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 appliance

Before disposing of an old appliance, please make 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.

^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.

10

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.

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.

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.

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.

^Turn the program selector to your corresponding water hardness level (see table below).

^Turn the program selector to “Stop”.

^Turn off the dishwasher with the “On/Off” button.

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.

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 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.

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”.

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.

^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.
