IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING –

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

Read all instructions before installation or use of the dishwasher to prevent injury and machine damage.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible 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.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect this appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement 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 performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and could void the warranty.

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,

disconnect the power supply to the work area by unplugging the unit, “tripping” the circuit breaker or removing the fuse.

, WARNING - Fire hazard

Do not cover or crush the plug of an electric appliance. Ensure that the cabinet opening for the dishwasher provides ample space for the plug. Installing the dishwasher in a tight space may crimp the power cord or put pressure on the plug which may cause overheating.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

Caring for the environment

Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity. 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.

Use the correct amounts of detergent and rinse aid.

Use the provided key to lock or unlock the dishwasher.

Horizontal: the door is locked

Vertical: the door can be opened

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 p.m.), the water should be softened. 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

programmed 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 p.m.), you do not need to add dishwasher salt.

However, the dishwasher must still be programmed to correspond to the local water hardness.

Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 9 - 17 gr/gal (160 - 310 p.m.), always program the machine to the higher value, 17 gr/gal (310 p.m.) 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 your water hardness:

gr/gal

Before using for the first time

Programming the water softener

Your water hardness level must be programmed into the dishwasher using the buttons on the control panel.

^ Make sure the dishwasher is turned

off.

^ Press and hold the "Start/Stop" button

(17) and at the same time turn on the dishwasher with the "On/Off" button (13). Release the "Start/Stop" button within two seconds.

The "Rinse" (16) indicator and a program indicator will light and the "Salt" (15) indicator will flash.

If this is not the case, the above steps must be repeated.

If your water hardness is greater than 22 gr/gal (400 p.m.) proceed to the next page.

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.

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

reservoir 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 reservoir 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 immediately, run the "Rinse & Hold" program. This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.

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 reactivation 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 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 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.

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

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

Replace the float chamber cap, push the chamber back into its upright position, 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 reservoir.

Adding rinse aid

Before using for the first time

Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir

until it is 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 "Rise aid" indicator lights.

Press the button in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. The

flap will remain closed during normal operation.

Before using for the first time

Adjusting the dosage

The dosage selector is preset to 3. This dispenses approximately 3 ml of rinse aid per program. It can be adjusted from 1 to 6.

^ Use a higher setting if spots appear

on dry glassware.

^ Use a lower setting if streaking

appears on dishes or glasses.

Rinse aid indicator

The rinse aid indicator on the control panel will light when the rinse aid reservoir needs refilling.

When the indicator first comes on, there will be enough rinse aid left for 2 - 3 washes.

Do not wash items soiled with

ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash and sand do not dissolve and will be distributed throughout the inside of the dishwasher. Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration or damage to the dishwasher.

Scrape food from dishes before

placing in the dishwasher.

Do not rinse dishes.

^ Load dishes so that water can reach

all surfaces. Do not place dishes and cutlery inside other pieces.

^ Hollow items such as cups and

glasses should be placed upside down in the upper basket.

^ Concave based items, such as mugs

or bowls, should be placed at an angle so that water does not pool.

Loading the dishwasher

The spray arms must not be blocked

by items that are too tall or hang through the baskets. Check clearance by manually rotating the spray arms.

Food residue and spilled liquids

should be cleaned from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms.

To ensure good water coverage tall, narrow, hollow pieces, such as a vase, should be placed in the center of the basket, rather than in the corners.

Small cups and glasses should be placed on the cup racks. Taller mugs and glasses can be placed beneath the rack.

Place very small items in the cutlery tray or basket so they do not fall to the bottom of the wash cabinet.

Loading the dishwasher

Items not recommended for dishwashing

Cutlery with wooden handles.

–

Wooden cutting boards.

–

Glued items such as old knives with

–

handles glued together around the shank of the blade.

Hand made craft items, antique,

–

metal trimmed or decorative glassware.

Lead crystal.

–

Copper, brass, tin or pewter.

– – Plastic items that are not heat

resistant.

– Dishes with color painted over the

glaze. These dishes may fade over time.

– Cast iron pots and pans.

Glassware:

There are no standard guidelines for

–

washing glassware but, when in doubt wash by hand.

Wash delicate glassware with a low

–

temperature program and without the extended drying feature to reduce the risk of clouding. See the "Program guide".

If crystal or delicate glasses will be

–

washed frequently, connect the dishwasher to cold, rather than hot water.

– Clouding or etching may occur on

glasses after frequent washing.

– When purchasing new dishes,

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. Silver that has been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may tarnish.

–

If left to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish and marinades.

–

Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals.

Cutlery basket

^ For the best cleaning results, spoons

and forks should be placed in the basket with handles down. Knives and other pointed objects can be loaded with their handles up to prevent injuries.

Loading the dishwasher

^ Place small spoons into the slots on

either side of the cutlery basket.

Loading the dishwasher

Cutlery tray (SC units)

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.

