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".

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.

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.

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
^ Turn off the dishwasher and pull the
plug.
^ Slowly turn on the water supply and
test for leaks.

drain pump (glass or bone splinters).
^ 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.

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 approximately 5 ft.
(1.5m) long. A 5 ft. (1.5m) extension
hose is available from the Technical
Service Parts Department at the
phone number listed on the back of
this manual.
– 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).

Drainage
Venting the drainage system
– The machine comes equipped with a If the dishwasher drain hose is
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.
