IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
The dishwasher must be installed
~
and connected in compliance with the installation instructions.
Installation and repair work should
~
be performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Do not install or use a damaged
~
dishwasher. A damaged appliance is dangerous. Unplug the machine and call your Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
~
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!
This equipment is not designed for
~
maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.
It is recommended that the
~
dishwasher only be connected to the mains with the plug (no hard-wiring). The outlet must be accessible at all times after installation to disconnect the dishwasher.
, WARNING - Fire hazard
~
Do not cover or crush the plug of the appliance. Ensure that the cabinet opening for the dishwasher provides ample space for the plug. Installing the dishwasher in a tight space may crimp the power cord or put pressure on the plug which could cause overheating.
This dishwasher should only be
~
installed under a continuous counter top secured to adjacent cabinetry.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
~
allow children to play in, on or near the dishwasher.
Only use the dishwasher if all panels
~
are properly in place.
Do not tamper with the controls.
~
Do not damage, sit or stand on the
~
door or baskets of the dishwasher. Close the door when not in use.
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 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.

Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity. For best results follow these tips:
^ For lowest energy consumption you
may connect the dishwasher to a cold water source.
^ For fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source.
^ Make full use of the baskets without
overloading for the most economical washing.
^ Use the correct amount of detergent
and rinse aid. Detergent dosage is dependent upon the amount of soiling and type of dishware being washed. See the "Program Guide" for more information.
Caring for the environment
^ When using powder or gel detergent,
reduce the amount to normal amount when washing a small load.
^ Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.
^ For small loads select "Express".

Before using for the first time
Water softener
Every dishwasher is tested before leaving the factory. Any water remaining in the machine is from the final factory test and does not indicate that the machine has been used.
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 4 °d (4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be softened.
– The water softener must be filled with
dishwasher salt for reactivation. If using "Tab" products which include salt, you should still add salt to the machine to achieve optimal cleaning results.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
In areas where the water hardness fluctuates (example 37 - 50 °d [39 ­52 gr/gal]) always program the machine to the higher value (in this example 50 °d [52 gr/gal] ).
If there is a fault, it will help the service technician to know the hardness of your local water supply.
^ Please note your water hardness::
°d (gr/gal)
The water hardness was programmed to 1 -4 °d (1 -4 gr/gal) by factory default.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed to correspond to the water hardness in your area.
If the hardness of your local supply is constantly lower than 4 °d (4 gr/gal [US]), you do not need to add water softener salt. However the water hardness level must still be programmed.

Filling the salt container
Inadvertently filling the salt
,
container with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener.
Only use water softener salt
,
specially formulated for dishwashers. Other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener.
Before using for the first time
^ Remove the lower basket and
unscrew the salt container lid.
When opening the salt container, water will run out. Open the container only to refill salt.
Important: The salt container must be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water
before adding salt for the first time. Water does not have to be
added with subsequent refills.
^ Place the provided funnel over the
salt container. Carefully fill with salt. The salt container holds approx.
4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it is filled, water will run out.
^ Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the container opening. Screw the lid on firmly.
^ If the dishwasher will not be used
immediately, run the "Express" program. This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.
Salt indicator
^ When the "Salt" indicator comes on,
refill the salt after the program is finished.
After the container 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. It will go out once the reactivation process is complete.

Loading the dishwasher
Do not wash items soiled with
,
ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash and sand do not dissolve and will be distributed throughout the inside of the dishwasher. Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration and damage to the dishwasher.
^ Scrape food from dishes before
placing them in the dishwasher, rinsing is not necessary.
^ Some foods contain natural dyes,
e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items may discolor permanently if they come in contact with food dyes.
^ All items can be placed anywhere in
the baskets.
^ Load dishes so that water can reach
all surfaces. Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces.
^ 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.
^ Place very small items in the cutlery
tray or basket so they do not fall to the bottom of the wash cabinet.
^ Food residue and spilled liquids
should be cleaned from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms.
^ Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
^ Hollow items such as cups and
glasses should be placed upside down in the baskets.
^ To ensure good water coverage,
tall, narrow and hollow items, i.e. vases or champagne glasses, should be placed in the center of the basket rather than in the corners.
^ Concave based items such as mugs
or bowls, should be placed at an angle so that water does not pool.

Items not recommended for dishwashing
– Cutlery with wooden handles
– Wooden cutting boards
– Glued items such as old knives with
handles glued together around the shank of the blade
– Handmade craft items, antique,
metal trimmed or decorative glassware
– Plastic items that are not heat
resistant
– Copper, brass, tin or aluminum
– Dishes with color painted over the
glaze. These dishes may fade over time
– Fine glassware and crystal items
should only be washed using the "China & Crystal" program*. Otherwise clouding or etching may occur after frequent washing.
– Cast iron pots and pans
* depending on model
Glassware:
– There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware, when in doubt wash by hand.
– When purchasing new dishes,
glasses and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe. Only wash items marked "dishwasher safe" in the dishwasher.
– If fine glassware is washed in the
dishwasher select the "China & Crystal" program*. This will reduce the risk of clouding.
Silver and aluminum:
– 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 left to dry, foods containing sulfur
can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish and marinades.
If unsure whether your china and crystal are dishwasher safe, please check with the manufacturer. The China & Crystal program, although extremely gentle and thorough can cause the china and crystal to "wear" if they are not dishwasher safe.
– Silverware may tarnish or pit if
washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals.
– Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease
filters, with domestic dishwasher detergent only.

Waterproof system
All Miele dishwashers have a safety valve located on the incoming water line and a sealed underside with a water sensor. If a fault occurs, the water intake is stopped and the drain pump is activated.
Connection to the water supply
Do not drink water from the
,
dishwasher!
– The dishwasher can heat its own
water to the temperature required by the wash program. This allows for connection of the machine to either a hot or cold water source. For lowest energy consumption connect the dishwasher to a cold water source. For fastest possible wash times, with slightly higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source. All programs use hot water in the rinse cycles.
– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.
(1.5m) long.
Plumbing
To prevent damage to the
,
dishwasher, it must only be connected to a fully vented drainage system.
,
Do not cut the intake hose. It contains electrical wiring. If the hose is cut, the dishwasher will not work. There will be a water leak and you could be injured. If the hose is too long, coil it neatly and place it behind the machine.
– A 5 ft. (1.5m) drain extension is
available from Miele.
– The water inlet hose comes
equipped with a 3/4" female hose thread connector. This can be directly connected to a water supply with 3/4" MHT (male hose thread ends).
