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.  
^ 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").  
^ Use the correct amounts of detergent  
and rinse aid.

Water softener  
If your water hardness is consistently  
lower than 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you do  
not need to add dishwasher salt.  
However, the dishwasher must still be  
programmed to correspond with the  
local water hardness.  
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 (values are in US gallons)  
(140 ppm), the water should be  
softened. This takes place  
Where the water hardness fluctuates  
e.g. between 9 - 17 gr/gal (160 - 310  
ppm), always program the machine to  
the higher value, 17 gr/gal (310 ppm) in  
this example.

Cleaning the water inlet filter  
,The plastic valve housing on the  
intake hose contains electrical  
components and should not be  
submerged, or run through water.  
A filter is incorporated in 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.  
Cleaning the filter:  
^ Disconnect the dishwasher from  
electricity (unplug it or "trip" the  
circuit breaker).  
Installing an in-line water filter  
^ 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.  
^ Turn off the water valve.  
^ Unscrew the intake hose.  
^ Carefully remove the rubber seal.  
^ Remove the filter using needle nose  
pliers and rinse under running water.  
^ Return 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.  
^ Slowly turn on the valve and test for  
leaks.

Cleaning and Care  
Cleaning the drain pump and  
non-return valve  
If the dishwasher is not completely  
drained at the end of a program, the  
drain pump or non-return valve may be  
blocked.  
^ Turn off the dishwasher.  
^ Remove the triple filter (see "Cleaning  
the filter in the wash cabinet").  
^ Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out  
of the wash cabinet.  
^ Pull out the non-return valve and  
rinse well under running water.  
^ Tilt the locking clamp to the side.  
The drain pump is beneath the  
non-return valve (see arrow).  
^ Before returning the non-return valve,  
check that the drain pump is not  
blocked. Spin the propeller several  
times in both directions to check for  
obstructions.  
^ Carefully refit the non-return valve  
and secure it with the locking clamp.  
^ Refit and lock the filter in place.
