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 appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Safety with children
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 also a danger
that children playing might shut
themselves in the dishwasher.
Older children may only use the
appliance if 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

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 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.
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).
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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).
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 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.
A damaged dishwasher may be
dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, switch it off at the mains and
call your Miele Dealer or the Miele Ser
vice Department.
Repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent
technicians in strict accordance with
local and national safety requirements.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
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 countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the 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.
-
10
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
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!
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.
Disposal of your old
dishwasher
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, 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.
11
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.
Please ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. 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.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre.
12
^
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.

Domestic dishwasher detergent*,
–
Rinse aid* formulated for domestic
–
dishwashers.
* In the UK, Miele branded products
are available from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet
on www.miele.co.uk.
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.
This dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener sensor which automatically
sets the water softener unit for the
local water hardness level.
To call up the water hardness
level in the display
After your dishwasher has been
through one programme cycle, you can
check the water hardness level
measured by the water softener sensor
in the display.
This is shown in °d - German scale, and
can fluctuate depending on the quality
of the water.
Switch the dishwasher off with the Off
^
button o.
Press the programme selector button
^
in, and whilst holding it in switch
the dishwasher on with the On

^
Switch the dishwasher off with the Off
button o.
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 it is, set the
dishwasher for 8 °d (1.4 mmol/l).
^ Switch the dishwasher off with the Off
button o.
^ Press the programme selector button
in, and whilst holding it in switch
the dishwasher on with the On
button g.
Keep the programme selector button
pressed in for at least four seconds
until the lower right hand programme
indicator comes on.
The number after the p in the display is
the water hardness level in °d.
Use the programme selector button

twice.
The Turbo/Combi tabs indicator light
will flash briefly twice at intervals.
15
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 combination products
which have salt in them in your
dishwasher, such as "3 in 1" or
"4 in 1" products, you should still add
salt in order to achieve optimum
results. Selecting the Combi tabs
option reduces salt consumption to
between
amount.
1
/3and1/4of the normal
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you should still
add salt before using the
dishwasher for the first time. Salt
should only be replenished when the
salt indicator light comes on. In
areas with very soft water this could
be after a long period of time.
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!
,
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
When filling the salt reservoir only
^
open the door halfway to ensure
that all the salt gets into the reservoir.
Before using for the first time
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
water.
^ Press the button on the lid of the salt
reservoir in the direction of the arrow
until the flap springs open.
^
Lift up the funnel.
^ Add salt only until the reservoir is full
or until water runs out of the opening.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 1 kg
of salt, depending on the brand
used.
Do not add any more than 1 kg of
salt.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced
water may overflow.
^
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then close
the flap.
^
Run the Quick wash programme im
mediately (without any crockery in
the dishwasher, and without selecting
the Turbo extra option) to remove any
traces of salt from the cabinet.
-
17
Before using for the first time
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 refilling the salt reservoir,
,
run the Quick wash programme immediately (without any crockery in
the dishwasher, and without
selecting the Turbo extra option) to
remove any traces of salt from the
cabinet.
In the UK, Miele branded dishwasher
salt is available from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet
on www.miele.co.uk.
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.
In the UK, Miele branded rinse aid is
available from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or via the internet on
www.miele.co.uk.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
–
Household vinegar with a max. 5%
acid content
Before using for the first time
If you only ever use combination
products containing rinse aid 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.
or
–
Liquid citric acid up to 10% 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.
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 for 2 - 3
programmes only.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
^
If the Combi tabs function has been
selected, the rinse aid indicator light
will not come on (see "Additional
functions, Turbo/Combi tabs").
^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring
during the next programme.
20
Before using for the first time
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The rinse aid dosage can be set from
approx. 0-6 ml. It is set to a
recommended setting of approx. 3 ml
