IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
The dishwasher must be installed
and connected in compliance with
the installation instructions.
Installation and repair work should
be performed by a Miele
authorized service technician. Work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous and may void the warranty.
Do not install or use a damaged
dishwasher. A damaged appliance
is dangerous. Unplug the machine and
call your Miele dealer or the Miele
Technical Service Department.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely
and kept out of the reach of children.
Danger of suffocation!
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as recreational
vehicles or aircraft. However, under
certain conditions it may be possible for
an installation in these applications.
Please contact the nearest Miele dealer
or the Miele Technical Service
Department with specific requirements.
It is recommended that the
dishwasher only be connected to
the mains with the plug (no
hard-wiring). The outlet must be
accessible at all times after installation
to disconnect the dishwasher.
, WARNING - Fire hazard
Do not cover or crush the plug of
the appliance. Ensure that the cabinet
opening for the dishwasher provides
ample space for the plug. Installing the
dishwasher in a tight space may crimp
the power cord or put pressure on the
plug which could cause overheating.
This dishwasher should only be
installed under a continuous
counter top secured to adjacent
cabinetry.
Do not install this dishwasher
beneath a cooking surface, oven or
any appliance that radiates heat.
High temperatures from these units may
damage the dishwasher.
When installing the dishwasher
under a counter top and removing
the toekick, a build-under toekick must
be installed. Use the respective
installation kit. Danger of injuries.
Do not cut the intake hose or
submerge it in liquid. This hose
contains electrical components that
could cause injury or property damage
if cut or submerged.
Only connect the dishwasher to the
mains when all installation and

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in, on or near
the dishwasher.
Only use the dishwasher if all
panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper
with the controls.
Do not damage, sit or stand on the
door or baskets of the dishwasher.
Close the door when not in use.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot
water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water
system has not been used for such a
period, turn on all hot water faucets and
let water flow from each for several
minutes before using the dishwasher.
This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
Only use detergents and rinse aids
recommended for residential
dishwashers. Keep all detergents and
rinse aids out of the reach of children.
Do not inhale or swallow
detergents. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant and corrosive
ingredients. They can cause burning in
the mouth and throat if swallowed, or
inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor
immediately if detergent has been
swallowed or inhaled.
Do not drink water from the
dishwasher! Harmful residues
could be present.
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir or
salt container with detergent. It will
destroy the rinse aid compartment and
water softener.
If the power cord is damaged it
must only be replaced by a Miele
Service technician with a genuine Miele
power cord.
Be sure that all items placed in the
dishwasher are "dishwasher safe".
For items not labeled, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
When loading tableware, place
sharp items away from the door to
prevent damage to the seal. Load
sharp items pointing downwards to
prevent injuries.

Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in the use of water and
electricity. For best results follow these
tips:
For lowest energy consumption and
^
the gentlest washing of china and
crystal, connect the dishwasher to a
cold water source.
For fastest possible wash times, yet
^
higher energy consumption, connect
the dishwasher to a hot water source.
Make full use of the baskets without
^
overloading for the most economical
washing.
^ Use the correct amount of detergent
and rinse aid.
Caring for the environment
^ When using powder or gel detergent,
reduce the amount to
normal amount when washing a small
load.
^ Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.

Before using for the first time
Water softener
Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water
remaining in the machine is from the
final factory test and does not
indicate that the machine has been
used.
To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs soft water. Hard
water results in calcium deposits on
dishware and in the dishwasher.
If your tap water hardness is above 4°d
(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be
softened. This takes place
automatically in the unit’s integrated
water softener.
The water softener is set automatically
to the local water hardness.
The water softener is designed for a
water hardness of up to 70 °d.
If the hardness of your local supply
is constantly lower than 4 °d (4 gr/gal
[US]), you do not need to add water
softener salt. The salt indicator
turns off automatically.
Checking the water hardness
Once the dishwasher has been
installed and connected, run the
"Rinse + Hold" program. After the
program has finished, the water
hardness measured by the sensor can
be displayed.
This value is displayed in °d and may
fluctuate depending on the water
quality.
Turn the dishwasher off s.
^
Press the "Start/Stop" button and at
^
the same time turn the dishwasher on
s. Hold the "Start/Stop" button until
the "Start/Stop" indicator comes on.
If it does not come on, start over.
^ Press the "Delay Start" button 6 times.
The "Delay Start" indicator flashes
6 times in intervals.
The measured water hardness is
displayed in °d and is shown in the time
display as the number after the p.
^
Turn the dishwasher off s.

