Guide to the appliance

Miele dishwashers are available in two

versions:

1. Integrated (“i”) dishwashers

“i”- dishwashers are designed for instal-

lation under a continuous countertop.

The control panel with its accessories

is included with the “i”- dishwasher in a

separate package for on-site installa-

tion. The front is designed to accept a

custom made panel, matching the exist-

ing kitchen cabinets.

Installation directions can be found in

the Installation chapter.

2. “U” dishwashers

The built-under (“U”) dishwashers use

the integrated (“i”) dishwashers as the

basic machine.

By using a decor set (GDU) the “i”dish-

washer can be converted into a “U”

model dishwasher.

GDU installation instructions are in-

cluded in a separate pamphlet sup-

plied with the decor kit.

If not purchased specifically as a

This appliance conforms to

all uniform safety codes and

regulations. To avoid injury

and machine damage, read

the operating instructions

carefully before using the

dishwasher.

“Freestanding” model, only install

the dishwasher under a continuous

countertop which is secured to the

cabinetry.

The dishwasher must be electri-

cally grounded. Install the dish-

washer as per the included Installation

instructions.

This dishwasher is designed for

The manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for damage or injury

caused by improper use or for

uses other than those for which

the appliance is intended.

Do not use commercial or indus-

trial grade detergents, as these

may cause adverse chemical reactions

and damage the machine. Use only

detergents made for residential dish-

washers.

Do not use your dishwasher unless

all enclosure panels are properly in

place.

Do not allow children to play in or

on the dishwasher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When loading items to be

washed:

For dishwashers with visible heating

element

– Load pointed items so that they are

not likely to damage the door seal.

– Load knives with the cutting edge

down to reduce the risk of injuries.

Do not touch the heating element

during or immediately after use.

Do not wash plastic items unless

they are labeled “dishwasher safe”

or the equivalent. For items not labeled,

check the manufacturer’s recommenda-

tions.

Do not abuse, sit, or stand on the

door or dishracks of the dish-

washer.

Remove the front door and cut off

the power cord of the dishwasher

before removing it from service or dis-

carding it. This will help protect child-

ren from injury or accidentally locking

themselves in.

Under certain conditions, hy-

drogen gas may be produced in a

hot water system that has not been

used for two weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the

hot water system has not been used for

such a period, turn on all hot water

faucets and let the water flow from

each for several minutes before using

the dishwasher. This will release any ac-

cumulated hydrogen gas. Do not

smoke or use an open flame during this

time.

Do not drink the water from the

wash cabinet.

gent and rinse aid.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Before using for the first time

Add the correct amount of detergent.

Before using for the first time please

note the following points:

Generally, one to two tablespoons of

detergent will be adequate for most

wash loads. Not enough or too much

detergent can lead to poor wash re-

sults.

Setting the water softener.

The water softener must be set to corre-

spond to the water hardness in your

area. This can be obtained from your

local water company, or by using a test

kit that can be purchased from the

Miele Parts Department.

Cleaning results vary between deter-

gents. If you are not satisfied with the

results from one brand, try another

quality brand before contacting the

Miele Service Department for advice.

The salt reservoir must only be filled

with water and salt. Never fill it with

detergent.

Load the dishes correctly.

Load the dishes so that water can con-

tact all surfaces. Ensure that the spray

arms are not blocked by items which

are too tall for the basket or which ex-

tend through the bottom of the basket.

If necessary, manually rotate the spray

arms to test for clearance.

Adding rinse aid.

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid

reservoir with liquid or powder deter-

gent will damage the reservoir.

Use only powder detergents and liquid

rinse aids formulated for domestic dish-

washers.

The combination filter in the base of

the wash cabinet and the spray arms

must be kept clean.

It is important to choose the correct

program.

These should be regularly inspected

and cleaned if necessary.

Different wash programs should be se-

lected for different loads and different

degrees of soiling. See the program

chart for further program descriptions.

See the corresponding chapters for de-

tailed information on the above points.

When the dishwasher is run for the

first time, the selected program will

not start for approximately 7

minutes.

During these 7 minutes, the Water

Softener reactivation program will

run, and the “Softener” indicator

lamp will be on.

Water softener

Filling the salt reservoir.

