Guide to the appliance
Miele dishwashers are available in two
versions:
1. Integrated (“i”) dishwashers
“i”- dishwashers are designed for installation under a continuous countertop.
The control panel with its accessories
is included with the “i”- dishwasher in a
separate package for on-site installation. The front is designed to accept a
custom made panel, matching the existing kitchen cabinets.
Installation directions can be found in
the Installation chapter.
2. “U” dishwashers
The built-under (“U”) dishwashers use
the integrated (“i”) dishwashers as the
basic machine.
By using a GDU decor kit the “i”dishwasher can be converted into a “U”
model dishwasher.
Guide to the appliance
GDU installation instructions are included in a separate pamphlet supplied with the decor kit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using your dishwasher, follow all basic
safety precautions.
This appliance conforms to
all uniform safety codes and
regulations. To avoid injury
and machine damage, read
the operating instructions
carefully before using the
dishwasher.
This dishwasher is designed for
household use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage or injury
caused by improper use or for
uses other than those for which
the appliance is intended.
Repairs should only be performed
by qualified personnel. Disconnect
the appliance from the power supply
before servicing (pull out the plug or
turn off the circuit breaker).
If not purchased specifically as a
“Freestanding” model, only install
the dishwasher under a continuous
countertop which is secured to the
cabinetry.
The dishwasher must be electri-
cally grounded. Install the dishwasher as per the included Installation
instructions.
Use only powder detergents and
liquid rinse aids recommended for
dishwashers. Never use gels or liquid
detergents.
Do not use commercial or indus-
trial grade detergents, as these
may cause adverse chemical reactions
and damage the machine. Use
detergents made for residential dishwashers.
only
Do not use your dishwasher unless
all enclosure panels are properly in
place.
Do not allow children to play in or
on the dishwasher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When loading items to be
washed:
– Load pointed items so that they are
not likely to damage the door seal.
– Load knives with the cutting edge
down to reduce the risk of injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless
they are labeled “dishwasher safe”
or the equivalent. For items not labeled,
check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not abuse, sit, or stand on the
door or dishracks of the dishwasher.
Remove the front door and cut off
the power cord of the dishwasher
before removing it from service or discarding it. This will help protect children from injury or accidentally locking
themselves in.
Under certain conditions, hy-
drogen 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 the 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.
For dishwashers with visible heating
element
Do not touch the heating element
during or immediately after use.
Do not drink the water from the
wash cabinet.

Caring for the environment
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material.
The cardboard box and packing material protects the appliance during
shipping. It has been deliberately designed to be biodegradable and recyclable. Please dispose of these materials as you would any other
recyclable products.
Energy saving washing.
These dishwashers are exceptionally efficient in their use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your
appliance by following these tips:
Make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher for the
most economical washing.
Disposal of your old machine.
Old machines contain materials which
can be recycled. Please contact your
local recycling center about the possibility of recycling these materials. Make
certain the machine has been made
child resistant as outlined in the “Important safety instuctions” before disposing
of the appliance.
For small loads:
Select the “Top Solo” function (see
“Additional features” chapter).
Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
If baskets are only half full, use the
ECONOMY program.
Use the correct amounts of detergent and rinse aid.
12
Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time please
note the following points:
Setting the water softener.
The water softener must be set to correspond to the water hardness in your
area. This can be obtained from your
local water company, or by using a test
kit that can be purchased from the
Miele Parts Department.
The salt reservoir must only be filled
with water and salt. Never fill it with
detergent.
Adding rinse aid.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with liquid or powder detergent will damage the reservoir.
Use only powder detergents and liquid
rinse aids formulated for domestic dishwashers.
It is important to choose the correct
program.
Different wash programs should be selected for different loads and different
degrees of soiling. See the program
chart for further program descriptions.
Before using for the first time
Add the correct amount of detergent.
Generally, one to two tablespoons of
detergent will be adequate for most
wash loads. Not enough or too much
detergent can lead to poor wash results.
Cleaning results vary between detergents. If you are not satisfied with the
results from one brand, try another
quality brand before contacting the
Miele Service Department for advice.
Load the dishes correctly.
Load the dishes so that water can contact all surfaces. Ensure that the spray
arms are not blocked by items which
are too tall for the basket or which extend through the bottom of the basket.
If necessary, manually rotate the spray
arms to test for clearance.
The combination filter in the base of
the wash cabinet and the spray arms
must be kept clean.
These should be regularly inspected
and cleaned if necessary.
See the corresponding chapters for detailed information on the above points.
When the dishwasher is run for the
first time, the selected program will
not start for
minutes.
During these 7 minutes, the Water
Softener reactivation program will
run, and the “Softener” indicator
lamp will be on.

Water Softener
The water softener must be set to correspond to the water hardness in your
area. This can be obtained from your
local water company, or by using a test
kit that can be purchased from the
Miele Parts Department.
To avoid the build up of calcium deposits on dishes, cutlery, and in the
dishwasher, if the water hardness is
above 7 gr/gal, the water should be
softened.
The dishwasher is factory set for a hardness level of 1 - 4 gr/gal.
If your water hardness differs from
the factory setting, the correct setting must be entered into the dishwasher using the adjacent table.
To ensure a steady supply of softened water, the built in water softener must be:
1. Correctly set.
2. Reactivated with salt when depleted
Where the water hardness fluctuates
(e.g. 8-17 gr/gal), always set the machine to the higher value (17 in this
example).

Filling the salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir should be filled before the first use and when the “Salt” indicator lamp lights up. Use water softener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm grain
size), as other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the
functioning of the softener.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 4 lbs
(2 kg) of salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with dishwashing detergent will
damage the water softener. Make
sure that only water softener reactivation salt of the proper grain size is
used.
To fill the salt reservoir:
Remove the lower basket.
Unscrew and remove the salt reservoir cap.
Before adding salt for the first time:
Fill the reservoir with approximately
2 quarts (2 l) of water.
Place the funnel (provided) over the
salt reservoir.
Carefully fill with salt. As it is filled,
water will run out.
Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the reservoir opening.
18
Screw the cap on firmly.
If the dishwasher will not be used immediately after reactivation, run the
RINSE & HOLD program. This will
remove any traces of salt from the
cabinet.

Loading the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Load the dishes so that water can
contact all surfaces.
Do not place dishes and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be
concealed.
Hollow items such as cups and
glasses should be inverted and
placed in the upper basket.
Concave based items should be
placed at an angle so that water can
run off them freely, or placed on top
of the coffee bar (See page 27).
Tall, narrow, hollow pieces should be
placed in the center of the basket,
rather than in the corners, to ensure
adequate water coverage.
Small cups and glasses should be
placed on the cup racks. Taller mugs
and glasses can be placed underneath the rack.
The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets. If in doubt, test
for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms.
Some loading examples are shown on
the following pages.
Note
If the additional feature “Top Solo” has
been selected with a wash program, all
items must be loaded into the upper
basket and cutlery tray. See the “Additional features” section for further information.
In areas where the water has a high
mineral content, it may be necessary to polish silverware after washing to achieve a high shine.
Some food items may contain natural
dyes that can discolor plastic items
in the dishwasher ( e.g. carrots, tomatoes, ketchup, etc.). The stability
of plastic items is not affected by this
discoloration.
