Guide to the appliance
Miele dishwashers are available in two versions:
1. Integrated (“i”) dishwashers
“i”- dishwashers are designed for installation under a continuous countertop.
The control panel with its accessories is included with the “i”- dishwasher in a separate package for on-site installation. The front is designed to accept a custom made panel, matching the existing kitchen cabinets.
Installation directions can be found in the Installation chapter.
2. “U” dishwashers
The built-under (“U”) dishwashers use the integrated (“i”) dishwashers as the basic machine.
By using a GDU decor kit the “i”dishwasher can be converted into a “U” model dishwasher.
GDU installation instructions are included in a separate pamphlet supplied with the decor kit.

12
Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time please note the following points:
Setting the water softener.
The water softener must be set to correspond to the water hardness in your area. This can be obtained from your local water company, or by using a test kit that can be purchased from the
Miele Parts Department.
The salt reservoir must only be filled with water and salt. Never fill it with detergent.
Adding rinse aid.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with liquid or powder detergent will damage the reservoir.
Use only powder detergents and liquid rinse aids formulated for domestic dishwashers.
It is important to choose the correct program.
Different wash programs should be selected for different loads and different degrees of soiling. See the program chart for further program descriptions.
Add the correct amount of detergent.
Generally, one to two tablespoons of detergent will be adequate for most wash loads. Not enough or too much detergent can lead to poor wash results.
Cleaning results vary between detergents. If you are not satisfied with the results from one brand, try another quality brand before contacting the
Miele Service Department for advice.
Load the dishes correctly.
Load the dishes so that water can contact all surfaces. Ensure that the spray arms are not blocked by items which are too tall for the basket or which extend through the bottom of the basket.
If necessary, manually rotate the spray arms to test for clearance.
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 if necessary.
See the corresponding chapters for detailed information on the above points.
When the dishwasher is run for the first time, the selected program will not start for approximately 7 minutes.
During these 7 minutes, the Water
Softener reactivation program will run, and the “Softener” indicator lamp will be on.

Water Softener
Water Softener
The water softener must be set to correspond to the water hardness in your area. This can be obtained from your local water company, or by using a test kit that can be purchased from the
Miele Parts Department.
To avoid the build up of calcium deposits on dishes, cutlery, and in the dishwasher, if the water hardness is above 7 gr/gal, the water should be softened.
The dishwasher is factory set for a hardness level of 1 - 4 gr/gal.
If your water hardness differs from the factory setting, the correct setting must be entered into the dishwasher using the adjacent table.
To ensure a steady supply of softened water, the built in water softener must be:
1. Correctly set.
2. Reactivated with salt when depleted
Where the water hardness fluctuates
(e.g. 8-17 gr/gal), always set the machine to the higher value (17 in this example).

Water Softener
Filling the salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir should be filled before the first use and when the “Salt” indicator lamp lights up. Use water softener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm grain size), as other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the softener.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 4 lbs
(2 kg) of salt.
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.
To fill the salt reservoir:
Remove the lower basket.
Unscrew and remove the salt reservoir cap.
Before adding salt for the first time:
Fill the reservoir with approximately
2 quarts (2 l) of water.
Place the funnel (provided) over the salt reservoir.
Carefully fill with 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 after reactivation, run the
RINSE & HOLD program. This will remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
18
Salt indicator.
Water Softener
Bypassing the Salt indicator lamp.
In order to bypass the salt indicator lamp, 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 .
When the salt reservoir is empty, the
“Salt 9 ” indicator lamp will light, notifying you that the reservoir should be refilled with reactivation salt.
After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is run.
The “Softener” indicator lamp illuminates during this process.
Note:
If your water is very soft (below
7 gr/gal), the salt indicator lamp will stay on. In this case the reservoir should not be filled with salt. The indicator lamp will remain lit and should be disregarded or bypassed.
The “Salt 9 ” indicator lamp has also been designed for future program updates (PC). See the “After Sales Service” section for further details.
Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot the float chamber towards the center of the reservoir.
Using the needle nose pliers, first pull the cap c off of the float chamber, then 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 lamp should now remain off.
19
Adding rinse aid
Adding rinse aid
The use of Rinse Aid is recommended to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware that normally occurs during the drying phase of automatic dishwashing.
Adding rinse aid.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will always damage the reservoir. Only pour liquid rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.
