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".

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.

Salt refill message  
^ When the display shows Insufficient  
salt, refill the salt after the program  
has finished.  
^ Confirm with OK.  
The message will clear from the display.  
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.  
Close the lid firmly.  
^ If the dishwasher will not be used  
immediately, run the "Short" program.  
This will remove any traces of salt  
from inside the wash cabinet.

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.  
When using "2 in 1" or "3 in 1"  
detergents rinse aid is not needed.  
"2 in 1" detergents contain detergent  
and rinse aid. "3 in 1" detergents  
contain detergent, rinse aid and  
water softener salt.

When the Insufficient rinse aid  
message first comes on, there will be  
enough rinse aid left for 2 - 3 washes.  
^ Refill rinse aid after the program has  
finished.  
If the "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" function is  
selected, the Insufficient rinse aid  
message will not come on. See  
"Settings J - Detergent".  
^ Confirm with OK.  
^ Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir  
until it its visible on the surface of the  
screen.  
The Insufficient rinse aid message will  
clear from the display.  
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.  
3.7 oz (110 ml).  
^ Press on the flap until you hear it  
click shut. Failure to close it all the  
way allows water to enter the  
reservoir during the wash program.  
^ Clean any spilled rinse aid. The flap  
will remain closed during normal  
operation.  
To optimize the wash result, the rinse  
aid dosage can be adjusted. See  
"Settings J - Rinse aid".

the baskets.  
^ Load dishes so that water can reach  
all surfaces. Do not place dishes or  
cutlery inside other pieces.  
^ Make sure that all items are securely  
positioned.  
^ Hollow items such as cups and  
glasses should be placed upside  
down in the baskets.  
^ To ensure good water coverage,  
tall, narrow and hollow items,  
i.e. vases or champagne glasses,  
should be placed in the center of the  
basket rather than in the corners.  
^ Concave based items such as mugs  
or bowls, should be placed at an  
angle so that water does not pool.

Cleaning and Care  
Cleaning the water inlet filter  
A filter is incorporated into 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.  
,The plastic housing of the water  
connection contains electrical  
wiring. Do not submerge the  
housing in liquid.  
Do not cut the intake hose or  
submerge it in liquid.  
^ Carefully remove the rubber seal.  
Installing an in-line water filter  
^ Remove the filter using needle nose  
pliers and rinse it under running  
water.  
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.  
^ Reinsert 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.  
Cleaning the filter  
^ Turn off the dishwasher and pull the  
plug.  
^ Slowly turn on the water supply and  
test for leaks.

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

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.
