To open the door
Before using for the first time
To close the door
^ Push the baskets in.
^ Lift the door and push until it clicks into position.

Instructions on how to open the dishwasher if a door panel has not yet been installed can be found in the Installation Instructions.
13
Before using for the first time
Water softener
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
8 gr/gal (values are in US gallons)
(140 ppm), the water should be softened. This takes place automatically in the unit’s integrated water softener.
– Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
– The dishwasher must be programmed to correspond with the water hardness in your area.
– The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
If your water hardness is consistently lower than 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you do not need to add dishwasher salt.
However, the dishwasher must still be programmed to correspond with the local water hardness.
Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 9 - 17 gr/gal (160 - 310 ppm), always program the machine to the higher value, 17 gr/gal (310 ppm) in this example.
If there is a fault, it will help the service technician to know the hardness of your local water supply.
^ Please note your water hardness: gr/gal
14
Before using for the first time

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 salt specially formulated for dishwashers. Other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener.
The proper salt can be purchased from your Miele dealer or Miele.
To fill the salt reservoir:
^ Remove the lower basket.
^ Unscrew and remove the salt reservoir cap located on the floor of the wash cabinet.
^ Place the provided funnel over the salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir 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.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener.
^ Carefully fill with salt. The salt reservoir holds approximately 4.5 lbs
(2 kg) of salt. 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, 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
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 bypassed.
^ Remove the salt reservoir cap.
Looking into the salt reservoir, you will see the top of the float chamber on the right hand side, a.
After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is started. The "Salt" indicator will be lit during this process.
^ Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot the float chamber towards the center of the reservoir.
^ Using needle nose pliers, pull the cap, b, off of the float chamber, and remove the float, c.
Replace the float chamber cap, push the chamber back into its upright position, and replace the salt reservoir cap. The "Salt" indicator should no longer be lit.

The middle spray arm also directs water downwards, so lightly soiled plates or platters can be placed in the lower basket.
When using this program, do not place bowls or other hollow containers in the lower basket.

User Maintenance Instructions
To prevent accidents and machine damage, read these instructions before installation or use.
Cleaning and Care
Triple filter system
The triple filter system in the base of the wash cabinet prevents food from being redeposited on dishes. It also protects the circulation pump from damage caused by foreign objects (e.g. broken glass, bones).
The filter system should be cleaned every 4 - 6 months or whenever a foreign object is trapped.
Cleaning the filter in the wash cabinet
^ Lift the filter out of the machine.
Remove any solid particles and rinse under running water. Scrub with a nylon brush if necessary.
^ Turn off the dishwasher before cleaning.
^ Turn the handle counterclockwise to release the triple filter system.
48
Cleaning and Care
To clean the underside of the filter, the flap must be opened:
^ Pull back the yellow clip.
^ Rinse all parts under running water.
Scrub with a nylon brush if necessary.
^ Close the flap so that the clip engages.
^ Return the filter so it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.
^ Lock the filter by turning the handle clockwise.
,
The dishwasher must not be used without the filter locked in place.
49
Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the spray arms
Sometimes particles of food get stuck in the spray arm jets. The spray arms should be inspected and cleaned every
4 - 6 months.
^ Turn off the dishwasher before cleaning.
Remove the spray arms as follows:
^ Remove the cutlery tray (if present).
^ Press the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet and unscrew the spray arm.
^ Remove the lower basket.
^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove.
^ Lift up the middle spray arm, a, to engage the ratchet and unscrew the spray arm, b.
^ Use a pointed object such as a toothpick to push food particles into the spray arm jets.
^ Rinse thoroughly under running water.
^ Return the spray arms and check that they rotate freely.
50
Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the wash cabinet
Generally, the wash cabinet is self cleaning if the correct amount of dishwasher detergent is used.
The wash cabinet can be cleaned with a dishwasher cleaner such as Dis
Cleaner available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service
Department.
Cleaning the exterior
,
Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the dishwasher.
They will damage the surface.
Cleaning the door and door seal
^ Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth to remove any food particles.
^ Food residue and spilled liquids should be wiped from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms.
Plastic
All plastic surfaces and the control panel can be cleaned with warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge.
Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
,
Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for stainless steel can also be used.
Apply sparingly with even pressure.
Stainless steel colored controls
These controls may become discolored or damaged if not cleaned regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on the knobs or buttons.
Wood
Panels made from wood should be cleaned using a soft damp cloth and an appropriate wood cleaner.
51
Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in 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 valve housing on the intake hose contains electrical components and should not be submerged, or run through water.
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:
^ Disconnect the dishwasher from electricity (unplug it or "trip" the circuit breaker).
^ Turn off the water valve.
^ 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.
52
Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve
If the dishwasher is not completely drained at the end of a program, the drain pump or non-return valve may be blocked.
^ Turn off the dishwasher.
^ Remove the triple filter (see "Cleaning the filter in the wash cabinet").
^ Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out of the wash cabinet.
^ Pull out the non-return valve and rinse well under running water.
^ Tilt the locking clamp to the side.
The drain pump is beneath the non-return valve (see arrow).
^ Before returning the non-return valve, check that the drain pump is not blocked. Spin the propeller several times in both directions to check for obstructions.
^ Carefully refit the non-return valve and secure it with the locking clamp.
^ Refit and lock the filter in place.
