CES CONSlGNES

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 washing 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:
Select the "Top Solo" feature (see
"Additional features"),
[] If baskets are only half full, select the
"Economy" program,
[] Use the correct amounts of detergent
and rinse aid,

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/gai (!40 ppm), you do
not need to add dishwasher sail
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/gal (!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:

Filling the salt reservoir
If your water hardness level is greater
than 8 gr/gal, 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 saJt reservoir:
