Miele G 1872 Operating Instructions

							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 inserts are removable.
For example, you can remove one
insert to make room for larger items of
crockery in the upper basket.If spoon handles do not fit between the
holders, then lay them the other way
round.

							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.

							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 with the
Quick programme, as the tablets
will not dissolve properly.
Failure to dispense the
recommended amount of detergent
may impair cleaning results.
In the UK, Miele branded dishwasher
powder and tabs are available from
the Miele Spare Parts Department or
via the internet on www.miele.co.uk.
,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 immedi
-
ately 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).

wash programme, the Turbo function
operates a cycle without heat to rinse
crockery if a complete programme is
not yet needed.
Pre-wash:
–
For rinsing crockery to avoid smells if
a complete cycle is not yet needed.Soak:

residues from pots, pans and
casserole dishes.

							Starting a programme
^Select theStartoption.
The message
Please close the door
will appear.
If you want to select a different
programme or make other changes,
select the
Backmenu option and
cancel the programme with the
Cancel
function.
^Close the door.
The In-operation indicator light comes
on to show that a programme has been
started.
The programme will begin. If you open
the door
Crockery can be addedwill
appear in the display.
As long as this prompt is showing,
crockery can be added without
compromising the wash results.
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.
Time display
The duration of the programme
selected appears in hours and minutes
in the Time 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 temperature at
each intake, and partly because of the
amount of crockery and how dirty it is.
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.
Operation

							At the end of a programme
At the end of a programme the
In-operation indicator light flashes on
and off slowly. It is visible even with the
door closed.
It will stop flashing one hour after the
programme has finished.
If the message
Programme finishedor
Drying pluscomes up in the display,
and the door has opened slightly, this
indicates that the programme has
finished.
You can now empty the dishwasher.
,If you have deselected the auto-
matic door opening function (see
Settings menu, Drying plus), but
would still like to open the door at
the end of the programme, then
make sure that you open the door
fully. Otherwise steam from the
dishwasher could damage the edge
of the worktop because the fan is no
longer running.
Switching off
At the end of a programme:
^
Open the door.
^
Switch the dishwasher off using the
Off buttono.
The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until it is switched off with
the Off buttono.
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 finally the 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.
When 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.

							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 15 minutes and 24 hours can be selected. The delay
start time is set in 15 minute steps.
,When using the Delay start function, make sure that
the detergent 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.
^Open the door.
^Switch the dishwasher on using the On buttong.
The On indicator lightgcomes on.
