Warnings and safety instructions

Technical safety

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs must only be carried out by a qualified technician.
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.
The electrical safety of the dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly grounded. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate or lack of grounding system (e.g., electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be
assured if it has been connected to the domestic electricity supply.
If the dishwasher is plugged into the domestic electricity supply
using a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact (it must not be hard­wired), the electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the domestic electricity supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher
because the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The
high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the dishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be installed next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters etc., not normally found in a kitchen.
10
Warnings and safety instructions
Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency, and voltage) match the domestic electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the appliance to the electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the domestic electricity supply
until it has been fully installed and any adjustments have been made to the door springs.
The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening
mechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger while the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on the model) is active. To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
- The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door cannot fall open.
- The door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens at the end of the drying phase.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (risk of fire). Do not connect the dishwasher to the domestic electricity supply using a power bar or an extension cord.
The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g., on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
To avoid any damage to the dishwasher, it must only be operated
when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
11
Warnings and safety instructions
The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50 and
1,000kPa.
A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher
gets damaged, turn it off at the electricity supply immediately and contact your Miele dealer or Miele Service.
The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorized service technician.
We recommend replacing defective components with original
spare parts. If original Miele spare parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid.
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher
must be disconnected from the domestic electricity supply (turn it off and withdraw the plug from the socket).
If the power cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a
specific cable of the same type (available from Miele Service). For safety reasons, this must only be done by Miele Service or a service technician authorized by Miele.
Do not sit the dishwasher on the hose. The hose needs to be free
of kinks and able to move freely after installation. Do not place the hose or power cord next to a heat source e.g., hot water pipes. Do not expose the hose or power cord to corrosive substances (e.g., chloride). Damage to the hose or power cord could cause electrical shock or water damage.
This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp (depending on the
model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g., in terms of temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be installed by a Miele authorized technician or by Miele Service.

correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door cannot fall open. The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door springs. If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact Miele Service.
The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the factory fitted door springs is 10–12kg (depending on model).

Correct use

Do not use solvents in the wash cabinet. There is a danger of
explosion.
13
Warnings and safety instructions
Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the
eyes, nose, mouth, and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could
injure yourself on the opened door or trip over it.
Do not sit, stand, or lean on the opened door. The dishwasher
could tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.
Dishware may be very hot at the end of the program. Allow
dishware to cool until it is comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers. Do not use liquid dish soap.
Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may

evaporated salt. Other types of salt may contain insoluble components which can cause the water softener to malfunction.
14
Warnings and safety instructions
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 downwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle down in the basket will come out cleaner and drier.
Plastic items which 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 dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent
compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary. The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.

Accessories and spare parts

Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of your dishwasher.

Transport

Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.
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 power cables.

Select OK to confirm the messages.
The display will change to the Programs menu.
29
Initial commissioning

Reactivation salt

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in a build-up of calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher. Domestic water with a hardness level higher than 5gr/gal (5°dH) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 73gr/gal (70°dH).
In order to be reactivated, the water softener requires reactivation salt. Depending on the water hardness level (<22gr/gal, or <21°dH), reactivation salt may not be required if combination detergents are being used (see “Active ingredients” under “Detergents”).
If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 5gr/gal (5°dH), you do not need to add reactivation salt. The salt refill indicator will automatically turn off after the water hardness has been set accordingly (see “Water hardness” under “Settings”).
Damage to the water softener
from detergent. Dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener. Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Damage caused by using
unsuitable salts. Some types of salt may contain
insoluble components which can cause the water softener to malfunction.
Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt or other pure evaporated salt.
30
If you only ever use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you can turn off both refill reminders if you wish (see “Refill reminders” under “Settings”).
Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid. Turn the refill reminders back on if required.

