This instruction book applies to several different dishwasher models.

The specific dishwasher models below are referred to as follows:

G 1020 / G 1040 = G 1XXX

G 2020 / G 2040 = G 2XXX

The model numbers G 1XXX and G 2XXX used in this book refer to the model designation specified on the data plate of the appliance (and not the description on the control panel).

The data plate is located at the top right hand side of the door.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference, and pass them on to any future user.

Correct usage

This dishwasher is intended exclusively for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery in a domestic household . Using it for purposes other than those for which it was designed, as well as any alterations or conversions to the appliance would be unauthorised and could cause harm.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.

Transport

Should you ever need to move the dishwasher, e.g. when moving house, note the following:

– Empty the dishwasher,

– Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses, mains cable, cutlery baskets, lower basket

– Transport the dishwasher in the upright position only.

Delivery

Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance.

A damaged appliance could be dangerous.

Please ensure that the packaging material is offered for recycling.

Installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with the installation plan.

The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.

(See "Electrical connection").

There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher.

Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.

In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.

7


The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as heaters etc.

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.

Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has been fully installed.

Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is regularly tested and where there is any doubt, the electrical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

A damaged appliance could be dangerous. Switch off at the mains and call your Miele supplier or the Miele

Service Department.

The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing must therefore not be dipped in water.

There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Never cut the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent! Dishwasher detergents can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

8


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.

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.

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.

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 dispensed.

Do not use liquid detergent when selecting Delay start, as it can run into the dishwasher before it is required.

Safety with children

This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow children to play in or around the dishwasher, or to operate it. There is also a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.

There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.

Consult a doctor immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent.

9


To avoid damage to the appliance and other materials

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.

This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.

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!

Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may damage material and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.

The Miele Waterproof System offers protection from water damage, provided the following conditions are met:

– The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.

– The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where it can be seen that this is necessary.

– The stopcock has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).

The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off. However, the appliance must remain connected to the electricity supply.

In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Repairs and maintenance

Repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent technicians in accordance with current local and national safety requirements.

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply for maintenance work (switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug).

If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a Miele cable by a Miele approved service technician only.

Disposal of your old appliance

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 by unscrewing the Torx screw, 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.

10

Caring for the environment

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, bags 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 and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. 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:

^ If your household water system is suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply, for further economies. If the water is heated by for example, solar panels, this would be energy efficient.

However, if your water is heated by electricity we would recommend connection to cold water.

^ 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.

^ Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on detergent dosage.

^ When using powder or liquid detergent you can use 1 /

3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.

11

Before using for the first time

To open the door Child safety lock

^ Press the release catch inside the door grip and pull forward.

If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted.

To close the door

^ Push the baskets right in.

^ Then lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position.

Use the child safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door.

^ To lock the door, push the slide underneath the door grip to the right.

^ To unlock the door, push the slide to the left.

Water softener

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 water softener.

– The water softener requires dishwasher salt.

– If you use "3 in 1" products in your dishwasher you should still add salt in order to achieve optimum results.

– The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness in your area.

– Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 6.7 - 9.0 mmol/l (37 -50 °d

- German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher value

(9.0 mmol/l in this example).

In the event of a fault, it will help the service technician if you know the hardness of your local water supply.

^ Enter the water hardness below:

The dishwasher is set at the factory for a hardness level of 2.2 -

2.7 mmol/l (12 - 15 °d ).

If this setting corresponds to the hardness of your water you do not need to do anything more.

If your water is harder or softer, you will need to programme the water hardness level. See following section.

mmol/l or °d

13


Programming the water hardness level

Each time a button is pressed one of the indicator lights will flash and light up in the control panel. However, only the indicator lights mentioned in the following programming process stages are significant.

The programming procedure can be cancelled at any time by pressing the

On/Off button s. The procedure can then be re-started from the beginning again.

The number of times the "Wash/Rinse" indicator flashes tells you which water hardness level has been set (see chart).