The salt reservoir should be filled be-

fore the first use and when the “Salt” in-

dicator lamp lights up. Use water sof-

tener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm grain

size), as other salts may contain inso-

luble additives which can impair the

functioning of the softener.

The salt reservoir holds approx. 4 lbs

(2 kg) of salt.

Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir

with dishwashing detergent will

damage the water softener. Make

sure that only water softener reacti-

vation salt of the proper grain size is

used.

Before adding salt for the first time:

Fill the reservoir with approximately

2 quarts (2 l) of water.

Place the funnel (provided) over the

salt reservoir.

To fill the salt reservoir:

Carefully fill with salt. As it is filled,

water will run out.

Remove the lower basket.

Unscrew and remove the salt reser-

voir cap.

Clean any excess salt from the

threads of the reservoir opening.

Screw the cap on firmly.

If the dishwasher will not be used im-

mediately after reactivation, run the

RINSE & HOLD program. This will

remove any traces of salt from the

cabinet.

Bypassing the Salt indicator lamp.

Salt indicator.

In order to bypass the salt indicator

lamp, you will need a screwdriver and

needle nose pliers.

Remove the salt reservoir cap.

Looking into the salt reservoir, you will

see the top of the float chamber on the

right hand side b.

When the salt reservoir is empty, the

“

Salt” indicator lamp will light, not-

ifying you that the reservoir should be

refilled with reactivation salt.

After the reservoir has been filled, the

water softener is automatically reacti-

vated the next time the dishwasher is

run.

The “Softener” indicator lamp illumi-

nates during this process.

Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot

the float chamber towards the center

of the reservoir.

Note:

If your water is very soft (below

7 gr/gal), the salt indicator lamp will

stay on. In this case the reservoir

should not be filled with salt. The indica-

tor lamp will remain lit and should be

disregarded or bypassed.

Using the needle nose pliers, first

pull the cap c off of the float cham-

ber, then remove the float d.

Replace the float chamber cap,

push the chamber back into its up-

right position, and replace the salt

reservoir cap. The indicator lamp

should now remain off.

The “

Salt” indicator lamp has also

been designed for future program up-

dates (PC). See the “After Sales Ser-

vice” section for further details.

concealed.

Note

If the additional feature “Top Solo” has

been selected with a wash program, all

items must be loaded into the upper

basket and cutlery tray. See the “Addi-

tional features” section for further infor-

mation.

Hollow items such as cups and

glasses should be inverted and

placed in the upper basket.

Concave based items should be

placed at an angle on top of the cof-

fee bar (see page 25),so that water

can run off them freely.

In areas where the water has high

mineral content, it may be necess-

ary to polish silverware after wash-

ing to achieve a high shine.

Tall, narrow, hollow pieces should be

placed in the center of the basket,

rather than in the corners, to ensure

adequate water coverage.

Small cups and glasses should be

placed on the cup racks. Taller mugs

and glasses can be placed under-

neath the rack.

The spray arms must not be blocked

by items which are too tall or hang

through the baskets. If in doubt, test

for free movement by manually rotat-

ing the spray arms.

Some food items may contain natural

dyes that can discolor plastic items

in the dishwasher ( e.g. carrots, to-

matoes, ketchup, etc.). The stability

of plastic items is not affected by this

discoloration.

Items not suitable for dishwashers

– Cutlery with wooden handles.

– Wooden cutting boards.

Please note:

– Silver or aluminum items may suffer

some discoloration.

– Glued items such as old knives with

handles that are glued together

around the shank of the blade.

– Aluminum parts (eg. oven hood

grease filters) should not be cleaned

using commercial or industrial deter-

gents. These high alkaline deter-

gents may damage the machine,

and in extreme instances, cause ex-

plosive chemical reactions.

– Hand made craft items.

– Copper or tin items.

– Plastic items which are not heat resis-

tant.

– Silverware previously cleaned with a

silver polish may be damp or

spotted at the end of a program

where water has adhered to the pol-

ish. This can be rubbed off with a

soft, dry cloth. Silver that has pre-

viously been cleaned in an immer-

sion dip is usually dry at the end of a

program, but may discolor (tarnish).

– Colors on dishware that have been

painted over the glaze may fade

over time.

– Clouding may occur on glasses after

frequent washing.