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2l of water to enable the salt to dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used once, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Initial commissioning
Danger of corrosion due to saline
solution. Water or saline solution will run out
of the salt reservoir when the cap is opened. Salt solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items.
The cap should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir.
Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2l
of water (first use only).
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with reactivation salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds up to 2kg of salt, depending on the type of salt used.
Clean off salt residues from around
the salt reservoir opening. Next, screw the salt reservoir cap on again firmly.
Immediately after filling the salt
reservoir and each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, run the 65°C QuickIntenseWash program with the Express program option selected without wash items in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
31
Initial commissioning

Refilling the salt

Fill the salt reservoir with reactivation
salt when Refill salt and start the
“QuickIntenseWash” program with the “Express” option without a load appears
in the display.
Confirm with OK.
The salt refill indicator will go out.
Danger of corrosion due to saline
solution. Salt solution that runs out can cause
corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items.
Each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, you must run the 65°C QuickIntenseWash program with the Express program option selected without wash items in the dishwasher. This will dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill indicator may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. In this case, still confirm the message again with OK.
The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 5gr/gal (5°dH).
32
Initial commissioning

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on dishware during the drying phase and helps dishware dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the container and the amount set is dispensed automatically.
Liquid dish soap or detergent
can cause damage. Liquid dish soap and detergent can
damage the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill it with rinse aid formulated
for domestic dishwashers.
Alternatively, you could use liquid citric acid at a concentration of up to 10%. The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.
Risk of acid damage.
The dishwasher can be damaged by high concentrations of acid.
Under no circumstances should you use citric acid with a higher acid content.
If you only ever wish to use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid. However, for optimum rinsing and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add reactivation salt and rinse aid separately.
If you only ever use combination detergent products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can turn off both refill reminders if you wish (see “Refill reminders” under “Settings”).
Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid. Turn the refill reminders back on if required.
33
Initial commissioning

Adding rinse aid

Press the yellow button on the lid
of the rinse aid reservoir.
The lid will spring open.
Close the lid firmly until you hear it
click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a program.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring during the next program.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best wash results (see “Rinse aid” under “Settings”).

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

When Refill rinse aid appears in the display, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2–3 programs only.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.Confirm with OK.
The rinse aid refill indicator will go out.
Fill with rinse aid until the filling level
indicator (arrow) changes to a dark colour while the door is horizontally open.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approximately 110ml.

Water hardness

Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener.
- You should program the dishwasher to the correct water hardness for your area.
- Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
- Where the water hardness fluctuates (e.g., between 10-16gr/gal or 10– 15°dH), always program the dishwasher to the higher value (16gr/ gal or 15°dH in this example).
If the water hardness in your area is available in a unit other than °dH, you can convert the values as follows: 1°dH = 1.04gr/gal = 0.18mmol =
1.78°fH

Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. For best results, follow these tips:
- Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing by hand.
- There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water. This would unnecessarily increase water and energy consumption.
- Make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher. This results in the most economical dishwashing in terms of energy and water consumption.
- Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishware being washed (see “Program overview”).
- Select the Normal program for energy-saving dishwashing. This program is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption for cleaning dishware with a normal level of soiling.
- If you are manually dosing the detergent, reduce the amount of
detergent by 1/3 when using powder or liquid detergent if the baskets are only half full.
- If you have a hot water connection, choose the Energy Saver program (see “Water intake” under “Installation”). The wash water will not be heated up during this program.
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on detergent dosage.

Loading the dishwasher

General information

Remove coarse food residues from dishware.
There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water.
Damage can be caused by ash,
sand, wax, lubricating grease, or paint.
These substances will contaminate the dishwasher and can then no longer be removed.
Do not wash items soiled with these substances in the dishwasher.
Dishware can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed:
- Do not place dishware and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be concealed.
- Load dishware so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that dishware will be properly cleaned.
- The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. Test for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms.
- Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the baskets. Small items such as lids should therefore be placed in the 3D MultiFlex Tray or cutlery basket (depending on model).
Some foods such as carrots, tomatoes, or ketchup may contain natural dyes. These dyes can discolour plastic items in the dishwasher if large quantities of these foods are in contact with the dishware inside the machine. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration. Washing silverware can also cause plastic items to discolour.
- Make sure that all items are securely positioned.
- Hollow items such as cups, glasses, and pots should be placed upside down in the baskets.
- Tall, narrow, hollow items such as champagne glasses should be placed in the centre of the basket rather than in the corners. This ensures the hollow items are more easily accessed by the water jets.
- Wide based items should be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely.
54
Loading the dishwasher

Wash items not suitable for dishwashers:

- Wooden cutlery and dishware 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 dishwasher.
- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases, and decorative glassware. Such items are not suitable for dishwashers.
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
- Copper, brass, tin, and aluminum items. These may discolour or become dull.
- Colours painted over a glaze. These may fade after a number of washes.
- Delicate glassware and glassware containing lead crystal. Clouding may occur over time.
Silverware
Silverware that has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolour. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish, and marinades.
Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or
spotted at the end of a program, where water has not run off smoothly.
Damage due to caustic alkaline
detergents. Aluminum parts (e.g., the grease
filters of ventilation hoods) can be damaged by caustic alkaline detergents. In extreme cases, there is a risk of an explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Aluminum components must not be cleaned in the dishwasher with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial detergents.
Useful tip: When purchasing new dishware and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe if you want to wash them in the dishwasher.

