If the message is being displayed for the first time, further program runs may be possible depending on the set water hardness. The machine lock is lifted with a delay of a few minutes once salt has been added.
• Page 30: Filling the container for reactivation salt Add salt into the container until the funnel is full but still closes easily. The salt container will take approx. 4.4 lb (2 kg) of salt on the first fill depending on the degree of coarseness. Subsequent refills may take less salt, as there may still be salt remaining in the container. When filling the salt container, only open the door halfway to ensure that all the salt gets into the container. If there is water present in the container, it may be forced out by the added salt. Clean any excess salt from around the container opening and the seal surrounding it, and then close the flap. To avoid corrosion in the wash cabinet, run the Rinse program immediately after refilling the salt container. Press the button on the lid of the salt container in the direction of the arrow. Open the funnel. Do not pour any water into the salt container!
• Page 31: Cleaning agent and rinsing agent Dispenser module Dispensing systems can connect up to two additional external dispensing systems for liquid process chemicals. Risk to health due to process chemicals; some may be corrosive and irritant. Observe the relevant safety regulations issued by the process chemical manufacturers when handling process chemicals. Liquid process chemicals from external containers are dispensed by suction wands. Color coding the suction wands can be helpful for correct dispensing. Dishwashers are equipped with multiple dispensing systems for process chemicals. Cleaning agent can be dispensed in powder form, as a tab, or in liquid form. Rinsing agent can be dispensed via the door dispenser or via an external dispenser module. External dispenser modules can be retrofitted by Miele Customer Service or a suitably qualified specialist.
• Page 32: Cleaning agent and rinsing agent Only use cleaning agent suitable for commercial dishwashers. Suitable products are available from the Miele Professional product range. Cleaning agent can be dispensed in powder form, as a tab, or in liquid form. Powder cleaning agent and tabs are dispensed via the door dispenser. Only use cleaning agent tabs that are quick-dissolving. Before fitting the dispenser module, compare the connection data on the data plate with that on the data plate of your machine. When dispensing powder cleaning agents and tabs, avoid the production of dust as much as possible. Add powder cleaning agent or a tab to the powder cleaning agent dispenser before every wash program. Blank off unused connectors for dispensing hoses with safety caps to prevent the leakage of wash water.
• Page 33: Cleaning agent and rinsing agent The level markers in the powder dispensing canister equate to the amount dispensed in milliliters (ml). The max. capacity is approx. 60 ml of cleaning agent. Make sure that all of the cleaning agent has dissolved at the end of the program sequence. Repeat the program if residual cleaning agent is present. Check whether any wash items have prevented the flushing out of the dispensing canister and rearrange the wash items if necessary. Approx. 8.5 liters of water are taken into the machine for the main wash. With a cleaning agent concentration of approx. 3 g/l, you will need approx. 25 g of cleaning agent. With the Rapid program, the final rinse water is not pumped away at the end of the program. Cleaning agent cannot be rinsed out of the dispenser during the short program cycle time. Add cleaning agent to the dispensing canister. Start the wash program immediately after dispensing cleaning agent directly onto the inside of the door.
• Page 34: Cleaning agent and rinsing agent Liquid cleaning agent is dispensed from an external media canister via a suction wand. Replacing the media canister involves placing the liquid cleaning agent container on a robust and easy to clean surface. Liquid cleaning agent is dispensed either via an internal dispenser pump or an external dispenser module. Dispenser modules can be installed by Miele Customer Service and can be retrofitted at any time. When the fill level in the cleaning agent canister is low, you are reminded to change the media canister. Push the suction wand into the opening of the container and secure the lid, observing the color coding. Confirm the prompt with OK and change the cleaning agent canister. If using a long suction lance in a 5 litre canister, or if the 10 litre canister is only half full, a prompt will appear in the display. Select the canister size when prompted. Wipe up any spilled process chemical thoroughly.