Miele recommends:

Wash delicate glassware using the

ECONOMY program or the CHINA &

CRYSTAL program with a tempera-

ture of 45 °C/115 °F. This will reduce

the risk of clouding.

There are no standard guidelines for

washing glassware. When in doubt,

wash by hand.

When purchasing new dishes and

cutlery, make sure they are dish-

washer safe.

Adding detergent

Generally, filling the dispenser with one

to two tablespoons of detergent will be

sufficient to ensure thorough cleaning.

If dishes are extra dirty, or if the soil has

been allowed to dry on the dishes be-

fore washing, a program utilizing a pre-

wash cycle should be selected. In this

case, extra detergent can be added to

the small compartment labeled ( I ) in

the center of the dispenser.

Use only powder detergents formu-

lated for residential dishwashers.

Do not use gels or liquid deter-

gents.

Dishwasher detergents contain irri-

tants and corrosive ingredients.

They can cause burns in the mouth

and throat if swallowed, or inhibit

breathing. Keep children away from

detergent and from the dishwasher

when the door is open.

Press the latch on the detergent dis-

penser. The cover will spring open.

To avoid the danger of children com-

ing into contact with dishwasher

detergent, only fill the detergent dis-

penser immediately before starting

the program.

Fill the dispenser with one to two

tablespoons of powder detergent.

Capacities:

Compartment I (prewash) takes a maxi-

mum of 1 ounce (25 ml) and Compart-

ment II (main wash) takes a maximum

of 3 ounces (80 ml) when completely

filled. There are horizontal marks to as-

sist you in filling Compartment II. The

marks indicate a level of approximately

3/4, 1, and 1 1/4 ounces (20, 25 and

30 ml respectively).

Close the cover. The cover will al-

ways be open at the end of a wash

program (excluding the RINSE &

HOLD program).

pend on the type of dishes and the de-

gree of soiling.

Use this program for lightly to nor-

mally soiled dishware.

In most cases the LIGHT WASH pro-

gram, a NORMAL program or the IN-

TENSIVE program will give excellent re-

sults.

A warm water intake (temperature of

the incoming water) of at least

45 °C/115 °F is necessary for this

program.

The available programs and some of

their applications are listed in the Pro-

gram Chart on the next two pages.

Water is not heated in this program.

Only 0.10 kWh of electricity (approx.) is

used during this cycle.

The drying result may not match that of

a program with a full drying cycle.

The higher the temperature of the in-

take water, the better the drying results.

Open the door of the dishwasher

2-3 inches (5-6 mm) at the end of the

program to speed the drying pro-

cess.

Additional features

Top Solo (21)

(for smaller amounts of dishware)

When this feature is selected, the ma-

jority of the water is directed to the top

and middle spray arms of the dish-

washer. Its use is recommended when all

the dishes or cutlery needing cleaning

can be loaded into the upper basket and

cutlery tray.

“Top Solo” can be selected with all

wash programs.

Turn on the dishwasher using the

“ON-OFF” button (16).

Lightly soiled plates or serving platters

can still be placed in the bottom basket

if large spaces are left between them.

Do not place dishes, bowls or other hol-

low containers in the bottom basket.

Adjusting the upper basket to its lowest

position will allow it to accommodate

larger plates.

Press the “Top Solo” button (21).

For all programs except “Energy Saver”

and “Rinse & Hold”, the “Top Solo” indi-

cator lamp will illuminate and the pro-

gram duration will change.

INTENSIVE 55°C/130°F program uses

3.2 gallons (12 liters) of water instead

of the usual 5 gallons (19 liters).

At the completion of the program “Top

Solo” will be canceled.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the water intake filter. Cleaning the filter.

Disconnect the dishwasher from the

electrical supply (unplug it or shut off

the circuit breaker).

The water valve housing on the inlet

hose contains electrical compo-

nents and should not be immersed,

or run through water.

A filter is incorporated in the intake

hose that is attached to the dishwa-

sher’s main shutoff valve. If your water

supply is hard, or the pipes contain

sediment; this filter may clog and pre-

vent sufficient water from entering the

wash cabinet. It can be cleaned as fol-

lows:

Turn off the main shutoff valve and

unscrew the intake hose.

Carefully remove the rubber seal.

Remove the filter using needle nose

pliers and clean it by rinsing under

running water.

