7
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct application
This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and
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.
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 recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appli-
ance unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the dishwasher unsuper-
vised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the dishwasher and do
not let them play with it. There is a danger that children playing might
shut themselves in the dishwasher.
If the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is
active keep young children away from the area in which the door
opens. Danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the opening mechanism.
Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.
Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents can
cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is
open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. Seek
medical attention immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
A damaged dishwasher is dangerous. Check it for any recognis-
able damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket using a suitable fused plug (it must
not be hard-wired). The electrical socket must be easily accessible
after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from
the electricity supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher.
Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be
pushed up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radi-
ant 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.
To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply before connecting the
dishwasher to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mech-
anism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
whilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model)
is active.
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
– the door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They
are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left
half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the
door cannot fall open.
– the door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens
at the end of the drying phase.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard).
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.
To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only
be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped in water.
There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not shorten
the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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 is turned off during longer absences from the home
(e.g. whilst on holiday).
The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched
off. However, the appliance must remain connected to the electricity
supply.
The water pressure (flow pressure at the take-off point) must be
between 50 and 1000kPa (0.5 and 10bar).
If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains imme-
diately and call your Miele Dealer or the Miele Service Department.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply (switch it off
and withdraw the plug from the socket).
If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a
special cable of the same type (available from Miele). For safety reasons this work must be carried out by a Miele authorised service
technician only.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be
used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room
lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised
person or the Miele Service Department.
Correct installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the installation sheet supplied.
Take care, both before and during installation of the dish-
washer, 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-un-
der ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion
kit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a Umodel plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused by
protruding metal parts.
The door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They
are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left
half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the
door cannot fall open.
The appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted door
springs.
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 deter-
gents 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.
You could injure yourself on the open dishwasher door or trip over
it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dish-
washer to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.
Dishes can be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow them
to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-
washers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may
cause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you
have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling
the salt reservoir!
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or
gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair
the functioning of the water softener.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cut-
lery 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 should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the "FlexiTimer/Delay start" option (depending on
model), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent.
Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.
Please observe the information given in "Technical data" regarding
the capacity of the dishwasher.
Accessories
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts 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 accident-
ally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.
15
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also responsible (by law, depending on country) for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed
of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.
16
Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity.
You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips:
– For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
– Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
– Select the ECO programme (depend-
ing on model) 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.
Caring for the environment
– When using powder or liquid deter-
gent you can use 1/3 less detergent if
baskets are only half full.
– If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply for further economies. If the water is heated
by for example, solar panels, this
would be energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity we would recommend connection to cold water.
17
Before using for the first time
Opening the door
In some programmes the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying
process.
This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see "Programme options,
AutoOpen").
Pull the handle to open the door.
Open the door completely to re-en-
gage the door closing mechanism.
Then raise the door up, and push un-
til it clicks into position.
Danger of injury.
Do not put your hand inside the door
as it is closing.
If the door is opened during operation
all functions are automatically interrupted.
Water in the dishwasher may be
hot. Danger of scalding.
Only open the door during operation
if absolutely necessary and exercise
extreme caution when doing so.
Keep the area around the door
free of obstructions.
Closing the door
Push the baskets right in.
18
Before using for the first time
Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in a
build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
the dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6mmol/l
(70°d - German scale).
– The water softener requires dish-
washer salt.
Depending on the water hardness
level (< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21°d - German
scale), dishwasher salt is not required
if combination tablets are being used
(see "Operation, Detergent").
– The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed to the correct water hardness for your area.
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).
If this setting corresponds to the hardness of your water you do not need to
do anything more.
However, if you have a different water
hardness you must adjust the water
softener to match your water hardness.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
– Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7mmol/l (10 15°d - German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher
value (2.7mmol/l or 15°d in this example).
In the event of a fault, it will help the
service technician if you know the hardness of your local water supply.
19
Before using for the first time
Displaying and setting the water hardness
Open the door.
