Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.

Correct application

This dishwasher is not designed for commercial use. It is

intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments.

The dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use.

It must only be used as a domestic appliance 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. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

The appliance can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the

appliance unless they are constantly supervised.

Children 8 years and older may only use the dishwasher if they

have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance

unsupervised.

Keep very young children away from it at all times and supervise

them whilst you are using it. To prevent the risk of injury, do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. There is a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents

contain irritant and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. Seek medical attention immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

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

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

The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply

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

There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher.

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

The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high

radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as heaters etc.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data

on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if

correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested and where there is any doubt the electrical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

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

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

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

Warning and Safety instructions

The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical

component. The housing must not be dipped in water.

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 stopcock has been turned off when the appliance is not used

for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).

The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off. However, the appliance must remain connected to the electricity supply.

A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher

gets damaged, switch it off at the mains and call your Miele Dealer or the Miele Service Department.

Warning and Safety instructions

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the

user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the safety standards of the appliance.

Always disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical supply for

maintenance work (switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug).

If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a

special cable available from Miele. For safety reasons this must only be fitted by Miele Service or a Miele approved service technician.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance

with the diagram supplied.

Take care, both before and during installation of the

dishwasher, not to cut yourself on the metal parts. Danger of injury. Wear protective gloves.

The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free

operation.

In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated

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

If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a

built-under ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion kit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a U-model plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused by protruding metal parts.

The door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They

are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left open at 45°. It is important that the door is held in place by the springs and cannot fall open.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher

detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily, as you could trip over

it.

Dishes can be very hot at the end of the programme.

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

Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the

dishwasher to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.

Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic

dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.

Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may

cause damage, and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.

This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.

Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher

detergent. This 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,

as other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.

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.

On models with "Delay start", make sure that the dispenser is dry

before adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.

Warning and Safety instructions

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with

this dishwasher. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot

accidentally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for our environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

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

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

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice.

Ensure that it 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.

Caring for our 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:

If your water supply 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.

^ 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 detergent if baskets are only half full.

A tick will appear beside the option which is currently selected.

Before using for the first time

Basic settings

Switch the dishwasher on with the

On/Off button K.

If the dishwasher is being switched on for the first time, the welcome screen will appear.

Language

The display will then change automatically to the screen for setting the language.

See "Display" for more information about the display.

^ Select the language you want, and

confirm your selection with the middle button.

A tick

( will appear next to the

language that has been set.

Water hardness

The display will then change to the screen for setting the water hardness.

–

The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness in your area.

–

Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

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

Enter the water hardness below:

mmol/l or °d

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

2.7 mmol/l (15 °d - German scale).

Select the water hardness you want,

and confirm your selection with the middle button.

See "Settings, Water hardness" for further information.

Finally, two messages will appear in the display.

After confirming these, the prompts:

: Replenish rinse aid and : Replenish

salt

may also appear. Press any button to confirm these. The display will change to show the main menu.

These basic settings will be saved in memory after the dishwasher has been through one complete programme.

–

Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 6.7 - 9.0 mmol/l (37 - 50 °d - German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (9.0 mmol/l in this example).

Before using for the first time

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

approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt*,

–

domestic dishwasher detergent*,

–

rinse aid* formulated for domestic

–

dishwashers.

*See "Optional accessories"

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.

Filling the salt reservoir

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d – German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener in this dishwasher is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70 °d - German scale).

If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than

0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale), you do not need to add dishwasher salt. The water softener must, however, still be programmed to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.

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, as other salts 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 (ß 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - German scale), dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see "Detergent").

When filling the salt reservoir only

open the door halfway to ensure that all the salt gets into the reservoir.

Before using for the first time

Do not fill the salt reservoir with water.

^ Press the button on the lid of the salt

reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

Lift up the funnel.

^ Add salt only until the reservoir is full

or until water runs out of the opening. The salt reservoir holds approx. 1 kg of salt, depending on the brand used.

Do not add any more than 1 kg of salt.

As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced water may overflow.

Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening, and then close the flap.

Run the Quick wash programme im mediately without any crockery in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet (do not use the Turbo function if your dishwasher has this feature).

Before using for the first time

"Replenish salt" message

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher

salt for reactivation when the

Replenish salt message appears.

(If it appears during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).

Confirm by pressing the middle

button.

The "Replenish salt" message will go out.

After the salt reservoir has been filled, the "Replenish salt" message may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. If this is the case, press the middle button again.

The replenish salt message will not appear if the dishwasher has been programmed for a water hardness level of less than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d German scale).

If you only ever use combination products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can switch the reminders off if you wish (see "Settings menu - Replenish salt and rinse aid reminders").

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

After filling the salt reservoir, run the Quick wash programme immedi ately (without any crockery in the dishwasher, and without selecting the Turbo function) to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
