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 washin 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,
[] Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed,
[] For small loads:

Before using for the first time
To open the door To dose the door
[] Push the baskets in.
[] Lift the door and push until it clicks
into position.
[] Pull the handle.
(f the door is opened during operation,
the dishwasher will stop running. Once
the door is closed the program will
restart.
13

Before using for the first time
Water softener
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.
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:

Before using for the first time
Filling the satt reservoir
If your water hardness level is greater
than 8 gr/ga!, the salt reservoir should
be filled before the first use and when
the "Salt" indicator lights.
Only use water softener salt specially
formulated for dishwashers. Other salts
may contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
The proper salt can be purchased from
your Miele dealer or Miele's Technical
Service Department.
To fill the satt reservoir:
[] Remove the lower basket.
[] Unscrew and remove the salt
reservoir cap located on the floor of
the wash cabinet.

reservoir holds approximately 4.5 Ibs
(2 kg) of sail 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
immediately, run the "Rinse & Hold"
program. This will remove any traces
of salt from inside the wash cabinet.
17

Before using for the first time
Salt indicator
When the salt reservoir is empty, the
"Salt-PC" indicator will light, indicating
that it should be refilled with

salt reservoir should not be filled with
salt. The indicator will remain lit and
should be disregarded or bypassed.
[] Remove the salt reservoir cap.
Looking into the salt reservoir, you will
see the top of the float chamber on the
right hand side, '_.
After the reservoir 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.
[] Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot
the float chamber towards the center
of the reservoir,
[] Using needle nose pliers, pull the
cap, '_', off of the float chamber, and
remove the float, '_@.
Replace the float chamber cap, push
the chamber back into its upright
position, and replace the salt reservoir
cap. The "Salt" indicator should no
longer be IlL

the arrow until the flap springs open,
Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir
until it is visible on the surface of the
screen,
[] Press on the flap until you hear it
click shut, Failure to close it all the

reservoir during the wash program,
[] Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. The
flap will remain closed during normal
operation,

Before using for the first time
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 1 to 6.
