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.
^ If the dishwasher is connected to hot
water, select "Energy Saver" when
washing light to normally soiled
dishware. The water will not be
heated, therefore the dishes may be
more wet at the end of this program
than when using other programs.
^ Make full use of the baskets without
overloading for the most economical
washing.
^ Use the correct amount of detergent
and rinse aid.
^ When using powder or gel detergent
reduce the amount to 2/3 when
washing a small load.
^ Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
^ For small loads select "Short".

Before using for the first time
Water softener
Checking the water hardness
The water hardness measured by the
sensor can be displayed.
See "Settings J - Water hardness".
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.
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 4°d
(8 gr/gal [140 ppm]), the water should
be softened. This takes place
automatically in the unit’s integrated
water softener.
The water softener sets automatically to
the local water hardness.
If the hardness of your local supply
is constantly lower than 4°d (8 gr/gal
[140 ppm]), you do not need to add
water softener salt.
The "Insufficient salt" message will
turn off automatically.
For best results use salt when using
3 in 1 tabs (these tabs contain
detergent, rinse aid and water
softener salt). When selecting the
"3 in 1" detergent setting, the salt
dosage is reduced to 1/3 to 1/4.

Before using for the first time
Filling the salt container
,Inadvertently filling the salt
container with dishwashing
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.
^ Press the button in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
When opening the salt container,
water will run out. Open the
container only to refill salt.
Important: The salt container 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.
^ To fill the salt, open the door and hold
it at an angle, so that the salt
container can be completely filled.
^ Open the funnel.

After the container has been filled, the
water softener is automatically
reactivated the next time the
dishwasher is started. The Insufficient
salt message will show again during
this process. Confirm again with OK.
^ Carefully fill with salt until water runs
out. The salt container holds approx.
2.2 lbs (1 kg) of salt.
Do not fill with more than 2.2 lb
(1 kg) salt.
As it is filled, water will run out.
^ Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the container opening.

Rinse aid
Adding rinse aid
Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on
dishes and glassware.
The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir
and the set amount will be
automatically dosed.
,Filling the rinse aid reservoir with
detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
residential dishwashers into the
reservoir.

selected, the Insufficient rinse aid
message will not come on. See
"Settings J - Detergent".
^ Confirm with OK.

Plumbing
Connection to the water supply
,Do not drink water from the
dishwasher!
– The dishwasher can heat its own
water to the temperature required by
the wash program. This allows for
connection of the machine to either a
hot or cold water source. For lowest
energy consumption connect the
dishwasher to a cold water source.
For fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot
water source. All programs use hot
water in the rinse cycles.
,Do not cut the intake hose. It
contains electrical wiring. If the hose
is cut, the dishwasher will not work.
There will be a water leak and you
could be injured. If the hose is too
long, coil it neatly and place it
behind the machine.
– To use the "Energy Saver" program, a
hot water connection of minimum
115°F / 45°C and maximum 140°F /
60°C (water intake temperature) is
necessary.
The higher the water intake
temperature, the better the cleaning
and drying results.
– The inlet hose is approx. 5 ft. (1.5 m)
long. A 5 ft (1.5 m) flexible metal
hose (pressure resistant up to
2030 psi) is available.
– The water inlet hose comes
equipped with a ¾" female hose
thread connector. This can be
directly connected to a water supply
with ¾" MHT (male hose thread
ends).
– Water pressure: Must be between
4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).
If the water pressure is lower, the
display shows Water intake
see "Frequently asked questions".

Drainage
Venting the drainage system
– The machine comes equipped with a If the dishwasher drain hose is
built-in non-return valve on the
discharge side to prevent waste
water from flowing back into the
dishwasher.
connected to a floor drain or to a drain
pipe that is less than 8" (20 cm) above
the floor, the drain must be vented.
Otherwise the water inside the
dishwasher may siphon out during the
wash program.
– The dishwasher is equipped with a
5 ft (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an
internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).
^ Open the dishwasher door and
remove the lower basket.
– Drain hose extensions and adapters
can be ordered from Miele.
The maximum drain hose length is
13 ft. (4 m), max. drain height: 39"
(1 m).
^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove.
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the
supplied hose clip.
– The hose can be installed to the left
or right side.
– The existing drain pipe for the drain
hose is designed for various hose
diameters. The drain pipe must be
shortened if the drain pipe extends
too far into the drain hose. The drain
hose could get clogged.
^ Cut off the vent cap located at the
right rear of the triple filter system, as
illustrated.
– The drain hose must not be
shortened.
– Make sure the hose is installed
without kinking, pressure or being
pulled.
