Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use can, however, lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance, please
read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They
contain important information on its
safety, use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future owner.

Correct application

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 appliance, would be
unauthorised and could cause harm.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from improper or
incorrect use of the appliance.

This dishwasher is not intended for

~

use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they
are supervised whilst using it or they
have been given instruction concerning
its use by a person responsible for their
safety.

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 irritant 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before setting up the appliance,

~

check it for any externally visible
damage. Under no circumstances
should you use a damaged appliance.
A damaged appliance 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 hob. The high radiant
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 fully
installed.

Before connecting the appliance,

~

check that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and connected
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 by 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 equipment may only be

~

installed in mobile installations such as
ships if a risk assessment of the
installation has been carried out by a
suitably qualified engineer.

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 dishwasher 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 appliance could be

~

dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, switch it off at the mains and
call your Miele Chartered Agent or the
Miele Customer Contact Centre.

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

~

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 guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Correct use

Do not use solvents in the

~

dishwasher. Danger of explosion.

Do not inhale or 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 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. Make sure you have picked
up the correct packet of dishwasher
salt before filling the salt reservoir!

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 appliance. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.

Disposal of your old
dishwasher

Make the door lock inoperative 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-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 dispersed.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The packing material protects the dryer
from transport damages. The transport
and protective packing has been
selected from materials which are
environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.

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

Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.

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 you dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal. You can also contact your
Chartered Agent for advice.

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.

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 Normal programme for

energy-saving dishwashing.

^

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

–

dishwasher salt.
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.

– 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.

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.

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 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
On/Off button K. The procedure can
then be re-started from the beginning
again.

^ Switch the dishwasher off with the

On/Off button K.

^ 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.

^

Press the programme selector button
twice.

The lowest programme indicator
flashes twice briefly at intervals, and the
Wash/Rinse programme sequence
indicator flashes 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 Wash/Rinse

1 - 4 0.2 - 0.7 Once briefly

5 - 7 0.9 - 1.3 Twice briefly

8 - 11 1.4 - 2.0 3 times briefly

12 - 15 2.2 - 2.7 4 times briefly

16 - 20 2.9 - 3.6 5 times briefly

21 - 25 3.8 - 4.5 6 times briefly

26 - 30 4.7 - 5.4 7 times briefly

31 - 36 5.6 - 6.5 8 times briefly

37 - 45 6.7 - 8.1 9 times briefly

46 - 70 8.3 - 12.6 Once for longer

indicator

^ 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 with the
On/Off button K.

15

Before using for the first time

Checking the programmed water

Switch the dishwasher off with the

^

On/Off button K.

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.

Press the programme selector button

^

twice.

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 with the

On/Off button K.

16

Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:

Approx. 1 litres of water,

–

Approx. 1 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. 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 will damage
the water softener.

Miele recommends using

,

specially designed dishwasher salt
to maximize the performance of your
dishwasher and to prevent build-up
of calcium and limescale in the
dishwasher cabinet, especially if you
live in hard water area.
Dishwasher salt can be purchased
online at www.miele.com.au
(depending on country) or via the
Miele Spare Parts Department.

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. 1 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. 1 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 filling 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) to remove any traces
of salt from the cabinet.

18

-

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 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 10% acid

content.

Before using for the first time

If you only ever use combination
products in your dishwasher, you do
not need to add rinse aid.

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.

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. 3 ml
at the factory.

If spots appear on crockery and
glassware:

Increase the rinse aid dosage.

^

If clouding or smearing appears on
crockery and glassware:

^ Decrease the rinse aid dosage.

^ Switch the dishwasher off with the

On/Off button K.

^ 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.

Before using for the first time

Press the programme selector button

^

three times.

The lowest programme indicator will
flash briefly three times at intervals.

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
indicator flashes tells you the rinse aid
dosage which has been set (see chart).

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
ketchup. 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.

23

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.

Hinged cup rack

^ To make room for tall items, raise the

rack upwards.

