Loading The Dishwasher; Tips - Miele PG 8133 SCVi Operating Instructions Manual

Tips

Remove coarse food residues from the
dishes.
There is no need to rinse items under
running water!

Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, grease, or paint in
the dishwasher. These will damage
the dishwasher.
Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the
baskets, but the following notes should
be observed:
– Do not place dishes or cutlery inside
other pieces. They will cover each
other.
– Load the dishes so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that
they get properly cleaned.
– Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the
basket.
– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.,
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the center of the basket to
ensure better water coverage.
– Concave items such as mugs or
bowls should be placed at an angle
so that the water can run off.
– The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets. If in doubt, test
for free movement by manually rotat-
ing the spray arms.

Loading the dishwasher

– Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the bas-
kets.
Small items, e.g., lids, should there-
fore be placed in the cutlery tray or
cutlery basket (depending on model).
Some foods may contain natural
dyes, e.g., carrots, tomatoes or
tomato sauce. Plastic items in the
dishwasher may discolor if large
quantities of these foodstuffs find
their way into the dishwasher on the
dishes. The stability of plastic items
is not affected by this discoloration.
Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish-
washer may also cause plastic items
to discolor.
