WARNING –
When sing yo r dishwasher, follow
basic preca tions, incl ding the fol-
lowing:
Read all instr ctions before installa-
tion or se of the dishwasher to pre-
vent inj ry and machine damage.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for damage or injury
caused by improper use of this ap-
pliance.
Use the dishwasher only for its in-
tended purpose. This appliance is
intended for residential use only.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to
any future user.
Electrical safety
Before installation make sure that
the voltage and frequency listed on
the data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond to prevent injury and
machine damage. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
Before installation or service, dis-
connect the power supply to the
work area by unplugging the unit, “trip-
ping” the circuit breaker or removing
the fuse.
Do not use an extension cord to
connect this appliance to electric-
ity. Extension cords do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(e.g. danger of overheating).
Be certain your appliance is prop-
erly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the
electrical safety of this appliance, conti-
nuity must exist between the appliance
and an effective grounding system. It is
imperative that this basic safety require-
ment be met. If there is any doubt, have
the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsi-
ble for damages caused by the lack, or
inadequacy of, an effective grounding
system.
Installation
Installation and repair work should
be by a Miele authorized service
technician. Work by unqualified per-
sons could be dangerous and could
void the warranty.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans or air-
craft. However, under certain conditions
it may be possible for an installation in
these applications. Please contact the
nearest Miele dealer or the Miele Tech-
nical Service Department with specific
requirements.
Inspect the dishwasher for ship-
ping damage. Do not install or op-
erate a damaged unit. Contact the
place of purchase.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely
and kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
This dishwasher should only be in-
stalled under a continuous
countertop secured to adjacent
cabinetry.
Do not install this dishwasher be-
neath a cooking surface or oven.
Do not, under any circumstances
cut the intake hose or submerge in
liquid. This hose contains electrical
components that could cause injury or
property damage if cut or submerged.
Use
Only use the dishwasher if all pan-
els are properly in place.
Do not tamper with the controls.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in, on, or
near the dishwasher.
Do not abuse, sit, or stand on the
door or baskets of the dishwasher.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen
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 water flow from each for several min-
utes before using the dishwasher. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
Do not wash plastic items unless
they are labeled "dishwasher safe"
or the equivalent. For items not labeled,
check the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
When loading tableware, place
sharp items away from the door
seal to prevent damage to the seal.
Load knives pointing downwards to
prevent injuries.
Only use detergents and rinse aids
recommended for residential dish-
washers. Keep all detergents and rinse
aids out of the reach of children.
Do not drink water from the dish-
washer! Harmful residues could be
present.
For dishwashers with visible heating
element
Do not touch the heating element
during or immediately after use.
Disposal of an appliance
If the appliance is removed from its
installation and will not be used,
the door to the wash cabinet should be
removed to prevent children from being
locked in the machine. When discard-
ing an old dishwasher, unplug it from
the power outlet, remove the door to the
wash cabinet and cut off the power
cord.

Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco-
nomical in the use of water and electric-
ity. 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.

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 (140 ppm), the water should be
softened. This takes place automati-
cally in the unit’s integrated water soft-
ener.
–Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
– The water softener must be filled with
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
If your water hardness is lower than
8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you do not need to
add dishwasher salt.
If there is a fault, it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
local water supply.
^Enter the water hardness below:

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 (1 - 4 mm)
grain size; other salts may contain in-
soluble additives which can impair the
water softener.
,Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with dishwashing deter-
gent will damage the water soft-
ener.
To fill the salt reservoir:
^Remove the lower basket.
^Unscrew and remove the salt reser-
voir cap.
^Place the provided funnel over the
salt reservoir.
Only before adding salt for the first
time, fill the reservoir with approxi-
mately 2 quarts (2 l) of water.
^Carefully fill with salt, grain size of
1 - 4 mm. The salt reservoir holds ap-
proximately 4.5 lbs (2 kg) of 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, run the "Rinse & Hold" pro-
gram. This will remove any traces of
salt from inside the wash cabinet.
Before sing for the first time
14

Salt indicator
When the salt reservoir is empty, the
"Salt-PC" indicator will light, indicating
that it should be refilled with reactiva-
tion salt.
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically reacti-
vated the next time the dishwasher is
started. The "Salt" indicator will light
during this process.
Bypassing the salt indicator
If your water is soft (below 8 gr/gal) the
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, a.
^Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot
the float chamber towards the center
of the reservoir.
^Using needle nose pliers, first pull the
cap, b, off of the float chamber, then
remove the float, c.
^Replace the float chamber cap, push
the chamber back into its upright po-
sition, and replace the salt reservoir
cap. The indicator should not light.
Before sing for the first time
15

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is recommended to prevent
spotting on dishes and glassware.
,Filling the rinse aid reservoir with
detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
residential dishwashers into the
reservoir.
Adding rinse aid
^Add rinse aid before the first use and
whenever the "Rise aid" indicator
lights.
^Press the button in the direction of
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
way will allow water to enter the res-
ervoir during the wash program.
^Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. The
flap will remain closed during normal
operation.
Before sing for the first time
16

Adj sting 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.
^Use a higher setting if spots appear
on dry glassware.
^Use a lower setting if streaking ap-
pears on dishes or glasses.
Rinse aid indicator
The rinse aid indicator on the control
panel will light when the rinse aid reser-
voir needs refilling.
When the indicator first comes on, there
will be enough rinse aid left for 2 - 3
washes.
Before sing for the first time
17

,Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in
the dishwasher.
Ash and sand do not dissolve and
will be distributed through out the in-
side of the dishwasher.
Wax, grease and paint will cause
permanent discoloration or damage
to the dishwasher.
^Scrape food from dishes before plac-
ing in the dishwasher.
Do not rinse dishes.
^Load dishes so that water can reach
all surfaces. Do not place dishes and
cutlery inside other pieces.
^Hollow items such as cups and
glasses should be placed upside
down in the upper basket.
^Concave based items, such as mugs
or bowls, should be placed at an an-
gle on top of the coffee bar, so that
water does not pool.
^To ensure good water coverage tall,
narrow, hollow pieces, such as a
vase, should be placed in the center
of the basket, rather than in the cor-
ners.
^Small cups and glasses should be
placed on the cup racks. Taller mugs
and glasses can be placed beneath
the rack.
^Place very small items in the cutlery
tray or basket so they do not fall to
the bottom of the wash cabinet.
^The spray arms must not be blocked
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets. Check clear-
ance by manually rotating the spray
arms.
^Food residue and spilt 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.

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.
–Hand made craft items, antique,
metal trimmed or decorative glass-
ware.
–Lead crystal.
–Copper, brass, tin or pewter.
– Plastic items that are not heat resis-
tant.
– Dishes with color painted over the
glaze. These dishes may fade over
time.
– Cast iron pots and pans.
Glassware:
–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 "Pro-
gram guide".
–If crystal or delicate glasses will be
washed frequently, connect the dish-
washer to cold, rather than hot water.
–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 al min m:
– 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, mus-
tard, legumes, fish, fish brine and
marinades.
–Silverware may tarnish or pit if
washed next to stainless steel.
Leave space between these metals.

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 hold-
ers. 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 in-
dentation of the cutlery tray.
Spoon heads should be placed in con-
tact with at least one of the serrated re-
tainers 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.
