Before using for the first time

Before using for the first time, please note the following points.

Setting the water softener (if applicable).

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.

Use only powder detergents and liquid rinse aids formulated for domestic dish- washers.

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.

Add the correct amount of detergent.

Generally, one to two tablespoons of detergent will be adequate for most wash loads. Not enough or too much detergent can lead to poor wash re- sults.

Cleaning results vary between deter- gents. 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.
