    							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/Off button.
    The On/Off indicator lightwill come on.
    Select the programme you want from the main menu.

    							BrilliantLight
    The dishwasher has interior lighting.
    When the door is open the lighting will
    switch off automatically after
    15 minutes.
    You can also switch off the interior
    lighting permanently.
    Half open the dishwasher door and
    quickly swing it back and forth three
    times. When doing this, open the
    door wide enough for the interior
    lighting to switch on and off.
    The lighting will now be switched off all
    the time.
    To switch the lighting back on again,
    quickly swing the half-opened door
    back and forth three times again.
    DetergentAgent
    For optimum cleaning results, the
    dishwasher automatically adjusts the
    programme sequence to the type of
    detergent being used. Depending on
    the programme, this can mean that the
    running time and energy consumption
    vary slightly.
    Follow the detergent manufacturer's
    instructions on dosage.
    The cleaning and drying
    performance of different types of
    detergent can vary greatly.
    If you only ever use combination
    products containing salt and rinse aid
    in your dishwasher, you can switch the
    messages off if you wish (see "Settings
    menu - Refill display"). The
    DetergentAgent function will not be
    affected by this.
    Please make sure that if you start
    using dishwasher salt and rinse aid
    again, you switch the messages back
    on.

    							Check your dishwasher regularly
    (approx. every4-6months). This
    way faults and problems can be
    avoided.
    The external surfaces of the
    dishwasher are susceptible to
    scratching.
    Contact with unsuitable cleaning
    agents can alter or discolour the
    external surfaces.
    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* or conditioner*.
    Follow the instructions on the
    packaging.
    If you mainly use low temperature
    programmes (below 50 °C), bacteria
    and unpleasant odours can build in the
    wash cabinet. To clean the wash
    cabinet and prevent unpleasant odours
    building up, run the Pots & Pans 75°C
    programme once month.
    Make sure that you also clean the filters
    in the wash cabinet regularly.
    Cleaning the door and the door
    seal
    Wipe the door seals regularly with a
    damp cloth to remove food deposits.
    Wipe off any food or drink residues
    which may have dripped onto the
    sides of dishwasher door before
    closing it.
    If this is not done, mould could build up
    on these surfaces as they are outside
    the wash cabinet and so not accessed
    and cleaned by the spray arm jets.
    Cleaning the reflector panel
    The reflector panel for the In-operation
    indicator light is situated in the
    coverplate underneath the worktop.
    The reflector panel and its plastic
    holder should only be wiped with a
    damp cloth or a suitable cleaning
    agent designed for use on plastic.
    Cleaning and care
    54
     
    						
    							Cleaning the control panel and
    door front
    Remove any soiling immediately.
    If this is not done, it might become
    impossible to remove and could
    cause the external surfaces to alter
    or discolour.
    The control panel shouldonlybe
    wiped with a damp cloth.
    Clean the front using a damp Miele
    microfibre E-cloth*, or with a clean
    sponge and a solution of hot water
    and washing-up liquid. Then dry with
    a soft cloth.To avoid damaging the external
    surfaces, do not use:
    –cleaning agents containing soda,
    ammonia, acids or chlorides,
    –cleaning agents containing
    descaling agents,
    –abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
    powder cleaners and cream
    cleaners,
    –solvent-based cleaning agents,
    –stainless steel cleaning agents,
    –dishwasher cleaner,
    – oven sprays,
    – glass cleaning agents,
    – hard, abrasive sponges and
    brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
    – melamine eraser blocks,
    – sharp metal scrapers,
    – steam cleaning appliances.

    							Checking the filters in the
    wash cabinet
    The filter combination in the base of the
    wash cabinet retains coarse soil from
    the suds solution, preventing it
    accessing the circulation system and
    re-entering the cabinet through the
    spray arms.
    This dishwasher must not be
    used without all the filters in place.
    Collection of coarse soil may cause the
    filters to clog. The level of soiling and
    time it takes before the filters need
    cleaning will vary depending on use.
    The message
    Check filterswill appear
    in the display after every 50 programme
    cycles (factory default setting).
    You can set the interval for this
    message to appear to between 30
    and 60 programme cycles (see
    "Settings menu
    , Check filters").
    
    Check the filter combination.
    
    Clean it, if necessary.
    
    Then confirm the message with
    OK.
    The display will change to show the
    programme selection menu.
    Cleaning the filters
    Switch the dishwasher off.
    Turn the handle anti-clockwise to
    release the filter combination.
    Lift the filter combination out of the
    dishwasher. Remove any coarse
    particles and rinse the filter well
    under running water. Use a nylon
    brush if necessary.
    Make sure that when cleaning
    the filters, no coarse soil falls into the
    circulation system, causing a
    blockage.
    Cleaning and care
    56
     
    						
    							To clean the inside of the filter, the flap
    must be opened:
    Press catchestogether in the
    direction of the arrows as shown, and
    open the filter.
    Rinse all the filters under running
    water.
    Then close the flap so that the catch
    engages.Replace the filter combination so that
    it lies flat in the base of the wash
    cabinet.
    Then turn the handle clockwise to
    lock the filter combination in place.
    Take care when you are fitting
    the filter combination that it is
    secured in position correctly.
    Otherwise coarse soil could get into
    the circulation system and cause a
    blockage.
    Cleaning and care
    57
     
    						
    							Cleaning the spray arms
    Particles of food can get stuck in the
    spray arm jets and bearings. The spray
    arms should therefore be inspected
    and cleaned regularly (approx. every
    4 - 6 months).
    Switch the dishwasher off.
    Remove the spray arms as follows:
    Take out the cutlery tray (if your
    dishwasher is fitted with one).
    Push thetopspray arm upwards to
    engage the inner ratchet. Then
    unscrew the spray arm.
    
    Push themiddlespray arm upwards
    to engage the ratchet. Then
    unscrew the spray arm.Remove the lower basket.
    Pull thelowerspray arm firmly
    upwards to remove it.
    
    Use a pointed object to push food
    particles into the spray arm jets.
    
    Rinse thoroughly under running
    water.
    
    Replace the spray arms and check
    that they rotate freely.
