IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING –
When using your dishwasher, follow
basic precautions, including the fol
lowing:
Read all instructions before installa
tion or use of the dishwasher to pre
vent injury and machine damage.
The manufacturer cannot be held re
sponsible for damage or injury
caused by improper use of this appliance.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose. This appliance is
intended for residential use only.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to
any future user.
Electrical safety
Before installation make sure that
the voltage and frequency listed on
the data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond to prevent injury and
machine damage. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
Before installation or service, dis
connect the power supply to the
work area by unplugging the unit, “trip
ping” the circuit breaker or removing
the fuse.
Do not use an extension cord to
connect this appliance to electric
ity. Extension cords do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
-
(e.g. danger of overheating).
-
-
-
Be certain your appliance is prop
erly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the
electrical safety of this appliance, conti
nuity must exist between the appliance
and an effective grounding system. It is
imperative that this basic safety require
ment be met. If there is any doubt, have
the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or
inadequacy of, an effective grounding
system.
Installation
Installation and repair work should
be by a Miele authorized service
technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and could
void the warranty.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans or air
craft. However, under certain conditions
it may be possible for an installation in
these applications. Please contact the
nearest Miele dealer or the Miele Tech
nical Service Department with specific

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely
and kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
This dishwasher should only be in
stalled under a continuous
countertop secured to adjacent
cabinetry.
Do not install this dishwasher be
neath a cooking surface or oven.
Do not, under any circumstances
cut the intake hose or submerge in
liquid. This hose contains electrical
components that could cause injury or
property damage if cut or submerged.
-
Use

els are properly in place.
Do not tamper with the controls.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in, on, or
near the dishwasher.
Do not abuse, sit, or stand on the
door or baskets of the dishwasher.
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 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.
Do not wash plastic items unless
they are labeled "dishwasher safe"
or the equivalent. For items not labeled,
check the manufacturer’s recommenda
tions.
When loading tableware, place

Energy saving washing
Caring for the environment
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco
nomical in the use of water and electric
ity. For best results follow these tips:
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.
Make full use of the baskets without
^
overloading for the most economical
washing.
^ Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
^ For small loads:
Select the "Top Solo" feature (see
"Additional features").
^ If baskets are only half full, select the
"Economy" program.

Before using for the first time
Water softener
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
8 gr/gal (values are in US gallons)
(140 ppm), the water should be soft
ened. This takes place automatically in
the unit’s integrated water softener.
Your local water authority will be able
–
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
– The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed to correspond to the water
hardness in your area.
– The water softener must be filled with
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
-
If your water hardness is consistently
lower than 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you do
not need to add dishwasher salt. How
ever, the dishwasher must still be pro
grammed to correspond to the local
water hardness.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 9 - 17 gr/gal (160 - 310
ppm), always program the machine to
the higher value, 17 gr/gal (310 ppm) in
this example.
If there is a fault, it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
local water supply.
^ Please note the water hardness:
gr/gal

Before using for the first time
Programming the water softener
Your water hardness level must be pro
grammed into the dishwasher using the
program selector and buttons on the
control panel.
Make sure the dishwasher is turned
^
off.
Turn the program selector to "Stop".
^
Press and hold the "Top Solo" button
^
and at the same time turn on the
dishwasher with the "On/Off" button.
Release the "Top Solo" button within
two seconds.
The "Salt" indicator will flash.
If the "Rinse aid" indicator comes on,
the rinse aid dispenser needs to be
filled.
If any other indicator is lit or flashing,
the above steps must be repeated.

Turn the program selector to the posi
^
tion which corresponds to the water
hardness in your area (see table).

Before using for the first time
Filling the salt reservoir
If your water hardness level is greater
than 8 gr/gal, the salt reservoir should
be filled before the first use and when
the "Salt" indicator lights.
Only use water softener salt specially
formulated for dishwashers. Other salts
may contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
The proper salt can be purchased from
your Miele dealer or Miele’s Technical
Service Department.
Inadvertently filling the salt
,
reservoir with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener.
To fill the salt reservoir:
Remove the lower basket.
^
Unscrew and remove the salt reser
^
voir cap located on the floor of the
wash cabinet.
Place the provided funnel over the
^
salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir 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.
-
16
^
Carefully fill with salt. The salt reser
voir holds approximately 4.5 lbs
(2 kg) of salt. As it is filled, water will
run out.
^
Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the reservoir opening.
^
Screw the cap on firmly.
^
If the dishwasher will not be used im
mediately, run the "Rinse & Hold" pro
gram. This will remove any traces of
salt from inside the wash cabinet.
