Miele G 1872 Operating Instructions

							Installation
The dishwasher must be installed
and connected in compliance with
the installation instructions.
The dishwasher must be correctly
aligned to ensure problem-free
operation.
In order to ensure stability,
built-under and integrated
dishwashers must only be installed
under a continuous worktop which is
secured to adjacent cabinetry.
If you want to convert your
freestanding dishwasher to a
built-under (U) model, you will need to
order the appropriate conversion kit. If
you remove the existing plinth, you
must replace it with a U-model plinth.
This is necessary to avoid the risk of
injury caused by protruding metal
parts.
Correct use
Do not use solvents in the
dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
Do not inhale or 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 immediate
-
ly if detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled.
Avoid leaving the door open
unnecessarily, as you could trip
over it.
Do not sit or lean on the opened
door. This could cause the
dishwasher to tip and be damaged,
and you could get injured.
Only use detergent and rinse aid
formulated for domestic
dishwashers. Do not use washing-up
liquid.
Do not use commercial or industrial
detergents as these may cause
damage, and there is a risk of severe
chemical reaction.
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir
with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the
reservoir.
Warning and Safety instructions

							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!
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.
Disposal of your old
dishwasher
When disposing of an old
dishwasher, first make it unusable.
Disconnect, cut off the cable and the
plug from the cable.
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
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety 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, bag
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that 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.Please ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. See the Warning and
Safety section of this booklet for further
details.
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:
^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.
^If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be
connected to a hot water supply.
Select Without heater when washing
lightly to normally soiled dishes.
The water will not be heated in this
programme.  However, because the
water is not heated, drying results
may not match those of other
programmes.
^
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.

							Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
–Approx. 1 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.
This dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener sensor which automatically
sets the water softener unit for the
local water hardness level.
* In the UK, Miele branded products
are available from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet
on www.miele.co.uk.
External water softening
system
If your dishwasher is connected to an
external water softening system which
uses salt to reactivate, you will still need
to programme the dishwasher to the
correct water hardness level to achieve
good cleaning results.
^Set the water softener unit of the
dishwasher to the water hardness
level of the water which is supplied
from the external water softening
system.
If you do not know what this is, then
set the value at 1.4 mmol/l (8 °d) (see
Settings menuJ, External water
softening system).
Before using for the first time
17
 
						

							Filling the salt reservoir
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
softener unit.
The softener unit is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l
(70 °d). It requires dishwasher salt.
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. Selecting the Combi tabs
option reduces salt consumption to
between
1/3and1/4of the normal
amount. See Settings menuJ,
Detergent type.You can check the water hardness level
measured by the water softener sensor
in the display (see Settings menuJ,
Water hardness).
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantlylower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d)you should still
add salt before using the
dishwasher for the first time. Salt
should only be replenished when the
Insufficient salt message apears. In
areas with very soft water this could
be after a long period of time.
,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.

							^When filling the salt reservoironly
open the door halfwayto ensure
that all the salt gets into the reservoir.
^Press the button on the lid of the salt
reservoir in the direction of the arrow
until the flap springs open.
^
Lift up the funnel.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
water.
^Add salt only until the reservoir is full
or until water runs out of the opening.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 1 kg
of salt, depending on the brand
used.
Do not add any more than 1 kg of
salt.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced
water may overflow.
^
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening, and then close
the flap.
^
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.

							Insufficient salt indicator
^Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt for reactivation when the
Insufficient saltmessage appears.
(If it appears during a programme,
wait until the end of the programme).
^Confirm with
OK.
The Insufficient salt message will go
out.
After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the Insufficient salt message may still
appear in the display if the salt
concentration has not yet reached the
correct level.
If this is the case, confirm again with
OK.
,After refilling the salt reservoir,
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.
In the UK, Miele branded dishwasher
salt is available from the Miele Spare
