– Select the ECO pr

of its combined energy and water
consumption at cleaning normally
soiled crockery.
– If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply, select the SolarSave
programme for washing a lightly to
moderately soiled load. Because the
water is not heated in this pro‐
gramme, crockery may still be slightly
damper at the end of this programme
than it would be with other pro‐
grammes.

Mains water with a hardness level high‐

place automatically in the integrated

Maintenance programme
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean‐

up in the cabinet, they can be removed
by running the "Maintenance pro‐

gramme is designed for cleaning the
wash cabinet using care products such
as Miele's dishwasher cleaner or condi‐

Drainage
– The appliance drainage system is fit‐

t
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.
– The dishwasher is supplied with ap‐
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 dr
hose clip supplied (see installation di‐
agram).
– The hose can be directed to the left
or the right of the appliance.
– 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
