    							Switching on
    ^Make sure the spray arms are not
    obstructed.
    ^Close the door.
    ^Open the stopcock, if it is closed.
    ^Switch the dishwasher on with the
    On/Off buttons.
    The Start/Stop indicator light flashes
    and the indicator light comes on next to
    the last programme selected.
    Selecting a programme
    Choose your programme according to
    the type of load and how dirty it is.
    The different programmes and their
    uses are described in the programme
    chart later on in this booklet.
    Starting a programme
    ^Select the programme required using
    the programme selector button.
    The indicator light for the programme
    selected comes on.
    The programme duration will appear in
    the hours and minutes in the display.
    You can now select an additional
    function (see Additional functions).
    ^Press the Start/Stop button.
    The programme cycle will begin. The
    Start/Stop and Wash/Rinse indicators
    and the indicator for the programme
    selected will light up.
    If the 2 in 1-Tab or 3 in 1-Tab function
    has been selected, the corresponding
    indicator will light up as well.
    A programme can only be cancelled
    in the first few minutes. Otherwise
    the programme must continue to the
    end so that important programme
    stages (e.g. reactivating the water
    softener) are not omitted.
    Operation
    31
     
    						
    							Display
    The duration of the programme
    selected appears in hours and minutes
    in the display before the programme
    begins. During the programme, the
    time left until the end of the programme
    is displayed.
    The time displayed may vary with the
    same programme. This is partly
    because of the water inlet temperature
    at each intake, and partly because of
    the amount and soiling level of the
    crockery.
    When a programme is selected for the
    first time, the display shows an average
    time for a cold water intake.
    The times shown in the programme
    chart refer to standard test loads and
    temperatures.
    Each time a programme is run, the
    electronic unit takes the new conditions
    into account, and calculates the time
    required.
    Programme sequence
    indicators
    After a programme has been started,
    the current stage of the programme is
    indicated by the programme sequence
    indicator lights.
    At the end of a programme
    A programme has finished when a 0
    appears in the display and the End
    programme sequence indicator lights
    up.
    The dishwasher can now be opened
    and unloaded (see Unloading the
    dishwasher).
    ,To prevent the risk of steam
    damage to the worktop edging
    above the dishwasher, it is advisable
    to leave the door closed until you are
    ready to unload the crockery.
    Alternatively you can open the door
    fully until the crockery is cool
    enough to unload. Do not leave the
    door only partially open.
    Switching off
    At the end of a programme:
    ^Switch the dishwasher off with the
    On/Off buttons.
    The dishwasher will continue to use
    electricity until the On/Off buttons
    is switched off.
    If the dishwasher is not to be used for a
    longer period of time, e. g. whilst on
    holiday, the stopcock should be turned
    off.
    Operation
    32
     
    						
    							Unloading the dishwasher
    Dishes tend to break and chip more
    easily when they are hot.
    Allow the dishes to cool until they are
    comfortable enough to handle before
    unloading them.
    If you open the door fully after switching
    off, the dishes will cool much faster.
    ^First unload the lower basket, then
    the upper basket and cutlery tray
    (depending on model).
    This will prevent water drops from the
    upper basket and cutlery tray from
    falling onto the dishes in the lower
    basket.
    Interrupting a programme
    A programme is interrupted as soon as
    the door is opened.
    If the door is closed again, the
    programme will continue from the point
    it was at before the door was opened.
    ,Water in the dishwasher may be
    hot. Danger of scalding!
    Only open the door if absolutely
    necessary and exercise extreme
    caution when doing so. Before
    closing the door again, leave it ajar
    for approx. 20 seconds. This will
    enable the temperature in the wash
    cabinet to settle. Then close the
    door firmly making sure that it clicks
    into place.
    Changing a programme
    Important:
    If the detergent dispenser flap has
    already opened, do not change the
    programme.
    If a programme has already started and
    you wish to change it, proceed as
    follows:
    ^
    Press the Start/Stop button for at
    least one second.
    The programme will be cancelled.
    ^
    Select the programme you want and
    then start it.
    Operation

    							Additional functions
    Tab function
    You can programme your dishwasher to
    ensure excellent results when using
    tablet detergents by simply selecting
    the 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 function using the
    Tab button.
    The programme sequence will be
    adjusted to the type of detergent
    selected. Depending on the
    programme, the duration can be
    considerably longer.
    "2 in 1":
    When the 2 in 1 function is selected,
    the programme sequence is adjusted
    for 2 in 1 tabs (detergent containing
    rinse aid).
    The dispensing of rinse aid and the
    rinse aid refill indicator light are
    deactivated.
    "3 in 1":
    When the 3 in 1 function is selected,
    the programme sequence is adjusted
    for 3 in 1 tabs (detergent containing
    rinse aid and salt substitutes).
    The dispensing of rinse aid and the
    rinse aid refill indicator light are
    deactivated.
    Salt consumption in the water softener
    is reduced to between
    1/4and1/3of the
    normal amount.Do not select the 3 in 1 function if:
    –using 2 in 1 tabs (detergent with
    rinse aid)
    –your water hardness level is above
    3.8 mmol or 21 °d.
    Follow the detergent manufacturers
    instructions.
    The washing and drying
    performance of these types of
    detergent can vary enormously.
    ^Switch the dishwasher on with the
    On/Off buttons.
    The Start/Stop indicator light will flash.
    ^Press the Tab button until the
    detergent type of your choice (2 in 1
    or 3 in 1) lights up.
    If neither of the indicators lights up, the
    dishwasher is set for normal detergent.
    The function selected is active on all
    programmes until the setting is
    changed.
    ^
    You can now start a programme or
    switch the dishwasher off using the
    On/Off buttons.
    Operation
    34
     
