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
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.
–
Transport the dishwasher in the upright position only.

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 immediate ly if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

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.

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.

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
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.
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.
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.
^
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 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.
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.
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.

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 amount if the "3 in 1" function is selected.
1
/4and1/3of the normal
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!
16
,
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.
Page 17
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.
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 immedi ately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.

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.
Adding rinse aid
^ Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.
,
Do not use vinegar with a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar essence 25% acid). This would damage the dishwasher.
If you only ever use "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" products in your dishwasher you do not need to add rinse aid.
18
Page 19
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 would enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme.
^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.
Before using for the first time
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").

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.
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.
–
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.
21
Page 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. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to 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 rubbing 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.

Operation
Detergent
Only use detergents formulated
,
for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing up liquid.
You can use conventional powder
^
detergent, tablets or liquid dishwasher detergent. Refer to the dosing instructions given by the manufacturer on the packaging.
Put powder or liquid detergent into
^
the dispenser compartment.
^ Detergent tablets should only be put
into compartment II if this is recommended by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer recommends placing tablets in the cutlery basket, do not do so. Instead place them on the inside of the door or directly into the wash cabinet to help them dissolve properly.
Avoid inhalation of powder
,
detergents and do not 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. 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).
^ Do not use tablet detergent on the
"Quick" programme, as the tablets will not dissolve properly.
Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.

Operation
Display
The duration of the programme selected appears in hours and minutes in the display before the programme begins. During the programme, the time left until the end of the programme is displayed.
The time displayed may vary with the same programme. This is partly because of the water inlet temperature at each intake, and partly because of the amount and soiling level of the crockery.
When a programme is selected for the first time, the display shows an average time for a cold water intake.
The times shown in the programme chart refer to standard test loads and temperatures.
Each time a programme is run, the electronic unit takes the new conditions into account, and calculates the time required.
Programme sequence indicators
After a programme has been started the current stage of the programme is indicated by the programme sequence indicator lights.
At the end of a programme
0 appears in the display when the programme has finished.
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.

Operation
Switching off
At the end of a programme:
Switch the dishwasher off with the
^
On/Off button s.
The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until the On/Off button s is switched off.
If the dishwasher is not to be used for a longer period of time, e. g. whilst on holiday, the stopcock should be turned off.
Unloading the dishwasher
Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.
If you open the door fully after switching off, the dishes will cool much faster.
^
First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket and 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.
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.

Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.
If, however, there are limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner, such as the Miele dishwasher cleaner (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department).
Cleaning the door and the door seal
^ Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
^ When the dishwasher is being
loaded, food and drink residue 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 and care
Cleaning the door front
Do not use any cleaning agents
,
containing ammonia or thinners. These would damage the surface structure.
Clean the front using a Miele E-cloth
^
or with suitable cleaning agent for the
type of material the front is made of.
Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Door fronts made from wood should
^
only be cleaned using a damp cloth,
and then dried with a soft cloth. ^ Door fronts made of stainless steel
should be cleaned using a damp
cloth and a little washing up liquid, or
a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use
on stainless steel. ^ To help prevent re-soiling, a
proprietary conditioning agent for
stainless steel, such as Neoblank
(available from the Miele UK Spare
Parts Department) can also be used.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions
on the label and apply sparingly with
an even pressure following the
direction of the grain.
E-Cloth
^
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals.
43

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the control panel
Do not use abrasive cleaning
,
agents, glass cleaning agents or all-purpose cleaners. Because of their chemical composition they could cause serious damage to surfaces.
Plastic panels:
This type of control panel should only
^
be wiped with a damp cloth or suitable cleaning agent designed for use on plastic.
Stainless steel panels: ^ Control panels made of stainless
steel should be cleaned using a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid, or a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel (do not use it on the controls).
Stainless steel and aluminium
,
surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratching and abrasion, and must be treated with due care. They may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Remove soiling immediately.
^ To help prevent re-soiling, a
proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel, such as Neoblank (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department) can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label and apply sparingly with an even pressure following the direction of the grain.
Aluminium panels:
^
Clean aluminium panels with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from.

Cleaning and care
Checking 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.
The 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.
You should check the filters regularly. This dishwasher has a "Check filter" indicator light which comes on after every 40 programme cycles as a reminder to check the filters in the wash cabinet.
^ Check the filter combination
whenever the "Check filter" indicator light comes on, and clean if necessary.
Cleaning the filters
Switch the dishwasher off.
^
^ Turn the handle anti-clockwise to
release the filter combination a. ^ Lift the filter combination out of the
dishwasher b. Remove any coarse
particles and rinse the filter well
under running water. Use a nylon
brush if necessary.
The "Check filter" indicator light will go out when the dishwasher is switched off.
45
Page 46
Cleaning and care
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened:
^ Press together the catches in the
direction of the arrows a 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 to
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.
46
Page 47
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 arm 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.

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 number of insoluble substances, we recommend fitting a large-area filter in the connection between the stopcock and the water inlet hose threaded union. This filter is available from the Miele Spares Parts dept.
Cleaning the filter:
^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug.
^
Turn off the stopcock.
^
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
stopcock, making sure it goes on correctly and is not cross-threaded.
^
Turn on the stopcock 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.
56
Page 57
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. Watch out for glass or bone splinters which could cause injury.
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.
Problem solving
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 injury). Turn the drain pump impeller by hand to check that there are no more obstructions. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.
^
Press the catch for the non-return valve inwards a.
^
Lift out the non-return valve b and rinse well under running water.
^
Remove all foreign objects from the non-return valve.
^
Carefully replace the non-return valve, and secure it with the catch.
,
Ensure that the catch engages.

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.
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
A 1.5 metre long flexible metal extension hose, pressure tested to 14000 kPa/ 140 bar, is available as an optional accessory if required.
– A stopcock with a 3/4 " male thread
must be provided on site.
Plumbing
!The inlet hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way as it contains electrical components (see illustration).
– This appliance is constructed to
comply with IEC/EN/DIN 61770 // VDE 0700 Section 600, and may be connected to a suitable supply without an extra non-return valve if national regulations permit.
–

63
Page 64
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.
– The hose can be directed to the left
or the right of the appliance.
– The on-site connector for the drain
hose can be adapted to different widths of hose. If the connector protrudes too far into the drain hose, it will need to be shortened. Otherwise the drain hose may become blocked.
–
The drain hose must not be shortened.
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.
–
Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose, and that it is not squashed or stretched.
