Unused plumbing connections, e.g. if there is only one connection, can be deactivated here. Following commissioning the plumbing connections can be reinstated by Miele Service. Plumbing connections Accept Cold water The plumbing connection is set via multiple choice. A box is shown in the display next to all plumbing connections.
Page 28
Commissioning Commissioning Commissioning is completed when the following message is completed displayed. Set up successful Confirm the message with OK. The washer-disinfector is now ready for use. Universal Temperature 75 °C Duration 1:30 The settings made during the commissioning process are only adopted after a complete programme has been run.
Opening and closing the door Electronic door locking The washer-disinfector is equipped with a Comfort door lock. When the door is closed, the Comfort door lock automatically pulls the door into the correct position and ensures that it is correctly sealed. The door is then electronically locked.
Opening and closing the door Opening the door using the emergency release The emergency release may only be used when it is no longer possible to open the door normally, e.g. in the event of a power cut. If the emergency release is operated during a programme cycle, hot water and cleaning agents can escape.
Water softener Water hardness In order to achieve good cleaning results, the machine needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on the load and in the machine. Mains water with a water hardness of 0.7 mmol/l (4 °dH) must be softened.
Water softener Setting the water hardness level Water hardness can be set between 0 and 12.6 mmol/l (0 - 70 °dH). Open the menu as follows: button Further settings Water hardness Water hardness °dH (0 - 70 °dH ) The bottom line of the display shows the possible input range.
Water softener Filling the salt reservoir Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt with a granule size of approx. 1 - 4 mm. Do not under any circumstances use other types of salt such as table salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
Page 35
Water softener Never fill the container with water. The container could overflow when filled with salt. Add salt into the container until the funnel is full but still closes easily. Do not add any more than 2 kg of salt. As the salt container is being filled, displaced water (brine) may run out.
Water softener Add salt reminder If the salt level in the reservoir is low, the following reminder will appear: Refill salt Confirm the message with the OK button and fill the reservoir as described. When the message first appears, there may be sufficient salt for a further programme, depending on the water hardness level set.
Conversion must be carried out by Miele Service and is only available for selected models. The fitting of connectors for the water supply of mobile units and baskets must be carried out by Miele Service.
Areas of application Adjusting the upper basket Height-adjustable upper baskets can be adjusted between three positions with 2 cm between each position to accommodate items of different heights. To adjust the height, the brackets with rollers on the side of the upper basket and the water connector at the back of the basket have to be moved.
Page 39
Areas of application ... Middle position: Move the roller brackets on both sides to the middle position and secure them firmly. Position the stainless steel plate over the openings in the water supply pipe so that one of the outer apertures is covered. Secure the stainless steel plate at the top or bottom with 2 screws.
Special injector nozzles, irrigation sleeves or adapters may be required for appropriate internal cleaning, depending on the load. These, together with other accessories, are available from Miele. - Arrange the load so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that it gets properly cleaned.

Page 42
Areas of application Carry out a visual check before starting every programme: - Is everything correctly loaded/connected for cleaning? - Was the recommended loading template followed? - Can the lumen / narrow sections of hollow items be accessed by the wash fluid? - Are the spray arms clean and do they rotate freely? - Are the filters clean? Remove any coarse soiling and clean them if necessary.

Take all protective measures required by the process chemical manufacturer, e.g. wear protective goggles and protective gloves. Contact Miele for information about suitable process chemicals. Highly viscous (thick) process chemicals can affect the dispenser monitoring and lead to inaccurate data. In this instance, please contact the Miele Customer Service Department for advice.
Adding and dispensing chemical agents Neutralising agent Neutralising agent (pH setting: acidic) neutralises any residues of alkaline cleaning agents on the surface of the load. Neutralising agent is dispensed automatically in the Interim rinse phase after the main wash (see Programme charts). The reservoir must be filled and the dispensing system vented for this to occur.
