SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Economy Wash
These dishwashers are extremely
water and energy saving. Note the
following hints:
© Connect dishwasher to hot water.
This saves time and energy and
protects the dishes.
Energy costs are further reduced it
the water is pre-heated.
@ Fill the baskets to full capacity, but
do not overload.
® Select a program according to
type of load and amount of soils.
€ For half-loaded baskets, select
"Economy" Program,
€ Pay attention to dosage instruc-
tions for the detergent.

Opening and Closing the Door
To Open
@ Hold handgrip and push up.
If door is opened during operation, all
functions are automatically interrupted.
To Close
© Insert baskets.
© Pul door up and close unti it catches.

Water Softener
To prevent mineral deposits on
dishes and inside the dishwasher, the
water must first be softened, if it is
harder than 8 grains per gallon.
The built-in water softener works
efficiently only it

correctly
2. the salt container is kept full.
Exception:
If the degree of hardness in local
water is permanently under 8 grains
per gallon (140 mglliter) with low
carbonate hardness, there is no need
to reactivate. Your local water autho-
rity will advise you on water hardness
in your area.
Water Hardness Selector
After consulting your local water au-
thority to establish water hardness in
your area, adjust the selector accord-
ing to the table below, using a screw-
driver or coin.
Water Hardness Selector Adjustments
6 positions are possible:
IF your dishwasher is set with fill time
option, (see p. 28), the water hard-
ness selector must be set one setting
higher than for the normal water hard-
ness setting (except with 1170-1250
mg/l).

Water Softener / Filling Salt Reservoir
Please use only special coarse-
grained reactivation salt, as other
Salts may contain insoluble additives
which can impair the functioning of
the softener.
Inadvertently filing the
tainer with dishwasher detergent
will always lead to damage to the
water softener.
Make sure that you have pioked up
the right packet of reactivating salt
before filing the salt container.
e Remove lower basket
© Unscrew cap of salt reservoir
Before filling the salt reservoir for
the first time:
Fill salt reservoir with approx. 2
quarts of water,

@ Remove any grains of salt from the
threaded union of the salt reser-
voir, replace plastic cap and
tighten.
Immediately thereafter run the “Rinse

traces of salt from the cabinet.
This is not necessary if a normal
program is run immediately.

Water Softener / Filling Salt Reservoir
Should the salt indicator light stay
constantly on, the floater inside the
cap of the salt reservoir may be
blocked.
Remove the cap of the salt reservoir
and rinse under hot water until green
indicator is free to move. Replace
cap.
If reactivation is not necessary due
to low water hardness level, the
salt indicator light on the control
panel can be disengaged as fol-
lows:
® Break out the bottom of the floater
guide.
@ Push the enclosed foam rubber
piece through the bottom of the
floater guide.
The floater then remains in the
upper part and the indicator light
is thus shut off

Please Note:
e Place dishes in such order that
they can be rinsed from all sides.
e Dishes and cutlery should not
cover each other.
0 Hollow objects, such as cups,
glasses and pots should be in-
verled.
€ Dishes with recessed bottoms,
such as cups, bowls, etc., should
be placed in such a way that the
water runs off,
@ Place tall, narrow objects in the
center basket
© Do not cover small objects in top
basket with larger ones, for
example: place dessert cups on
top of regular cups, not the other
way around,
0 Make sure not to cover up the inlet
funnel to the spray arm in the
center of upper basket.
© Do not block spray arms with tall
objects. If necessary, manually
rotate the arms to test them.
Upper Basket
The upper basket mainly accommo-
dates small, delicate objects, such
as:

Cutlery — for Dishwasher with Cut-
lery Tray (G 595 SC)
The cutlery tray ensures excellent
cleaning and drying results, is easily
loaded and prevents objects from
getting scratched. The loading and
Unloading is especially hygienic as
only the handles are touched. Sharp
knifes and forks donot then presenta
danger
© itis recommended that the cutlery
be arranged in zones, ie. one
zone for knives, forks, spoons and
teaspoons, etc. This also makes
unloading much easier
e Place spoons sideways into the
grids so that water can easily drain
off.
A variety of cullery may be arranged
in the cutlery tray. For instance
Spoons with round or oval handles
‘can be placed the other way around,
but make sure the water can easily
drain oft.
For your information: The cutlery tray
is removable, thus making the re-
moval of your cutlery easier

Not suitable for Dishwasher
e Utensils with wood or plastic
handles.
€ Wood or plastic objects and cut-
ling boards may warp or split.
€ Old knives, blades and handles of
old knives may be glued together
and therefore should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher as the
glue may not be heat-resistant.
8 Handmade or craft items.
© Copper or tin items.
© 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
Please note:
Silver and aluminum articles when
used with foods containing sulphur,
may suffer some discoloration. Dis-
colorations on silver cutlery can be
removed with silver polish.

Which, bearing in mind the normal
lifespan of the article, can be re-

With frequent use, fading of some
delicate colors cannot always be en-

Ifyou are not sure whether the colors

which are already damaged for about
four weeks.
MIELE recommends the followin
€ Glasses should only be washed
using the 130° F (55°C) programs.
The risk of damage to the surface
of the glass, in the form of white
clouding, increases with higher
temperatures.
8 Delicate glasses should only be
washed using the ‘China &
Crystal" program
€ Because very high temperatures
can cause damage to your deli-
Cate crystal glasses, we recom-
mend you wash these by hand, if
your incoming water is above
