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.
^ Make full use of the baskets without
overloading for the most economical washing.
-
-
10
^ For small loads:
Select the “Top Solo” function (see “Additional features”).
^
Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.
^
If baskets are only half full, select the “Economy” program.
^
Use the correct amounts of detergent and rinse aid.

Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time, please note the following.
Setting the water softener
The water softener must be set to corre spond to the water hardness in your area. The water hardness can be deter mined by calling your local water com pany, or by using a test kit that can be purchased from the Miele Technical service Department.
Before using for the first time
Add correct detergent amount
Generally, 1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of detergent is enough for most normally soiled loads. Not enough or too much detergent can lead to poor wash re
­sults. See “Adding detergent”.
-
Cleaning results vary among detergent
-
brands. If you are not satisfied with the wash results, try another brand of de tergent.
-
-
The salt reservoir must only be filled with water and salt. Never fill it with de tergent.
Adding rinse aid
Accidentally 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
Wash programs should be selected de pending on load size and degree of soiling. See the Program Chart for pro gram descriptions.
Load dishes correctly
-
Load dishes so that water can reach all surfaces. Check that the spray arms are not blocked by tall or large items. 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.
See the “Cleaning and care” section for
­more detailed information.
-
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
To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard wa ter results in the build up of calcium de posits on tableware and in the dish washer. If your tap water hardness is above 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), the water should be softened. 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 local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
If the hardness of your tap water is con­stantly lower than 8 gr/gal (140 ppm) do not add dishwasher salt
. However, the dishwasher must still be pro­grammed to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.
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 tap water.

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 wa ter softener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm grain size); other salts may contain in soluble additives which can impair the water softener.
The salt reservoir holds approximately 4 lbs (2 kg) of salt.
-
-
To fill the salt reservoir:
Remove the lower basket.
^
Unscrew and remove the salt reser
^
voir cap.
-
Inadvertently filling the salt reser voir with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure that only water soft­ener reactivation salt of the proper grain size is used.
-
Before adding salt for the first time, fill the reservoir with approximately 2 quarts (2 l) of water.
^ Place the provided funnel over the
salt reservoir.
^
Carefully fill with salt, grain size of 1 - 4 mm. The salt reservoir holds ap proximately 4 lbs (2 kg) of salt de pending of the brand used. 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 after reactivation, run the “Rinse & Hold” program. This will re move any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.

After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reacti­vated the next time the dishwasher is started. The “Softener” indicator will light during this process.
Note:
If your water is soft (below 8 gr/gal) the salt reservoir should not be filled with salt. The indicator will remain lit and should be disregarded or deactivated.
The “Salt-PC” indicator has also been designed so that future program up dates can be entered into the dish washer. See the “After Sales Service”.

Miele recommends:
Wash delicate glassware using the
“Economy” program or the “China & Crystal” program to reduce the risk of clouding.
There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware but, when in doubt wash by hand.
When purchasing new dishes and
cutlery, make sure they are dish washer safe.
If crystal or delicate glasses will be
washed frequently, connect the dish washer to cold, rather than hot water.

Choosing a program
Program selection
Choose a wash program depending on the type of dishes and the degree of soiling.
In most cases the “Light Wash”, “Nor mal” or “Sani Wash” program will give excellent results.
Available programs and their applica tions are listed in the Program Chart. The “Top Solo” feature can be used with each of these programs.
For further information on “Top Solo”, see “Additional features”.

Additional features
“Top Solo” (20)
“Top Solo” is recommended when there is only a small load to clean. With this function most of the water is directed only to the top and middle spray arms in the dishwasher. This means that the water jets are only aimed at items in the upper basket and the cutlery tray if the dishwasher has one.
Operating the dishwasher
Because a smaller load is being washed the amount of detergent rec­ommended can be reduced to approxi­mately 2/3 of the total amount for the full load. When reducing the amount of detergent make sure that the cleaning result is not affected.
As the middle spray arm also directs water downwards, lightly soiled plates or platters can be placed in the bottom basket, and cutlery may be placed in the cutlery basket if there are large spaces between pieces. Do not place dishes, bowls or other hol low containers in the bottom basket.
Using “Top Solo” saves water and en­ergy. For example, using this function with the “Economy 55 °C/130 °F” program uses only 11 quarts (11 l) of water and approximately 0.8 kWh of electricity.
­The “Top Solo” function can be se
lected with all programs.

Cleaning the water intake 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. It can be cleaned as follows:
-
The plastic valve housing on the in take hose contains electrical com ponents and should not be im mersed, or run through water.
Cleaning the filter:
Disconnect the dishwasher from electricity (unplug it or “trip” the circuit breaker).
^ Turn off the main shutoff valve and
unscrew the intake hose.
^ Carefully remove the rubber seal. ^ Remove the filter using needle nose
pliers and rinse under running water.
-
-
-
Return the filter and seal. Make sure
^
they are seated correctly.
^ Screw the intake hose back on the
water valve, checking that it is not cross-threaded.
^ Slowly turn on the valve and test for
leaks.
Installing an in-line water filter
^ If your water contains a large number
of insoluble substances, a filter be tween the valve and the intake hose connection is recommended. These filters can be purchased from the Miele Technical Service Department.

Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve
Solving problems
Use caution when cleaning the fil ters, non-return valve or drain pump; glass or bone splinters may be caught in the bottom of the wash cabinet.
If the dishwasher is not completely drained at the end of a program, the drain pump or non-return valve may be blocked.
To clean them:
^ Remove the combination filter. ^ Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out
of the wash cabinet.
-
Tilt the locking clamp to the side.
^
53
Page 54
Solving problems
Pull out the non-return valve.
^ ^ Rinse the non-return valve under run-
ning water.
The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow).
^ Before returning the non-return valve,
check to make sure that the drain pump is not obstructed. Spin the pro­peller several times in both direc­tions; it should turn smoothly.
^ Carefully refit the non-return valve
and secure it with the locking clamp.
54
^ Refit and secure the combination
filter.

Program update function - PC
The “PC” indicator has the function of Program Correction (PC). This allows a technician to update the programming of the dishwasher to make use of new technological developments.
-
For example, if a detergent that gives good wash results using only cold wa­ter were to become available, the wash programs can be modified to take ad­vantage of this.

Transport
To transport the dishwasher, e.g. when moving to a new home, note the follow ing:
Empty the dishwasher,
Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses,
cables, cutlery baskets. Transport the dishwasher in the up
right position. If unavoidable it may be transported on its back. Do not transport it on its side or on the door because residual water in the machine will leak. This residual water could get into the electronic unit and cause damage.
