IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This dishwasher complies with current safety requirements. Inap‐ propriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the dishwasher, please read the installation plan and the operating instructions carefully before it is installed and used for the first time. They con‐ tain important information on its installation, safety, use and main‐ tenance.

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

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compli‐ ance with this information.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

 This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and

similar residential environments.

 This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.  It must only be used as specified in these operating instructions

for cleaning domestic dishware and cutlery. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.

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

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety with children

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

constantly supervised.

 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play

with the appliance. Keep small children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the risk of injury. There is the risk that children may lock 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 open‐ ing mechanism.

 Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,

etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.

 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

 Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be per‐

formed by a Miele-authorized service technician. Work by unquali‐ fied persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.

 Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of dam‐

age. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dishwash‐ er. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.

 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between it and an effective grounding system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the elec‐ trical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electri‐ cian. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate grounding system (e.g. electric shock).

 Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assur‐

ed if it has been connected to the electrical supply.

 The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply

via a suitable switched socket using a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact (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. There

is a danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher is 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the

connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage, and frequen‐ cy) matches the electrical supply before connecting the dishwasher to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

 Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply until it has

been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door springs.

 The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mecha‐

nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger while the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on 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 electrical supply by a multi-

socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the re‐ quired safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

 This appliance must not be installed and operated in a non-sta‐

tionary 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 module may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

 The water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must

be between 4.35 - 145 psi.

 A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets

damaged, turn off the electrical supply and contact Miele.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is

not repaired by a Miele-authorized service technician.

 Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts

only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safe‐ ty of the appliance.

 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance

must be disconnected from the electrical supply (turn it off and with‐ draw 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) by a Miele-au‐ thorized service technician only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper installation

 The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance

with the installation plan.

 Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protective

gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.

 The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure

problem-free operation.

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

ers must only be installed under a continuous counter which is se‐ cured 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 toe-kick, 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper use

 Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!  Do not inhale or ingest powder 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 in‐ haled.

 Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip

over it and be injured by it.

 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 a program. 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 dishwashing liquid.

 Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may

cause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical re‐ action (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.

IMPORTANT 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 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 dish‐ washer may cause them to melt or lose shape.

 If you use the "FlexiTimer/Delay Start" option (depending on mod‐

el), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dis‐ penser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.

 Please observe the information given in "Technical data" regard‐

ing the capacity of the dishwasher.

Accessories

 Use only genuine original Miele parts. If spare parts or accesso‐

ries from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

 Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot acciden‐

tally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of packaging material

The cardboard box and packaging pro‐ tect the appliance during shipping. These materials are biodegradable and recyclable. Please recycle.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances may contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact your local recycling authority about the possibility of recycling these materials.

Please be sure that your old appliance does not pose a danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is economical in the use of water and electricity. For best re‐ sults follow these tips:

– For most economical dishwashing,

make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher.

– Choose a program that best suits the

degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.

– Select the Economy program (de‐

pending on model) for energy-saving dishwashing. This program is the most efficient in terms of its com‐ bined energy and water consumption at cleaning normally soiled dishware.

– Follow the detergent manufacturer's

recommendations on detergent dos‐ age.

– When using powder or liquid deter‐

gent, you can use 1/3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.

– The dishwasher can be connected to

a hot water supply for further econo‐ mies. If the water is heated by for ex‐ ample, solar panels, this would be energy efficient. However, if your water is heated by electricity we would recommend con‐ nection to cold water.

You can find additional tips on energysaving dishwashing in "Miele's guide to dishwashing".

Before using for the first time

Opening the door

At the end of programs with a drying phase (see "Program overview"), the door will open automatically a little in order to help the drying process. This function can be deactivated if pre‐ ferred (see "Settings menu AutoOpen").

 Pull the handle to open the door.  Open the door fully so that the door

catch rail retracts again.

Closing the door

 Push the baskets in.  Then lift the door upwards and push

until it clicks into position.

 Danger of crushing injuries!

Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.

If the door is opened during operation, all functions are automatically interrupt‐ ed.

 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.

Before using for the first time

Basic settings

 Open the door.  Turn the dishwasher on with the 

button.

The welcome screen will appear when the dishwasher is turned on for the first time.

Language

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

 Use the  arrow sensors to select

the language you want and also the country, if appropriate, and confirm your selection with OK.

To learn about the display, read the section with the same name.

A check  will appear next to the lan‐ guage that has been set.

Time of day

The display will then change to the screen for setting the time.

The current time of day must be set be‐ fore you can use the "FlexiTimer" pro‐ gram option.

 Use the  arrow buttons to set the

hour and confirm with OK.

 Then set the minutes and confirm

with OK.

Keeping the  arrow buttons press‐ ed will increase or decrease the time automatically.

