    							Cutlery
    3D 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 side sections of the tray can be
    moved into the middle to accommodate
    tall items of crockery in the upper
    basket.If spoon handles do not fit between the
    holders, then lay them the other way
    round.
    You can use the yellow slide to adjust
    the height of the middle section of the
    cutlery tray to make more room for
    large items of cutlery, such as serving
    spoons and ladles.

    							Cutlery basket(depending on model)
    The cutlery basket can be placed
    anywhere on the front rows of spikes in
    the lower basket.
    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 items of cutlery in the
    individual slots on three sides of the
    cutlery basket.
    Cutlery insert for the cutlery basket
    Use the insert supplied for heavily
    soiled items of cutlery.
    The insert separates the items so that
    they can be more easily accessed by
    water.Fit it onto the cutlery basket if
    required.
    
    Insert cutlery with the handles facing
    downwards, and distribute them
    evenly along the insert.
    Loading the dishwasher
    42
     
    						
    							Detergent
    Only use detergents formulated
    for domestic dishwashers. Do not
    use washing-up liquid.
    Active ingredients
    Modern detergents contain various
    active ingredients, the most important
    of which are:
    –Phosphates to prevent calcification.
    –Alkalis to aid removal of dried on
    soiling.
    – Enzymes to break down starch and
    loosen protein.
    – Oxygen based bleaching agents to
    remove coloured stains (e.g. tea,
    coffee, tomato sauce).
    Most dishwasher detergents contain
    phosphates and are mildly alkaline with
    enzymes and oxygen based bleaching
    agents. Phosphate free products are
    rare.
    Types of detergent:
    –
    Powder and liquid gel detergents.
    These detergents allow you to adjust
    the amount dispensed according to
    the amount of load and level of
    soiling.
    –
    Tab detergents. These are suitable
    for most levels of soiling.You can also buy combination
    products. In addition to detergent,
    these products contain rinse aid and
    salt substitutes. They are available as
    "3 in 1" or when they also contain other
    components such as glass and
    stainless steel protective additives and
    enhanced cleaning power, as "5 in 1",
    "7 in 1" , "All in 1", etc.
    Refer to the manufacturer's packaging
    as to whether combination products are
    suitable for the water hardness level in
    your area.
    Please note that the cleaning and
    drying results of combination
    detergents can vary greatly.
    For optimum cleaning and drying
    results, use Miele dishwasher
    detergent and add Miele salt and
    Miele rinse aid separately. See
    "Optional accessories".
    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 to 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").
    
    Tabs may not dissolve completely
    when the Quick wash 40°C
    programme is used.
    Failure to dispense the
    recommended amount of detergent
    may impair cleaning results.
    Operation
    43
     
    						
    							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).
    Adding detergent
    
    Press the opening catch on the
    detergent dispenser. The flap will
    spring open.The flap is always open at the end of a
    programme.
    Add the required amount of
    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
    Compartment I holds max. 10 ml,
    Compartment II holds max. 50 ml.
    There are markings in compartment II
    to assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The
    marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or
    30 ml when the door is open in a
    horizontal position.

    							Starting the programme
    Select theStartoption.
    The message
    Please close the door
    will appear.
    If you want to select a different
    programme or make other changes,
    select
    Backand cancel the programme
    with the
    Cancelfunction.
    Start the programme by closing the
    door.
    The In-operation indicator light comes
    on to show that a programme has been
    started.
    If you open the door
    Add-an-itemmay
    appear in the display.
    As long as this prompt is showing,
    crockery can be added without
    compromising the wash results.
    Water in the dishwasher may be
    hot. Danger of scalding.
    Only open the door if absolutely
    necessary and exercise extreme
    caution when doing so.
    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 can be due,
    among other factors, to the water
    temperature at each intake, the
    reactivation process, the type of
    detergent, 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
    47
     
    						
    							Standby
    To save energy, the dishwasher will
    switch off a few minutes after the last
    time a button has been pressed or a
    few minutes after the end of the
    programme.
    Press thebutton to switch the
    dishwasher back on again.
    You can deactivate Standby, if wished
    (see "Settings menu, Optimise
    standby"). If Optimise standby is
    deactivated, the dishwasher will not
    switch off until 6 hours after the end of
    the programme, resulting in higher
    energy consumption.
    The dishwasher will not switch off if
    salt or rinse aid needs to be
    replenished or there is a fault.
    If you only use combination
    products containing salt and rinse
    aid in your dishwasher, you can
    switch off the reminders to replenish
    salt and rinse aid so that the
    dishwasher will switch off despite a
    lack of salt or rinse aid (see
    "Settings menu
    , Refill display").
    You cannot switch off fault
    messages.
    At the end of the 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
    AutoOpenappears in the display, and
    the door has opened slightly, this
    indicates that the programme has
    finished.
    The drying fan will continue to run
    for a few minutes at the end of the
    Quick wash programme.
    You can now empty the dishwasher.
    If you have deactivated the auto-
    matic door opening function (see
    "Settings menu
    , AutoOpen"), 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.
    Operation
    48
     
    						
    							Switching off
    At the end of a programme:
    Open the door.
    Switch the dishwasher off using the
    On/Off button.
    The dishwasher will continue to use
    energy until you switch it off with the
    button.
    The dishwasher will switch off
    automatically a few minutes after the
    end of the programme.
    If the dishwasher is not going to be
    used for a longer period of time, e. g.
    whilst on holiday, the stopcock should
    be closed.
    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.
    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 raise the door
    up and push until the catch
    engages.
    Operation
