Commissioning

23

Before using the appliance forthe first time, you require:– approx. 2 litres of water,

– approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,

– detergent for commercialdishwashers,

– rinse aid for commercialdishwashers.

Suitable products are available fromMiele Professional.

Every dishwasher is tested at thefactory. There will be residual water inthe appliance from this test. It is notan indication that it has been usedpreviously.

Dishwasher saltIn order to achieve good cleaningresults, the dishwasher needs tooperate with soft water. Hard waterresults in a build-up of calcium depositson crockery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness levelhigher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - Germanscale) needs to be softened. This takesplace automatically in the integratedwater softener. The water softener inthe dishwasher is suitable for a waterhardness level of up to 6.5 mmol/l(36 °d - German scale).

The water softener requires reactivationsalt.

If the water in your area is very softand constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l(5 °d - German scale), you do nothave to add dishwasher salt. Theprompt to add salt will be switched offautomatically.

Dishwasher detergent willdamage the water softener.Do not fill the salt reservoir withpowder or liquid detergent.

Only use special coarse graineddishwasher salt for reactivation, orpure evaporated salt.Other salts (e.g. cooking salt,agricultural grade or gritting salt) maycontain insoluble additives which canimpair the functioning of the watersoftener.


Commissioning

24

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir withdishwasher salt for the first time, youmust fill it with approx. 2 litres ofwater to enable the salt to dissolve.Once the dishwasher has been used,there is always sufficient water in thereservoir.

Remove the lower basket andunscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Water or saline solution will run outof the reservoir when the cap isremoved.It should therefore only be removedin order to refill the salt reservoir.

Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litresof water (first use only).

Place the funnel provided over thesalt reservoir and carefully fill withdishwasher salt until the reservoir isfull. The salt reservoir holds approx.2 kg of salt depending on the brandused.

Clean any excess salt from aroundthe reservoir opening and then screwthe cap on again firmly.

Immediately after filling the saltreservoir, run the Cold pre-washprogramme without any crockery inthe dishwasher to remove any tracesof salt from the cabinet.

Commissioning

25

Add salt reminder

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwashersalt for reactivation when Add saltappears in the display (If it appearsduring a programme, wait until theend of the programme).

Confirm with OK.

The refill reminder will go out.

Risk of corrosion! Immediately after filling the saltreservoir, run the Cold pre-washprogramme without any crockery inthe dishwasher to remove any tracesof salt from the cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,the refill reminder may still appear in thedisplay if the salt concentration has notyet reached the correct level. If this isthe case, confirm again with OK.

The refill reminder will be switched off ifyou have programmed the dishwasherfor a water hardness below 0.9 mmol/l(5 °d - German scale).

If you do not want the refill remindersto appear, you can switch off bothrefill reminders for salt and rinse aid ifyou wish (see “Settings menu -Switching off the refill reminders”).

Commissioning

26

Rinse aidRinse aid is necessary to ensure waterdoes not cling to and leave marks oncrockery during the drying phase andhelps crockery dry faster after it hasbeen washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storagereservoir and the amount set isdispensed automatically.

Fill the reservoir with rinse aid forcommercial dishwashers only. Donot fill it with washing-up liquid orcleaning agent.This would damage the rinse aidreservoir.


Alternatively, you can use

– household vinegar with an acid levelno higher than 5%

or

– 10% liquid citric acid.

The resulting rinsing and drying qualitywill not be as good as when rinse aid isused.

Do not use vinegar with a highacidic level (e.g. vinegar concentrate25%)This may damage the dishwasher.

Adding rinse aid

Loading the dishwasher

28

NotesRemove coarse food residues fromcrockery.

There is no need to rinse items underrunning water.

Do not wash items soiled withash, sand, wax, lubricating grease orpaint in the dishwasher. Ash doesnot dissolve and is distributed in thewash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricatinggrease and paint cause damage tothe dishwasher.

Crockery can be loaded anywhere inthe baskets, but the following notesshould be observed:

– Do not place crockery and cutleryinside other pieces where they maybe concealed.

– Load the crockery so that water canaccess all surfaces. This ensures thatthey get properly cleaned.

– Make sure that all items are securelypositioned.

– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,pans, etc. must be inverted in thebasket.

– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.champagne glasses, should beplaced in the centre of the basket toensure better water coverage.

– Wide based items should be placedat an angle so that water can run offthem freely.

– The spray arms must not be blockedby items which are too tall or hangthrough the baskets. If in doubt, testfor free movement by manuallyrotating the spray arms.

– Make sure that small items cannotfall through the holders in thebaskets. Small items, e.g. lids, shouldtherefore be placed in the cutlery trayor cutlery basket (depending onmodel).

