This appliance conforms with all uniform safety codes and regulations. To avoid injury and machine damage, read the operating instructions carefully. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by improper use or for uses other than those for which the appliance is intended. Repairs should only be performed by a qualified and competent person. [. . . ] To remove the racks: ^ Press in the locking tabs (use a spoon handle if necessary) and pull the racks up and out of the basket. 27 Loading the dishwasher Dishwashers with a cutlery tray (SC) To make unloading easier, cutlery can be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, etc. Place the blades of knives and the tines of forks between the holders. Spoons should be placed in the opposite direction with handles between the holders. Longer items such as soup ladles, spatulas, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lengthwise in the indentation in the middle of the cutlery tray. The cutlery tray insert is removable. Spoon heads should be placed so that water can run off freely. If the spoon handles do not fit between the holders then position them like the forks and knives. 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. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, legumes, fish, fish brine and marinades. ­ 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 Only use powder 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 (25 ml) of detergent is enough for most normally soiled loads. For heavily soiled loads, 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, 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. ^ Press the latch on the detergent dispenser. The cover will spring open. To prevent children from coming into contact with dishwasher detergent, do not fill the detergent dispenser until you are ready to start 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. [. . . ] ­ If the "Start" indicator lights the extended water intake time is set. The "Start" indicator will light or go out each time the button is pressed. The modified intake time is now stored. 49 Solving problems Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve Use caution when cleaning the filters, non-return valve or drain pump; glass or bone splinters may be caught in the bottom of the wash cabinet. If the dishwasher is not completely drained at the end of a program, the drain pump or non-return valve may be blocked. [. . . ]
