Miele G848 - Manual (Page 11)

Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time,
please note the following.
Setting the water softener
The water softener must be set to corre-
spond to the water hardness in your
area. The water hardness can be deter-
mined by calling your local water com-
pany, or by using a test kit that can be
purchased from the Miele Technical
service Department.
The salt reservoir must only be filled
with water and salt. Never fill it with de-
tergent.
Adding rinse aid
Accidentally filling the rinse aid reser-
voir with detergent will damage the
reservoir.
Only use detergents and rinse aids for-
mulated for domestic dishwashers.
Choose the correct program
Wash programs should be selected de-
pending on load size and degree of
soiling. See the Program Chart for pro-
gram descriptions.
Add correct detergent amount
Generally, 1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of
detergent is enough for most normally
soiled loads. Not enough or too much
detergent can lead to poor wash re-
sults. See “Adding detergent”.
Cleaning results vary among detergent
brands. If you are not satisfied with the
wash results, try another brand of de-
tergent.
Load dishes correctly
Load dishes so that water can reach all
surfaces. Check that the spray arms
are not blocked by tall or large items. If
necessary, manually rotate the spray
arms to check clearance.
The combination filter in the base of
the wash cabinet and the spray arms
must be kept clean.
These should be regularly inspected
and cleaned.
See the “Cleaning and care” section for
more detailed information.
Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water re-
maining in the machine is from
these tests and does not indicate
that the machine has been used.
