    							     INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTES SUR LA SÉCURITÉ
    Ne pas modifier les 
    commandes.
    Ne pas boire l’eau du meuble de
    lavage.
    Au moment de remplir le lave-vais-
    selle :
    – Mettre les articles pointus de manière
    à ce qu’ils n’endommagent pas le seau
    étanche de la porte.
    – Mettre le tranchant des couteaux vers
    le bas afin de réduire les risques de
    blessure.
    Ne pas laver les articles en plas-
    tique à moins qu’ils n’indiquent “Va
    au lave-vaisselle” ou l’équivalent. Véri-
    fier les recommandations du fabricant
    pour les articles non étiquetés.
    Ne pas abuser et ne pas vous as-
    seoir ni vous tenir sur la porte ou
    sur les paniers du lave-vaisselle.
    Enlever la porte et débrancher le
    lave-vaisselle avant de le faire rép-
    arer ou de le jeter afin d’empêcher les
    enfants de se blesser ou de s’enfermer
    dans l’appareil par accident.
    Dans certaines conditions, un sys-
    tème d’eau chaude qui n’a pas été
    utilisé pendant plus de 2 semaines
    peut dégager de l’azote.
    L’AZOTE EST EXPLOSIF. Si le système
    d’eau chaude n’a pas été utilisé pend-
    ant une telle période de temps, ouvrir
    tous les robinets d’eau chaude et
    laisser l’eau couler pendant plusieurs
    minutes avant d’utiliser le lave-vais-
    selle. Ceci dissipera tout l’azote accu-
    mulé. Ne pas fumer ni utiliser une
    flamme nue durant ce temps.
    Lave-vaiselle avec l’élément 
    chauffant
    Ne touchez pas l’élément chauf-
    fant pendant le fonctionnement de
    l’appareil ou immédiatement après.

    							Caring for the environment
    Disposal of the packing material.
    The cardboard box and packing ma-
    terial protects the appliance during
    shipping. It has been deliberately de-
    signed to be biodegradable and recy-
    clable. Please dispose of these ma-
    terials as you would any other
    recyclable products.
    Disposal of your old machine.
    Old machines contain materials which
    can be recycled. Please contact your
    local recycling center about the possi-
    bility of recycling these materials. Make
    certain the machine has been made
    child resistant as outlined in the “Import-
    ant safety instuctions” before disposing
    of the appliance.Energy saving washing.
    These dishwashers are exceptionally ef-
    ficient in their use of water and elec-
    tricity. You can make the most of your
    appliance by following these tips:
    Make full use of the baskets without
    overloading the dishwasher for the
    most economical washing.
    Choose a program that best suits the
    degree of soiling and the type of
    dishes being washed.
    If the baskets are only half full, use
    the ECONOMY program.
    Use the correct amounts of deter-
    gent and rinse aid.
    Caring for the environment

    							Before using for the first time
    Before using for the first time,
    please note the following points.
    Setting the water softener
    (if applicable).
    The water softener must be set to corre-
    spond to the water hardness in your
    area. This can be obtained from your
    local water company, or by using a test
    kit that can be purchased from the
    Miele Parts Department.
    The salt reservoir must only be filled
    with water and salt. Never fill it with
    detergent.
    Adding rinse aid.
    Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
    reservoir with liquid or powder deter-
    gent will damage the reservoir.
    Use only powder detergents and liquid
    rinse aids formulated for domestic dish-
    washers.
    It is important to choose the correct
    program.
    Different wash programs should be se-
    lected for different loads and different
    degrees of soiling. See the program
    chart for further program descriptions.Add the correct amount of detergent.
    Generally, one to two tablespoons of
    detergent will be adequate for most
    wash loads. Not enough or too much
    detergent can lead to poor wash re-
    sults.
    Cleaning results vary between deter-
    gents. If you are not satisfied with the
    results from one brand, try another
    quality brand before contacting the
    Miele Service Department for advice.
    Load the dishes correctly.
    Load the dishes so that water can con-
    tact all surfaces. Ensure that the spray
    arms are not blocked by items which
    are too tall for the basket or which ex-
    tend through the bottom of the basket.
    If necessary, manually rotate the spray
    arms to test for clearance.
    The combination filter in the base of
    the wash cabinet and the spray arms
    must be kept clean.
    These should be regularly inspected
    and cleaned, if necessary.
    See the corresponding chapters for de-
    tailed information on the above points.
    Before using for the first time
    13 
    						
    							Opening and closing the door
    To open the door.
    Press the release catch inside the
    door grip.
    If the door is opened during operation,
    all functions will automatically be inter-
    rupted.
    To close the door.
    Push the baskets in.
    Lift the door and push until it clicks
    into position.
    Child safety lock.
    The child safety lock is designed to
    deter children from opening the dish-
    washer door.

