© Eill-time tor
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,
Loading the top basket
The top basket mainly accommodates
‘small items such as
© Cups
© Saucers
© Dessert piates
© Glasses
© Small bowls
© Heat resistant plastic ware

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
basket.
Hollow bowls and

Saucers and dessert plates
Should be loaded on the right hand
side of the basket with the dirty side
facing the front of the machine.
Loading the bottom basket
The bottom basket mainly accommo-
dates large articles such as:
© Plates
© Serving platters
© Bowls
© Saucepans
as well as silverware.
Glass may only be cleaned in the
bottom basket if fitted with a special
glassware insert.
Plates
Plates should be sorted according to
diameter and depth and placed in the
basket with the dirty side facing the
front of the machine.
Hollow bowls and dishes
should be inverted.
Do not place larger items in the front
left hand section of the bottom basket

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.

‘Adding rinse aid
Rinse ald is poured into the storage
container with a capacity of approxi-
mately 12.2 cu in. The required
amount is dispensed automatically
during the final rinse.
@ Pour rinse aid into the storage con-
tainer and watch the level indicator
(see arrow in illustration above)
Tp
To avoid spilling rinse aid when filling
the container
© Open the door about two-thirds of
the way, lay the bottle against the
container opening and then open
the door while pouring,

Altering the amount of rinse aid
Closing the door
dispensed
A fixed quantity of rinse aid (approx.
2ml, pre-set at the factory) is dis-
pensed automatically during the final
rinse.
Increase the amount of rinse aid if
droplets form on the dishes. Decrease
the amount if the dishes are smeared,
© Undo the screw cap,
@ The dispenser adjuster can be
seen at the bottom of the opening,
© Use a screwdriver to push the dis
penser adjuster in the required di-
rection. Itcan be adjusted between
1-6, i. e. between 1 to 6 ml. rinse
aid is dispensed per program.
@ Replace the screw cap securely.
To close the door, itt up until the lock
catches. The “Door release” button
should not be pressed when closing
the door as the lock will not catch and
the dishwasher cannot be switched

When the dishwasher has been
loaded, the detergent added, and the
door firmly closed, proceed as follows:
‘Turn on the water valve
Before switching on, the water valve
must be turned on. The dishwasher is
then ready for operation.
Should you ever forget to open the
water valve and the program has al-
ready started, turn the program switch
‘clockwise round to the “Stop” posi-
tion, "0", and turn the “program indi-
ator" clockwise round to the “Start”
position. After opening the watervalve

The program indicator switch remains
stationary at the beginning of the main
wash and final rinse sectors until the
required temperature has been
reached.
The length of the heating up period
depends on whether the machine is
connected toa hot or cold water supp-
ly and on the size of the load. The
heating up period is shorter if the ma-
chine is connected to a hot water
supply.

Interrupting a program
For example, when articles in the
dishwasher rattle or bump against
each other during a program and have
to be rearranged,
Turn the program selector switch to
“0”. The door can then be opened and
the dishes loaded correctly.
Then, close the door and turn the
program selector switch to the re-
quired program.
Note:
Leave the door ajar for a few
minutes.
After waiting a short while, the door
can then be closed.
With the exception of the “Rinse &
Hold” program, all the programs are
completed when the program switch
has turned through one complete rev-
lution and is at the “Stop” position.
To achieve complete disconnection of
the machine:
© Turnthe program selector switch to
o"
© Tum off the water valve.
Unloading the machine
You should allow 15 minutes after
completion of the program for the load
to coo! down.
Then open the door. The bottom
basket should be cleared before the
top basket.
Drops of water may remain in the bot-
tom of some vessels (such as cups or
bowls) after drying,
Unloading the top basket first could
cause drops of water to fall on to dry
articles in the bottom basket
Consequently it is best to unload
the bottom basket first.
If the door is opened a fraction at the
end of the program, the load will cool
down within a few minutes. The dis-
hes can then be removed dry,

Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet
The wash water passes through a
triple filter combination in the base of
the wash cabinet which consists of
© Coarse filter
© Fine filter
© Micro-fine filter
{tis of the utmost importance that the
filters are kept clean, otherwise the
water overflow protection cannot
function propery.
The filter combination has been de-
signed so that most of the soils are
collected in the coarse filter.
The coarse filter should therefore be
inspected and, if necessary, cleaned
after every program
Cleaning the coarse filter

© Clean the filter,
© Replace the clean filter and press

is then re-
@ Insert the fine and micro-fine filters
and screw firmly into place.
@ Replace the coarse filter until it

The dishwasher must not be used
without all the filters in place.
Cleaning the filters in the water inlet
Two fillers are incorporated in the
water inlet to protect the solenoid
valve and filter out any impurities in
the water supply.
The filters must be cleaned when
dirty, otherwise insufficient water
flows into the wash cabinet.
One filter is located in the solenoid
valve and may only be cleaned or re-
placed by a trained engineer. As this
seldom needs to be done ~ if at all —
there is @ second easily accessible
filter in the threaded union of the water
inlet hose.
