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 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.
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 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.

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).

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.
~ 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.
~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.
~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.

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 immediately 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.

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 Normal programme for energy-saving dishwashing.
^If your household water system is suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply.
Select Without heater when
washing lightly to normally soiled dishes.
The water will not be heated in this programme. However, because the water is not heated, 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.
14
Before using for the first time
To open the door
At the end of the programme, the door will open automatically a little in order to help the drying process.
This function can be deactivated (see Settings menu, Drying plus).
^Press the release catch inside the door grip to open the door.
If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted.
,Keep the area around the door free of obstructions.
To close the door
^Push the baskets right in.
^Then raise the door upwards until the catch engages.

Finally, two prompts come up in the display.
After confirming these messages, the Rinse aid low and Insufficient salt messages may then appear in the display to remind you to fill the rinse aid and salt reservoirs. See relevant sections on how to do this. After you have confirmed these messages with OK, the display will change to show the main menu.
You can now select a programme and start it, or switch the dishwasher off.
17
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 !, External water softener").
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 Combination tabs
function reduces salt consumption to between 1/4 and 1/3 of the normal amount. (See Settings menu J, Detergent type).
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.
^When filling the salt reservoir only open the door halfway to ensure that all the salt gets into the reservoir.
,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.
^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. |
19
Before using for the first time
Do not fill the reservoir with water.
^ 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.
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.
Insufficient salt indication
^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).
^ 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 immediately (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.
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.
Adding rinse aid
^Press the button on the lid of the salt reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
21
Before using for the first time
^Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
110ml.
^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).
Rinse aid indicator
,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 Combi tab function has been selected, the Rinse aid low message will not appear (see Settings menu !, Detergent type).
^ Confirm with OK.
The message Rinse aid low goes out.

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.
–Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g. champagne glasses, should be placed in the centre of the basket to ensure better water coverage.
–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.
23
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 can melt or lose shape.
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
–Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items may discolour or become matt. Silverware previously cleaned with a
–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.
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 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.