°d mmol/l °f Flashing

1 - 4 0.2 - 0.7

27 Once briefly

5 - 7 0.9 - 1.3

9- 13 Twice briefly

8 - 11 1.4 - 2.0

14- 20 3 times briefly

12 - 15 2.2 - 2.7


16 - 20 2.9 - 3.6


21 - 25 3.8 - 4.5


26 - 30 4.7 - 5.4


31 - 36 5.6 - 6.5


37 - 45 6.7 - 8.1


46 - 70 8.3 - 12.6

82-125 Once for longer

^ Switch the dishwasher off with the

On/Off button s.

^ Turn the programme selector to the

"12 o'clock" position.

^ Press the Start/Stop button in and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button s.

Keep the Start/Stop button pressed in for at least four seconds until the

"Start/Stop" indicator light comes on.

If this does not happen, start the procedure from the beginning again.



The "Wash/Rinse" programme sequence indicator will flash briefly four times at intervals (factory default setting).

^ Use the Start/Stop button to select the number of flashes which equates to your water hardness level.

Each press of the button moves you up a level. When the highest water hardness level is reached, the setting starts from the beginning again.

Example:

If your water hardness level is

4.0 mmol/l (22 °d), the Wash/Rinse indicator should flash briefly six times at intervals.

Before using the appliance for the first time you require:

– approx. 2 litres of water,

– approx. 2 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 previously used.

The water softener requires dishwasher salt. If you use "3 in 1" tabs in your dishwasher you should still add salt in order to achieve optimum results.

Important: Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time , you must fill it with approx. 2 litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the reservoir.

Filling the salt reservoir

If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than

0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need to add dishwasher salt.

The water softener must, however, still be programmed to correspond to the water hardness level in your area. (The salt indicator light will still come on, but should be ignored).

,

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.

16

^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Only open the salt reservoir when you want to fill it with dishwasher salt as water or salt solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed.

^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use only).


Salt indicator

^ Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt depending on the brand used.

As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced water will overflow.

^ Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly .

^ Run the "Quick wash" programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.

^ Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt when the salt indicator light comes on. (If it comes on during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).

After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is run. The salt indicator light may still be illuminated during this process. It will go out once the salt concentration has reached the correct level.

,

After filling the salt reservoir, run the "Quick wash" programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed.

Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.

,

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent always causes serious damage to the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.

Alternatively, it is possible to use

– Household vinegar with a max. 5% acid content or

– Liquid citric acid up to 50% acid content.

The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.

,

Do not use vinegar with a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar essence

25% acid). This would damage the dishwasher.

Adding rinse aid

^ Press the button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

If you only ever use "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" products in your dishwasher you do not need to add rinse aid.

18


Rinse aid indicator

When the light comes on the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only.

^ Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.

110 ml.

^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water would enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme.

^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.

^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

19


Setting the rinse aid dosage

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results.

The rinse aid dosage can be set from approx. 0-6 ml. It is set to a recommended setting of approx. 3 ml at the factory.

If spots appear on crockery and glassware:

^ Increase the rinse aid dosage.

If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and glassware:

^ Decrease the rinse aid dosage.



The "Wash/Rinse" programme sequence indicator will flash briefly three times at intervals.

This means that approx. 3 ml of rinse aid will be used per programme

(factory default setting).

The number of times the "Wash/Rinse" indicator flashes tells you the rinse aid dosage which has been set (see chart).

Loading the dishwasher

Note

Remove coarse food residues from crockery.

There is no need to rinse items under running water.

,

Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and is distributed in the wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating grease and paint cause damage to the dishwasher.

Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed:

– Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be concealed.

– Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that it is properly cleaned.

– Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

– Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.

– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.

champagne glasses, should be placed in the centre of the basket to ensure better water coverage.

– Deep based items should be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely.

– The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets.

If in doubt, test for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms.

– Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the baskets. Small items, e.g. lids, should therefore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket

(depending on model).

Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolour if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the appliance on the crockery. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration.

21


Items not suitable for dishwashers:

– Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher.

– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers.

– Plastic items which are not heat resistant. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.

– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items may discolour or become matt.

– Colours painted over a glaze may fade after a number of washes.

– Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing. Do not wash delicate glassware, or glassware containing lead crystal in a dishwasher.

We recommend:

– When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-proof.

– If delicate glassware is washed in the dishwasher ensure that only very low temperatures are used (see programme chart), or a special glass-care programme is used

(depending on model). This will reduce the risk of clouding.

