Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of
~
damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dishwasher. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply
~
via a suitable switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher has been 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 cooktop. The high
~
radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktop could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason, it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as heaters etc.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has
~
been fully installed, including the adjustment of the door springs.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data
~
on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
~
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected 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 via a
~
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
~
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
~
frost occuring. Frozen hoses may burst or split, and the reliability of the electronic unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical
~
valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.
There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Never 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 appliance is properly maintained and parts are replaced
where it can be seen that this is necessary.
– The tap has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a
longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).
The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off. However, the appliance must remain connected to the electricity supply.
A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher
~
gets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and call Miele.
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.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
~
original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
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 by a
~
Miele approved service technician only in order to protect the user from danger.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
~
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
~
with the installation instructions.
Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear
~
protective gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free
~
operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated
~
dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a
~
built-under ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion kit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a U-model plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused by protruding metal parts.
The door springs on either side need to be evenly adjusted. They
~
are correctly adjusted if the half-opened door (approx. 45° door opening angle) remains in this position when it is released. The door must not fall down under its own weight.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!
~
Avoid inhalation of powder detergents. 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.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as you could trip over
~
it.
Dishes can be very hot at the end of a programme.
~
Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.
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.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid
~
dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.
Miele recommends using specially designed dishwasher salt to
~
maximize the performance of your dishwasher and to prevent a build-up of calcium and limescale in the dishwasher cabinet, especially if you live in a hard water area. Dishwasher salt can be purchased online at www.miele-shop.com (depending on country) or directly from Miele. Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
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, forks and other utensils with sharp points 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 dispensed.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
~
dishwasher. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Disposal of your old dishwasher
Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot
~
accidentally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of the door lock.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
16
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packing material protects the dryer from transport damage. The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
The packaging consists of the following materials:
Outer packaging:
Corrugated cardboard made from up
to 100% recyclable material: or: Polyethylene (PE) protective 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
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are recycled.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre. You can also contact your Chartered Agent for advice.
Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
To enable sorting by type of plastic for recycling, all plastic parts of the appliance are labelled with international standard symbols.
17
Caring for the environment
Energy saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips:
If your household water system is
^
suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply for further economies. If the water is heated by for example, solar panels, 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 "Energy save" programme
for energy-saving dishwashing. This programme is the most efficient in terms of energy and water consumption for 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.

– any relevant fault messages and
notes
To save energy, the dishwasher will switch off after a few minutes if no buttons are pressed (see Operation ­Standby). To switch the dishwasher back on, press the K button.
Settings menu
The "Settings menu" is used to alter the dishwasher's electronics to suit different requirements. The Settings menu can be accessed by pressing a particular combination of buttons. See "Settings menu" for more details.
In the Settings menu, the normal functions of the buttons underneath the display are switched off so that these buttons can be used to select and confirm setting options.
The arrows on the left and right of the display indicate further options. You can select these further options by using the left or right arrow buttons underneath the display.
20
The OK (Turbo) 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 OK (Turbo) 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.
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:
mmol/l or °d
The dishwasher is set at the factory for a hardness level of 0.2 mmol/l (1 °d).
Select the water hardness level for
^
your area, and confirm your selection with the OK (Turbo) button.
See "Settings - Water hardness" for further information.
Finally, two messages will appear in the display.
After confirming these, the prompts
( Add rinse aid and F Add salt may
also appear. Press any button to confirm these. The display will change to show the main menu.
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.
Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 °d German scale), always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (3.1 mmol/l in this example).
These settings will be saved in memory after the dishwasher has been through one complete programme.
21
Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time, you require:
approx. 2 litres of water,
approx. 2 kg of dishwasher salt,
domestic dishwasher detergent,
rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that it has been used previously.
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 softener unit. The softener unit is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70 °d).
If the water hardness in your area is constantly lower than 4 °d (= 0.7 mmol/l), you do not need to add salt. The water softener unit must, however, still be programmed to correspond to the water hardness level in your area. The Add salt message will be deactivated automatically.
Important! Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the reservoir.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener unit.
The water softener unit requires reactivation salt. Depending on the water hardness level (ß 21 °d), dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see "Detergent").
22
Miele recommends using
,
specially designed dishwasher salt to maximize the performance of your dishwasher and to prevent a build-up of calcium and limescale in the dishwasher cabinet, especially if you live in a hard water area. Dishwasher salt can be purchased online at www.mieleshop.com.au or directly from Miele. Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
^ Remove the lower basket and
unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed. It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir.
^
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use only).
Before using for the first time
Place the funnel provided over the
^
salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt.
^ Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.
^ Run the Quick wash programme im-
mediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher, and without selecting the Turbo function) to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
23
Before using for the first time
Salt indicator
Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
^
salt for reactivation when the F
message appears. (If it appears
salt
during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).
Confirm by pressing the OK (Turbo)
^
button.
The "Add salt" message will go out.
After the salt reservoir has been filled, the "Add 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 OK (Turbo) button again.
The salt indicator is deactivated when the dishwasher has been programmed to a water hardness level below
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d).
Add
If you only ever use combination products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can switch the indicators off if you wish (see "Settings - Switching off the refill indicators").
If you switch to using detergent that does not contain salt or rinse aid, it is important to remember to replenish the salt and rinse aid and to switch the refill indicators back on.
,
Run the Quick wash programme immediately (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 damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
– household vinegar with a max. 5%
acid content
or
– liquid citric acid up to 10% acid
content.
Adding rinse aid
^ Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.
,
Do not use vinegar with a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar essence 25% acid). This would damage the dishwasher.
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.
Rinse aid indicator
When the ( Add rinse aid message appears, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for2-3programmes only.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
^
Confirm by pressing the OK (Turbo)
^
button.
The "Add 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 indicators off if you wish (see "Settings - Switching off the refill indicators").
Ensure that you refill salt and rinse aid and switch on the refill indicators again if you are not using combination products.
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 materials will cause damage to 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.
Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.
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 tomato sauce. 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.
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 can 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.
Wash particularly 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. 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.
28
,
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.
Loading the dishwasher
Upper basket
For safety reasons, do not
,
operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place (except when running