Glass care

- Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing. When washing delicate glassware in the dishwasher, ensure that only a special glass-care program with very low temperatures is selected (see “Program overview”). This will reduce the risk of clouding.
- Purchase glassware that is dishwasher-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware).
- Use detergents with glass protective additives.
Useful tip: Rub the silverware dry with a cloth.

Detergent

Active ingredients

Damage caused by using
unsuitable detergents. Detergents that are not suitable for
domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the wash items.
Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are:
- Water softening complexing agents to prevent calcification.
- Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on soiling.
- Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein.
- Oxygen-based bleaching agents to remove coloured stains (e.g., tea, coffee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents are mildly alkaline and contain enzymes and oxygen-based bleaching agents.
There are different types of detergent:
- Powder and liquid gel detergents. These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the amount of wash items and the level of soiling.
- Tab detergents. These are suitable for most levels of soiling.
As well as the usual detergents, combination products are also available. These contain rinse aid and water softener (reactivation salt). Only use these combination detergents for the water hardness levels recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. The cleaning and drying performance of these combination detergents can vary greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add salt and rinse aid separately.

Risk of chemical burns from
detergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause
burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat.
Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
Keep children away from detergents. Detergent residues could still be present in the machine. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Do not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the program and activate the door child lock (depending on model).

Detergent dispensing

There are 2 ways of dispensing the detergent.
During automatic dispensing, the AutoDos function will automatically dispense the required amount of detergent for each program sequence once a PowerDisk has been inserted (see “Automatic dispensing/AutoDos” under “Detergent”).
If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you can manually dispense the detergent into the detergent compartment. This means you will have to fill the required amount of detergent into the detergent compartment before each program (see “Manual detergent dispensing” under “Detergent”).
67
Detergent
Automatic dispensing/AutoDos
Before you can use AutoDos, you must insert a PowerDisk containing powder detergent into the PowerDisk compartment.
One PowerDisk contains enough detergent for approx. 20rinse cycles, depending on the chosen program.
PowerDisks are available to order directly from Miele’s online store, Miele Service, or from your Miele dealer.
Risk of chemical burns from
residual detergent. Detergents have a caustic effect.
This can cause health problems and damage to surfaces. If the AutoDos is used incorrectly or leaks, residual detergent may drip onto the floor area in front of the dishwasher.
Always remove residual detergent from in front of the dishwasher immediately.

Activating AutoDos

Turn the dishwasher on using the
sensor button.
Before you first use AutoDos, remove
the transport lock from the PowerDisk compartment and dispose of it appropriately.
Insert a PowerDisk (see “Inserting a
PowerDisk” under “Automatic dispensing/AutoDos”).
The AutoDos function will be activated automatically.
This setting applies to all programs and you can change it in a program’s Extra options menu.
If no program is started for 48hours, the PowerDisk will automatically be rotated so that the detergent does not clump together. If this happens, the message Powder refresh in progress will be shown in the display when the dishwasher is turned on. No detergent will be dispensed.
68

Inserting a PowerDisk

Turn on the dishwasher before you replace the PowerDisk so that the dishwasher recognizes it.
Only replace the PowerDisk when the message PowerDisk empty. Deactivate
AutoDos with OK. appears.
Turn the AutoDos lid to and open
it.
The message AutoDos lid open will appear on the display.
Remove the empty PowerDisk.
Detergent
If the arrows in the PowerDisk holder
and in the viewing window are not pointing toward each other, remove the PowerDisk holder (see “Cleaning the AutoDos” under “Cleaning and care”).
Put the holder back into place so that
the arrows point toward each other and the holder lies flat. When doing this, only touch the PowerDisk holder by the yellow tab in the middle. Do not touch the side tab.
Insert the new PowerDisk and press it
evenly downward until it sits flush.
69
Detergent
Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until
the lid handle is directly below the symbol.
If the PowerDisk is not in the correct starting position, it will be rotated automatically and the AutoDos function will be activated. Wait until this procedure ends before you start a program.
The detergent powder must be dry so that it does not clump together.
Do not fill the AutoDos with any type of fluid.
In order to ensure that the AutoDos works at its best, check it each time you replace the PowerDisk and clean it if needed (see “Cleaning the AutoDos” under “Cleaning and care”).
The AutoDos lid must be closed to prevent damage to the AutoDos.
Always close the AutoDos lid before you close the dishwasher door. Otherwise, the AutoDos may become damaged.
Programs cannot start when the AutoDos lid is open.
70
Detergent

