IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This dishwasher complies with all current local and national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material damage.

Please observe the installation sheet and read the operating instructions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using it for the first time. They both contain important information on the installation, safety, use, and maintenance of the machine. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the dishwasher.

Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the section on installing the dishwasher as well as the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by noncompliance with these instructions.

Keep the installation sheet and the operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Appropriate use

 This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and

similar residential environments.

 This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.  This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 13,000ft

(4,000m) above sea level.

 This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic dishes

and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted.

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

dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety with children

 Children must be kept away from the dishwasher unless they are

constantly supervised.

 Children may only use the dishwasher without supervision if they

have been shown how to use it in a safe manner. Children must be able to understand and recognize the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance.  Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.

Never allow children to play with the dishwasher. There is a danger that children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

 If the automatic door opening mechanism is active (depending on

the model), keep young children away from the area in which the door opens.

 Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entan-

gled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.

 Keep children away from detergents. Detergents cause severe

skin burns and severe eye damage. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. It is therefore important to keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Detergent residues could still be present in the machine. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any detergents.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

 Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause

considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.

 Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before

using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.

 The electrical safety of the dishwasher can only be guaranteed

when correctly grounded. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a qualified service technician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate or lack of grounding system (e.g., electric shock).

 Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be as-

sured if it has been connected to the power supply.

 Where the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using

a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact, 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 be-

cause the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.

 The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The

high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the dishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be installed next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters etc., not normally found in a kitchen.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate

(fuse rating, frequency, and voltage) match the electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the appliance to the electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified service technician.

 Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity 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 mecha-

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

- The door springs must be evenly adjusted 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.

 Power bars and extension cords do not guarantee the required

safety of the appliance (risk of fire). Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply using a power bar or an extension cord.

 The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location

(e.g., on a ship).

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

frost. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 The water-connection pressure needs to be between 7.25 and

145 psi (50 and 1,000kPa).

 A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher

gets damaged, turn it off at the electricity supply immediately and contact your Miele dealer or Miele Customer Service.

 The manufacturer’s warranty may be invalidated if the appliance is

not repaired to Miele authorized service standards.

 We recommend replacing defective components with original

parts. If original Miele parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid.

 During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher

must be disconnected from the electricity supply (turn it off and withdraw the plug from the socket).

 If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced with a spe-

cific cord of the same type (available from Miele Customer Service). For safety reasons, this must only be done by Miele Customer Service or a service technician authorized by Miele.

 Do not sit the dishwasher on the hose. The hose needs to be free

of kinks and able to move freely after installation. Do not place hose or power cord next to a heat source e.g. hot water pipes. Do not expose hose or power cord to corrosive substances or their vapors (e.g. chloride). Damage of hose or power cord could cause electrical shock or water damage.

Correct installation

 The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance

with the supplied installation sheet.

 Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.

Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/being cut. Wear protective gloves.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure

problem-free operation.

 In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers

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

 The dishwasher must only be built into a tall cabinet if additional

safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance in a tall cabinet, please use the tall cabinet installation kit and observe the installation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the cabinet tipping over.

 The door springs must be evenly adjusted 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 appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door springs. If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact the Miele Customer Service.

The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the factory-installed door springs is 22-26.5 lb (10–12kg) depending on model.

Correct use

 Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. There is a danger of explo-

sion.

 Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the

eyes, nose, mouth, and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

 Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could

injure yourself on the opened door or trip over it.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Do not sit, stand, or lean on the opened door. The dishwasher

could tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.

 Dishes may be very hot at the end of the program. Allow the

dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.

 Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-

washers. Do not use liquid dish soap.

 Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may

cause material 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 damage to the rinse aid reservoir.

 Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or liq-

uid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.

 In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives

and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles downwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle down in the cutlery basket will come out cleaner and drier.

 Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,

such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, 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 timer option (depending on model), the detergent

compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary. The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Accessories and parts

 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-

ranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims will be invalidated.

 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a mini-

mum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of your dishwasher.

Transport

 Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before

using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.

 Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no

water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.

 If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely fas-

ten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses, and power cords.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

 Remove the door of the dishwasher so that children cannot be-

come trapped inside.

Guide to the appliance

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials. They also contain certain substances, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these materials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with regular household waste and follow local regulations on proper disposal.

Consult with local authorities, dealers or Miele in order to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. Miele assumes no responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance being disposed. Please ensure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal. Observe safety requirements for appliances that may tip over or pose an entrapment hazard.

