Help to protect the environment

Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in the use of water and
electricity. For best results follow these
tips:

You may connect the commercial

^

dishwasher to a hot water line. This is
particularly suitable with
energy-saving water heating sources
such as solar energy systems.
If the hot water system is electrically
heated and if loads comprise
primarily glassware we recommend
connecting the appliance to the cold
water line.

^ For fastest possible wash times, with

slightly 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.

^

Use the Normal program for energy
saving dishwashing.
From the aspect of combined energy
and water consumption, this program
is the most efficient for washing
normally soiled dishes.

^

Observe the detergent
manufacturer's recommendations for
detergent dosage.

^

When using powder or gel detergent,
reduce the amount to
normal amount when washing a small
load.

17

Before using for the first time

Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water
remaining in the machine is from the
final factory test and does not
indicate that the machine has been
used.

Filling the salt container

To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs soft water (water that
is low in minerals). Hard water results in
calcium deposits on dishware and in
the dishwasher.
Therefore, tap water with a hardness of
4 °d (4 gr/gal) or more must be
softened. This takes place
automatically in the integrated water
softener. The water softener requires
reactivation salt. The water softener is
suitable for a water hardness of up to
36 °d (37 gr/gal).

See "Settings - Water hardness" for
setting the water softener.

If the hardness of your water is
always below 4 °d (4 gr/gal), you do
not need any salt.

However, you must still program
your dishwasher for your water
hardness.

Inadvertently filling the salt

,

container with dishwashing
detergent (including liquid
detergent) will damage the water
softener.

Only use water softener salt

,

specially formulated for
dishwashers. Other salts may
contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.

18

Only open the door half way when

^

adding salt to avoid spilling it.

^ Press the button on the top of the salt

reservoir in the direction of the arrow.
The cover will pop open.

Before using for the first time

Do not fill water into the salt
reservoir!

^ Only add just enough salt to fill the

reservoir. Depending on the type of
salt, the reservoir will hold up to
approx. 2.2 lbs (1 kg).

^

Open the funnel.

Never fill with more than 2.2 lbs
(1 kg) of salt.

Displaced water may run out as the
reservoir is being filled.

^

Clean any excess salt from the filling
area and close the cover of the
reservoir.

^

Immediately run the Pre-wash
program without a load in order to
remove any traces of salt from the
chamber.

19

Before using for the first time

Refill salt indicator

Refill the salt reservoir as soon as the

^

Refill salt message is displayed.

F

Press the center button to confirm.

^

The Refill salt indicator goes out.

If a sufficiently high concentration of
salt has not yet formed, Refill salt may
continue to be displayed after adding
the salt.
In this case, confirm again with the
center button.

The Refill salt message is turned off if
you have programmed the dishwasher
to a water hardness below 4 °d
(4 gr/gal).

Immediately after each refill run

,

the Pre-wash or Short program
without a load in order to remove
any traces of salt from the cabinet.

20

Rinse aid

Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on
dishes and glassware and speeds up
the drying process.
The rinse aid is filled into the reservoir
and the set amount will be
automatically dispensed.

Use rinse aid only. Never fill the

,

rinse aid reservoir with regular
dishwashing detergent or cleaning
agent. This will damage the rinse aid
reservoir.

Adding rinse aid

Before using for the first time

shut, otherwise water might enter the
reservoir during the wash program.

^

Press the button on top of the rinse
aid reservoir in the direction of the
arrow. The cover will pop open.

^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid to

prevent over-foaming during the next
wash program.

Loading the dishwasher

Tips:

Remove coarse food residues from the
dishware.

There is no need to rinse items before
loading into the dishwasher.

Do not wash items soiled with

,

ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in
the dishwasher.
These materials damage the
dishwasher.

All items can be placed anywhere in
the baskets. However, note the
following:

– Do not place dishes or cutlery inside

other pieces. They will cover each
other.

– Load dishes so that water can reach

all the surfaces. This ensures that the
items will be properly cleaned!

– Make sure that all items are securely

positioned.

Concave items such as mugs or

–

bowls should be placed at an angle
so that the water can run off.

Ensure that the spray arms are not

–

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

Place very small items such as lids in

–

the cutlery tray or basket (depending
on the model) so they do not fall to
the bottom of the wash cabinet.

Some foods, e.g. carrots, tomatoes
and ketchup, may contain natural
dyes. Plastic items may discolor
permanently if they come in contact
with food dyes. This discoloration
does not affect the stability of the
plastic items.

–

Hollow items such as cups, glasses
and pots should be placed upside
down in the baskets.

–

Place tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.
champagne glasses, in the center of
the basket rather than in the corners.
This ensures good water coverage.

22

Loading the dishwasher

Items not recommended for
dishwashing:

Wooden cutlery and dishes or items

–

with wooden parts: they discolor and
fade. In addition, the glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof.
Result: wooden handles may come
loose.

