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.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

10

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.

11

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.

12

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.

13

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.

14

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.

15

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.

16

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.

17

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.

The arrows on the left and right of the
display, indicate further options. You
can use the button underneath the
display on the left or right, as
appropriate, to select these further
options.

20

The middle button underneath the
display is used to confirm a message or
setting and also to move to the next
menu or to another menu level.

(

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

: 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).

21

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").

22

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).

-

23

Before using for the first time

"Replenish salt" message

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher

^

salt for reactivation when the

F

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.

24

-

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 always cause serious
damage to the reservoir.

Alternatively, it is possible to use

– Household vinegar with a max. 5%

acid content

or

– Liquid citric acid with up to 10% acid

content.

The resulting rinsing and drying quality
will not, however, be as good as when
rinse aid is used.

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.

,

Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence
containing 25% acid). This would
damage the dishwasher.

If you only ever use combination
products containing rinse aid in your
dishwasher, you do not need to add
rinse aid.

25

Before using for the first time

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.

^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This

prevents over-foaming occurring
during the next programme.

Replenish rinse aid message

When the ( Replenish rinse aid
message appears, the reservoir
contains sufficient rinse aid for2-3
programmes only.

Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

^

Confirm by pressing the middle

^

button.

The "Replenish rinse aid" message will
go out.

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.

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for best results (see Settings menu,
Rinse aid).

26

Loading the dishwasher

Note

Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.

There is no need to rinse items under
running water.

Do not wash items soiled with

,

ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease
or paint in the dishwasher.
These substances will damage the
dishwasher.

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

– Do not place crockery and cutlery

inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.

– Load the crockery so that water can

access all surfaces. This ensures
that they get properly cleaned.

– Make sure that all items are securely

positioned.

Wide based items should be placed

–

at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.

The spray arms must not be blocked

–

by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets.
If in doubt, test for free movement by
manually rotating the spray arms.

Make sure that small items cannot

–

fall through the holders in the
baskets. Small items, e.g. lids,
should therefore be placed in the
cutlery tray or cutlery basket
(depending on model).

Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup. Plastic items in the
dishwasher may discolour if large
quantities of these foodstuffs find
their way into the appliance on the
crockery. The stability of plastic
items is not affected by this
discolouration.

–

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

–

Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the centre of the basket to
ensure better water coverage.

27

Loading the dishwasher

Items not suitable for
dishwashers:

Wooden cutlery and crockery or

–

items with wooden parts: these may
discolour and fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof
and wooden handles may come
loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.

Craft items, antiques, valuable vases

–

and decorative glassware are also
not suitable for dishwashers.

Plastic items which are not heat

–

resistant: the high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to
melt or lose shape.

– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium

items may discolour or become matt.

– Colours painted over a glaze may

fade after a number of washes.

– Clouding may occur on glasses after

frequent washing. Do not wash
delicate glassware, or glassware
containing lead crystal in a
dishwasher.

We recommend:

When purchasing new crockery and

–

cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-proof.

If delicate glassware is washed in the

–

dishwasher ensure that only very low
temperatures are used (see
programme chart), or a special
glass-care programme is used
(depending on model). This will
reduce the risk of clouding.

If in doubt, wash delicate glassware

–

by hand.

Please note

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

spotted at the end of a programme,
where water has not run off smoothly. It
may need to be rubbed dry with a soft
cloth.

Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions,
mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish
brine and marinades.

,

Aluminium components (e.g.
grease filters) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents. These
may damage the material, or in
extreme cases, cause a severe
chemical reaction. See section
"Adding detergent" for information
on suitable detergents.

Adjusting the upper basket

In order to gain more space for taller
pieces of crockery in the lower or upper
basket, the upper basket can be
adjusted on three levels with 2 cm
between each level.

The upper basket can also be set at an
angle with one side high and the other
side low. This can be useful to help
prevent water being left in deep dishes
etc. Ensure, however, that the basket
can slide smoothly in and out of the
cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket
before loading it.

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

If spoon handles do not fit between the
holders, then lay them the other way
round.

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.

