IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING –

When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before installation or use of the dishwasher to prevent injury and machine damage.

Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose. This appliance is intended for residential use only.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.

Electrical Safety

Before installation, make sure that

the voltage and frequency listed on the data plate correspond with the household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent injury and machine damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Before installation or service,

disconnect the power supply to the work area by unplugging the unit, "tripping" the circuit breaker or removing the fuse.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect this appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.

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 toe-kick, a build-under toe-kick 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 plumbing work is complete.

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.

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.

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.

This model offers a Drying Plus

feature, i.e. the door will automatically open, without an audible signal first being given, at the end of the program releasing warm air from the dishwasher. Use caution, the air may be hot!

This model offers an AutoClose

feature, i.e. the door will automatically shut once close enough to engage the catch.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 you

may 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.

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.

Caring for the environment

Use the correct amount of detergent and rinse aid. Detergent dosage is dependent upon the amount of soiling and type of dishware being washed. See the "Program Guide" for more information.

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 "Express".

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.

– The water softener must be filled with

dishwasher salt for reactivation. If using "Tab" products which include salt, you should still add salt to the machine to achieve optimal cleaning results.

– Your local water authority will be able

to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

Checking the water hardness

The water hardness level set can be viewed under the submenu "Water hardness". See "Settings J - Water hardness".

If necessary, reset the hardness to

that of your local water supply, see "Settings J - External water softener".

External water softener

If the dishwasher is connected to an external water softener unit which is regenerated with salt, the water hardness must be set in the dishwasher.

^ Set the dishwasher to the water

hardness of the external water softener. See "Settings J - External water softener".

–

The dishwasher must be programmed to correspond to the water hardness in your area.

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.

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 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.

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 container opening. Screw the lid on firmly.

^ If the dishwasher will not be used

immediately, run the "Express" program (without the "Turbo" function). This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.

Salt refill message

When the display shows Insufficient salt, refill the salt after the program 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 Insufficient salt message will show again during this process. Confirm again with OK.

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

detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.

When using "Tab" detergents, a rinse aid is not needed.

Before using for the first time

Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir

until it is visible on the surface of the screen.

Adding rinse aid

Press the button in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.

3.7 oz (110 ml).

^ Press on the flap until you hear it

click shut. Failure to close it all the way allows water to enter the reservoir during the wash program.

^ Clean any spilled rinse aid. The flap

will remain closed during normal operation.

To optimize the wash result, the rinse aid dosage can be adjusted. See "Settings J - Rinse aid".

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid refill message

When the Insufficient rinse aid message first comes on, there will be enough rinse aid left for2-3washes.

Refill rinse aid after the program has

finished.

If the "Tab" function is selected, the Insufficient rinse aid message will not come on. See "Settings J Detergent".

Confirm with OK.

The Insufficient rinse aid message will clear from the display.

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.

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.

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.
