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.
Only use detergents and rinse aids
recommended for residential
dishwashers. Keep all detergents and
rinse aids out of the reach of children.
Do not inhale or swallow
detergents. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant and corrosive
ingredients. They can cause burning in
the mouth and throat if swallowed, or
inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor
immediately if detergent has been
swallowed or inhaled.
Do not drink water from the
dishwasher! Harmful residues
could be present.
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir or
salt container with detergent. It will
destroy the rinse aid compartment and
water softener.
If the power cord is damaged it
must only be replaced by a Miele
Service technician with a genuine Miele
power cord.
Be sure that all items placed in the
dishwasher are "dishwasher safe".
For items not labeled, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.

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. This takes place
automatically in the unit’s integrated
water softener.
The water softener is set automatically
to the local water hardness.
The water softener is designed for a
water hardness of up to 70 °d.
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. The salt indicator
turns off automatically.
Checking the water hardness
Once the dishwasher has been
installed and connected, run the
"Rinse + Hold" program. After the
program has finished, the water
hardness measured by the sensor can
be displayed.
This value is displayed in °d and may
fluctuate depending on the water
quality.
Turn the dishwasher off s.

Press the "Start/Stop" button and at
^
the same time turn the dishwasher on

the "Start/Stop" indicator comes on.
If it does not come on, start over.
^ Press the "Delay Start" button 6 times.
The "Delay Start" indicator flashes
6 times in intervals.
The measured water hardness is
displayed in °d and is shown in the time
display as the number after the p.

Before using for the first time
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.
Remove the lower basket and
^
unscrew the salt container lid.
When opening the salt container,
water will run out. Open the reservoir
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 reservoir opening.
Screw the lid on firmly.
^ If the dishwasher will not be used
immediately, run the "Short" 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 reservoir 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.
