Detergent
ɘ
Only use detergents formulated
for domestic dishwashers.
Refer to the manufacturer's packaging
as to whether Tab products are suitable
for the water hardness level in your
area.
Please note that the cleaning and dry‐
ing results of Tab detergents can vary
greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying re‐
sults, use Miele dishwasher detergent
and add Miele salt and Miele rinse aid
separately. See "Optional accesso‐
ries."
Detergent dosage
ĺ
Follow the dosage recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
ĺ
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 1 1/4 - 2 table‐
spoons (20 - 30 ml) detergent to
compartment II, depending on the
level of soiling. With very heavy soil‐
ing you can also add a small amount
of detergent to compartment l.
ĺ
Tabs may not dissolve completely
when the Express program (if availa‐
ble) is used.
Use only the recommended amount
of detergent. Continued use of too
much detergent may cause machine
damage.
ɘ
Dishwasher detergents can
cause burning in the nose, mouth,
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing.
Avoid inhaling or swallowing dish‐
washer detergent. Keep children
away from detergent. Keep deter‐
gent out of the reach of children.
Keep children away from the dish‐
washer when the door is open. There
could still be detergent residues in
the dishwasher. Only add detergent
just before starting the program and
lock the door with the child safety
lock (depending on model).
