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.
Do not install this dishwasher
beneath a cooking surface, oven or
any appliance that radiates heat.
High temperatures from these units may
damage the dishwasher.
When installing the dishwasher
under a counter top and removing
the toekick, a build-under toekick must
be installed. Use the respective
installation kit. Danger of injuries.
Do not cut the intake hose or
submerge it in liquid. This hose
contains electrical components that
could cause injury or property damage
if cut or submerged.
Only connect the dishwasher to the
mains when all installation and
plumbing work is complete.

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.
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.
When loading tableware, place
sharp items away from the door to
prevent damage to the seal. Load
sharp items pointing downwards to
prevent injuries.

Disposal of an appliance
If the appliance is removed from its
installation site and will not be

Caring for the environment
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 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.
^ If the dishwasher is connected to hot
water, select "Energy Saver" when
washing light to normally soiled
dishware. The water will not be
heated, therefore the dishes may be
more wet at the end of this program
than when using other programs.
^ Make full use of the baskets without
overloading for the most economical
washing.
^ Use the correct amount of detergent
and rinse aid.
^ When using powder or gel detergent
reduce the amount to
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 "Short".

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 sets automatically to
the local water hardness.
If the hardness of your local water
supply is constantly lower than 4°d
(4 gr/gal [US]), you do not need toadd water softener salt.
The message to refill salt will turn off
automatically.
Checking the water hardness
The water hardness measured by the
sensor can be displayed.
See "Settings J - Water hardness".
External water softener
If the dishwasher is connected to an
external water softener unit which is
regenerated with salt, the water
hadness must still be set in the
dishwasher.
^ Set the dishwasher to the water
hardness of the external water
softener. If you don't know the value,
set the dishwasher water hardness to
8°d (8 gr/gal [US]). See Settings J,
External water softener.
For best results use salt when using
3 in 1 tabs (these tabs contain
detergent, rinse aid and water softener
salt). When selecting the "3 in 1"
detergent setting, the salt dosage is
reduced to
amount.

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
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.

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.