The upper spray arm must not be
blocked by items which are too big
(e.g. cake slices).

The side sections of the tray can be
moved into the middle to accommodate
tall items of crockery in the upper
basket.

34

You can use the yellow slide to adjust
the height of the middle section of the
cutlery tray to make more room for
large items of cutlery, such as serving
spoons and ladles.

Cutlery basket (depending on model)

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

^ To avoid the risk of injury, knives and

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

downwards, and distribute them
evenly along the insert.

35

Operation

Detergent

Only use detergents formulated

,

for domestic dishwashers. Do not
use washing-up liquid.

Active ingredients

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

Phosphates 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 coloured stains (e.g. tea,
coffee, tomato sauce).

Most dishwasher detergents contain
phosphates and are mildly alkaline with
enzymes and oxygen based bleaching
agents. Phosphate free products are
rare.

You can also buy combination
products. In addition to detergent,
these products contain rinse aid and
salt substitutes. They are available as
"3 in 1" or when they also contain other
components such as glass and
stainless steel protective additives and
enhanced cleaning power, as "5 in 1",
"7 in 1" , "All in 1", etc.
Refer to the manufacturer's packaging
as to whether combination products are
suitable for the water hardness level in
your area.
Please note that the cleaning and
drying results of combination
detergents can vary greatly.

For optimum cleaning and drying
results, use Miele dishwasher
detergent and add Miele salt and
Miele rinse aid separately. See
"Optional accessories".

Dispensing

^ Follow the dosage recommended by

the manufacturer on the packaging.

Types of detergent:

–

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

–

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

36

^

Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml
detergent to compartment II,
depending on the level of soiling.
With very heavy soiling you can also
add a small amount of detergent to
compartment l (see "Programme
chart").

^

Tabs may not dissolve completely
when the Quick wash 40°C
programme is used.

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

Avoid inhalation of powder

,

detergents and do not 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.
Consult a doctor immediately if
detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled.
Keep detergent and other household
agents out of the reach of children at
all times. Keep children away from the
dishwasher when the door is open.
There could still be detergent residues
in the cabinet. To avoid the danger of
children coming into contact with the
dishwasher detergent, only add
detergent just before starting the
programme and close the door,
activating the child safety lock (if your
dishwasher is fitted with one).

Operation

The flap is always open at the end of a
programme.

^ Add the required amount of

detergent and close the flap.

^ Make sure that the detergent

packaging is properly closed after
use to avoid it getting damp and
becoming lumpy.

Adding detergent

^

Press the opening catch on the
detergent dispenser. The flap will
spring open.

For information

Compartment I holds max. 10 ml,
Compartment II holds max. 50 ml.

There are markings in compartment II
to assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The
marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or
30 ml when the door is open in a
horizontal position.

37

Operation

Switching on

Make sure the spray arms are not

^

obstructed.

Close the door.

^

Open the stopcock, if it is closed.

^

Switch the dishwasher on with the

^

On/Off button K.

One of the programmes will appear in
the display and the appropriate
indicator light will come on.
After a short while, the estimated
programme duration for the programme
selected will appear in the display.

Selecting a programme

Choose your programme according to
the type of load and how dirty it is.

The different programmes and their
uses are described in the Programme
chart later on in this booklet.

^ Select the programme required with

the programme selector button.

Starting the programme

Press the Start/Stop button.

^

The programme will begin.

If any additional functions are selected,
the appropriate indicators will also light
up.

A programme can only be cancelled
in the first few minutes. Otherwise
the programme must continue to the
end so that important programme
stages (e.g. reactivating the water
softener) are not omitted.

The indicator light next to the selected
programme will come on.

You can now select additional
functions (see "Additional functions").

38

Operation

Display

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

Symbols appear to indicate which
stage the programme is at:

1 Pre-wash / Soak
8 Main wash
% Interim rinse
( Final rinse

G Drying
O Finished

The time displayed may vary with the
same programme. This can be due,
among other factors, to the water
temperature at each intake, the
reactivation process, the type of
detergent, the amount of crockery and
how dirty it is.