– Wash particularly delicate glassware by hand.

Please note

Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or spotted at the end of a programme, where water has not run off smoothly. It may need rubbing dry with a soft cloth.

Silver which has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolour.

These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine and marinades.

,

Aluminium components (e.g.

grease filters) must not be cleaned with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial cleaning agents. These may damage the material, or in extreme cases, cause a severe chemical reaction. See section

"Adding detergent" for information on suitable detergents.

22

Upper basket

,

For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place.


Hinged cup rack

^ To make room for tall items raise the rack upwards.

Positioning rail (depending on model)

Glasses can be arranged along the positioning rail to give them some support during the programme.

^ Use the upper basket for small, lightweight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.

^ Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.

^ Raise the rail, and lean the glasses against it.

The positioning rail can be flipped over to the middle of the basket for easy sorting and removing of crockery.

23


Adjusting the upper basket

In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the bottom or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on three levels with 2 cm between each level.

The upper basket can also be set at an angle with one side high and the other side low. Ensure however, that the basket can slide smoothly into the cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket before loading it.

^ Pull out the upper basket.

Depending on the setting of the upper basket, the following plate dimensions can be accommodated.

For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc.

Small items such as saucers can also be placed in the lower basket.

Do not place thin, delicate glassware in the lower basket.

Hinged spiked insert

Both sides of the rear section of the spiked insert can be lowered to make more room for large items, e.g. pots, pans and dishes.

Dishwashers with cutlery tray

^ Raise and then fold down one side of the spiked insert and then do the same to the other side.

Dishwashers with cutlery basket

25


Bottle holder (depending on model)

The bottle holder can be used to wash narrow items, e.g. milk and baby bottles.

It can be inserted into the bottom basket in more than one place. See the areas marked in white in the illustration.

However, do not place a bottle holder in the corners. Water will not be able to access the bottles properly, and they will not get properly clean.

26

Cutlery

Cutlery tray (depending on model)


^ Arrange the cutlery in the tray as shown.

To make unloading much easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc.

Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.

The upper spray arm must not be blocked by items which are too big

(e.g. cake slices).

The cutlery tray insert is removable.

If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, then place them the other way round.

27


Cutlery basket (depending on model)

^ To avoid the risk of injury, knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket.

However, cutlery placed handle down in the basket will come out cleaner and drier.

^ Place small spoons in the individual slots to either side of the cutlery basket.

Cutlery insert for the cutlery basket

Use the insert supplied for heavily soiled spoons.

The insert separates the items so that they can be more easily accessed by water.

^ Fit it into the cutlery basket if required.

^ Insert cutlery with the handles facing downwards, and distribute them evenly along the insert.

28

Operation

Detergent

,

Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing up liquid.

^ You can use conventional powder detergent, tablets or liquid dishwasher detergent.

Refer to the dosing instructions given by the manufacturer on the packaging.

^ Put the detergent into the dispenser compartment.

^ Do not use tablet detergent on the

"Quick" programme, as the tablets will not dissolve properly.

Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.

,

Avoid inhalation of powder detergents and do not ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

Keep detergent and other household agents out of the reach of children at all times. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. To avoid the danger of children coming into contact with the dishwasher detergent, only add detergent just before starting the programme and close the door, activating the child safety lock (if your dishwasher is fitted with one).

29

Operation

Adding detergent

For information

Compartment I holds max. 10 ml,

Compartment II holds max. 50 ml.

There are markings in compartment II to assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or

30 ml when the door is open in a horizontal position.

^ Press the opening catch on the detergent dispenser. The flap will spring open.

The flap is always open at the end of a programme.

^ Add the required amount of detergent and close the flap.

^ Make sure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use to avoid it getting damp and becoming lumpy.

30

Operation

Switching on

^ Make sure the spray arms are not obstructed.

^ Close the door.

^ Open the stopcock, if it is closed.

^ Switch the dishwasher on with the

On/Off button s.

The End indicator light comes on if the programme selector is not pointing at a programme.

Selecting a programme

Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is.

The different programmes and their uses are described in the programme chart later on in this booklet.

Starting a programme

^ Turn the programme selector clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required programme.