Before using for the first time

Water hardness

The display changes to the water hard‐ ness setting.

– The dishwasher must be program‐

med for the water hardness in your area.

– Your local water supplier can tell you

the water hardness level in your area.

– Where the water hardness fluctuates

e.g. between 10 - 16 gr/gal (10 - 15 °d), always program the dishwasher to the higher value (16 gr/gal or 15 °d in this example).

It is useful to know your water hardness so that you can provide the service technician with this information in the event of any service calls.

Enter the water hardness below: ____________ gr/gal (°d) The dishwasher is programmed at the

factory for a water hardness level of 1 gr/gal (1 °d).

The message Set-up successfully com-

pleted will then appear in the display.

After confirming this with OK, the prompts  Refill salt and  Refill rinse aid may appear.

 Add salt and rinse aid if necessary

(see "Before using for the first time -

Dishwasher salt" and "Rinse aid").  Confirm the messages with OK. The program selected will appear briefly

in the display and the appropriate indi‐ cator light will come on. Then, the display will show the estimat‐ ed program duration for the program selected.

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

 Use the  arrow buttons to select

the hardness of your water supply and confirm with OK.

See "Settings menu - Water hardness" for more information.

Before using for the first time

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

– Approx. 2 qt (2 l) of water – Approx. 2 kg (4 lbs) of dishwasher

salt – Domestic dishwasher detergent – Rinse aid formulated for domestic

dishwashers

Every dishwasher is tested at the fac‐ tory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an in‐ dication that it has been used previ‐ ously.

Dishwasher salt

In order to achieve good cleaning re‐ sults, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in a build-up of calcium deposits on dish‐ ware and in the dishwasher. Water supplies with a hardness level higher than 4 gr/gal (4 °d) needs to be softened. This takes place automatical‐ ly in the integrated water softener. The water softener in the dishwasher is suit‐ able for a water hardness level of up to 73 gr/gal (70 °d).

If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 5 gr/gal (5 °d) you do not have to add dish‐ washer salt. The prompt to add salt will be switched off automatically.

 Dishwasher detergent will de‐

stroy the water softener. Do not fill the salt container with

dishwasher detergent (even liquid detergent).

 Use only special, coarse-grained

dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen salt.

Other types of salt may contain in‐ soluble components which can dam‐ age the water softener.

The water softener requires dishwasher salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 22 gr/gal or 21 °d), dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see "Operation - Deter‐ gent").

Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir

Important! Before filling the salt res‐ ervoir with dishwasher salt for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 qt (2 l) of water to enable the salt to dissolve.

Once the dishwasher has been used for the first time, there is always suf‐ ficient water in the reservoir.

 Remove the lower basket and un‐

screw the salt reservoir cap.

Water 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 qt (2 l)

of water (first use only).

 Place the funnel provided over the

salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 4 lbs (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 Express program with the Short program option selected and without any dishware in the dish‐ washer to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

Before using for the first time

Salt refill indicator

 Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher

salt for reactivation when  Refill salt appears in the display (If it appears during a program, wait until the end

of the program).  Confirm with OK. The salt refill indicator will go out.

 Risk of corrosion!

Immediately after filling the salt res‐ ervoir, run the Express program with the Short program option selected and without any dishware in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill indicator may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. If this is the case, confirm again with OK.

The salt refill indicator will be switched off if you have programmed the dish‐ washer for a water hardness below 5 gr/gal (5 °d).

If you only ever use Tab products in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill indicators for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see "Settings menu 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 add dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to switch the indicators back on.

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is needed to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware. The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir and the set amount will be automatically dosed.

 Filling the rinse aid reservoir with

detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the res‐ ervoir.

When using "Tab" detergents rinse aid is not needed.

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.

 Add rinse aid only until it is visible in

the opening.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.

3.7 oz. (110 ml).

 Close the flap firmly so that it clicks

into place. Otherwise water can enter

the rinse aid reservoir during a pro‐

gram.

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid indicator

When the  Refill rinse aid message ap‐ pears in the display, the reservoir con‐ tains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 pro‐ grams only.

 Add rinse aid.  Confirm with OK.

The rinse aid refill indicator will go out.

If you only ever use Tab products in your dishwasher, you can turn off both refill indicators for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see "Settings menu - Turn‐ ing off the refill indicators").

 Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This

prevents over-foaming occurring dur‐

ing the next program.

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

Loading the dishwasher

Tips

Remove coarse food residues from the dishware.

There is no need to rinse items under running water!

 Do not wash items soiled with

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

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

– Do not place dishes or cutlery inside

other pieces. They will cover each other.

– Load the dishware 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 bas‐ kets. Small items, e.g., lids, should there‐ fore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model).

