Warning and safety instructions
Warning and safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use can however lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions
carefully before starting to use this
machine. This way you will avoid
the risk of accidents, and damage
to the machine. Keep these instructions in a safe place for reference,
and pass them on to any future user.
Appropriate usage
This dishwasher is intended exclu-
sively for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery in a domestic household. Do not use for purposes other
than those for which it was designed.
Any other applications may be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for any damage
caused by improper use or uses other
than those for which the appliance is
intended.
The following notes are to help avoid
personal injury
To ensure stability this dishwasher
must only be built into a tall unit. It
must not be set up as a freestanding
machine.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement is tested and where
there is any doubt the electrical system
in the house is checked out by a quali-
fied electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage
caused by the lack or inadequacy of
an effective earthing system, (electric
shock for example).
For safety reasons do not operate
this appliance on an extension
cable. Danger of overheating.
A damaged appliance is dangerous.
Switch off at the mains and call the
Service Department for assistance.
Repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent
engineers to ensure safety. Repairs by
unqualified persons could be dangerous.
The plastic housing of the water
inlet connection contains an electrical component. It must not be dipped

Warning and safety instructions
Dishwasher detergents contain irri-
tant or corrosive ingredients. They
can cause burning in the mouth and
throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.
Keep children away from detergents
and from the dishwasher when the
door is open. There could be detergent residues in the appliance.
To avoid the danger of children
coming into contact with the dishwasher detergent: Only put it into the
detergent dispenser
the programme, and then secure the
door with the child safety lock.
For models with "Delay Start" option
make sure the detergent dispenser is
dry before putting in detergent. Wipe
dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if
poured into a damp dispenser and may
not be thoroughly dispensed. If the
door is open at the end of a programme, children may come into contact with this residue.
Water in the dishwasher must not
be used as drinking water.
Appliances with a cutlery basket
(depending on model): items of
cutlery are cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the
handles downwards. You may however,
prefer to place cutlery with sharp
points with the handles upwards.
Always disconnect the appliance
from the electrical supply for maintenance work (switch off at wall socket
and remove plug, screw out fuse in
countries where this is applicable).
just before starting
The following notes should help to
avoid material damage
The voltage and frequency shown
on the data plate must match the
mains supply in the house.
Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers. Do not use
washing-up liquid.
Do not use commercial or indus-
trial detergents as these may damage material and there is a risk of
severe chemical reaction.
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-
voir with dishwasher detergent always leads to serious damage to the
water softener.
Make sure that you have picked
up the right packet of dishwasher
salt before filling the salt reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with powder or liquid
detergent always leads to serious damage to the reservoir. Only use rinse aid
formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Do not sit or lean on the opened
door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged.
Plastic items which cannot with-
stand being washed in hot water,
e.g. disposable plastic containers, or
plastic cutlery should not be cleaned in
the dishwasher. The high temperatures
could cause the material to distort.

Warning and safety instructions
The Miele Waterproof System of-
fers protection from water damage,
provided the following conditions are
met:
– the dishwasher is correctly installed
and plumbed in
– the dishwasher is properly main-
tained and parts are replaced where
it can be seen that this is necessary
– the stopcock has been turned off
when the machine is not used for a
longer period of time (e.g. during
holidays).
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 which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
Disposal of your old machine
When disposing of an old dish-
washer first make it unusable. Disconnect, cut off the cable and the plug
from the cable.
Make the door lock inoperative, so that
children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the safe disposal of the appliance.
The manufacturer can not be held
responsible for any damage caused
by non-observance of the Warning
and Safety instructions.
Dishwashers with visible heating
elements
For appliances with the heating
element in the wash cabinet do not
touch the element during or directly
after the end of a programme, you
could burn yourself.
Some plastic items could melt or
catch fire if they were to come into
contact with the heating element. Therefore always place plastic items or any
other items which may not be completely
heat resistant in the upper basket and ensure they cannot drop through. Any
items which are too small to be lodged
securely in the upper basket should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher.

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.
Caring for the environment
Energy saving washing
These dishwashers are exceptionally efficient in their use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your
appliance by following these tips:
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old machine
Old machines contain materials which
can be re-cycled. Please contact your
local authorities or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes, before disposing of the appliance.
Ensure that the machine presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. See the appropriate section in the Warning and Safety instructions.
If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply, for further economies.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity we would still recommend
connection to cold water.
In the UNIVERSAL 55° programme,
depending on the capacity of the
dishwasher, when connected to hot
water at 55°C up to 0.7 kWh of electrical energy is saved. The hot water
provides this energy, and the approx. 0.13 l oil or 0.14 m
needed to heat the water might be
considerably more cost effective.
Although all stages of the wash then
take place with hot water, savings
are made in cost, time and energy.
Make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher for most
economical washing.
Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
3
natural gas
If baskets are only half full use the
ECONOMY programme.
Use the correct dosages of detergent.

