^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt container lid. When opening the salt container, water will run out. Open the container only to refill salt. ^ 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. ^ Clean any excess salt from the threads of the container opening. Screw the lid on firmly. ^ If the dishwasher will not be used immediately, run the "Express" program (without the "Turbo" function). This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.
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.

Salt indicator

^ When the "Salt" indicator comes on, refill the salt after the program is finished. After the container has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is started. The "Salt" indicator will be lit during this process. It will go out once the reactivation process is complete.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware. The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir and the set amount will be automatically dosed.
,Filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.
When using "Tab" detergents rinse aid is not needed. ^ Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir until it is visible on the surface of the screen. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 3.7 oz (110 ml). ^ Press on the flap until you hear it click shut. Failure to close it all the way allows water to enter the reservoir during the wash program. ^ Clean any spilled rinse aid. The flap will remain closed during normal operation.

Adding rinse aid

^ Press the button in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

Rinse aid indicator

When the rinse aid indicator first comes on, there will be enough rinse aid left for 2 - 3 washes. ^ The rinse aid indicator on the control panel will light when the rinse aid reservoir needs refilling. If the "Tab" function is selected, the rinse aid indicator will not light, see "Additional options - Tab".

Adjusting the dosage

The dosage selector is preset to 3. This dispenses approximately 3 ml of rinse aid per program. It can be adjusted from 0 to 6. Use a higher setting if spots appear on dry glassware. Use a lower setting if streaking appears on dishes or glasses. ^ Turn the dishwasher off "s". ^ Press and hold the "Start/Stop" button and at the same time turn the dishwasher on "s". Hold the "Start/Stop" button until the "Start/Stop" indicator comes on. If it does not come on, start over. ^ Press the "Delay Start" button three times. The "Delay Start" indicator flashes 3 times in intervals. The time display shows "p 3". A rinse aid amount of 3 ml is selected (factory default setting). The set value is shown in the time display after the "p". ^ Select the desired setting with the "Start/Stop" button. Every touch of the button adjusts the level. The programmed dosage is saved. ^ Turn the dishwasher off "s".

^ The spray arms must not be blocked by items that are too tall or hang through the baskets. Check clearance by manually rotating the spray arms. ^ Place very small items in the cutlery tray or basket so they do not fall to the bottom of the wash cabinet. ^ Food residue and spilled liquids should be cleaned from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms.
ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash and sand do not dissolve and will be distributed throughout the inside of the dishwasher. Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration and damage to the dishwasher. ^ Scrape food from dishes before placing them in the dishwasher, rinsing is not necessary. ^ Some foods contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items may discolor permanently if they come in contact with food dyes. ^ All items can be placed anywhere in the baskets. ^ Load dishes so that water can reach all surfaces. Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces. ^ Make sure that all items are securely positioned. ^ Hollow items such as cups and glasses should be placed upside down in the baskets. ^ To ensure good water coverage, tall, narrow and hollow items, 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.

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.

Specifications The dishwasher comes equipped with a 4 ft (1.2 m) power cord with a molded plug for connection to 120 V, 60 Hz, 15 A grounded receptacle.

Plumbing

Waterproof system
All Miele dishwashers have a safety valve located on the incoming water line and a sealed underside with a water sensor. If a fault occurs, the water intake is stopped and the drain pump is activated.
,To prevent damage to the dishwasher, it must only be connected to a fully vented drainage system.
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. The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) long. A 5 ft. (1.5m) drain extension is available from Miele. 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).
,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.

Drainage

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. The dishwasher is equipped with a 5 ft (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm). 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). If the hose is to be directly fitted to the drainage outlet on site, use the supplied hose clip (see assembly plan). 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. The drain hose must not be shortened. 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. ^ Open the dishwasher door and remove the lower basket. ^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove.
^ Cut off the vent cap located at the right rear of the triple filter system, as illustrated.
,Make sure the hose is installed without kinking, pressure or being pulled.
