detailed water hardness tables (water  
hardness in gr/gal and ppm).  
The built-in water softener can be  
programmed at settings from  
1 - 60 gr/gal or 20 - 1080 ppm.  
Once the 60 setting has been reached,  
the counter begins again from 0.

operated, there will always be  
enough water in the reservoir.  
The salt reservoir holds approximately  
2.5 kg salt.  
,Inadvertently filling the salt  
reservoir with detergent will damage  
the water softener.  
Before filling the reservoir, make  
sure that you are using reactivation  
salt.  
^ Place the funnel provided in place.

^ Wipe any residual salt off the screw  
threads and seal of the reservoir.  
When the salt reservoir is empty, the  
"Recharge Softener" indicator b lights  
to remind you to fill the reservoir.  
^ Screw the cap on securely.  
^ Immediately after this step, start the  
"Rinse" program, to remove any  
traces of salt from the inside of the  
machine.  
Reactivation takes place automatically  
as needed during a program. The  
"Recharging" indicator a lights while  
this is occurring.  
Note: There may be a delay of a few  
minutes before the "Rinse" program  
starts due to the reactivation of the  
water softener.  
15  
Rinse Aid  
Adding rinse aid  
^ Open the washer door.  
Rinse aid is not used in laboratory  
glassware cleaning applications.  
If rinse aid is required, the rinse aid  
dosage must be activated with  
assistance from Miele Technical  
Service.  
Rinse aid (e.g., MieleClear) is filled in  
the storage container, and the selected  
dose is then dispensed automatically.  
The rinse aid reservoir holds  
approximately 180 ml.  
^ Unscrew the reservoir cap.  
,Inadvertently filling the rinse aid  
reservoir with detergent will damage  
the machine. Be sure only to use  
rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir.  
^ Pour enough rinse aid into the  
reservoir so that the level indicator  
(see arrow) is dark. Use a funnel if  
necessary.  
^ Replace and tighten the reservoir  
cap.  
^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid, to  
prevent over sudsing during the next  
wash cycle.

Plumbing  
Connecting the water inlet  
– The maximum permissible static  
water pressure is 145 psi over  
pressure.  
,Water in the machine is not  
suitable for drinking.  
– If the water pressure lies outside  
these ranges, please contact Miele  
Technical Service for advice (the  
"Fill/Drain" indicator, may appear in  
the display "F E").  
– The machine must be connected to  
the water supply in accordance with  
local and national regulations.  
– High iron content can leave a rust  
film on stainless steel labware and  
the machine itself.  
– The machine is designed for  
connection to cold water (blue  
marking) and hot water (red marking)  
up to 158°F (70°C) max.  
When the chloride content in the  
domestic water supply is above  
100mg/l, the risk of corrosion  
damage to stainless steel labware is  
greatly increased.  
Connect the water intake hoses to  
the cold and hot water faucets.  
– If there is no hot water supply, the  
intake hose with the red marking  
must also be connected to the cold  
water supply.  
– In certain regions (e.g., mountainous  
areas) the water composition may  
cause condensate to form, requiring  
the use of softened water in the  
steam condenser.  
– Connect the intake hose for the  
steam condenser (without water  
safeguard) to the cold water faucet.  
– An acceptable water pressure (flow  
rate) is 10 - 147 psi. However, the  
recommended pressure is  
– See the next page for how to  
connect the DI water line.  
25 - 60 psi.  
– Water valves with 3/4 inch thread are  
to be provided on site. They should  
be easily accessible, because the  
water supply will need to be turned  
off when not in use.  
If the water pressure is below 30 psi,  
the fill time will take longer.  
If the "Fill/Drain" indicator fault code  
"F..E" lights, contact the Miele  
Technical Service Department.  
– The inlet hoses are approx. 5 ½ ft  
(1.7 m) long pressure hoses with  
3/4 inch thread. Do not remove the  
water inlet filters in the threads.  
69  
Plumbing  
– Install the large surface area filters  
(in the kit supplied with the machine)  
between the water valve and the  
water inlet hose (see illustration in  
"Cleaning the water inlet filters"). The  
large surface area filter for distilled  
water is made of stainless steel and  
can be recognized by the matte  
surface.  
DI Connection (pressurized)  
The machine comes factory standard  
for connection to a pressure resistant  
system. The recommended water  
pressure (flow rate) is 25 - 60 psi  
however, water pressure that is  
10 - 147 psi is acceptable.  
^ The DI pressure tested hose (marked  
"H2O pure" with a 3/4" hose thread  
must be connected to the on-site  
water valve for DI purified water.  
If the DI water connection is not  
used, the electronic needs to be  
reprogrammed by Miele Technical  
Service. The water intake hose  
remains at the rear side of the  
machine.  
Do not cut or damage the inlet hose  
in any way.  
Please also refer to the installation  
diagram.  
70  
Plumbing  
Drainage  
^ The drainage system is fitted with a  
non-return valve which prevents dirty  
water from flowing back into the  
machine via the drain hose.  
^ The machine should preferably be
