Warning and Safety instructions  
Installation  
This appliance conforms to current  
safety requirements. Inappropriate  
use can however lead to personal  
injury and damage to property.  
Read the operating instructions  
carefully before starting to use this  
appliance. This way you will prevent  
the risk of accidents and damage to  
the appliance.  
The dishwasher must be installed  
and connected in compliance with  
the installation instructions.  
The electrical socket must be eas-  
ily accessible after the dishwasher  
has been installed.  
In order to ensure stability, built-un-  
der and integrated dishwashers  
must only be installed under a continu-  
ous worktop which is secured to adja-  
cent cabinetry.  
Keep these instructions in a safe  
place for future reference, and pass  
them on to any future user.  
The dishwasher must not be in-  
stalled under a hob. The high radi-  
ant temperatures which are sometimes  
generated by a hob could damage the  
dishwasher.  
Correct usage  
This dishwasher is intended exclu-  
sively for cleaning domestic crock-  
ery and cutlery in a domestic house-  
hold. Using it for purposes other than  
those for which it was designed, as well  
as any alterations or conversions to the  
machine would be unauthorised and  
could cause harm. The manufacturer  
cannot be held liable for damage re-  
sulting from improper or incorrect use  
of the appliance.  
Do not connect the dishwasher to  
the mains supply until it has been  
installed.  
Check that the voltage, frequency  
and fuse rating shown on the data  
plate match the household mains sup-  
ply.  
The electrical safety of this appli-  
ance can only be guaranteed when  
continuity is complete between the ap-  
pliance and an effective earthing sys-  
tem. It is most important that this basic  
safety requirement is tested and where  
there is any doubt, the electrical system  
in the house is checked by a qualified  
electrician.  
The manufacturer cannot be held re-  
sponsible for the consequences of an  
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-  
tric shock).  
Delivery  
Before setting up the machine  
check it for any externally visible  
damage. Under no circumstances  
should you use a damaged machine. A  
damaged machine is dangerous.  
Please ensure that the packaging  
material is offered for recycling.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Take care on dishwashers with a  
visible heater element  
(depending on model)  
To avoid the danger of children  
coming into contact with the dish-  
washer detergent: only add detergent  
just before starting the programme and  
close the door, activating the child  
safety lock (depending on model).  
Keep children away from the dish-  
washer when the door is open. There  
could still be detergent residues in the  
cabinet.  
Do not touch the heating element  
during or directly after the end of a  
programme. It will be hot. Danger of  
burning!  
Some plastic items could melt or  
catch fire if they were to come into  
contact with the heating element.  
Therefore always place plastic items or  
any other items which may not be com-  
pletely heat resistant in the upper bas-  
ket and ensure they cannot drop down  
onto the heater element.  
Any items which are too small to be  
lodged securely in the upper basket  
should not be cleaned in the dish-  
washer.  
To ensure children do not come  
into contact with detergent on  
models with the "Delay start" option  
make sure the dispenser is dry before  
adding detergent. Wipe dry if neces-  
sary. Detergent will clog if poured into a  
damp dispenser and may not be thor-  
oughly dispersed. If the door is open at  
the end of a programme, children may  
come into contact with this residue.  
Safety with children  
To avoid machine and material  
damage  
Do not allow children to play in or  
around the dishwasher, or to oper-  
ate it. There is a danger that children  
playing might shut themselves in the  
dishwasher.  
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir  
with powder or liquid detergent.  
This will cause serious damage to the  
reservoir.  
Keep children away from deter-  
gents. Dishwasher detergents con-  
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients.  
They can cause burning in the mouth,  
nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit  
breathing. Consult a doctor immediate-  
ly if your child has swallowed or inhaled  
detergent.  
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-  
voir with powder or liquid dish-  
washer detergent always leads to seri-  
ous damage to the water softener.  
Make sure you have picked up the cor-  
rect packet of dishwasher salt before  
filling the salt reservoir!  
Do not use commercial or industrial  
detergents as these may damage  
material and there is a risk of severe  
chemical reaction.

Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Energy saving washing  
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco-  
nomical in its use of water and electric-  
ity. You can make the most of your ap-  
pliance by following these tips:  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for disposal  
and can normally be recycled.  
^ If your household water system is  
suitable, this dishwasher can be con-  
nected to a hot water supply, for fur-  
ther economies.  
Although all stages of the wash then  
take place with hot water, savings are  
made in:  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
Rather than just throwing these materi-  
als away, please ensure that they are  
recycled.  
- the use of primary energy,  
- costs,  
- programme running times.  
If, however, your water is heated by  
electricity we would still recommend  
connection to cold water.  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Old appliances contain materials which  
can be recycled. Please contact your  
dealer, your local waste collection cen-  
tre or scrap merchant about potential  
recycling schemes.  
^ For most economical dishwashing  
make full use of the baskets without  
overloading the dishwasher.  
Ensure that the appliance presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal. See the appropriate sec-  
tion in the Warning and Safety instruc-  
tions.  
^ Choose the programme to suit the  
type of crockery being washed and  
the degree of soiling.  
^ Select the Economy programme for  
energy-saving dishwashing.  
^ Use the correct amounts of deter-  
gent.  
^ Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if  
baskets are only half full.  
^ The drying heat can be switched off,  
shortening the length of the  
programme and saving energy. The  
load then dries to a large extent in its  
own heat (see "Drying heat")

Before using for the first time  
Water softener  
Where the water hardness fluctuates  
e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 °d  
German scale) always programme the  
dishwasher to the higher value  
In order to achieve good cleaning re-  
sults, the dishwasher needs to operate  
with soft water. Hard water results in the  
build-up of calcium deposits on crock-  
ery and in the dishwasher.  
Mains water with a hardness level  
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4° d - German  
scale) needs to be softened. This takes  
place automatically in the integrated  
water softener.  
(3.1 mmol/l in this example).  
In the event of a fault, it will help the  
service technician if you know the hard-  
ness of your local water supply.  
^ Enter the water hardness below:  
mmol/l or °d  
– The water softener must be filled with  
dishwasher salt for reactivation.  
– The dishwasher must be pro-  
grammed to correspond to the water  
hardness in your area.  
– Your local water authority will be able  
to advise you of the water hardness  
level in your area.

Before using for the first time  
Filling the salt reservoir  
^ Remove the lower basket and un-  
screw the salt reservoir cap.  
If the water in your area is very soft  
and constantly lower than 0.7 mmol/l  
(4 °d) you do not need to add dish-  
washer salt.  
^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres  
of water (first use).  
The water softener must, however,  
still be programmed to correspond  
to the water hardness level in your  
area. (The salt indicator light will still  
come on, but should be ignored).  
Important: Before filling the salt res-  
ervoir with dishwasher salt for the  
first time, you must fill it with approx.  
2 litres of water to enable the salt to  
dissolve. Once the dishwasher has  
been used, there is always sufficient  
water in the reservoir.  
^ Place the funnel provided over the  
salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt  
until the reservoir is full. The salt res-  
ervoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt de-  
pending on the brand used.  
,Inadvertently filling the salt reser-  
voir with powder or liquid dish-  
washer detergent always leads to  
serious damage to the water soft-  
ener. Make sure you have picked up  
the correct packet of dishwasher salt  
before filling the salt reservoir!  
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced  
water will overflow.  
^ Clean any excess salt from around  
the reservoir opening and then screw  
the cap on again firmly.  
^ Run the "Pre-wash" programme im-  
mediately to remove any traces of  
salt water from the cabinet.  
,Only use special coarse grained  
dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do  
not use other salts such as cooking  
salt, agricultural grade or gritting  
salt. These may contain insoluble  
additives which can impair the func-  
tioning of the water softener.

