Warning and Safety instructions
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 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 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.
Transport
Should you ever need to move the dishwasher, e.g. when moving
house, note the following:
–Empty the dishwasher,
–Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses, mains cable, cutlery baskets, lower basket
–Transport the dishwasher in the upright position only.
Delivery
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.
Please ensure that the packaging material is offered for recycling.
Installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with
the installation plan.
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 is 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.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is
secured to adjacent cabinetry.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
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 the appliance and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is 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).
This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
A damaged appliance could be 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.
Do not connect the appliance 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).
Use
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent! Dishwasher detergents
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.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do not use liquid detergent when selecting Delay start, as it can run into the dishwasher before it is required.
Safety with children
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow
children to play in or around the dishwasher, or to operate it. There is also a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents
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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid damage to the appliance and other materials
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
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!
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,
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 stopcock 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.
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 caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
Repairs and maintenance
Repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent
technicians in accordance with current local and national safety requirements. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Always disconnect the appliance 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.
Disposal of your old appliance
When disposing of an old dishwasher first make it unusable.
Disconnect, cut off the cable and the plug from the cable. Make the door lock inoperative by unscrewing the Torx screw, 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.

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
Electrical and electronic appliances 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. Please do not therefore dispose of your old 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.
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.
^Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on detergent dosage.
^When using powder or liquid detergent you can use 1/3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.

Before using for the first time
External water softening system
If your dishwasher is connected to an external water softening system which uses salt to reactivate, you will still need to programme the dishwasher to the correct water hardness level to achieve good cleaning results.
Set the water softener unit of the dishwasher to the water hardness level of the water which is supplied from the external water softening system. If you do not know what this is, set the dishwasher for 8°d (1.4 mmol/l).
^Switch the dishwasher off with the On/Off button s.
^Press the Start/Stop button in and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button s.
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 Delay start button twice.
The "Delay start" indicator will flash briefly twice at intervals.
The number after the p in the display is the water hardness level in °d (see chart).
^Use the Start/Stop button to select the value which equates to the water hardness level of the water supplied by the external water softening system.
Each press on the button moves you up a level. When the highest water hardness level is reached, the setting starts from the beginning again.
^Switch the dishwasher off with the On/Off button s.
If you disconnect the dishwasher from the external water softening system, set the value to P0.

Before using for the first time
Filling the salt reservoir
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 softener unit.
The softener unit is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70 °d). It requires dishwasher salt.
If you use "3 in 1" tabs in your dishwasher you should still add salt in order to achieve optimum results. The amount of salt used is reduced to between 1/4 and 1/3 of the normal amount if the "3 in 1" function is selected.
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 Salt indicator light will come on the first time you switch the dishwasher on. It will go out automatically once the sensor has detected that the water is softer than 0.7 mmol/l.
Important: Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 litres 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.
16
Before using for the first time
^Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Only open the salt reservoir when you want to fill it with dishwasher salt as water or salt solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed.
^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 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 Quick wash programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.
Salt indicator
^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.
,After filling the salt reservoir, run the Quick wash programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.
17
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 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 would damage the dishwasher.
If you only ever use "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" 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.
18
Before using for the first time
^Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
110ml.
^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.
Rinse aid indicator
When the light comes on the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only.
^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
If the "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" function has been selected, the Rinse aid indicator does not light up (see "Operation - Tab function").
19
Before using for the first time
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 s.
^Press the Start/Stop button in and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button s.
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 Delay start button three times.
The "Delay start" indicator will flash briefly three times at intervals.
p 3 will flash in the display.
This means that the rinse aid dosage has been set at 3 ml at the factory.
The dosage set will show in the display after the p.
^Use the Start/Stop button to select the rinse aid dosage you want.
The dosage amount alters each time you press the button.
The programmed rinse aid dosage is now stored in memory.
^Switch the dishwasher off with the On/Off button s.

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. Ash does not dissolve and is distributed in the wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating grease and paint 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 it is properly cleaned.
–Make sure that all items are securely positioned.
–Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.
–Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g. champagne glasses, should be placed in the centre of the basket to ensure better water coverage.
–Deep 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.
