Before using for the first time

Before using for the first time please note the following points:

Setting the water softener.

The water softener must be set to corre- spond to the water hardness in your area. This can be obtained from your local water company, or by using a test kit that can be purchased from the Miele Parts Department.

The salt reservoir must only be filled with water and salt. Never fill it with detergent.

Adding rinse aid.

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with liquid or powder deter- gent will damage the reservoir.

Only use detergents and rinse aids for- mulated for domestic dishwashers.

It is important to choose the correct program.

Different wash programs should be se- lected for different loads and different degrees of soiling. See the program chart for further program descriptions.

When the dishwasher is run for the first time, the selected program will not start for approximately 7 minutes.

During these 7 minutes, the Water softener reactivation program is run, and the “Softener” indicator lamp will be on.

Add the correct amount of detergent.

Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on how much deter- gent to use. Not enough or too much detergent can lead to poor wash re- sults.

Cleaning results vary from brand to brand. If you are not satisfied with the results from one brand, try another quality brand before contacting the Miele Service Department for advice.

Load the dishes correctly.

Load the dishes so that water can con- tact all surfaces. Ensure that the spray arms are not blocked by items which are too tall for the basket or which ex- tend through the bottom of the basket. If necessary, manually rotate the spray arms to test for clearance.

The combination filter in the base of the wash cabinet and the spray arms must be kept clean.

These should be regularly inspected and cleaned if necessary.

See the corresponding chapters for de- tailed information on the above points.
