IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING –

When using your dishwasher, follow
basic precautions, including the
following:

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.

nical Service Department with specific
requirements.

Inspect the dishwasher for ship

ping damage. Do not install or op
erate a damaged unit. Contact the
place of purchase.

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, oven or

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 (140 ppm), the water should be
softened. This takes place automati
cally 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 water softener must be filled with

dishwasher salt for reactivation.

If your water hardness is lower than
8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you do not need to
add dishwasher salt.

If there is a fault, it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
local water supply.

Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir

If your water hardness level is greater
than 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), the salt reser
voir 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.

-

^

Carefully fill with salt. The salt reser
voir holds approx. 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.

-

-

-

15

Before using for the first time

Salt indicator

When the salt reservoir is empty, the
"Salt-PC" indicator will light, indicating
that it should be refilled with reactiva
tion salt.

After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically reacti­vated the next time the dishwasher is
started. The "Salt" indicator will be lit
during this process.

Bypassing the Salt indicator

If you have soft water (below 8 gr/gal
(140 ppm)), the salt reservoir should
not be filled with salt. The indicator will

­remain lit and should be disregarded or
bypassed.

Remove the salt reservoir cap.

^

Looking into the salt reservoir, you will
see the top of the float chamber on the
right hand side, a.

16

^

Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot
the float chamber towards the center
of the reservoir.

^

Using the needle nose pliers, first pull
the cap, b, off of the float chamber,
then remove the float, c.

Replace the float chamber cap, push
the chamber back into its upright posi
tion, and replace the salt reservoir cap.
The "Salt" indicator should no longer be
lit.

-

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is recommended to prevent
spotting on dishes and glassware.

Filling the rinse aid reservoir with

,

detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
residential dishwashers into the res
ervoir.

Adding rinse aid

Before using for the first time

-

Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir

^

until it its visible on the surface of the
screen.

^ Press on the flap until you hear it

click shut. Failure to close it all the
way will allow water to enter the res­ervoir during the wash program.

^

Add rinse aid before the first use and
whenever the "Rinse aid" indicator
lights.

glasses and cutlery, make sure they
are dishwasher safe.

Silver and aluminum:

– Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.
– Silverware previously cleaned with a

silver polish may be damp or spotted
at the end of a program where water
has adhered to the polish. This can
be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth.

Cutlery tray (SC units)

Loading the dishwasher

The removable cutlery tray makes un­loading flatware easy. Simply carry the
cutlery tray to where the flatware is
stored and put the entire basket away
in one trip.

For easier unloading cutlery should be
grouped in zones, one for knives, one
for forks, one for spoons, etc.

Place knives with the cutting edge and
forks with the prongs between the hold
ers. Spoons should be placed in the
opposite direction with the handles
between the holders.

Longer items such as soup ladles, cake
slices, mixing spoons and long knives
should be placed lengthwise in the in
dentation of the cutlery tray.

-

Spoon heads should be placed in con
tact with at least one of the serrated re­tainers of the cutlery tray to ensure that
water runs off freely.

-

Spoons with thick handles may have to
be placed as knives and forks with their
heads in the holders.

"Top Solo" (2)

Press the "On" button (15).

Using "Top Solo" will save water and
energy.

This program is recommended when
there is only a small load to clean. "Top
Solo" can be selected with all pro
grams.

With this feature, water is directed only
to the top and middle spray arms. This
means that the water jets are only
aimed at items in the upper basket and
the cutlery tray.

The middle spray arm also directs
water downwards, so lightly soiled
plates or platters can be placed in the
lower basket.
When using this program, do not place
bowls or other hollow containers in the
lower basket.

Because a smaller load is being
washed the amount of detergent used
can be reduced to 1

Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the intake
hose attached to the dishwasher’s shut
off valve. If your water is hard, or the
pipes contain sediment, this filter may
clog and prevent enough water from
entering the wash cabinet.

Installing an in-line water filter

If your water contains a large number of
insoluble substances, a filter between
the water valve and the intake hose
connection is recommended. These fil
ters can be pruchased from Miele’s
Technical Service Department.

The plastic valve housing on the

,

intake hose contains electrical com
ponents and should not be im
mersed, or run through water.

Disconnect the dishwasher from

electricity (unplug it or "trip" the cir
cuit breaker).

Turn off the water valve.

^

Unscrew the intake hose.

^

­Carefully remove the rubber seal.
