Miele G 1173 Scvi Operating Instructions

							Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
The packaging consists of the following
materials:
Outer packaging:
– Corrugated cardboard made from up
to 100% recyclable material,
or: Polyethylene (PE) shrink wrap
– Polyproplylene (PP) strapping
Inner packaging:
– Chlorine and fluorine free expanded
polystyrene (EPS)
–
Base, lid frame and support battens
made from untreated natural wood
from renewable forests.
–
Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of your
old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
To enable sorting by type of plastic for
recycling, all plastic parts of the
appliance are labelled with international
standard symbols.

							Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity. You can make the most of
your appliance by following these tips:
^If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be
connected to a hot water supply for
further economies. If the water is
heated by for example, solar panels,
this would be energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity we would recommend
connection to cold water.
^For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
^Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
^Select the Energy save programme
for energy-saving dishwashing.
^
Follow the detergent manufacturers
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
^
When using powder or liquid
detergent, you can use
1/3less
detergent if baskets are only half full.

							Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in the build-up of calcium
deposits on crockery and in the
dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d –
German scale)needs to be softened.
This takes place automatically in the
integrated water softener.
–The water softener requires
dishwasher salt.
If you use 3 in 1 or 4in1 products
in your dishwasher, you should still
add salt in order to achieve optimum
results.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed for the water hardness
in your area.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 °d
German scale) always programme the
dishwasher to the higher value
(3.1 mmol/l in this example).
In the event of a fault, it will help the
service technician if you know the
hardness of your local water supply.
^
Enter the water hardness below:
mmol/l or °d
The dishwasher is set at the factory
for a hardness level of
0.2 - 0.7 mmol/l (1 - 4 °d).
If this setting corresponds to the
hardness of your water you do not need
to do anything more.
If your water is harder or softer, you will
need to programme the water hardness
level. See following section.
Before using for the first time

							To programme the water hardness
level
Each time a button is pressed, one of
the indicator lights will flash and light
up in the control panel. However, only
the indicator lights mentioned in the
following programming process stages
are significant.
The programming procedure can be
cancelled at any time by pressing the
Off buttonV. The procedure can
then be re-started from the beginning
again.
^Switch the dishwasher off with the Off
buttonV.
^Press the programme selector button
;?in, andwhilst holding it in
switch the dishwasher on using the
On buttonU.
Keep the programme selector button
;?pressed in until the lower right
hand programme indicator comes
on.
If this does not happen, start the
procedure from the beginning again.
^
Press the programme selector button
;?twice briefly.
The Inlet/drain check light2/2will
flash twice briefly at intervals, and the
upper right hand programme indicator
will flash briefly once at intervals
(factory default setting).
^
Press the programme selector button
;?for at least 1 second until the
Inlet/drain check light2/2comes
on.The number of times the upper right
hand programme indicator flashes tells
you the water hardness level which has
been set (see chart).
°d mmol/l °f Flashing
1 - 4 0.2 - 0.7 2- 7 Once briefly
5 - 7 0.9 - 1.3 9- 13 Twice briefly
8 - 11 1.4 - 2.0 14- 20 3 times briefly
12 - 15 2.2 - 2.7 22- 27 4 times briefly
16 - 20 2.9 - 3.6 29- 36 5 times briefly
21 - 25 3.8 - 4.5 38- 45 6 times briefly
26 - 30 4.7 - 5.4 47- 54 7 times briefly
31 - 36 5.6 - 6.5 56- 65 8 times briefly
37 - 45 6.7 - 8.1 67- 81 9 times briefly
46 - 70 8.3 - 12.6 83-126 Once for longer
^Press the programme selector button
;?briefly to select the number of
flashes which equates to your water
hardness level.
Each press of the button moves you
up a level. When the highest water
hardness level is reached, the setting
starts from the beginning again.
Example:
If your water hardness level is
4.0 mmol/l (22 °d), the upper right
hand programme indicator should
flash briefly six times at intervals.

							Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
–approx. 2 litres of water,
–approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt*,
–domestic dishwasher detergent*,
–rinse aid* formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been used
previously.
Filling the salt reservoir
If the water hardness in your area is
constantlylower than 4 °d (= 0.7
mmol/l)you donotneed to add
salt. The water softener must,
however, still be programmed to
correspond to the water hardness
level in your area.
If you use combination products
which have salt in them, such as
3 in 1 or 4 in 1 products you
should still add salt in order to
achieve optimum results and to
ensure that the water softener
continues to function correctly.
Important: Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time, you must fill it with
approx. 2 litres of water to enable
the salt to dissolve. Once the
dishwasher has been used, there is
always sufficient water in the
reservoir.
,Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent always leads
to serious damage to the water
softener. Make sure you have
picked up the correct packet of
dishwasher salt before filling the salt
reservoir!
,Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do
not use other salts such as cooking
salt, agricultural grade or gritting
salt. These may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
Before using for the first time
17
 
						

							^Remove the lower basket and
unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Only open the salt reservoir when
you want to fill it with dishwasher salt
as water or salt solution will run out
of the reservoir when the cap is
removed.
^Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres
of water (first use only).
^
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
salt until the reservoir is full. The salt
reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt
depending on the brand used.
As the salt reservoir is filled,
displaced water will overflow.
^
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on againfirmly.
^
Run the Quick wash programme
9immediately (without any crockery
in the dishwasher) to remove any
traces of salt from the cabinet.
Salt refill indicatorF
^Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt when the salt indicator lightF
comes on. (If it comes on during a
programme, wait until the end of the
programme).
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically
reactivated the next time the
dishwasher is run. The salt indicator
light may still be illuminated during this
process. It will go out once the salt
concentration has reached the correct
level.
,After filling the salt reservoir, run
the Quick wash programme9im-
mediately (without any crockery in
the dishwasher) to remove any
traces of salt from the cabinet.

							Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on
crockery during the drying phase and
helps crockery dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically.
,Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with powder or liquid
detergent always causes serious
damage to the reservoir. Only pour
rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers into the reservoir.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
– Household vinegar with a max. 5%
acid content
or
– Liquid citric acid up to 10% acid
content.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
will not, however, be as good as when
rinse aid is used.
,Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence
25% acid). This would damage the
dishwasher.
If you only ever use 2 in 1, 3 in 1
or 4 in 1 products in your
dishwasher, you do not need to add
rinse aid.
Adding rinse aid
^Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
Before using for the first time
19
 
						

							^Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
110 ml.
^Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water can enter
the rinse aid during a programme.
^Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring
during the next programme.
Rinse aid indicator(
When the rinse aid indicator(comes
on, the reservoir contains sufficient
rinse aid for2-3programmes only.
^Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
