Loading The Dishwasher - Miele G 686 Operating Instructions Manual

Loading the dishwasher

Note
Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.
There is no need to rinse items under
running water.
Do not wash items soiled with ash,
sand, wax, lubricating grease or
paint in the dishwasher.
Ash does not dissolve and is dis-
tributed in the wash cabinet. Wax,
sand, lubricating grease and paint
cause damage to the dishwasher.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in
the baskets, but the following notes
should be observed:
Do not place crockery and cutlery in-
side other pieces where they may be
concealed.
Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures
that it is 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. cham-
pagne glasses, should be placed in
the centre of the basket to ensure
better water coverage.
Loading the dishwasher
Deep-based items should be placed
at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.
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 rotating the spray arms.
Make sure that small items do not fall
through the holders in the baskets.
Small items, e.g. lids, should there-
fore be placed in the cutlery tray or
cutlery basket.
Some foodstuffs may contain natu-
ral dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup. Plastic items in the dish-
washer may discolour if large quan-
tities of these foodstuffs find their
way into the appliance on the croc-
kery. The stability of plastic items is
not affected by this discolouration.
When the dishwasher is being
loaded food and drink residue may
drip onto the sides of the dish-
washer door. These surfaces do not
belong to the wash cabinet and are
not accessed by water from the
spray arms. Food residue should
therefore be wiped away before the
dishwasher door is closed.