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

Place knives with the cutting edge and forks with the prongs between the holders. 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 indentation of the cutlery tray.

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

Upper basket

Adjusting the upper basket

On select models, the upper basket can be raised or lowered to accommodate tall items.

Slide out the upper basket.

Loading the dishwasher

Load the upper basket with small, lightweight, or delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls and flat pans.

Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and knives can be set across the front of the upper basket.

^ Pull up the levers at the sides of the

upper basket and adjust the basket height.

Release the levers and the basket will lock in place.

The basket can also be angled to fit tall items in both, the lower and upper baskets. The angles should not be set to opposite extremes. This will block the middle spray arm. Take care when sliding the basket in and out in this position.

Loading the dishwasher

Adjustable cup racks

Raise the rack to make room for tall glasses. Lower it to double stack smaller pieces.

Coffee bar

To allow water to run off the bottom of coffee mugs, place slanted on top of the coffee bar. The bar can also be used to separate two rows of glasses. To stack wide items, flip the bar to the right.

Additional features

"Top Solo" (18)

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 programs.

With this feature, 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.

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 pots, bowls or other hollow containers in the lower basket.

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

tablespoons.

Transport

To transport the dishwasher, e.g. when moving to a new home, note the following:

Empty the dishwasher.

–

Secure any loose parts, e.g. hoses,

–

cables, cutlery baskets. Transport the dishwasher in the

–

upright position. If unavoidable it may be transported on its back. Do not transport it on its side or on the door. Residual water in the machine could leak and cause electrical damage.

User Maintenance Instructions

To prevent accidents and machine damage, read these instructions

before installation or use.

Cleaning and Care

Triple filter system

The triple filter system in the base of the wash cabinet prevents food from being redeposited on dishes. It also protects the circulation pump from damage caused by foreign objects (e.g. broken glass, bones).

The filter system should be cleaned every 4 - 6 months or whenever a foreign object is trapped.

Cleaning the filter in the wash cabinet

^ Turn off the dishwasher before

cleaning.

Lift the filter out of the machine.

Remove any solid particles and rinse

under running water. Scrub with a

nylon brush if necessary.

Turn the handle counterclockwise to release the triple filter system.

Cleaning and Care

To clean the underside of the filter, the flap must be opened:

^ Pull back the yellow clip. ^ Rinse all parts under running water.

Scrub with a nylon brush if necessary.

^ Close the flap so that the clip

engages.

Return the filter so it lies flat in the

base of the wash cabinet. ^ Lock the filter by turning the handle

clockwise.

The dishwasher must not be used without the filter locked in place.

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the spray arms

Sometimes particles of food get stuck in the spray arm jets. The spray arms should be inspected and cleaned every 4 - 6 months.

Turn off the dishwasher before

cleaning.

Remove the spray arms as follows:

Remove the cutlery tray (if present).

Press the top spray arm upwards to

engage the inner ratchet and unscrew the spray arm.

Remove the lower basket.

^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly

upwards to remove.

Lift up the middle spray arm, a, to engage the ratchet and unscrew the spray arm, b.

Use a pointed object such as a toothpick to push food particles into the spray arm jets.

Rinse thoroughly under running water.

Return the spray arms and check that they rotate freely.

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the wash cabinet

Generally, the wash cabinet is self cleaning if the correct amount of dishwasher detergent is used.

The wash cabinet can be cleaned with a dishwasher cleaner such as Dis Cleaner available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department.

Cleaning the door and door seal

Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth

to remove any food particles.

^ Food residue and spilled liquids

should be wiped from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms.

Cleaning the exterior

Never use abrasive cleaners,

scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners on the dishwasher. They will damage the surface.

Plastic

All plastic surfaces and the control panel can be cleaned with warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge.

Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

Do not use too much water when

cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.

To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for stainless steel can also be used. Apply sparingly with even pressure.

Stainless steel colored controls

These controls may become discolored or damaged if not cleaned regularly. Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on the knobs or buttons.

Wood

Panels made from wood should be cleaned using a soft damp cloth and an appropriate wood cleaner.

Cleaning and Care

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 filters can be purchased from Miele.

The plastic valve housing on the

intake hose contains electrical components and should not be submerged, or run through water.

Cleaning the filter:

Disconnect the dishwasher from

electricity (unplug it or "trip" the circuit breaker).

Turn off the water valve.

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.

Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve

If the dishwasher is not completely drained at the end of a program, the drain pump or non-return valve may be blocked.

Turn off the dishwasher.

Remove the triple filter (see "Cleaning

the filter in the wash cabinet"). Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out

of the wash cabinet.

Cleaning and Care

Pull out the non-return valve and

rinse well under running water.

Tilt the locking clamp to the side.

The drain pump is beneath the non-return valve (see arrow).

Before returning the non-return valve, check that the drain pump is not blocked. Spin the propeller several times in both directions to check for obstructions.

Carefully refit the non-return valve and secure it with the locking clamp.

Refit and lock the filter in place.
