IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When loading dishes and
cutlery:
– Place sharp items away from the
door seal to prevent damaging the
seal.
– Load knives pointing down to
prevent injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless
they are labeled “dishwasher safe”.
For items not labeled, check the manu
facturer’s recommendations.
Do not abuse, sit, or stand on the
door or baskets of the dishwasher.
Remove the front door and cut off
the power cord of the dishwasher
before disposing. This will help protect
children from injury and accidentally
locking themselves in.
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 the
water flow from each for several min
utes before using the dishwasher. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.

Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electric
ity. For best results follow these tips:
The dishwasher can internally heat wa
ter to the temperatures required by the
wash program. This capability allows
the option of connecting the machine to
either a hot or cold water source.
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.
^ For the most economical washing
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
-
-
10
^ Choose the program best suited for
the type of dishware being washed
and the degree of soiling.
^
Select the Economy program for
energy saving dishwashing.
^
Use the correct amount of detergent.
^
Use only 2/3 the usual amount of de
tergent when baskets are only half
full.
^
Turn off the heated drying feature to
conserve more energy (see “Addi
tional features”).
-
-
Before using for the first time
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 corre
spond 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 de
tergent.
Adding rinse aid.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only
use detergents and rinse aids for-
mulated for domestic dishwashers.
Choose the correct program.
Different wash programs should be se
lected for different loads and different
degrees of soiling. See the program
chart for further program descriptions.
Add the correct amount of detergent.
Generally, 1 ½ tablespoons
detergent is enough for most wash
loads. Not enough or too much deter
gent can lead to poor wash results.
-
Cleaning results vary among detergent
brands. If you are not satisfied with the
wash results, try another brand of de
tergent.
Load dishes correctly.
Load dishes so that water can reach all
-
surfaces. Check that the spray arms
are not blocked by items that are too
tall for the baskets or hang through the
bottom of the baskets. If necessary,
manually rotate the spray arms to
check 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 sections for de
tailed information on the above points.
Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water re
maining in the machine is from
these tests and does not indicate
that the machine has been used.

Before using for the first time
Water softener
For good cleaning results, the dish
washer needs to operate with soft wa
ter. Hard water results in the build up of
calcium deposits on dishes and in the
dishwasher.
If water hardness is above 4 gr/gal
(70 ppm), the water should be soft
ened. This takes place automatically in
the integrated water softener.
The water softener must be filled with
–
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
The dishwasher must be pro
–
grammed to correspond to the water
hardness in your area.
– Your water company can tell you the
highest level of water hardness in
your area.
If your tap water is consistently lower
than 4 gr/gal (= 70 ppm) do not add
dishwasher salt. However, the dishwasher must still be programmed to
correspond to the water hardness in
your area.
-
-
-
-
Programming and setting the
water hardness level
The water hardness of your water sup
ply must be programmed into the dish
washer using the buttons on the control
panel.
The water hardness selector in the
wash cabinet must also be set to the
water hardness in your area.
Programming the water hardness
The programmed water hardness can
be checked and adjusted using the
buttons on the control panel. The indi
cators will light after each button is
pressed (n) on the control panel.
While programming, the water hardness
can be cancelled by turning off the
dishwasher with the “Off” button.
The water hardness is preset to
1 - 5 gr/gal (20 - 90 ppm).
-
-
-
Where water hardness fluctuates e.g.
between 8 - 17 gr/gal (140 - 310 ppm),
always program the dishwasher to the
higher value (in this example 17 gr/gal /
310 ppm)!
If there is a fault it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
tap water.