Add Rinse Aid before the first use and anytime the “Rinse Aid” indicator lamp comes on.
Press the button in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
20
Adding rinse aid
Setting the dosage.
Pour liquid rinse aid into the storage container until it is visible on the surface of the screen. Do not refill until the “Rinse aid” indicator lamp comes on.
Only use rinse aid specifically labeled for residential dishwashers.
Inadvertently adding detergent will damage the rinse aid 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.
The dosage selector comes factory set to 3. It can be adjusted from 1 to 6, depending on your requirements. This setting dispenses approximately 3 ml rinse aid per program.
Use a higher setting if spots appear on dry glassware.
If streaking appears on dishes or glasses, use a lower setting.
21
Loading the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Load the dishes so that water can reach all surfaces.
Do not place dishes and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be concealed.
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 (see page 25),so that water can run off them freely.
Tall, narrow, hollow pieces should be placed in the center of the basket, rather than in the corners, to ensure adequate water coverage.
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 which are too tall or hang through the baskets. If in doubt, test for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms.
Some food items may contain natural dyes that can discolor plastic items in the dishwasher ( e.g. carrots, tomatoes, ketchup, etc.). The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discoloration.
Some loading examples are shown on the following pages.
Note
If the additional feature “Top Solo” has been selected with a wash program, all items must be loaded into the upper basket and cutlery tray. See the “Additional features” section for further information.
In areas where the water has high mineral content, it may be necessary to polish silverware after washing to achieve a high shine.
22
Loading examples.
Upper basket.
Loading the dishwasher
The plate inserts on the left and right rear of the lower basket are removable.
To remove, push the handles of both inserts toward the inside of the basket.
Once removed, the open area can accommodate large pots, casserole dishes, or accessory inserts (see “Accessories”).
Height limit
For small, lightweight, or delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc.
Bottom basket.
The height guard at the base of the upper basket is there to protect the middle spray arm. No object placed in the lower basket should stand higher than this guard.
For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters and saucepans.
Glasses should only be placed in the bottom basket if the special glassware insert is used.
23
Loading the dishwasher
Cutlery tray.
To make unloading easier, cutlery can be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, etc.
Larger items like sauce ladles, cake slices, long knives and mixing spoons can be placed lengthwise in the trough in the center of the tray.
Make sure that the upper spray arm can rotate freely after the tray is slid in, otherwise the rotation of the spray arm may be inadequate for a thorough cleaning.
The cutlery tray insert is removable.
Spoon heads should be placed so that water can run off them freely.
Place the heads of cutlery with round or oval handles in the holders. This will secure them during the wash cycle.
Place spoons so that their heads are secured in at least one holder so they cannot flip over and collect water.
24
Adjustable cup racks.
Loading the dishwasher
Coffee bar.
To make room for tall glasses, raise the rack. Lower it to double stack smaller items.
To allow water to run off of the bottom of coffee mugs, place them at a slant on top of the coffee bar.
The bar can also be used as a separator between two rows of glasses to protect them and keep them from leaning against each other. To stack wide items, flip the bar to the right.
25
Loading the dishwasher
Adjusting the upper basket.
(depending on model)
The upper basket height is adjustable.
If tall items of dishware are being washed, more room can be obtained by raising or lowering the upper basket.
Depending on the setting of the upper basket, the following dishware dimensions can be accommodated:
Upper basket position
Top

Items not suitable for dishwashers
Items not suitable for dishwashers
– Cutlery with wooden handles.
– Wooden cutting boards.
– Glued items such as old knives with handles that are glued together around the shank of the blade.
– Hand made craft items.
– Copper or tin items.
– Plastic items which are not heat resistant.
Please note:
– Silver or aluminum items may suffer some discoloration.
– Aluminum parts (eg. oven hood grease filters) should not be cleaned using commercial or industrial detergents. These high alkaline detergents may damage the machine, and in extreme instances, cause explosive chemical reactions.
– 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 previously been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may discolor (tarnish).
– Colors on dishware that have been painted over the glaze may fade over time.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing.
Miele recommends:
Wash delicate glassware using the
ECONOMY program or the CHINA &
CRYSTAL program with a temperature of 45 °C/115 °F. This will reduce the risk of clouding.
There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware. When in doubt, wash by hand.
When purchasing new dishes and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe.
27
Adding detergent
Adding detergent
Use only powder detergents formulated for residential dishwashers.