Before using for the first time  
Salt indicator  
Note  
The salt indicator light comes on to no-  
tify you that the reservoir is empty.  
If the water in your area is very soft and  
constantly lower than 0.7 mmol (4 °d)  
you do not need to add salt to the res-  
ervoir. The salt indicator light, however,  
will still come on, but should be ig-  
nored.  
(See "After sales service" for definition  
of "PC").  
^ The reservoir should then be refilled  
with dishwasher salt for reactivation.  
(See: Filling the salt reservoir).  
After the reservoir has been filled, the  
water softener is automatically reacti-  
vated the next time the dishwasher is  
run. The salt indicator light may still be  
illuminated during this process. It will  
go out once the salt concentration has  
reached the correct level.

Before using for the first time  
Rinse aid  
Adding rinse aid  
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water  
does not cling and leave marks on  
crockery during the drying phase.  
Rinse aid is poured into the storage res-  
ervoir and the amount set is dispensed  
automatically.  
,Inadvertently filling the rinse aid  
reservoir with powder or liquid dish-  
washer detergent always causes se-  
rious damage to the reservoir. Only  
pour rinse aid formulated for domes-  
tic dishwashers into the reservoir.  
^ Press the button in the direction of  
the arrow until the flap springs open.  
Alternatively, it is possible to use  
– Household vinegar with a max. 5%  
acid content  
or  
– Liquid citric acid up to 50% acid  
content.  
The resulting rinsing and drying quality  
will not, however, be as good as when  
rinse aid is used.  
,Do not use vinegar with a higher  
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence  
25% acid). This must not be used as  
its use would damage the dish-  
washer.

Before using for the first time  
Rinse aid indicator  
The Rinse aid indicator light on the fas-  
cia comes on when the rinse aid reser-  
voir needs to be replenished.  
^ Add rinse aid only until it is visible on  
the surface of the filter in the  
opening.  
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.  
130 ml.  
When the light comes on the reservoir  
still contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3  
programmes.  
^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks  
into place. Otherwise water would en-  
ter the rinse aid reservoir during a  
programme.  
^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time.  
^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This  
prevents over-foaming occuring dur-  
ing the next programme.

Before using for the first time  
Setting the rinse aid dosage  
The dosage selector has settings from  
1-6. It is set to "3" (3 ml) at the factory.  
Approx. 3 ml of rinse aid are then used  
per programme. This is a recom-  
mended setting.  
If spots appear on crockery and glass-  
ware:  
^ Use a higher setting.  
If clouding or smearing appears on  
crockery and glassware:  
^ Use a lower setting.

Loading the dishwasher  
Note  
^ Deep based items should be placed  
at an angle so that water can run off  
them freely.  
^ Remove coarse food residues from  
crockery.  
^ The spray arms must not be blocked  
by items which are too tall or hang  
through the baskets.  
There is no need to rinse items under  
running water.  
If in doubt, test for free movement by  
manually rotating the spray arms.  
,Do not wash items soiled with  
ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease  
or paint in the dishwasher. Ash does  
not dissolve and is distributed in the  
wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating  
grease and paint cause damage to  
the dishwasher.  
^ Make sure that small items do not fall  
through the holders in the baskets.  
Small items, e.g. lids, should there-  
fore be placed in the cutlery tray or  
cutlery basket.  
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in  
the baskets, but the following notes  
should be observed:  
Some foodstuffs may contain natural  
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or  
ketchup. Plastic items in the dish-  
washer may discolour if large quan-  
tities of these foodstuffs find their  
way into the appliance on the crock-  
ery. The stability of plastic items is  
not affected by this discolouration.  
^ Do not place crockery and cutlery in-  
side other pieces where they may be  
concealed.  
^ Load the crockery so that water can  
access all surfaces. This ensures that  
it is properly cleaned.  
When the dishwasher is being  
loaded food and drink residue may  
drip onto the sides of the dish-  
washer door.  
These surfaces are outside the wash  
cabinet and are not accessed by  
water from the spray arms.  
Food residue should therefore be  
wiped away before the dishwasher  
door is closed.  
^ Make sure that all items are securely  
positioned.  
^ Hollow items such as cups, glasses,  
pans, etc. must be inverted in the  
basket.  
^ Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g. cham-  
pagne glasses, should be placed in  
the centre of the basket to ensure  
better water coverage.

