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 appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference, and pass them on to any future user.
Correct usage
This dishwasher is intended exclusively for cleaning domestic
crockery and cutlery in a domestic household. Using it for purposes other than those for which it was designed, as well as any alterations or conversions to the machine would be unauthorised and could cause harm. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.
Delivery
Before setting up the machine check it for any externally visible
damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged machine. A damaged machine is dangerous.
Please ensure that the packaging material is offered for recycling.
Installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with
the installation instructions.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher
has been installed.
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.
In order to ensure stability, built-un- der and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radi-
ant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob 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
installed.
Check that the voltage, frequency and fuse rating shown on the data plate match the household mains sup-
ply.

Warning and Safety instructions
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is 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).
This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
A damaged machine is dangerous. Switch off at the mains and call
your Miele supplier or the Miele Service Department.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing must therefore
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.
For safety reasons do not operate this appliance on an extension ca-
ble. (Danger of overheating).
Daily use
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water. This wa-
ter is not drinking water.
Avoid inhalation of powder detergents. Do not ingest dishwasher
detergent! Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They 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.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged and you
could get injured.
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 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. Do
not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.

Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Take care on dishwashers with a visible heater element
(depending on model)
Do not touch the heating element during or directly after the end of a
programme. It will be hot. Danger of burning!
Some plastic items could melt or catch fire if they were to come into
contact with the heating element. Therefore always place plastic items or any other items which may not be completely heat resistant in the upper basket and ensure they cannot drop down onto the heater element.
Any items which are too small to be lodged securely in the upper basket should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Safety with children
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play on or near it, or to play with the controls. There is a danger that children could shut themselves in the dishwasher. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. 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, activating the child safety lock (depending on model). Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.
To ensure children do not come into contact with detergent on
models with the "Delay start" function make sure 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 dispersed. If the door is open at the end of a programme, children may come into contact with this residue.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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 reservoir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent always leads to serious damage to the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may damage
material and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.
The Miele Waterproof System offers protection from water damage, pro-
vided the following conditions are met:
–The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.
–The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where it can be seen that this is necessary.
–The stopcock has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Repairs and maintenance
Repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent
engineers in accordance with local and national safety requirements. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply for main-
tenance work (switch off at wall socket and remove the plug, or remove the screw out fuse in countries where this is applicable).
Disposal of your old appliance
When disposing of an old dishwasher first make it unusable. Dis-
connect, cut off the cable and the plug from the cable. Make the door lock inoperative by unscrewing 2 cross-slotted screws, so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-com- pliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

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.
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!
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances / 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 or machine. Please do not therefore dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and 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. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

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.
Although all stages of the wash then take place with hot water, savings are made in:
-the use of primary energy,
-costs,
-programme running times.
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.
^Select the Economy programme for energy-saving dishwashing.
^Use the correct amounts of detergent.
^Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if baskets are only half full.
^The drying heat can be switched off, shortening the length of the programme and saving energy. The load then dries to a large extent in its own heat (see "Drying heat").
11
Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time you require:
–approx. 1 litre of water,
–approx. 1.2 kg dishwasher reactivation 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 previously used.
12
Before using for the first time
To open the door |
Child safety lock |
^Press the release catch inside the door grip and pull forward.
If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted.
To close the door
^Push the baskets right in, lift the door and push until it clicks into position.
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 dishwasher.
To prevent children opening the dishwasher door during operation, use the key to lock the door:
Horizontal setting:
The door is locked.
Vertical setting:
The door can be opened.
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 must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
–The dishwasher must be programmed to correspond to 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).
In the case 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

16
Before using for the first time
Filling the salt reservoir
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 dishwasher salt. The dishwasher must, however, still be programmed to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.
Important: Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 1 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 always leads to serious damage to the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!
,Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
^Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
^Fill the reservoir with approx. 1 litre of water (first use).
^Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt until the reservoir is full. 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 immediately to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.
17
Before using for the first time
Salt indicator
The salt indicator light comes on to notify 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 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.
Note
If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 0.7 mmol (4 °d) you do not need to add salt to the reservoir. The salt indicator light, however, will still come on, but should be ignored.
(See "After sales service" for definition of "PC").
18
Before using for the first time
Rinse aid |
Adding 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 dispensed automatically.
,Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always causes serious damage to the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
–Household vinegar with a max. 5% acid content
or
–Liquid citric acid up to 50% acid content.
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 must not be used as its use would damage the dishwasher.

Before using for the first time
Rinse aid indicator
The Rinse aid indicator light on the fascia comes on when the rinse aid reservoir needs to be replenished.
^ Add rinse aid only until it is visible on the surface of the filter in the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
130ml.
^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 occurring during the next programme.
When the light comes on the reservoir still contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes.
^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