Some foodstuffs may contain naturaldyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes ortomato sauce. Plastic items in thedishwasher may discolour if largequantities of these foodstuffs findtheir way into the dishwasher on thecrockery. The stability of plasticitems is not affected by thisdiscolouration.Cleaning silver cutlery in thedishwasher may also cause plasticitems to discolour.


29

Items not suitable for dishwashers:

– Wooden cutlery and crockery oritems with wooden parts: these maydiscolour and fade. The glue used inthese items is not dishwasher-proofand wooden handles may comeloose after being washed in adishwasher.

– Craft items, antiques, valuable vasesand decorative glassware are alsonot suitable for dishwashers.

– Plastic items which are not heat-resistant: the high temperatures inthe dishwasher may cause them tomelt or lose shape.

– Copper, brass, tin and aluminiumitems may discolour or become matt.

– Colours painted over a glaze mayfade after a number of washes.

– Delicate glassware and glasswarecontaining lead crystal: clouding mayoccur over time.

Please note

Silverware previously cleaned with asilver polish may still be damp orspotted at the end of a programme,where water has not run off smoothly. Itmay need to be rubbed dry with a softcloth.

Silver which has been in contact withfoods containing sulphur can discolour.These include egg yolk, onions,mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fishbrine and marinades.

Aluminium components (e.g.rangehood grease filters) must not becleaned with caustic alkalinecommercial or industrial cleaningagents.These may damage the material, orin extreme cases, there is a risk of asevere explosive chemical reaction(such as an explosive oxyhydrogengas reaction).

Useful tip: When purchasing newcrockery and cutlery, make sure theyare dishwasher-proof.

Glass care

– Clouding may occur on glasses afterfrequent washing. When washingdelicate glassware in the dishwasher,ensure that only a special glass careprogramme with very lowtemperatures (see Programme chart)is selected. This will reduce the risk ofclouding.

– Purchase glassware which isdishwasher-safe (e.g. Riedelglassware).

– Use detergents with glass protectiveadditives.

Unsatisfactory cleaning result


The dishes are notclean.

The dishes were not loaded correctly. See notes in “Loading the dishwasher”.

The programme was not suitable for the load. Select a more suitable programme (see

“Programme chart”).Not enough detergent was dispensed. Increase the dosage.

The cleaning agent used is not suitable for the type ofsoiling present. Change your detergent.

Items are blocking the path of the spray arms. Rearrange the items so that the spray arms can

rotate freely.The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinetis not clean or is not correctly fitted. This may cause the spray arm jets to get blocked. Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly. Clean the spray arm jets if necessary (see

“Cleaning and care - Cleaning the spray arms”).The non-return valve is open and blocked. Dirty waterhas flowed back into the wash cabinet. Clean the drain pump and the non-return valve

(see “Maintenance”).

Smearing appears onglassware and cutlery,there is a bluish sheenon the surface ofglassware; film can bewiped off.

The rinse aid dosage is set too high. Reduce the dosage (see “Settings menu - Rinse

aid”).

Dishes, cutlery andglasses are not dry orare flecked.

The amount of rinse aid may be insufficient, or therinse aid reservoir is empty. Replenish the reservoir, increase the dosage or

change the brand of rinse aid (see “Before usingfor the first time - Rinse aid”).

Crockery was taken out of the cabinet too soon. Leave it in for longer (see “Operation”).


66


Glassware has a brownor blue tinge, and filmcannot be wiped off.

This is caused by ingredients in the cleaning agent. Change your detergent.

Glassware is dull anddiscoloured; film cannotbe wiped off.

The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surfacesare affected. Purchase glassware which is dishwasher-proof.

Tea or lipstick stainshave not beencompletely removed.

The wash temperature of the selected programmewas too low. Select a programme with a higher wash

temperature.The bleaching effect of the detergent used is too low. Change your detergent.

Plastic items arediscoloured.

Natural dyes, e.g. from carrots or tomatoes may bethe cause. The amount of detergent used or itsbleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with naturaldyes. Use more cleaning agent (see “Operation, Adding

detergent”).

Discoloured plastic items will not regain their originalcolour.

White residue is visibleon crockery, cloudingoccurs on glasswareand cutlery; film can bewiped off.

Not enough rinse aid was used. Increase the dosage (see “Settings menu - Rinse

aid”).There is no salt in the salt reservoir. Fill the salt reservoir (see “Before using for the first

time - Dishwasher salt”).The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed oncorrectly. Replace it, making sure that it screws back on

correctly.The water softener is programmed to too low a waterhardness level. Programme the water softener to a higher water

hardness level (see “Settings menu - Waterhardness”).


67


There are rust stains oncutlery.