Adjusting the upper basket
In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the bottom 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 be inserted smoothly into the cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket before loading it.
^ Pull out the upper basket.
Depending on the setting of the upper basket, the following plate dimensions can be accommodated.

3D cutlery tray (depending on model)
^ Arrange the cutlery in the tray as
shown.
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, 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.
^ 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, knives, forks and other utensils with sharp points must be placed with the handles upwards.
Loading the dishwasher
Fit it onto the cutlery basket if
^
required.
^
Place small items of cultlery in the individual slots on three sides of the cutlery basket.
Cutlery insert for the cutlery basket
Use the insert supplied for heavily soiled spoons. The insert separates the items so that they can be more easily accessed by water.
^
Insert cutlery with the handles facing 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 phosphate and are mildly alkaline with enzymes and oxygen based bleaching agents. Phosphate free products are rare.
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.
You can also buy combination products (see "Additional functions ­DetergentAgent", if applicable). 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.
Under certain circumstances unsatisfactory washing and drying results might be noticed when using combination dishwasher detergents. These products contain a combination of detergent and rinse aid or detergent and salt (2 in 1) or detergent, rinse aid and salt (3 in 1). Drying results might not be as good as expected or residues or flecks might be left on crockery. If results are still unsatisfactory, even after seeking advice from the detergent manufacturer, we suggest that you change to a different product or use a traditional dishwasher detergent.
36
Dispensing
Follow the dosage recommended by
^
the manufacturer on the packaging.
Unless directed otherwise, use one
^
detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml 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 programme is used.
Quick wash 40 °C
Operation
Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.
Avoid inhalation of powder de
,
tergents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingre dients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swal lowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep detergent and other house hold 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
Adding detergent
^ Press the opening catch on the
detergent dispenser. The flap will spring open.
The flap is always open at the end of a programme.
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.
^
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.
38
Operation
Switching on
Make sure the spray arms are not
^
obstructed.
Close the door.
^
Turn on the tap if it is turned off.
^
Switch the dishwasher on with the
^
On/Off button K.
The indicator light for the last programme set will be displayed briefly and the corresponding indicator light will come on. The estimated time for the selected programme will be displayed after a short while.
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.
Starting the programme
Press the Start/Stop button.
^
The programme will begin.
If any additional functions have been selected, the relevant indicator light(s) will also come on.
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.
^
Select the programme required with the Programme selector button.
The indicator light next to the selected programme will come on.
You can now select additional functions (see "Additional functions").
39
Operation
Time 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.
Each programme sequence is indicated by a symbol:
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 is partly because of the water temperature at each intake, the reactivation cycle, the type of detergent and partly because of the amount of crockery and how dirty it is.
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.
Standby
To save energy, the dishwasher will switch to Standby mode a few minutes after the last time a button has been pressed or at the end of the programme. The indicator lights and the time display will go out, and only the Start/Stop indicator will flash slowly.
Press any button to switch the
^
display 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 "Additional functions - Optimise standby").
The dishwasher will not switch to Standby mode whilst a programme is running, if salt or rinse aid needs to be refilled, or if there is a fault.
The refill indicators can be switched off if you use combination products and the dishwasher is supposed to go into Standby mode (see "Before using for the first time"). However, a fault message cannot be switched off.
Each time a programme is run, the electronic unit takes the new conditions into account, and calculates the time required.
40
Operation
At the end of a programme
If the message O Finished or
AutoOpen comes up in the display,
and the door has opened slightly, this indicates that the programme has finished.
Open the door fully so that the door
^
catch rail retracts again.
The drying fan will run for a few minutes after the end of the Quick wash programme.
You can now unload the dishwasher (see "Unloading the dishwasher").
If you have deselected 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 with the
^
On/Off button K.
The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until it is switched off with the K button.
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e. g. whilst on holiday, the tap 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.
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.
41
Operation
Interrupting a programme
Operation 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 upwards until the catch engages.
Changing a programme
If the detergent dispenser flap has already opened, do not change the programme.
If a programme has already started and you wish to change it, proceed as follows:
Press the Start/Stop button for at
^
least one second.
The programme will be cancelled.
Select the programme you want, and
^
then start it.