Standby

To save energy, the dishwasher will
switch to Standby mode a few minutes
after the last time a button has been
pressed or a few minutes after the end
of the programme. The display and the
indicator lights will go out and only the
Start/Stop indicator will flash slowly.

Press any button to switch the

^

display and indicator lights back on
again.

If the dishwasher is not switched off at
the end of the programme, it will switch
off completely after a few minutes in
Standby mode (see "Settings menu,
Optimise standby").

The dishwasher will not switch into
Standby mode whilst a programme
is running, if salt or rinse aid needs
to be replenished or there is a fault.

When a programme is selected for the
first time, the display shows an average
time for a cold water intake.

The times shown in the Programme
chart refer to standard test loads and
temperatures.

Each time a programme is run, the
electronic unit takes the new conditions
into account, and calculates the time
required.

If you only use combination
products containing salt and rinse
aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch off the reminders to replenish
salt and rinse aid so that the
dishwasher will go into Standby
despite a lack of salt or rinse aid
(see "Before using for the first time").
You cannot switch off fault
messages.

39

Operation

At the end of the programme

If O Finished or AutoOpen appears in
the display, and the door has opened
slightly, this indicates that the
programme has finished.

Open the door completely to

^

re-engage the door closing
mechanism.

The drying fan will continue to run
for a few minutes at the end of the
Quick wash programme.

You can now empty the dishwasher.

If you have deactivated the auto-

,

matic door opening function (see
"Settings menu, AutoOpen"), but
would still like to open the door at
the end of the programme, then
make sure that you open the door
fully. Otherwise steam from the
dishwasher could damage the edge
of the worktop because the fan is no
longer running.

Switching off

At the end of a programme:

Switch the dishwasher off using the

^

On/Off button K.

The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until it is switched off with
the On/Off button K.

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

Unloading the dishwasher

Dishes tend to break and chip more
easily when they are hot.
Allow the dishes to cool until they are
comfortable enough to handle before
unloading them.

If you open the door fully after switching
off, the dishes will cool much faster.

First unload the lower basket, then the
upper basket and finally the cutlery tray
(depending on model).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and cutlery tray from
falling onto the dishes in the lower
basket.

40

Operation

Interrupting a programme

A programme is interrupted as soon as
the door is opened.
If the door is closed again, the
programme will continue from the point
it was at before the door was opened.

Water in the dishwasher may be

,

hot. Danger of scalding.
Only open the door if absolutely
necessary and exercise extreme
caution when doing so. Before
closing the door again, leave it ajar
for approx. 20 seconds. This will
enable the temperature in the wash
cabinet to settle. Then raise the door
up and push until the catch
engages.

The start time of a programme can be
delayed, e.g. to benefit from economy
rates of electricity. A delay start time of
between 30 minutes and 24 hours can
be selected. The delay start time is set
in 30 minute steps.

When using the Delay start function,
make sure that the detergent
compartment is dry before adding
detergent. Wipe dry with a cloth if
necessary. If the compartment is
wet, powder detergent can become
lumpy and stick to the dispenser,
with the result that it is not fully
dispensed.
Do not use liquid detergent when
selecting Delay start, as it can run
into the dishwasher before it is
required.

^ Switch the dishwasher on using the

On/Off button K.

The Start/Stop indicator light will flash.

DetergentAgent

For optimum cleaning results, the
dishwasher automatically adjusts the
programme sequence to the type of
detergent being used. Depending on
the programme, this can mean that the
running time and energy consumption
vary slightly.

Follow the detergent manufacturer's
instructions on dosage.

The cleaning and drying
performance of different types of
detergent can vary greatly.

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"). The DetergentAgent
function will not be affected by this.

Please make sure that if you start
using dishwasher salt and rinse aid
again, you switch the reminders back
on.

44

Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every4-6months). This
way faults and problems can be
avoided.

The external surfaces of the

,

dishwasher are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
external surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

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

If, however, there are limescale or
grease deposits in the cabinet, these
can be removed with a proprietary
dishwasher cleaner* or conditioner*.
Follow the instructions on the
packaging.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door and the door
seal

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 dishwasher door before
closing it.

