Warning and safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use can however lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions
carefully before starting to use this
machine.This way you will avoid the
risk of accidents, and damage to
the machine.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place for reference, and pass them
on to any future user.
Appropriate usage
This dishwasher is intended exclu-
sively for cleaning domestic croc-
kery and cutlery in a domestic house-
hold. Do not use for purposes other
than those for which it was designed.
Any other applications may be dan-
gerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused by
improper use or for uses other than
those for which the appliance is in-
tended.
Delivery
A damaged appliance is dan-
gerous. It is therefore essential to
check packaging immediately and
examine the dishwasher for transport
damage. Under no circumstances
should you use a damaged machine.
Please ensure that the packaging
material is offered for recycling.
Installation
The dishwasher must be installed
and connected in compliance with
the installation instructions.
In order to ensure stability, built-
under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a con-
tinuous worktop which is secured to ad-
jacent cabinetry.
The dishwasher must not be in-
stalled under a hob unit. The high
temperatures sometimes dissipated by
radiant heat could damage the dish-
washer.
Do not connect the dishwasher to
the mains supply until it has been
installed.
Check that the voltage, frequency
and fuse rating shown on the data
plate match the household mains sup-
ply.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement is tested and where
there is any doubt the electrical system
in the house is checked out by a quali-
fied electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for damage caused by the
lack or inadequacy of an effective ear-
thing system (electric shock, for
example).
Warning and safety instructions
6
A damaged appliance is dan-
gerous. Switch off at the mains
and call your Miele supplier or the
Miele Service Department.
With the “Waterproof system” the
plastic housing of the water inlet
connection contains an electrical com-
ponent. The housing must therefore not
be dipped in water.
Never cut the water inlet hose,
even if it is too long. There are live
wires in this hose.
For safety reasons do not operate
this appliance on an extension
cable. (Danger of overheating).
Daily use
Do not use solvents in the dish-
washer. Danger of explosion.
Water in the dishwasher must not
be used as drinking water.
Avoid inhalation of powder deter-
gents. Dishwasher detergents con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They
can cause burning in the mouth and
throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.
Consult a doctor immediately if detergent
has been swallowed or inhaled.
Do not sit or lean on the opened
door. This could cause the dish-
washer to tip and be damaged and you
could get injured.
In an appliance with a cutlery bas-
ket (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 cutlery with sharp points
with the handles upwards.
Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers. Do not use
washing-up liquid.
Only use rinse aid formulated for
domestic dishwashers.
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as
other salts may contain insoluble addi-
tives which can impair the functioning
of the softener.
Plastic items which cannot with-
stand 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.
Warning and safety instructions
7
Take care on dishwashers with a
visible heater element
Do not touch the heating element
during or directly after the end of a
programme, you could burn yourself.
Some plastic items could melt or
catch fire if they were to come into
contact with the heating element. There-
fore always place plastic items or any
other items which may not be com-
pletely heat resistant in the upper bas-
ket and ensure they cannot drop down
onto the heater element. Any items
which are too small to be lodged se-
curely in the upper basket should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Safety with children
Do not let small children play with
the dishwasher and its controls or
operate it. There is a danger that child-
ren playing might shut themselves in
the dishwasher.
Keep children away from deter-
gents. Dishwasher detergents con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the mouth
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit brea-
thing. Consult a doctor immediately if
your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
To avoid the danger of children
coming into contact with the dish-
washer detergent:
Only add detergent
just before starting
the programme and close the door, ac-
tivating the child safety lock (depend-
ing on model).
Keep children away from the dish-
washer when the door is open. There
could be detergent residues in the ap-
pliance.
To ensure children do not come
into contact with detergent:
For models with the “Delay start” option
make sure the dispenser is dry before
adding detergent. Wipe dry if necess-
ary. Detergent will clog if poured into a
damp dispenser and may not be thor-
oughly dispersed. If the door is open at
the end of a programme, children may
come into contact with this residue.
To avoid machine and material
damage
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir
with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the
reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-
voir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent always leads to
serious damage to the water softener.
Do not use commercial or indus-
trial detergents as these may dam-
age material and there is a risk of
severe chemical reaction.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these ma-
terials away, please ensure they are of-
fered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance

can be recycled. Please contact your
local authorities or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes, be-
fore disposing of the appliance.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. See the appropriate sec-
tion in the Warning and Safety instruc-
tions.
Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally econ-
omical in its use of water and electricity.
You can make the most of your ap-
pliance by following these tips:
If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be con-
nected to a hot water supply, for fur-
ther economies.
Although all stages of the wash then
take place with hot water, savings are
made in:
– the use of primary energy
– costs
– programme running time.
If, however, your water is heated by
electricity we would still 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.
The “Top Solo” function should only
be selected for washing very small
loads of crockery (see “Additional op-
tions”).
Select the Economy 45ºC pro-
gramme for energy-saving dishwash-
ing.
Use the correct amounts of deter-
gent.
Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if
baskets are only half full.
Caring for the environment
10
Before using for the first time
Before using the machine for
the first time you require:
– approx. 1 litre of water,
– approx. 1.2 kg dishwasher reactiva-
tion salt,
– domestic dishwasher detergent,
– rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
machine from this test. It is not an in-
dication that the machine has been
previously used.
Before using for the first time
11
To open the door
Press the release catch inside the
door grip and pull forward.
If the door is opened during operation
all functions are automatically inter-
rupted.
To close the door
Push the baskets right in. Lift the
door and push until it clicks into posi-
tion.
Child safety lock
The yellow key for the child safety
lock is on one of the spikes at the
front of the upper basket.
Remove the key before switching
on the dishwasher and keep it in a
safe place away from the dish-
washer.
If you wish to prevent children opening
the dishwasher door during operation
use the key provided to turn the lock to
the required setting.
Horizontal setting:
The door is locked.
Vertical setting:
The door can be opened.
Before using for the first time
12
Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning re-
sults, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in
the build-up of calcium deposits on
crockery and in the dishwasher. Hence
if mains water hardness is above 4 °d
(0.7 mmol/l), the water should be soft-
ened. This takes place automatically in
the integrated water softener.
– The water softener must be filled
with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
– The water softener must be set to
correspond to the water hardness in
your area.
– Your local water authority will be
able to advise you of the water hard-
ness level in your area.
If the hardness of your local supply is
constantly lower than 4 °d (= 0.7 mmol/l),
you do
not need to add dishwasher
salt. The water softener must, however,
still be programmed to correspond to
the water hardness level in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 8 - 17 °d (1.4 - 3.1
mmol/l),
always set the machine to the higher
value (17 °d in this example).
In the case of a fault, it will help the
service technician if you know the hard-
ness of your local water supply.
Enter the water hardness below:

Important. Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for
the
first time, you must fill it with ap-
prox. 1 litre of water to enable the
salt to dissolve. Once the dish-
washer has been used, there is al-
ways sufficient water in the reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent always causes serious
damage to the water softener. Make
sure that you have picked up the
right packet of dishwasher salt be-
fore filling the salt reservoir.
Please only use special coarse
grained dishwasher salt for reactiva-
tion, as other salts may contain inso-
luble additives which can impair the
functioning of the softener.
Remove the lower basket and un-
screw the salt reservoir cap.
Fill the reservoir with approx. 1 litre
of water.
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
salt. The salt reservoir holds approx.
1.2 kg of salt depending on the
brand used.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced
water will overflow.
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then
screw the cap on again firmly.
Run the Pre-wash programme imme-
diately to remove any traces of salt
water from the cabinet.

Salt indicator
The salt indicator light comes on to not-
ify you that the reservoir is empty.
The reservoir should then be refilled
with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
( See: Filling the salt reservoir)
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically reacti-
vated 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.
Note
If the water in your area is very soft
(below 4 °d / 0.7 mmol) you do not
need to add salt to the reservoir. The
salt indicator light, however, will still
come on. It should be ignored.
(See “After sales service” for definition
of “PC”).

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on
crockery during the drying phase.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is dis-
pensed automatically.
Make sure you have added rinse aid
before using the dishwasher for the first
time.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent always causes
serious damage to the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
domestic dishwashers into the reser-
voir.
Alternatively it is possible to use
– Household vinegar with a max. 5%
acid content
Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence
25% acid). This must
not be used
as its use would damage the dish-
washer.
or
– Liquid citric acid up to 50% acid con-
tent. The resulting rinsing and drying
quality will not, however, be as good
as when rinse aid is used.
Adding rinse aid
Press the button in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
Before using for the first time

Add rinse aid only until it is visible on
the surface of the filter in the open-
ing.
The rinse aid reservoir holds ap-
prox. 130 ml.
Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water would
enter the rinse aid reservoir during a
programme.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occuring dur-
ing the next programme.
Rinse aid indicator
The Rinse aid indicator light on the fas-
cia comes on when the rinse aid reser-
voir needs to be replenished.
When the light comes on the reservoir
still contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3
programmes.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
