Items Not Suitable For Dishwashers - Miele G 879 SCVI Operating And Installation Instructions

Items not suitable for dishwashers

– Cutlery with wooden handles.
– Wooden cutting boards.
– Glued items such as old knives with
handles that are glued together
around the shank of the blade.
– Hand made craft items.
– Copper or tin items.
– Plastic items which are not heat resis-
tant.
Please note:
– Silver or aluminum items may suffer
some discoloration.
– Aluminum parts (eg. oven hood
grease filters) should not be cleaned
using commercial or industrial deter-
gents. These high alkaline deter-
gents may damage the machine,
and in extreme instances, cause ex-
plosive chemical reactions.
– Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may be damp or
spotted at the end of a programme
where water has adhered to the pol-
ish. This can be rubbed off with a
soft, dry cloth. Silver that has pre-
viously been cleaned in an immer-
sion dip is usually dry at the end of a
programme, but may discolor (tarn-
ish).
– Colors on dishware that have been
painted over the glaze may fade
over time.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
– Carefully follow washing and dish-
washer detergent dosing instructions
in soft water areas. Water tempera-
tures above 50° C in combination
with soft water and detergent are ex-
tremely aggressive and will lead to
glassware etching.
Miele recommends:
Scraping, but not pre-rinsing your
dishes.
Using the minimum amount of deter-
gent possible to get the dishes clean.
Washing delicate glassware using
the ECONOMY programme or the
CHINA & CRYSTAL programme (if so
equipped). This will reduce the risk
of clouding.
Since there are no standard guide-
lines for washing all types of glass-
ware, when in doubt, wash by hand.
When purchasing new dishes and
cutlery, make sure they are dish-
washer safe.
