Further programmes

Quick wash

Programme with a short duration for re‐ movin
g fresh food residues that have not dried on. This programme is also suitable for glasses and plastic items that do not tolerate high temperatures.

Extra quiet

Very quiet programme with a longer du‐ r
ation. Suitable for mixed loads of crockery, pots and pans with normal, slightly dried on food residues.

SolarSave

This programme does not heat the wa‐
er. To use it the water intake tempera‐
t ture must be at least 45 °C / 115 °F (see "Plumbing / Connection to the wa‐ ter supply"). This programme is suitable for mixed loads of crockery and glass‐ ware with normal, slightly dried on food residues.

Maintenance programme

The wash cabinet is largely self-clean‐ ing. However up in the cabinet, they can be removed by running the "Maintenance pro‐ gramme" without a load. This pro‐ gramme is designed for cleaning the wash cabinet using care products such as Miele's dishwasher cleaner or condi‐ tioner (see "Optional accessories / Dishwasher care products). Please fol‐ low usage instructions on the packag‐ ing.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self-clean‐

in detergent is always used.
If, however, there are limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet, these can be removed with a special dish‐ washer cleaner (see "Optional accesso‐ ries"). Follow the instructions on the packaging.
If you mainly use low temperature pro‐ gr
ammes (below 50 °C), there is a risk of bacteria and unpleasant odours building up in the wash cabinet. To pre‐ vent this happening the dishwasher will automatically increase the temperature in the final rinse of the selected pro‐ gramme after several programmes us‐ ing low temperatures have been run.

The housing must not be dipped in water.
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large number of insoluble substances, we r
ecommend fitting a large-area filter in the connection between the stopcock and the water inlet hose threaded un‐ ion. This filter is available from Miele.

ox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with
pr an internal diameter of 22 mm.
– The drain hose can be extended us‐
a connection piece to attach a
ing further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4 m, and the delivery head must not ex‐ ceed 1 m.
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
ainage outlet on site, use the

– The hose can be directed to the left

– The on-site connector for the drain
ho
se can be adapted to different widths of hose. If the connector pro‐ trudes too far into the drain hose, it will need to be shortened. Otherwise the drain hose may become blocked.

Venting the drainage system

If the on-site drain connection is situ‐ at
ed lower than the guide path for the bottom basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the appliance to empty itself of water.
