Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

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 dishwasher is not intended for

~

use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they
are supervised whilst using it or they
have been given instruction concerning
its use by a person responsible for their
safety.

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 a
danger that children playing might shut
themselves in the dishwasher.

Older children may only use the

~

dishwasher when 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 in
the mouth, nose and throat if
swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep
children away from the dishwasher
when the door is open. There could still
be detergent residues in the cabinet.
Consult a doctor immediately if your
child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.

8

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 has been 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 cooktop. The high
radiant temperatures which are
sometimes generated by a cooktop
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).

Do not connect the appliance to the

~

mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).

9

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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.

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 tap 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 appliance could be

~

dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, switch it off at the mains and
call your Miele Chartered Agent or the
Miele Customer Contact Centre.

Unauthorised repairs could result in

~

unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be

~

replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.

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 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.

10

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.

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.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir

~

with powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent will damage the water
softener. Make sure you have bought
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 (see "Filling
the salt reservoir").

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.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

~

and accessories with this appliance. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.

Disposal of your old
dishwasher

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.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The packing material protects the dryer
from transport damages. The transport
and protective packing has been
selected from materials which are
environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.

The packaging consists of the following
materials:

Outer packaging:

Corrugated cardboard made from up

–

to 100% recyclable material:
or: Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap

– Polyproplylene (PP) strapping

Inner packaging:

– Chlorine and fluorine free expanded

polystyrene (EPS)

– Base, lid frame and support battens

made from untreated natural wood
from renewable forests

–

Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap

Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic machines
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.
Therefore, please do not dispose of it
with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre or contact you dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for

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.

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.

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 this is, then
set the value at 1.4 mmol/l (8 °d) (see
"Settings menu
softener").

!, External water

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 and to ensure that the water
softener continues to function
correctly.
Selecting the
function reduces salt consumption
to between
amount. (See Settings menu J,
Detergent type).

Combination tabs

/4and1/3of the normal

18

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
Water hardness).

If the water hardness in your area is
constantly lower than 4 °d (= 0.7
mmol/l) you do not need to add
salt. The salt refill indicator will be
deactivated automatically.

Inadvertently filling the salt

,

reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.

Miele recommends using

,

specially designed dishwasher salt
to maximize the performance of your
dishwasher and to prevent build-up
of calcium and limescale in the
dishwasher cabinet, especially if you
live in hard water area.
Dishwasher salt can be purchased
online at www.miele-shop.com
(depending on country) or via the
Miele Spare Parts Department.

!,

^

Insufficient salt indication

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher

^

salt for reactivation when the

Insufficient salt message appears.

(If it appears during a programme,

or until water runs out of the opening.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 1 kg
of salt.

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.

^

After filling 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.

Confirm with

^

OK.

The "Replenish 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.

The salt indicator is deactivated when
the dishwasher registers a water
hardness level below 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d).

,

After filling the salt reservoir, run

the

Quick wash programme immedi-

ately (without any crockery in the
dishwasher, and without selecting
the

Turbo extra option) to remove

any traces of salt from the cabinet.

20

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 will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
domestic dishwashers into the
reservoir. Otherwise you will cause
serious damage to the reservoir.

Alternatively, it is possible to use

– household vinegar with a max. 5%

acid content

or

– liquid citric acid up to 10% acid

content.

Adding rinse aid

^ Press the button on the lid of the salt

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 combination
products containing rinse aid in your
dishwasher, you do not need to add
rinse aid.

21

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid indicator

When the Rinse aid low

,

message appears, the reservoir
contains sufficient rinse aid for2-3
programmes only.

Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

^

If the 2 in 1 or Combi tab function has
been selected, the
message will not appear (see
Settings menu

!, Detergent 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 can 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
Rinse aid).

Confirm with

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.
These materials will 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.

–

Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the
basket.

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
tomato sauce. 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.

–

Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.

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 can 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. It may need to be rubbed dry

Adjusting the upper basket

In order to gain more space for taller
pieces of crockery in the bottom or
upper basket, the upper basket can be
adjusted on three levels with 2 cm
between each level.

The upper basket can also be set at an
angle with one side high and the other
side low. This can be useful to help
prevent water collecting in deep dishes
etc. Ensure, however, that the basket
can be inserted smoothly into the
cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket
before loading it.

Operation

Detergent

Only use detergents formulated

,

for domestic dishwashers. Do not
use washing-up liquid.

Miele branded dishwasher cleaning
products are available from the Miele
Spare Parts Department or via the
internet at www.miele-shop.com.

Active ingredients

Modern detergents contain various
active ingredients, the most important
of which are:

– Phosphates to prevent calcification.

– Alkalis to aid removal of dried on

soiling.

– Enzymes to break down starch and

loosen protein.

– Oxygen based bleaching agents to

remove coloured stains (e.g. tea,
coffee, tomato sauce).

Most dishwasher detergents contain
phosphate and are mildly alkaline with
enzymes and oxygen based bleaching
agents. Phosphate free products are
rare.

Types of detergent:

–

Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the amount of load and level of
soiling.

A variety of combination products is
also available (see "Settings
Detergent type").
In addition to detergent, combi tabs
contain rinse aid and salt substitutes.
Combi tabs are available as "3 in 1" or
when they also contain other
components such as glass and
stainless steel protective additives and
enhanced cleaning power, as "4 in 1",
"5 in 1" etc.
Refer to the manufacturer's packaging as
to whether the combi tabs are suitable for
the water hardness level in your area.
Please note that the cleaning and
drying results of tab detergents can
vary greatly.