    							Water softener (Not available in US models.)
    The water softener must be set to corre-
    spond to the water hardness in your
    area. This can be obtained from your
    local water company or by using a test
    kit that can be purchased from the
    Miele Parts Department.
    Note:
    If the water hardness in your area is
    under 7 gr/gal, it is not necessary to re-
    activate the softener with salt.
    To avoid the build up of calcium de-
    posits on dishes, cutlery, and in the
    dishwasher, the water should be soft-
    ened if it is harder than 7 gr/gal.
    The dishwasher is factory set for a hard-
    ness level of 4 - 14 gr/gal. If your water
    is harder or softer, this setting will need
    to be adjusted.
    To ensure a steady supply of soft-
    ened water, the built in water sof-
    tener must be:
    1. Correctly set.
    2. Reactivated with salt when depleted.
    Setting the water hardness
    level.
    There are six settings on the selector, lo-
    cated on the right side of the wash
    cabinet:
    Using a screwdriver, adjust the water
    hardness level by turning the selec-
    tor switch to the appropriate setting.
    Setting gr/gal ppm °f
    1*  4-14   70- 250   7- 25
    2 15-21  270- 380  27- 38
    3 22-35  400- 630  40- 63
    4 36-47  650- 850  65- 85

    *) factory setting
    Example:
    The water hardness is 340 ppm. The
    water hardness switch should be set to
    position 2.

    15 
    						
    							Filling the salt reservoir.
    The salt reservoir should be filled be-
    fore the first use and whenever the
    “Salt” indicator lamp is lit. Use water
    softener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm
    grain size), as other salts may contain
    insoluble additives which can impair
    the functioning of the softener.
    The salt reservoir holds approx. 4 lbs 
    (2 kg) of salt.
    Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
    with dishwashing detergent will
    damage the water softener.  Make
    sure that only water softener reacti-
    vation salt of the proper grain size is
    used.
    Remove the lower basket.
    Unscrew and remove the salt reser-
    voir cap.
    Before filling the salt reservoir for
    the first time:
    Fill the salt reservoir with approxi-
    mately 2 quarts of water.
    Place the funnel (provided) over the
    salt reservoir.
    Carefully fill with 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 after reactivation, run the
    RINSE & HOLD program. This will
    remove any traces of salt from the
    cabinet.
    Water softener (Not available in US models.)
    16 
    						
    							Salt indicator.
    When the salt reservoir is empty, the
    “Salt” indicator lamp will light, notifying
    you that the reservoir should be refilled
    with reactivation salt.
    Note:
    If your water is very soft (below 
    7 gr/gal), the salt indicator lamp will
    stay on. In this case the reservoir
    should not be filled with salt. The indica-
    tor lamp will remain lit and can be disre-
    garded or bypassed.
    Bypassing the Salt indicator
    lamp.
    In order to bypass the salt indicator
    lamp, you will need a screwdriver and
    needle nose pliers.
    Remove the salt reservoir cap.
    Looking into the salt reservoir, you will
    see the top of the float chamber on the
    right hand side 
    b.
    Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot
    the float chamber towards the center
    of the reservoir.
    Using the needle nose pliers, first
    pull the cap 
    c off of the float cham-
    ber, then remove the float 
    d.
    Replace the float chamber cap,
    push the chamber back into its up-
    right position, and replace the salt
    reservoir cap. The indicator lamp
    should now remain off.

    							Adding rinse aid
    The use of Rinse Aid is recommended
    to prevent spotting on dishes and glass-
    ware that normally occurs during the
    drying phase of automatic dishwashing.
    Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
    reservoir with detergent will always
    damage the reservoir. Only pour liq-
    uid rinse aid formulated 
    for residen-
    tial dishwashers into the reservoir.
    Adding rinse aid.
    Add Rinse Aid before the first use
    and anytime the “Rinse Aid” indica-
    tor lamp comes on.
    Press the button in the direction of
    the arrow until the flap springs open.
    Adding rinse aid
    18 
    						
    							Pour liquid rinse aid into the storage
    container until it is visible on the sur-
    face of the screen. Do not refill until
    the “Rinse aid” indicator lamp comes
    on.
    Only use rinse aid specifically
    labeled for residential dishwashers.
    Inadvertently adding detergent will
    damage the rinse aid dispenser.
    Press on the flap until you hear it
    click shut. Failure to close it all the
    way will allow water to enter the
    reservoir during the wash program.
    Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. 
    The flap will remain closed during nor-
    mal operation.
    Setting the dosage.
    The dosage selector comes factory set
    to 3. It can be adjusted from 1 to 6, de-
    pending on your requirements. This set-
    ting dispenses approximately 3 ml
    rinse aid per program.
    Use a higher setting if spots appear
    on dry glassware.
    If streaking appears on dishes or
    glasses, use a lower setting.
    Adding rinse aid

    							Loading the dishwasherLoad the dishes so that water can
    reach all surfaces.
    Do not place dishes and cutlery in-
    side other pieces where they may be
    concealed.
    Hollow items such as cups and
    glasses should be inverted and
    placed in the upper basket.
    Concave based items should be
    placed at an angle so that water can
    run off them freely, or placed on top
    of the coffee bar (See page 25).
    Tall, narrow, hollow pieces should be
    placed in the center of the basket,
    rather than in the corners, to ensure
    adequate water coverage.
    Small cups and glasses should be
    placed on the cup racks. Taller mugs
    and glasses can be placed under-
    neath the rack.
    The spray arms must not be blocked
    by items which are too tall or hang
    through the baskets. If in doubt, test
    for free movement by manually rotat-
    ing the spray arms.
    Some food items may contain natural
    dyes that can discolor plastic items
    in the dishwasher ( e.g. carrots, to-
    matoes, ketchup, etc.). The stability
    of plastic items is not affected by this
    discoloration.Some loading examples are shown on
    the following pages.
    In areas where the water has high
    mineral content, it may be necess-
    ary to polish silverware after wash-
    ing to achieve a high shine.
