User Maintenance Instructions To prevent accidents and machine damage, read these instructions before installation or use.
Triple filter system The triple filter system in the base of the wash cabinet prevents food from being redeposited on dishes. It also protects the circulation pump from damage caused by foreign objects (e.g. broken glass, bones). The filter system should be cleaned every 4 - 6 months or whenever a foreign object is trapped. Cleaning the filter in the wash cabinet ^ Turn off the dishwasher before cleaning. ^ Turn the handle counterclockwise to release the triple filter system.
To clean the underside of the filter, the flap must be opened: ^ Return the filter so it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. ^ Pull back the yellow clip. ^ Lock the filter by turning the handle clockwise. ^ Rinse all parts under running water. Scrub with a nylon brush if necessary. ^ Close the flap so that the clip engages. ,The dishwasher must not be used without the filter locked in place.
Cleaning the spray arms ^ Remove the lower basket. Sometimes particles of food get stuck in the spray arm jets. The spray arms should be inspected and cleaned every 4 - 6 months. ^ Turn off the dishwasher before cleaning. Remove the spray arms as follows: ^ Remove the cutlery tray (if present). ^ Press the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet and unscrew the spray arm. ^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove.
Cleaning the wash cabinet Generally, the wash cabinet is self cleaning if the correct amount of dishwasher detergent is used.

Cleaning the door and door seal ^ Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth to remove any food particles. ^ Food residue and spilt liquids should be wiped from the sides of the dishwasher door.
Cleaning the water inlet filter A filter is incorporated in the intake hose attached to the dishwasher’s shut off valve. If your water is hard, or the pipes contain sediment, this filter may clog and prevent enough water from entering the wash cabinet. Installing an in-line water filter ^ If your water contains a large number of insoluble substances, a filter between the water valve and the intake hose connection is recommended. These filters can be purchased from Miele’s Technical Service Department.
Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve If the dishwasher is not completely drained at the end of a program, the drain pump or non-return valve may be blocked. ^ Turn off the dishwasher. ^ Remove the triple filter (see "Cleaning the filter in the wash cabinet"). ^ Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out of the wash cabinet. ^ Pull out the non-return valve and rinse well under running water. ^ Tilt the locking clamp to the side. The drain pump is beneath the non-return valve (see arrow).
