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 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
detergents. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant and corrosive
ingredients which can cause burning

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.
8
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.

13
Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
Approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt*,
–
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
button g.
Keep the programme selector button
pressed in for at least four seconds
until the lower right hand programme
indicator comes on.
If this does not happen, start the
procedure from the beginning again.
^
Press the Turbo/Combi tabs button
six times.
14
The Turbo/Combi tabs indicator will
flash six times briefly at intervals.
The number after the p in the display is

chart).
^
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
^
to select the value which
corresponds to your water hardness
level.
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 Off
^
button o.
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 Turbo/Combi tabs 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
at the factory.
If spots appear on crockery and

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 they get properly cleaned.
–
Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
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.
–
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.
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 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.

The cutlery tray inserts are removable.
For example, you can remove one
insert to make room for larger items of
crockery in the upper basket.
30
Cutlery basket (depending on model)
^ To avoid the risk of injury, knives and
forks should be placed with the
handles upwards in the basket.
However, cutlery placed handle
down in the basket will come out
cleaner and drier.
^ Place small spoons in the individual
slots to either side of the cutlery
basket.
Loading the dishwasher
Fit it into the cutlery basket if
^
required.
Cutlery insert for the cutlery basket
Use the insert supplied for heavily
soiled spoons.
The insert separates the items so that
they can be more easily accessed by
water.
^
Insert cutlery with the handles facing
downwards, and distribute them
evenly along the insert.
31
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 the detergent into the dispenser
^
compartment.
^ Do not use tablet detergent with the
"Quick" programme, as the tablets
will not dissolve properly.
Failure to dispense the
recommended amount of detergent
may impair cleaning results.
In the UK, Miele branded dishwasher
powder and tabs are available from
the Miele Spare Parts Department or
via the internet on www.miele.co.uk.
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 immedi
ately 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).

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.
For information
Compartment I holds max. 10 ml,
Compartment II holds max. 50 ml.
There are markings in compartment II
to assist with dispensing: 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.
^
Make sure that the detergent
packaging is properly closed after
use to avoid it getting damp and
becoming lumpy.
33
Operation
Switching on
Open the stopcock, if it is closed.
^
Open the door.
^
Make sure the spray arms are not
^
obstructed.
Switch the dishwasher on using the
^
On button g.
The On indicator g and the indicator for
the last used programme light up.
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 for the programme
selected lights up.
The programme duration will appear in
hours and minutes in the display.
If the Turbo and/or Combi tabs
functions have been selected, the
corresponding indicator(s) will also light
up.
You can now select an additional
function (see Additional functions).
^ Close the door.
The In-operation indicator light comes
on to show that a programme has been
started.
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.
34
Operation
Time display
The duration of the programme
selected appears in hours and minutes
in the Time 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 temperature at
each intake, and partly because of the
amount of crockery and how dirty it is.
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.
At the end of a programme
At the end of a programme, the
In-operation indicator light will be
visible flashing slowly with the door
shut.
0 appears in the Time display.
You can then empty the dishwasher.
The In-operation indicator light will go
out one hour after the end of the
programme.
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.
Glass care indicator
The green Glass care indicator light will
come on when you select a programme
that is suitable for glassware.
35
Operation
Switching off
At the end of a programme:
Open the door.
^
Switch the dishwasher off using the
^
Off button o.
The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until it is switched off with
the Off button o.
If the dishwasher is not going 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.
36
Operation
Interrupting a programme
A programme is interrupted as soon as
the door is opened.
When 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.

Off button o.
Turbo
The Turbo function is used to reduce
the duration of programmes in which
this function is available.
In order to achieve optimum cleaning
results, consumption rates are
increased with this option.
If a full programme is not yet required,
the Turbo function can be used in
conjunction with the Quick wash
programme to rinse off dirty crockery.
Combi tabs
To ensure excellent results you can
programme your dishwasher for the
type of detergent you are using.
The Turbo/Combi tabs button is used
here for selecting between standard
detergents (powder, liquid and 2 in 1
tabs) and combination detergents
(3 in 1 / 4 in 1 tabs etc.).
The programme sequence is then
adapted to suit the type of detergent
selected. Depending on the
programme, the duration can be
considerably longer.
If the Combi tabs indicator does not
light up, the dishwasher is set for standard detergent.
If the Combi tabs indicator lights up,
the programme sequence will be
adapted to suit detergents that contain
rinse aid and salt as well as other
components where applicable.
The rinse aid dispenser and the rinse
aid indicator light are deactivated.
Salt consumption for reactivating the
water softener is reduced to
the normal amount.
Do not select the Combi tabs option if
your water hardness level is above
3.8 mmol/l or 21°d.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's
instructions.

hours or more, it is set in one hour
stages.
When using the Delay start function,
make sure that the detergent
compartment is dry before adding
detergent. Wipe dry with a cloth if
necessary. If the compartment is
wet, powder detergent can become
lumpy and stick to the dispenser,
with the result that it is not fully
dispensed.

Cleaning and care
Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every 4 - 6 months). This
way faults and problems can be
avoided.
*In the UK, Miele branded cleaning
and conditioning products as well as
a microfibre E-cloth which is suitable
for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals
are available from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet
on www.miele.co.uk.
Cleaning the reflector panel
The reflector panel for the In-operation
indicator light is situated in the
coverplate underneath the worktop.
It can be taken out of its plastic holder
to be cleaned.
Open the door and carefully remove
^
the reflector panel from the holder.
The reflector panel and its plastic
^
holder should only be wiped with a
damp cloth or a suitable cleaning
agent designed for use on plastic.
^ Replace the reflector panel in its
holder.
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* or conditioner*.
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 residues may
drip onto the sides of the dishwasher
door.
These surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and are not accessed by wa
ter from the spray arms. Any soiling
should be wiped off these surfaces
before the door is closed.
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.

44
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.
This should only be wiped with a
^
damp cloth.
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 a 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. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
^ To help prevent re-soiling, a
proprietary conditioning agent for
stainless steel* can also be used.
45
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.
46
Cleaning and care
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap
must be opened:
^ Press together the catches a 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 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.
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 arms upwards
a to engage the ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm b.
48
^
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.

There are rust stains
on cutlery.
This may be caused by the
detergent.
The glassware is not
dishwasher-proof. The
surfaces are affected.
The wash temperature of
the selected programme
was too low.
The bleaching effect of the
detergent used is too low.
Natural dyes e.g. from
carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup may be the cause.
The amount of detergent
used or its bleaching effect
was not sufficient to deal
with natural dyes.
The affected items are not
corrosion resistant.

added. Traces of salt have
got into the wash cycle.
Change your detergent.
There is no remedy.
Purchase glassware which
is dishwasher-proof.
Select a programme with a
higher wash temperature.
Change your detergent.
Use more detergent. See
Operation.
Discolouration is irreversible.
There is no remedy.
Purchase cutlery which is
dishwasher-proof.

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
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.
^
Close 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.
58
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.
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
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.

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
14,000 kPa/ 140 bar, is available as
an optional accessory if required.
– A stopcock with a

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.
