Caring for the environment

Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity. For best results follow these tips:

^ 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.

^ If the dishwasher is connected to hot water, select "Energy Saver" when washing light to normally soiled dishware. The water will not be heated, therefore the dishes may be more wet at the end of this program than when using other programs.

^ Make full use of the baskets without overloading for the most economical washing.

^ Use the correct amount of detergent and rinse aid.

^ When using powder or gel detergent reduce the amount to

Before using for the first time

Water softener

Every dishwasher is tested before leaving the factory. Any water remaining in the machine is from the final factory test and does not indicate that the machine has been used.

Checking the water hardness

The water hardness measured by the sensor can be displayed.

See "Settings

J - Water hardness".

To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard water results in calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher.

If your tap water hardness is above 4 °d

(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be softened. This takes place automatically in the unit’s integrated water softener.

– The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.

If using "Tab" products which include salt, you should still add salt to the machine to achieve optimal cleaning results.

External water softener

If the dishwasher is connected to an external water softener unit which is regenerated with salt, the water hardness must be set in the dishwasher.

^ Set the dishwasher to the water hardness of the external water softener. See "Settings

J - External water softener".

If the hardness of your local supply is constantly lower than 4 °d (4 gr/gal

[US]), you do not need to add water

softener salt. The "

Refill salt

" indicator will turn itself off automatically.

14

Before using for the first time

Filling the salt container

,

Inadvertently filling the salt container with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener.

,

Only use water softener salt specially formulated for dishwashers. Other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener.

^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt container lid.

When opening the salt container, water will run out. Open the container only to refill salt.

Important: The salt container must be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water

before adding salt for the first

time. Water does not have to be added with subsequent refills.

^ Place the provided funnel over the salt container. Carefully fill with salt.

The salt container holds approx.

4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it is filled, water will run out.

^ Clean any excess salt from the threads of the container opening.

Screw the lid on firmly.

^ If the dishwasher will not be used immediately, run the "Express" program (without the "Turbo" function). This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.

Salt refill message

^ When the display shows

Insufficient salt

, refill the salt after the program has finished.

^ Confirm with

OK

.

The message will clear from the display.

After the container has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is started. The

Insufficient salt message will show again during this process. Confirm again with

OK

.

15

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware.

The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir and the set amount will be automatically dosed.

,

Filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir.

Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.

When using "Tab" detergents rinse aid is not needed.

Adding rinse aid

^ Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir until it is visible on the surface of the screen.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.

3.7 oz (110 ml).

^ Press on the flap until you hear it click shut. Failure to close it all the way allows water to enter the reservoir during the wash program.

^ Clean any spilled rinse aid. The flap will remain closed during normal operation.

^ Press the button in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

To optimize the wash result, the rinse aid dosage can be adjusted. See

"Settings

J - Rinse aid".

16

Rinse aid refill message

When the

Insufficient rinse aid message first comes on, there will be enough rinse aid left for 2 - 3 washes.

^ Refill rinse aid after the program has finished.

If the "Tab" function is selected, the

Insufficient rinse aid message will not come on. See "Settings

J -

Detergent".

^ Confirm with

OK

.

The

Insufficient rinse aid message will clear from the display.

Before using for the first time

17

Loading the dishwasher

,

Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in the dishwasher.

Ash and sand do not dissolve and will be distributed throughout the inside of the dishwasher.

Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration and damage to the dishwasher.

^ Scrape food from dishes before placing them in the dishwasher, rinsing is not necessary.

^ Some foods contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items may discolor permanently if they come in contact with food dyes.

^ All items can be placed anywhere in the baskets.

^ Load dishes so that water can reach all surfaces. Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces.

^ Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

^ Hollow items such as cups and glasses should be placed upside down in the baskets.

^ To ensure good water coverage, tall, narrow and hollow items, i.e. vases or champagne glasses, should be placed in the center of the basket rather than in the corners.

^ Concave based items such as mugs or bowls, should be placed at an angle so that water does not pool.

^ 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.

^ Place very small items in the cutlery tray or basket so they do not fall to the bottom of the wash cabinet.

^ Food residue and spilled liquids should be cleaned from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms.