If this is not done, mould could build up
on these surfaces as they are outside
the wash cabinet and so not accessed
and cleaned by the spray arm jets.

If you mainly use low temperature
programmes (below 50 °C), bacteria
and unpleasant odours can build in the
wash cabinet. To clean the wash
cabinet and prevent unpleasant odours
building up, run the Pots & Pans 75°C
programme once month.

Make sure that you also clean the filters
in the wash cabinet regularly.

45

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door front

Remove any soiling immediately.

,

If this is not done, it might become
impossible to remove and could
cause the external surfaces to alter
or discolour.

Clean the front using a damp Miele

^

microfibre E-cloth*, or with a clean
sponge and a solution of hot water
and washing-up liquid. Then dry with
a soft cloth.

To avoid damaging the external
surfaces, do not use:

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

ammonia, acids or chlorides,

cleaning agents containing

–

descaling agents,

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

–

powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

solvent-based cleaning agents,

–

stainless steel cleaning agents,

–

dishwasher cleaner,

–

– oven sprays,

– glass cleaning agents,

– hard, abrasive sponges and

brushes, e.g. pot scourers,

– melamine eraser blocks,

– sharp metal scrapers,

– steam cleaning appliances.

46

* See "Optional accessories"

Cleaning and care

Checking the filters in the
wash cabinet

The filter combination in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse soil from
the suds solution, preventing it
accessing the circulation system and
re-entering the cabinet through the
spray arms.

This dishwasher must not be

,

used without all the filters in place.

Collection of coarse soil may cause the
filters to clog. The level of soiling and
time it takes before the filters need
cleaning will vary depending on use.

The message
in the display after every 50 programme
cycles (factory default setting).

You can set the interval for this
message to appear to between 30
and 60 programme cycles (see
"Settings menu, Check filters").

Check filters will appear

Cleaning the filters

Switch the dishwasher off.

^

^ Turn the handle anti-clockwise to

release the filter combination a.

^ Lift the filter combination out of the

dishwasher b. Remove any coarse
particles and rinse the filter well
under running water. Use a nylon
brush if necessary.

^

Check the filter combination.

^

Clean it, if necessary.

^

Confirm the message with the middle
button.

The display will change to show the
main menu.

,

Make sure that when cleaning
the filters, no coarse soil falls into the
circulation system, causing a
blockage.

47

Cleaning and care

To clean the inside of the filter, the flap
must be opened:

^ Press catches a together in the

direction of the arrows as shown, and
open the filter b.

^ Rinse all the filters under running

water.

^ Then close the flap so that the catch

engages.

Replace the filter combination so that

^

it lies flat in the base of the wash
cabinet.

^ Then turn the handle clockwise to

lock the filter combination in place.

,

Take care when you are fitting
the filter combination that it is
secured in position correctly.
Otherwise coarse soil could get into
the circulation system and cause a
blockage.

48

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
and cleaned regularly (approx. every
4 - 6 months).

Switch the dishwasher off.

^

Remove the spray arms as follows:

Take out the cutlery tray (if your

^

dishwasher is fitted with one).

Push the top spray arm upwards to

^

engage the inner ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm.

Remove the lower basket.

^

^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly

upwards to remove it.

^

Push the middle spray arm upwards
a to engage the ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm b.

Maintenance

Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw
connection of the valve on the water
inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned
when dirty, otherwise insufficient water
flows into the wash cabinet.

The plastic housing of the water

,

connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped in
water.

Recommendation

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

Cleaning the filter:

^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the

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

^

Close the stopcock.

^

Unscrew the inlet hose.

Carefully remove the seal.

^

^ Withdraw the filter using pointed

pliers and rinse clean under running
water.

^ Replace the filter and seal, making

sure they are sitting correctly.

^ Reconnect the inlet hose to the

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

^

Turn on the stopcock gradually to
test for leaks. If there is a leak, the
inlet hose might not be on securely,
or it may have been screwed on at an
angle. Unscrew and reconnect the
water inlet valve correctly.