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.

Small items such as saucers can also
be placed in the lower basket.
Do not place thin, delicate glassware
in the lower basket.

Hinged spikes

Both rows of spikes in the front section
of the basket can be lowered to make
more room for large items, e.g. pots,
pans and dishes.

^ Press the yellow lever downwards a,

and then lower the spikes b.

26

Removable spiked insert

The spiked insert at the back can be
removed to make more room for larger
items such as casserole dishes.

To remove the insert a

^ Pull it upwards by the handle as

shown.

To replace the insert b

Bottle holder (depending on model)

The bottle holder can be used to wash
narrow items, e.g. milk and baby
bottles.

^ Place the bottle holder in the position

shown in the bottom basket. If
placed anywhere else, water will not
be able to access the bottle properly,
and cleaning results will be impaired.

^ Fit the insert into the lower basket

with the hooks going under the long
cross-piece as illustrated.

^

Press down on the handle until the
insert is held securely in position.

27

Loading the dishwasher

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.

If spoon handles do not fit between the
holders, then 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).

28

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 the Miele
Spare Parts Department or via the
Internet, depending on country.

A variety of combination products is also
available (see section "Additional
functions, Combi-tab", depending on
model).
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 in 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"

^

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.

Make sure that the detergent

^

packaging is properly closed after
use to avoid it getting damp and
becoming lumpy.

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.

31

Operation

Switching on

Make sure the spray arms are not

^

obstructed.

Close the door.

^

Open the tap, if it is closed.

^

Switch the dishwasher on with the

^

On/Off button K.

The Start/Stop indicator light flashes
and the indicator light comes on next to
the last programme selected.

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 a programme

Select the programme required with

^

the programme selector button.

The indicator light next to the selected
programme will come on.

Press the Start/Stop button.

^

The programme will begin. The
Start/Stop and the Wash/Rinse indicator
lights and the indicator light next to the
programme selected all light up.

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

At the end of a programme

The End indicator light will come on at
the end of the 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 with the

On/Off button K.

The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until it is switched off with
the On/Off button K.

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 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.

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.

33

Operation

Interrupting a programme

A programme is interrupted as soon as
the door is opened.
If 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 close
the door firmly making sure that it
clicks into place.

Changing a programme

Important:
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.

34

At least one setting has been altered
from the factory default setting.

To reset the dishwasher to the factory

^

default settings, press the Start/Stop
button.

^ Switch the dishwasher off with the

On/Off button K.

35

Cleaning and care

Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every4-6months). 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

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.

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 a proprietary
dishwasher cleaner or conditioner.

Cleaning the door and the door
seal

^

Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.

^ Clean the front using a damp cloth or

a sponge and a solution of hot water
and washing-up liquid. Then dry with
a soft cloth.

^ 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 cleaning agents,

–

dishwasher cleaner,

–

oven sprays,

–

glass cleaning agents,

–

hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,

36

–

sharp metal scrapers.

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.

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. This will lock the filter
combination 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
flows 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 the Miele Spares
Parts Department.

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
bone splinters which are particularly
difficult to detect and could cause

Plumbing

The Miele waterproof anti-leak
system

Providing 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, e.g. a solar powered
supply. 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.

,

A hot water connection with
temperatures exceeding 60 °C may
cause damage to the unit, impair
wash results and affect the product
guarantee.

–

The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long. A

1.5 metre long flexible metal extension
hose, pressure tested to 14,000 kPa/
140 bar, is available as an optional
accessory if required.

–

A tap with a
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.

/4" male thread must be

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.

To avoid any damage to the

,

appliance, the dishwasher must only
be connected to a fully vented
plumbing system.

! The inlet hose must not be

shortened or damaged in any way
as it contains electrical components
(see illustration).

This appliance incorporates back

Plumbing

Drainage

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).

– 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.

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.

^

^

Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.

^

Cut off the top of the vent valve in the
wash cabinet.

–

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.