Do not use gels or liquid detergents.
Press the latch on the detergent dispenser. The cover will spring open.
Fill the dispenser with one to two tablespoons of powder detergent.
Generally, filling the dispenser with one to two tablespoons of detergent will be sufficient to ensure thorough cleaning.
If dishes are extra dirty, or if the soil has been allowed to dry on the dishes before washing, a program utilizing a prewash cycle should be selected. In this case, extra detergent can be added to the small compartment labeled ( I ) in the center of the dispenser.
Dishwasher detergents contain irritants 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 avoid the danger of children coming into contact with dishwasher detergent, only fill the detergent dispenser immediately before starting the program.
Capacities:
Compartment I (prewash) takes a maximum of 1 ounce (25 ml) and Compartment II (main wash) takes a maximum of 3 ounces (80 ml) when completely filled. There are horizontal marks to assist you in filling Compartment II. The marks indicate a level of approximately
3/4, 1, and 1 1/4 ounces (20, 25 and
30 ml respectively).
28
Close the cover. The cover will always be open at the end of a wash program (excluding the RINSE &
HOLD program).
Choosing a program
Choosing a program
The wash program chosen should depend on the type of dishes and the degree of soiling.
In most cases the LIGHT WASH program, a NORMAL program or the IN-
TENSIVE program will give excellent results.
The available programs and some of their applications are listed in the Program Chart on the next two pages.
“ENERGY SAVER” Program.
Use this program for lightly to normally soiled dishware.
A warm water intake (temperature of the incoming water) of at least
45 °C/115 °F is necessary for this program.
Water is not heated in this program.
Only 0.10 kWh of electricity (approx.) is used during this cycle.
The drying result may not match that of a program with a full drying cycle.
The higher the temperature of the intake water, the better the drying results.
Open the door of the dishwasher
2-3 inches (5-6 mm) at the end of the program to speed the drying process.

Operating the dishwasher.
Operating the dishwasher.
Turning on.
Close the door.
Open the water valve (if it is closed).
Press the “On/Off”-button (14).
Note:
Starting a program.
Turn the program and temperature selector knob (20) clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired program. The program will start.
Before starting the program, additional feature “Top Solo” can be selected if desired (see “Additional features”, page 32).
The hardness of the water supply will dictate how often (after how many washes) the water softener needs to be reactivated.
For example, with a water hardness of
21 gr/gal, reactivation will take place after every 3 programs. With a water hardness of 8 gr/gal, reactivation will only take place after 8 programs.
To prevent children from coming into contact with detergent, only place it in the dispenser immediately before starting the program.
When required, the water softener reactivation process is performed before the wash program. It may last several minutes.
During this process the “Softener” indicator will be on.
Sequence indicator (19).
Once a program is started, the sequence indicator lamps (19) show the actual program stage reached by the dishwasher.
Program end
The program has finished when the
“End” indicator is illuminated. The dishwasher can now be unloaded.
If the dishwasher door remains closed, the drying fan will continue to operate for a few additional minutes to help dissipate any remaining moisture.
32
Unloading the dishwasher
Unloading the dishwasher
Turning off.
At the end of a program:
Turn the program selector knob to the “STOP” position.
If the appliance will not be used for an extended period (e.g. while on vacation), it is recommended that the water supply valve be shut off.
Your Miele dishwasher is designed to shut off the water flow and drain the machine in the rare event of a valve failure. In order for this function to be active, the door must be shut, the machine must be “On”, and the Program knob must be in the “STOP” position.
Changing a program.
A program can be changed at any time. The new program will start as soon as it has been selected.
Turn the program selector knob to the desired program.
If you wish to start the new program at its beginning:
Turn the program selector knob to
“STOP” then select the new program.
It may be necessary to add additional detergent, depending on where the original program was interrupted.
Interrupting a program.
A program can be interrupted by opening the door.
If the door is then closed, the program will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened.
Warning!
The water in the dishwasher may be hot, and steam may be present! Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. The danger of burns and scalding exists.
Once the door has been opened, allow 20-30 second for internal temperature to equalize before closing it again, and then make sure it clicks into place.
Unloading the dishwasher
Dishes tend to break and chip easier when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.
If the door is opened at the completion of the drying cycle, the dishes will cool much faster.
Unload the lower basket first, then the upper basket and cutlery tray (if so equipped). This will prevent water drops from the upper basket or cutlery tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
33
Additional features
Additional features
Top Solo (17).
When this feature is selected, the majority of the water is directed to the top and middle spray arms of the dishwasher. Its use is recommended when all the dishes or cutlery needing cleaning can be loaded into the upper basket and cutlery tray.
Note:
Lightly soiled plates or serving platters can still be placed in the bottom basket if large spaces are left between them.
Do not place dishes, bowls or other hollow containers in the bottom basket.
Adjusting the upper basket to its lowest position will allow it to accommodate larger plates.
Because smaller amounts of dishware are being washed, the amount of detergent used can be reduced accordingly.
Using “Top Solo” will also save water and energy.
For example, using “Top Solo” with the
NORMAL 55°C/130°F program uses
3.2 gallons (12 liters) of water, instead of the usual 5 gallons (19 liters).
“Top Solo” can be selected with all wash programs.
Choose a program.
Press the “Top Solo”-button (17). The
“Top Solo” indicator lamp illuminates, and the program starts.

Dishwasher installation
Dishwasher installation
The “i” model dishwasher is specially designed for installation under a continuous countertop.
A panel can be custom made for installation on the front of the dishwasher, assuring a perfect match with the kitchen cabinetry.
If a standard non-cabinet matching dishwasher installation is desired, the
“i” model dishwasher can be converted into a “U” model through the addition of a GDU 60/65 decor kit. The decor kit comes supplied with separate installation instructions.
1. Installing the steam deflector, (if applicable).
A stainless steel plate is supplied to protect the underside of the countertop against steam rising from the dishwasher when the door is opened. If the countertop is made of Corian®, granite, marble or other solid, waterproof material, the steam deflector should not be used.
To ensure stability, these dishwashers should only be installed under a continuous countertop which is securely fastened to the cabinet base units.
Dimensions:
1) with 35" (890 mm) machine height
2) with 33 1/8" (840 mm) machine height
Range of adjustment is approximately
2" (5 cm).
Squeeze a bead of sealant from the supplied tube into the angle formed by the curved edge b of the coverplate.
Align the plate c with the lower front edge of the countertop (see illustration) and use the supplied tacks to nail it in place.
On countertops with wood or laminate edging, the tacks should be nailed through the rear holes of the plate.
47
Dishwasher installation
2. Installing the dishwasher under the countertop.
It is preferable to install the main water and electric supplies so that they can be accessed through an adjacent cabinet, rather than situating them behind the machine. See the “Plumbing” and “Electrical” sections for proper connection procedures before continuing.
Place the slides, with the ratchet at the rear, onto the dishwasher legs.
Unscrew the legs to raise the machine to within 1/4" (5 mm) of the underside of the countertop, and check that the machine is level, before sliding it into its opening.
Certain steps in the installation procedures require that the dishwasher be pulled out of its opening. For this reason, perform the final plumbing and electrical connections after the machine has been levelled and the front panel has been mounted.
Install the slides.
Two slides are included and should be installed on the feet of the dishwasher before the machine is pushed under the countertop. This will allow the machine to slide easier, protect the floor, and allow adjustment of the rear leveling legs from the front of the machine.
Push the machine into the opening, making sure the electrical cable and hoses can reach their connection points without being kinked.
48
Dishwasher installation
Adjust the rear leveling legs to the required height.
To raise the machine - turn clockwise.
To lower the machine - turn counterclockwise.
Several turns may be needed to set the correct height. A low speed electric or cordless screwdriver can also be used.
Adjust the front leveling legs by pushing on the foot with a slotted screwdriver.
Tipping the machine slightly, if possible, will make adjusting the front legs easier. Make sure the machine is level when adjustments are complete.
The dishwasher should be raised until it just touches the underside of the countertop.
49
Dishwasher installation
3. Installing the control panel.
The control panel and hardware is packaged separately from the dishwasher. It should be installed using the following procedure.
If a GDU decor kit is being used, (to convert an “i” dishwasher to a “U” version), the spacer bars i must first be removed and stored for possible use in the future, (See the separate instructions for installing the GDU decor kit). If the GDU kit is not being used, skip the following step.
Install the neccessary spacer bars i on the control panel.
Place the covers b
over the pushbutton switches.
Install the adapter disc c .
Place the seal d onto the ventilation grill. e
Push the ventilation grill e into the metal backing plate.
Position the control panel f over the backing plate and fasten it from the inside of the door g using the six screws provided.
Align and press the program knob onto its shaft h .
50
To remove the spacer bars from the control panel, place the panel on a table, printed side up, and gently push down on the spacer bars at a point near the bottom of the control panel. This will release the mounting bolts from their slots.
4. Aligning the control panel with the drawer fronts.
The control panel can be aligned with the drawer fronts of the kitchen cabinets by adjusting the spacer bars.
Dishwasher installation
5. Installing the custom door panel.
A custom door panel matching the kitchen cabinetry can be installed on the dishwasher by using the provided templates and bracket.
Length: 21" - 25 3/4" (53.3 - 65.4 cm)
Width: 23 1/2" (59.8 cm)
Note: The maximum panel length is only applicable when no spacer bars are used.
If a Stainless Steel panel is being used, please follow the separate installation instructions included with the panel.
After panel installation, see Step 6 “Adjusting the door springs”.
Using an 8 mm socket, turn the nut clockwise or counterclockwise until the spacers reach the required height.
If necessary, individual (or all) spacer bars can be removed.
Adjustment range from 4 1/2" control panel with-
(112 mm): out spacer bars, to 5 3/4" control panel with
(145 mm): four spacer bars, to 6": using a fifth spacer bar
(154 mm): (optional accessory).
After adjusting the control panel height, cut off the plastic screw excess.
Place a template on each end of the bracket as shown, making sure the rule marks face the outside of the bracket.
51
Dishwasher installation
Hang the bracket on the machine door.
Slide the top edge of the templates under the spacer bars and control panel.
Remove the bracket from the door.
Place the door panel on a flat surface, good side facing down, taking care not to scratch the surface.
Make certain that the bottom of the panel is closest to you.
Place the bracket on the back of the door panel and adjust it so that:
– the lines you drew on the templates align with the upper edge of the door panel and;
– the mounting bracket is centered
(left to right) on the door panel.
52
Slide the mounting bracket up or down until the oblong holes on the machine door align with the corresponding marks on the template (as shown in the left side of inset D .
Draw a line on each template that is even with the top edge of the adjacent cabinet door (inset E ).
Tape the bracket to the door panel to hold it in place while the mounting holes are being drilled.
Proceed to step “Drill pilot holes ...”.
Dishwasher installation
If the adjacent cabinetry (or appliance) does not have drawers and alignment to a drawer line is impossible:
Hang the bracket on the machine door, without the templates, and tighten the four locking screws on the edges of the door panel.
Close the door.
Measure the distance from the adjacent cabinet (or appliance) door bottom to the bottom of the mounting bracket (X).
Using measurement (X), draw a line on the rear of the door panel (X) inches up from the bottom.
Remove the bracket from the machine door and place it on the rear of the door panel so that:
– the bracket is centered left to right, and
– the bottom of the bracket is aligned with the (X) line.
Drill pilot holes for the screws using a
3/32" (2.5 mm) bit.
Attach the bracket to the panel using the 6 screws provided.
Remove the templates (if used).
The templates should be kept in case you want to install a different door panel on the dishwasher at a later date.
Tape the bracket to the door panel to hold it in place while the mounting holes are being drilled.
Attach the panel to the dishwasher by aligning the bracket tabs with the slots on the door.
53
Dishwasher installation
Once the door panel is positioned correctly :
Open the dishwasher door.
Tighten all the Torx screws on the edges of the dishwasher door.
Use the provided caps to plug the locking screw access holes.
Open the dishwasher door slightly. If the locking screws on the edge of the dishwasher door can not be reached, the dishwasher will have to be pulled out of its recess a few inches.
Push up one side of the door panel until it touches the spacer bars (or control panel if spacer bars are not being used) and lightly tighten the
T20 Torx screw on the corresponding edge of the machine door.
Repeat the process with the other side of the door panel.
Shut the door.
Check that the door panel is adjusted correctly. It should be snug at the top and neatly aligned with the cabinet drawer and door lines. If it isn’t aligned properly, loosen the Torx screws and readjust the panel
54
Dishwasher installation
6. Adjusting the door springs.
The door springs are adjusted correctly when a half opened door remains in that position when released.
If the door drops down, the spring tension needs to be increased.
If the door closes, the spring tension needs to decreased.