For optimum cleaning and drying
results use Miele dishwasher
detergent and add Miele salt and
Miele rinse aid separately.

Under certain circumstances
unsatisfactory washing and drying
results might be noticed when using
combination dishwasher detergents.
These products contain a combination
of detergent and rinse aid or detergent
and salt (2 in 1) or detergent, rinse aid
and salt (3 in 1). Drying results might
not be as good as expected or
residues or flecks might be left on
crockery. If results are still
unsatisfactory, even after seeking
advice from the detergent
manufacturer, we suggest that you
change to a different product or use a
traditional dishwasher detergent.

!,

–

Tab detergents. These are suitable
for most levels of soiling.

33

Operation

Dispensing

^ Follow the dosage recommended by

the manufacturer on the packaging.

^ Unless directed otherwise, use one

detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml in
compartment II, depending on the
level of soiling.
With very heavy soiling you can also
add a small amount of detergent to
compartment l (see "Programme
chart").

Do not use tabs with the

^

programme, as they will not dissolve
properly.

Failure to dispense the
recommended amount of detergent
may impair cleaning results.

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 immedi­ately 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).

The duration of the programme
selected appears in hours and minutes
in the 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, the reactivation cycle 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.

Operation

Programme finished

If the message

^

or Drying plus comes up in the
display, and the door has opened
slightly, this indicates that the
programme has finished.

You can now empty the dishwasher.

If you have deselected the auto

,

matic door opening function (see
Settings menu, Drying plus), but
would still like to open the door at
the end of the programme, then
make sure that you open the door
fully. Otherwise steam from the
dishwasher could damage the edge
of the worktop because the fan is no
longer running.

Programme finished

Switching off

At the end of a programme:

^ Switch the dishwasher off using the

K sensor.

The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until it is switched off with
the K sensor.

If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e. g.
whilst on holiday, the tap 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 finally the 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.

Interrupting a programme

Operation is interrupted as soon as the
door is opened.
If 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 raise the
door upwards until the catch
engages.

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
water from the spray arms. Any
soiling should be wiped off these
surfaces before the door is closed.

Cleaning the door front

Remove any soiling immediately.

,

If not, it might become impossible to
remove and could cause the outer
surface to alter or discolour.

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.

^ Clean the front using a damp cloth or

a sponge and a solution of hot water
and washing-up liquid. Then dry with
a soft cloth.

^ To avoid damaging the outer

surface, do not use:

– cleaning agents containing soda,

ammonia, acids or chlorides,

–

cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,

–

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners,

–

solvent-based cleaning agents,

–

stainless steel cleaning agents,

–

–

oven sprays,

–

glass cleaning agents,

–

hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,

–

sharp metal scrapers.

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.

This 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.

^ The message

appear in the display after every 40
programme cycles (factory default
setting).

You can set the interval for this
message to appear to between 30
and 60 programme cycles (see
"Settings menu

Check filters will

!, Check filters").

Cleaning the filters

Switch the dishwasher off.

^

^ Turn the handle anti-clockwise to

release the filter combination a.

^ Take the filter combination out b,

remove any coarse particles and
rinse the filter well under running
water. Use a nylon brush if
necessary.

^

Check the filter combination.

^

Clean it, if necessary.

^

Then confirm the message with

The display will change to show the
programme selection menu.

44

OK.

Cleaning and care

To clean the inside of the filter, the flap
must be opened:

^ Press catches a together 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 until

both arrows point towards each
other. The filter combination is locked
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.

45

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

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

Maintenance

If the mains water contains a large
amount of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the tap and the
water inlet hose threaded union. This
filter is available from the Miele Spares
Parts Department.

Cleaning the filter:

^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the

mains supply. Switch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.

^

Close the tap.

^

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 tap,

making sure it goes on correctly and
is not cross-threaded.

^

Turn on the tap 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.

57

Maintenance

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.

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.

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.

58

^

Carefully replace the non-return valve
and secure it with the catch.

,

Ensure that the catch engages

correctly.

WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE EARTHED

Plumbing

The Miele waterproof anti-leak
system

Providing your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele waterproof
anti-leak system will protect you from
water damage throughout its lifetime.

Connection to the water supply

Water in the dishwasher must

,

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.

,

A warm water connection with
temperatures exceeding 60 °C may
cause damage to the unit, impair
wash results and affect the product
guarantee.

A tap with a 3/4 " male thread must

–

be provided on site.

The dishwasher is constructed to

–

comply with Australian regulations,
and may be connected to a suitable
supply without an extra non-return
valve if national regulations allow
this.

The water pressure (flow pressure at

–

the take-off point) must be between
30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message

fault

will appear in the display (see
"Problem solving guide").
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be
fitted.

,

To avoid any damage to the
appliance, the dishwasher must only
be connected to a fully vented
plumbing system.

Water inlet

–

–

Without heater programme (if

The
available) requires a hot water
supply of between 45 °C (minimum)
and 60 °C (maximum).
The higher the water intake
temperature, the better the cleaning
and drying results.

The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
A 1.5 metre long flexible metal
extension hose, pressure tested to
14000 kPa/ 140 bar, is available as
an optional accessory if required.

71

Plumbing

! The inlet hose must not be

shortened or damaged in any way
as it contains electrical components
(see illustration).

This appliance incorporates back
flow protection complying with
AS/NZS 3500.1.2. No further
backflow protection required for
connection to the water supply.

72

Plumbing

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.

,

Make sure that there are no
kinks in the hose, and that it is not
squashed or stretched.
