Before Using For The First Time - Miele G 690 Operating Instructions Manual

Before using for the first time

Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time please
note the following points:
See the relevant chapters for detailed
information on the points below.
Setting the water softener
The water softener unit must be set to
deal with the water hardness level in
your area.
The salt reservoir must also first be
filled with water and then with dish-
washer salt. Never fill with dishwasher
powder detergent.
Filling the salt reservoir with deter-
gent by mistake will always damage
the water softener. Please check
every time before refilling that the
package contains dishwasher salt.
Add rinse aid
Only use rinse aid formulated for do-
mestic dishwashers.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir
with powder or liquid detergent, or wash-
ing up liquid, will damage the reservoir.
Do not use washing up liquid
Only use detergent formulated for do-
mestic dishwashers.
Load the crockery correctly
Load the crockery so that water will come
into contact with all surfaces. This en-
sures that they will be properly cleaned.
The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall for the bas-
ket or which hang through. If necessary
manually rotate the spray arms to test.

Add the correct amount of detergent
Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on how much deter-
gent to use. Not using enough will lead
to poor wash results.
The amount to dispense will depend on
the type of detergent and programme
selected.
Read the notes on dosage given in the
programme chart.
Cleaning results may vary from brand
to brand. If you are not satisfied with
the results from one brand try another
quality brand before contacting the
Customer Service department for advice.
It is important to choose the correct
programme
The NORMAL programme and the
UNIVERSAL programmes are ideally
suited to everyday loads. See the pro-
gramme chart for descriptions of other
programmes.
When the dishwasher is run for the
first time the programme selected
will not start for approx. 7 minutes.
During these 7 minutes the "Reacti-
vate" (Regenerate) programme step
is carried out and the "Reactivate"
indicator light illuminates.
The filter combination in the base of
the wash cabinet and the spray arms
must be kept clean.
These should be regularly inspected
and cleaned if necessary.