Manual detergent dispensing

Detergent must be manually dispensed if you have deactivated AutoDos in a program’s Extra options menu.

Detergent dispensing

The detergent compartment holds a maximum of 50ml.
There are marks in the detergent compartment to aid with dispensing: 20, 30, max. When the door is opened to a horizontal position, they show the approximate fill level in ml and the maximum fill height.
Follow the detergent dosage
recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 30ml of detergent to the detergent compartment, depending on the level of soiling of the dishware.

Adding detergent

Press the yellow button on the lid
of the detergent compartment.
The lid will spring open. The lid will also open at the end of a program.
If you use less than the recommended amount of detergent, the dishware may not get properly clean.
Some tabs may not dissolve completely when the program QuickIntenseWash is used.
Add the detergent to the detergent
compartment.
Push the lid shut until you hear it click
into place.
71
Detergent
The detergent must not cause the detergent-compartment lid to get stuck. This can prevent the lid from opening during the program.
Do not overfill the detergent compartment.
If you wish, deactivate automatic
dispensing/AutoDos.
Ensure that the detergent packaging
is properly closed after use. This prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together.
You can also apply a small amount of
detergent to the inner panel of the door in programs that have a pre­rinse stage (see “Program overview”).
72

Cleaning and care

Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4–6months). This way, faults and problems can be avoided.
Damage caused by unsuitable
cleaning agents. All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour all surfaces.
Only use cleaning agents formulated for use on the relevant surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self­cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.
The frequent use of low-temperature wash programs (<50°C) increases the risk of contamination and odours inside the wash cabinet. Run the Pots & Pans program once per month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odours from developing.
However, if residues such as limescale or grease have been deposited, use the
Clean Machine program to clean the
dishwasher (see “Additional programs” under “Program overview”) with dishwasher cleaner (see “Appliance care” under “Optional accessories”). Follow the instructions on the product packaging.
Miele cleaning and care products are available to order from Miele Service or from Miele’s online store.
88
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Cleaning and care

Hygiene cycle

If you mainly use low-temperature programs, there is a risk of bacteria and unpleasant odours building up in the wash cabinet. If you repeatedly use low-temperature programs, you should regularly run a high-temperature program. This is to prevent the build-up of residues and odours.
You can activate or deactivate a Hygiene info message (see “Settings – Hygiene cycle”). If you deactivate this message, run the Intensive75°Cprogram once per month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odours from developing.

Cleaning the door and the door seal

The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a result, mould can develop here.
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe off any food or drink residues
which may have dripped onto the sides of the dishwasher door before closing it.

Cleaning the control panel

The control panel should only be
wiped with a damp cloth.

Cleaning the appliance front

Damage due to soiling.
Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Clean the front with a clean sponge
and a solution of hot water and dish soap. After cleaning, wipe the front dry using a soft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth without cleaning agent can also be used for cleaning.
89
Cleaning and care
To avoid damage to the outer surface, do not use:
- cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acid or chloride
- cleaning agents containing lime scale remover
- abrasive cleaning agents, such as scouring powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones
- cleaning agents containing solvents
- stainless steel cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaners
- oven cleaners
- glass cleaners
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g., pot scourers, brushes, or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents
- eraser sponges
- sharp metal scrapers
- steel wool
- steam cleaners

The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution. This prevents soiling getting into the circulation system and re-entering the wash cabinet through the spray arms.
Damage due to soiling entering
the circulation system. Without filters, soiling can enter the
circulation system and cause a blockage.
Do not run a wash program without the lower spray arm or without the filters.
When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.
Filters can become blocked by soiling which collects over time. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.
