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. CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS 11
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 12
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. Use the provided key to turn the child safety lock to the desired set- ting. Horizontal setting = The door is locked. Vertical setting = the door can be opened. Opening and closing the door 14
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 5 48-65 860-1170 86-117 6 66-70 1190-1260 119-126 *) factory setting Example: The water hardness is 340 ppm. The water hardness switch should be set to position 2. Water softener (Not available in US models.) 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.

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 19
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. Loading the dishwasher 20
