Miele G 1173 Scvi Operating Instructions

							Dispensing
^Follow the dosage recommended by
the manufacturer 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
programme, as they 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 contain irritant or corrosive
ingredients which 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).

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

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
^Select the programme required with
the programme selector button;?.
The indicator light next to the selected
programme will come on.
^Close the door.
The programme will begin.
A programme can only be cancelled
in the first few minutes. Otherwise

stages (e.g. reactivating the water
softener) are not omitted.
Operation
33
 
						

							At the end of a programme
^Open the door slightly to check that
the programme has finished.
The indicator light next to the
programme selected switches off once
the programme has finished.
If the programme indicator light is
still on, the programme has not yet
finished. Close the door again to
allow the programme to finish.
You can then empty 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:
^Open the door.
^Switch the dishwasher off using the
Off buttonV.
The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until it is switched off with
the Off buttonV.
If the dishwasher is not going 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.
Operation
34
 
						

							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 seconds. 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

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:

Operation

							Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every4-6months). This
way faults and problems can be
avoided.
,The outer surfaces of the
dishwasher are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
outer surfaces.
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* or conditioner*.
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 residues 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.
Cleaning and care
38
 
						

							Cleaning the control panel and
door front
,Remove any soiling immediately.
If not, it might become impossible to
remove and could cause the outer
surface to alter or discolour.
^The control panel shouldonlybe
wiped with a damp cloth.
^Clean the front using a damp cloth or
a sponge and a solution of hot water
and washing-up liquid. Then dry with
a soft cloth.To avoid damaging the outer surface,
do not use:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
–cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
–solvent-based cleaning agents,
–stainless steel cleaning agents,
–dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
– sharp metal scrapers.
Cleaning and care

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