60

Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve

If the water has not been pumped away
at the end of a programme the drain
pump or the non-return valve might be
blocked. They are, however, easy to
clean.

Disconnect the dishwasher from the

^

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

Take the filter combination out of the

^

wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and
care - Checking the filters in the wash
cabinet").

^ Scoop the water out of the cabinet

using a suitable container or utensil.

Maintenance

The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).

^ Remove all foreign objects from the

drain pump (watch out for glass or
bone splinters which are particularly
difficult to detect and could cause
injury). Turn the drain pump impeller
by hand to check that there are no
more obstructions. You will feel a little
resistance when you turn the
impeller.

^

Press the catch for the non-return
valve inwards a.

^

Lift out the non-return valve b, and
rinse well under running water.

^

Remove all foreign objects from the
non-return valve.

^

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

,

Ensure that the catch engages
correctly.

Be very careful not to damage
sensitive components when
cleaning the drain pump and the
non-return valve.

The Miele waterproof anti-leak
system

Providing your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele waterproof
anti-leak system will protect you from
water damage throughout its lifetime.

Connection to the water
supply

Water in the dishwasher must

,

not be used as drinking water.

The dishwasher may be connected

–

to a cold or hot water supply, max.
60 °C. We would only recommend
connection to a hot water supply if it
is economical, e.g. a solar powered
supply. When connected to a hot
water supply all programme stages
which would otherwise be carried out
with cold water will be carried out
with hot water.

– The Without heater programme (if

available) requires a hot water
supply of between 45 °C (minimum)
and 60 °C (maximum).
The higher the water intake
temperature, the better the cleaning
and drying results.

– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.

A 1.5 metre long flexible metal
extension hose, pressure tested to
14,000 kPa/ 140 bar, is available as
an optional accessory if required.

–

A stopcock with a
must be provided on site.

national regulations permit.

69

Plumbing

The water pressure (flow pressure at

–

the take-off point) must be between
30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message

fault

will appear in the display (see
Problem solving guide).
If the water pressure is too high, a

plumbing connections are
watertight.

Water inlet

To avoid any damage to the

,

appliance, the dishwasher must only
be connected to a fully vented
plumbing system.

! The inlet hose must not be

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

70

Drainage

The appliance drainage system is

–

fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.

The dishwasher is supplied with

–

approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose
with an internal diameter of 22 mm.

The drain hose can be extended

–

using a connection piece to attach a
further length of hose.
The drainage length must not be
longer than 4 m, and the delivery
head must not exceed 1 m.

– If the hose is to be directly fitted to

the drainage outlet on site, use the
hose clip supplied (see installation
diagram).

– The hose can be directed to the left

or the right of the appliance.

Plumbing

After connecting the dishwasher to
the drainage system, check that all
plumbing connections are
watertight.

Venting the drainage system

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

To vent it:

^ Open the dishwasher door fully.

– The on-site connector for the drain

hose can be adapted to different
widths of hose. If the connector
protrudes too far into the drain hose,
it will need to be shortened.
Otherwise the drain hose may
become blocked.

–

The drain hose must not be
shortened.

,

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

^

Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.

^

Cut off the top of the vent valve in the
wash cabinet.

deactivated if wished. The display and
the indicator lights will not go out, and
the time lapse before the dishwasher
switches off will increase to approx. 6
hours, resulting in higher energy
consumption.

confirm your selection with the
middle button.

The dishwasher will not switch into
Standby mode whilst a programme
is running, if salt or rinse aid needs
to be replenished or there is a fault.

If you only use combination
products containing salt and rinse
aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch off the reminders to replenish
salt and rinse aid so that the
dishwasher will go into Standby
despite a lack of salt or rinse aid
(see "Before using for the first time").
You cannot switch off fault
messages.

Replenish salt and rinse aid
reminders

If you only ever use combination
products containing salt and rinse aid
in your dishwasher, you can switch
both of these reminders off if you wish.
The DetergentAgent function will not be
affected by this.

^ Select the setting you want, and

confirm your selection with the
middle button.

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.
