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.  
^ Use the correct amount of detergent  
and rinse aid.  
^ When using powder or gel detergent,  
reduce the amount to 2/3 of the  
normal amount 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 "Short".

cleaned using a non-abrasive  
stainless steel cleaner or with  
dishwashing detergent and warm  
water.  
,Abrasive cleaning agents, glass  
cleaning agents, all-purpose  
cleaners, thinner or ammonium  
cleaners should not be used on the  
dishwasher. They will damage the  
surface.  
^ To help prevent resoiling, a  
conditioner for stainless steel can  
also be used. Apply sparingly with  
even pressure.  
Wash cabinet  
Generally, the wash cabinet is self  
cleaning if the correct amount of  
detergent is used.  
Control panel  
^ Plastic control panel should only be  
wiped with a damp cloth or suitable  
cleaning agent designed for use on

Cleaning and Care  
Triple filter system  
The triple filter system in the base of the  
wash cabinet prevents food from being  
redeposited on dishes. It also protects  
the circulation pump from damage  
caused by foreign objects (e.g. broken  
glass, bones).  
,The machine must not be used  
without all the filters in place!  
^ Check and clean the filter system  
every 4-6 months or whenever a  
foreign object is trapped.  
^ Turn the handle counterclockwise to  
release the triple filter system.  
The level of soiling and time it takes  
before the filters need cleaning will vary  
depending on your household.  
^ Lift the filter combination out of the  
machine. Remove any solid particles  
and rinse under running water. Scrub  
with a nylon brush if necessary.  
^ Turn off the dishwasher before  
cleaning.

Cleaning and Care  
Cleaning the water inlet filter  
A filter is incorporated into 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.  
,The plastic housing of the water  
connection contains electrical  
wiring. Do not submerge the  
housing in liquid.  
Do not cut the intake hose or  
submerge it in liquid.  
^ Carefully remove the rubber seal.  
Installing an in-line water filter  
^ Remove the filter using needle nose  
pliers and rinse it under running  
water.  
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.  
^ Reinsert 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.  
Cleaning the filter  
^ Turn off the dishwasher and pull the  
plug.  
^ Slowly turn on the water supply and  
test for leaks.  
^ Turn off the water supply.  
^ Unscrew the intake hose.

drain pump or non-return valve may be  
blocked.  
^ Turn off the dishwasher and pull the  
plug.  
^ Remove the triple filter (see "Triple  
filter system").  
^ Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out  
of the wash cabinet.  
The drain pump is beneath the  
non-return valve (see arrow).  
^ Remove all foreign objects from the  
drain pump (glass or bone splinters).  
^ 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 reinsert the non-return valve  
and secure it with the locking clamp.  
,Make sure the locking clamp  
clicks into place!  
^ Tilt the locking clamp to the side a.  
^ Pull out the non-return valve b and

Plumbing  
Connection to the water supply  
,Do not drink water from the  
dishwasher!  
– The dishwasher can heat its own  
water to the temperature required by  
the wash program. This allows for  
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.  
,Do not cut the intake hose. It  
contains electrical wiring. If the hose  
is cut, the dishwasher will not work.  
There will be a waterleak and you  
could be injured. If the hose is too  
long, coil it neatly and place it  
behind the machine.  
– The inlet hose is approx. 5 ft. (1.5 m)  
long. A 5 ft (1.5 m) flexible metal  
hose (pressure resistant up to  
2030 psi) is available.  
– The water inlet hose comes  
equipped with a 3/4" female hose  
thread connector. This can be  
directly connected to a water supply  
with 3/4" MHT (male hose thread  
ends).  
– Water pressure: Must be between  
4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).

Drainage  
Venting the drainage system  
– The machine comes equipped with a If the dishwasher drain hose is  
built-in non-return valve on the  
discharge side to prevent waste  
water from flowing back into the  
dishwasher.  
connected to a floor drain or to a drain  
pipe that is less than 8" (20 cm) above  
the floor, the drain must be vented.  
Otherwise the water inside the  
dishwasher may siphon out during the  
wash program.  
– The dishwasher is equipped with a  
5 ft (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an  
internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).  
^ Open the dishwasher door and  
remove the lower basket.  
– Drain hose extensions and adapters  
can be ordered from Miele.  
The maximum drain hose length is  
13 ft. (4 m), max. drain height: 39"  
(1 m).  
^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly  
upwards to remove.  
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to  
the drainage outlet on site, use the  
supplied hose clip.  
– The hose can be installed to the left  
or right side.  
– The existing drain pipe for the drain  
hose is designed for various hose  
diameters. The drain pipe must be  
shortened if the drain pipe extends  
too far into the drain hose. The drain  
hose could get clogged.  
^ Cut off the vent cap located at the  
right rear of the triple filter system, as  
illustrated.  
– The drain hose must not be  
shortened.  
– Make sure the hose is installed  
without kinking, pressure or being  
pulled.
