the dishwasher door. These are
outside of the wash cabinet and are
not cleaned by water from the spray
arms.

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.

filter system is self-cleaning.
,The machine must not be used
without all the filters in place!
^ Check and clean the filter system

foreign objects.
^ Turn the handle counterclockwise to
release the triple filter system a.
The level of soiling and time it takes
before the filters need cleaning will vary
depending on your household usage.
^ Lift the filter combination out of the
machine b. Remove any solid
particles and rinse under running
water. Scrub with a nylon brush if
necessary.
^ Turn off the dishwasher before
cleaning.

Connection to the water
supply
– Water pressure: Must be between
4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).
– If the water pressure if lower, a
"Water Intake" notification will be
shown. See "Frequently Asked
Questions" for more information.
,Installation, repairs and other
work by unqualified persons could
be dangerous.
– If the water pressure is higher than
shown, a pressure reducing valve
must be used.
,Do not drink water from the
dishwasher!
Ensure that the water connection is
secure after the first use.
– 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 (max. 140°F / 60°C) or cold water
source.
,To prevent damage to the
dishwasher, it must only be
connected to a fully vented drainage
system.
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.
,Do not cut the intake hose. If the
hose is cut, the dishwasher will not
work. There will be a water leak. If
the hose is too long, coil it neatly
and place it behind or under the
machine.
– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.
(1.5 m) long.
– The water inlet hose comes
equipped with an inlet hose ending
with a 3/8" female compression
fitting. This can be directly
connected to a water supply valve or
to an appropriate coupling.
If not connected directly to a water
supply valve, an appropriate
adapter (not included) is required.

,Make sure the hose is not kinked
or cut when pushing the machine
under the countertop.
– The dishwasher is equipped with a
5 ft (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an
internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).
Venting the drainage system
If the dishwasher drain hose is
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.
– 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).

designed for various hose diameters.
If the nipple diameter is to large or to
small it should be replaced or an
adapter may be used. If the nipple
