							Water softener
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
8 gr/gal (values are in US gallons)
(140 ppm), the water should be
softened. This takes place
automatically in the unit’s integrated
water softener.
–Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed to correspond to the
water hardness in your area.
– The water softener must be filled with
dishwasher salt for reactivation.If your water hardness is consistently
lower than 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you donot need to add dishwasher salt.
However, the dishwasher must still be
programmed to correspond to the local
water hardness.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 9 - 17 gr/gal (160 - 310
ppm), always program the machine to
the higher value, 17 gr/gal (310 ppm) in
this example.
If there is a fault, it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
local water supply.
^Please note the water hardness:

							Filling 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 salt specially
formulated for dishwashers. Other salts
may contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
The proper salt can be purchased from
your Miele dealer or Miele’s Technical
Service Department.
,Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with dishwashing
detergent will damage the water
softener.To fill the salt reservoir:
^Remove the lower basket.
^Unscrew and remove the salt
reservoir cap located on the floor of
the wash cabinet.
^Place the provided funnel over the
salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir must be filled with
2 quarts (2 l) of water before adding
salt for the first time. Water does not
have to be added with subsequent
refills.
^
Carefully fill with salt. The salt
reservoir holds approximately 4.5 lbs
(2 kg) of 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
immediately, run the Rinse & Hold
program. This will remove any traces
of salt from inside the wash cabinet.

							Salt indicator
When the salt reservoir is empty, the
Salt-PC indicator will light, indicating
that it should be refilled with
reactivation salt.
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically
reactivated the next time the
dishwasher is started. The Salt
indicator will be lit during this process.Bypassing the salt indicator
If your water is soft (below 8 gr/gal) the
salt reservoir should not be filled with
salt. The indicator will remain lit and
should be disregarded or bypassed.
^Remove the salt reservoir cap.
Looking into the salt reservoir, you will
see the top of the float chamber on the
right hand side,a.
^
Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot
the float chamber towards the center
of the reservoir.
^
Using needle nose pliers, pull the
cap,b, off of the float chamber, and
remove the float,c.
Replace the float chamber cap, push
the chamber back into its upright
position, and replace the salt reservoir
cap. The Salt indicator should no
longer be lit.

							Rinse aid
Rinse aid is recommended to prevent
spotting on dishes and glassware.
,Filling the rinse aid reservoir with
detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
residential dishwashersinto the
reservoir.
Adding rinse aid

Add rinse aid before the first use and
whenever the Rise aid indicator
lights.
^
Press the button in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.^Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir
until it is visible on the surface of the
screen.
^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 normal
operation.

							Adjusting 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.
^Use a higher setting if spots appear
on dry glassware.
^Use a lower setting if streaking
appears on dishes or glasses.
Rinse aid indicator
The rinse aid indicator on the control
panel will light when the rinse aid
reservoir needs refilling.
When the indicator first comes on, there
will be enough rinse aid left for 2 - 3
washes.
