Energy saving washing  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
This dishwasher is economical in the  
use of water and electricity. For best  
results follow these tips:  
The cardboard box and packaging  
protect the appliance during shipping.  
These materials are biodegradable and  
recyclable. Please recycle.

^ For fastest possible wash times, with  
slightly higher energy consumption,  
connect the dishwasher to a hot  
water source.  
Disposal of an old machine  
^ Make full use of the baskets without  
overloading for the most economical  
washing.  
Old appliances may contain materials  
that can be recycled. Please contact  
your local recycling authority about the  
possibility of recycling these materials.

and rinse aid. Detergent dosage is  
dependent upon the amount of  
soiling and type of dishware being  
washed. See the "Program Guide" for  
more information.  
Ensure that the appliance presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal. Before discarding an old  
appliance, unplug it from the outlet, cut  
off its power cord and remove any  
doors to prevent hazards.  
^ When using powder or liquid  
detergent, reduce the amount to 2/3  
of the normal amount when washing  
a small load.

Water softener  
In areas where the water hardness  
fluctuates (e.g. 37-50 °d [39-52 gr/gal])  
always program the machine to the  
higher value (in this example 50 °d  
[52 gr/gal]).  
To achieve good cleaning results, the  
dishwasher needs soft water (water that  
is low in minerals). Hard water results in  
calcium deposits on dishware and in

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.  
Important: The salt container must  
be filled with 1 quart (1 l) of water  
before adding salt for the first time  
so the salt can dissolve  
properly. Water does not have to be  
added with subsequent refills.  
Filling the salt container  
,Inadvertently filling the salt  
container with dishwashing  
detergent (including liquid  
detergent) will damage the water

,Only use water softener salt  
specially formulated for  
dishwashers. Other salts may  
contain insoluble additives which  
can impair the water softener.  
^ Place the provided funnel over the  
salt container and carefully fill it with  
salt. The salt container holds approx.  
2.2 lbs (1 kg) of salt, depending on  
the type of salt.

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.

basket, a variety of plate dimensions  
can be accommodated.  
The upper basket can be raised or  
lowered to accommodate tall items.  
For example: If the upper basket is in  
its highest position a plate with a  
diameter of 12 3/16" (31 cm) can be fit in  
the lower basket.  
The basket can also be angled to fit tall  
items in both, the upper and lower  
baskets. The angles should not be set  
to opposite extremes. This will block the  
middle spray arm. Take care when  
sliding the basket in and out in this  
position.  
^ Slide out the upper basket.  
^ Pull up the levers at the sides of the  
upper basket and adjust the basket  
height.  
^ Release the levers and the basket will  
lock in place.

bowls, etc.  
Small plates such as saucers can  
also be arranged in the lower basket.

Comfort insert  
Bottle holder (depending on the  
model)  
For cups, glasses, plates, bowls, pots,  
etc.  
The bottle holder is for washing narrow  
items e.g. for milk bottles or baby  
bottles.  
^ To insert tall items, raise the cup rest.  
^ Stemware, e.g. wine, champagne  
and brandy glasses, can be leaned  
against the cup rest or suspended  
from it.  
^ Place the bottle holder in the lower  
basket as shown. If placed  
elsewhere, water from the spray jets  
will not reach the inside of the bottle.  
The bottles will not be properly  
cleaned.  
Removing:  
^ Push the insert down a and at the  
same time push the latch inwards b.  
Inserting:  
^ Insert the comfort insert at the back  
of the lower basket.  
^ Slide the hooks of the insert under  
the cross wire of the lower basket.  
^ Push down on the insert to snap it  
into position.

Cutlery tray  
^ Arrange the cutlery as shown in the  
cutlery tray.  
Spoons with thick handles may have to  
be placed as knives and forks with their  
heads in the holders.  
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  
down and forks with the prongs  
between the holders. Spoons should be  
placed in the opposite direction with  
the handles between the holders so  
that water can run off more easily.  
The upper spray arm must not be  
blocked by tall cutlery items.

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). During normal use, the  
filter system is self-cleaning.  
,The machine must not be used  
without all the filters in place!  
^ Check and clean the filter system  
periodically for any trapped or  
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.

circulation system and cause a  
blockage.

engages.

Plumbing  
Waterproof system  
Connection to the water  
supply  
All Miele dishwashers have a safety  
valve located on the incoming water  
line and a sealed underside with a  
water sensor.  
,Installation, repairs and other  
work by unqualified persons could  
be dangerous.  
If a fault occurs, the water intake is  
stopped and the drain pump is  
activated. Water damage, if any, is  
minimized.  
,Do not drink water from the  
dishwasher!  
Providing the dishwasher was installed  
correctly by a Miele technician, the  
waterproof system will protect you from  
water damage throughout the lifetime of  
the machine.  
– 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.  
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.  
– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.  
(1.5m) long.  
– 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).  
If not connected directly to a water  
supply valve, an appropriate  
adapter (not required) is required.

Plumbing  
– Water pressure: Must be between  
4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).  
Ensure that the water connection is  
secure after the first use.  
– If the water pressure if lower, a  
"Water Intake" notification will be  
shown. See "Frequently Asked  
Questions" for more information.  
,To prevent damage to the  
dishwasher, it must only be  
connected to a fully vented drainage  
system.  
– If the water pressure is higher than  
shown, a pressure reducing valve  
must be used.  
,Do not cut the intake hose. It  
contains electrical wiring. If the hose  
is cut, the dishwasher will not work.  
There will be a water leak and you  
could be injured. If the hose is too  
long, coil it neatly and place it  
behind the machine.

Plumbing  
Drainage  
– The drain hose must not be  
shortened.  
– The machine comes equipped with a  
built-in non-return valve on the  
discharge side to prevent waste  
water from flowing back into the  
dishwasher.  
,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).  
– Use the clamp provided to attach the ^ Open the dishwasher door and  
hose to the dishwashers P trap or  
disposal connection (see the  
"Installation Diagram").  
remove the lower basket.  
^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly  
upwards to remove.  
The hose must always be attached  
on the sink side of the P trap.  
^ Cut off the vent cap located at the  
right rear of the triple filter system, as  
illustrated.  
When attaching the hose to a  
garbage disposal fitting, make sure  
the plug which is normally blocking  
the fitting is knocked out or  
removed.  
– The hose can be angled to the left or  
right side at the rear of the machine.  
– The existing nipple that the drain  
hose is connected to may be  
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  
extends more than 2" (50 mm) into  
the drain hose it should be  
shortened, or the hose could clog.
