Caring for the environment
Caring for the environment
Disposing of the packing
material
The cardboard box and packing mate-
rial protects the appliance during ship-
ping. These materials are biodegrad-
able and recyclable, please recycle.
Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco-
nomical in the use of water and electric-
ity. For best results follow these tips:
The dishwasher can internally heat wa-
ter to the temperatures required by the
wash program. This capability allows
the option of connecting the machine to
either a hot or cold water source.
Disposing of an old machine
Before disposing of an old appliance,
please make child resistant as outlined
in the “Important Safety Instructions” by
removing power cords and doors.
^ 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.
^ For the most economical washing
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
^ Choose the program best suited for
the type of dishware being washed
and the degree of soiling.
^ Select the Economy program for
energy saving dishwashing.
^ Use the correct amount of detergent.
^ Use only 2/3 the usual amount of de-
tergent when baskets are only half
full.
^ Turn off the heated drying feature to
conserve more energy (see “Addi-
tional features”).

Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time
Add the correct amount of detergent.
Before using for the first time,
please note the following points.
Generally, 1 ½ tablespoons
detergent is enough for most wash
of
loads. Not enough or too much deter-
gent can lead to poor wash results.
Setting the water softener.
The water softener must be set to corre-
spond to the water hardness in your
area. This can be obtained from your
local water company, or by using a test
kit that can be purchased from the
Miele Parts Department.
Cleaning results vary among detergent
brands. If you are not satisfied with the
wash results, try another brand of de-
tergent.
Load dishes correctly.
The salt reservoir must only be filled
with water and salt. Never fill it with de-
tergent.
Load dishes so that water can reach all
surfaces. Check that the spray arms
are not blocked by items that are too
tall for the baskets or hang through the
bottom of the baskets. If necessary,
manually rotate the spray arms to
check clearance.
Adding rinse aid.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reser-
voir with detergent will damage the res-
ervoir.
The combination filter in the base of
the wash cabinet and the spray arms
must be kept clean.
Only use detergents and rinse aids for-
mulated for domestic dishwashers.
These should be regularly inspected
and cleaned, if necessary.
Choose the correct program.
Different wash programs should be se-
lected for different loads and different
degrees of soiling. See the program
chart for further program descriptions.
See the corresponding sections for de-
tailed information on the above points.
Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water re-
maining in the machine is from
these tests and does not indicate
that the machine has been used.

Before using for the first time
Water softener
Programming and setting the
water hardness level
The water hardness of your water sup-
ply must be programmed into the dish-
washer using the buttons on the control
panel.
The water hardness selector in the
wash cabinet must also be set to the
water hardness in your area.
For good cleaning results, the dish-
washer needs to operate with soft wa-
ter. Hard water results in the build up of
calcium deposits on dishes and in the
dishwasher.
If water hardness is above 4 gr/gal
(70 ppm), the water should be soft-
ened. This takes place automatically in
the integrated water softener.
Programming the water hardness
– The water softener must be filled with
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
The programmed water hardness can
be checked and adjusted using the
buttons on the control panel. The indi-
cators will light after each button is
pressed (n) on the control panel.
– The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed to correspond to the water
hardness in your area.
– Your water company can tell you the
highest level of water hardness in
your area.
While programming, the water hardness
can be cancelled by turning off the
dishwasher with the “Off” button.
If your tap water is consistently lower
than 4 gr/gal (= 70 ppm) do not add
dishwasher salt. However, the dish-
washer must still be programmed to
correspond to the water hardness in
your area.
The water hardness is preset to
1 - 5 gr/gal (20 - 90 ppm).
Where water hardness fluctuates e.g.
between 8 - 17 gr/gal (140 - 310 ppm),
always program the dishwasher to the
higher value (in this example 17 gr/gal /
310 ppm)!
If there is a fault it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
tap water.
^ Enter the water hardness below:

Before using for the first time
Filling the salt reservoir.
To fill the salt reservoir:
^ Remove the lower basket.
The salt reservoir should be filled be-
fore the first use and whenever the
“Salt” indicator lights. Only use water
softener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm
grain size), other salts may contain in-
soluble additives which can impair the
water softener.
^ Unscrew and remove the salt reser-
voir cap.
The salt reservoir holds approximately
2 lbs (1 kg) of salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-
voir with dishwashing detergent
will damage the water softener.
Make sure that only water soft-
ener reactivation salt of the
proper grain size is used.
Before adding salt for the first time,
fill the reservoir with approximately
1 quart (1 l) of water.
^ Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir.
^ Carefully fill with 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 after reactivation, run the
“Rinse & Hold“ program. This will re-
move any traces of salt from inside the
wash cabinet.

Before using for the first time
Salt indicator.
Bypassing the Salt indicator.
In order to bypass the salt indicator
light, you will need a screwdriver and
needle nose pliers.
When the salt reservoir is empty, the
“Salt-PC” indicator lights, indicating that
it needs to be refilled with reactivation
salt.
^ Remove the salt reservoir cap.
Looking into the salt reservoir, you will
see the top of the float chamber on the
right hand side b.
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically reacti-
vated the next time the dishwasher is
started. The “Softener” indicator will
light during this process.
^ Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot
the float chamber towards the center
of the reservoir.
Note:
If your water is very soft (below
4 gr/gal), the salt indicator light will
stay on. The reservoir should not be
filled with salt. The indicator will remain
lit and should be disregarded or
bypassed.
^ Using the needle nose pliers, pull the
cap c off of the float chamber, and
remove the float d.
^ 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.
The “Salt-PC” indicator has also been
designed so that future program up-
dates can be entered into the dish-
washer. See “After Sales Service”.

^ Small cups and glasses should be
placed on the cup racks. Taller mugs
and glasses can be placed under-
neath the rack.
Do not wash items soiled with ash,
wax, grease or paint in the dish-
washer.
Ash does not dissolve and will be
distributed through out the inside of
the dishwasher. Wax, grease and
paint will cause permanent discolor-
ation or damage to the dishwasher.
^ The spray arms must not be blocked
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets. Check clear-
ance by manually rotating the spray
arms.
^ Scrape food from dishes before
placing in the dishwasher but, do not
rinse dishes.
Some food may contain natural
dyes that can discolor plastics in
the dishwasher (e.g. carrots, toma-
toes, ketchup, etc.). The stability of
plastic items are not affected by this
discoloration.
^ Load dishes so that water can reach
all surfaces.
^ Do not place dishes and cutlery in-
side other pieces where they may be
hidden.
^ Hollow items such as cups and
glasses should be inverted and
placed in the upper basket.
^ Concave based items should be
placed at an angle on top of the
coffee bar, so that water does not
pool.
^ To ensure good water coverage tall,
narrow, hollow pieces should be

Cutlery tray
Spoon heads should be placed in con-
tact with the serrated retainers of the
cutlery tray so water can run off.
For best results cutlery should be
grouped in zones, one for knives, one
for forks, etc. making unloading easier.
Place the blades of knives and the tines
of forks between the holders. Spoons
should be placed in the opposite direc-
tion with the handle in the holder.
Longer items such as soup ladles,
spatulas, mixing spoons and long
knives should be placed lengthwise in
the indentation in the middle of the cut-
lery tray.
The upper spray arm must not be
blocked by large pieces.
If a spoon handle does not fit securely
between the holders then place it like
the forks and knives.
The cutlery tray insert is removable.
Do not cover the opening in the middle
of the cutlery tray. Make sure that the
upper spray arm can rotate freely after
the tray is slid in; otherwise the rotation
of the spray arms may be inadequate
for a thorough cleaning.

Items not suitable for dish-
washers:
– Cutlery with wooden handles.
Miele recommends:
– Wash delicate glassware using the
“Economy” program or the “China &
Crystal” program to reduce the risk
of clouding.
– Wooden cutting boards.
– Glued items such as old knives with
handles that are glued together
around the shank of the blade.
– There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware but, when in
doubt wash by hand.
– Hand made craft items, antique or
decorative glassware.
– When purchasing new dishes and
cutlery, make sure they are dish-
washer safe.
– Copper, brass or tin.
– If crystal or delicate glasses will be
washed frequently, connect the dish-
washer to cold, rather than hot water.
– Plastic items that are not heat resis-
tant.
Please note:
– 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.
– Color painted over the glaze of
dishes may fade over time.
– Clouding or etching may occur on
glasses after frequent washing.

Adding detergent
^ Close the cover. The cover will al-
ways be open at the end of a wash
program (except “Rinse & Hold”).
Use only powdered detergents or
tablets formulated for residential
dishwashers. Do not use gels or
liquid detergents.
Generally, filling the dispenser with
1 ½ tablespoons
of detergent is
enough for a thorough cleaning. If
dishes are extra dirty, or if food has
dried on the dishes, a program contain-
ing a prewash cycle should be se-
lected. Add an extra tablespoon
(15 ml) of detergent to compartment I
in the center of the dispenser, or place
directly on the inner door panel.
Dishwasher detergents contain irri-
tant and corrosive ingredients. They
can cause burns in the mouth and
throat if swallowed, or inhibit breath-
ing. Keep children away from deter-
gent and from the dishwasher when
the door is open.
^ Press the latch on the detergent dis-
penser. The cover will spring open.
To prevent children from coming into
contact with dishwasher detergent,
do not fill the detergent dispenser
until you are ready to run the dish-
washer.
Capacities:
Compartment I (prewash) holds a maxi-
mum of 3/4 ounce (20 ml) and Com-
partment II (main wash) holds a maxi-
mum of 2 3/4 ounces (70 ml) when
completely filled. The horizontal marks
in Compartment II indicate levels of ap-
proximately 3/4, 1, and 1 1/4 ounces
(20, 25 and 30 ml) respectively.
^ Fill the dispenser with 1 ½ table-
spoons
of powder detergent,
or place a detergent tablet into com-
partment II.

Cleaning the water intake filter
A filter is incorporated in the intake

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. It can be
cleaned as follows:
The plastic valve housing on the in-
take hose contains electrical com-
ponents and should not be im-
mersed, or run through water.
^ Return the filter and seal. Make sure
they are seated correctly.
Cleaning the filter:
Disconnect the dishwasher from
electricity (unplug it or “trip” the circuit
breaker).
^ Screw the intake hose back on the
water valve, checking that it is not
cross-threaded.
^ Turn off the main shutoff valve and
unscrew the intake hose.
^ Slowly turn on the valve and test for
leaks.
^ Carefully remove the rubber seal.

Transport
To transport the dishwasher, e.g. when
moving to a new home, note the follow-
ing:
– Empty the dishwasher,
– Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses,
cables, cutlery baskets.
– Transport the dishwasher in the up-

the machine will leak. This residual
water could get into the electronic
