Display
The duration of the programme
selected appears in hours and minutes
in the display before the programme
begins. During the programme, the
time left until the end of the programme
is displayed.
The time displayed may vary with the
same programme. This is partly
because of the water inlet temperature
at each intake, and partly because of
the amount and soiling level of the
crockery.
When a programme is selected for the
first time, the display shows an average
time for a cold water intake.

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.

rates of electricity. A delay start time of
between 30 minutes and 24 hours can
be selected.
With a delay start time of between
30 minutes and 9 hours 30 minutes, the
time is set in 30 minute stages. For
10 hours or more it is set in one hour
stages.

make sure that the compartment is
dry before adding detergent. Wipe
dry with a cloth if necessary. If the
compartment is wet, powder...

The time starts counting down until the
programme start time: in 1 hour steps
for delay start periods of over 10 hours,
and in minutes for delay start periods of
under 10 hours.
At the end of the delay period, the
programme selected begins
automatically. The time left for a
programme to run then shows in the
display, the Delay start indicator light
goes out and the Start/Stop indicator

way faults and problems can be
avoided.
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).