Bottle holder  
The bottle holder, e.g. for milk and baby  
bottles, can be fitted in the lower basket  
in the area marked white in the illustra-  
tion. However, do not place a bottle  
holder in the corners. Water will not be  
able to access the bottles properly, and  
cleaning results will be impaired.

Cutlery  
,However, to avoid the risk of in-  
jury cutlery with sharp points should  
be placed with the handles up-  
wards.  
Dishwashers with a cutlery basket  
Place small spoons in the individual  
slots to either side of the cutlery basket.  
^ Unsorted cutlery should be placed in  
the cutlery basket with the handles

Spoon inserts for the cutlery basket  
Use the inserts supplied when washing  
heavily soiled spoons, e.g. tablespoons  
and serving spoons.  
The inserts separate the spoons to al-  
low a space between them so that they  
can be more easily accessed by water.  
^ Insert the spoons with the handles  
facing downwards, using only every  
other slot.  
^ If required, place an insert onto the  
front and rear of the cutlery basket.  
To remove the inserts:  
^ Press the engaged hooks inwards  
(use a spoon handle if necessary)  
and remove the insert by pulling it  
upwards.

Dishwashers with a cutlery tray (SC)  
Spoon heads should be placed in con-  
tact with at least one of the serrated re-  
tainers on the base of the cutlery tray to  
ensure that water runs off them freely.  
For best results cutlery should be  
grouped in zones, one for knives, one  
for forks, one for spoons, etc.This  
makes unloading much easier.  
Place the blades of knives and the  
prongs of forks between the holders.  
Spoons, on the other hand, should be  
placed with the handles between the  
holders.  
Longer items such as soup ladles, cake  
slices, mixing spoons and long knives  
should be placed lengthwise in the in-  
dentation in the middle of the cutlery  
tray.  
The upper spray arm must not be  
blocked by items which are too big  
(e.g. cake slices).  
If spoon handles do not fit between the  
holders then lay them the other way  
round making sure that the head of the  
spoon is in contact with the support on  
the bottom of the tray.  
The cutlery tray insert is removable.

Items not suitable for  
dishwashers:  
Please note  
Silverware previously cleaned with a  
silver polish may still be damp or spot-  
ted at the end of a programme, where  
water has not run off smoothly. It may  
need rubbing dry with a soft cloth. Sil-  
ver treated in a silver immersion dip is  
usually dry at the end of a programme  
but may discolour.  
– Wooden cutlery and crockery or  
items with wooden parts: these may  
discolour and fade. The glue used in  
these items is not dishwasher-proof  
and wooden handles may come  
loose after being washed in a dish-  
washer.  
Silver which has been in contact with  
foods containing sulphur can discolour.  
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon-  
naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine  
and marinades.  
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases  
and decorative glassware are also  
not suitable for dishwashers.  
– Plastic items which are not heat re-  
sistant. The high temperatures in the  
dishwasher may cause them to melt  
or lose shape.  
,Aluminium components (e.g. a  
grease filter) must not be cleaned  
with caustic alkaline commercial or  
industrial cleaning agents. These  
may damage material, or in extreme  
cases, cause severe chemical reac-  
tion. See section "Adding detergent"  
for information on suitable deter-  
gents.  
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium  
items may discolour or become matt.  
– Colours painted over a glaze may  
fade after a number of washes.  
– Clouding may occur on glasses after  
frequent washing. Do not wash  
glassware containing lead crystal in  
a dishwasher.  
We recommend:  
– When purchasing new crockery and  
cutlery, make sure they are dish-  
washer-proof.  
– There are no standard guidelines for  
washing glassware. When in doubt,  
wash glassware by hand.  
– If delicate glassware is washed in the  
dishwasher ensure that only very low  
temperatures are used (see  
programme chart). This will reduce  
the risk of clouding.

