Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity. For best results follow these tips:
The dishwasher can internally heat water to the temperatures required by the wash program. This capability allows the option of connecting the machine to either a hot or cold water source.
^ For lowest energy consumption and the gentlest washing of china and crystal, connect the dishwasher to a cold water source.
^ For fastest possible wash times, yet higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source.
^ For most economical dishwashing make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher.
^ Choose the program to suit the type of dishware being washed and the degree of soiling.
^ Select the Economy 55° C/130° F program for energy saving dishwashing.
^ Use the correct amounts of detergent.
^ Only use 2/3 of the amount of detergent if baskets are only half full.

Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time, please note the following.
Setting the water softener
The water softener must be set to correspond to the water hardness in your area. The water hardness can be determined by calling your local water company, or by using a test kit that can be purchased from the Miele Technical service Department.
The salt reservoir must only be filled with water and salt. Never fill it with detergent.
Add correct detergent amount
Generally, 1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of detergent is enough for most normally soiled loads. Not enough or too much detergent can lead to poor wash results. See “Adding detergent”.
Cleaning results vary among detergent brands. If you are not satisfied with the wash results, try another brand of detergent.
Load dishes correctly
Load dishes so that water can reach all surfaces. Check that the spray arms are not blocked by tall or large items. If necessary, manually rotate the spray arms to check clearance.
Adding rinse aid
Accidentally filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only use detergents and rinse aids formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Choose the correct program
Wash programs should be selected depending on load size and degree of soiling. See the Program Chart for program descriptions.
The combination filter in the base of the wash cabinet and the spray arms must be kept clean.
These should be regularly inspected and cleaned.
See the “Cleaning and care” section for more detailed information.
Every dishwasher is tested before leaving the factory. Any water remaining in the machine is from these tests and does not indicate that the machine has been used.

12
Before using for the first time
Water softener
To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard water results in the build up of calcium deposits on dishes and in the dishwasher.
If your tap water hardness is above
8 gr/gal (140 ppm), the water should be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener.
– The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
– The dishwasher must be programmed to correspond to the water hardness in your area.
– Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
If your tap water hardness is consistently lower than 8 gr/gal (= 140 ppm) do not add dishwasher salt. However, the dishwasher must still be programmed to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
(e. g. 9 - 17 gr/gal) always program the machine to the higher value (in this example 17 gr/gal).
If there is a fault, it will help the service technician to know the hardness of your tap water.
^ Enter the water hardness below: gr/gal (ppm)
13
Before using for the first time
Programming and setting the water hardness level
Your water hardness level must be programmed into the machine using the buttons on the control panel. The water hardness level selector in the wash cabinet is then also set to the water hardness level in your area.
Programming and changing the water hardness level
^ Turn off the dishwasher with the
“On/Off” button.
^ Turn the program selector to “Stop”.
^ Hold the “Start” button in and at the same time turn the dishwasher on with the “On/Off” button. Release the
“Start” button within 2 seconds.
The “Salt” indicator flashes.
Note:
If any other indicator lights flash or light the process must be repeated.
Except:
If the “Rinse aid” indicator flashes or lights then rinse aid was never added or needs to be refilled.

