safety, use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future owner.
Correct application
This dishwasher is designed for
~
domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or
motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and
other typical living quarters to clean
domestic crockery, cutlery and
glassware. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial
facilities within hotels, motels or bed &
breakfasts.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage
resulting from incorrect or improper use
or operation.
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid
~
the risk of injury, keep children well
away and do not allow them to play in
or around the dishwasher, or to use the
controls. They will not understand the
potential dangers posed by it. They
should be supervised whenever you
are working in the kitchen. There is a
danger that children playing might shut
themselves in the dishwasher.
Older children may only use the
~
dishwasher when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
Keep children away from
~
detergents. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritants and corrosive
ingredients which can cause burning in
the mouth, nose and throat if
swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep
children away from the dishwasher
when the door is open. There could still
be detergent residues in the cabinet.
Consult a doctor immediately if your
child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
This dishwasher is not suitable for
~
outdoor use.
This appliance is not intended for
~

Warning and safety instructions
Technical safety
Before installation, check the
~
dishwasher for visible signs of damage.
Under no circumstances should you
use a damaged dishwasher. A
damaged dishwasher could be
dangerous.
The dishwasher must only be
~
plugged into the electricity supply via a
suitable switched socket. The electrical
socket must be easily accessible after
the dishwasher has been installed so
that it can be disconnected from the
electricity supply at any time. (See
"Electrical connection").
There must be no electrical sockets
~
behind the dishwasher. Danger of
overheating and fire risk if the
dishwasher were to be pushed up
against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be
~
installed under a cooktop. The high
radiant temperatures which are
sometimes generated by a cooktop
could damage the dishwasher. For the
same reason, it should not be installed
next to open fires or other appliances
which give off heat, such as heaters
etc.
Do not connect the dishwasher to
~
the mains supply until it has been fully
installed, including the adjustment of
the door springs.
Before connecting the appliance,
~
check that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and rated load)
match the mains electricity supply. If in
any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
The electrical safety of this
~
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system. It is
most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly
tested and where there is any doubt,
the electrical system in the house
should be checked by a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to the
~
mains electricity supply via a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
7
Warning and safety instructions
This appliance must not be used in
~
mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
The plastic housing of the water
~
connection contains an electrical
component. The housing must not be
dipped in water.
There are live wires in the water inlet
~
hose. Never cut the water inlet hose,
even if it is too long.
The integrated Waterproof system
~
offers protection from water damage,
provided the following conditions are
met:
– The dishwasher is correctly installed
and plumbed in.
– The appliance is properly maintained
and parts are replaced where it can
be seen that this is necessary.
– The tap has been turned off when
the appliance is not used for a longer
period of time (e.g. during holidays).
The Waterproof system will work even if
the appliance is switched off. However,
the appliance must remain connected
to the electricity supply.
A damaged dishwasher could be
~
dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, switch it off at the mains im
mediately and call Miele.
Unauthorised repairs could result in
~
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be
~
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
Always disconnect the dishwasher
~
from the electrical supply for
maintenance work (switch off at the wall
socket and remove the plug).
If the connection cable is damaged,
~
it must be replaced with a Miele cable
by a Miele approved service technician
only.
In areas which may be subject to

Warning and safety instructions
Correct installation
The dishwasher must be installed
~
and connected in compliance with the
installation instructions.
The dishwasher must be correctly
~
aligned to ensure problem-free
operation.
In order to ensure stability,
~
built-under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a
continuous worktop which is secured to
adjacent cabinetry.
If you want to convert your
~
freestanding dishwasher to a
built-under ("U") model, you will need to
order the appropriate conversion kit. If
you remove the existing plinth, you
must replace it with a U-model plinth.
This is necessary to avoid the risk of
injury caused by protruding metal
parts.
The door springs on either side
~
need to be evenly adjusted. They are
correctly adjusted if the half-opened
door (approx. 45° door opening angle)
remains in this position when it is
released. The door must not fall down
under its own weight.
Correct use
Do not use solvents in the
~
dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
Avoid inhalation of powder
~
detergents. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant or corrosive ingredients
which can cause burning in the nose,
mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Consult a doctor immediate
ly if detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled.
