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

Page 6
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.

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.

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.
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.
Caring for the environment
^
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.
^
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 "Express".

Page 15
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.
Checking the water hardness
The water hardness level set can be
viewed under the submenu "Water
hardness". See "Settings J - Water
hardness".
If necessary, reset the hardness to
^
that of your local water supply, see
"Settings J - External water softener".
External water softener
If the dishwasher is connected to an
external water softener unit which is
regenerated with salt, the water
hardness must be set in the
dishwasher.
^ Set the dishwasher to the water
hardness of the external water
softener. See "Settings J - External
water softener".
–
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.
15
Page 16
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
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 (without the "Turbo"
function). This will remove any traces
of salt from inside the wash cabinet.
16
Salt refill message
^
When the display shows Insufficient
salt, refill the salt after the program
has finished.
^
Confirm with OK.
The message will clear from the display.
After the container has been filled, the
water softener is automatically
reactivated the next time the
dishwasher is started. The Insufficient
salt message will show again during
this process. Confirm again with OK.
Page 17
Rinse aid
Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on
dishes and glassware.
The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir
and the set amount will be
automatically dosed.
Filling the rinse aid reservoir with
,
detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
residential dishwashers into the
reservoir.
When using "Tab" detergents, a
rinse aid is not needed.
Before using for the first time
Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir
^
until it is visible on the surface of the
screen.
Adding rinse aid
^
Press the button in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
3.7 oz (110 ml).
^ Press on the flap until you hear it
click shut. Failure to close it all the
way allows water to enter the
reservoir during the wash program.
^ Clean any spilled rinse aid. The flap
will remain closed during normal
operation.
To optimize the wash result, the rinse
aid dosage can be adjusted. See
"Settings J - Rinse aid".
17
Page 18
Before using for the first time
Rinse aid refill message
When the Insufficient rinse aid message
first comes on, there will be enough
rinse aid left for2-3washes.
Refill rinse aid after the program has
^
finished.
If the "Tab" function is selected, the
Insufficient rinse aid message will
not come on. See "Settings J Detergent".
Confirm with OK.
^
The Insufficient rinse aid message will
clear from the display.
18
Page 19
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.
Loading the dishwasher
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.

–
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.
20
–
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.

please note that this may not be
enough to reduce the risk of a leak.
To be completely safe, you must
turn off the water supply to each
individual appliance. This means
under the sink for a dishwasher, at
the laundry bib for your washer, etc.
Interrupting a program

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.
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.
Cleaning the filter
^ Turn off the dishwasher and pull the
plug.
^
Turn off the water supply.
^
Unscrew the intake hose.

Plumbing
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 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).
If the water pressure is lower, the
display shows Water intake
see "Frequently asked questions".
With high water intake pressure, a
reducing valve must be used.
To prevent damage to the
,
dishwasher, it must only be
connected to a fully vented drainage
system.
– To use the "Energy Saver" program, a
hot water connection of minimum
115°F / 45°C and maximum 140°F /
60°C (water intake temperature) is
necessary.
The higher the water intake
temperature, the better the cleaning
and drying results.
– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.
(1.5m) long.
– A 5 ft. (1.5m) drain extension is
available from Miele.
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.
77
Page 78
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.
,
Make sure the hose is installed
without kinking, pressure or being
pulled.