16
Before using for the first time
Filling the salt reservoir
If your water hardness level is greater than 8 gr/gal, the salt reservoir should be filled before the first use and when the “Salt” indicator lights. Only use water softener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm grain size); other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener.
The salt reservoir holds approximately
4 lbs (2 kg) of salt.
Before using for the first time
To fill the salt reservoir:
^ Remove the lower basket.
^ Unscrew and remove the salt reservoir cap.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener.
Make sure that only water softener reactivation salt of the proper grain size is used.
Before adding salt for the first time, fill the reservoir with approximately
2 quarts (2 l) of water.
^ Place the provided funnel over the salt reservoir.
^ Carefully fill with salt, grain size of
1 - 4 mm. The salt reservoir holds approximately 4 lbs (2 kg) of salt depending of the brand used. As it is filled, water will run out.
^ Clean any excess salt from the threads of the reservoir opening.
^ Screw the cap on firmly.
If the dishwasher will not be used immediately after reactivation, run the
“Rinse & Hold” program. This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.
17
Before using for the first time
Salt indicator
When the salt reservoir is empty, the
“Salt-PC” indicator will light, indicating that it should be refilled with reactivation salt.
Bypassing the Salt indicator
To bypass the salt indicator, you will need a screwdriver and needle nose pliers.
^ Remove the salt reservoir cap.
Looking into the salt reservoir, you will see the top of the float chamber on the right hand side b
.
After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is started. The “Softener” indicator will light during this process.
Note:
If your water is soft (below 8 gr/gal) the salt reservoir should not be filled with salt. The indicator will remain lit and should be disregarded or deactivated.
The “Salt-PC” indicator has also been designed so that future program updates can be entered into the dishwasher. See the “After Sales Service”.
^ Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot the float chamber towards the center of the reservoir.
^ Using needle nose pliers, pull off the cap c from the float chamber and remove the float d
.
^ Replace the float chamber cap, push the chamber back into its upright position, and replace the salt reservoir cap. The indicator should now remain off.
18
Before using for the first time
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is recommended to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware that normally occurs during the drying cycle.
Filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.
Adding rinse aid
^ Add rinse aid before the first use and when ever the “Rinse aid” indicator lights.
^ Press the button in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
19
Before using for the first time
Rinse aid indicator
The rinse aid indicator on the control panel will light when the rinse aid reservoir needs refilling.
^ Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir until it is visible on the surface of the screen. Do not refill until the “Rinse aid” indicator lights.
Only use rinse aid labeled for residential dishwashers. Inadvertently adding detergent to the rinse aid dispenser will damage the dispenser.
^ Press on the flap until you hear it click shut. Failure to close it all the way will allow water to enter the reservoir during the wash program.
^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid.
The flap will remain closed during normal operation.
There will be enough rinse aid left for
2 - 3 washes after it first lights.
20
Setting the dosage
Before using for the first time
The dosage selector is preset to 3. This dispenses approximately 3 ml of rinse aid per program. It can be adjusted from 1 to 6, depending on your needs.
^ Use a higher setting if spots appear on dry glassware.
^ Use a lower setting if streaking appears on dishes or glasses.
21
Loading the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Do not wash items soiled with ash, wax, grease or paint in the dishwasher.
Ash does not dissolve and will be distributed through out the inside of the dishwasher. Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration or damage to the dishwasher.
^ Scrape food from dishes before placing in the dishwasher but, do not rinse dishes.
^ Load dishes so that water can reach all surfaces.
^ Do not place dishes and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be hidden.
^ Hollow items such as cups and glasses should be inverted and placed in the upper basket.
^ Concave based items should be placed at an angle on top of the coffee bar, so that water does not pool.
^ To ensure good water coverage tall, narrow, hollow pieces should be placed in the center of the basket, rather than in the corners.
^ Small cups and glasses should be placed on the cup racks. Taller mugs and glasses can be placed underneath the rack.
^ The spray arms must not be blocked by items that are too tall or hang through the baskets. Check clearance by manually rotating the spray arms.
Some food may contain natural dyes that can discolor plastics in the dishwasher (e.g. carrots, tomatoes, ketchup, etc.). The stability of plastic items are not affected by this discoloration.

– Hand made craft items, antique or decorative glassware.
– Copper, brass or tin.
– Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
Please note:
– Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.
– Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may be damp or spotted at the end of a program where water has adhered to the polish. This can be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth.
Silver that has been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may tarnish.
– If let to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, legumes, fish, fish brine and marinades.
– Color painted over the glaze of dishes may fade over time.
– Clouding or etching may occur on glasses after frequent washing.
Miele recommends:
– Wash delicate glassware using the
“Economy” program or the “China &
Crystal” program to reduce the risk of clouding.
– There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware but, when in doubt wash by hand.
– When purchasing new dishes and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe.
– If crystal or delicate glasses will be washed frequently, connect the dishwasher to cold, rather than hot water.

