Before using for the first time 21Displaying and setting the water har dness level Switch the dishwasher off with the butt on if it is switched on. P ress the Start button in and, whilst holding it in, switch the dishwasher on using the button. Keep the Start button pressed in for at least four seconds until the Start indicat or light comes on. If this does not happen, start the proce‐ dur e from the beginning again. P ress the Delay start button twice. The indica tor light will flash rapidly twice at intervals. The value which has been set for the wat er hardness is shown as a figure af‐ ter in the display (see chart). will star t flashing in the display. This is the factory default setting of 0.2 mmol/l (1 °d - German scale). Use the Start butt on to select the val‐ ue which equates to your water hard‐ ness level. Each press of the button moves you up a level. When the highest water hardness level is reached, the setting starts from the beginning again. The setting is now stored in memory. Switch the dishwasher off with the butt on.

Before using for the first time 23Before using the appliance for the first tim e, you require:– approx. 1 litre of water, – approx. 1 kg of dishwasher salt, – domestic dishwasher detergent, – Rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Every dishwasher is tested at the fac‐ t ory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an in‐ dication that it has been used previ‐ ously. Dishwasher salt In order to achieve good cleaning re‐ sults, the d ishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in a build-up of calcium deposits on crock‐ ery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level high‐ er than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener in the dishwasher is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70 °d - German scale). The water softener requires dishwasher salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - German scale), dishwasher salt is not required if combi‐ nation tablets are being used (see "Op‐ eration - Detergent"). If the water hardness in your area is constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °d), you do not need t o add dish‐ washer salt. The prompt to add dish‐ washer salt will be switched off auto‐ matically. The water softener must, however, still be programmed to cor‐ respond to the water hardness level in your area. Dishwasher det ergent will dam‐ age the water softener. Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid det ergent. O nly use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, as other salts (e.g. cooking salt, agri‐ cul tural grade or gritting salt) may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the wa‐ ter softener.
Before using for the first time 24Filling the salt reservoir Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 1 litre of wa‐ ter to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used, ther e is always sufficient water in the reservoir. Remo ve the lower basket and un‐ screw the salt reservoir cap. Water or saline solution will run out of the r eservoir when the cap is re‐ moved. It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir. Fi ll the reservoir with approx. 1 litre of water (first use only). Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with dishwasher salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 1 kg of salt depending on the brand used. Cle an any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly. Immediat ely after filling the salt reser‐ voir, run the Quick wash pr ogramme with the Short pr ogramme option se‐ lected and without any crockery in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
Before using for the first time 25Salt indicator Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt when the Salt indica tor light comes on (If it comes on during a programme, wait until the end of the programme). Risk of corr osion! Immediately after filling the salt res‐ ervoir, run the Quick wash p ro‐ gramme with the Short pr ogramme option selected and without any crockery in the dishwasher to re‐ move any traces of salt from the cabinet. After the salt reservoir has been filled, the r efill indicator may still be lit up if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. It will go out when the correct concentration is reached. The refill indicator will be switched off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 0.9 mmol/l (5 °d - German scale). If you only ever use multi-function combina tion products in your dish‐ washer, you can switch off both refill reminders for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see "Programme options - Switching off the refill indicators"). If you switch to using detergent that does not contain salt or rinse aid, it is impor tant to remember to add dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to switch the refill indicators back on.
Before using for the first time 26Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on cr ockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage res‐ ervoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. I nadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid deter‐ gent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domes‐ tic dishwashers into the reservoir. Alternatively, it is possible to use – household vinegar with a max. 5% aci d content or – liquid citric acid up to 10% acid con‐ t ent The resulting rinsing and drying quality will no t, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used. Do not use vinegar with a higher a cid content (e.g. vinegar essence 25% acid). This would damage the dishwasher. If you only ever use combination pr oducts containing rinse aid in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid. Adding rinse aid P ress the button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
Before using for the first time 27 Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 110 ml. Close the flap firmly so that it clicks int o place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a pro‐ gramme. W ipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring dur‐ ing the next programme. Add rinse aid reminder When the Rinse aid indicat or light comes on, the reservoir contains suffi‐ cient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes on‐ ly. Add rinse aid in plenty of time. If you only ever use multi-function combina tion products in your dish‐ washer, you can switch off both refill reminders for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see "Programme options - Switching off the refill indicators"). If you switch to using detergent that does not contain salt or rinse aid, it is impor tant to remember to add dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to switch the reminders back on.
