Water softener
If your water hardness is consistently
lower than 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you do
not need to add dishwasher salt.
However, the dishwasher must still be
programmed to correspond to the local
water hardness.
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 (values are in US gallons)
(140 ppm), the water should be
softened. This takes place
Where the water hardness fluctuates

Cutlery tray (SC units)
Spoon heads should be placed in
contact with at least one of the serrated
retainers of the cutlery tray to ensure
that water runs off freely.
The removable cutlery tray makes
unloading 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
holders. Spoons should be placed in
the opposite direction with the handles
between the holders.
Longer items such as soup ladles, cake
slices, mixing spoons and long knives
should be placed lengthwise in the
indentation of the cutlery tray.
Spoons with thick handles may have to
be placed as knives and forks with their
heads in the holders.

Adding detergent
,Dishwasher detergents contain
irritant and corrosive ingredients.

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

The filter system should be cleaned
every 4 - 6 months or whenever a
foreign object is trapped.

Remove any solid particles and rinse
under running water. Scrub with a
nylon brush if necessary.
^ Turn off the dishwasher before
cleaning.
^ Turn the handle counterclockwise to
release the triple filter system.

Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the wash cabinet
Cleaning the exterior
Generally, the wash cabinet is self
cleaning if the correct amount of
dishwasher 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
dishwasher 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.

Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the water inlet filter
,The plastic valve housing on the
intake hose contains electrical
components and should not be
immersed, 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
circuit breaker).
Installing an in-line water filter
^ 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’s Technical
Service Department.
^ 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.

Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If the dishwasher is not completely
drained at the end of a program, the
drain pump or non-return valve may be
blocked.
^ Turn off the dishwasher.
^ Remove the triple filter (see "Cleaning
the filter in the wash cabinet").
^ Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out
of the wash cabinet.
^ Pull out the non-return valve and
rinse well under running water.
^ Tilt the locking clamp to the side.
The drain pump is beneath the
non-return valve (see arrow).
^ 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 refit the non-return valve
and secure it with the locking clamp.
^ Refit and lock the filter in place.