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated into the intake hose attached to the dishwasher’s shut off valve. If your water is hard or the pipes contain sediment, this filter may clog and prevent enough water from entering the wash cabinet.

,

The plastic housing of the water connection contains electrical wiring.

Do not cut the intake hose or submerge it in liquid.

Installing an in-line water filter

If your water contains a large number of insoluble substances, a filter between the water valve and the intake hose connection is recommended. These filters can be purchased from Miele.

Cleaning the filter

Installation Instructions

For installation of the dishwasher please refer to the Installation Sheet supplied with these instructions.

Electrical connection

,

Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for unauthorized work.

Check that the voltage, frequency and fuse rating shown on the data plate match the household mains supply.

The power outlet must be accessible after installation. Do not use an extension cord to connect the dishwasher to the mains. Danger of overheating! See data plate on the right side of the door.

,

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

If there is any question concerning the proper electrical connection or grounding of this appliance to the power supply, please consult a licensed electrician or call Miele’s

Technical Service Department:

U 1-800-999-1360

V 1-800-565-6435

A damaged power cord must only be replaced with a genuine Miele cord by a Miele service technician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

GROUNDED.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Specifications

The dishwasher comes equipped with a

4 ft (1.2 m) power cord with a molded plug for connection to 120 V, 60 Hz,

15 A grounded receptacle.

74

Plumbing

Waterproof system

All Miele dishwashers have a safety valve located on the incoming water line and a sealed underside with a water sensor.

If a fault occurs, the water intake is stopped and the drain pump is activated.

Water damage, if any, is minimized.

Providing the dishwasher was installed correctly by a Miele technician, the waterproof system will protect you from water damage throughout the lifetime of the machine.

Connection to the water supply

,

Do not drink water from the dishwasher!

– The dishwasher can heat its own water to the temperature required by the wash program. This allows for connection of the machine to either a hot or cold water source. For lowest energy consumption connect the dishwasher to a cold water source. For fastest possible wash times, with slightly higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source. All programs use hot water in the rinse cycles.

– To use the "Energy Saver" program, a hot water connection of minimum

115°F / 45°C and maximum 140°F /

60°C (water intake temperature) is necessary.

The higher the water intake temperature, the better the cleaning and drying results.

– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.

(1.5m) long. A 5 ft. (1.5m) extension hose is available from Miele.

– The water inlet hose comes equipped with a 3/4" female hose thread connector. This can be directly connected to a water supply with 3/4"

MHT (male hose thread ends).

– Water pressure: Must be between 4.5 -

145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).

If the water pressure is lower, the display shows Water intake see "Frequently asked questions".

With high water intake pressure, a reducing valve must be used.

,

To prevent damage to the dishwasher, it must only be connected to a fully vented drainage system.

Do not cut the intake hose. It contains electrical wiring. If the hose is cut, the dishwasher will not work. There will be a water leak and you could be injured.

If the hose is too long, coil it neatly and place it behind the machine.

75

Plumbing

Drainage

– The machine comes equipped with a built-in non-return valve on the discharge side to prevent waste water from flowing back into the dishwasher.

– The dishwasher is equipped with a

5 ft (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).

– Drain hose extensions and adapters can be ordered from Miele.

The maximum drain hose length is

13 ft. (4 m), max. drain height: 39"

(1 m).

– If the hose is to be directly fitted to the drainage outlet on site, use the supplied hose clip (see assembly plan).

– The hose can be installed to the left or right side.

– The existing drain pipe for the drain hose is designed for various hose diameters. The drain pipe must be shortened if the drain pipe extends too far into the drain hose. The drain hose could get clogged.

– The drain hose must not be shortened.

,

Make sure the hose is installed without kinking, pressure or being pulled.

Venting the drainage system

If the dishwasher drain hose is connected to a floor drain or to a drain pipe that is less than 8" (20 cm) above the floor, the drain must be vented.

Otherwise the water inside the dishwasher may siphon out during the wash program.

^ Open the dishwasher door and remove the lower basket.

^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove.

^ Cut off the vent cap located at the right rear of the triple filter system, as illustrated.
