JnstaJJation

11. Make the p_umbing connections
An air gap is built into the water inlet system to prevent potable water from mixing with waste water. The dishwasher can heat its own water to the temperatures required by the wash program. This allows the option of connecting 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. Hot water suppJy specifications: Recommended temperature: 120 F (49 C), max 140 F (60 C) Water pressure: Must be between 5 - 145 psi (0.3 -!0 bar). If the water pressure is too low, the "Intake/Drain" or "Intake" indicator may flash (see Operating Instructions/ "Frequently asked questions"). If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducer must be installed. New pJumbing: The water inlet hose comes equipped with a s/,, female hose thread _4 connector, This can be directly connected to a shut off valve with 3/4" MHT (male hose thread ends). Preferred installation:
The hose assembly should be installed vertically so the hose exits from the bottom of the valve box (not as shown). Jf this is net possible, it can be installed horizontally, provided the hose exit remains beneath the main body of the valve box (see illustration). The valve box should also be installed so that it is at least 10" (24 cm) above the floor (or base of the cabinet), so that the excess coiled hose will remain lower than the valve box at all points.

Venting the drainage system Additional note
If the dishwasher drain hose is connected to a floor drain or to a drain pipe that is less than 8" (20 era) above the floor, the drain must be vented, Otherwise the water inside the dishwasher may siphon out during the wash program, To vent the drain: [] Open the dishwasher door and remove the lower baskeL

Since all Miele dishwashers are equipped with an odor trap and nonreturn valve, the drain hose can be connected directly to the drain pipe as illustrated, If plumbing codes require an external air gap on the discharge side of the dishwasher, the following requirements must be met: No part of the drain hose should be higher than 39" (! m), 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 (! ,5 m), The drain connection should be made as close as possible to the dishwasher, The internal diameter (7/8" or 22 ram) of the drain hose should not be reduced at any point,
[] Cut off the vent cap located at the right rear of the triple filter system, as illustrated,
12. Make the e_ectrica_ connection

softener
If your water hardness is consistently lower than 8 gr/ga! (!40 ppm), you do not need to add dishwasher salt. However, the dishwasher must still be programmed to correspond to the local water hardness. Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 9- 17 gr/ga! (!60- 3!0 ppm), always program the machine to the higher value, 17 gr/ga! (310 ppm)in this example. If there is a fault, it will help the service technician to know the hardness of your local water supply. [] Please note the water hardness: gr/gal

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 8 gr/gal (values are in US gallons) (!40 ppm), the water should be softened. This takes place automatically in the unit's integrated water softener. 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. The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.

totems not recommended dishwashing
Cutlery with wooden handles. Wooden cutting boards. Glued items such as old knives with handles glued together around the shank of the blade. Hand made craft items, antique, metal trimmed or decorative glassware. Lead crystal. Copper, brass, tin or pewter, Plastic items that are not heat resistant. Dishes with color painted over the glaze. These dishes may fade over time. Cast iron pots and pans. Clouding or etching may occur on glasses after frequent washing. When purchasing new dishes, glasses and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe. Silver and aJuminum: 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, legumes, fish, fish brine and marinades. Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals.

@_assware:

There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware but, when in doubt wash by hand.
- Wash delicate glassware with a low temperature program and without the extended drying feature to reduce the risk of clouding. See the "Program guide". If crystal or delicate glasses will be washed frequently, connect the dishwasher to cold, rather than hot water.
The removable cutlery tray makes unloading flatware easy. Simply carry the cutlery tray to where the flatware is stored and put the entire basket away in one trip. 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 and forks with the prongs between the holders. Spoons should be placed in the opposite direction with the handles between the holders. Longer items such as soup ladles, cake slices, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lengthwise in the indentation of the cutlery tray.
Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off freely.
Spoons with thick handles may have to be placed as knives and forks with their heads in the holders.

21 "Top SoJo" (_) Using "Top Solo" will save water and energy. This program is recommended when there is only a small load to clean. "Top Solo" can be selected with all programs. With this feature, water is directed only to the top and middle spray arms. This means that the water jets are only aimed at items in the upper basket and the cutlery tray. The middle spray arm also directs water downwards, so lightly soiled plates or platters can be placed in the lower basket. When using this program, do not place bowls or other hollow containers in the lower basket. Because a smaller load is being washed the amount of detergent used can be reduced to 1 1/4tablespoons (20 ml).
