Guide to the appliance
Miele dishwashers are available in two
versions:
1. Integrated (“i”) dishwashers
“i”- dishwashers are designed for instal-
lation under a continuous countertop.
The control panel with its accessories
is included with the “i”- dishwasher in a
separate package for on-site installa-
tion. The front is designed to accept a
custom made panel, matching the exist-
ing kitchen cabinets.
Installation directions can be found in
the Installation chapter.
2. “U” dishwashers
The built-under (“U”) dishwashers use
the integrated (“i”) dishwashers as the
basic machine.
By using a GDU decor kit the “i”dish-
washer can be converted into a “U”
model dishwasher.
GDU installation instructions are in-
cluded in a separate pamphlet sup-
plied with the decor kit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using your dish-
washer, follow all basic
safety precautions.
This appliance conforms to
all uniform safety codes and
regulations. To avoid injury
and machine damage, read
the operating instructions
carefully before using the
dishwasher.
This dishwasher is designed for
household use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage or injury
caused by improper use or for
uses other than those for which
the appliance is intended.
Repairs should only be performed
by qualified personnel. Disconnect
the appliance from the power supply
before servicing (pull out the plug or
turn off the circuit breaker).
If not purchased specifically as a
“Freestanding” model, only install
the dishwasher under a continuous
countertop which is secured to the
cabinetry.
The dishwasher must be electri-
cally grounded. Install the dish-
washer as per the included Installation
instructions.
Use only powder detergents and
liquid rinse aids recommended for
dishwashers. Never use gels or liquid
detergents.
Do not use commercial or indus-
trial grade detergents, as these
may cause adverse chemical reactions
and damage the machine. Use only
detergents made for residential dish-
washers.
Do not use your dishwasher unless
all enclosure panels are properly in
place.
Do not allow children to play in or
on the dishwasher.
Keep all detergents and rinse aids
out of the reach of children.
Dishwasher detergents contain So-
dium Silicate and Sodium Carbo-
nate. In case of eye contact, immediate-
ly flush with water. Call a physician or
poison control.
Do not tamper with the
controls.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When loading items to be
washed:
– Load pointed items so that they are
not likely to damage the door seal.
– Load knives with the cutting edge
down to reduce the risk of injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless
they are labeled “dishwasher safe”
or the equivalent. For items not labeled,
check the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
Do not abuse, sit, or stand on the
door or dishracks of the dish-
washer.
Remove the front door and cut off
the power cord of the dishwasher
before removing it from service or dis-
carding it. This will help protect child-
ren from injury or accidentally locking
themselves in.
Under certain conditions, hy-
drogen gas may be produced in a
hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the
hot water system has not been used for
such a period, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water flow from
each for several minutes before using
the dishwasher. This will release any ac-
cumulated hydrogen gas. Do not
smoke or use an open flame during this
time.
Do not drink the water from the
wash cabinet.
For dishwashers with visible heating
element
Do not touch the heating element
during or immediately after use.

ficient in their use of water and elec-
tricity. You can make the most of your
appliance by following these tips:
Make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher for the
most economical washing.
For small loads:
Select the “Top Solo” function (see
“Additional features” chapter).
Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
If baskets are only half full, use the
ECONOMY program.
Use the correct amounts of deter-
gent and rinse aid.
Caring for the environment
12

Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time please
note the following points:
Setting the water softener.
The water softener must be set to corre-
spond to the water hardness in your
area. This can be obtained from your
local water company, or by using a test
kit that can be purchased from the
Miele Parts Department.
The salt reservoir must only be filled
with water and salt. Never fill it with
detergent.
Adding rinse aid.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with liquid or powder deter-
gent will damage the reservoir.
Use only powder detergents and liquid
rinse aids formulated for domestic dish-
washers.
It is important to choose the correct
program.
Different wash programs should be se-
lected for different loads and different
degrees of soiling. See the program
chart for further program descriptions.
When the dishwasher is run for the
first time, the selected program will
not start for approximately 7
minutes.
During these 7 minutes, the Water
Softener reactivation program will
run, and the “Softener” indicator
lamp will be on.
Add the correct amount of detergent.
Generally, one to two tablespoons of
detergent will be adequate for most
wash loads. Not enough or too much
detergent can lead to poor wash re-
sults.
Cleaning results vary between deter-
gents. If you are not satisfied with the
results from one brand, try another
quality brand before contacting the
Miele Service Department for advice.
Load the dishes correctly.
Load the dishes so that water can con-
tact all surfaces. Ensure that the spray
arms are not blocked by items which
are too tall for the basket or which ex-
tend through the bottom of the basket.
If necessary, manually rotate the spray
arms to test for clearance.
The combination filter in the base of
the wash cabinet and the spray arms
must be kept clean.
These should be regularly inspected
and cleaned if necessary.
See the corresponding chapters for de-
tailed information on the above points.

