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

installed 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

suitably qualified and competent technicians in accordance with 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 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.

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.

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:

^ 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.

If it is advantageous, your household water system can be connected to a suitable hot water supply (e.g.solar panels). Select "Without heater" when washing lightly to normally soiled dishes. Please note that the rinse wa ter in this programme will not be heated and therefore drying results may not match those of other programmes.

Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on detergent dosage.

When using powder or liquid detergent you can use 1/3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.

Before using for the first time

To open the door

^ Press the release catch inside the

door grip and pull forward.

If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted.

To close the door

^ Push the baskets right in.

Child safety lock

Before using for the first time

Before using the appliance for the first time you require:

approx. 1 kg dishwasher reactivation

–

salt, domestic dishwasher detergent,

–

rinse aid formulated for domestic

–

dishwashers.

This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener sensor which automatically sets the water softener unit for the local water hardness level.

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 previously used.

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 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 1/4 and 1/3 of the normal amount if the "3 in 1" Detergent type is selected.

Before using for the first time

You can check the water hardness level measured by the water softener sensor in the display (see "Settings menu J, Water hardness").

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, even if the "Insufficient salt" message is displayed. The "Insufficient salt" message will go out automatically if this is the case.

Inadvertently filling the salt

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.

When filling the salt reservoir only

open the door half-way to ensure that all the salt gets into the reservoir.

^ 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.

Before using for the first time

Do not fill the salt reservoir with water.

"Insufficient salt" message

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher

salt for reactivation when the

Insufficient salt message appears.

(If it appears during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).

^ 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.

Confirm with

The "Insufficient salt" message will go out.

After the salt reservoir has been filled, the "Insufficient salt" message may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. If this is the case, confirm again with

OK.

,After filling the salt reservoir, run

the Quick wash programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.

Run the Quick wash programme im mediately (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.

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid low message

When the Rinse aid low message appears, 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" Tab function has been selected, the "Rinse aid low" message will not appear (see "Settings menu J, Tab type").

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.

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results (see "Settings menu J, Rinse aid").

Confirm with

The

Rinse aid low message will go out.

OK.

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 it is properly cleaned.

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 food may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolour if large quantities of these foods find their way into the appliance on the dishes. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration.

–

Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

–

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.

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. Food residues should therefore be wiped away before the dishwasher door is closed.

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.