Before using for the first time

Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the machine from this test. It is not an indication that the dishwasher has been used previously.

Opening the door

 To open the door, reach under the re-

cessed grip and pull the handle.

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

Closing the door

 Insert the baskets.  Then lift the door upward and push

until it clicks into position.

 Risk of crushing due to the door

closing. When closing the door, you are at

risk of shutting your fingers in it. Do not put your hand inside the door

as it is closing.

Activating the safety lock

Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. The door can then only be opened by using a lot of force.

 Risk of scalding due to hot wa-

ter. During operation, water in the dish-

washer may be very hot. During operation, only open the door

with extreme caution.

 To lock the door, push the slide un-

derneath the recessed grip to the right.

 To unlock the door, push the slide to

the left.

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water does not cling and leave marks on dishes during the drying phase, and helps dishes dry faster after they have been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.

 Liquid dish soap or detergent

can cause damage. Liquid dish soap and detergent can

damage the rinse-aid reservoir. Only fill it with rinse aid formulated

for domestic dishwashers.

Alternatively, you could use liquid citric acid at a concentration of up to 10%. The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.

 Risk of acid damage.

The dishwasher can be damaged by high concentrations of acid.

Under no circumstances should you use citric acid with a higher acid content.

If you only ever wish to use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid. However, for optimum rinsing and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add rinse aid separately.

Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the rinse aid. Turn the refill reminder back on if required.

Before using for the first time

Adding rinse aid

 Press the yellow button on the lid

of the rinse-aid reservoir.

The lid will spring open.

 Close the lid firmly until you hear it

click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse-aid reservoir during a program.

 Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This

prevents excess foam developing during the next program.

Filling the rinse-aid reservoir

When the refill reminder Rinse aid appears in the display, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3 programs only.

 Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

The rinse-aid refill reminder will go out.

If you only ever use combination detergent products containing rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can turn off the refill reminder if you wish (see “Turning off the refill reminders” under “Options”).

 Fill with rinse aid until the filling level

indicator (arrow) changes to a dark color while the door is horizontally open.

The rinse-aid reservoir holds approximately 110ml.

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 can be set from 0 to 6ml. 3ml is the factory default setting.

The rinse-aid dosage can turn out to be higher than the set value due to the automatic adjustment of the program.

If spots appear on dishes and glassware:

- Increase the rinse-aid dosage.

If clouding or smearing appears on dishes and glassware:

- Decrease the rinse-aid dosage.

 Turn the dishwasher off with the

button, if it is turned on.

 Press the Startbutton in and, while

holding it in, turn the dishwasher on

using the button. Keep the Startbutton pressed in for at least 4seconds until the Start indicator light comes on.

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

 Press the Program button 3 times.

The left program indicator light will flash rapidly 3 times at intervals.

The set value will appear in the display after.

 will start flashing in the time display. Setting3 is set.

 Use the Startbutton to select the re-

quired setting. The dosage amount increases each time you press the button. When the highest value is reached, the setting starts again from the beginning.

The setting is now saved.  Turn the dishwasher off with the

button.

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 machine by following these tips:

- Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing by hand.

- There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water, and this unnecessarily increases water and energy consumption.

- Make full use of the basket capacity without overloading the dishwasher. This results in the most economical dishwashing in terms of energy and water consumption.

- Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed (see “Program overview”).

- You can connect the dishwasher to a hot-water supply. A hot water connection is particularly suitable with energy-saving water heating sources, such as solar energy with a circulation system. If the water is heated by electricity, we would recommend connection to cold water.

- Select the Normal program for energy-saving dishwashing. This program is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption for cleaning dishware with a normal level of soiling.

- 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.

Loading the dishwasher

General information

Remove coarse food residues from dishes.

There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water.

 Damage can be caused by ash,

sand, wax, lubricating grease, or paint.

These substances will contaminate the dishwasher and can then no longer be removed.

Do not wash items soiled with these substances in the dishwasher.

Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed:

- Do not place dishes and utensils inside other items where they will cover one another.

- Load the dishes so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that they get properly cleaned.

- The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. 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 such as lids should therefore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model).

Some foods such as carrots, tomatoes, or ketchup may contain natural dyes. These dyes can discolor plastic items in the dishwasher if large quantities of these foods are in contact with the dishes inside the appliance. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discoloration. Washing silverware can also cause plastic items to discolor.

- Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

- Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc., must be inverted in the baskets.

- Tall, narrow, hollow items such as champagne glasses should be placed in the center of the basket rather than in the corners. This ensures the hollow items are more easily accessed by the water jets.