Before using for the first time please
note the following points:
See the relevant chapters for detailed
information on the points below.
Load the crockery correctly
Load the crockery so that water will
come into contact with all surfaces.
This ensures that they will be properly
cleaned.
Setting the water softener
The water softener unit must be set to
deal with the water hardness level in
your area.
The salt reservoir must also
filled with water and then with dishwasher salt. Never fill with dishwasher
powder detergent.
Filling the salt reservoir with detergent by mistake will cause serious
damage to the water softener.
Please check every time before refilling that the package contains
dishwasher salt.
Add rinse aid
Only use rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent, or
washing up liquid, will cause serious
damage to the reservoir.
Do not use washing up liquid
Only use detergent formulated for domestic dishwashers.
first be
The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall for the basket or which hang through. If necessary
manually rotate the spray arms to test.
Add the correct amount of detergent
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on how much detergent to use. Not using enough will lead
to poor wash results. The amount to dispense will depend on the type of detergent and programme selected.
Read the notes on dosage given in the
programme chart.
Cleaning results may vary from brand
to brand. If you are not satisfied with
the results from one brand try another
quality brand before contacting the
Customer Service department for advice.
It is important to choose the correct
programme
The UNIVERSAL programmes are
ideally suited to everyday loads. See
the programme chart for descriptions
of other programmes.

Water softener
Water softener
It is not necessary to reactivate with
salt if the degree of hardness in the
local supply is permanently under
70 mg/l, (0.7 mmol/l, or 4 °d German
scale).
Your local water supplier will advise
you on the water hardness of your area.
Above 70 mg/l (0.7 mmol/l, or 4 °d German scale) water must be softened.
This is to avoid the build-up of calcium
deposits on crockery and cutlery, and
in the dishwasher, and also to increase
the effectiveness of the detergent.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water
the built-in water softener must be:
1. correctly set and
2. the salt reservoir must be filled with
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
The dishwasher is set at the factory to
operate to a hardness level of
400 - 630 mg/l (4.0 - 6.3 mmol/l, or 22 35 °d German scale).

If your water is harder or softer than
this the factory setting will need to
be adjusted.

Use a coin or screwdriver to adjust
the water hardness level selector in
the wash cabinet. There is a click as
each setting is reached.
Example:
The water hardness level is 320 mg/l.
The water hardness level selector must
be set to setting 2, 270 - 380 mg/l
(15 - 21 °d German scale).

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.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of
salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with dishwasher detergent always
causes serious

Salt indicator
When the salt reservoir is empty the
“Salt” indicator light comes on. The
reservoir should be refilled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Note
With very soft water, i.e. constantly at a
level below 70 mg/l (4 °d), the reservoir
does not have to be filled with salt and
although the salt light does come on,
this can be disregarded.

Adding rinse aid
Setting the dosage
Add rinse aid only until it is visible on
the surface of the filter in the opening.
Close the flap firmly.
The flap must audibly engage, otherwise water could get into the rinse
aid storage container during the programme.
Mop up any split rinse aid. This prevents over-forming occuring during
the next programme.
The flap should normally remain
closed. Only open it for adding more
rinse aid!
Wait until the ”Rinse aid” indicator on
the control panel lights up before adding more rinse aid.
The dosage adjuster (see arrow) in the
opening has settings from 1 to 6. It is
set to 3 at the factory, as the recommended dose.This setting dispenses
approx. 3 ml rinse aid per programme.
If there are flecks on glasses after
drying use a higher setting.
If smearing appears on crockery use
a lower setting.

Note
Load the crockery so that water will
come into contact with all surfaces.
This ensures that they will be
properly cleaned.
Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be
concealed.
Hollow items e.g. cups, glasses etc.
must be inverted in the basket.
Deep based items should be placed
at an angle such that water runs off
them freely.
Tall narrow hollow pieces should be
placed in the centre of the basket,
rather than in the corners, to ensure
good coverage of water.
Small pieces should be placed on the
cup racks. Cups should be on the
lower rack and bowls on the top rack
so that water reaches all pieces.
Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ket-
chup. Plastic items in the dish-
washer may discolour if large quan-
tities of these foodstuffs find their
way into the appliance on the croc-
kery.
The stability of the plastic items is
not affected by this discolouration.
The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall for the
basket or which hang through .
If necessary manually rotate the
arms to test.

