Warning and Safety instructions

Delivery

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 for future reference, and pass them on to any future user.

Correct usage

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.

Transport

house, note the following: –

Empty the dishwasher,

–

Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses, mains cable, cutlery baskets, lower basket

damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance could be dangerous.

Installation

the installation plan.

via a suitable switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time. (See "Electrical connection").

Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.

dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.

Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible

Please ensure that the packaging material is offered for recycling.

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with

The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply

There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher.

In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated

–

Transport the dishwasher in the upright position only.

Page 9

Warning and Safety instructions

The dishwasher must not be

installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob 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.

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.

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 used

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

dangerous. Switch off at the mains and call your Miele supplier or the Miele Service Department.

The plastic housing of the water

connection contains an electrical component. The housing must therefore 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.

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Use

Do not use solvents in the

dishwasher. Danger of explosion.

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher

detergent! Dishwasher detergents 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.

Page 10

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 dispensed. Do not use liquid detergent when selecting Delay start, as it can run into the dishwasher before it is required.

Safety with children

This appliance is not a toy! To

avoid the risk of injury do not allow children to play in or around the dishwasher, or to operate it. There is also a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

Keep children away from

detergents. Dishwasher detergents 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

To avoid damage to the appliance and other materials

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir

with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.

Inadvertently filling the salt

reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always leads to serious damage to the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!

Do not use commercial or industrial

detergents as these may damage material and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.

The Miele 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 stopcock 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.

In countries where there are 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 caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Repairs and maintenance

Repairs may only be carried out by

suitably qualified and competent technicians in accordance with current 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 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.

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.

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 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. However, because the water is not heated in this programme, drying results may not match those of other programmes.

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.

Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on detergent dosage.

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

Page 16

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

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 "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 amount if the "3 in 1" detergent type is selected.

/4and1/3of the normal

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 J, External softener").

Page 17

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. The

"Insufficient salt" indicator light will come on the first time you switch the dishwasher on. It will go out automatically once the sensor has detected that the water is softer than

0.7 mmol/l.

Inadvertently filling the salt

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.

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.

Lift up the funnel.

Page 18

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

Page 19

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.

Page 20

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, 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 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.

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.

–

Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

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 foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup. 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.

–

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.

Page 22

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.

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 rubbing 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.

Only use detergents formulated

for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing up liquid.

You can use conventional powder

detergent, tablets or liquid dishwasher detergent. Refer to the dosing instructions given by the manufacturer on the packaging.

Put the detergent into the dispenser

compartment.

^ Do not use tablet detergent on the

"Quick" programme, as the tablets will not dissolve properly.

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

Operation

Avoid inhalation of powder

detergents and do not ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents 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).

To prevent the risk of steam

damage to the worktop edging above the dishwasher, it is advisable to leave the door closed until you are ready to unload the crockery. Alternatively you can open the door fully until the crockery is cool enough to unload. Do not leave the door only partially open.

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 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

A programme 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.

Switching off

At the end of a programme:

Open the door.

Switch the dishwasher off using the Off button o.

The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until the Off button o is switched off.

If the dishwasher is not to be used for a longer period of time, e. g. whilst on holiday, the stopcock should be turned off.

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 close the door firmly making sure that it clicks into place.

Cleaning and care

Check your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

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, such as the Miele dishwasher cleaner (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department).

Cleaning the door and the door seal

^ Wipe the door seals regularly with a

damp cloth to remove food deposits.

^ 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. Any soiling should be wiped off these surfaces before the door is closed.

Cleaning the reflector panel

The reflector panel for the In-operation indicator light is situated in the coverplate underneath the worktop.

It can be taken out of its plastic holder to be cleaned.

Open the door and carefully remove

the reflector panel from the holder. The reflector panel and its plastic

holder should only be wiped with a damp cloth or a suitable cleaning agent designed for use on plastic.

^ Replace the reflector panel in its

holder.

Do not use abrasive cleaning

agents, glass cleaning agents or all-purpose cleaners. Because of their chemical composition, they could cause serious damage to surfaces.

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals.

Page 43

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the control panel

Do not use abrasive cleaning

agents, glass cleaning agents or all-purpose cleaners. Because of their chemical composition, they could cause serious damage to surfaces.

This should only be wiped with a

damp cloth.

Cleaning the door front

Do not use any cleaning agents

containing ammonia or thinners. These would damage the surface structure.

Clean the front using a Miele E-Cloth

or with a suitable cleaning agent for the type of material the front is made of. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Door fronts made from wood should

only be cleaned using a damp cloth, and then dried with a soft cloth.

^ Door fronts made of stainless steel

should be cleaned using a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid, or a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.

^ To help prevent re-soiling, a

proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel, such as Neoblank (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department) can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label and apply sparingly with an even pressure following the direction of the grain.

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.

The 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.

Page 57

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

Problem solving

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

Cleaning the filter:

^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the

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

Turn off the stopcock.

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

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

Turn on the stopcock 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.

Page 58

Problem solving

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. Watch out for glass or bone splinters which could cause injury.

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.

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

Ensure that the catch engages.

Plumbing

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 wa ter.

– The "Without heater" programme (if

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

– 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.

–

A stopcock with a 3/4 " male thread must be provided on site.

–

This appliance is constructed to comply with IEC/EN/DIN 61770 // VDE 0700 Section 600, and may be connected to a suitable supply without an extra non-return valve if national regulations permit.

! The inlet hose must not be

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

Page 67

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.

– 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.

–

The drain hose must not be shortened.

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.

–

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