- Concave items such as mugs or bowls should be placed at an angle so that the water can run off.

Loading the dishwasher

Wash items not suitable for dishwashers:

- Wooden cutlery and dishes or items with wooden parts. These may discolor 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. Such items are not suitable for dishwashers.

- Plastic items that are not heat resistant. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.

- Copper, brass, tin and aluminum items. These may discolor or become dull.

- Colors painted over a glaze. These may fade after a number of washes.

- Delicate glassware and glassware containing lead crystal. Clouding may occur over time.

Silver

Silver that has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolor. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish, and marinades.

Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or spot-

ted at the end of a program, where water has not run off smoothly.

 Damage due to caustic alkaline

detergents. Aluminum parts (e.g., the grease fil-

ters of ventilation hoods) can be damaged by caustic alkaline detergents. In extreme cases, there is a risk of an explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).

Aluminum components must not be cleaned in the dishwasher with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial detergents.

Tip: When purchasing new dishes and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasherproof if you want to wash them in the dishwasher.

Glass care

- Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing in the dishwasher. When washing delicate glassware in the dishwasher, ensure that only a special glass-care program with very low temperatures is selected (see “Program overview”). This will reduce the risk of clouding.

- Purchase glassware that is dishwasher-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware).

- Use detergents with glass protective additives.

Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.

 Risk of damage due to water

leakage. If you run the dishwasher without the

upper basket, water can leak out of the dishwasher.

Only run the dishwasher with the upper basket in place (except during the Tall items program, if available).

 Use the upper basket for small, light-

weight, and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.

 Long items such as soup ladles and

mixing spoons should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.

Loading the FlexCare cup rack

You can put cups, small bowls, and flat dishes on the FlexCare cup rack. Glasses can be arranged along the cup rack so they sit securely during the program.

 Lower the cup rack to do so.  Raise the cup rack upward to make

room for tall items.

Adjusting the FlexCare cup rack

You can set the height and depth of the cup rack at 2 different levels so that it can accommodate larger cups and so that taller items can be placed underneath it.

 Pull the cup rack upward and click it

into the desired position (see arrows).

Loading the dishwasher

Adjusting the upper basket

In order to gain more space for taller items in the lower basket or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on 3 levels with 3/4" (2cm) between each level.

The upper basket can also be set at an angle so that water can run off freely from recesses. Make sure, however, that the basket can slide smoothly in and out of the wash cabinet.

 Pull out the upper basket.

To raise the upper basket:

 Lift the basket until it clicks into

place.

To lower the upper basket:

 Pull upwards on the levers at either

side of the upper basket.

 Adjust the basket to the desired

height and then push the levers securely back down into position.

When adjusting the upper basket, make sure that tall plates in the lower basket do not block the middle spray arm.

Loading the dishwasher

Lower basket

See “Loading examples” under “Loading the dishwasher” for examples of how to load dishware and utensils.

Loading the lower basket

 Place larger and heavier items such

as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc., in the lower basket. Glasses, cups, and small plates and saucers can also be placed in the lower basket.

Loading the MultiComfort area

The rear section of the lower basket is used for washing cups, glasses, plates, and pots.

Lowering the spikes

The spikes at the front are used for washing plates, soup bowls, platters, dessert bowls, and saucers.

Both right-hand rows of spikes can be lowered to make more room for large items such as pots, pans, and serving dishes.

 Press the yellow lever downward,

and then lower the spikes.

 Place very large plates in the center

of the lower basket.

Tip: When tilted, plates up to 13 3/4" (35cm) in diameter can be accommodated.

Loading the dishwasher

Cutlery tray/cutlery basket (de-

pending on model)

See “Loading examples” under “Loading the dishwasher” for examples of how to load dishware and utensils.

 Load the utensils into the cutlery tray

or into the cutlery basket (depending on model).

Loading the cutlery tray

To make unloading easier, utensils should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc.

Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.

 If spoon handles do not fit between

the holders, then lay them the other way round.

Arrange tall items (such as cake server) so that they do not block the upper spray arm.

Loading the cutlery basket

The cutlery basket can be placed anywhere on the front rows of spikes in the left or right corner of the lower basket.

 To avoid the risk of injury, knives and

forks should be placed with the handles upward in the cutlery basket. However, utensils placed handle down in the cutlery basket will come out cleaner and drier.

Loading the dishwasher

 Install the insert onto the cutlery bas-

ket if required.

 Place small utensils in the individual

slots on 3sides of the cutlery basket.

