When using your dishwasher, follow

basic precautions, including the fol- lowing: Read all instructions before installa- tion or use of the dishwasher to pre- vent injury 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. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 6

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.

To open the door

^ Press the release catch inside the door grip. If the door is opened during operation, the dishwasher will stop running. Once the door is closed the program will re- start. To close the door ^ Push the baskets in. ^ Lift the door and push until it clicks into position. Child Safety Lock The yellow key for the Child Safety Lock is shipped on one of the spikes at the front of the upper basket. Re- move the key before using the dish- washer. The Child Safety Lock is designed to prevent children from opening the dish- washer. ^ Use the provided key to lock or un- lock the dishwasher. Horizontal: the door is locked Vertical: the door can be opened Before using for the first time 12

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: gr/gal (ppm) Settings gr/gal* ppm Value shown in the time display 1 2 3 4** 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36-70 20 40 50 70 90 110 130 140 160 180 200 220 230 250 270 290 310 320 340 360 380 400 410 430 450 470 490 500 520 540 560 580 590 610 630 650-1260 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 * US gallons ** 4 gr/gal (70 ppm) is factory preset Before using for the first time 13

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 using for the first time 14

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 using for the first time 15

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 using for the first time 16

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. ^ 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 using 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. Loading the dishwasher 18

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 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, mus- tard, legumes, fish, fish brine and marinades. – Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals. Loading the dishwasher 19

Cutlery tray (SC units)

The removable cutlery tray makes un- loading flatware easy. Simply carry the cutlery tray to where the flatware is stored and put the entire basket away in one trip. 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. Loading the dishwasher 20

Adjusting the upper basket

On select models, the upper basket can be raised or lowered to accommo- date tall items. ^ Slide out the upper basket. ^ Pull up the levers at the sides of the upper basket and adjust the basket height. ^ Release the levers and the basket will lock in place. The basket can also be angled to fit tall items in both, the lower and upper bas- kets. The angles should not be set to opposite extremes. This will block the middle spray arm. Take care when slid- ing the basket in and out in this posi- tion. Load the upper basket with small, light- weight, or delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls and flat pans. Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and knives can be set across the front of the upper basket. Loading the dishwasher 21

Adjustable cup racks

Raise the rack to make room for tall glasses. Lower it to double stack smaller pieces. Coffee bar To allow water to run off the bottom of coffee mugs, place slanted on top of the coffee bar. The bar can also be used to separate two rows of glasses. To stack wide items, flip the bar to the right. Loading the dishwasher 22

For larger and heavier items such as

plates, serving platters, sauce pans, bowls. Stemmed glassware can also be placed in the lower basket when se- cured with the StemGuard. Height limit The guide at the front of the upper bas- ket determines the maximum height for items placed in the lower basket so that the middle spray arm is not blocked. Loading the dishwasher 23

Various removable inserts are available for the lower basket to accomodate spe-

cial items to be washed. Removing an insert ^ To remove an insert, gently pull up on the handle. Inserting an insert ^ Slid the hitches of the insert under the vertical struts of the lower basket. Lower basket inserts 24

,Dishwasher detergents contain

irritant and corrosive ingredients. Keep children away from detergent. Do not fill the detergent dispenser until you are ready to start the dish- washer. Only use powder detergents or tab- lets formulated for residential dish- washers. The use of gel or liquid de- tergent is not recommended. Never fill the detergent dispenser to capacity. Do not use more than the recom- mended amount of detergent. Con- tinued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage. ^ To open, press the latch on the deter- gent dispenser. The horizontal marks in Compartment II indicate levels of approximately 1 1/4, 1 3/4 and 2 tablespoons (20, 25 and 30 ml) respectively. ^ With the dishwasher door fully open fill compartment II with 2 tablespoon (30 ml) of powder detergent, or one detergent tablet. ^ Close the cover. The cover will al- ways open at the end of a wash pro- gram except in "Rinse & Hold". 2 tablespoon (30 ml) of detergent is enough for most normally soiled loads. For heavily soiled loads, or if food has dried on the dishes, a program contain- ing a prewash cycle should be se- lected. Add an extra tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent to compartment I. Less detergent is needed in homes with very soft water and when washing lightly soiled dishes. Operation 29

User Maintenance Instructions

To prevent accidents and machine damage, read these instructions before installation or use.

