Operation

Detergent

,

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

Miele branded dishwasher cleaning products are available from the Miele

Spare Parts Department or via the

Internet at www.miele-shop.com.

Active ingredients

Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are:

– Phosphates to prevent calcification.

– Alkalis to aid removal of dried on soiling.

– Enzymes to break down starch and dissolve protein.

– Oxygen based bleaching agents to remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee, tomato sauce).

Most dishwasher detergents contain phosphates and are mildly alkaline with enzymes and oxygen based bleaching agents. Phosphate free products are rare.

Types of detergent:

– Powder and liquid gel detergents.

These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the size of load and level of soiling.

– Tab detergents. These are suitable for most levels of soiling.

A variety of combination products is also available (see section "Additional functions, Combi-tab", depending on model).

In addition to detergent, combi tabs contain rinse aid and salt substitutes.

Combi tabs are available as "3 in 1" or, when they also contain other components such as glass and stainless steel protective additives and enhanced cleaning power, as "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc.

Refer to the manufacturer's packaging as to whether the combi tabs are suitable for the water hardness level in your area.

Please note that the cleaning and drying results of tab detergents can vary greatly.

For optimum cleaning and drying results use Miele dishwasher detergent and add Miele salt and

Miele rinse aid separately.

Dispensing

^ Follow the dosage recommended on the packaging.

^ Unless directed otherwise, use one detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml detergent in compartment II, depending on the level of soiling.

With very heavy soiling you can also add a small amount of detergent to compartment l (see "Programme chart").

^ Do not use tabs with the "Quick wash" programme, as they will not dissolve properly.

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