Operating the dishwasher  
Detergent  
Detergent manufacturers give the re-  
quired amount of detergent for a partic-  
ular programme on their packaging.  
,Only use detergents formulated  
for domestic dishwashers. Do not  
use washing up liquid.  
^ Use at least 30 ml of detergent for a  
full load in the following programmes:  
- Intensive,  
- Universal plus,  
- Universal,  
- Normal,  
- Economy.  
If the manufacturer recommends a  
larger amount of detergent, use the  
amount recommended.  
^ You can use conventional powder de-  
tergent, tablets or liquid dishwasher  
detergent.  
Refer to the dosing instructions given  
by the manufacturer on the packag-  
ing.  
^ Put powder or liquid detergent into  
the dispenser compartment.  
Failure to dispense the recom-  
mended amount of detergent may  
impair cleaning results.  
^ Detergent tablets should only be put  
into compartment II if this is recom-  
mended by the manufacturer.  
If the manufacturer recommends in-  
serting tablets in the cutlery basket  
do not do so. Instead place them on  
the inside of the door or directly into  
the wash cabinet to help them dis-  
solve properly.  
If you are using 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 com-  
bination tablets, please continue to  
replenish the salt and rinse aid res-  
ervoirs as described in this booklet.  
Otherwise the cleaning and drying  
performance of the machine may  
deteriorate over time.

Operating the dishwasher  
Adding detergent  
,Avoid inhalation of powder de-  
tergents and do not ingest dish-  
washer detergent! Dishwasher de-  
tergents contain irritant or corrosive  
ingredients. They can cause burning  
in the nose, mouth and throat if swal-  
lowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a  
doctor immediately if detergent has  
been swallowed or inhaled. Keep  
children away from detergents and  
from the dishwasher when the door  
is open. There could still be deter-  
gent residues in the cabinet. To  
avoid the danger of children coming  
into contact with the dishwasher de-  
tergent only add detergent just be-  
fore starting the programme and  
close the door, activating the child  
safety lock.  
^ Press the opening catch on the de-  
tergent dispenser. The flap will spring  
open.  
The flap is always open at the end of a  
programme.  
It is essential to follow the instruc-  
tions given in the programme chart  
at the end of the operating instruc-  
tions.  
For information  
Compartment I holds max. 20 ml,  
Compartment II holds max. 70 ml.  
^ Add the required amount of deter-  
gent and close the flap.  
There are markings in compartment II  
to assist with dispensing. The marks in-  
dicate a level of approx. 20, 25, 30 ml  
when the door is open in a horizontal  
position.  
^ Ensure that the detergent package is  
properly sealed after use. Otherwise  
the detergent can lose its effective-  
ness.

A programme is interrupted as soon as  
the door is opened.  
If the door is closed again, the  
programme will continue from the point  
it was at before the door was opened.  
Important:  
If the detergent dispenser flap has  
already opened, do not change the  
programme.  
If a programme has already started and  
you wish to change it proceed as fol-  
lows:  
,Water in the dishwasher may be  
hot. Danger of scalding!  
Only open the door if absolutely  
necessary and exercise extreme  
caution when doing so. Before clos-  
ing the door again, leave it ajar for  
approx. 20 secs. This will enable the  
temperature in the wash cabinet to  
settle. Close the door firmly making  
sure that it clicks into place.  
^ Turn the programme selector (16) to  
the "Stop" position.  
^ Leave the programme selector (16) in

Unloading the dishwasher  
^ Dishes tend to break and chip more  
easily when they are hot.  
Allow the dishes to cool until they are  
comfortable enough to handle before  
unloading them.  
^ If you open the door fully after switch-  
ing off, the dishes will cool much  
faster.  
^ First unload the lower basket, then  
the upper basket and finally the cut-  
lery tray (depending on model).  
This will prevent water drops from the  
upper basket and cutlery tray from  
falling onto the dishes in the lower  
basket.

