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 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. ^ Make full use of the baskets without overloading for the most economical washing. ^ Use the correct amount of detergent 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. ^ 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 "Express".
Before using for the first time
To open the door Child Safety Lock
^ Press the release catch inside the door grip. If the door is opened during operation, the dishwasher will stop running. Once the door is closed the program will restart.
The Child Safety Lock is designed to prevent children from opening the dishwasher. ^ To lock the door, push the slider below the door grip to the right. ^ To unlock the door, push the slider to the left.

To close the door

^ Push the baskets in. ^ Lift the door and push until it clicks into place.

Water softener

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. 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. The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation. If using "Tab" products which include salt, you should still add salt to the machine to achieve optimal cleaning results. Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area. The dishwasher must be programmed to correspond to the water hardness in your area. If the hardness of your local supply is constantly lower than 4 d (4 gr/gal [US]), you do not need to add water softener salt. However the water hardness level must still be programmed. In areas where the water hardness fluctuates (example 37 - 50 d [gr/gal]) always program the machine to the higher value (in this example 50 d [52 gr/gal] ). If there is a fault, it will help the service technician to know the hardness of your local water supply. ^ Please note your water hardness:: d (gr/gal) The water hardness was programmed to 15 d (16 gr/gal) by factory default

Loading the dishwasher

Items not recommended for dishwashing
Cutlery with wooden handles Wooden cutting boards 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 Plastic items that are not heat resistant Copper, brass, tin or aluminum Dishes with color painted over the glaze. These dishes may fade over time 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 Glassware: There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware, when in doubt wash by hand. When purchasing new dishes, glasses and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe. Only wash items marked "dishwasher safe" in the dishwasher. If fine glassware is washed in the dishwasher select the "China & Crystal" program*. This will reduce the risk of clouding. Silver and aluminum: 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. If left to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish and marinades. Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals. Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease filters, with domestic dishwasher detergent only.

* depending on model

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.

^ To open, press the latch on the detergent dispenser. The flap will spring open. The flap is always open at the end of a program. The horizontal marks in compartment II indicate the levels of approximately 1 and 2 tablespoons (20 and 30 ml) respectively. Compartment I holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons (10 ml).

Turning on

^ Open the water supply, if closed. ^ Open the door. ^ Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. ^ Turn the dishwasher on "K". The "Start/Stop" indicator flashes and the indicator next to the last program selected is lit.
Selecting and starting a program
Choose your program according to the type of load and soiling. See the "Program Guide" for more information. ^ Select the desired program with the "Program" button. The program indicator of the selected program lights. The time display shows the duration of the selected program in hours and minutes. ^ Select an additional function if desired, see "Additional options" for more information. ^ Press the "Start/Stop" button. The program starts. The indicators for "Start/Stop", "Rinse" and the program selected will light up. If the options "Turbo" and/or "Tab" are selected the relevant indicators will also light up. Cancel a program only in the first few minutes. Otherwise important program steps may be interrupted.

Program sequence display

Once a program has been started the current stage of the program is shown in the program sequence display by the indicator lights.
Preparing your appliance for an extended vacaion
If you elect to turn off the water to your home for an extended period of time, please note that this may not be enough to reduce the risk of a leak. To be completely safe, you must turn off the water supply to each individual appliance. This means under the sink for a dishwasher, at the laundry bib for your washer, etc.

Interrupting a program

A program is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed, the program will continue from where it was interrupted.

Changing a program

If the detergent flap is already open, do not change the program. If a program has already started and you wish to change it: ^ Press and hold the "Start/Stop" button for at least one second. The program is canceled. ^ Select the desired program and start as usual.
,Open the door with care. The water in the dishwasher is hot. Danger of scalding. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 secs. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle. Close the door firmly until it clicks into place.

Additional options

Options
With the "Options" button the functions "Turbo" and "Tab" can be selected. ^ Turn the dishwasher on "K". The "Start/Stop" indicator flashes. ^ Press the "Options" button until the desired function lights up. The option will remain active for all programs until the setting is changed again. ^ A program can now be started as usual or the dishwasher can be turned off "K".
To achieve the best results, the dishwasher can be programmed for the type of detergent being used. The "Options" button can be used to select between normal detergents (powder or gel) and tabs. The program sequence is adapted to the selected detergent type. Depending on the program selected the run-time may be extended considerably. If the "Tab" indicator is not lit, the dishwasher is set for normal detergent. If the "Tab" indicator is lit than the program sequence is adapted to suit detergents than contain rinse aid (as well as other components where applicable). The rinse aid dispenser and indicator light are deactivated. Follow the instructions of the detergent manufacturer. The cleaning and drying performance of normal detergents versus tabs varies greatly.
The "Turbo" function can be used to reduce the program run-times, in programs in which the option is available. Using the "Turbo" option during the "Express" program will rinse the dishes without heat, e.g. to avoid smells, if a complete program is not yet needed.

PC Update

The Program Correction (PC) allows a technician to update the dishwasher to make use of new technology. When, for example, technological developments offer advanced modifications to your existing program cycles a service technician will be able to input these into your machine controls via the indicator light marked PC. Miele will provide information when such possibilities become available.

Transport

To transport the dishwasher, e.g. when moving to a new home, note the following: Empty the dishwasher. Secure any loose parts, e.g. hoses, cables, cutlery baskets. Transport the dishwasher in the upright position. If unavoidable it may be transported on its back. Do not transport it on its side or on the door. Residual water in the machine could leak and cause electrical damage.
User Maintenance Instructions
To prevent accidents and appliance damage, read these instructions before installation or use.

Cleaning and Care
