Caring for the environment Energy saving washing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity. For best results follow these tips: ^ For lowest energy consumption you may 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. ^ Make full use of the baskets without overloading for the most economical washing. ^ Use the correct amount of detergent and rinse aid.

Before using for the first time Water softener Every dishwasher is tested before leaving the factory. Any water remaining in the machine is from the final factory test and does not indicate that the machine has been used. 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 4 °d (4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be softened.

User Maintenance Instructions To prevent accidents and appliance damage, read these instructions before installation or use.
Cleaning and Care Exterior Check and clean your dishwasher regularly. This will help avoid faults and problems. ,Abrasive cleaning agents, all-purpose cleaners, thinner or ammonium cleaners should not be used on the dishwasher. They will damage the surface. Wash cabinet Generally, the wash cabinet is self cleaning if the correct amount of detergent is used. The wash cabinet can be cleaned with a dishwasher cleaner such as "Dis Cleaner" available from your Miele dealer, Miele or online at www.miele.com.
Cleaning and Care Indicator reflector The reflector of the optical interface is located in the steam deflector beneath the counter top. ^ Clean as necessary with a damp cloth. Control panel ^ Clean the control panel as necessary with a damp cloth. ,The appliance front and controls are not scratch proof. Remove spills immediately.
Cleaning and Care 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). During normal use, the filter system is self-cleaning. ,The machine must not be used without all the filters in place! ^ Check and clean the filter system periodically for any trapped or foreign objects.
Cleaning and Care To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened. ^ Return the filter so it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. ^ Push the clips together a and open the flap b. ^ Lock the filter by turning the handle clockwise. ^ Rinse under running water. ^ Close the flap so that the clip engages. ,The triple filter system must be inserted and locked into place.

Do not cut the intake hose or submerge it in liquid.
Cleaning and Care 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 and pull the plug. ^ Remove the triple filter (see "Triple filter system"). ^ Use a cup or bowl to scoop water out of the wash cabinet.
