Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time,
please note the following points.
Setting the water softener

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.

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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
