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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When loading items to be washed:
–Load pointed items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
–Load knives with the cutting edge down to reduce the risk of injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are labeled “dishwasher safe”
or the equivalent. For items not labeled, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not abuse, sit, or stand on the door or dishracks of the dish-
washer.
Remove the front door and cut off the power cord of the dishwasher before removing it from service or discarding it. This will help protect children from injury or accidentally locking
themselves in.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a
hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes before using the dishwasher. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Do not drink the water from the wash cabinet.
For dishwashers with visible heating element
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material.
The cardboard box and packing material protects the appliance during shipping. It has been deliberately designed to be biodegradable and recyclable. Please dispose of these materials as you would any other recyclable products.
Disposal of your old machine.
Old machines contain materials which can be recycled. Please contact your local recycling center about the possibility of recycling these materials. Make certain the machine has been made child resistant as outlined in the “Important safety instuctions” before disposing of the appliance.
Energy saving washing.
These dishwashers are exceptionally efficient in their use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips:
Make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher for the most economical washing.
Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.
If the baskets are only half full, use the ECONOMY program.
Use the correct amounts of detergent and rinse aid.
12
Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time, please note the following points.
Setting the water softener (if applicable).
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.
13
Opening and closing the door
To open the door.
Press the release catch inside the door grip.
If the door is opened during operation, all functions will automatically be interrupted.
To close the door.
Push the baskets in.
Lift the door and push until it clicks into position.
Child safety lock.
The child safety lock is designed to deter children from opening the dishwasher door.
Use the provided key to turn the child safety lock to the desired setting.
Horizontal setting = The door is locked.
Vertical setting = the door can be opened.
14
Water softener (Not available in US models.)
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.
Note:
If the water hardness in your area is under 7 gr/gal, it is not necessary to reactivate the softener with salt.
To avoid the build up of calcium deposits on dishes, cutlery, and in the dishwasher, the water should be softened if it is harder than 7 gr/gal.
The dishwasher is factory set for a hardness level of 4 - 14 gr/gal. If your water is harder or softer, this setting will need to be adjusted.
To ensure a steady supply of softened water, the built in water softener must be:
1.Correctly set.
2.Reactivated with salt when depleted.
Setting the water hardness level.
There are six settings on the selector, located on the right side of the wash cabinet:
Using a screwdriver, adjust the water hardness level by turning the selector switch to the appropriate setting.

15
Water softener (Not available in US models.)
Filling the salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir should be filled before the first use and whenever the “Salt” indicator lamp is lit. 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.
Remove the lower basket.
Unscrew and remove the salt reservoir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time:
Fill the salt reservoir with approximately 2 quarts 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.
16
Water softener (Not available in US models.)
Salt indicator.
When the salt reservoir is empty, the “Salt” indicator lamp will light, notifying you that the reservoir should be refilled with reactivation salt.
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 can be disregarded or bypassed.
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.
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.

Press the button in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
18
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.
19
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 so that water can run off them freely, or placed on top of the coffee bar (See page 25).
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.
In areas where the water has high mineral content, it may be necessary to polish silverware after washing to achieve a high shine.
20
Loading the dishwasher
Loading examples.
Bottom basket.
For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, and bowls. Depending on the dishwasher model, glasses can be cleaned in the bottom basket if a special glassware insert is installed.