Spoon inserts for cutlery basket
Use the inserts supplied when washing
heavily soiled spoons, e.g. tablespoons
and serving spoons.
The inserts separate the spoons to
allow a space between them, for the
water jets to reach the entire surface.
Place the spoons into the inserts with
the handles facing downwards. Only
use alternate slots.
When needed place one insert at the
front and one at the back of the cutlery basket.
Removing the inserts:
Press the catches (which are already
clicked in) inwards (if necessary use
a spoon handle) and pull the inserts
upwards and out.
20
Page 21
Dishwasher with cutlery tray
(SC models):
For best results cutlery should be
grouped in zones, one for knives, one
for forks, one for spoons etc. This
makes unloading much easier.
The upper spray arm must not be
blocked by items which are too big,
e.g. cake slices.
Loading the dishwasher
Spoon heads should be placed in such
a way that water runs off them freely.
The cutlery tray insert is removable
(depending on model).
Cutlery with round or oval handles
should be placed with the heads in the
grips as this prevents them slipping.
Ensure that spoon heads are in contact
with at least one of the grips in the cutlery tray. This way they cannot collect
water.

inner cabinet.
– Increased etching in the form of a
bluish sheen on the surface of glassware.
– Discolouration of silverware.
Appearances of this nature are
generally caused by the detergent
used and are not attributable to any
malfunctioning of the dishwasher itself.

Preventive measures:
1. If you wish to continue using the new
chlorine and phosphate-free pro-
ducts, the following is recommended:
– Set the water hardness selector one
setting higher than recommended in
the “Water softener” chapter, if the
water hardness is at the top of the
scale (except with setting 6).
Example:
above 610 mg/l (34 °d ) set the
water hardness selector to setting 4.
– Try out an environmentally friendly
detergent of the same type from an-
other manufacturer.
2. If you are still dissatisfied with the re-
sults, we recommend the use of
chlorine-free but not phosphate-free
detergent.
– Set the water softener and dispense
detergent according to instructions
given in this instruction booklet.
3. If results are still not to your satisfaction, you should revert back to using
conventional
both chlorine and phosphate.
– Set the water softener and dispense
detergent according to instructions
given in this instruction booklet.
Should you experience difficulties when
using these types of products, please
contact the detergent manufacturer’s
own Advisory Service.

Adding detergent
Dishwasher detergent must be added
before each programme (except COLD
PRE-WASH).
– Pour powder or liquid detergent into
the dispenser.
– Dishwasher detergent tablets can be
put at various places in the wash
cabinet, (follow the manufacturer’s
advice on the packet).
Detergent manufacturers give the required amount of detergent in ml (or g)
on the packaging.
For UNIVERSAL programmes use at
least 30 ml (or g) detergent unless advised to use more by the manufacturer,
then use what they advise.
The amount to dispense will depend on
the type of load and the programme selected.
See the programme chart on the next
pages for advice on amounts to dispense.
If you buy detergent in bulk please
ensure that the container is always
properly sealed after use. Otherwise
the detergent can lose its effectiveness.

