Miele G 7882 Manual

							Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed safely and kept
out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these materi
-
als away, please ensure that they are
recycled.
Disposal of your old machine
Old machines contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your waste collec
-
tion centre or scrap merchant about po
-
tential recycling schemes.
Ensure that the machine presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
See the appropriate section in the
Warning and Safety instructions.

							Before using for the first time please
pay special attention to the following
points.
Detailed information on these points
can be found in the relevant sections of
these Operating Instructions.
Set the water softener unit
The water softener unit must be set for
the water hardness level in your area.
The salt reservoir also has to be filled,
first with water
and then with reactiva
-
tion salt.
Filling the salt reservoir with cleaning
agent by mistake will cause serious
damage to the water softener.
Please check every time before refill-
ing that the package contains reacti-
vation salt.
Add rinsing agent
Inadvertently filling the reservoir for
rinsing agent with cleaning agent
(including liquid cleaning agents
and washing up liquid) will cause
serious damage to the reservoir.
Only use cleaning agents suitable for
use in washer disinfectors.
Do not use cleaning agents formulated
for use in domestic dishwashers.Load the machine carefully
Arrange the load so that water will
come into contact with all surfaces.
Concealed surfaces will not be
cleaned.
The spray arms must not be blocked by
any items.
Adding cleaning agent
Follow the cleaning agent manufac
-
turer’s recommendations on dosage.
The amount required will depend on the
type of cleaning agent and the
programme chosen.
Make sure you read the notes on dos-
ing given in the programme chart.
Cleaning results may vary from brand
to brand. If you are not satisfied with
the results from one brand try another
quality brand before contacting Miele
for advice.
The filter combination at the base of
the wash cabinet and the spray arms
must be kept clean.
Regular checking and cleaning is es-
sential.

							Electric door lock
The machine is equipped with an elec
-
tric door lock.
The door can only be opened when:
^the electricity supply to the machine
is switched on and:
^the master switchI-0is pressed in.
To open the doora
^Press the door release button in as
far as it will go, and at the same time,
grip the handle and open the door.
Do not touch the heating elements if
you open the door during or directly
after the end of a programme, you
could burn yourself. They remain hot
for some time after the end of the
programme.
To close the door
^Lift the door upwards and push until
it clicks shut. Do not press the re-
lease catch whilst shutting the door!
After the first intake of water, it is no lon-
ger possible to open the door, except in
theD(PRE-RINSE) and6(DRAIN)
programmes. The machine can be pro-
grammed to open during drying (addi-
tional programme).
The door remains locked and cannot
be opened until the end of the
programme.
To cancel a programme
If a programme has to be cancelled in
an emergency, e.g. when articles in the
machine jostle against each other or
the programme has been interrupted
because of a fault, the door will have to
be opened manually:
^Turn the programme selector to the
fposition (the programme is can
-
celled after approx. 2 secs.).
Important
It is essential to follow procedures, par
-
ticularly with regard to regulations on
preventing the spread of epidemics, as
described in Operation - cancelling a
programme.
Opening and closing the door

							To open the door with the
emergency release
The emergency release should only be
used when the door cannot be opened
normally, e.g. in the event of a power
failure.
Important
It is essential to follow procedures, par
-
ticularly with regard to regulations on
preventing the spread of epidemics, as
described in Operation - cancelling a
programme.
^Turn the programme selector tof.
^PressI-0to switch the machine off.
^
The emergency release cable is lo-
cated at the bottom of the machine
behind the service panel. Pull it
downwards to open the door.

							The water needs to be softened to
avoid calcium deposits building up on
instruments and utensils and in the ma
-
chine itself.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water
the water softener unit must always be:
1. correctly set (programmed) and
2. the salt reservoir must be filled.
(If the water hardness level is below
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) the
reservoir does not need to be filled
with reactivation salt.)
The machine is set at the factory for a
water hardness level of 3.4 mmol/l
(19 °d).
If the water supply is harder or softer
than this (including below 0.7 mmol/l
or 4 °d) the factory setting will need
to be changed following the instruc-
tions in Setting the water softener.
See chart on the next page for set-
tings.
Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness in your area.
For fluctuating levels (e.g. 1.4 - 3.1
mmol/l or 8 - 17 °d) set the water soft-
ener to the highest setting (in this ex-
ample to 3.1 mmol/l or 17 °d).
Important
The built-in water softener has settings
from 0.2 - 10.8 mmol/l or 1 °d - 60 °d.

play (the factory water hardness set-
ting in °d), (equivalent to 3.4 mmol/l).
^Pressßas many times as is neces-
sary, or hold it in until the required
value (hardness level in °d) appears
in the display.
Once the number 60 has been
reached, the counter will begin again
at 0.

							Filling the salt reservoir
Please only use special coarse grained
reactivation salt
with granules of
approx. 1-4 mm. Do not use other types
of salt, e.g. table salt, agricultural or
gritting salt. These could contain com
-
ponents which are insoluble in water
which could result in damage to the wa
-
ter softener. If in doubt consult your
Miele Professional Department.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2.5 kg
of salt.
,Inadvertently filling the salt reser
-
voir with cleaning agent
will damage
the water softener.
Before filling the salt reservoir make
sure that you have picked up the
right packet of reactivation salt
.
^Remove the bottom basket from the
machine.
^Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir with
reactivation salt for the first time fill it
with approx. 2.5 litres of water.
^Place the funnel provided in place.
^Fill carefully with salt, (as it is filled
displaced water will run out).
^Wipe any residual salt off the screw
threads on the socket.
^
Screw the cap on firmly.
^
Immediately after this:
Run the
PRE-RINSE programmeDto remove
any traces of salt from the cabinet.
Important:
If after starting the
PRE-RINSE programmeDthe machine
does not start for a few minutes this is
not a fault. The water softener is being
reactivated.

							Salt indicator
When the salt reservoir is empty thek
indicator lightbcomes on to remind
you to fill the reservoir.
Reactivation takes place automatically
during a programme.
The programme sequence indicator
lightkalights up whilst this is hap-
pening.

							Rinsing agent is necessary to ensure
water does not cling and leave marks
on items during the drying phase and
to help items dry faster after they have
been washed.
Rinsing agent is poured into the stor
-
age reservoir and the amount set is dis
-
pensed automatically.
The rinsing agent reservoir holds
approx. 180 ml.
,Inadvertently filling the rinsing
agent reservoir with cleaning agent
(including liquid cleaning agent) will
damage the reservoir.
Make sure you use a rinsing agent
which is suitable for use in washer
disinfectors.
^
The reservoir must be filled with rins-
ing agentwhen theH/ CHEM  indi-
cator light comes on.
There is also a level indicator for the
rinsing agent reservoir on the inside
of the door (see illustration on the
right).Important
: The H/ CHEM  indicator
light will light up if the container for
chemical disinfecting agent (optional
DOS-Module G 60) is empty.
^Open the door fully
.
^Undo the screw cap.
^
Pour rinsing agent into the reservoir
until the level indicator is dark (see
arrow in the illustration). Use a funnel
if necessary.
