Miele G 1232 Sci Operating Instructions

							Note
Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.
There is no need to rinse items under
running water.
,Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease
or paint in the dishwasher. Ash does
not dissolve and is distributed in the
wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating
grease and paint cause damage to
the dishwasher.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in
the baskets, but the following notes
should be observed:
– Do not place crockery and cutlery
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
– Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures
that it is properly cleaned.
–
Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
–
Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the
basket.
–
Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the centre of the basket to
ensure better water coverage.–Deep based items should be placed
at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.
–The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets.
If in doubt, test for free movement by
manually rotating the spray arms.
–Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the
baskets. Small items, e.g. lids,
should therefore be placed in the
cutlery tray or cutlery basket
(depending on model).
Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup. Plastic items in the
dishwasher may discolour if large
quantities of these foodstuffs find
their way into the appliance on the
crockery. The stability of plastic
items is not affected by this
discolouration.

							Items not suitable for
dishwashers:
–Wooden cutlery and crockery or
items with wooden parts: these may
discolour and fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof
and wooden handles may come
loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.
–Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
and decorative glassware are also
not suitable for dishwashers.
–Plastic items which are not heat
resistant. The high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to
melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items may discolour or become matt.
– Colours painted over a glaze may
fade after a number of washes.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. Do not wash
delicate glassware, or glassware
containing lead crystal in a
dishwasher.We recommend:
–When purchasing new crockery and
cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-proof.
–If delicate glassware is washed in the
dishwasher ensure that only very low
temperatures are used (see
programme chart), or a special
glass-care programme is used
(depending on model). This will
reduce the risk of clouding.
–Wash particularly delicate glassware
by hand.
Please note
Silverwarepreviously cleaned with a
silver polishmay still be damp or
spotted at the end of a programme,
where water has not run off smoothly. It
may need rubbing dry with a soft cloth.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions,
mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish
brine and marinades.
,Aluminium components (e.g.
grease filters) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents. These
may damage the material, or in
extreme cases, cause a severe
chemical reaction. See section
Adding detergent for information
on suitable detergents.

							Upper basket
,For safety reasons, do not
operate the dishwasher without the

bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole
dishes can also be placed in the
upper basket.
^
Long items such as soup ladles,
mixing spoons and long knives
should be placed lying down across
the front of the upper basket.Hinged cup rack

							Adjusting the upper basket
In order to gain more space for taller
pieces of crockery in the bottom or
upper basket, the upper basket can be
adjusted on three levels with 2 cm
between each level.
The upper basket can also be set at an
angle with one side high and the other
side low. Ensure however, that the
basket can slide smoothly into the
cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket
before loading it.

detergent, tablets or liquid
dishwasher detergent.
Refer to the dosing instructions given
by the manufacturer on the
packaging.
^Put the detergent into the dispenser
compartment.

Quick programme, as the tablets
will not dissolve properly.
Failure to dispense the
recommended amount of detergent
may impair cleaning results.
,Avoid inhalation of powder
detergents and do not ingest
dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher
detergents can cause burning in the
nose, mouth and throat if swallowed,
or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor
immediately if detergent has been
swallowed or inhaled.
Keep detergent and other
household agents out of the reach of
children at all times. Keep children
away from the dishwasher when the
door is open. There could still be
detergent residues in the cabinet. To
avoid the danger of children coming
into contact with the dishwasher
detergent, only add detergent just
before starting the programme and
close the door, activating the child
safety lock (if your dishwasher is
fitted with one).
