^ For fastest possible wash times, yet higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source. ^ For most economical dishwashing make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher.
The water hardness can be deter- mined by calling your local water com- pany, 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 de- tergent.
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. The Child Safety Lock is designed to prevent children from opening the dish- washer.
To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard wa- ter results in the build up of calcium de- posits on dishes and in the dishwasher. If your tap water hardness is above 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), the water should be softened.
Programming and changing the wa- ter hardness level ^ 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”...
^ 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...

^ Clean any excess salt from the threads of the reservoir opening. ^ Screw the cap on firmly. If the dishwasher will not be used im- mediately after reactivation, run the “Rinse & Hold” program. This will re- move any traces of salt from inside the...
After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reacti- vated the next time the dishwasher is started. The “Softener” indicator will light during this process. Note: If your water is soft (below 8 gr/gal) the salt reservoir should not be filled with salt.
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.
Before using for the first time ^ 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 resi- dential dishwashers.
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.
Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discolor- ation 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.
Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket. Loading the dishwasher Adjustable cup rack To make room for tall items raise the rack or lower it to double stack small pieces.

Spoons should be placed in the opposite direc- tion with handles between the holders.

The “Start” (16) indicator light goes out. The dishwasher continues to use electricity until turned off with the “On/Off” button. The water valve should be closed if the dishwasher will not be used for an ex- tended period, (e.g. while vacationing).
Once the door is closed, the program will continue from the point it was at when the door was opened. Warning! The water in the dishwasher could be hot! Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. There is a danger of being burned.
^ Dishes will cool much faster if the dishwasher door is opened a few inches after a program has finished. ^ First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket and cutlery tray (if so equipped).
^ Turn off the dishwasher. ^ Turn the handle counterclockwise to release the filters. ^ Lift the combination filter out of the machine.
Page 37
^ After cleaning, make sure that the coarse filter cover is properly locked in place. Cleaning and care ^ Return the combination filter so that it lies flat in the base of the dishwasher. Secure it by turning the handle clock- wise.
On occasion particles of food may get stuck in the spray arm jets. They can be easily cleaned as follows: ^ Turn off the dishwasher. ^ Take out the cutlery tray (if equipped). ^ Push up on the upper spray arm to engage the ratchet mechanism and unscrew the spray arm.
If lime scale or grease deposits form, they can be removed with a dishwasher cleaner. Cleaning the door and the door seal ^ Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth to remove any food particles.
With the aid of the following guide, minor problems can be corrected without a service call. Any work required on the electrical components of the dishwasher should only be performed by a qualified and trained person in accordance with local and national regulations.
