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 you  
may 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.  
^ 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. Detergent dosage is  
dependent upon the amount of  
soiling and type of dishware being  
washed. See the "Program Guide" for  
more information.  
^ 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 "Express".

Water softener  
Checking the water hardness  
The water hardness level set can be  
viewed under the submenu "Water  
hardness". 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.  
^ If necessary, reset the hardness to  
that of your local water supply, see  
"Settings J - External water softener".  
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  
(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be  
softened.  
External water softener  
If the dishwasher is connected to an  
external water softener unit which is  
regenerated with salt, the water  
hardness must be set in the  
dishwasher.  
– The water softener must be filled with  
dishwasher salt for reactivation.  
If using "Tab" products which include  
salt, you should still add salt to the  
machine to achieve optimal cleaning  
results.  
^ Set the dishwasher to the water  
hardness of the external water  
softener. See "Settings J - External  
water softener".  
– Your local water authority will be able  
to advise you of the water hardness  
level in your area.  
– The dishwasher must be  
programmed to correspond to the  
water hardness in your area.  
If the hardness of your local supply  
is constantly lower than 4 °d (4 gr/gal  
[US]), you do not need to add water  
softener salt.

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.  
^ Place the provided funnel over the  
salt container. Carefully fill with salt.  
The salt container holds approx.  
4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it is filled,  
water will run out.  
^ Remove the lower basket and  
unscrew the salt container lid.  
When opening the salt container,  
water will run out. Open the  
container only to refill salt.  
^ Clean any excess salt from the  
threads of the container opening.  
Screw the lid on firmly.  
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.  
^ If the dishwasher will not be used  
immediately, run the "Express"  
program (without the "Turbo"  
function). This will remove any traces  
of salt from inside the wash cabinet.  
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.

Before using for the first time  
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.  
^ Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir  
until it is visible on the surface of the  
screen.  
When using "Tab" detergents rinse  
aid is not needed.  
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.  
3.7 oz (110 ml).  
Adding rinse aid  
^ 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".  
^ Press the button in the direction of  
the arrow until the flap springs open.

first comes on, there will be enough  
rinse aid left for 2 - 3 washes.  
^ Refill rinse aid after the program has  
finished.  
If the "Tab" function is selected, the  
Insufficient rinse aid message will  
not come on. See "Settings J -  
Detergent".  
^ Confirm with OK.  
The Insufficient rinse aid message will  
clear from the display.

Loading the dishwasher  
^ The spray arms must not be blocked  
by items that are too tall or hang  
through the baskets. Check  
clearance 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 throughout the  
inside of the dishwasher.  
^ Place very small items in the cutlery  
tray or basket so they do not fall to  
the bottom of the wash cabinet.  
Wax, grease and paint will cause  
permanent discoloration and  
damage to the dishwasher.  
^ Food residue and spilled 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  
placing them in the dishwasher,  
rinsing is not necessary.  
^ Some foods contain natural dyes,  
e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items  
may discolor permanently if they  
come in contact with food dyes.  
^ All items can be placed anywhere in  
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.

Items not recommended for  
dishwashing  
Glassware:  
– There are no standard guidelines for  
washing glassware, when in doubt  
wash by hand.  
– Cutlery with wooden handles  
– Wooden cutting boards  
– When purchasing new dishes,  
glasses and cutlery, make sure they  
are dishwasher safe. Only wash  
items marked "dishwasher safe" in  
the dishwasher.  
– Glued items such as old knives with  
handles glued together around the  
shank of the blade  
– Handmade craft items, antique,  
metal trimmed or decorative  
glassware  
– If fine glassware is washed in the  
dishwasher select the "China &  
Crystal" program*. This will reduce  
the risk of clouding.  
– Plastic items that are not heat  
resistant  
– Copper, brass, tin or aluminum  
Silver and aluminum:  
– Dishes with color painted over the  
glaze. These dishes may fade over  
time  
– 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.  
– Fine glassware and crystal items  
should only be washed using the  
"China & Crystal" program*.  
Otherwise clouding or etching may  
occur after frequent washing.  
– Cast iron pots and pans  
– If left to dry, foods containing sulfur  
can discolor silver. These include  
egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,  
mustard, fish and marinades.  
* depending on model  
– Silverware may tarnish or pit if  
washed next to stainless steel.  
Leave space between these metals.  
If unsure whether your china and  
crystal are dishwasher safe, please  
check with the manufacturer. The  
China & Crystal program, although  
extremely gentle and thorough can  
cause the china and crystal to "wear"  
if they are not dishwasher safe.  
– Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease  
filters, with domestic dishwasher  
detergent only.

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.  
– 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.  
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.  
– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.  
(1.5m) long.  
– A 5 ft. (1.5m) drain extension is  
available from Miele.
