3. Operating Instructions
The Miele PowerDisk works in conjunction with your dishwasher's AutoDos system to provide optimal cleaning without manual detergent addition for each cycle.
- Automatic Dispensing: The AutoDos system automatically dispenses the correct amount of PowerDisk detergent based on the selected program and the level of soiling. This eliminates the need to manually add detergent for up to 20 wash cycles.
- Program Selection: Select your desired wash program on your Miele dishwasher as usual. The AutoDos system will integrate the detergent dispensing into the chosen cycle.
- Monitoring Usage: Your dishwasher may provide indicators or notifications when the PowerDisk is nearing empty, prompting you to replace it.
For detailed information on specific wash programs and their interaction with AutoDos, please refer to your Miele dishwasher's main instruction manual.
4. Maintenance and Care
The Miele PowerDisk is designed for minimal maintenance. The primary maintenance task is replacing the disk when it is empty.
- Replacement: Replace the PowerDisk when the dishwasher indicates it is empty, typically after approximately 20 wash cycles. Follow the setup instructions in Section 2 for replacement.
- Storage: Store new PowerDisks in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain their effectiveness.
- Dispenser Cleaning: Periodically inspect the AutoDos dispenser for any residue buildup. If necessary, gently wipe the dispenser area with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Important Note: The PowerDisk contains powdered detergent. Avoid direct contact with eyes and skin. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