Avoid leaving the door open
~
unnecessarily as you could trip over it.
Do not sit or lean on the opened
~
door. This could cause the dishwasher
to tip and be damaged, and you could
get injured.
Only use detergent and rinse aid
~
formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Do not use washing-up liquid.
Do not use commercial or industrial
~
detergents as these may cause
damage, and there is a risk of severe
chemical reaction.
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with
~
powder or liquid detergent. This will
cause serious damage to the reservoir.
-
9
Warning and safety instructions
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
~
with powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent will damage the water
softener.
Please only use special coarse
~
grained dishwasher salt for reactivation,
as other salts may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the softener.
In an appliance with a cutlery basket
~
(depending on model) cutlery is
cleaned and dried more efficiently if
placed in the basket with the handles
downwards. However, to avoid the risk
of injury, place knives and forks etc.
with the handles upwards.
Plastic items which cannot withstand
~
being washed in hot water, such as
disposable plastic containers, or plastic
cutlery and crockery should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher. The high
temperatures in the dishwasher may
cause them to melt or lose shape.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts
~
and accessories with this dishwasher. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the warranty, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
Disposal of your old
dishwasher
Make the door lock inoperative so
~
that children cannot accidentally shut
themselves in. Remove or destroy the
locking bracket of the door lock.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
On models with "Delay start", make
~
sure that the dispenser is dry before
adding detergent. Wipe dry if
necessary. Detergent will clog if poured
into a damp dispenser and may not be
thoroughly dispensed.
10
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packing material protects the
dishwasher from transport damage.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic
,
wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed
of safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger
of suffocation.
The packaging consists of the following
materials:
Outer packaging:
– Corrugated cardboard made from up
to 100% recyclable material:
or: Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap
– Polyproplylene (PP) strapping
Inner packaging:
–
Chlorine and fluorine free expanded
polystyrene (EPS)
–
Base, lid frame and support battens
made from untreated natural wood
from renewable forests
–
Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic machines
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Therefore, please do not dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre or contact your Chartered Agent
for advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person.
To enable sorting by type of plastic for
recycling, all plastic parts of the
appliance are labelled with international
standard symbols.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
11
Caring for the environment
Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity.
You can make the most of your
appliance by following these tips:
If your household water system is
^
suitable, this dishwasher can be
connected to a hot water supply for
further economies. If the water is
heated by for example, solar panels,
this would be energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity, we would recommend
connection to cold water.
^ For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
^ Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
^ Select the Energy save programme
for energy-saving dishwashing
recommended for a normal soiled
load.
^
Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
^
When using powder or liquid
detergent, you can use
detergent if baskets are only half full.

Before using for the first time
To open the door
^ Press the release catch inside the
door grip upwards and pull the door
open.
If the door is opened during operation,
all functions are automatically
interrupted.
To close the door
Safety lock
Use the safety lock to prevent children
opening the dishwasher door.
^ To lock the door, push the slide
underneath the door grip to the right.
^ To unlock the door, push the slide to
the left.
^ Push the baskets right in.
^
Then lift the door upwards and push
until it clicks into position.
13
Before using for the first time
Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in the build-up of calcium
deposits on crockery and in the
dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d –
German scale) needs to be softened.
This takes place automatically in the
integrated water softener.
The water softener requires
–
reactivation salt.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed for the water hardness
in your area.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 °d
German scale) always programme the
dishwasher to the higher value
(3.1 mmol/l in this example).
The dishwasher is set at the factory
for a hardness level of
0.2 - 0.7 mmol/l (1-4°d).
If this setting corresponds to the
hardness of your water you do not need
to do anything more.
If your water is harder or softer, you will
need to programme the water hardness
level. See following section.
In the event of a fault, it will help the
service technician if you know the
hardness of your local water supply.
^
Enter the water hardness below:
mmol/l or °d
14
Before using for the first time
To programme the water hardness
level
Each time a button is pressed, one of
the indicator lights will flash and light
up in the control panel. However, only
the indicator lights mentioned in the
following programming process stages
are significant.
The programming procedure can be
cancelled at any time by pressing the
K button. The procedure can then be
re-started from the beginning again.
^ Switch the dishwasher off using the
K button.
