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".

Water softener  
Checking the water hardness  
Once the dishwasher has been  
installed and connected, run the  
"Rinse + Hold" program. After the  
program has finished, the water  
hardness measured by the sensor can  
be displayed.  
Every dishwasher is tested before  
leaving the factory. Any water  
remaining in the machine is from the  
final factory test and does not  
indicate that the machine has been  
used.  
This value is displayed in °d and may  
vary depending on the water quality.  
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 4°d  
(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be  
softened. This takes place

water hardness of up to 70 °d.  
The "Gel" indicator flashes twice in  
intervals. The measured water hardness  
is shown in the time display in the  
numbers following "p".  
If the hardness of your local supply  
is constantly lower than 4 °d , you do  
not need to add water softener  
salt. The salt indicator turns off  
automatically.  
^ Turn the dishwasher off with "o".

Before using for the first time  
Filling the salt container  
,Inadvertently filling the salt  
container with dishwashing  
detergent will damage the water  
softener.  
,Only use water softener salt  
specially formulated for  
dishwashers. Other salts may  
contain insoluble additives which  
can impair the water softener.  
^ Remove the lower basket and  
unscrew the salt container lid.  
^ Place the provided funnel over the  
salt container. Carefully fill with salt.  
The salt container holds approx.  
4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it is filled,  
water will run out.  
When opening the salt container,  
water will run out. Open the  
container only to refill salt.  
^ Clean any excess salt from the  
threads of the container opening.  
Screw the lid on firmly.  
Important: The salt container must  
be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water  
before adding salt for the first  
time. Water does not have to be  
added with subsequent refills.  
^ If the dishwasher will not be used  
immediately, run the "Short" program.  
This will remove any traces of salt  
from inside the wash cabinet.

Cleaning and Care  
Indicator reflector  
Check and clean your dishwasher  
regularly (approx. every 4-6  
months). This will help avoid faults  
and problems.  
The reflector of the optical indicator is  
located in the steam deflector beneath  
the counter top.  
To clean the reflector, remove it from the  
plastic bracket.  
,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.  
^ Open the door and remove the  
reflector from the bracket.  
^ Clean the reflector and the plastic  
bracket with a damp cloth.  
^ Return the reflector to the bracket.  
Wash cabinet  
Control panel  
Generally, the wash cabinet is self  
cleaning if the correct amount of  
detergent is used.  
^ Clean the control panel with a damp  
cloth.  
The wash cabinet can be cleaned with  
a dishwasher cleaner such as "Dis  
Cleaner" available from your Miele  
dealer, Miele or online at  
Exterior  
^ Use a conditioner suitable for your  
kitchen cabinetry.  
^ Clean wood with a damp cloth and  
wipe dry.  
Door and the door seal  
^ Stainless steel surfaces can be  
cleaned using a non-abrasive  
stainless steel cleaner or with  
dishwashing detergent and warm  
water.  
^ Wipe the door seals regularly with a  
damp cloth to remove food deposits.  
^ Food residue and spilled 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.  
^ To help prevent resoiling, a  
conditioner for stainless steel can  
also be used. Apply sparingly with  
even pressure.

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.

must be opened.  
^ Return the filter so it lies flat in the  
base of the wash cabinet.  
^ Push the clips together a and open  
the flap b.  
^ Lock the filter by turning the handle  
clockwise.  
^ Rinse under running water.  
,The triple filter system must be  
inserted and locked. Large particles  
could get in the circulation system  
and cause a blockage.  
^ Close the flap so that the clip  
engages.

should be inspected and cleaned every  
4 - 6 months.  
^ 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

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).

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.
