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.

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.

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.

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.

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 disposal. You can also contact your Chartered Agent for advice.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person.

To enable sorting by type of plastic for recycling, all plastic parts of the appliance are labelled with international standard symbols.

Caring for the environment

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-saving dishwashing.

^ If your household water system is

suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply. Select 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.

Normal programme for

Without heater when

Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations on detergent dosage.

When using powder or liquid detergent you can use

/3less

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

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.

When filling the salt reservoir only

open the door halfway 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 reservoir with water.

Add salt only until the reservoir is full

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).

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.

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

– 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.

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

Rinse aid low

!, 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

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.

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. champagne glasses, should be placed in the centre of the basket to ensure better water coverage.

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.

– 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 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.