^ Turn the programme selector to the
"12 o'clock" position.
^ Press the Start/Stop button in and
whilst holding it in switch the
dishwasher on using the K button.
Keep the Start/Stop button pressed in
until the Start/Stop indicator comes
on.
If this does not happen, start the
procedure from the beginning again.
^
Turn the programme selector to the
"3 o'clock" position.
The "Wash/Rinse" programme
sequence indicator will flash briefly
once at intervals (factory default
setting).
The number of times the Wash/Rinse
programme sequence indicator flashes
tells you the value which has been set
(see chart).
°d mmol/l °f Wash/Rinse
1 - 4 0.2 - 0,7 2- 7 Once briefly
5 - 7 0.9 - 1.3 9- 13 Twice briefly
8 - 11 1.4 - 2.0 14- 20 3 times briefly
12 - 15 2.2 - 2.7 22- 27 4 times briefly
16 - 20 2.9 - 3.6 29- 36 5 times briefly
21 - 25 3.8 - 4.5 38- 45 6 times briefly
26 - 30 4.7 - 5.4 47- 54 7 times briefly
31 - 36 5.6 - 6.5 56- 65 8 times briefly

^ Use the Start/Stop button to select
the number of flashes which equates
to your water hardness level.
Each press of the button moves you
up a level. When the highest water
hardness level is reached, the setting
starts from the beginning again.
Example:
If your water hardness level is
4.0 mmol/l (22 °d), the Wash/Rinse
indicator should flash briefly six times
at intervals.
^
Switch the dishwasher off using the
K button.
15
Before using for the first time
Checking the programmed water
hardness level
Switch the dishwasher off using the
^
K button.
Turn the programme selector to the
^
"12 o'clock" position.
Press the Start/Stop button in and
^
whilst holding it in switch the
dishwasher on using the K button.
Keep the Start/Stop button pressed in
until the Start/Stop indicator comes
on.
Turn the programme selector to the
^
"3 o'clock" position.
The Wash/Rinse indicator will flash for
the number of times which corresponds
to the water hardness level which has
been set (see chart).
^ Switch the dishwasher off using the
K button.
16
Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:
Approx. 2 litres of water,
–
Approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,
–
Domestic dishwasher detergent,
–
Rinse aid formulated for domestic
–
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been used
previously.
Filling the salt reservoir
If you use combination products
which have salt in them, such as "3
in 1" or "4 in 1" products in your
dishwasher, you should still add salt
in order to achieve optimum results
and to ensure that the water softener
continues to function correctly.
Before using for the first time
Important: Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time, you must fill it with
approx. 2 litre of water to enable the
salt to dissolve. Once the
dishwasher has been used, there is
always sufficient water in the
reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt
,
reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.
Miele recommends using
,
specially designed dishwasher salt
to maximize the performance of your
dishwasher and to prevent a
build-up of calcium and limescale in
the dishwasher cabinet, especially if
you live in a hard water area.
Dishwasher salt can be purchased
online at www.miele-shop.com
(depending on country) or from
Miele.
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need
to add salt.
The water softener must, however,
still be programmed to correspond
to the water hardness level in your
area.
17
Before using for the first time
Remove the lower basket and
^
unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Water or saline solution will run out
of the reservoir when the cap is
removed. It should therefore only be
removed in order to refill the salt
reservoir.
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres
^
of water (first use only).
^
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
salt until the reservoir is full. The salt
reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt.
Insufficient salt indication
Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
^
salt when the salt indicator light
comes on. (If it comes on during a
programme, wait until the end of the
programme).
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically
reactivated the next time the
dishwasher is run. The salt indicator
light may still be illuminated during this
process. It will go out once the salt
concentration has reached the correct
level.
The salt indicator is deactivated when
the dishwasher has been programmed
to a water hardness level below
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d).
,
After refilling the salt reservoir,
run the Quick wash programme immediately without any crockery in
the dishwasher to remove any traces
of salt from the cabinet.
^
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again firmly.
^
Run the Quick wash programme im
mediately without any crockery in the
dishwasher, (and without selecting
the "Turbo" extra option, depending
on model) to remove any traces of
salt from the cabinet.