Triple filter system

The triple filter system in the base of the wash cabinet prevents food from being redeposited on dishes. It also protects the circulation pump from damage caused by foreign objects (e.g. broken glass, bones). The filter system must be cleaned every 4 - 6 months or whenever a foreign ob- jects is trapped. "Filter" indicator light The "Filter" indicator lights after every 40 program cycles to remind you to check the filter. ^ Clean the filter if needed. ^ Press the "Start/Stop" button at least 1 second to reset the filter timer. The "Filter" indicator goes out. The "Filter" indicator will also go out, when the dishwasher is turned off. Cleaning the filter in the wash cabinet ^ Turn off the dishwasher before clean- ing. ^ Turn the handle counterclockwise to release the triple filter system. ^ Lift the filter out of the machine. Re- move any solid particles. Rinse under running water. Scrub with a nylon brush if necessary. 48

To clean the underside of the filter, the

flap must be opened: ^ Pull back the yellow clip. ^ Rinse all parts under running water. Scrub with a nylon brush if neces- sary. ^ Close the flap so that the clip en- gages. ^ Return the filter so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. ^ Lock the filter by turning the handle clockwise. ,The dishwasher must not be used without the filter in place. Make sure the filter is locked in place. Otherwise untrapped debris will re- deposit on dishes. 49

Cleaning the spray arms

Sometimes particles of food get stuck in the spray arm jets. The spray arms should be inspected and cleaned every 4 - 6 months. ^ Turn off the dishwasher before clean- ing. Remove the spray arms as follows: ^ Remove the cutlery tray (if present). ^ Press the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet and un- screw the spray arm. ^ Lift up the middle spray arm, a, to engage the ratchet and unscrew the spray arm, b. ^ Remove the lower basket. ^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly up- wards to remove. ^ Use a pointed object such as a tooth- pick to push food particles into the spray arm jets. ^ Rinse thoroughly under running water. ^ Return the spray arms and check that they rotate freely. 50

Cleaning the wash cabinet

Generally, the wash cabinet is self cleaning if the correct amount of dish- washer detergent is used. The wash cabinet can be cleaned with a dishwasher cleaner such as Dis Cleaner available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department. Cleaning the door and door seal ^ Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth to remove any food particles. ^ Food residue and spilt liquids should be wiped from the sides of the dish- washer door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms. Cleaning the exterior ,Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners on the dishwasher. They will damage the surface. Plastic All plastic surfaces and the control panel can be cleaned with warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge. Wipe dry using a soft cloth. ,Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage. Stainless steel Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for stainless steel can also be used. Apply sparingly with even pressure. Stainless steel colored controls These controls may become discolored or damaged if not cleaned regularly. Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on the knobs or buttons. Wood Panels made from wood should be cleaned using a soft damp cloth and an appropriate wood cleaner. 51

Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the intake hose attached to the dishwasher’s shut off valve. If your water is hard, or the pipes contain sediment, this filter may clog and prevent enough water from entering the wash cabinet. Installing an in-line water filter ^ If your water contains a large number of insoluble substances, a filter be- tween the water valve and the intake hose connection is recommended. These filters can be purchased from Miele’s Technical Service Depart- ment. ,The plastic valve housing on the intake hose contains electrical com- ponents and should not be im- mersed, or run through water. Cleaning the filter: ^ Disconnect the dishwasher from electricity (unplug it or "trip" the cir- cuit breaker). ^ Turn off the water valve. ^ Unscrew the intake hose. ^ Carefully remove the rubber seal. ^ Remove the filter using a needle nose plier and rinse under running water. ^ Return the filter and seal. Make sure they are seated correctly. ^ Screw the intake hose back on the water valve, checking that it is not cross-threaded. ^ Slowly turn on the valve and test for leaks. 52

Cleaning the drain pump and

non-return valve If the dishwasher is not completely drained at the end of a program, the drain pump or non-return valve may be blocked. ^ Turn off the dishwasher. ^ Remove the triple filter (see "Cleaning the filter in the wash cabinet"). ^ Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out of the wash cabinet. ^ Tilt the locking clamp to the side. ^ Pull out the non-return valve and rinse well under running water. The drain pump is beneath the non-re- turn valve (see arrow). ^ Before returning the non-return valve, check that the drain pump is not blocked. Spin the propeller several times in both directions to check for obstructions. ^ Carefully refit the non-return valve and secure it with the locking clamp. ^ Refit and lock the filter in place. 53
