Caring for the environment  
Energy saving washing  
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco-  
nomical in the use of water and electric-  
ity. 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").  
^ If baskets are only half full, select the  
"Economy" program.  
^ Use the correct amounts of detergent  
and rinse aid.

Water softener  
Table 1:  
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 dishwasher must be pro-  
grammed to correspond to the water  
hardness in your area.  
– The water softener must be filled with  
dishwasher salt for reactivation.  
If your water hardness is consistently  
lower than 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you do  
not need to add dishwasher salt. How-  
ever, the dishwasher must still be pro-  
grammed to correspond to the local  
water hardness.  
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.

Filling the salt reservoir  
To fill 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.  
^ Remove the lower basket.  
^ Unscrew and remove the salt reser-  
voir cap located on the floor of the  
wash cabinet.  
Only use water softener salt specially  
formulated for dishwashers. Other salts  
may contain insoluble additives which  
can impair the water softener.  
^ Place the provided funnel over the  
salt reservoir.  
The salt reservoir 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.  
The proper salt can be purchased from  
your Miele dealer or Miele’s Technical  
Service Department.  
,Inadvertently filling the salt  
reservoir with dishwashing deter-  
gent will damage the water soft-  
ener.  
^ Carefully fill with salt. The salt reser-  
voir holds approximately 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.

Salt indicator  
Bypassing the salt indicator  
When the salt reservoir is empty, the  
"Salt-PC" indicator will light, indicating  
that it should be refilled with reactiva-  
tion salt.  
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.  
After the reservoir has been filled, the  
water softener is automatically reacti-  
vated the next time the dishwasher is  
started. The "Salt" indicator will be lit  
during this process.  
^ Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot  
the float chamber towards the center  
of the reservoir.  
^ Using needle nose pliers, pull the  
cap, b, off of the float chamber, and  
remove the float, c.  
Replace the float chamber cap, push  
the chamber back into its upright posi-  
tion, and replace the salt reservoir cap.  
The "Salt" indicator should no longer be  
lit.

Loading 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.  
,Do not wash items soiled with  
ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in  
the dishwasher.  
Ash and sand do not dissolve and  
will be distributed through out the in-  
side of the dishwasher.  
Wax, grease and paint will cause  
permanent discoloration or damage  
to the dishwasher.  
^ Food residue and spilt liquids should  
be cleaned from the sides of the  
dishwasher door. These are outside  
of the wash cabinet and are not  
cleaned by water from the spray  
arms.  
^ Scrape food from dishes before plac-  
ing in the dishwasher.  
Do not rinse dishes.  
^ Load dishes so that water can reach  
all surfaces. Do not place dishes and  
cutlery inside other pieces.  
^ Hollow items such as cups and  
glasses should be placed upside  
down in the upper basket.  
^ Concave based items, such as mugs  
or bowls, should be placed at an an-  
gle so that water does not pool.  
^ To ensure good water coverage tall,  
narrow, hollow pieces, such as a  
vase, should be placed in the center  
of the basket, rather than in the cor-  
ners.  
^ Small cups and glasses should be  
placed on the cup racks. Taller mugs  
and glasses can be placed beneath  
the rack.  
^ Place very small items in the cutlery  
tray or basket so they do not fall to  
the bottom of the wash cabinet.

– 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.  
– If left to dry, foods containing sulfur  
can discolor silver. These include  
egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mus-  
tard, legumes, fish, fish brine and  
marinades.  
– Silverware may tarnish or pit if  
washed next to stainless steel.

Cutlery tray (SC units)  
Spoon heads should be placed in con-  
tact with at least one of the serrated re-  
tainers of the cutlery tray to ensure that  
water runs off freely.  
The removable cutlery tray makes un-  
loading flatware easy. Simply carry the  
cutlery tray to where the flatware is  
stored and put the entire basket away  
in one trip.  
For easier unloading cutlery should be  
grouped in zones, one for knives, one  
for forks, one for spoons, etc.  
Place knives with the cutting edge and  
forks with the prongs between the hold-  
ers. Spoons should be placed in the  
opposite direction with the handles be-  
tween the holders.  
Longer items such as soup ladles, cake  
slices, mixing spoons and long knives  
should be placed lengthwise in the in-  
dentation of the cutlery tray.  
Spoons with thick handles may have to  
be placed as knives and forks with their  
heads in the holders.