18
-
Before using for the first time
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on
crockery during the drying phase and
helps crockery dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
,
reservoir with powder or liquid
detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
domestic dishwashers into the
reservoir.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
– household vinegar with max. 5% acid
content
or
– liquid citric acid up to 10% acid
content.
Adding rinse aid
^ Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
will not, however, be as good as when
rinse aid is used.
,
Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence
25% acid). This would damage the
dishwasher.
If you only ever use combination
products containing rinse aid in your
dishwasher, you do not need to add
rinse aid.
19
Before using for the first time
Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
^
the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
110 ml.
^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water can enter
the rinse aid reservoir during a
programme.
Rinse aid indicator
When the light comes on, the reservoir
contains sufficient rinse aid for2-3
programmes only.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
^
^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring
during the next programme.
20
Setting the rinse aid dosage
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for
best results.
The rinse aid dosage can be set from
approx. 0-6 ml. It is set to a
recommended setting of approx. 3ml at
the factory. If spots appear on crockery
and glassware:
Increase the rinse aid dosage.
^
Before using for the first time
Turn the programme selector to the
^
"5 o'clock" position.
The Wash/Rinse indicator will flash
briefly three times at intervals.
This means that approx. 3 ml of rinse
aid will be used per programme
(factory default setting).
The number of times the Wash/Rinse
programme sequence indicator flashes
tells you the rinse aid dosage which
has been set (see chart).
If clouding or smearing appears on
crockery and glassware:
^ Decrease the rinse aid dosage.
^ Switch the dishwasher off with the
On/Off button K.
^ Turn the programme selector to the
"12 o'clock" position.
^ Press the Start/Stop button in and,
whilst holding it in, switch the
dishwasher on using the On/Off
button K.
Keep the Start/Stop button pressed in
for at least four seconds until the
"Start/Stop" indicator light comes on.
If this does not happen, start the
procedure from the beginning again.

Loading the dishwasher
Note
Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.
There is no need to rinse items under
running water.
Do not wash items soiled with
,
ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease
or paint in the dishwasher.
These materials will cause damage
to the dishwasher.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in
the baskets, but the following notes
should be observed:
– Do not place crockery and cutlery
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
– Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures
that they get properly cleaned.
– Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
–
Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the
basket.
Wide based items should be placed
–
at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.
The spray arms must not be blocked
–
by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets.
If in doubt, test for free movement by
manually rotating the spray arms.
Make sure that small items cannot
–
fall through the holders in the
baskets.
Small items, e.g. lids, should
therefore be placed in the cutlery
tray or cutlery basket (depending on
model).
Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or
tomato sauce. Plastic items in the
dishwasher may discolour if large
quantities of these foodstuffs find
their way into the appliance on the
crockery. The stability of plastic
items is not affected by this
discolouration.
–
Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the centre of the basket to
ensure better water coverage.
22
Loading the dishwasher
Items not suitable for
dishwashers:
Wooden cutlery and crockery or
–
items with wooden parts: these may
discolour and fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof
and wooden handles may come
loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.
Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
–
and decorative glassware are also
not suitable for dishwashers.
Plastic items which are not heat
–
resistant can melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items may discolour or become matt.
– Colours painted over a glaze
may fade after a number of washes.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. Do not wash
delicate glassware, or glassware
containing lead crystal in a
dishwasher.
We recommend:
When purchasing new crockery and
–
cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-proof.
If delicate glassware is washed in the
–
dishwasher, ensure that only very low
temperatures are used (see
Programme chart), or a special
glass-care programme is used
(depending on model). This will
reduce the risk of clouding.
Wash particularly delicate glassware
–
by hand.
Please note
Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or
spotted at the end of a programme,
where water has not run off smoothly. It
may need to be rubbed dry with a soft
cloth. It may need to be rubbed dry
with a soft cloth.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions,
mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish
brine and marinades.
,
Aluminium components (e.g.
grease filters) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents. These
may damage the material, or in
extreme cases, cause a severe
chemical reaction. See section
"Adding detergent" for information
on suitable detergents.

Loading the dishwasher
Upper basket
For safety reasons, do not
,
operate the dishwasher without the
upper and lower baskets in place.