• Page 35: Cleaning agent and rinsing agent Rinsing agent is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on wash items, and to help wash items dry faster after the final rinse. Never add cleaning agent. This will always destroy the rinsing agent container. Only fill the rinsing agent container with rinsing agent for commercial dishwashers. The rinsing agent concentration must be adjusted in certain circumstances. If there are spots of water left on wash items after reprocessing, then the dispensing concentration is set too low. If clouding or smearing appears on wash items after reprocessing, the dispensing concentration is set too high. The rinsing agent is dispensed in the final rinse program stage. When the fill level in the rinsing agent container is low, you are reminded to refill the dispensing canister. Add rinsing agent only until it is up to the “max.” mark on the edge of the funnel.
• Page 36: Cleaning agent and rinsing agent Close the container. Place the rinsing agent container on a robust and easy to clean surface. Wipe up any spilled rinsing agent thoroughly to prevent over-foaming. You can start the cold program to rinse off any spilled rinsing agent. Take the lid off the media canister and remove the suction wand. When the fill level in the rinsing agent container is low, you are reminded to change the media canister. Replace the empty container with a full one. Confirm the prompt with OK and change the rinsing agent canister. Fill the dispensing path. Wipe up any spilled process chemical thoroughly.
• Page 37: Loading the dishwasher If you need to wash large items in the lower basket, you can remove the upper basket. Remove coarse food residues from dishware. Small items can fall through the holders in the baskets and should be placed in the cutlery basket. There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water. Wash items not suitable for dishwashers include wooden cutlery and dishware, craft items, antiques, and valuable vases. Do not put acids or solvents in the wash cabinet. Load dishware and utensils into the appropriate places in the baskets. Load plates symmetrically in the upper and lower baskets with the concave surfaces facing the center. Make sure that all items are securely positioned. The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets.
• Page 38: Loading the dishwasher It is recommended to ensure that dishware and cutlery are dishwasher-safe. Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent rinses in the dishwasher. When washing delicate glasses, select a special glass-care program with very low temperatures. Using a suitable cleaning agent can reduce the risk of clouding. Silver and aluminum in contact with sulfur-containing foods can discolor. Aluminum components must not be cleaned with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial cleaning agents. These agents may damage the material and pose a risk of an explosive chemical reaction. Do not clean pretreated aluminum components in the dishwasher.
• Page 39: Loading the dishwasher Use the upper basket for small, lightweight, and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Light, heat-resistant plastic items can also be loaded in the upper basket. Smaller shallow pots and pans can also be washed in the upper basket. You can fold up the FlexCare cup rack to place large cups, glasses, and mugs in the upper basket. The upper basket can be removed in order to wash larger items in the lower basket. The middle insert can be removed from the upper basket to wash larger pots and pans or to replace it with other inserts.

If no hot water supply is available, the inlet hose with the red marking must also be connected to the cold water supply. A faucet with a 3/4 inch male thread must be provided on site. The dishwasher must be connected to the water supply in strict accordance with current local and national water authority regulations. The DN 10 water inlet hose is approx. 67 (1.7 m) long, terminating in a 3/4 inch female thread. The water used must at least comply with national codes for drinking water quality. In certain regions, the water composition may cause precipitates to form, requiring the use of softened water for the dishwasher. The water pressure must amount to at least 29 psi (200 kPa) overpressure. Do not shorten or otherwise damage the water inlet hoses supplied with the machine.
• Page 108: Plumbing Connecting the water drainage system The dishwasher drainage system has a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose. The dishwasher drainage hose should be connected to a separate on-site drainage system for the dishwasher only. If no separate drain is available, we recommend connecting it to a dual-chamber siphon. The on-site connection must be between 12 (0.3 m) and 39 (1 m) in height, measured from the lower edge of the machine. The dishwasher is supplied with an approx. 59 (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8 (22 mm). The drain hose must not be shortened. The drainage length must not be longer than 13 ft (4 m). The drainage system must be able to handle a discharge rate of at least 4.2 gpm (16 l/min). Make sure that there are no kinks in the drain hose, and that it is not crushed or stretched.
