[. . . ] ­ Hand made craft items, antique or decorative glassware. ­ Plastic items that are not heat resistant. Please note: ­ Silver or aluminum items may tarnish. ­ 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. This can be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth. Silver that has been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may tarnish. ­ If let to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, legumes, fish, fish brine and marinades. ­ Color painted over the glaze of dishes may fade over time. ­ 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. Do not use gels or liquid detergents. ^ Close the cover. 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. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant and corrosive ingredients. 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. [. . . ] ^ Tilt the locking clamp to the side. 50 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. Spin the propeller several times in both directions; it should turn smoothly. [. . . ]
