Problem solving guide 71Problem Possible cause and remedy Dishes, cutlery and glasses ar e not dry or are flecked. The amount of rinse aid may be insufficient, or the rinse ai d reservoir is empty. Replenish the reservoir, increase the dosage or change the brand of rinse aid (see "Before using for the first time - Rinse aid"). Crockery was taken out of the cabinet too soon. L eave it in for longer (see "Operation"). Combination tabs have been used which have im‐ pair ed drying performance. Chang e your detergent, or replenish the rinse aid (see "Before using for the first time - Rinse aid"). Glassware has a brown or blue tinge, and film cannot be wiped off. This may be caused by the detergent. Chan ge your detergent. Glassware is dull and discolo ured; film cannot be wiped off. The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surfaces ar e affected. T here is no remedy. Purchase glassware which is dishwasher-proof. Tea or lipstick stains have not been com‐ p letely removed. The wash temperature of the selected programme was t oo low. S elect a programme with a higher wash tempera‐ ture. The bleaching effect of the detergent used is too low. Chang e your detergent. Plastic items are discol‐ our ed. Natural dyes e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or tomato sauce may be the cause . The amount of detergent used or its bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with natural dyes. Use mor e detergent (see "Operation - Detergent"). Discolouration is irreversible.
Problem solving guide 72 Problem Possible cause and remedy White residue is visible on cutlery and crock‐ ery, clouding occurs on glassware; film can be wiped off. Not enough rinse aid was used. Incr ease the dosage (see "Before using for the first time - Rinse aid"). There is no dishwasher salt in the salt reservoir. Fill the salt reservoir (see "Before using for the first time - Dishwasher salt"). The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on cor‐ r ectly. Replace it, making sure that it screws back on correctly. An unsuitable combination detergent has been used. Chang e your detergent. Use a standard liquid, tablet or powder detergent, and fill the salt and rinse aid reservoirs in the dishwasher. The water softener is programmed to too low a water har dness level. P rogramme the water softener for harder water (see "Before using for the first time - Water soften‐ er"). There are rust stains on cutler y. The affected items are not corrosion resistant. Ther e is no remedy. Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher-proof. A programme was not run after dishwasher salt was added. Traces of salt have got into the wash cycle. Always run the Quick wash pr ogramme with the Short programme option selected and without any crockery in the dishwasher after adding dishwash‐ er salt. The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on cor‐ r ectly. Replace it, making sure that it screws back on correctly.
Maintenance 73Cleaning the water inlet filter A filter is incorporated in the screw con‐ nectio n of the valve on the water inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned when dirty, otherwise insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet. The plastic hou sing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing must not be dipped in wat er. Recommendation If the mains water contains a large amount of insoluble substances, we r ecommend fitting a large-area filter in the connection between the tap and the water inlet hose threaded union. This filter is available from Miele. Cleaning the filter: Disc onnect the dishwasher from the mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug. T urn off the tap. Unsc rew the inlet hose. C arefully remove the washer. W ithdraw the filter using pointed pli‐ ers and rinse clean under running water. Replace the filter and washer, making sure they are sitting correctly. Reco nnect the inlet hose to the tap, making sure it goes on correctly and is not cross-threaded. T urn on the tap. If water leaks out, the inlet hose may not be conne cted securely or it may have been screwed on at an angle. Unsc rew and reconnect the inlet hose correctly.
Maintenance 74Cleaning the drain pump and non -return valve If the water has not been pumped away at the end of a p rogramme, the drain pump or the non-return valve might be blocked. They are, however, easy to clean. Disc onnect the dishwasher from the mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug. T ake the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the filters"). Scoo p the water out of the cabinet using a suitable container or utensil. P ress the catch for the non-return valve inwards . Lift out the no n-return valve , and rinse well under running water. Remo ve all foreign objects from the non-return valve. The drain pump is situated under the non -return valve (see arrow). Remo ve all foreign objects from the drain pump (watch out for glass or bone splinters which are particularly difficult to detect and could cause in‐ jury). Turn the drain pump impeller by hand to check that there are no more obstructions. You will feel a little re‐ sistance when you turn the impeller. C arefully refit the non-return valve and secure it with the catch. E nsure that the catch engages correctly. Be car eful not to damage any delicate components when cleaning the drain pump and the non-return valve.

Electrical connection 78This dishwasher is supplied with a mains ca ble with moulded plug ready for connection to an AC single phase supply, (230 - 240 V 50 Hz for NZ and Australia) via a suitable switched sock‐ et. The electri cal socket must be easily accessible after the dishwash‐ er has been installed. Do not con‐ nect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guaran‐ tee the required safety of the appli‐ ance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not connect the appliance solely to an inve rter such as those used with an autonomous energy source e.g. solar power. When switched on, peak loads in the system can cause the safety switch-off mechanism to be triggered. This can damage the electronic unit. The machine must not be used with so- called energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the machine, causing it to overheat. Befor e connecting the appliance, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage, frequency, rated load and fuse rating) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. The data plate is located on the right- hand side of the door . All electrical work must be car‐ ried out by a suitably qualified and c ompetent person in strict accord‐ ance with current local and national safety regulations. For extra safety, it is advisable to in‐ stall a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA.
Water connection 79The Miele Waterproof system As long as your dishwasher has been instal led correctly, the Miele waterproof anti-leak system will protect you from water damage. Connection to the water sup‐ ply W ater in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water. – The dishwasher may be connected to a col d or hot water supply, max. 60°C. We would only recommend connec‐ tion to a hot water supply if it is eco‐ nomical, e.g. a solar powered supply. When connected to a hot water sup‐ ply, all programmes will be carried out with hot water. – The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long. – A tap with a 3/4" male thread must be pr ovided on site.– Connection to the mains water sup‐ ply should only be carried out by a quali fied and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. The tap should be easily accessible once the appliance has been installed. – IMPORTANT Austr alia and New Zealand This appliance must be installed ac‐ cording to AS/NZS 3500.1. Back flow prevention is already integrated in the appliance. – The water pressure (flow pressure at the tak e-off point) must be between 30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar). If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducer valve must be fit‐ ted. After connecting the dishwasher to the wat er supply, check that all plumbing connections are watertight. T o avoid any damage to the ap‐ pliance, the dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system. The inlet hose must not be sh ortened or damaged in any way as it contains electrical components (see illustration).
Water connection 80Drainage – The appliance drainage system is fit‐ t ed with a non-return valve which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose. – The dishwasher is supplied with ap‐ pr ox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm. – The drain hose can be extended us‐ ing a connection piece to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4 m, and the delivery head must not ex‐ ceed 1 m. – If the hose is to be directly fitted to the dr ainage outlet on site, use the hose clip supplied (see installation di‐ agram). – The hose can be directed to the left or the right of the appliance. – The on-site connector for the drain ho se can be adapted to different widths of hose. If the connector pro‐ trudes too far into the drain hose, it will need to be shortened. Otherwise the drain hose may become blocked. – The drain hose must not be short‐ ened. Mak e sure that there are no kinks in the hose, and that it is not squashed or stretched. After commissioning the appliance, ensu re that the water outlet does not leak. Venting the drainage system If the on-site drain connection is situ‐ at ed lower than the guide path for the bottom basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the appliance to empty itself of water. T o vent it: Open the dishwasher door fully. P ull the lower spray arm firmly up‐ wards to remove it. Cut off the t op of the vent valve in the wash cabinet.