^ Use the upper basket for small,
lightweight and delicate items such
as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert
bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole
dishes can also be placed in the
upper basket.
Cup rack (depending on model)
To make room for tall items, raise the
^
rack upwards.
Glasses can be arranged along the
positioning rail of the cup rack to give
them some support during the
programme.
Lower the cup rack and lean the
^
glasses against it.
^
Long items such as soup ladles,
mixing spoons and long knives
should be placed lying down across
the front of the upper basket.
24
Loading the dishwasher
Adjusting the upper basket
In order to gain more space for taller
pieces of crockery in the bottom or
upper basket, the upper basket can be
adjusted on three levels with 2 cm
between each level.
The upper basket can also be set at an
angle with one side high and the other
side low. This can be useful to help
prevent water being left in deep dishes
etc. Ensure, however, that the basket
can be inserted smoothly into the
cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket
before loading it.
^ Pull out the upper basket.
Depending on the setting of the upper
basket, the following plate dimensions
can be accommodated.

Place large platters and dishes in the
centre of the lower basket.
When tilted, plates up to 35 cm in
diameter can be accommodated.
Cutlery
Cutlery tray (depending on model)
^ Arrange the cutlery in the tray as
shown.
To make unloading much easier,
cutlery should be grouped in zones,
one for knives, one for forks, one for
spoons, etc.
Loading the dishwasher
If spoon handles do not fit between the
holders, lay them the other way round.
Spoon heads should be placed in
contact with at least one of the serrated
retainers on the base of the cutlery tray
to ensure that water runs off them
freely.
The upper spray arm must not be
blocked by items which are too big
(e.g. cake slices).
27
Loading the dishwasher
Cutlery basket (depending on model)
The cutlery basket can be placed
anywhere on the front rows of spikes in
the lower basket.
^ In an appliance with a cutlery basket
(depending on model) cutlery is
cleaned and dried more efficiently if
placed in the basket with the handles
downwards.
However, to avoid the risk of injury,
place knives and forks etc. with the
handles upwards.
Fit it onto the cutlery basket if
^
required.
^
Place small items of cultlery in the
individual slots on three sides of the
cutlery basket.
Cutlery insert for the cutlery basket
Use the insert supplied for heavily
soiled spoons.
The insert separates the items so that
they can be more easily accessed by
water.
28
^
Insert cutlery with the handles facing
downwards, and distribute them
evenly along the insert.
Operation
Detergent
Only use detergents formulated
,
for domestic dishwashers. Do not
use washing-up liquid.
Active ingredients
Modern detergents contain various
active ingredients, the most important
of which are:
Phosphates to prevent calcification.
–
Alkalis to aid removal of dried on
–
soiling.
– Enzymes to break down starch and
loosen protein.
– Oxygen based bleaching agents to
remove coloured stains (e.g. tea,
coffee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents contain
phosphates and are mildly alkaline with
enzymes and oxygen based bleaching
agents. Phosphate free products are
rare.
Types of detergent:
–
Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the size of load and level of soiling.
–
Tab detergents. These are suitable
for most levels of soiling.
Miele branded dishwasher powder
and tabs are available from Miele or
www.miele-shop.com, depending on
country.
A variety of combination products is also
available.
In addition to detergent, combi tabs
contain rinse aid and salt substitutes.
Combi tabs are available as "3 in 1" or,
when they also contain other components
such as glass and stainless steel
protective additives and enhanced
cleaning power, as "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc.
Refer to the manufacturer's packaging as
to whether the combi tabs are suitable for
the water hardness level in your area.
Please note that the cleaning and drying
results of tab detergents can vary greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying
results, use Miele dishwasher
detergent and add Miele salt and
Miele rinse aid separately.
Under certain circumstances
unsatisfactory washing and drying
results might be noticed when using
combination dishwasher detergents.
These products contain a combination
of detergent and rinse aid or detergent
and salt (2 in 1) or detergent, rinse aid
and salt (3 in 1). Drying results might
not be as good as expected or
residues or flecks might be left on
crockery. If results are still
unsatisfactory, even after seeking
advice from the detergent
manufacturer, we suggest that you
change to a different product or use a
traditional dishwasher detergent.
