							Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated into 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.
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains electrical
wiring.
Do not cut the intake hose or
submerge it in liquid.
Installing an in-line water filter
If your water contains a large number of
insoluble substances, a filter between
the water valve and the intake hose
connection is recommended. These
filters can be purchased from Miele.
Cleaning the filter
	Turn off the dishwasher and pull the
plug.
	
Turn off the water supply.
	
Unscrew the intake hose.	Carefully remove the rubber seal.
	Remove the filter using needle nose
pliers and rinse it under running
water.
	Reinsert 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 water supply and
test for leaks.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
GROUNDED.
In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for the electrical
current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
can result in electric shock. Do
not modify the plug provided with
the appliance; if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
If there is any question
concerning the proper electrical
connection or grounding of this
appliance to the power supply,
please consult a licensed
electrician or call Miele’s

Waterproof system
All Miele dishwashers have a safety valve
located on the incoming water line and a
sealed underside with a water sensor.
If a fault occurs, the water intake is
stopped and the drain pump is activated.
Connection to the water supply
Do not drink water from the
dishwasher!
– The dishwasher can heat its own water
to the temperature required by the
wash program. This allows for
connection of the machine to either a
hot or cold water source. For lowest
energy consumption connect the
dishwasher to a cold water source. For
fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot water
source. All programs use hot water in
the rinse cycles.
– To use the Energy Saver program, a
hot water connection of minimum
115°F / 45°C and maximum 140°F /
60°C (water intake temperature) is
necessary.
The higher the water intake
temperature, the better the cleaning
and drying results.
– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.
(1.5m) long.
– A 5 ft. (1.5m) drain extension is
available from Miele. –
The water inlet hose comes equipped
with a 3/4 female hose thread
connector. This can be directly
connected to a water supply with 3/4
MHT (male hose thread ends).
– Water pressure: Must be between 4.5 -
145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).
If the water pressure is lower, the
display shows Water intake
see Frequently asked questions.
With high water intake pressure, a
reducing valve must be used.
To prevent damage to the
dishwasher, it must only be
connected to a fully vented drainage
system.
Do not cut the intake hose. It contains
electrical wiring. If the hose is cut, the
dishwasher will not work. There will be
a water leak and you could be injured.
If the hose is too long, coil it neatly
and place it behind the machine.

							Drainage
–The machine comes equipped with a
built-in non-return valve on the
discharge side to prevent waste
water from flowing back into the
dishwasher.
–The dishwasher is equipped with a
5 ft (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an
internal diameter of 7/8 (22 mm).
–Drain hose extensions and adapters
can be ordered from Miele.
The maximum drain hose length is
13 ft. (4 m), max. drain height: 39
(1 m).
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the
supplied hose clip (see assembly
plan).
– The hose can be installed to the left
or right side.
– The existing drain pipe for the drain
hose is designed for various hose
diameters. The drain pipe must be
shortened if the drain pipe extends
too far into the drain hose. The drain
hose could get clogged.
–
The drain hose must not be
shortened.
Make sure the hose is installed
without kinking, pressure or being
pulled.Venting the drainage system
If the dishwasher drain hose is
connected to a floor drain or to a drain
pipe that is less than 8 (20 cm) above
the floor, the drain must be vented.
Otherwise the water inside the
dishwasher may siphon out during the
wash program.
	Open the dishwasher door and
remove the lower basket.
	Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove.
	
Cut off the vent cap located at the
right rear of the triple filter system, as
illustrated.
