The different programmes and their
uses are described in the programme
chart later on in this booklet.
Starting a programme
^Select the programme required using

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.

							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.
The times shown in the programme
chart refer to standard test loads and
temperatures.
Each time a programme is run, the
electronic unit takes the new conditions
into account, and calculates the time
required.
Programme sequence
indicators
After a programme has been started,
the current stage of the programme is
indicated by the programme sequence
indicator lights.
At the end of a programme
A programme has finished when a 0
appears in the display and the End
programme sequence indicator lights
up.
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:
^Switch the dishwasher off with the
On/Off buttons.
The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until the On/Off buttons
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.
Operation
32
 
						

							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.
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
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.
^
Select the programme you want and
then start it.

selected. Depending on the
programme, the duration can be
considerably longer.
"2 in 1":
When the 2 in 1 function is selected,
the programme sequence is adjusted
for 2 in 1 tabs (detergent containing

Operation

							Delay start
The start time of a programme can be
delayed, e.g. to benefit from economy
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.
When using the Delay start function,
make sure that the compartment is
dry before adding detergent. Wipe
dry with a cloth if necessary. If the
compartment is wet, powder
detergent can become lumpy and
stick to the dispenser, with the result
that it is not fully dispensed.
Do not use liquid detergent when
selecting Delay start, as it can run
into the dishwasher before it is
required.^Switch the dishwasher on with the
On/Off buttons.
The Start/Stop indicator light will flash.
^Select the programme required using
the programme selector button.
^Press the Delay start button.
The last Delay start time used will
appear in the display. The Delay Start
indicator light comes on.
^Set the time required using the Delay
start button.
^Press the Start/Stop button.
The Start/Stop indicator light will come
on.

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
light comes on.
How the Delay start time is shown in
the display:
up to 59 minutes:
e.g. 30 minutes =30
between 1 hour and 9 hours 30
minutes:
e.g. 5 hours =5.00
10 hours and over:
e.g. 15 hours =15^

Operation

							Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every 4 - 6 months). This
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).
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.
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.
Cleaning the door front
,Do not use any cleaning agents
containing ammonia or thinners.
These would damage the surface
structure.
^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 manufacturers
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 manufacturers instructions
on the label and apply sparingly with
an even pressure following the
direction of the grain.
Cleaning and care

							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 manufacturers 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.