Replace the filter and seal. Make

sure they are seated correctly.

Screw the intake hose back onto the

water valve, making certain it is not

cross-threaded.

Slowly turn on the valve and test for

leaks.

Installing an in-line water filter.

If your water supply contains a large

number of insoluble substances, we

recommend installing a filter between

the valve and the intake hose connec-

tion. These filters can be obtained

from the Miele Parts Department.

Dishwasher installation

The “i” model dishwasher is specially

designed for installation under a con-

tinuous countertop.

1.Installing the steam

deflector, (if applicable).

A stainless steel plate is supplied to

protect the underside of the countertop

against steam rising from the dish-

washer when the door is opened. If the

countertop is made of Corian®, gra-

nite, marble or other solid, waterproof

material, the steam deflector should not

be used.

A panel can be custom made for instal-

lation on the front of the dishwasher, as-

suring a perfect match with the kitchen

cabinetry.

If a standard non-cabinet matching

dishwasher installation is desired, the

“i” model dishwasher can be converted

into a “U” model through the addition of

a GDU 60/65 decor kit. The decor kit

comes supplied with separate installa-

tion instructions.

To ensure stability, these dish-

washers should only be installed

under a continuous countertop

which is securely fastened to the

cabinet base units.

Dimensions:

Squeeze a bead of sealant from the

supplied tube into the angle formed

by the curved edge b of the cover-

plate.

Align the plate c with the lower front

edge of the countertop (see illustra-

tion) and use the supplied tacks to

nail it in place.

On countertops with wood or lami-

nate edging, the tacks should be

nailed through the rear holes of the

plate.

1) with 35"

(890 mm) machine height

2) with 33 1/8" (840 mm) machine height

Range of adjustment is approximately

2" (5 cm).

2.Installing the dishwasher

under the countertop.

It is preferable to install the main water

and electric supplies so that they can

be accessed through an adjacent

cabinet, rather than situating them be-

hind the machine. See the “Plumbing”

and “Electrical” sections for proper con-

nection procedures before continuing.

Place the slides, with the ratchet at

the rear, onto the dishwasher legs.

Unscrew the legs to raise the ma-

chine to within 1/4" (5 mm) of the

underside of the countertop, and

check that the machine is level,

before sliding it into its opening.

Certain steps in the installation proce-

dures require that the dishwasher be

pulled out of its opening. For this rea-

son, perform the final plumbing and

electrical connections after the ma-

chine has been levelled and the front

panel has been mounted.

Install the slides.

Two slides are included and should be

installed on the feet of the dishwasher

before the machine is pushed under

the countertop. This will allow the ma-

chine to slide easier, protect the floor,

and allow adjustment of the rear level-

ing legs from the front of the machine.

Push the machine into the opening,

making sure the electrical cable and

hoses can reach their connection

points without being kinked.

possible, will make adjusting the front

legs easier. Make sure the machine is

level when adjustments are complete.

Several turns may be needed to set the

correct height. A low speed electric or

cordless screwdriver can also be used.

The dishwasher should be raised until it

just touches the underside of the counter-

top.

For kitchens utilizing one continuous

or a cabinet matching toekick

Open the dishwasher door and

remove the caps covering the mount-

ing holes on the outer edge of the

wash chamber.

To prevent damaging the front

panel, and before installing the toe-

kick, measurements must be taken

to ensure that the toekick will not in-

terfere with the complete opening of

the dishwasher door.

Fasten the dishwasher to the ad-

jacent cabinets using the supplied

screws and bushings. Make sure a

bushing is placed over the screw be-

fore inserting it into its mounting hole.

The panel overhang (P), and toekick

depth of recess (R), determine the maxi-

mum dishwasher toekick height (H).

Tighten the screws and replace the

caps.

If the panel contacts the toekick while

the dishwasher door is being opened,

the dishwasher toekick must be cut

shorter or recessed deeper.

The side mounting holes should

chamber in the rare event of an internal

water valve failure.

In order for this function to be active,

the door must be shut and the ma-

chine must be “ON”.

The water inlet hose comes equipped

with a 3/4" female hose thread connec-

tor. This can be directly connected to a

shut off valve with 3/4" male hose

thread ends.

It is preferable that the hose assem-

bly be installed vertically so the hose

exits from the bottom of the valve

box.