Cleaning and care  
Check your dishwasher regularly  
(approx. every 4 - 6 months). This  
way faults and problems can be  
avoided.  
Cleaning the filters in the wash  
cabinet  
The filter combination in the base of the  
wash cabinet retains coarse soil from  
the suds solution, preventing it access-  
ing the circulation system and re-enter-  
ing the cabinet through the spray arms.  
^ Turn the handle anti-clockwise to re-  
lease the filter combination.  
,The dishwasher must not be  
used without all the filters in place.  
Collection of coarse soil may cause the  
filters to clog.  
Check the filter combination regularly  
(every 4 - 6 months) and clean if neces-  
sary.  
^ Switch the dishwasher off before-  
hand.  
^ Lift the filter combination out of the  
dishwasher. Remove any coarse par-  
ticles and rinse the filter under run-  
ning water. Use a nylon brush if nec-  
essary.  
38  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Cleaning and care  
^ Replace the filter combination so that  
it lies flat in the base of the wash cab-  
inet.  
To clean the underside of the filter, the  
flap must be opened:  
^ Pull back the yellow clip to do this.  
^ Secure the filter by turning the handle  
in a clockwise direction.  
^ Rinse all parts under running water,  
using a nylon brush if necessary.  
,Take care when you are fitting  
the filter combination that it is se-  
cured in position correctly. Other-  
wise coarse soil could get into the  
circulation system and cause a  
blockage.  
^ Then close the flap so that the clip  
engages. Important: After cleaning  
make sure that the clip has properly  
engaged.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the spray arms  
^ Remove the lower basket.  
Particles of food can get stuck in the  
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray  
arms should therefore be inspected  
and cleaned regularly (approx. every  
4 - 6 months).  
^ Switch the dishwasher off before-  
hand.  
Remove the spray arms as follows:  
^ Take out the cutlery tray (if your dish-  
washer is fitted with one).  
^ Press the top spray arm upwards to  
engage the inner ratchet. Then un-  
screw the spray arm.  
^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly up-  
wards to remove it.  
^ Lift up the middle spray arm b to en-  
gage the ratchet. Then unscrew the  
spray arm b.  
^ Use a pointed object to push food  
particles into the spray arm jets.  
^ Rinse thoroughly under running wa-  
ter.  
^ Replace the spray arms and check  
that they rotate freely.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the wash cabinet  
Cleaning the control panel and  
door front panel  
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean-  
ing, provided that the correct amount of  
detergent is always used.  
Plastic panels:  
^ This type of panel should only be  
wiped with a damp cloth or suitable  
cleaning agent designed for use on  
plastic.  
If, however, there are limescale or  
grease deposits in the cabinet these  
can be removed with a proprietary  
dishwasher cleaner.  
,Do not use abrasive cleaning  
agents, glass cleaning agents or  
all-purpose cleaners. Because of  
their chemical composition they  
could cause serious damage to  
plastic surfaces.  
Cleaning the door and the door  
seal  
^ Wipe the door seals regularly with a  
damp cloth to remove food deposits.  
^ When the dishwasher is being loaded  
food and drink residue may drip onto  
the sides of the dishwasher door.  
These surfaces are outside the wash  
cabinet and are not accessed by wa-  
ter from the spray arms. Any soiling  
should be wiped off these surfaces  
before the door is closed.  
Stainless steel panels:  
^ Clean using a proprietary non-abra-  
sive cleaning agent designed specifi-  
cally for use on stainless steel.To help  
prevent re-soiling, proprietary condi-  
tioning agents for stainless steel can  
also be used. Apply sparingly with an  
even pressure in the direction of the  
grain.  
Aluminium panels:  
Aluminium is affected by the way that  
light falls on it, by the surrounding envi-  
ronment and by the angle you observe  
it from.  
Aluminium is susceptible to scratching  
and abrasion and must be treated with  
due care.  
^ Soiling should be removed as soon  
as possible using a damp cloth and a  
little washing up liquid.  
,Aluminium surfaces and controls  
may suffer discolouration or damage  
if soiling is left on them for too long.

