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.

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.

Caring for the environment
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.
If the dishwasher is connected to hot
^
water, select "Energy Saver" when
washing light to normally soiled
dishware. The water will not be
heated, therefore the dishes may be
more wet at the end of this program
than when using other programs.
^ Make full use of the baskets without
overloading for the most economical
washing.
^
Use the correct amount of detergent
and rinse aid.
^
When using powder or gel detergent
reduce the amount to
washing a small load.
^
Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
^
For small loads select "Short".

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 sets automatically to
the local water hardness.
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 "Insufficient salt" message will
turn off automatically.
Checking the water hardness
The water hardness measured by the
sensor can be displayed.
See "Settings J - Water hardness".
External water softener
If the dishwasher is connected to an
external water softener unit which is
regenerated with salt, the water
hadness must still be set in the
dishwasher.
Set the dishwasher to the water
^
hardness of the external water
softener. If you don't know the value,
set the dishwasher water hardness to
8°d (8 gr/gal [US]). See Settings J,
External water softener.
For best results use salt when using
3 in 1 tabs (these tabs contain
detergent, rinse aid and water
softener salt). When selecting the
"3 in 1" detergent setting, the salt
dosage is reduced to
14
1
/3to1/4.
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.
When opening the salt container,
water will run out. Open the
container 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.
Before using for the first time
Press the button in the direction of
^
the arrow until the flap springs open.
^
To fill the salt, open the door and hold
it at an angle, so that the salt
container can be completely filled.

15
Before using for the first time
Salt refill message
Carefully fill with salt until water runs
^
out. The salt container holds approx.
2.2 lbs (1 kg) of salt.
Do not fill with more than 2.2 lb
(1 kg) salt.
As it is filled, water will run out.
^ Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the container opening.
Close the lid firmly.
^

immediately, run the "Short" program.
This will remove any traces of salt
from inside the wash cabinet.

has finished.
Confirm with
^
OK.
The message will clear from the display.
After the container has been filled, the
water softener is automatically
reactivated the next time the
dishwasher is started. The
message will show again during
salt
this process. Confirm again with

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
,
detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
residential dishwashers into the
reservoir.
When using "2 in 1" or "3 in 1"

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.
Loading the dishwasher
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.

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.

wash cabinet prevents food from being
redeposited on dishes. It also protects
the circulation pump from damage
caused by foreign objects (e.g. broken
glass, bones, etc.).
The machine must not be used
,
without all the filters in place!
Check and clean the filter system every
4-6 months or whenever a foreign
object is trapped. The level of soiling
and time it takes before the filters need
cleaning will vary depending on
household.

Plumbing
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.
– To use the "Energy Saver" program, a
hot water connection of minimum
115°F / 45°C and maximum 140°F /
60°C (water intake temperature) is
necessary.
The higher the water intake
temperature, the better the cleaning
and drying results.
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).
Water pressure: Must be between
–
4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).
If the water pressure is lower, the
display shows
see "Frequently asked questions".
Water intake
–
The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.
(1.5m) long. A 5 ft. (1.5m) extension
hose is available from the Technical
Service Parts Department at the
phone number listed on the back of
this manual.
76
,
Do not cut the intake hose. It
contains electrical wiring. If the hose
is cut, the dishwasher will not work.
There will be a water leak and you
could be injured. If the hose is too
long, coil it neatly and place it
behind the machine.
Plumbing
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.
