Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application

 This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar

environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/ shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.

 This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.  It must only be used as specified in these operating instructions

for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.

 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.  Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has

been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

 Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the

supervision of an adult.

 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with

the appliance. Keep small children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the risk of injury. There is the risk that children may lock themselves in the dishwasher.

 If the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is

active, keep young children away from the area in which the door opens. Danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the opening mechanism.

 Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in

packing material or pull it over their heads with the risk of suffocation. Keep children away from any packing material.

 Keep detergent and other household agents out of the reach of

children at all times. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants and corrosive ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet or dispenser. Check that the dispenser is empty after the completion of a programme. Seek medical advice immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent, e.g. Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ).

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be

dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.

 Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of

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

 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. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

 Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be

assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

 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 is installed so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the

connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply before connecting the dishwasher to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

 Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has

been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door springs.

 The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening

mechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of injury whilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is active. To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:

– the door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They

are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door cannot fall open.

– the door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens

at the end of the drying phase.

 Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a

multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile

installations (e.g. on a ship).

 Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of

frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

 To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only

be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.

 The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical

valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.

Warning and Safety instructions

 There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not 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.

 The water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must

be between 50 and 1000 kPa (0.5 and 10 bar).

 A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets

damaged, switch it off at the mains and call Miele.

 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is

not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare

parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance

must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced

with a special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele authorised service technician only in order to avoid a hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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 warranty.

Correct installation

 The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance

with the installation instructions.

 Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear

protective gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.

 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 Umodel plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused by protruding metal parts.

 The door springs on either side need to be evenly adjusted. They

are correctly adjusted if the half-opened door (approx. 45° door opening angle) remains in this position when it is released. The door must not fall down under its own weight. The appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted door springs.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

 Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!  Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher

detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Seek medical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled, e.g. Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ).

 Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip

over it and be injured by 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.

 Dishes can be very hot at the end of a programme. Allow them to

cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.

 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 a severe explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).

 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 will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 If you use the "FlexiTimer/Delay start" option (depending on

model), 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.

 Please observe the information given in "Technical data" regarding

the capacity of the dishwasher.

Accessories

 Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or

accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

 Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot

accidentally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

The packaging consists of the following materials:

Outer packaging:

– Corrugated cardboard made from up

to 100% recyclable material: or: Polyethylene (PE) shrink 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

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are recycled.

Disposing 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. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.

Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

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

 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.

Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing

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 ECO programme for

energy-saving dishwashing. This programme is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption at cleaning normally soiled crockery.

– 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.

– If your household water system is

suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply for further economies. If the water is heated by solar panels, for example, this would be energy efficient. However, if your water is heated by electricity, we would recommend connection to cold water.

You can find further tips on energysaving dishwashing in "Miele's guide to dishwashing".

Before using for the first time

Opening the door

 To open the door, reach under the

door grip and pull.

If the door is opened during operation, all functions are automatically interrupted.

 Water in the dishwasher may be

hot. Danger of scalding! Only open the door during operation

if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so.

Closing the door

 Push the baskets right in.  Then lift the door upwards and push

until it clicks into position.

 Danger of injury!

Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.

Safety lock

Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door.

 To lock the door, push the slide

underneath the door grip to the right.

 To unlock the door, push the slide to

the left.

Before using for the first time

Water softener

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in a 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 water softener. The water softener in the dishwasher is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70 °d - German scale).

– The water softener requires

dishwasher salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 3.8mmol/l, or 21°d - German scale), dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see "Operation - Detergent").

– The dishwasher must be

programmed for the water hardness level in your area.

Enter the water hardness below:

____________mmol/l

The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of

0.2mmol/l (1°d - German scale).

If this setting corresponds to the hardness of your water, you do not need to do anything more.

However, if you have a different water hardness, you must adjust the water softener to match your water hardness.

– Your local water authority will be able

to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

– Where the water hardness fluctuates,

e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 15 °d - German scale), always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °d in this example).

In the event of a fault, it will help the service technician if you know the hardness of your local water supply.

Before using for the first time

Displaying and setting the water hardness level

 Switch the dishwasher off with the 

button, if it is switched on.

 Press the /button in and, whilst

holding it in, switch the dishwasher

on using the button. Keep the /button pressed in for at least four seconds until the / indicator light comes on.

If this does not happen, start the procedure from the beginning again.

 Press the  button twice. The  indicator light will flash rapidly

twice at intervals.

The value which has been set for the water hardness is shown as a figure after  in the display (see chart).

 will start flashing in the display. This is the factory default setting of 15°d.

 Use the / button to select the

value which equates to your water hardness level. Each press of the button moves you up a level. When the highest water hardness level is reached, the setting starts from the beginning again.

The setting is now stored in memory.  Switch the dishwasher off with the 

button.

Before using for the first time

Before using the appliance for the first time, you require:

– approx. 2 litres of water,

– approx. 2 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.

Dishwasher salt

If the water hardness in your area is constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l (5°d), you do not need to add dishwasher salt. The prompt to add dishwasher salt will be switched off automatically. The water softener must, however, still be programmed to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.

 Dishwasher detergent will

damage the water softener. Do not fill the salt reservoir with

powder or liquid detergent.

 Only use special coarse grained

dishwasher salt for reactivation, as other salts (e.g. cooking salt,

agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.

The water softener requires dishwasher salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - German scale), dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see "Operation - Detergent").

Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve.

Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the reservoir.

 Remove the lower basket and

unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed.

It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir.

 Fill the reservoir with approx.2litres

of water (first use only).

 Place the funnel provided over the

salt reservoir and carefully fill with dishwasher salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt depending on the brand used.

 Clean any excess salt from around

the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.

 Immediately after filling the salt

reservoir, run the Gentle 45°C programme with the Turbo programme option selected and without any crockery in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

Before using for the first time

Add salt reminder

 Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher

salt when the Salt indicator light comes on (If it comes on during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).

 Risk of corrosion!

Immediately after filling the salt reservoir, run the Gentle45°C  programme with the Turbo programme option selected and without any crockery in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill indicator may still be lit up if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. It will go out when the correct concentration is reached.

The refill reminder will be switched off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 0.9mmol/l (5°d - German scale).

If you only ever use multi-function combination products in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill reminders for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see "Programme options Switching off the refill indicators").

If you switch to using detergent that does not contain salt or rinse aid, it is important to remember to add dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to switch the reminders back on.

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.

Alternatively, it is possible to use

– household vinegar with a max. 5%

acid content

– liquid citric acid up to 10% acid

content

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

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.

 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.

Before using for the first time

Add rinse aid reminder

When the Rinse aid indicator light comes on, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only.

 Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

If you switch to using detergent that does not contain salt or rinse aid, it is important to remember to add dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to switch the reminders back on.

 Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This

prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.

Before using for the first time

Setting the rinse aid dosage

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results.

The rinse aid dosage is set in stages from 0 to 6. It is set to 3 at the factory. This is the recommended setting.

If the "Adjust Sensor wash" programme function (depending on model) has been activated, the amount of rinse aid dispensed in the Sensor wash programme can be higher than that set.

If spots appear on crockery and glassware:

 Increase the rinse aid dosage.

If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and glassware:
