Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time please
note the following points:
Setting the water softener.
The water softener must be set to corre-
spond to the water hardness in your
area. This can be obtained from your
local water company, or by using a test
kit that can be purchased from the Miele
Parts Department (part no. 0014619).
The salt reservoir must only be filled
with water and salt. Never fill it with
detergent.
Adding rinse aid.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with liquid or powder deter-
gent will damage the reservoir.
Only use detergents and rinse aids for-
mulated for domestic dishwashers.
Add the correct amount of detergent.
Follow the recommendations on page
26 to determine how much detergent to
use. Not enough or too much detergent
can lead to poor wash results.
Overdosing, in combination with soft
water and high water temperatures,
can lead to cloudy glassware.
Cleaning results vary from brand to
brand. If you are not satisfied with the
results from one brand, try another
quality brand before contacting the
Miele Service Department for advice.
It is important to choose the correct
programme.
Different wash programmes should be
selected for different loads and differ-
ent degrees of soiling. See the pro-
gramme chart for further programme
descriptions.
When the dishwasher is run for the
first time, the selected programme
will not start for
approximately 7
minutes.
During these 7 minutes, the Water
softener reactivation programme is
run, and the
8
k indicator lamp
will be on.
Load the dishes correctly.
Load the dishes so that water can con-
tact all surfaces. Ensure that the spray
arms are not blocked by items which
are too tall for the basket or which ex-
tend through the bottom of the basket.
If necessary, manually rotate the spray
arms to test for clearance.
The combination filter in the base of
the wash cabinet and the spray arms
must be kept clean.
The spray arms and the filters should
be periodically checked and cleaned if
necessary.
See the corresponding chapters for de-
tailed information on the above points.
