Energy saving washing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity.
Before using for the first time Before using for the first time Before using for the first time, please note the following. Setting the water softener The water softener must be set to correspond to the water hardness in your area. The water hardness can be determined by calling your local water company, or by using a test kit that can be purchased from the Miele Technical service Department. The salt reservoir must only be filled with water and salt. Never fill it with detergent.
Before using for the first time Before using for the first time To open the door 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. Remove the key before using the dishwasher. ^ Press the release catch inside the door grip. If the door is opened during operation, all functions will be interrupted. To close the door ^ Push the baskets in. ^ Lift the door and push until it clicks into position.
Before using for the first time Water softener To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard water results in the build up of calcium deposits on dishes and in the dishwasher. If your tap water hardness is above 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), the water should be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener. – The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Before using for the first time Programming and setting the water hardness level Your water hardness level must be programmed into the machine using the buttons on the control panel. The water hardness level selector in the wash cabinet is then also set to the water hardness level in your area. Programming and changing the water hardness level ^ Turn off the dishwasher with the “On/Off” button. ^ Turn the program selector to “Stop”.
Before using for the first time ^ Press the “Start” button. The “Start” indicator lights. ^ Turn the program selector to “Stop”. ^ Turn off the dishwasher with the “On/Off” button. The water hardness level is now stored in the program memory. Setting the water hardness level selector in the wash cabinet The water hardness level selector in the wash cabinet must be set according to the following table. Selecting the correct setting will help minimize the effects of dishwashing on glass surfaces.
Before using for the first time Checking the programmed water hardness ^ Turn off the dishwasher with the “On/Off” button. ^ Turn the program selector to “Stop”. ^ Hold the “Start” button in and at the same time turn the dishwasher on with the “On/Off” button. With in 2 seconds release the “Start” button. The “Salt” indicator flashes. Note: If any other indicators light or flash the process must be repeated. Except: If the “Rinse aid” indicator lights rinse aid was never added or needs to be refilled.
Before using for the first time Before using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir To fill 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 reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm grain size); other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener. ^ Remove the lower basket. ^ Unscrew and remove the salt reservoir cap.
Before using for the first time Salt indicator Bypassing the Salt indicator When the salt reservoir is empty, the “Salt-PC” indicator will light, indicating that it should be refilled with reactivation salt. To bypass the salt indicator, 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.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Adding rinse aid Rinse aid is recommended to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware that normally occurs during the drying cycle. Filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir. ^ Add rinse aid before the first use and when ever the “Rinse aid” indicator lights. ^ Press the button in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid indicator The rinse aid indicator on the control panel will light when the rinse aid reservoir needs refilling. ^ Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir until it is visible on the surface of the screen. Do not refill until the “Rinse aid” indicator lights. Only use rinse aid labeled for residential dishwashers. Inadvertently adding detergent to the rinse aid dispenser will damage the dispenser. ^ Press on the flap until you hear it click shut.
Before using for the first time Setting 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, depending on your needs. ^ Use a higher setting if spots appear on dry glassware. ^ Use a lower setting if streaking appears on dishes or glasses.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Do not wash items soiled with ash, wax, grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and will be distributed through out the inside of the dishwasher. Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration or damage to the dishwasher. ^ Scrape food from dishes before placing in the dishwasher but, do not rinse dishes. ^ Load dishes so that water can reach all surfaces. ^ Do not place dishes and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be hidden.
Loading the dishwasher Loading examples Adjustable cup rack Upper basket For small, lightweight, delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, and dessert bowls. Flat saucepans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket. Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket. To make room for tall items raise the rack or lower it to double stack small pieces.
Loading the dishwasher (select models) Depending on the setting of the upper basket, the following dish dimensions can be accommodated: The upper basket height is adjustable. If tall items are being washed, more room can be created by raising or lowering the upper basket. Dishwashers with a cutlery tray Adjusting the upper basket Do not set the angle to the extreme; one side at the highest setting and one side at the lowest. This will block the middle spray arm. ^ Slide the upper basket out.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket Maximum height For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, or bowls. Small items such as saucers can also be placed in the lower basket. Do not place glassware in the lower basket unless a special glassware insert is installed. The guide at the front of the upper basket (arrow) shows the maximum height of items that can be placed in the lower basket. Items taller than this will block the middle spray arm.
Loading the dishwasher Bottle holder Cutlery (select models) (select models) The bottle holder can be placed in any area marked in white in the illustration below. Do not place it in the areas marked with an X, these areas will not receive adequate water coverage. ^ For the best cleaning results, knives and forks should be placed in the basket with handles down. Knives and other pointed objects can be loaded with their handles up to prevent injuries.
Loading the dishwasher Spoon racks For the best cleaning of heavily soiled spoons, use the supplied spoon racks to raise them above the other cutlery for better water coverage. ^ Insert spoons into every other slot with the handles pointed down. ^ A spoon rack can be clipped onto the front or back of the cutlery basket. To remove the racks: ^ Press in the locking tabs (use a spoon handle if necessary) and pull the racks up and out of the basket.
Loading the dishwasher Dishwashers with a cutlery tray (SC) To make unloading easier, cutlery can be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, etc. Spoon heads should be placed so that water can run off freely. Place the blades of knives and the tines of forks between the holders. Spoons should be placed in the opposite direction with handles between the holders.
Loading the dishwasher Items not suitable for dishwashers: Miele recommends: – Wooden cutting boards. – Wash delicate glassware using the “Economy” program or the “China & Crystal” program to reduce the risk of clouding. – Glued items such as old knives with handles that are glued together around the shank of the blade. – There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware but, when in doubt wash by hand. – Hand made craft items, antique or decorative glassware.
Operating the dishwasher Operating the dishwasher Adding detergent Only use powder detergents or tablets formulated for residential dishwashers. Do not use gels or liquid detergents. ^ Close the cover. The cover will always be open at the end of a wash program (except “Rinse & Hold” ). Generally, filling the dispenser with 1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of detergent is enough for most normally soiled loads.
Operating the dishwasher Operating the dishwasher Program selection The wash program chosen should depend on the type of dishes and the degree of soiling. In most cases the “Light Wash”, the “Normal” or the “Sani Wash” program will give excellent results. Available programs and their applications are listed in the Program Chart.