Loading the cutlery insert for the cutlery basket

Use the insert supplied for heavily soiled utensils. As this insert separates the utensils, they do not overlap and can be more easily accessed by the water jets.

 Place the utensils into the insert with

the handles facing downward.

 Distribute them evenly along the in-

sert.

Detergents

Active ingredients

 Damage caused by using unsuit-

able detergents. Detergents that are not suitable for

domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the wash items.

Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers.

Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are:

- Water softening complexing agents to prevent calcification.

- Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on soiling.

- Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein.

- Oxygen-based bleaching agents to remove colored stains (e.g., tea, coffee, tomato sauce).

Most dishwasher detergents are mildly alkaline and contain enzymes and oxygen-based bleaching agents.

There are different types of detergent:

- Powder and liquid gel detergents. These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the amount of wash items and the level of soiling.

- Tab detergents. These are suitable for most levels of soiling.

As well as the usual detergents, combination products are also available. These contain rinse aid and water softener (reactivation salt). Only use these combination detergents for the water hardness levels recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. The cleaning and drying performance of these combination detergents can vary greatly.

For optimum cleaning and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add salt and rinse aid separately (depending on model).

Detergents

 Risk of chemical burns from de-

tergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause

burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat.

Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

Keep children away from detergents. Detergent residues could still be present in the machine. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Do not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the program and activate the door safety lock (depending on model).

Detergent dispensing

The detergent compartment holds a maximum of 31/2" tablespoons.

There are marks in the detergent compartment to aid with dispensing: 11/4, 2 tablespoons (20, 30ml). When the door is opened to a horizontal position, they show the approximate fill level in ml and the maximum fill height.

 Follow the detergent dosage recom-

mended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

 Unless directed otherwise, use one

detergent tab or add 11/4 to 2 tablespoons (20 to 30ml) of detergent to the detergent compartment, depending on the level of soiling of the dishware.

If you use less than the recommended amount of detergent, the dishware may not get properly clean.

Some tabs may not dissolve completely when the program QuickIntenseWash is used.

Detergents

Adding detergent

 Press the yellow button on the lid

of the detergent compartment.

The lid will spring open. The lid will also open at the end of a program.

The detergent must not cause the detergent-compartment lid to get stuck. This can prevent the lid from opening during the program.

Do not overfill the detergent compartment.

 Ensure that the detergent packaging

is properly closed after use. This prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together.

 Add the detergent to the detergent

compartment.

 Push the lid shut until you hear it click

into place.

 You can also apply a small amount of

detergent to the inner panel of the door in programs that have a prewash stage (see “Program overview”).

Operation

Turning on the dishwasher

 Make sure the spray arms can rotate

freely.

 Close the door.  Turn on the water supply if it is turned

off.

 Press the button.

The Start indicator light flashes and the indicator light comes on next to the program selected.

Selecting a program

Choose your program according to the type of load and the degree of soiling.

The different programs and their uses are described under Program over- view.

 Use the Program button to select the

program you want.

The indicator light next to the program selected will come on. The program duration will appear in hours and minutes in the display.

You can now select program options (see “Options”).

If any program options are selected, the appropriate indicator lights will also light up.

Operation

Display of program duration

The duration of the program selected appears in hours and minutes in the display before the program begins. During the program, the time left until the end of the program is displayed.

The displayed duration may vary for the same program. It is influenced by, for example, the temperature of the incoming water, the reactivation cycle of the water softener, the detergent type, the amount of dishware, and how soiled it is.

When a program is selected for the first time, the display will show the average program duration for a cold water connection.

The program durations shown under “Program overview” refer to standard test loads and temperatures.

Each time a program is run, the control module calculates the program duration required depending on the temperature of the water taken into the dishwasher and the amount of dishware.

Starting a program

The dishwasher can only be started if the door is closed.

 Press the Start button.

The program starts.

The Start indicator light will come on.

 Risk of scalding due to hot wa-

ter. During operation, water in the dish-

washer may be very hot. During operation, only open the door

with extreme caution.

Operation

End of program

The program has ended when : shows in the display.

The dishwasher can now be opened and unloaded.

The drying fan may continue to run for a few minutes at the end of the program.

 Risk of damage due to steam.

Steam from the dishwasher could damage the edges of delicate countertops when you open the door at the end of the program if the fan is no longer running.

At the end of a program, you can either open the door fully (do not leave it partially open) or leave it closed until you are ready to unload the dishes.

Energy management

To save energy, the dishwasher will switch off automatically 10minutes after the last time a button is pressed or after the end of a program.