Cleaning and care  
Wood door front panels:  
^ Door fronts made from wood should  
only be cleaned using a damp cham-  
ois leather and then dried with a soft  
cloth.  
,Do not use any cleaning agents  
containing ammonia or thinners.  
These would damage the surface  
structure.  
E-Cloth:  
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from  
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,  
Part number 98013530, which is suit-  
able for cleaning surfaces such as  
stainless steel, glass, plastic and  
chrome without the use of chemicals.

Solving problems  
Cleaning the water inlet filter  
A filter is incorporated in the screw con-  
nection of the valve on the water inlet  
hose. The filter must be cleaned when  
dirty, otherwise insufficient water flows  
into the wash cabinet.  
,The plastic housing of the water  
connection contains an electrical  
component. It must not be dipped in  
water.  
Recommendation  
If the mains water contains a large  
number of insoluble substances, we  
recommend fitting a large-area filter in  
the connection between the stopcock  
and the water inlet hose threaded un-  
ion. This filter is available from the Miele  
Spares Dept.  
^ Carefully remove the rubber seal.  
^ Withdraw the filter using pointed pli-  
ers and rinse clean under running  
water.  
^ Replace the filter and seal, making  
sure they are sitting correctly.  
^ Reconnect the inlet hose to the stop-  
cock, making sure it goes on cor-  
rectly and is not cross-threaded.  
Cleaning the filter:  
^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the  
mains supply (switch off at the mains  
socket, pull out the plug , switch off  
the appropriate circuit at the fuse box  
or withdraw the mains fuse).  
^ Turn on the stopcock gradually to test  
for leaks. If there is a leak, the inlet  
hose might not be on securely, or it  
may have been screwed on at an an-  
gle. Unscrew and reconnect the wa-  
ter inlet valve correctly.  
^ Turn off the stopcock.  
^ Unscrew the inlet hose.

Solving problems  
Cleaning the drain pump and  
non-return valve  
If the water has not been pumped away  
at the end of a programme the drain  
pump or the non-return valve might be  
blocked. They are, however, easy to  
clean. Watch out for glass or bone  
splinters which could cause injury.  
^ Take the filter combination out of the  
wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and  
care", "Cleaning the filters in the wash  
cabinet").  
^ Scoop the water out of the cabinet  
using a suitable container.  
^ Raise the locking clamp for the  
non-return valve.  
53

Solving problems  
^ Lift up the non-return valve and rinse  
well under running water.  
The drain pump is situated under the  
non-return valve (see arrow).  
^ Remove all foreign objects from the  
non-return valve.  
^ Remove all foreign objects from the  
drain pump (watch out for glass or  
bone splinters which are particularly  
difficult to detect and could cause in-  
jury). Turn the drain pump impeller by  
hand to check that there are no more  
obstructions.  
^ Carefully replace the non-return valve  
and secure it with the locking clamp.

Transport  
Should you ever need to move the dish-  
washer, e.g. when moving house, note  
the following:  
– Empty the dishwasher,  
– Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses,  
mains cable, cutlery baskets, lower  
basket  
– Transport the dishwasher in the up-  
right position.  
If unavoidable, it may be transported  
on its back.  
Do not transport it on its side or on  
the door as residual water still in the  
appliance will leak out of it.  
This residual water could get into the  
electronic unit and cause a fault.