Operation  
Adding detergent  
,Dishwasher detergents contain  
irritant and corrosive ingredients.  
Keep children away from detergent.  
Do not fill the detergent dispenser  
until you are ready to start the dish-  
washer.  
Only use powder detergents or tab-  
lets formulated for residential dish-  
washers. The use of gel or liquid de-  
tergent is not recommended.  
Never fill the detergent dispenser to  
capacity.  
Do not use more than the recom-  
mended amount of detergent.  
Continued use of too much deter-  
gent may cause machine damage.  
The horizontal marks in Compartment II  
indicate levels of approximately 1 1/4,  
1 3/4 and 2 tablespoons (20, 25 and  
30 ml) respectively.  
^ With the dishwasher door fully open  
fill compartment II with 2 tablespoon  
(30 ml) of powder detergent, or one  
detergent tablet.  
^ Close the cover. The cover will al-  
ways open at the end of a wash pro-  
gram except in "Rinse & Hold".  
2 tablespoon (30 ml) of detergent is  
enough for most normally soiled loads.  
For heavily soiled loads, 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.  
Less detergent is needed in homes with  
very soft water and when washing  
lightly soiled dishes.  
^ To open, press the latch on the deter-  
gent dispenser.

The filter system should be cleaned ev-  
ery 4 - 6 months or whenever a foreign  
object is trapped.  
Cleaning the filter in the wash

move any solid particles and rinse  
under running water. Scrub with a ny-  
lon brush if necessary.  
^ Turn off the dishwasher before clean-  
ing.

Cleaning the wash cabinet  
Cleaning the exterior  
Generally, the wash cabinet is self  
cleaning if the correct amount of dish-  
washer detergent is used.  
,Never use abrasive cleaners,  
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic  
(oven) cleaners on the dishwasher.  
They will damage the surface.  
The wash cabinet can be cleaned with  
a dishwasher cleaner such as Dis  
Cleaner available from your Miele  
dealer or the Miele Technical Service  
Department.  
Plastic  
All plastic surfaces and the control  
panel can be cleaned with warm water  
and liquid dish soap applied with a soft  
sponge.  
Cleaning the door and door  
seal  
Wipe dry using a soft cloth.  
^ Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth  
to remove any food particles.  
,Do not use too much water when  
cleaning the controls. Water could  
penetrate into the electronics and  
cause damage.  
^ Food residue and spilt liquids should  
be wiped from the sides of the dish-  
washer door. These are outside of the  
wash cabinet and are not cleaned by  
water from the spray arms.  
Stainless steel  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using a non-abrasive stainless steel  
cleaner.  
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner  
for stainless steel can also be used.  
Apply sparingly with even pressure.  
Stainless steel colored controls  
These controls may become discolored  
or damaged if not cleaned regularly.  
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on  
the knobs or buttons.  
Wood  
Panels made from wood should be  
cleaned using a soft damp cloth and an  
appropriate wood cleaner.

Cleaning the water inlet filter  
,The plastic valve housing on the  
intake hose contains electrical com-  
ponents and should not be im-  
mersed, 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 cir-  
cuit breaker).  
Installing an in-line water filter  
^ If your water contains a large number  
of insoluble substances, a filter be-  
tween the water valve and the intake  
hose connection is recommended.  
These filters can be purchased from  
Miele’s Technical Service Depart-  
ment.  
^ Turn off the water valve.  
^ Unscrew the intake hose.  
^ Carefully remove the rubber seal.  
^ Remove the filter using a needle nose  
plier 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.

drained at the end of a program, the  
drain pump or non-return valve may be

the filter in the wash cabinet").  
^ Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out  
of the wash cabinet.
