Warning and safety instructions
14
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Deter-
gent will damage the water softener.
Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure kit-
chen salt for reactivation. Other salts may contain insoluble additives
that can impair the functioning of the water softener.
In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives
and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket
for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles down-
wards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle down
in the basket will come out cleaner and drier.
Plastic items that cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dish-
washer may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent
compartment must be dry. If it is not, wipe it until dry. The detergent
will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this
may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.
Please observe the information given in the “Technical data”
chapter regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.
Accessories
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, any
warranty, performance, and product liability claims will be invalid-
ated.
Transport
Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no
water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.
If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely
fasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses and cables.