The start time of a programme can be delayed, e.g. to benefit from economy rates of electricity. A Delay start time of between half an hour and 24 hours can be selected. The Delay start time is set in 30-minute increments.
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.
^
Select the programme required with the Programme selector button.
Press the Start/Stop button.
^

press the Delay start button twice.
44
Additional functions
Starting a programme before the Delay start period has elapsed:
A programme can be started before the Delay start period has elapsed. Proceed as follows:
Press the Start/Stop button for at
^
least one second.
The Delay start indicator light will go out and the Start/Stop indicator light will flash.
Press the Start/Stop button again.
^
The programme will begin. The Start/Stop indicator light will light up constantly.
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 enormously.
If you only ever use combination products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can switch the indicators off if you wish (see "Settings ­Switching off the refill indicators"). 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 indicator lights back on.
45
Cleaning and care
Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided.
The outer surfaces of the
,
dishwasher are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the outer 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 the Original Miele dishwasher conditioning agent (available from Miele or at www.miele-shop.com, depending on country). Follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
Cleaning the door and the door seal
Wipe the door seal regularly with a
^
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
When the dishwasher is being
^
loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door.
These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any soiling should be wiped off these surfaces before the door is closed to avoid the formation of mould inside the wash cabinet.
If you only wash at low temperatures (< 50 °C) over a long period of time, organic deposits and unpleasant odours can form in the machine. To clean the wash cabinet and prevent the formation of unpleasant odours, the "Pots & pans 75 °C" programme should be run at least once a month. You should also clean the filters in the wash cabinet on a regular basis.
46
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the door front
Remove any soiling immediately.
,
If not, it might become impossible to remove and could cause the outer surface to alter or discolour.
Clean the front using a sponge, a
^
solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe dry using a soft cloth. For cleaning, you can also use a clean, damp microfibre cloth without any cleaning agent.
To avoid damaging the outer surface, 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 cleaners,
dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
– dirt erasers,
– sharp metal scrapers,
– steam cleaners.
47
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 between 30 and 60 programme cycles (see "Settings menu - Check filters").
Check filters will appear

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 will flow 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 tap and the water inlet hose threaded union. This filter is available from Miele.
Cleaning the filter:
^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug.
^
Close the tap.
^
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 tap,
making sure it goes on correctly and is not cross-threaded.
^
Turn on the tap 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

Repairs
In the event of any faults that you cannot remedy yourself, please contact:
Miele
You will find the telephone number and address of Miele on the back cover of the manual.
When contacting Miele, please quote
^
the model type and serial number of your appliance, both of which are shown on the data plate on the right-hand side of the door.
Future updates
The programme update function is designed to enable a service technician to update your appliance's electronics in keeping with advances in technology.
Information regarding programme updates will be made known by Miele as and when such developments become available.
69
Electrical connection
This dishwasher is supplied with a mains cable and moulded plug ready for connection to an AC single phase supply, (230 V 50 Hz for NZ and Australia) via a fused plug and suitable switched socket.
The electrical socket must be
,
easily accessible after the dishwasher has been installed. Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a Miele approved service technician only in order to protect the user from danger.
Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible. For extra safety, it is advisable to install a suitable residual current device (RCD). The appliance must not be connected to an isolated inverter which is connected to a self-sufficient power supply, e.g. solar power supply. Voltage peaks when the appliance is switched on can cause a safety switch-off and the electronics may also be damaged. The appliance must not be operated in conjunction with energy-saving plugs either as the energy intake of the appliance is reduced and it will overheat.
Before connecting the
,
dishwasher, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and rated load) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Technical data can be found on the data plate on the right-hand side of the door.
70
Water connection
The Miele Waterproof system
Provided that 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. 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, thus saving time and energy costs.
– A warm water connection of at least
45 °C and a maximum of 60 °C (temperature of incoming water) is required for the use of the "Without heater" programme (if available). The higher the temperature of the incoming water, the better the cleaning and drying results will be.
The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
A 1.5 m long flexible metal extension hose, pressure tested to 14000 kPa/ 140 bar, is available as an optional accessory if required.
3
/4" male thread must be provided
A
on site.
The dishwasher is constructed to
comply with Australian regulations, and may be connected to a suitable supply without an extra non-return valve if national regulations allow this.
– 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
will appear in the display (see
fault
"Problem solving guide"). If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducer valve must be fitted.
After commissioning the appliance, ensure that the water inlet does not leak.
Water inlet
71
Water connection
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).
New hose sets supplied with the appliance are to be used. Old hose sets should not be reused.
72
Connection to the drainage system
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).
Water connection
After commissioning the appliance, ensure that the water outlet does not leak.
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 hose can be directed to the left
or the right of the appliance.
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.