You can turn the dishwasher back on again with the button.

The dishwasher will not turn itself off while a program is running or if there is a fault.

Operation

Turning off the dishwasher

 The dishwasher can be turned off at

any time using the button.

Turning the dishwasher off during a program stops the program.

You can also do this to stop an ongoing timer.

 Risk of damage from leaking wa-

ter. Leaking water can cause damage. If the dishwasher is not going to be

used for a longer period of time, e.g., during vacations, the water supply should be turned off.

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.

The dishes will cool much faster if you open the door when the program has ended.

 First unload the lower basket, then

the upper basket and finally the cutlery tray. This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and cutlery tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

Operation

Interrupting a program

A program will be interrupted as soon as the door is opened.

 Close the door and press the Start

button.

The program will continue from the point at which it was interrupted.

 Risk of scalding due to hot wa-

ter. During operation, water in the dish-

washer may be very hot. During operation, only open the door

with extreme caution.

Canceling or changing a program

If a program is canceled, important program stages may be missed.

A program should only be canceled in the first few minutes.

 Turn the dishwasher off with the

button.

If you would like to select another program:

 Turn the dishwasher on again with the

button.

 If you have dispensed detergent

manually, check whether the detergent compartment is still closed. If the lid is already open, fill it with detergent again and close the lid.

 Select the program you want, and

then start it.

Options

Timer

You can set the start time of a program. The program start time can be delayed for between 30minutes and 24hours. With start-time delays between 30minutes and 3hours, the delay can be set in 30minute stages. It is set in hours for periods longer than this.

During manual detergent dispensing, the detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this may mean it is not fully rinsed out.

When using the timer function, make sure that the detergent compartment is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry with a cloth first, if necessary. Do not use any liquid detergents. These can leak out.

 Danger to health due to deter-

gent. To prevent children coming into con-

tact with dishwasher detergent: Do not fill the detergent dispenser

until just before starting the program, i.e., before you activate the

timer. Use the safety lock to secure the dishwasher door.

Cleaning and care

Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4– 6months). This helps to avoid faults and problems.

 Damage due to unsuitable clean-

ing agents. All surfaces are susceptible to

scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolor all surfaces.

Only use cleaning agents formulated for use on the relevant surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.

If, despite this, limescale or grease deposits build up in the cabinet, these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner (available from the Miele Customer Service or Miele's online store). Follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

The frequent use of low-temperature wash programs increases the risk of contamination and odors inside the wash cabinet. Run the Pots & Pans program once per month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odors from developing.

 Clean the filters in the wash cabinet

regularly.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door and the door seal

The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a result, mold can develop here.

 Wipe the door seals regularly with a

damp cloth to remove food deposits.

 Wipe off any food or drink residues

which may have dripped onto the sides of the dishwasher door before closing it.

Cleaning the control panel

 The control panel should only be

wiped with a damp cloth.

Cleaning the front of the machine

 Damage due to soiling.

Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolor.

It is therefore best to remove any soiling immediately.

To avoid damaging the external surfaces, do not use the following:

- cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids, or chloride

- cleaning agents containing lime scale remover

- abrasive cleaning agents, such as scouring powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones

- cleaning agents containing solvents

- stainless-steel cleaning agents

- dishwasher cleaner

- oven cleaner

- glass cleaner

- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g., pot scourers, brushes, or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents

- eraser sponges

- sharp metal scrapers

- steel wool

- steam cleaners

 Clean the appliance front with a clean

soft sponge and a solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. A clean, damp microfiber cloth without detergent can also be used.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the spray-arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected regularly (approx. every 2–4months).

Never run a wash program without using the spray arms.

 Damage due to soiling entering

the circulation system. Without filters, soiling can enter the

circulation system and cause a blockage.

Do not run a wash program without the lower spray arm or without the filters.

When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.

 Turn off the dishwasher.

both sides of the cutlery tray.

 Make sure the spray arms can rotate

freely.

 Damage due to soiling entering

the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to se-

cure the filter combination. Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage.

Do not run a wash program without the lower spray arm or without the filters.

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. This prevents soiling getting into the circulation system and re-entering the wash cabinet through the spray arms.

 Damage due to soiling entering

the circulation system. Without filters, soiling can enter the

circulation system and cause a blockage.

Do not run a wash program without the lower spray arm or without the filters.

When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.

The filters can become blocked by soiling that collects over time. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.