Switch the dishwasher off with the
button, if it is switched on.
Press the programme selector button
in, and whilst holding it in switch
the dishwasher on using the button.
Keep the programme selector button
pressed in for at least four seconds
until the lower right hand programme
indicator comes on.
If this does not happen, start the procedure from the beginning again.
Press the button twice.
The indicator will flash rapidly twice
at intervals.
The value set for the water hardness is
shown as a figure after in the display
(see chart).
will start flashing in the display.
This is the factory default setting of
15°d.
Use the programme selector button
to select the value which equates
to your water hardness level.
Each press on the button moves you
up a level. When the highest water
hardness level is reached, the setting
starts from the beginning again.
The setting is now stored in memory.
Switch the dishwasher off with the
button.

Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time, you require:
– approx. 2 litres of water,
– approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,
– domestic dishwasher detergent,
– rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an indication that it has been used previously.
Dishwasher salt
In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in a
build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
the dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70
°d - German scale).
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l
(5 °d - German scale) you do not
have to add dishwasher salt. The
prompt to add salt will be switched off
automatically if the water softener has
been programmed for this to happen.
Dishwasher detergent will dam-
age the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Other salts may contain insoluble ad-
ditives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
The water softener requires dishwasher
salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - German scale),
dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see
"Operation, Detergent").
22
Adding salt
Before filling the salt reservoir with
dishwasher salt for the first time, you
must fill it with approx. 2 litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used,
there is always sufficient water in the
reservoir.
Remove the lower basket and un-
screw 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
depending on the brand used.
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again firmly.
Immediately after filling the salt reser-
voir, run the Quick wash programme
with the Short programme option selected and without any crockery in
the dishwasher, to remove any traces
of salt from the cabinet.
23
Before using for the first time
Add salt reminder
Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt when the salt indicator light
comes on. (If it comes on during a
programme, wait until the end of the
programme).
Risk of corrosion.
Immediately after filling the salt
reservoir, run the Quick wash programme with the Short programme
option selected and without any
crockery in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the refill indicator may still be lit up if
the salt concentration has not yet
reached the correct level. It will go out
when the correct concentration is
reached.
The refill reminder will not come on if
you have programmed the dishwasher
for a water hardness below 0.9mmol/l
(5°d - German scale).
If you only ever use combination
products in your dishwasher, you can
switch both refill reminders for salt
and rinse aid off if you wish (see "Programme options - Refill reminders").
If you switch to using detergent that
does not contain salt or rinse aid, it
is important to remember to add salt
and rinse aid and to switch the reminders back on.
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 washing-up liquid or
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 con-
tent
If you only ever use combination
products containing rinse aid in your
dishwasher, you do not need to add
rinse aid.
Adding rinse aid
Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
will not, however, be as good as when
rinse aid is used.
Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence
25% acid).
This would damage the dishwasher.
25
Before using for the first time
Rinse aid refill reminder
When the Rinse aid indicator lights up,
the rinse aid reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2-3 programmes
only.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
If you only ever use combination
products in your dishwasher, you can
switch both refill reminders for salt
and rinse aid off if you wish (see "Programme options, Refill reminders").
Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.110ml.
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.
If you switch to using detergent that
does not contain salt or rinse aid, it
is important to remember to add salt
and rinse aid and to switch the reminders back on.
26
Before using for the first time
Setting the rinse aid dosage
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for
best results.
The rinse aid dosage can be set in
steps from 0 to 6. The factory default
setting is 3. This is the recommended
setting.
The rinse aid dosage can turn out to be
higher than the set value due to the
automatic adjustment of the programme.
If spots appear on crockery and glassware:
Increase the rinse aid dosage.
If clouding or smearing appears on
crockery and glassware:
Decrease the rinse aid dosage.

Notes
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 will
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 in-
side 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.
– 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 dishwasher on the
crockery. The stability of plastic
items is not affected by this discolouration.
Cleaning silver cutlery in the dishwasher may also cause plastic items
to discolour.
– 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.
– 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.