The adjusting screw is located in the upper front strip, on the left hand side of the dishwasher.
Open the dishwasher door.
7. Securing the dishwasher to the countertop.
To ensure the stability of the dishwasher, it must be attached to the countertop after it has been positioned.
Adjust the door springs to the correct balance by using a TORX screwdriver:
– turn clockwise to increase the tension
– turn counterclockwise to decrease the tension.
Insert one mounting bracket into each of the slots located at the left and right side of the machine top.
Push the machine into its recess and if necessary, raise the dishwasher by extending the feet until it just touches the underside of the countertop.
If a steam deflector is installed under the countertop, the bracket holes must align with the slots in the deflector.
55
Dishwasher installation
For Corian® or granite countertops, fasten the dishwasher to the adjacent cabinets as follows:
For openings greater than 23 5/8"
(60 cm) wide:
Open the dishwasher door and using flat head screws, secure the dishwasher to the countertop by screwing through both the mounting brackets and the steam deflector.
Make certain that the white rubber seal located at the top, outer edge of the dishwasher is tight against the bottom of the countertop.
Do not drill any additional holes through any portion of the wash cabinet. If in doubt how to secure the dishwasher, please call the
Miele Service Department.
Pull the dishwasher 4" (10 cm) out of its opening.
Insert the tab of each optional mounting bracket into the guide hole on top of the dishwasher, and then swing it to the right or left as required.
Push the dishwasher back into its opening, align and fasten it to the adjacent cabinets using 2 screws for each bracket.
56
Dishwasher installation
For openings exactly 23 5/8" (60 cm) wide:
Open the dishwasher door and remove the caps covering the mounting holes on the outer edge of the wash chamber.
8. Installing the toekick.
For kitchens utilizing one continuous or a cabinet matching toekick
To prevent damaging the front panel, and before installing the toekick, measurements must be taken to ensure that the toekick will not interfere with the complete opening of the dishwasher door.
Fasten the dishwasher to the adjacent cabinets using the supplied screws and bushings. Make sure a bushing is placed over the screw before inserting it into its mounting hole.
Tighten the screws and replace the caps.
The side mounting holes should only be used for securing the dishwasher if the opening is exactly 23 5/8" (60 cm) wide. Use of this method on larger openings will damage the machine and cause leaks.
The panel overhang ( P ), and toekick depth of recess ( R ), determine the maximum dishwasher toekick height ( H ).
If the panel contacts the toekick while the dishwasher door is being opened, the dishwasher toekick must be cut shorter or recessed deeper.
If ( H ) is equal to or less than the toekick height of the adjoining cabinetry, no interference will exist, provided that ( R ) is at least 3/4".
Note: If a decorative or flush mount toekick is desired, and (R) is less than
3/4", other modifications, such as beveling the top rear edge of the toekick, may be necessary.
57
Dishwasher installation
For kitchens utilizing the included plastic toekick
The included toekick will fit without modification when:
– The machine is set to its maximum height (legs fully extended), and
– the toekick is recessed as far as possible (4 ").
If the machine height is less than maximum, or if the toekick is recessed less than 4 ", the toekick must be shortened
(see following page).
After installation, carefully open the dishwasher door to check that the front panel does not hit the toekick.
If it does, remove the toekick and trim it accordingly.
Adjusting the toekick recess.
To adjust the depth (recess) of the toekick, release the tension on the spring clips as shown, and push the mounting brackets included in the installation kit in as far as possible.
58
Trimming the toekick
Dishwasher installation
The toekick cannot be pushed back in. It must be unscrewed, so that the tension on the spring clips can be released. The brackets can then be pushed in, and the toekick re-attached.
The rear of the toekick has two cutting lines.
Screw the toekick onto the installed brackets, with the cutting lines towards the top, and pull out evenly until it aligns with the toekick of the adjoining cabinets.
Carefully open the dishwasher door until it hits the toekick.
Using the front lower edge of the door panel as a guide, draw a line across the toekick.
Unscrew and remove the toekick.
If one of the cutting lines is close to the line just drawn, score the front of the toekick, and snap off the excess, otherwise, trim the toekick along the line using a saw.
Screw the toekick back onto the brackets, with the cut edge at the bottom.
If the dishwasher door does not open completely, the toekick may need further trimming.

