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 watersoftener 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

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.

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.

Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated into the intake
hose attached to the dishwasher’s shut
off valve. If your water is hard or the
pipes contain sediment, this filter may
clog and prevent enough water from
entering the wash cabinet.
The plastic housing of the water
,
connection contains electrical
wiring.
Do not cut the intake hose or
submerge it in liquid.
Installing an in-line water filter
If your water contains a large number of
insoluble substances, a filter between
the water valve and the intake hose
connection is recommended. These
filters can be purchased from Miele.
Cleaning the filter
^ Turn off the dishwasher and pull the
plug.
^ Turn off the water supply.
^ Unscrew the intake hose.
^ Carefully remove the rubber seal.
^ Remove the filter using needle nose
pliers and rinse it under running
water.
^ Reinsert 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 water supply and
test for leaks.
50

Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If the dishwasher is not completely
drained at the end of a program, the
drain pump or non-return valve may be
blocked.
^ Turn off the dishwasher and pull the
plug.
^ Remove the triple filter (see "Triple
filter system").
^ Use a cup or bowl to scoop water out
of the wash cabinet.
Cleaning and Care
The drain pump is beneath the
non-return valve (see arrow).
^ Remove all foreign objects from the
drain pump (glass or bone splinters).
^ Before returning the non-return valve,
check that the drain pump is not
blocked. Spin the propeller several
times in both directions to check for
obstructions.
^ Tilt the locking clamp to the side a.
^ Pull out the non-return valve b and
rinse it under running water.

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).
– Water pressure: Must be between
4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).
55
Page 56
Plumbing
Drainage
– The machine comes equipped with a
built-in non-return valve on the
discharge side to prevent waste
water from flowing back into the
dishwasher.
– The dishwasher is equipped with a
5 ft (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an
internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).
– Drain hose extensions and adapters
can be ordered from Miele.
The maximum drain hose length is
13 ft. (4 m), max. drain height: 39"
(1 m).
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the
supplied hose clip (see assembly
plan).
– The hose can be installed to the left
or right side.
– The existing drain pipe for the drain
hose is designed for various hose
diameters. The drain pipe must be
shortened if the drain pipe extends
too far into the drain hose. The drain
hose could get clogged.
– The drain hose must not be
shortened.
Venting the drainage system
If the dishwasher drain hose is
connected to a floor drain or to a drain
pipe that is less than 8" (20 cm) above
the floor, the drain must be vented.
Otherwise the water inside the
dishwasher may siphon out during the
wash program.
^ Open the dishwasher door and
remove the lower basket.
^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove.
^ Cut off the vent cap located at the
right rear of the triple filter system, as
illustrated.