29
Operation
Dispensing
Follow the dosage recommended by
^
the manufacturer on the packaging.
Unless directed otherwise, use one
^
detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml
detergent to compartment II,
depending on the level of soiling.
With very heavy soiling you can also
add a small amount of detergent to
compartment l (see "Programme
chart").
Do not use tabs with the "Quick wash"
^
programme, as they will not dissolve
properly.
Failure to dispense the
recommended amount of detergent
may impair cleaning results.
Avoid inhalation of powder
,
detergents and do not ingest
dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher
detergents contain irritant or corrosive
ingredients which can cause burning
in the nose, mouth and throat if
swallowed, or inhibit breathing.
Consult a doctor immediately if
detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled.
Keep detergent and other household
agents out of the reach of children at
all times. Keep children away from the
dishwasher when the door is open.
There could still be detergent residues
in the cabinet. To avoid the danger of
children coming into contact with the
dishwasher detergent, only add
detergent just before starting the
programme and close the door,
activating the child safety lock (if your
dishwasher is fitted with one).
30
Operation
Adding detergent
^ Press the opening catch on the
detergent dispenser. The flap will
spring open.
The flap is always open at the end of a
programme.
For information
Compartment I holds max. 10 ml,
Compartment II holds max. 50 ml.
There are markings in compartment II
to assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The
marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or
30 ml when the door is open in a
horizontal position.
^
Add the required amount of
detergent and close the flap.
^
Make sure that the detergent
packaging is properly closed after
use to avoid it getting damp and
becoming lumpy.
31
Operation
Switching on
Make sure the spray arms are not
^
obstructed.
Close the door.
^
Turn on the tap if it is turned off.
^
Switch the dishwasher on using the
^
On/Off button K.
The End indicator light comes on if the
programme selector is not pointing at a
programme.
Selecting a programme
Choose your programme according to
the type of load and how dirty it is.
The different programmes and their
uses are described in the Programme
chart later on in this booklet.
Starting the programme
Turn the programme selector
^
clockwise or anti-clockwise to the
required programme.
The Start/Stop indicator light will flash.
Press the Start/Stop button.
^
The programme will begin. The
Start/Stop and Wash/Rinse indicator
lights will come on.
A programme can only be cancelled
in the first few minutes. Otherwise
the programme must continue to the
end so that important programme
stages (e.g. reactivating the water
softener) are not omitted.
Programme sequence
indicators
After a programme has been started,
the current stage of the programme is
indicated by the programme sequence
indicator lights.
32
Operation
Standby
To save energy, the dishwasher will
switch to Standby mode a few minutes
after the last time a button has been
pressed or at the end of the
programme. The indicator lights are
switched off and only the Start/Stop
indicator flashes slowly.
To switch the indicator lights back
^
on, press the Start/Stop button.
Standby will be cancelled.
The dishwasher will not switch to
Standby mode whilst a programme
is running, if salt or rinse aid needs
to be refilled, or if there is a fault.
At the end of a programme
The "End" indicator light will come on at
the end of the programme.
The drying fan will run for a few
minutes after the end of the Quick
wash programme.
The dishwasher can now be opened
and unloaded (see "Unloading the
dishwasher").
,
To prevent the risk of steam
damage to the worktop edging
above the dishwasher, it is
advisable to leave the door closed
until you are ready to unload the
crockery. Alternatively, you can
open the door fully until the crockery
is cool enough to unload. Do not
leave the door only partially open.
Switching off
At the end of a programme:
Switch the dishwasher off using the
^
On/Off button K.
The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until it is switched off with
the On/Off button K.
If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e.g.
whilst on holiday, the tap should be
turned off.
Unloading the dishwasher
Dishes tend to break and chip more
easily when they are hot.
Allow the dishes to cool until they are
comfortable enough to handle before
unloading them.
If you open the door fully after switching
off, the dishes will cool much faster.
^
First unload the lower basket, then
the upper basket and finally the
cutlery tray (depending on model).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and cutlery tray from
falling onto the dishes in the lower
basket.
33
Operation
Interrupting a programme
Operation is interrupted as soon as the
door is opened.
When the door is closed again, the
programme will continue from the point
it was at before the door was opened.
