Miele G 1272 Scvi Operating Instructions

							~Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent will damage the water
softener. Make sure you have picked
up the correct packet of dishwasher
salt before filling the salt reservoir!
~Please only use special coarse
grained dishwasher salt for reactivation,
as other salts may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the softener.
~In an appliance with a cutlery basket
(depending on model) cutlery is
cleaned and dried more efficiently if
placed in the basket with the handles
downwards. However, to avoid the risk
of injury, place knives and forks etc.
with the handles upwards.
~Plastic items which cannot withstand
being washed in hot water, such as
disposable plastic containers, or plastic
cutlery and crockery should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher. The high
temperatures in the dishwasher may
cause them to melt or lose shape.
~On models with Delay start, make
sure that the dispenser is dry before
adding detergent. Wipe dry if
necessary. Detergent will clog if poured
into a damp dispenser and may not be
thoroughly dispersed.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele spare parts
and accessories with this appliance. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
Disposal of your old
dishwasher
~Make the door lock inoperative so
that children cannot accidentally shut
themselves in. Make appropriate
arrangements for the disposal of the
appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by

							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 water supply is suitable, this
dishwasher can be connected to hot
water for further economies. If the
water is heated by solar panels, for
example, 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.
– 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 6.7 - 9.0 mmol/l (37 -
50 °d German scale) always
programme the dishwasher to the
higher value (9.0 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 programmed at
the factory for a water hardness level
of 2.7 mmol/l (15 °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
15
 
						

							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 button. The procedure can
then be re-started from the beginning
again.
^Switch the dishwasher off using the
Off button.
^Press the programme selector button
in, andwhilst holding it inswitch
the dishwasher on using the On
button.
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 Turbo/Combi tabs button
twice.
The Combi tabs indicator light will flash
briefly twice at intervals.The characters p15 will flash one
after the other in the display.
This means that the water hardness
level has been set at 15 °d (2.7 mmol/l)
(factory setting).
The value which has been set for the
water hardness is shown as a figure
after the p in the display (see the
following chart).
Use the programme selector button to
select the value which corresponds to
your water hardness level.
Each press on the button moves you up
a level. When the highest water
hardness level is reached, the setting
starts from the beginning again.

							Miele branded products are available
from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
–Approx. 2 litre 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 you use combination products
which have salt in them in your
dishwasher, 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.
Selecting the Combi tabs option
reduces salt consumption to
between
1/3and1/4of the normal
amount.
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantlylower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale)
youdo not need to add salt.
The water softener, however must
be programmed to correspond to
the water hardness level in your
area.
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 will damage
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
18
 
						

							^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.
^
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on againfirmly.
^
Run the Quick wash programme im-
mediately (without any crockery in
the dishwasher, and without selecting
the Turbo extra option) to remove any
traces of salt from the cabinet.
Salt indicator
^Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt when the salt indicator light
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 refill
indicator may still be illuminated during
this process. It will go out once the salt
concentration has reached the correct
level.
The salt refill indicator will not come on
if the dishwasher has been
programmed for a water hardness level
of less than 0.7 mmol/l (4°d - German
scale).
,After filling the salt reservoir, run
the Quick wash programme immedi-
ately (without any crockery in the
dishwasher, and without selecting
the Turbo extra option) to remove
any traces of salt from the cabinet.
Before using for the first time

							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 combination
products containing rinse aid 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.
