							Detergent
,Only use detergents formulated
for domestic dishwashers. Do not
use washing-up liquid.
Miele branded dishwasher cleaning
products are available from the Miele
Spare Parts Department or via the
Internet at www.miele-shop.com.
Active ingredients
Modern detergents contain various
active ingredients, the most important
of which are:
– Phosphates to prevent calcification.
– Alkalis to aid removal of dried on
soiling.
– Enzymes to break down starch and
dissolve protein.
– Oxygen based bleaching agents to
remove coloured stains (e.g. tea,
coffee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents contain
phosphates and are mildly alkaline with
enzymes and oxygen based bleaching
agents. Phosphate free products are
rare.
Types of detergent:
–
Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the size of load and level of soiling.
–
Tab detergents. These are suitable
for most levels of soiling.A variety of combination products is also
available (see section Additional
functions, Combi-tab, depending on
model).
In addition to detergent, combi tabs
contain rinse aid and salt substitutes.
Combi tabs are available as 3 in 1 or,
when they also contain other components
such as glass and stainless steel
protective additives and enhanced
cleaning power, as 4 in 1, 5 in 1 etc.
Refer to the manufacturers packaging as
to whether the combi tabs are suitable for
the water hardness level in your area.
Please note that the cleaning and drying
results of tab detergents can vary greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying
results use Miele dishwasher
detergent and add Miele salt and
Miele rinse aid separately.
Dispensing
^Follow the dosage recommended on
the packaging.
^
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml
detergent in compartment II,
depending on the level of soiling.
With very heavy soiling you can also
add a small amount of detergent to
compartment l (see Programme
chart).
^
Do not use tabs with the Quick wash
programme, as they will not dissolve
properly.
Failure to dispense the
recommended amount of detergent
may impair cleaning results.
Operation
32
 
						

							,Avoid inhalation of powder
detergents and do not ingest
dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher
detergents contain irritant or corrosive
ingredients which 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).
Adding detergent
^
Press the opening catch on the
detergent dispenser. The flap will
spring open.The flap is always open at the end of a
programme.
^Add the required amount of
detergent and close the flap.
^Make sure that the detergent
packaging is properly closed after
use to avoid it getting damp and
becoming lumpy.
For information
Compartment I holds max. 10 ml,
Compartment II holds max. 50 ml.
There are markings in compartment II
to assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The
marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or
30 ml when the door is open in a
horizontal position.

The different programmes and their
uses are described in the Programme
chart later on in this booklet.
Starting a programme
^Select the programme required with
the programme selector button.
The indicator light for the programme
selected lights up.
The programme duration will appear in
hours and minutes in the display.
If the Turbo and/or Combi tabs
functions have been selected, the
corresponding indicator(s) will also light
up.
You can now select an additional
function (see Additional functions).
^Start the programme by closing the
door.
The In-operation indicator light comes
on to show that a programme has been
started.
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
34
 
						

							Time display
The duration of the programme
selected appears in hours and minutes
in the Time 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 can be due to
the water temperature at each intake,
the reactivation cycle, the amount of
crockery and how dirty it is.
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 adjusts the programme
duration according to the amount of
crockery and the temperature of the
incoming water.
To save energy, the time display goes
out after a few minutes if you do not
press any buttons during this time.
Press any button (apart from the Off
button) to switch the time display
back on again.
At the end of a programme
At the end of a programme, the
In-operation indicator light will be
visible flashing slowly with the door
shut.
When the door is opened a 0 will
appear in the Time display.
You can now empty the dishwasher.
The In-operation indicator light will go
out one hour after the end of the
programme.
,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.
Operation
35
 
						

							Switching off
At the end of a programme:
^Open the door.
^Switch the dishwasher off with the Off
button.
The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until it is switched off with
the Off button.
If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e. g.
whilst on holiday, the stopcock should
be turned off.
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 finally the 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.
Operation
36
 
						

							Interrupting a programme
A programme is interrupted as soon as
the door is opened.
When 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.

Turbo
The Turbo function is used to reduce
the duration of programmes in which
this function is available.
In order to achieve optimum cleaning
results, consumption rates are
increased with this option.
If a full programme is not yet required,
the Turbo function can be used in
conjunction with the Quick wash
programme to rinse off dirty crockery.Combi tabs
To ensure excellent results you can
programme your dishwasher for the
type of detergent you are using.
The Turbo/Combi tabs button is used
here for selecting between standard
detergents (powder, liquid and 2 in 1
tabs) and combination detergents
(3in1/4in1tabs etc.).
The programme sequence is then
adapted to suit the type of detergent
selected. Depending on the
programme, the duration can be
considerably longer.
If the Combi tabs indicator does not
light up, the dishwasher is set for stan-
dard detergent.
If the Combi tabs indicator lights up,
the programme sequence will be
adapted to suit detergents that contain
rinse aid and salt substitutes as well as
other components where applicable.
The rinse aid dispenser and the rinse
aid indicator light are deactivated.
Salt consumption for reactivating the
water softener is reduced to
1/3to1/4of
the normal amount.
Do not select the Combi tabs option if
your water hardness level is above
3.8 mmol/l or 21°d.
Follow the detergent manufacturers
instructions.
The cleaning and drying
performance of these types of
detergent can vary enormously.

							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
delay 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 detergent
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.^Open the door.
^Switch the dishwasher on with the On
button.
The On indicator lightcomes on.