The Start/Stop indicator light will flash.

^ Press the Start/Stop button.

The programme cycle will begin. The

Start/Stop and Wash/Rinse indicator lights will come on.

A programme can only be cancelled in the first few minutes. Otherwise the programme must continue to the end so that important programme stages (e. g. reactivating the water softener) are not omitted.

Programme sequence indicators

After a programme has been started the current stage of the programme is indicated by the programme sequence indicator lights.

31

Operation

At the end of a programme

The End indicator light will come on at the end of the programme.

The dishwasher can now be opened and unloaded (see “Unloading the dishwasher”).

,

To prevent the risk of steam damage to the worktop edging above the dishwasher it is advisable to leave the door closed until you are ready to unload the crockery.

Alternatively you can open the door fully until the crockery is cool enough to unload. Do not leave the door only partially open.

Switching off

At the end of a programme:


On/Off button s.

The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until the On/Off button s is switched off.

If the dishwasher is not to be used for a longer period of time, e. g. whilst on holiday, the stopcock should be turned off.

Unloading the dishwasher

Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot.

Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.

If you open the door fully after switching off, the dishes will cool much faster.

^ First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket and cutlery tray

(depending on model).

This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and cutlery tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

32

Operation

Interrupting a programme

A programme is interrupted as soon as the door is opened.

If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened.

,

Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding!

Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 secs. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle. Then close the door firmly making sure that it clicks into place.

Changing a programme

Important:

If the detergent dispenser flap has already opened, do not change the programme.

If a programme has already started and you wish to change it, proceed as follows:

^ Press the Start/Stop button for at least one second.

The programme will be cancelled. The

Start/Stop indicator light will flash.

^ Turn the selector to the programme you want and then start it.

33

34

Cleaning and care

Check your dishwasher regularly

(approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided.

Cleaning the door front

,

Do not use any cleaning agents containing ammonia or thinners.

These would damage the surface structure.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.

If, however, there are limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner, such as the Miele dishwasher cleaner (available from the

Miele UK Spare Parts Department).

Cleaning the door and the door seal

^ Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits.

^ When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residue may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door.

These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any soiling should be wiped off these surfaces before the door is closed.

^ Clean the front using a Miele E-cloth or with suitable cleaning agent for the type of material the front is made of.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

^ Door fronts made from wood should only be cleaned using a damp cloth, and then dried with a soft cloth.

^ Door fronts made of stainless steel should be cleaned using a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid, or a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.

^ To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel, such as Neoblank

(available from the Miele UK Spare

Parts Department) can also be used.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label and apply sparingly with an even pressure following the direction of the grain.

E-Cloth

^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts

Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals.

35


Cleaning the control panel

,

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, glass cleaning agents or all-purpose cleaners. Because of their chemical composition they could cause serious damage to surfaces.

Plastic panels:

^ This type of control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth or suitable cleaning agent designed for use on plastic.

Stainless steel panels:

^ Control panels made of stainless steel should be cleaned using a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid, or a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel (do not use it on the controls).

^ To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel, such as Neoblank

(available from the Miele UK Spare

Parts Department) can also be used.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label and apply sparingly with an even pressure following the direction of the grain.

Aluminium panels:

^ Clean aluminium panels with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.

Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from.

,

Stainless steel and aluminium surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratching and abrasion, and must be treated with due care. They may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long.

Remove soiling immediately.

36


Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet

The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it accessing the circulation system and re-entering the cabinet through the spray arms.

,

The dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place.

Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.

Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary.

^ Switch the dishwasher off.

^ Turn the handle anti-clockwise to release the filter combination a.

^ Lift the filter combination out of the dishwasher b. Remove any coarse particles and rinse the filter well under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.

37


To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened:

^ Press together the catches in the direction of the arrows a as shown, and open the filter b.

^ Rinse all the filters under running water.

^ Then close the flap so that the catch engages.

^ Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

^ Then turn the handle clockwise to lock the filter combination in place.

,

Take care when you are fitting the filter combination that it is secured in position correctly.

Otherwise coarse soil could get into the circulation system and cause a blockage.

38


Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every

4 - 6 months).

^ Switch the dishwasher off.