Plumbing
Plumbing
It is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to ensure that the electrical and plumbing installation is carried out by a qualified installer in compliance with national and local codes and ordinances.
All dishwashers that carry the following blue and white sticker are designed to shut off the water and drain the wash cabinet in the rare event of an internal water valve failure.
In order for this feature to be active, the door must be tightly shut, the
“On/Off” button must be depressed, and the program selector knob must be in the “Stop” position.
Hot water supply specifications:
Recommended temperature: 120°F
(49°C)
Maximum temperature: 140°F (60°C)
Water pressure: 4.5 - 145 psi
(0.3 - 10 bar)
An air gap is built into the water inlet system and will prevent potable water mixing with waste water.
Hot water connection
New plumbing:
The water inlet hose comes equipped with a 3/4” female hose thread connector. This can be directly connected to a shut off valve with 3/4” male hose thread ends.
It is preferable that the hose assembly be installed vertically so the hose exits from the bottom of the valve box.
If this is not possible, it can be installed hoizontally, provided the hose exit remains beneath the main body of the box (see illustration). (The “lightning bolt” should be above the “arrow” when the installation is complete).The valve box should also be installed so that it is at least 8” (24 cm) above the floor (or base of the cabinet), and so the excess coiled hose will remain lower than the box at all points.
A 2” x 4” (60 x 115 mm) cutout in either the side or bottom of the cabinet adjoining the dishwasher is necessary if the valve box needs to be passed through.

The water pressure must be between
4.5 and 145 psi (0.3 and 10 bar).
If the water pressure is too low the machine may not take in enough water in the alloted time and the “Intake/Drain” indicator lamp will flash (see “Problem solving guide”).
If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducer must be installed.
Existing plumbing:
If the standard 3/8" copper plumbing for a dishwasher already exists with a compression fitting and valve as pictured:
Do not, under any circumstances, cut the intake hose. If the hose is cut, the dishwasher will not work, you will have a water leak and you could be injured. If the hose is too long, coil it neatly and place it behind the machine.
Cut the 3/8" copper tube after the valve.
Install the 3/8" compression to 3/4"
MHT (Male Hose Thread) adapter
(supplied with the machine), as illustrated.
Connect the inlet hose to the existing valve/adapter assembly.
Electrical wiring and components should not come into contact with any plumbing fixtures or hoses.

Drainage system specifications:
The machine comes equipped with:
– A 5 ft. long (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8"
(22 mm).
– A built-in swivel connector which allows the drain hose to be routed in any direction.
– A built in non-return valve on the discharge side to prevent waste water from flowing back into the dishwasher.
– A built-in odor trap on the discharge side to prevent odors from entering the kitchen.
Maximum drain height: 3 ft (1 m)
Maximum drain hose length: 12 ft
(3.5 m)
Drain connection:
D = 24 " (60 cm)
Connect the supplied drain hose to the drain pipe of the kitchen sink either:
A above the trap using the clamp provided, or
B - to the dishwasher connector of the garbage disposal.
Do not shorten the drain hose.
Electrical wiring and components should not come into contact with any plumbing fixtures or hoses.
IMPORTANT:
The dishwasher should be connected directly to the drain line.
When connecting the drain hose to the garbage disposal, make sure to remove the knockout from the connection nipple. (See disposal manufacturers instructions for this procedure.)
A sample of a correct water and drain installation of a dishwasher is shown.
A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher.
If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.

Venting the drainage system
Only if the dishwasher drain hose is connected to a floor drain or to a drain pipe that is below the level of the lower baskets wheels , the drain must be vented; otherwise the water inside of the dishwasher may siphon out during the course of a wash program.
Vent the drain:
Open the dishwasher door.
Additional note.
Since all Miele dishwashers are equipped with an odor trap and non-return valve, the drain hose can be connected directly to the drain pipe as illustrated.
If plumbing codes require an external air gap on the discharge side of the dishwasher, the following requirements must be met:
– No part the drain hose should be higher than 39" (1 mm).
– If installed horizontally, the drain hose can be up to 12 ft. (3.5 m) long.
If the drain hose is angled upwards in any way, it cannot be longer than
5 ft. (1.5 m).
– The drain connection should be made as close as possible to the dishwasher.
– The internal diameter (7/8" or 22 mm) of the drain hose should not be reduced at any point.
Cut off the vent cap located at the right rear of the dishwasher, behind the filters, as illustrated
