This appliance conforms with all uniform safety codes and regulations. [. . . ] The cutlery tray insert is removable. Spoon heads should be placed in contact with the serrated retainers of the cutlery tray so water can run off. If a spoon handle does not fit securely between the holders then place it like the forks and knives. Make sure that the upper spray arm can rotate freely after the tray is slid in; otherwise the rotation of the spray arms may be inadequate for a thorough cleaning. 28 Loading the dishwasher Items not suitable for dishwashers: ­ Cutlery with wooden handles. ­ Glued items such as old knives with handles that are glued together around the shank of the blade. ­ Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may be damp or spotted at the end of a program where water has adhered to the polish. Silver that has been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may tarnish. ­ Clouding or etching may occur on glasses after frequent washing. Miele recommends: ­ Wash delicate glassware using the "Economy" program or the "China & Crystal" program to reduce the risk of clouding. ­ There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware but, when in doubt wash by hand. ­ When purchasing new dishes and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe. ­ If crystal or delicate glasses will be washed frequently, connect the dishwasher to cold, rather than hot water. 29 Operating the dishwasher Operating the dishwasher Adding detergent Use only powdered detergents or tablets formulated for residential dishwashers. The cover will always be open at the end of a wash program (except "Rinse & Hold"). Generally, filling the dispenser with 1 ½ tablespoons of detergent is enough for a thorough cleaning. If dishes are extra dirty, or if food has dried on the dishes, a program containing a prewash cycle should be selected. Add an extra tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent to compartment I in the center of the dispenser, or place directly on the inner door panel. They can cause burns in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergent and from the dishwasher when the door is open. To prevent children from coming into contact with dishwasher detergent, do not fill the detergent dispenser until you are ready to run the dishwasher. Capacities: Compartment I (prewash) holds a maximum of 3/4 ounce (20 ml) and Compartment II (main wash) holds a maximum of 2 3/4 ounces (70 ml) when completely filled. The horizontal marks in Compartment II indicate levels of approximately 3/4, 1, and 1 1/4 ounces (20, 25 and 30 ml) respectively. ^ Press the latch on the detergent dispenser. The cover will spring open. ^ Fill the dispenser with 1 ½ tablespoons of powder detergent, or place a detergent tablet into compartment II. 30 Operating the dishwasher Operating the dishwasher Program selection The wash program chosen should depend on the type of dishes and the degree of soiling. In most cases the "Light Wash", the "Normal" or the "Sani Wash" program will give excellent results. Available programs and their applications are listed in the Program Chart. 31 Operating the dishwasher Turning on the dishwasher ^ Open the water valve, if closed. [. . . ] If the dishwasher is not completely drained at the end of a program, the drain pump or non-return valve may be blocked. ^ Tilt the locking clamp to the side. 52 Solving problems ^ Pull out the non-return valve. ^ Rinse the non-return valve under running water. The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow). ^ Before returning the non-return valve, check to make sure that the drain pump is not obstructed. [. . . ]
