The selector is set at “normal” in
the factory (slot horizontal), see
lll. 1, and at this setting is very
economical in its use of water and
energy.
If the water pressure is too low (i.e.
less than 1.5 bar, 147 KN per m?),
then itis advisable to set the selec:
tor to the “extended” position to
ensure a good cleaning result.
© Use a coin to turn the fil-time-se-
lector counter — clockwise to the
‘extended” position (slot vertical),
mM. 2.
If you preter to have extra water for
washing your dishes, then likewise
select the “extended” position,
It must be pointed out that at this
setting the dishwasher will also use
slightly more electricity.

Capacity
When fully loaded the machine can
accommodate 12 “standard” place
settings including serving dishes
and silverware.
The top and bottom basket with silver
ware insert serve to accommodate the
articles to be washed.
The top and bottom basket should be
pulled out to the stop position for
loading
Use the baskets to their fullest capa-
city without overloading to get the
most economical use of the dish-
washer.
Remove large soils
Large soils should be removed before
placing the dishes in the machine. The
dishes should not be dirtier than when
ut into the sink for washing by hand,

Example of an assorted load
Two rows of cups or other shallow
vessels, e. g. soup cups, may be
placed one above the other on the
sloping racks on the left hand side of
the basket
To facilitate loading the lower rack,the
upper sloping rack can be raised to an
upright position.
This feature also enables you to load
tall objects on the left side of the

bottom basket if fitted with a special
glassware insert.
Plates

Allkinds of dishes in general domestic
Use can be washed in the Miele dish-
washer. The particular properties of
some items however, should be kept
in mind,
When purchasing new dishes, make
sure they are dishwasher proof!
Cups, bowls etc. with recessed
Aluminum
Aluminum articles can suffer some
discoloration,
as
can
silver
cutlery
when used’ with foods containing
sulphur (e. g. eggs).
The discoloration on silver cutlery can
be removed easily with silver polish,
Hand-made or craft items
bottoms:
hinder the drying process as the drops
of water which remain in the recesses
do not evaporate so quickly.
On dishes with colored patterns
ifthe color is beneath a good glaze, it
can be considered permanent.
Painted dishes ~ over the glaze
Colors painted on over the glaze are
generally produced in a quality which,
bearing in mind the normal lifespan of
the article, can be regarded as per-
manent
With frequent use, fading of some
delicate colors cannot always be en-
tirely avoided.
I you are not sure whether the colors
of a particular set of dishes are per-
‘manent, test wash one or two items
which are already damaged for about
4 weeks.
are often not suitable for machine
washing. The relatively high tempera-
tures may result in damage to these
articles.
Wood
‘Wood articles, e. g. cutting boards are
sensitive to intensive cleaning and
may warp or split
Old knives
The blades and handles of old knives,
‘may be glued together and therefore
should not be cleaned in the dish-
washer as the glue may not be heat
resistant.
Plastic
Plastic articles may distort if they are
not heat resistant.
Only wash plastic articles known to be
heat resistant in a dishwasher, in
which case use the top basket only,
When in doubt, wash by hand.

Notes on types of load
Glassware
it should be noted that some glass-
ware may not be suitable for automatic
dishwashers. With use, etching could
occur. We therefore recommend that,
where possible, glasses be washed in
the "Economy" program. The danger
‘of
damage
should
be
less
in
this
program.
Please
ensure
glasses
are
securely
loaded
in
the
top
basket
and
cannot
rattle
against
each
other.
Glasses
should
only
be
washed
in
the
top
basket.
If
washed
in
the
bottom
basket,
the
special
glassware
insert
must
be
used
(available
from
the
Miele
Spares
Department),
Valuable glasses should be washed
by hand,
For automatic dishwashing you re:
quire:
© Powder or granular detergent
© Liquid rinse aid
Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers.
Do not use liquid detergent!
‘Adding
detergent
Powder detergent is poured into the
dispenser before each program,
except for “Rinse & Hold”
@ For the “Economy” program you
will require approx. 1'/s tablespoons.
© For all other programs you will re-
quire approx. 2 tablespoons
After
adding
detergent,
close
the
lid
of
the
dispenser.
The
detergent
is
auto-
matically
added
at
the
correct
time
during
the
program.