If this is not possible, it can be installed

hoizontally, provided the hose exit re-

mains beneath the main body of the

box (see illustration). (The “lightning

bolt” should be above the “arrow” when

the installation is complete).The valve

box should also be installed so that it is

at least 8" (24 cm) above the floor (or

base of the cabinet), and so the excess

coiled hose will remain lower than the

box at all points.

Hot water supply specifications:

Recommended temperature: 120°F

(49°C)

Maximum temperature: 140°F (60°C)

Water pressure: 4.5 - 145 psi

(0.3 - 10 bar)

An air gap is built into the water inlet

system to prevent potable water mixing

with waste water.

A 2" x 4" (60 x 115 mm) cutout in either

the side or bottom of the cabinet adjoin-

ing the dishwasher is necessary if the

valve box needs to be passed through.

Plumbing

The water pressure must be between

4.5 and 145 psi (0.3 and 10 bar).

If the water pressure is too low the ma-

chine may not take in enough water in

the alloted time and the “Water Intake” in-

dicator lamp will flash.

If the water pressure is too high, a press-

ure reducer must be installed.

Existing plumbing:

If the standard 3/8" copper plumbing for

a dishwasher already exists with a com-

pression fitting and valve as pictured:

Do not, under any circumstances,

cut the intake hose. If the hose is

cut, the dishwasher will not work,

you will have a water leak and you

could be injured. If the hose is too

long, coil it neatly and place it be-

hind the machine.

Cut the 3/8" copper tubing after the

valve.

Install the 3/8" compression to 3/4"

MHT (Male Hose Thread) adapter

(supplied with the machine), as illus-

trated.

Connect the inlet hose to the existing

valve/adapter assembly.

Electrical wiring and components

should not come into contact with

any plumbing fixtures or hoses.

Plumbing

Drain system specifications:

Drain connection:

The machine comes equipped with:

– A 5 ft. long (1.5 m) flexible drain

hose with an internal diameter of 7/8"

(22 mm).

– A built-in swivel connector which

allows the drain hose to be routed in

any direction.

– A built in non-return valve on the dis-

charge side to prevent waste water

from flowing back into the dish-

washer.

– A built-in odor trap on the discharge

side to prevent odors from entering

the kitchen.

D = 24 " (60 cm) (nominal)

Connect the supplied drain hose to the

drain pipe of the kitchen sink either:

Maximum drain height: 3 ft (1 m)

A - above the trap using the clamp pro-

vided, or

Maximum drain hose length: 12 ft (3.5 m)

B - to the dishwasher connector of the

garbage disposal.

Do not shorten the drain hose.

Electrical wiring and components

should not come into contact with

any plumbing fixtures or hoses.

When connecting the drain hose to

the garbage disposal, make sure to

remove the knockout from the con-

nection nipple. (See disposal manu-

facturers instructions for this proce-

dure.)

IMPORTANT:

The dishwasher should be con-

nected directly to the drain line.

A sample of a correct water and drain

installation of a dishwasher is shown.

A hose that attaches to a sink spray

can burst if it is installed on the

same water line as the dishwasher.

If your sink has one, it is recom-

mended that the hose be discon-

nected and the hole plugged.

Plumbing

Venting the drainage system

Additional note.

The dishwasher drain must be vented

only if the drain hose is connected to a

floor drain or to a drain pipe that is

below the level of the bottom of the

lower basket; otherwise the water in-

side of the dishwasher may siphon out

during the course of a wash program.

Since all Miele dishwashers are

equipped with an odor trap and non-re-

turn valve, the drain hose can be con-

nected directly to the drain pipe as illus-

trated.

If plumbing codes require an external

air gap on the discharge side of the

dishwasher, the following requirements

must be met:

To vent the drain:

Open the dishwasher door.

– No part of the drain hose should be

higher than 39" (1 mm).

– If installed horizontally, the drain

hose can be up to 12 ft. (3.5 m) long.

If the drain hose is angled upwards

in any way, it cannot be longer than

5 ft. (1.5 m).

– The drain connection should be

made as close as possible to the

dishwasher.

– The internal diameter (7/8" or 22 mm)

of the drain hose should not be re-

duced at any point.

Cut off the vent cap located at the

right rear of the dishwasher, behind

the filters, as illustrated.