Switching on and off
Switching on
Close the door
Open the stopcock (if it is closed).
Turn the Programme (sequence indicator) selector switch in a clockwise
direction to the “start point” (a click)
of the required programme, e.g.
UNIVERSAL PLUS.
If you turn the selector past the
“start point” by mistake:
Turn the temperature selector switch
to “0-Off”.
Turn the programme selector switch
in a clockwise direction to the required start point.
Re-set the temperature with the temperature selector switch.
Programme change
It is possible to change temperature
within a programme, e.g. UNIVERSAL 55 ° to UNIVERSAL 65 °.
If changing a programme, e.g.
UNIVERSAL PLUS to UNIVERSAL it
is advisable to first turn the dishwasher off.
Switching off
On completion of a programme:
Turn the temperature selector to
“0-Off”.
Then turn the Temperature selector
switch to the required temperature
e.g. “65 °”.
The programme cycle begins.
32
If the dishwasher is not to be used for a
longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday:
Turn off the stopcock.
Page 33
Switching on and off
Programme sequence indication
During the programme the programme
selector switch moves around the dial
to show which stage has been reached:
– Pre-wash (not shown)
– Wash cycle
– Interim rinse
– Final rinse
– Drying phase
The programme selector switch re-
mains stationary during the warm-up
phases of the wash and rinse cycle
until the required temperature has been
reached.
Note!
Do not finish a programme prematurely.
Important programme stages (e.g. reactivating the water softener) could be
omitted.
A programme is complete only when
the programme selector switch is at the
“End” position.
Programme interruption
A programme is interrupted as soon as
the door is opened.
If the door is closed again the programme will continue from the position
it was at when it was interrupted.
Warning
Water in the dishwasher may be
hot. Danger of scalding!
Only open the door if absolutely
necessary and exercise caution
when doing so.
Before closing the door leave it ajar
for approx. 20 secs. This will enable the temperature in the wash
cabinet to settle. Close the door
firmly making sure that it clicks into
place.
The dishwasher can be opened and
crockery unloaded. If it is left closed,
the fan will continue for a few more
minutes to diminish any remaining moisture.
This is recommended if the crockery is
not required immediately. This process
is extra to the wash programme.
The COLD PRE-WASH programme is
complete only when the programme selector switch stops just before the start
point of the “UNIVERSAL PLUS” programme.
33
Page 34
Removing load
Removing load
Hot crockery will chip and break
more easily.
After switching off let it cool down in
the dishwasher until it is comfortable
enough to handle, before you unload
it.
If you open the door fully after switching off, the crockery will cool down
much faster.
First unload the lower basket, then
the upper basket and then the cutlery tray (if you have one) at the very
end.
This way you avoid water droplets
from the upper basket or the cutlery
tray falling on to crockery in the bottom basket.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can lodge in the spray
arm jets.
The spray arms should be inspected
and cleaned regularly (approx. every 6
months).
To do this remove the spray arms as follows.
Cleaning and care
Dishwashers with cutlery basket:
Unscrew the upper spray arm.
Dishwashers with cutlery tray:
Pull out the cutlery tray.
Lift up the upper spray arm to en-
gage the tooth-wheel mechanism
and then unscrew the spray arm.
Lift up the middle spray arm b to engage the tooth-wheel mechanism.
Then unscrew the spray arm
Remove the lower basket and take
out the
lower spray arm.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If 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 splinters,
which could cause injury.
Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet.
Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out
of the wash cabinet.
Lift up the non-return valve and rinse
under running water.
Raise the locking clamp.
38
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
Before replacing the non-return valve
check that the drain pump impeller
turns with only slight resistance, and
that there is no obstruction.
Carefully replace the non-return
valve and secure with the locking
clamp.
Replace and secure the filter combination.
Page 39
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filter in the water
inlet
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.
Fitting an in-line water filter
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.
These filters can be obtained from the
Miele Spares Department (Part No.:
75577).
Cleaning and care
To clean the filter
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply (switch off at the main
socket and pull out the plug, switch
off the appropriate circuit at the fusebox or withdraw the mains fuse).
Turn off the stopcock and unscrew
the inlet hose.
Carefully remove the rubber seal.
Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and clean by rinsing under running water.
Replace filter and seal. Make sure
they are sitting correctly!
Screw back into place on the water
inlet, taking care that it goes back on
straight.
Turn on the stopcock gradually to
test for leaks.
If there is a leak:
Screw the connections on more
tightly.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the wash cabinet
In general the wash cabinet is selfcleaning, provided that the correct
amount of dishwasher detergent is
used.
If however there are lime scale or
grease deposits these can be removed
with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner.
Cleaning the door and the
door seal
Wipe the door seal regularly with a
damp cloth and remove any particles of food.
Wipe away any residue of food and
drink spillage from the sides of the
dishwasher door. These are not part
of the wash cabinet and are not
reached by water from the spray
arms.
The facia panel
This should only be wiped with a
damp cloth, or a suitable plastic
cleaner.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner, a
glass cleaner or an all-purpose
cleaner. Because of their chemical
composition they could cause
serious damage to plastic surfaces.
The front of the dishwasher
Clean using a suitable proprietary
cleaning agent.
Do not use any cleaner containing
ammonia or thinners.
40
Page 41
Checking the water level
Checking the water level
If the water pressure (flow rate at the
take-off point) is too low, i.e. less than
1,0 bar, too little water will flow into the
wash cabinet.
To ensure an accurate assessment
open the stopcock fully and run the
PRE-WASH programme once (without crockery) to bring water into the
system.
Run the PRE-WASH programme
again. After approx. 3 minutes open
the door and remove the bottom basket from the machine.
Checking the water level
The water level is correct when dimension “X” is at least 4 mm.
If it measures less, then the water intake time must be increased.
41
Page 42
Checking the water level
Increasing the water intake
time
Position the right hand switch vertically and then pull it off.
Using a 4-5 mm wide screwdriver
turn the adjuster mechanism to the
right hand side of the spindle
carefully in an anti-clockwise direction until it checks into position.
= Anti-clockwise turn (increases
water intake – 2 min.)
= Clockwise turn (factory
setting – 1 min.)
Note:
If the water intake time has been increased, then the water hardness selector must be reset at one grade higher
than that stated in chapter “Water softener” (except with setting 6).