Before using for the first time 28Setting the rinse aid dosage You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best r esults. The rinse aid dosage is set in stages fr om 0 to 6. It is set to 3 at the factory. This is the recommended setting. If the "Adjust Sensor wash" programme function (depending on model) has been activat ed, the amount of rinse aid dispensed in the Sensor wash p ro‐ gramme can be higher than that set. If spots appear on crockery and glass‐ war e: Incr ease the rinse aid dosage. If clouding or smearing appears on cr ockery and glassware: Decr ease the rinse aid dosage. Switch the dishwasher off with the butt on, if it is switched on. P ress the Start button in and, whilst holding it in, switch the dishwasher on using the button. Keep the Start button pressed in for at least 4 seconds until the Start indi‐ cat or light comes on. If this does not happen, start the proce‐ dur e from the beginning again. P ress the button 3 times. The indica tor will flash rapidly 3 times at intervals. The dosage set will appear in the dis‐ play aft er . The flashing sequence will appear in the display. This indicates the factory default setting 3. Use the Start butt on to select the set‐ ting required. Each press of the button moves you up a level. After reaching the highest value, the counter starts from the be‐ ginning again. The setting is now stored in memory. Switch the dishwasher off with the butt on.
Loading the dishwasher 29Notes Remove coarse food residues from cr ockery. There is no need to rinse items under runni ng water. Do not wash it ems soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and is distributed in the wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating grease and paint cause damage to the dishwasher. Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the bask ets, but the following notes should be observed: – Do not place crockery and cutlery in‐ side other piece s where they may be concealed. – Load the crockery so that water can acce ss all surfaces. This ensures that they get properly cleaned. – Make sure that all items are securely positioned. – Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must b e inverted in the basket. – Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g. cham‐ pagne glasses, should be placed in the cen tre of the basket to ensure better water coverage. – Wide based items should be placed at an ang le so that water can run off them freely. – The spray arms must not be blocked by it ems which are too tall or hang through the baskets. If in doubt, test for free movement by manually rotat‐ ing the spray arms. – Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the bas‐ kets. Small items, e.g. lids, should there‐ fore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model). Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carr ots, tomatoes or toma‐ to sauce. Plastic items in the dish‐ washer may discolour if large quanti‐ ties of these foodstuffs find their way into the dishwasher on the crockery. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration. Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish‐ washer may also cause plastic items to discolour.
Loading the dishwasher 30Items not suitable for dishwashers: – Wooden cutlery and crockery or it ems with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dish‐ washer. – Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decor ative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers. – Plastic items which are not heat-re‐ sistan t: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape. – Copper, brass, tin and aluminium it ems may discolour or become matt. – Colours painted over a glaze may fade aft er a number of washes.– Delicate glassware and glassware con taining lead crystal: clouding may occur over time. Please note Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or spot‐ ted at the end of a programme, where water has not run off smoothly. It may need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth. Silver which has been in contact with foods contai ning sulphur can discolour. These include egg yolk, onions, mayon‐ naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine and marinades. Aluminium components (e.g. r angehood grease filters) must not be cleaned with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial cleaning agents. These may damage the material, or in extreme cases, there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction). Useful tip: When pur chasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-proof. Glass care – Clouding may occur on glasses after fr equent washing. If delicate glass‐ ware is washed in the dishwasher, ensure that only very low tempera‐ tures are used (see programme chart), or a special glass-care pro‐ gramme is used (depending on mod‐ el). This will reduce the risk of cloud‐ ing. – Purchase glassware which is dish‐ washer -safe (e.g. Riedel glassware). – Use detergents with glass protective additives (e.g. Miele C areCollection tabs). – Visit "http://www.mieleglass‐ car e.com/international/en/glasscare/ english" for more information on glass care.
