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

^
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").

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 soft
-
ener.
–
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.
^ Enter the water hardness below:

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 (1 - 4 mm)
grain size; other salts may contain in
soluble additives which can impair the
water softener.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with dishwashing deter
gent will damage the water softener.
To fill the salt reservoir:
^
Remove the lower basket.
^
Unscrew and remove the salt reser
-
voir cap.
^
Place the provided funnel over the
salt reservoir.
Only before adding salt for the first
time, fill the reservoir with approxi
-
mately 2 quarts (2 l) of water.
^
Carefully fill with salt, grain size of
1 - 4 mm. The salt reservoir holds ap
proximately 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.
Before using for the first time
14
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 light
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, 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 po
sition, and replace the salt reservoir
cap. The indicator should not light.
Before using for the first time
15
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
^
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.
^
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.
^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. The
flap will remain closed during normal
operation.
Before using for the first time
16
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 ap-
pears on dishes or glasses.
Rinse aid indicator
The rinse aid indicator on the control
panel will light when the rinse aid reser
-
voir needs refilling.
When the indicator first comes on, there
will be enough rinse aid left for 2 - 3
washes.