For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD)
with a trip current of 30 mA.
The voltage, rated load and fuse
rating are given on the data plate.
Please ensure that these match the
household mains supply.

Non rewireable pl ugs BS 136 3
If this machine or appliance is fitted
with a non-rewireable plug, the following information applies:
If the socket outlets are not suitable for
the plug supplied with this product, it
must be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted.
The plug cut from the flexible cord
should be disposed of and on no account be inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be refitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse
cover is lost, the plug must not be used
until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured
insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words in the
base of the plug (as applicable to the
design of plug fitted).
The correct fuse rating of the replacement fuses that are ASTA approved to
BS 1362 should be fitted. Replacement fuse covers may be purchased
from your local electrical suppliers, or
Miele Service Agent.
(The German standard version is supplied with a cable and moulded plug
for connection to a 230 V single phase
supply. It must only be connected via
a fused 16 A socket).

Normally connection to water is sited
near the dishwasher, for example in the
area under the sink. A Miele sink base
unit already has a suitable cut-out for installation. If the base unit and plinth
have no cut-out, one must be made,
suggested dimensions: 60 x 110 mm.
The same applies to the wall unit in
which this dishwasher is to be installed.
Plumbing
Important:
For the leak protection feature of the
“Waterproof system” to work, the water
connection must be sited at least
350 mm higher than the base board on
which this dishwasher is installed.
If this is not possible, the inlet hose can
be laid in a bend or loop. The highest
point of this bend or loop must be at
least 350 mm above the base board.
When the inlet hose is laid in a bend or
loop, however, the “Waterproof system”
will not provide protection from water
damage, should any leakage occur in
the “waterproof valve” box.
Site conditions may vary. Please consult the Miele Customer and Technical
Services department for further advice.

Connection to the water inlet
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.
Connection to a hot water supply
would save energy costs and time.
When connected to a hot water supply all programme stages which
would otherwise be carried out with
cold water (pre-wash and interim
rinse) as well as the COLD PREWASH will be carried out with hot
water.
The inlet hose is approx. 4.5 m long.
A stopcock with a 3/4" male thread
must be provided on site.
The dishwasher is constructed to
comply with DVGW regulations, and
may be connected to a suitable supply without an extra non-return valve
provided that national regulations
allow this.
The water inlet hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way
(see illustration).
Connect the inlet hose with the
“Waterproof-System” preferably vertically so that the hose exits from the
bottom of the “waterproof valve” box
(use an angle connector if necessary).
The water pressure (flow rate at the
take-off point) must be between 1.0
and 10 bar pressure.
If the water pressure is too low the
water intake time must be increased
(see chapter “Checking the water
level”).
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be fitted.

If this is not possible, it can be installed horizontally, but it is essen-
tial that the main body of the “Waterproof valve” box is above the hose
exit (see illustration). The “lightning”
power symbol should be above the
water flow “arrow”.
If the stopcock is situated in the
worktop, a special angle connector
can be ordered from the Miele Spare
Patrs Dept. (Part No. 2078910).

Drainage
The machine drainage system is
fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the machine 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 and an
extra drain hose, (up to max. 4
metres).
The connection socket on the dishwasher can be turned. The hose can
thus be laid to the right or left without
needing to loosen the hose clip.
Use the two hose clips supplied to fit
the drain hose to the dishwasher and
to the on-site drainage system.
The on-site water pipe connection
for the drain hose may be designed
to fit more than one diameter of
hose. The connection socket must
be shortened if it juts too far into the
drain hose. Otherwise the drain hose
can become blocked.
Venting the drainage system
Open the dishwasher door fully.
If the 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 machine to
empty itself of water.
To vent:
Cut off the top of the vent valve in
the wash cabinet.
The drain system must not exceed
4 metres. The drain pump has a
maximum delivery head of 1 metre.
The drain hose must not be shortened.
