Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electric
ity. For best results follow these tips:
The dishwasher can internally heat
water to the temperatures required by
the wash program. This capability al
lows the option of connecting the ma
chine 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 the most economical washing
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
-
-
-
10
^ Choose the program best suited for
the type of dishware being washed
and the degree of soiling.
^
Select the Economy program for
energy saving dishwashing.
^
Use the correct amount of detergent.
^
Use only 2/3 the usual amount of de
tergent when baskets are only half
full.
^
Turn off the heated drying feature to
conserve more energy (see “Addi
tional features”).
-
-
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 corre
spond to the water hardness in your
area. The water hardness can be deter
mined by calling your local water com
pany, or by using a test kit that can be
purchased from the Miele Technical
service Department.
Before using for the first time
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 re
sults. See “Adding detergent”.
-
Cleaning results vary among detergent
-
brands. If you are not satisfied with the
wash results, try another brand of de
tergent.
-
-
The salt reservoir must only be filled
with water and salt. Never fill it with de
tergent.
Adding rinse aid
Accidentally filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the
reservoir.
Only
use detergents and rinse aids for-
mulated for domestic dishwashers.
Choose the correct program
Wash programs should be selected de
pending on load size and degree of
soiling. See the Program Chart for pro
gram descriptions.
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 re
maining 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 the build up of calcium
deposits on dishes and in the dish
washer. If your tap water hardness is
above
8 gr/gal (140 ppm), the water should be
softened. This takes place automati
cally in the integrated water softener.
The water softener must be filled with
–
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
The dishwasher must be pro
–
grammed 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 consis
tently lower than 8 gr/gal (= 140 ppm)
do not add dishwasher salt. However,
the dishwasher must still be pro
grammed 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 ex
ample 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 pro
grammed 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).
gr/gal ppm Selector
1 - 4 20 - 70 Normal 55 °C/130 °F

minimize the effects of dishwashing on
glass surfaces. Too high a setting will
lead to poor cleaning results and an increase in water spots left on dishes and
cutlery.
^ Use a screwdriver to take the cover
off the water hardness level selector
in the wash cabinet.
Before using for the first time
Use a coin or screwdriver to adjust
^
the water hardness level selector in

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 con
tain insoluble additives which can im
pair the water softener.
The salt reservoir holds approximately
4 lbs (2 kg) of salt.
Before using for the first time
To fill the salt reservoir:
Remove the lower basket.
^
Unscrew and remove the salt reser
^
voir cap.
-
-
-
Inadvertently filling the salt reser
voir 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
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 ap
proximately 4 lbs (2 kg) of salt de
pending 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 im
mediately after reactivation, run the
“Rinse & Hold” program. This will re
move any traces of salt from inside the
wash cabinet.

Salt indicator
When the salt reservoir is empty, the
“Salt-PC” indicator will light, indicating
that it should be refilled with reactiva
tion 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 up
dates can be entered into the dish
washer. See the “After Sales Service”.

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.

Before using for the first time
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.
Rinse aid indicator
The rinse aid indicator on the control
panel will light when the rinse aid reser
voir needs refilling.
-
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 res
ervoir during the wash program.
^
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid.
The flap will remain closed during nor
mal operation.
There will be enough rinse aid left for
2 - 3 washes after it first lights.

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 discolor
ation 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 in-
side 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.
Small cups and glasses should be
^
placed on the cup racks. Taller mugs
and glasses can be placed under
neath the rack.
The spray arms must not be blocked
^
-
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets. Check clear
ance 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 plas
tic items are not affected by this discoloration.

-
The plastic valve housing on the in
take hose contains electrical com
ponents and should not be im
mersed, 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 be
tween the valve and the intake hose
connection is recommended. These
filters can be purchased from the
Miele Technical Service Department.

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.
Solving problems
The water level is correct when dimen
sions "X" is at least 1/8" (4 mm).
If it measures less, the water intake time
must be increased (see the following
page).

Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
Solving problems
Use caution when cleaning the fil
ters, non-return valve or drain pump;
glass or bone splinters may be
caught in the bottom of the wash
cabinet.
If the dishwasher is not completely
drained at the end of a program, the
drain pump or non-return valve may
be blocked.
To clean them:
^ Remove the combination filter.
^ Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out
of the wash cabinet.
-
Tilt the locking clamp to the side.
^
51
Solving problems
Pull out the non-return valve.
^
^ Rinse the non-return valve under run-
ning water.
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
^ Before returning the non-return valve,
check to make sure that the drain
pump is not obstructed. Spin the propeller several times in both directions; it should turn smoothly.
^ Carefully refit the non-return valve
and secure it with the locking clamp.
52
^ Refit and secure the combination
filter.
