Turning off.
At the end of a program:
Turn the program selector knob to
the “STOP” position.
If the appliance will not be used for an
extended period (e.g. while on vaca-
tion), it is recommended that the water
supply valve be shut off.
Your Miele dishwasher is designed
to shut off the water flow and drain
the machine in the rare event of a
valve failure. In order for this func-
tion to be active, the door must be
shut, the machine must be “On”,
and the Program knob must be in
the “STOP” position.
Interrupting a program.
A program can be interrupted by open-
ing the door.
If the door is then closed, the program
will continue from the point it was at be-
fore the door was opened.
Warning!
The water in the dishwasher may
be hot, and steam may be pres-
ent! Only open the door if abso-
lutely necessary and exercise ex-
treme caution when doing so. The
danger of burns and scalding
exists.
Once the door has been opened,
allow 20-30 second for internal
temperature to equalize before
closing it again, and then make
sure it clicks into place.
Changing a program.
A program can be changed at any
time. The new program will start as
soon as it has been selected.
Turn the program selector knob to
the desired program.
If you wish to start the new program at
its beginning:
Turn the program selector knob to
“STOP” then select the new program.
It may be necessary to add additional
detergent, depending on where the
original program was interrupted.
Unloading the dishwasher
Dishes tend to break and chip easier
when they are hot. Allow the dishes to
cool until they are comfortable enough
to handle before unloading them.
If the door is opened at the comple-
tion of the drying cycle, the dishes
will cool much faster.
Unload the lower basket first, then
the upper basket and cutlery tray (if
so equipped). This will prevent water
drops from the upper basket or cut-
lery tray from falling onto the dishes
in the lower basket.
