Miele G 4570 Operating Instructions

							Water softener
To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs soft water (water that
is low in minerals). Hard water results in
calcium deposits on dishware and in
the dishwasher.
If your tap water hardness is above 4 °d
(4 gr/gal) the water should be softened.
The built-in water softener is designed
for this purpose. The water softener is
suitable for a water hardness up to
70 °d (73 gr/gal).
–The water softener requires
dishwasher salt.
If using Tab products which include
salt, you should still add salt to the
machine to achieve optimal cleaning
results.
– The dishwasher must be correctly
programmed to match the hardness
of your water.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the exact water
hardness level in your area.
If the hardness of your local supply
is constantly lower than 4 °d (4 gr/gal),
you donot need to add water
softener salt.However the water
hardness level must still be
programmed.In areas where the water hardness
fluctuates (e.g. 37-50 °d [39-52 gr/gal])
always program the machine to the
higher value (in this example 50 °d
[52 gr/gal]).
If there is a fault, it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
local water supply.
Please note your water hardness
below:
°d(gr/gal)
The water hardness was programmed
at 1-4 °d (1-4 gr/gal) by factory default.

							Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water
remaining in the machine is from the
final factory test and does not
indicate that the machine has been
used.
Filling the salt container
Inadvertently filling the salt
container with dishwashing
detergent (including liquid
detergent) will damage the water
softener.
Only use water softener salt
specially formulated for
dishwashers. Other salts may
contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
If using Tab products which
include salt, still add salt to the
machine to achieve optimal cleaning
results and ensure long-term
functioning of the water softener.

Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
container lid.
When opening the salt container,
water will run out. Open the
container only to refill salt.
Important:The salt container must
be filled with 1 quart (1 l) of water
before adding salt for the first time
so the salt can dissolve
properly. Water does not have to be
added with subsequent refills.
Place the provided funnel over the
salt container and carefully fill it with
salt. The salt container holds approx.
2.2 lbs (1 kg) of salt, depending on
the type of salt.

Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the container opening.
Screw the lid onfirmly.

Immediately after each refill, run the 
Express program without a load.
This will remove any traces of salt
from inside the wash cabinet.

has finished.
After the container has been filled, the
Salt indicator light can remain on for a
short time. It will go out once the
reactivation process is complete.
The Salt indicator light is turned off if
you have programmed the dishwasher
to a water hardness below 4 °d
(4 gr/gal)).
Immediately after each refill, run
the Express program without a
load. This will remove any traces of
salt from inside the wash cabinet.

							Rinse aid
Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on
dishes and glassware.
The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir
and the set amount will be
automatically dosed.

residential dishwashers into the
reservoir.
When using Tab detergents rinse
aid is not needed.
Adding rinse aid

the arrow until the flap springs open.Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir
until it is visible on the surface of the

3.7 oz (110 ml).
Press on the flap until you hear it
click shut. Failure to close it all the
way allows water to enter the
reservoir during the wash program.
Clean any spilled rinse aid. The flap
will remain closed during normal
operation.
Rinse aid indicator

on, there will be enough rinse aid left
for2-3washes.

The rinse aid indicator on the control

							Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in
the dishwasher.
Ash and sand do not dissolve and
will be distributed throughout the
inside of the dishwasher.
Wax, grease and paint will cause
permanent discoloration and
damage to the dishwasher.
Scrape food from dishes before
placing them in the dishwasher,
rinsing is not necessary.
Some foods contain natural dyes,
e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items
may discolor permanently if they
come in contact with food dyes.
All items can be placed anywhere in
the baskets.
Load dishes so that water can reach
all surfaces. Do not place dishes or
cutlery inside other pieces.

Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.

Hollow items such as cups and
glasses should be placed upside
down in the baskets.

To ensure good water coverage, tall,
narrow and hollow items, i.e. vases
or champagne glasses, should be
placed in the center of the basket
rather than in the corners.

Concave based items such as mugs
or bowls, should be placed at an
angle so that water does not pool.The spray arms must not be blocked
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets. Check
clearance by manually rotating the
spray arms.
Place very small items in the cutlery
tray or basket so they do not fall to
the bottom of the wash cabinet.
Food residue and spilled liquids
should be cleaned from the sides of
the dishwasher door. These are
outside of the wash cabinet and are
not cleaned by water from the spray
arms.

If left to dry, foods containing sulfur
can discolor silver. These include
egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,
mustard, fish and marinades.