Before using for the first time
Filling the salt container
Inadvertently filling the salt
,
container with dishwashing
detergent will damage the water
softener.
Only use water softener salt
,
specially formulated for
dishwashers. Other salts may
contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
Remove the lower basket and
^
unscrew the salt container lid.
When opening the salt container,
water will run out. Open the reservoir
only to refill salt.
Important: The salt container must
be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water
before adding salt for the first
time. Water does not have to be
added with subsequent refills.
Place the provided funnel over the
^
salt container. Carefully fill with salt.
The salt container holds approx.
4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it is filled,
water will run out.
^ Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the reservoir opening.
Screw the lid on firmly.
^ If the dishwasher will not be used
immediately, run the "Short" program.
This will remove any traces of salt
from inside the wash cabinet.

Before using for the first time
Rinse aid
Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on
dishes and glassware.
The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir
and the set amount will be
automatically dosed.
Filling the rinse aid reservoir with

panel will light when the rinse aid
reservoir needs refilling.
If the "2 in 1" function is selected, the
rinse aid indicator will not light, see
"Additional functions - Detergent
settings".

Loading the dishwasher
Do not wash items soiled with
,
ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in
the dishwasher.
Ash and sand do not dissolve and
will be distributed throughout the
inside of the dishwasher.
Wax, grease and paint will cause
permanent discoloration and
damage to the dishwasher.
Scrape food from dishes before
^
placing them in the dishwasher,
rinsing is not necessary.
^ Some foods contain natural dyes,
e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items
may discolor permanently if they
come in contact with food dyes.
^ All items can be placed anywhere in
the baskets.
^ Load dishes so that water can reach
all surfaces. Do not place dishes or
cutlery inside other pieces.
The spray arms must not be blocked
^
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets. Check
clearance by manually rotating the
spray arms.
Place very small items in the cutlery
^
tray or basket so they do not fall to
the bottom of the wash cabinet.
Food residue and spilled liquids
^
should be cleaned from the sides of
the dishwasher door. These are
outside of the wash cabinet and are
not cleaned by water from the spray
arms.
^
Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
^
Hollow items such as cups and
glasses should be placed upside
down in the baskets.
^
To ensure good water coverage,
tall, narrow and hollow items,
i.e. vases or champagne glasses,
should be placed in the center of the
basket rather than in the corners.
^
Concave based items such as mugs
or bowls, should be placed at an
angle so that water does not pool.

Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated into the intake
hose attached to the dishwasher’s shut
off valve. If your water is hard or the
pipes contain sediment, this filter may
clog and prevent enough water from
entering the wash cabinet.
The plastic housing of the water
,
connection contains electrical
wiring. Do not submerge the
housing in liquid.
Do not cut the intake hose or
submerge it in liquid.
Carefully remove the rubber seal.
^
Installing an in-line water filter
If your water contains a large number of
insoluble substances, a filter between
the water valve and the intake hose
connection is recommended. These
filters can be purchased from Miele.
Cleaning the filter
^ Turn off the dishwasher and pull the
plug.
^
Turn off the water supply.
^

Connection to the water supply
Do not drink water from the
,
dishwasher!
The dishwasher can heat its own
–
water to the temperature required by
the wash program. This allows for
connection of the machine to either a
hot or cold water source. For lowest
energy consumption connect the
dishwasher to a cold water source.
For fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot
water source. All programs use hot
water in the rinse cycles.
– The inlet hose is approx. 5 ft. (1.5 m)
long. A 5 ft (1.5 m) flexible metal
hose (pressure resistant up to
2030 psi) is available.
– The water inlet hose comes
equipped with a 3/4" female hose
thread connector. This can be
directly connected to a water supply
with 3/4" MHT (male hose thread
ends).
Do not cut the intake hose. It
,
contains electrical wiring. If the hose
is cut, the dishwasher will not work.
There will be a waterleak and you
could be injured. If the hose is too
long, coil it neatly and place it
behind the machine.
–
Water pressure: Must be between
4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).

Drainage
The machine comes equipped with a
–
built-in non-return valve on the
discharge side to prevent waste
water from flowing back into the
dishwasher.
The dishwasher is equipped with a
–
5 ft (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an
internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).
Drain hose extensions and adapters
–
can be ordered from Miele.
The maximum drain hose length is
13 ft. (4 m), max. drain height: 39"
(1 m).
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the
supplied hose clip.
– The hose can be installed to the left
or right side.
– The existing drain pipe for the drain
hose is designed for various hose
diameters. The drain pipe must be
shortened if the drain pipe extends
too far into the drain hose. The drain
hose could get clogged.
–
The drain hose must not be
shortened.
–
Make sure the hose is installed
without kinking, pressure or being
pulled.
Venting the drainage system
If the dishwasher drain hose is
connected to a floor drain or to a drain
pipe that is less than 8" (20 cm) above
the floor, the drain must be vented.
Otherwise the water inside the
dishwasher may siphon out during the
wash program.
Open the dishwasher door and
^
remove the lower basket.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly
^
upwards to remove.
^
Cut off the vent cap located at the