Water Softener
The water softener must be set to corre-
spond to the water hardness in your
area. This can be obtained from your
local water company, or by using a test
kit that can be purchased from the
Miele Parts Department.
To avoid the build up of calcium de-
posits on dishes, cutlery, and in the
dishwasher, if the water hardness is
above 7 gr/gal, the water should be
softened.
The dishwasher is factory set for a hard-
ness level of 1 - 4 gr/gal.
If your water hardness differs from
the factory setting, the correct set-
ting must be entered into the dish-
washer using the adjacent table.
To ensure a steady supply of soft-
ened water, the built in water sof-
tener must be:
1. Correctly set.
2. Reactivated with salt when depleted
Where the water hardness fluctuates
(e.g. 8-17 gr/gal), always set the ma-
chine to the higher value (17 in this
example).

Filling the salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir should be filled be-
fore the first use and when the “Salt” in-
dicator lamp lights up. Use water sof-
tener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm grain
size), as other salts may contain inso-
luble additives which can impair the
functioning of the softener.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 4 lbs
(2 kg) of salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with dishwashing detergent will
damage the water softener. Make
sure that only water softener reacti-
vation salt of the proper grain size is
used.
To fill the salt reservoir:
Remove the lower basket.
Unscrew and remove the salt reser-
voir cap.
Before adding salt for the first time:
Fill the reservoir with approximately
2 quarts (2 l) of water.
Place the funnel (provided) over the
salt reservoir.
Carefully fill with salt. As it is filled,
water will run out.
Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the reservoir opening.
Screw the cap on firmly.
If the dishwasher will not be used im-
mediately after reactivation, run the
RINSE & HOLD program. This will
remove any traces of salt from the
cabinet.

Salt indicator.
When the salt reservoir is empty, the
“Salt 9” indicator lamp will light, not-
ifying you that the reservoir should be
refilled with reactivation salt.
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically reacti-
vated the next time the dishwasher is
run.
The “Softener” indicator lamp illumi-
nates during this process.
Note:
If your water is very soft (below
7 gr/gal), the salt indicator lamp will
stay on. In this case the reservoir
should not be filled with salt. The indica-
tor lamp will remain lit and should be
disregarded or bypassed.
The “Salt 9” indicator lamp has also
been designed for future program up-
dates (PC). See the “After Sales Ser-
vice” section for further details.
Bypassing the Salt indicator lamp.
In order to bypass the salt indicator
lamp, you will need a screwdriver and
needle nose pliers.
Remove the salt reservoir cap.
Looking into the salt reservoir, you will
see the top of the float chamber on the
right hand side b.
Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot
the float chamber towards the center
of the reservoir.
Using the needle nose pliers, first
pull the cap coff of the float cham-
ber, then remove the float d.
Replace the float chamber cap,
push the chamber back into its up-
right position, and replace the salt
reservoir cap. The indicator lamp
should now remain off.

Adding rinse aid
The use of Rinse Aid is recommended
to prevent spotting on dishes and glass-
ware that normally occurs during the
drying phase of automatic dishwashing.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with detergent will always
damage the reservoir. Only pour liq-
uid rinse aid formulated for residen-
tial dishwashers into the reservoir.
Adding rinse aid.
Add Rinse Aid before the first use
and anytime the “Rinse Aid” indica-
tor lamp comes on.
Press the button in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
