[. . . ] Your Miele dishwasher is designed to shut off the water flow and drain the machine in the rare event of a valve failure. In order for this function to be active, the door must be shut, a temperature must be selected, and the program knob must be in the "End" (12 o'clock) position. Select the desired temperature, or the "RINSE & HOLD" program. The wash program will begin. 32 Operating the dishwasher Program sequence indication. During the wash program, the program knob will move around the dial and show which section of the wash cycle has been reached. ­ Pre-wash (not shown) ­ Main wash ­ Interim rinse ­ Final rinse ­ Drying The dial will remain stationary during the heating stages of the wash and rinse cycles, until the required temperatures have been reached. When the program has been completed, the dial will be in the "End" position. The dishwasher can now be opened and unloaded. If the dishes are not immediately needed, leaving the door closed will allow the fan to run a few minutes longer to remove any remaining moisture. The "RINSE & HOLD" program has been completed when the program dial stops just before the starting point of the "INTENSIVE" program. Program interruption A program is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again, the program will proceed from its previous position. Warning The water in the dishwasher may be hot, and steam may be present!Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. The danger of burns and scalding exists. Once the door has been opened, allow 20-30 seconds for the internal temperature to equalize before closing it again, and make sure it clicks into place. 33 Operating the dishwasher Unloading the dishwasher Dishes tend to break and chip easier when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool down until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them. If the door is opened at the end of the drying cycle, the dishes will cool much faster. Unload the lower basket first, then the upper basket and cutlery tray (if so equipped). This will prevent water drops from the upper basket or cutlery tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket. 34 Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet. The combination filter in the base of the wash cabinet should be regularly inspected and cleaned as necessary. Any broken glass or dishware should be removed immediately upon discovery. Use caution when cleaning the filters, non-return valve or drain pump, as glass or bone splinters may be caught in the bottom of the wash cabinet. Turn the handle counterclockwise to release the filters. Lift the combination filter out of the machine. Remove any coarse particles and rinse it under running water. A nylon brush can be used, if necessary. 35 Cleaning and care Turn the combination filter over and open the coarse filter cover by pulling back on the locking tab. [. . . ] If the hose is too long, coil it neatly and place it behind the machine. 63 Plumbing Drain system specifications: The machine comes equipped with: ­ A 5 ft. long (1. 5 m) flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm). ­ A built-in swivel connector which allows the drain hose to be routed in any direction. ­ A built in non-return valve on the discharge side to prevent waste water from flowing back into the dishwasher.