Hand-crafted items, antiques,

–

valuable vases and decorative
glassware: these items are not
dishwasher-proof.

Plastic items which are not heat

–

resistant: these items may become
deformed.

– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium

items: these may discolor or become
dull.

– Colors painted over a glaze: these

may fade after a number of washes.

– Fine glassware and crystal: they may

become cloudy over time.

We recommend:

When purchasing dishes and cutlery,

–

make sure they are dishwasher-safe.

Drinking glasses may become

–

cloudy over time. Fine glassware
should only be washed at low
temperatures (see "Program guide")
This reduces the risk of clouding.

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

,

Aluminum components
(e.g. grease filters) must not be
washed with caustic alkaline
commercial or industrial cleaning
agents in the dishwasher. These
may damage the material. In
extreme cases they can cause a
severe chemical reaction.

Check the overall condition of your
dishwasher regularly (approx. every
4 - 6 months). This will help to
prevent problems.

The outer surfaces of the

,

dishwasher are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolor the outer
surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely
self-cleaning, provided that the correct
amount of detergent is used.

If, however, there are limescale or
grease deposits in the cabinet, these
can be removed with a special
dishwasher cleaner (available from
Miele).

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door and the door
seal

Wipe the door seals regularly with a

^

damp cloth to remove food deposits.

Wipe food and drink residues off the

^

dishwasher door.
These surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and are not reached by water
from the spray arms.

Cleaning the light guide

The light guide for the optical interface
is located in the cover plate under the
counter.

^ If necessary, clean the light guide

with a moist cloth or a household
cleaner that is safe for plastics.

Washing at low temperatures can allow
germs and odors to build up inside the
appliance. To prevent this, run an
intensive program with detergent after
approx. 20 program cycles with low
temperatures.

55

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the control panel and
exterior

Remove any soiling immediately.

,

Otherwise it might become
impossible to remove and could
cause an alteration or discoloration
of the surfaces.

Clean the control panel with a moist

^

cloth only.

Clean the front of the appliance with

^

a clean sponge, liquid dish soap and
warm water. Then wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
To clean, you can also use a clean,
damp microfiber cloth without
detergent.

Glass cleaners may be used to
clean the exterior. However do not
allow them to sit or "puddle", this can
cause damage to the surface.

Remove the cleaner promptly.

To better maintain your appliance
avoid the following:

cleaners containing soda, ammonia,

–

thinners, or chlorides

cleaners containing descaling

–

agents or lime removers,

– abrasive cleaners,

– stainless steel cleaners,

– dishwasher soap (powder),

– caustic (oven) cleaners,

– scouring pads, steel wool, hard

brushes,

56

– metal scrapers,

– steam cleaning products.

Cleaning and care

Triple filter system

The triple filter system in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse dirt from
the suds solution, preventing it from
reaching the circulation system and
re-entering the cabinet through the
spray arms.

The dishwasher must not be

,

used without all the filters in place.

Collection of coarse dirt may cause the
filters to clog. The level of soiling and
time it takes before the filters need
cleaning will vary depending on your
household use.

The message
in the display after every 50 program
cycles (factory default setting).

The filter check frequency can be set
from 30 and 60 program cycles (see
"Settings, filter check").

^

Check the triple filter system.

^

Clean the triple filter, if necessary.

^

Confirm the message with the center
button.

Check filters will appear

Cleaning the filters

Turn the dishwasher off.

^

^ Turn the handle counter-clockwise to

release the triple filter system a.

^ Take the filter combination out b,

remove any coarse particles and
rinse the filter well under running
water. Use a brush if necessary.

,

Make sure that when cleaning
the filters, no coarse dirt falls into the
circulation system, causing a
blockage.

The last selected program is displayed
briefly and the respective indicator light
comes on.
After a short while, the estimated
program time is displayed.

57

Cleaning and care

The cover must be opened to clean the
inside of the filter:

^ Push the clips together in the

direction of the arrows as shown a,
and open the cover b.

^ Clean all parts under running water.

^ Close the cover so that the lock

engages.

Replace the triple filter so it lies flat in

^

the base of the wash cabinet.

^ Lock the filter by turning the handle

clockwise, until the arrows point to
each other.

,

The triple filter system must be
inserted correctly and locked.
Otherwise large particles could get
into the circulation system and
cause a blockage.

58

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray
arms should therefore be checked
regularly (approx. every4-6months).

Turn the dishwasher off.

^

Remove the spray arms as follows:

Pull out the cutlery tray (if present).

^

Remove the lower basket.

^

^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly

upwards to remove.

^ Push the upper spray arm up to

engage the inner ratchet and
unscrew the spray arm.

^

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

^

Use a pointed object to push the
food particles that are stuck in the
spray arm jets into the spray arm.

^

Rinse the spray arms thoroughly
under running water.

^

Replace the spray arms and check
that they rotate freely.
