Caring for the environment
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The cardboard box and packing material protects the appliance during shipping. These materials are biodegradable and recyclable, please recycle.
Disposal of an old machine
Before disposing of an appliance make sure that the machine has been made safe as outlined in the “Important Safety
Instructions” by removing power cords and doors.
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.
^ Make full use of the baskets without overloading for the most economical washing.
^ For small loads:
Select the “Top Solo” function (see
“Additional features”).
^ Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.
^ If baskets are only half full, select the
“Economy” program.
^ Use the correct amounts of detergent and rinse aid.
10
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 Technical Service 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 detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only use detergents and rinse aids formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Add the correct amount of detergent
Generally, 1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of detergent is enough for most wash loads. Not enough or too much detergent can lead to poor wash results.
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 items that are too tall for the baskets or hang through the bottom of the baskets. If necessary, manually rotate the spray arms to check clearance.
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.
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 sections for detailed information on the above points.
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.

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 to the water hardness in your area.
– The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
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.
^ Enter the water hardness:
Turning the water softener off
If your water is consistently soft
(below 8 gr/gal) the salt reservoir should not be filled with salt and the water softener can be turned off completely. The LED will not light.
The setting cannot be changed during a running program. Change the setting at the end of a program or before starting one.
^ Close the door and turn the program selector to "Stop".
^ Turn the dishwasher off.
^ Press and hold the "Top Solo" button and turn the dishwasher on.
^ Release the "Top Solo" button and immediately press it two more times.
The "Intake/Drain" and "Salt" indicators flash.
^ Set the program selector to the
6-o'clock position.
^ Use the "Top Solo" button to to set the setting.

16
Before using for the first time
Filling the salt reservoir
The salt reservoir should be filled before the first use and when ever the
“Salt” indicator lights. Use only water softener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm grain size); other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the softener.
The salt reservoir holds approximately
2 lbs (1 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
1 quart (1 l) of water.
^ Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir.
^ Carefully fill with salt, grain size of
1 - 4 mm. The salt reservoir holds approximately 2 lbs (1 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.
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.
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.
22
Loading examples
Upper basket
Loading the dishwasher
Adjustable cup rack
For small, lightweight, or delicate items like cups, saucers, glasses, and dessert plates. Flat pans can also be placed in the upper basket.
To make room for tall glasses raise the rack and lower it to double stack smaller pieces.
If the upper basket is set to the highest position, the adjustable cup rack cannot be raised.
Using “Top Solo”
If “Top Solo” has been selected for use with a wash program, all items must be loaded into the upper basket and cutlery tray.
Lightly soiled plates can also be placed in the lower basket if they are spaced.
Do not place dishes, pans or other hollow items in the lower basket when using “Top Solo”. See “Additional features”.
23
Loading the dishwasher
Adjusting the upper basket
The upper basket height is adjustable.
If tall items are being washed, more room can be created by raising or lowering the upper basket.
Do not set the angle to the extreme; one side at the highest setting and one side at the lowest. This will block the middle spray arm.
^ Slide the upper basket out.
Depending on the setting of the upper basket, the following plate dimensions can be accommodated:
Upper