    						
    							Delay start
    The start time of a programme can be
    delayed, e.g. to benefit from economy
    rates of electricity. A delay start time of
    between 30 minutes and 24 hours can
    be selected.
    With a delay start time of between
    30 minutes and 9 hours 30 minutes, the
    time is set in 30 minute stages. For
    10 hours or more it is set in one hour
    stages.
    When using the Delay start function,
    make sure that the compartment is
    dry before adding detergent. Wipe
    dry with a cloth if necessary. If the
    compartment is wet, powder
    detergent can become lumpy and
    stick to the dispenser, with the result
    that it is not fully dispensed.
    Do not use liquid detergent when
    selecting Delay start, as it can run
    into the dishwasher before it is
    required.^Switch the dishwasher on with the
    On/Off buttons.
    The Start/Stop indicator light will flash.
    ^Select the programme required using
    the programme selector button.
    ^Press the Delay start button.
    The last Delay start time used will
    appear in the display. The Delay Start
    indicator light comes on.
    ^Set the time required using the Delay
    start button.
    ^Press the Start/Stop button.
    The Start/Stop indicator light will come
    on.
    Operation
    35
     
    						
    							The time starts counting down until the
    programme start time: in 1 hour steps
    for delay start periods of over 10 hours,
    and in minutes for delay start periods of
    under 10 hours.
    At the end of the delay period, the
    programme selected begins
    automatically. The time left for a
    programme to run then shows in the
    display, the Delay start indicator light
    goes out and the Start/Stop indicator
    light comes on.
    How the Delay start time is shown in
    the display:
    up to 59 minutes:
    e.g. 30 minutes =30
    between 1 hour and 9 hours 30
    minutes:
    e.g. 5 hours =5.00
    10 hours and over:
    e.g. 15 hours =15^

    Operation
    38
     
    						
    							Check your dishwasher regularly
    (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This
    way faults and problems can be
    avoided.
    Cleaning the wash cabinet
    The wash cabinet is largely
    self-cleaning, provided that the correct
    amount of detergent is always used.
    If, however, there are limescale or
    grease deposits in the cabinet these
    can be removed with a proprietary
    dishwasher cleaner, such as the Miele
    dishwasher cleaner (available from the
    Miele UK Spare Parts Department).
    Cleaning the door and the door
    seal
    ^Wipe the door seals regularly with a
    damp cloth to remove food deposits.
    ^When the dishwasher is being
    loaded, food and drink residue may
    drip onto the sides of the dishwasher
    door.
    These surfaces are outside the wash
    cabinet and are not accessed by
    water from the spray arms. Any
    soiling should be wiped off these
    surfaces before the door is closed.
    E-Cloth
    ^
    A microfibre E-Cloth is available
    from the Miele UK Spare Parts
    Department, which is suitable for
    cleaning surfaces such as stainless
    steel, glass, plastic and chrome
    without the use of chemicals.
    Cleaning the door front
    ,Do not use any cleaning agents
    containing ammonia or thinners.
    These would damage the surface
    structure.
    ^Clean the front using a Miele E-cloth
    or with suitable cleaning agent for the
    type of material the front is made of.
    Follow the manufacturers
    instructions.
    ^Door fronts made from wood should
    only be cleaned using a damp cloth,
    and then dried with a soft cloth.
    ^Door fronts made of stainless steel
    should be cleaned using a damp
    cloth and a little washing up liquid, or
    a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
    agent designed specifically for use
    on stainless steel.
    ^To help prevent re-soiling, a
    proprietary conditioning agent for
    stainless steel, such as Neoblank
    (available from the Miele UK Spare
    Parts Department) can also be used.
    Follow the manufacturers instructions
    on the label and apply sparingly with
    an even pressure following the
    direction of the grain.
    Cleaning and care
    39
     
    						
    							Cleaning the control panel
    ,Do not use abrasive cleaning
    agents, glass cleaning agents or
    all-purpose cleaners. Because of
    their chemical composition they
    could cause serious damage to
    surfaces.
    Plastic panels:
    ^This type of control panel should only
    be wiped with a damp cloth or
    suitable cleaning agent designed for
    use on plastic.
    Stainless steel panels:
    ^Control panels made of stainless
    steel should be cleaned using a
    damp cloth and a little washing up
    liquid, or a proprietary non-abrasive
    cleaning agent designed specifically
    for use on stainless steel (do not use
    it on the controls).
    ^To help prevent re-soiling, a
    proprietary conditioning agent for
    stainless steel, such as Neoblank
    (available from the Miele UK Spare
    Parts Department) can also be used.
    Follow the manufacturers instructions
    on the label and apply sparingly with
    an even pressure following the
    direction of the grain.
    Aluminium panels:
    ^
    Clean aluminium panels with a damp
    cloth and a little washing up liquid.
    Aluminium is affected by the way that
    light falls on it, by the surrounding
    environment and by the angle you
    observe it from.
    ,Stainless steel and aluminium
    surfaces and controls are
    susceptible to scratching and
    abrasion, and must be treated with
    due care. They may suffer
    discolouration or damage if soiling is
    left on them for too long.
    Remove soiling immediately.