Remove the spray arms as follows:

^ Take out the cutlery tray (if your dishwasher is fitted with one).

^ Push the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.

^ Remove the lower basket.

^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove it.

^ Push the middle spray arm upwards a to engage the ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm b.

^ Use a pointed object to push food particles into the spray arm jets.

^ Rinse thoroughly under running water.

^ Replace the spray arms and check that they rotate freely.

47

Problem solving

Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw connection of the valve on the water inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned when dirty, otherwise insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet.

,

The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. It must not be dipped in water.

Recommendation

If the mains water contains a large number of insoluble substances, we recommend fitting a large-area filter in the connection between the stopcock and the water inlet hose threaded union. This filter is available from the

Miele Spares Parts dept.

Cleaning the filter:

^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug.

^ Turn off the stopcock.

^ Unscrew the inlet hose.

^ Carefully remove the seal.

^ Withdraw the filter using pointed pliers and rinse clean under running water.

^ Replace the filter and seal, making sure they are sitting correctly.

^ Reconnect the inlet hose to the stopcock, making sure it goes on correctly and is not cross-threaded.

^ Turn on the stopcock gradually to test for leaks. If there is a leak, the inlet hose might not be on securely, or it may have been screwed on at an angle. Unscrew and reconnect the water inlet valve correctly.

48

Problem solving

Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve

If the water has not been pumped away at the end of a programme the drain pump or the non-return valve might be blocked. They are, however, easy to clean. Watch out for glass or bone splinters which could cause injury.

^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug.

^ Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and care", "Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet").

^ Scoop the water out of the cabinet using a suitable container or utensil.

The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow).

^ Remove all foreign objects from the drain pump (watch out for glass or bone splinters which are particularly difficult to detect and could cause injury). Turn the drain pump impeller by hand to check that there are no more obstructions. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.

^ Carefully replace the non-return valve, and secure it with the catch.

,

Ensure that the catch engages.

^ Press the catch for the non-return valve inwards a.

^ Lift out the non-return valve b and rinse well under running water.

^ Remove all foreign objects from the non-return valve.

Electrical connection

Electrical connection U.K.

,

All electrical work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in accordance with current local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out.

The appliance is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a 230-240V mains supply. Please ensure the connection data quoted on the data plate match the household mains supply.

Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation.

For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA (in accordance with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section

739).

Do not connect via an extension lead.

Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g.

danger of overheating).

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of plug fitted).

Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuses and fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier.

Connection to the water supply

,

Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water.

– The dishwasher may be connected to a cold or hot water supply, max.

60 °C. We would only recommend connection to a hot water supply if it is economical, e.g. a solar powered supply. When connected to a hot water supply all programme stages which would otherwise be carried out with cold water will be carried out with hot water.

– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.

A 1.5 metre long flexible metal extension hose, pressure tested to

14000 kPa/ 140 bar, is available as an optional accessory if required.

– A stopcock with a 3/4 " male thread must be provided on site.

– This appliance is constructed to comply with IEC/EN/DIN 61770 //

VDE 0700 Section 600, and may be connected to a suitable supply without an extra non-return valve if national regulations permit.

– The water pressure (flow pressure at the take-off point) must be between

30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar).

If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted.

!

The inlet hose must not be shortened or damaged in any way as it contains electrical components

(see illustration).

Plumbing

Drainage

– The appliance drainage system is fitted with a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose.

– The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm.

– The drain hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose.

The drainage length must not be longer than 4 m, and the delivery head must not exceed 1 m.

– If the hose is to be directly fitted to the drainage outlet on site, use the hose clip supplied.

– The hose can be directed to the left or the right of the appliance.

– The on-site connector for the drain hose can be adapted to different widths of hose. If the connector protrudes too far into the drain hose, it will need to be shortened.

Otherwise the drain hose may become blocked.

– The drain hose must not be shortened.

– Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose, and that it is not squashed or stretched.

Venting the drainage system

If the on-site drain connection is situated lower than the guide path for the bottom basket rollers in the open door the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the appliance to empty itself of water.

To vent it:

^ Open the dishwasher door fully.

^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove it.

^ Cut off the top of the vent valve in the wash cabinet.