Cleaning the filters

 Turn off the dishwasher.  Remove the lower spray arm (see

“Cleaning the spray arms” under “Cleaning and care”).

 Before removing the filter combina-

tion, remove any coarse soiling to prevent it from entering the circulation system.

 Remove the filter combination.

 Monitor the condition of the filter

combination regularly and clean it if necessary.

Cleaning and care

 In order to clean the inside of the fil-

ter, pull the microfilter on the plastic ring downwards and away from the filter combination.

 Rinse all of the filters under running

water. If necessary, use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling.

 Insert the microfilter back into the fil-

ter combination.

 Reinstall the filter combination so that

it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

 Refit the lower spray arm to the filter

combination using the screw thread.

 Rotate the screw thread clockwise

until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol.

 Damage due to soiling entering

the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to se-

cure the filter combination. Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage.

Do not run a wash program without the lower spray arm or without the filters.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drain pump

Water intake

 Danger to health due to wash

water. Water in the dishwasher must not be

used as drinking water. Do not drink any water from the dish-

washer.

 Health risk and risk of damage

due to contaminated incoming water. The quality of the incoming water

must correspond to the drinking water specification of the country in which the dishwasher is being operated.

Connect the dishwasher to a drinking water supply.

The dishwasher may be connected to cold or hot water (up to max. 140°F/60°C) supplies. We recommend connecting to a cold water supply to reduce energy consumption. If energy-saving water heating sources, such as solar energy circulation systems, are used, we recommend connecting to the hot water. This saves both time and electrical energy costs. Hot water is used in all programs.

The intake hose is approx.5ft (1.5m) long. A 5ft (1.5m) long, flexible metal extension hose (tested to 2030 psi/14,000kPa) is available as an optional accessory from Miele specialist retailers or Miele Customer Service.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

A water supply with 3/8" Compression Connection (thread connection of

9/16" – 24 UNEF) must be provided on site. If this type of faucet is not available, only a qualified installer may connect the dishwasher to the domestic water supply.

A backflow preventer is not required. The appliance meets the requirements of the applicable DIN standards.

The water-connection pressure needs to be between 7.25 and 145 psi (50 and 1,000kPa). If the water-connection pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

 Risk of damage from leaking wa-

ter. The connection point is subject to

water pressure. Water leaking from it can cause damage.

You should therefore open the faucet slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the seal and screw thread if appropriate.

 Risk of damage due to excessive

pressure. A brief increase in the water pressure

can damage components of the dishwasher.

This dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a fully primed plumbing system.

 Risk of damage from leaking wa-

ter. The intake hose is under water pres-

sure. The intake hose must not be short-

ened or damaged in any way.

 Do not sit the dishwasher on the

hose. The hose needs to be free of kinks and able to move freely after installation. Do not place the hose or power cord next to a heat source e.g., hot water pipes. Do not expose the hose or power cord to corrosive substances (e.g., chloride). Damage to the hose or power cord could cause electrical shock or water damage.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Water drainage

The appliance drainage system has a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose.

The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 5ft (1.5m) of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8" (22mm).

The hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 13ft (4m) and the delivery head no higher than 3ft (1m).

If the hose is to be directly connected to the drainage outlet on site, use the supplied hose clip (see the installation diagram).

The hose can be directed to the left or the right of the appliance.

The on-site connector for the drain hose can be used for various hose diameters. If the connector extends too far into the drain hose, it must be shortened. Otherwise, the drain hose can become clogged.

Lay the drain hose so that it does not kink and is not being subjected to pressure or tugged.

 Risk of damage from leaking wa-

ter. Leaking water can cause damage. After servicing the appliance, ensure

that the drain does not leak.

Only use a Miele approved connection piece when extending the drain line. Only use a Miele extension drain hose.

The drain hose must not be shortened.

*INSTALLATION*

Venting the water drainage

If the on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide path for the lower basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise, a siphoning effect during a program can cause the appliance to empty itself of water.

 Open the dishwasher door fully.

Installation

 Remove the lower basket.  Insert a screwdriver into the middle

opening of the vent valve in the left wash cabinet wall.

 Press the screwdriver further into the

opening and push it through the membrane behind.

The vent opening for the water drain is now open.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Electrical connection

 Installation, repairs and other

work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

Check that the voltage, frequency and fuse rating shown on the data plate match the household power supply.

The power outlet must be accessible after installation. Do not use an extension cord to connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply. Danger of overheating! See data plate on the right side of the door.

A damaged power cord must only be replaced with a genuine Miele cord by a Miele service technician.