Water in the dishwasher may be
,
hot. Danger of scalding!
Only open the door if absolutely
necessary and exercise extreme
caution when doing so. Before
closing the door again, leave it ajar
for approx. 20 seconds. This will
enable the temperature in the wash
cabinet to settle. Then raise the
door upwards until the catch
engages.
Changing a programme
If the detergent dispenser flap has
already opened, do not change the
programme.
If a programme has already started and
you wish to change it, proceed as
follows:
Press the Start/Stop button for at
^
least one second.
The programme will be cancelled. The
Start/Stop indicator light will flash.
^ Select the programme you want, and
then start it.

35
Cleaning and care
Check the condition of your
dishwasher regularly (approx. every
4 - 6 months). This way faults and
problems can be avoided.
The outer surfaces of the
,
dishwasher are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
outer surfaces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely
self-cleaning, provided that the correct
amount of detergent is always used.
If, however, there are limescale or
grease deposits in the cabinet, these
can be removed with the Original Miele
dishwasher conditioning agent.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
^
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
^
When the dishwasher is being
loaded, food and drink residues may
drip onto the sides of the dishwasher
door.
These surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and are not accessed by
water from the spray arms. Any
soiling should be wiped off these
surfaces before the door is closed.
Cleaning the door front
Remove any soiling immediately.
,
If not, it might become impossible to
remove and could cause the outer
surface to alter or discolour.
Clean the front using a sponge, a
^
solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid. Wipe the surfaces
dry using a soft cloth.
For cleaning, you can also use a
clean, damp microfibre cloth without
any cleaning agent.
To avoid damaging the outer surface,
do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
–
solvent-based cleaning agents,
–
stainless steel cleaners,
–
dishwasher cleaner,
–
oven sprays,
–
glass cleaning agents,
–
hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
–
dirt erasers,
–
sharp metal scrapers.
36
Cleaning the filters in the wash
cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse soil from
the suds solution, preventing it
accessing the circulation system and
re-entering the cabinet through the
spray arms.
This dishwasher must not be
,
used without all the filters in place.
Collection of coarse soil may cause the
filters to clog. The level of soiling and
time it takes before the filters need
cleaning will vary depending on use.
Check the condition of the filters
regularly and clean them if necessary.
^ Switch the dishwasher off.
Cleaning and care
Turn the handle anti-clockwise to
^
release the filter combination a.
^ Take the filter combination out b,
remove any coarse particles and
rinse the filter well under running
water. Use a nylon brush if
necessary.
,
Ensure that coarse soil doesn't
get into the circulation system and
cause a blockage.
37
Cleaning and care
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap
must be opened:
^ Press catches a together in the
direction of the arrows as shown, and
open the filter b.
^ Rinse all the filters under running
water.
^ Then close the flap so that the catch
engages.
Replace the filter combination so that
^
it lies flat in the base of the wash
cabinet.
^ Then turn the handle clockwise until
both arrows point towards each
other. The filter combination is locked
in place.
,
Take care when you are fitting
the filter combination that it is
secured in position correctly.
Otherwise coarse soil could get into
the circulation system and cause a
blockage.
38
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray
arms should therefore be inspected
and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4
- 6 months).
Switch the dishwasher off.
^
Remove the spray arms as follows:
Take out the cutlery tray (if your
^
dishwasher is fitted with one).
Push the top spray arm upwards to
^
engage the inner ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm.
Remove the lower basket.
^
^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.
^
Push the middle spray arms upwards
a to engage the ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm b.
^
Use a pointed object to push food
particles into the spray arm jets.
^
Rinse thoroughly under running
water.
^
Replace the spray arms and check
that they rotate freely.

Maintenance
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw
connection of the valve on the water
inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned
when dirty, otherwise insufficient water
will flow into the wash cabinet.
The plastic housing of the water
,
connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped in
water.
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large
amount of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the tap and the
water inlet hose threaded union. This
filter is available from Miele.
Cleaning the filter:
^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply. Switch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.
^
Close the tap.
^
Unscrew the inlet hose.
Carefully remove the seal.
^
^ Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and rinse clean under running
water.
^ Replace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
^ Reconnect the inlet hose to the tap,
making sure it goes on correctly and
is not cross-threaded.
^
Turn on the tap gradually to test for
leaks. If there is a leak, the inlet hose
might not be on securely, or it may
have been screwed on at an angle.
Unscrew and reconnect the water
inlet valve correctly.
48
Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If the water has not been pumped away
at the end of a programme, the drain
pump or the non-return valve might be
blocked. They are, however, easy to
clean.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
^
mains supply. Switch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.
Take the filter combination out of the
^
wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and
care - Cleaning the filters in the wash
cabinet").
^ Scoop the water out of the cabinet
using a suitable container or utensil.
Maintenance
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
^ Remove all foreign objects from the
drain pump (watch out for glass or

This dishwasher is supplied with a
mains cable and moulded plug ready
for connection to an AC single phase
supply, (230 V 50 Hz for NZ and
Australia) via a fused plug and suitable
switched socket.
The electrical socket must be
,
easily accessible after the
dishwasher has been installed.
Do not connect the washing
machine to the mains electricity
supply by an extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(e.g. danger of overheating).
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must be replaced with a Miele cable by
a Miele approved service technician
only.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket which is easily
accessible. For extra safety, it is
advisable to install a suitable residual
current device (RCD).
The appliance must not be connected
to an isolated inverter which is
connected to a self-sufficient power
supply, e.g. solar power supply.
Voltage peaks when the appliance is
switched on can cause a safety
switch-off and the electronics may also
be damaged. The appliance must not
be operated in conjunction with
energy-saving plugs either as the
energy intake of the appliance is
reduced and it will overheat.
Electrical connection
Before connecting the
,
dishwasher, check that the
connection data on the data plate
(voltage and rated load) matches
the mains electricity supply. If in any
doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Technical data can be found on the
data plate on the right-hand side of the
door.
59
Water connection
The Miele Waterproof system
Provided that your dishwasher has
been installed correctly, the Miele
waterproof anti-leak system will protect
you from water damage throughout its
lifetime.
Connection to the water
supply
Water in the dishwasher must
,
not be used as drinking water.
The dishwasher may be connected
–
to a cold or hot water supply, max.
60 °C.
We would only recommend
connection to a hot water supply if it
is economical. When connected to a
hot water supply, all programme
stages which would otherwise be
carried out with cold water will be
carried out with hot water, thus
increasing time and energy costs.
The water pressure (flow pressure at
–
the take-off point) must be between
30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar). If
the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be
fitted.
After commissioning the appliance,
ensure that the water inlet does not
leak.
To avoid any damage to the
,
appliance, the dishwasher must only
be connected to a fully vented
plumbing system.
–
The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
A 1.5 m long flexible metal extension
hose, pressure tested to 14000 kPa/
140 bar, is available as an optional
accessory if required.
3
–
A
/4" male thread must be provided
on site.
–
The dishwasher is constructed to
comply with Australian regulations,
and may be connected to a suitable
supply without an extra non-return
valve if national regulations allow
this.
60
! The inlet hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way
as it contains electrical components
(see illustration).
Connection to the drainage
system
The appliance drainage system is
–
fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.
The dishwasher is supplied with
–
approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose
with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
The drain hose can be extended
–
using a connection piece to attach a
further length of hose.
The drainage length must not be
longer than 4 m, and the delivery
head must not exceed 1 m.
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the
hose clip supplied (see installation
diagram).
Water connection
After commissioning the appliance,
ensure that the water outlet does not
leak.
Venting the drainage system
If the on-site drain connection is
situated lower than the guide path for
the bottom basket rollers in the open
door, the drainage system must be
vented. Otherwise a siphoning effect
during a programme can cause the
appliance to empty itself of water.
To vent it:
^ Open the dishwasher door fully.
– The hose can be directed to the left
or the right of the appliance.
–
The on-site connector for the drain
hose can be adapted to different
widths of hose. If the connector
protrudes too far into the drain hose,
it will need to be shortened.
Otherwise the drain hose may
become blocked.
–
The drain hose must not be
shortened.
,
Make sure that there are no
kinks in the hose, and that it is not
squashed or stretched.
^
Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.
^
Cut off the top of the vent valve in the
wash cabinet.