Do not place thin , delicate glassware in the lower basket unless a special basket with glassware insert is installed.
Loading the dishwasher
25
Loading the dishwasher
Cutlery tray
For best results cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, etc. making unloading easier.
Place the blades of knives and the tines of forks between the holders. Spoons should be placed in the opposite direction with the handle in the holder.
Longer items such as soup ladles, spatulas, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lengthwise in the indentation in the middle of the cutlery tray.
Spoon heads should be placed in contact with the serrated retainers of the cutlery tray so water can run off.
The upper spray arm must not be blocked by large pieces.
The cutlery tray insert is removable.
If a spoon handle does not fit securely between the holders then place it like the forks and knives.
Do not cover the opening in the middle of the cutlery tray. Make sure that the upper spray arm can rotate freely after the tray is slid in; otherwise the rotation of the spray arms may be inadequate for a thorough cleaning.
26
Loading the dishwasher
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, 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
Use only powdered detergents or tablets formulated for residential dishwashers. Do not use gels or liquid detergents.
^ 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 a thorough cleaning. If dishes are extra dirty, 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 in the center of the dispenser, 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.
^ Press the latch on the detergent dispenser. The cover will spring open.
^ Fill the dispenser with 1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of powder detergent, or place a detergent tablet into compartment II.
To prevent children from coming into contact with dishwasher detergent, do not fill the detergent dispenser until you are ready to run 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.
28
Operating the dishwasher
Choosing a program
Program selection
Choose a wash program depending on the type of dishes and the degree of soiling.
In most cases the “Light Wash”, “Normal” or “Sani Wash” program will give excellent results.
Available programs and their applications are listed in the Program Chart.
The “Top Solo” feature can be used with each of these programs.
For further information on “Top Solo”, see “Additional features”.
“Energy Saver” Program
Approximately 0.20 kWh of electricity is used during this cycle.
^ Use this program for light to normally soiled dishes. The water is not heated in this program.
The dishwasher must be connected to hot water of at least 45 °C/115 °F for this program to clean well.
The drying result may not match that of a program with a full drying cycle.
The higher the temperature of the incoming water, the better the washing and drying results will be.
^ Opening the door of the dishwasher
2-3 inches (5-6 mm) at the end of the program will speed drying.

Additional features
Operating the dishwasher
“Top Solo” (16)
“Top Solo” is recommended when washing a small load. With this function most of the water is directed only to the top and middle spray arms of the dishwasher. This means that the water jets are aimed at items in the upper basket and the cutlery tray if the dishwasher has one.
The middle spray arm also directs water downwards so lightly soiled plates can be placed in the bottom basket, and cutlery may be placed in the cutlery basket if there are large spaces between pieces.
Do not place dishes, bowls or other hollow containers in the bottom basket.
Because a smaller load is being washed the amount of detergent recommended can be reduced to approximately 2/3 of the amount for a full load.
When using less detergent make sure that the cleaning results are not affected.
Using “Top Solo” saves water and energy.
For example, using this feature with the
“Economy 55 °C/130 °F” program uses only 10 quarts (10 l) of water and approximately 0.6 kWh of electricity.
“Top Solo” can be selected with all programs.
33
Operating the dishwasher
^ Turn the dishwasher on using the
“On/Off” button (14).
The “Start” indicator light (18) will come on.
^ Turn the program selector (17) clockwise or counterclockwise to the selected program.

The “Top Solo” indicator lights (16).
^ Press the “Start” button (18).
The program begins. The “Start” indicator light goes out and the “Rinse” and
“Top Solo” indicator lights come on.
The additional feature is deleted from the program memory at the end of the program cycle.
34
Unloading the dishwasher
^ Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when hot. Let dishes cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.
^ Dishes will cool much faster if the dishwasher door is opened a few inches after a program has finished.
^ First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket and cutlery tray.
This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and cutlery tray from falling on dishes in the lower basket.

Solving problems
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.
46
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 dimension “ X ” is at least 1/8" (4 mm).
^ If it measures less, the water intake time must be increased (see the following page).
47
Solving problems
Increasing the water intake time
To increase the water intake time, proceed as follows:
^ Turn off the dishwasher using the
”On/Off” button.
^ Turn the program selector to “Stop”.
^ Press the “Top Solo” button while simultaneously turning the machine
“On”. Release the “Top Solo” button within 2 seconds. The “Salt - PC” indicator light should blink.
If any other lights are blinking, repeat the process.
^ Turn the program selector to
“Economy 55 °C/130 °F”.
– If the “Top Solo” indicator does not light, the water intake time is set to normal.
– If the “Top Solo” indicator lights, the increased water intake time is set.
^ To change the setting, press the “Top
Solo” button.
The “Top Solo” indicator light will illuminate or go out each time the button is pressed.
^ Turn the program selector to “Stop”.
^ Turn off the dishwasher.
The modified intake time is now stored.