Adding detergent
Only use powder detergents or tablets formulated for residential dishwashers. Do not use gels or liquid detergents.
^ Press the latch on the detergent dispenser. The cover will spring open.
^ Close the cover. The cover will always be open at the end of a wash program (except “Rinse & Hold” ).
Generally, filling the dispenser with
1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of detergent is enough for most normally soiled loads.
For heavily soiled loads, or if food has dried on the dishes, a program containing a prewash cycle should be selected. Add an extra tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent to compartment I, or place directly on the inner door panel.
Dishwasher detergents contain irritant and corrosive ingredients. They can cause burns in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergent and from the dishwasher when the door is open.
To prevent children from coming into contact with dishwasher detergent, do not fill the detergent dispenser until you are ready to start the dishwasher.
Capacities:
Compartment I (prewash) holds a maximum of 3/4 ounce (20 ml) and Compartment II (main wash) holds a maximum of 2 3/4 ounces (70 ml) when completely filled. The horizontal marks in Compartment II indicate levels of approximately 3/4, 1, and 1 1/4 ounces
(20, 25 and 30 ml) respectively.
^ Fill the dispenser with 1 ½ tablespoons of powder detergent, or place a detergent tablet into compartment II.

Solving problems
Cleaning the water intake filter
A filter is incorporated in the intake hose attached to the dishwasher’s shutoff valve. If your water is hard, or the pipes contain sediment; this filter may clog and prevent enough water from entering the wash cabinet. It can be cleaned as follows:
The plastic valve housing on the intake hose contains electrical components and should not be immersed, or run through water.
Cleaning the filter:
Disconnect the dishwasher from electricity (unplug it or “trip” the circuit breaker).
^ Turn off the main shutoff valve and unscrew the intake hose.
^ Carefully remove the rubber seal.
^ Remove the filter using needle nose pliers and rinse under running water.
^ Return the filter and seal. Make sure they are seated correctly.
^ Screw the intake hose back on the water valve, checking that it is not cross-threaded.
^ Slowly turn on the valve and test for leaks.
Installing an in-line water filter.
^ If your water contains a large number of insoluble substances, a filter between the valve and the intake hose connection is recommended. These filters can be purchased from the
Miele Technical Service Department.
47
Solving problems
Checking the water level
If the water pressure is less than 15 psi, not enough water will flow into the wash cabinet.
^ To check the water level, open the water valve completely and run the
“Rinse & Hold” program once (without dishes), to bring water into the system.
^ Run, the “Rinse & Hold” program again. After approximately 3 minutes, open the door and remove the lower basket from the machine.
The water level is correct when dimensions “X” is at least 1/8” (4 mm).
If it measures less, the water intake time must be increased (see the following page).
48
Solving problems

^ Turn off the dishwasher using the
“On/Off” button.
^ Turn the program selector to “Stop”
^ Press the “Start” button while simultaneously turning on the machine with the “On/Off” button. Release the
“Start” button within 2 seconds.
The “Salt-PC” indicator should be flashing.
^ Turn the program selector to
“Economy 55°C/130°F”.
– If the “Start” indicator does not light, the water intake time is set to normal.
– If the “Start” indicator lights the extended water intake time is set.
^ To change the setting, press the
“Start” button.
The “Start” indicator will light or go out each time the button is pressed.
^ Turn the program selector to “Stop”.
^ Turn off the dishwasher with the
“On/Off” button.
The modified intake time is now stored.

To clean them:
^ Remove the combination filter.
^ Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out of the wash cabinet.
^ Tilt the locking clamp to the side.
50
Solving problems
^ Pull out the non-return valve.
^ Rinse the non-return valve under running water.
The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow).
^ Before returning the non-return valve, check to make sure that the drain pump is not obstructed. Spin the propeller several times in both directions; it should turn smoothly.
^ Carefully refit the non-return valve and secure it with the locking clamp.
^ Refit and secure the combination filter.