Some foods may contain natural dyes, e.g., carrots, tomatoes or to‐ mato sauce. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolor if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the dishwasher on the dishware. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolor‐ ation. Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish‐ washer may also cause plastic items to discolor.

– 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 center of the basket to ensure better water coverage.

– Concave items such as mugs or

bowls should be placed at an angle so that the water can run off.

– 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 rotat‐ ing the spray arms.

Loading the dishwasher

Items not recommended for dish‐ washing

– Wooden cutlery, cutting boards and

dishware or items with wooden parts

– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,

and decorative glassware

– Plastic items which are not heat-re‐

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

– Copper, brass, tin and aluminum

items may discolor or become matt.

– Colors painted over a glaze may fade

after a number of washes.

– Delicate glassware and glassware

containing lead crystal: clouding may occur over time.

Please note: Silverware previously cleaned with a

silver polish may still be damp or spot‐

ted at the end of a program, where wa‐ ter has not run off smoothly. It may need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.

Glass care

– Clouding may occur on glasses after

frequent washing. If delicate glass‐ ware is washed in the dishwasher, ensure that only very low tempera‐ tures are used (see program chart), or a special glass-care program is used (depending on model). This will re‐ duce the risk of clouding.

– Purchase glassware which is dish‐

washer-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware).

– Use detergents with glass protective

additives (e.g., Miele CareCollection tabs).

– Visit "http://www.mieleglass‐

care.com/international/en/glasscare/ english" for more information on glass care.

Silver which has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolor. These include egg yolk, onions, mayon‐ naise, mustard, fish, and marinades.

 Aluminum components (e.g.,

range hood grease filters) must not be cleaned with a commercial or in‐ dustrial cleaning agent.

These may damage the material.

Tip: When purchasing new dishware and cutlery, make sure they are dish‐ washer-safe.

Cleaning and care

Check and clean your dishwasher regularly. This will help avoid prob‐ lems and faults.

 All surfaces are susceptible to

scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning

agents can alter or discolor all surfa‐ ces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

Generally, the wash cabinet is self cleaning if the correct amount of deter‐ gent is used.

If, however, there are lime scale or grease deposits in the cabinet, these can be removed with a special dish‐ washer cleaner (see "Optional accesso‐ ries"). Follow the instructions on the packaging.

If you mainly use low temperature pro‐ grams (< 120°F/50 °C), there is a risk of bacteria and unpleasant odors building up in the wash cabinet. To prevent this happening the dishwasher will automat‐ ically increase the temperature in the fi‐ nal rinse of the selected program after several programs using low tempera‐ tures have been run.

Cleaning the door and the door seal

Bacteria could build up on the door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door as these surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets.

 Wipe the door seals regularly with a

damp cloth to remove food deposits.

 Wipe off any food or drink residues

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

Cleaning the control panel

 The control panel should only be

wiped with a damp cloth.

Cleaning the indicator reflector panel

The indicator reflector panel for the Op‐ tical Interface / TimeControl function (depending on model) is situated in the cover plate underneath the counter.

 The indicator reflector panel should

only be wiped with a damp cloth or a suitable cleaning agent designed for use on plastic.

 Clean the filters in the wash cabinet

regularly.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door front

 If soiling remains longer, it may

happen that the surfaces can be‐ come discolored or changed.

Remove any soiling immediately.

 Clean the front with a solution of

warm water and a little dishwashing liquid applied with a soft sponge. Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

 Glass cleaners may be used to

clean the exterior. However do not allow them to sit or "puddle", this can cause damage to the surface.

Remove the cleaner promptly.

To better maintain your appliance avoid the following:

– Cleaning products containing soda,

ammonia, acid, or chloride – Descaling agents – Abrasive cleaning products, such as

scouring powder, scouring liquid, or

pumice stones, – Cleaners containing solvents – Stainless steel cleaners – Dishwasher cleaner – Oven cleaners – Glass cleaner – Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,

e.g., pot scourers, brushes or spong‐

es which have been previously used

with abrasive cleaning agents – Eraser sponges – Sharp metal scrapers

– Steel wool – Steam cleaning appliances

Cleaning and care

Filter system

The filter system in the base of the wash cabinet prevents food from being redeposited on dishes. It also protects the circulation pump from damage caused by foreign objects.

 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 Check filters will appear in the display after every 50 program cy‐ cles (factory default setting).

You can set the interval for the "Check filters" message to appear to a value between 30 and 60 program cycles (see "Settings menu - Check filters").

 Check the filter system.  Clean it if necessary.  Then confirm the message with OK.

The message will go out.

Filter system

 Turn the dishwasher off.

 Turn the handle counter-clockwise to

release the filter system .

 Lift the filter system out of the dish‐

washer . Remove any coarse parti‐ cles and rinse the filter well under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.

 Ensure that course soil does not

get into the circulation system and cause a blockage.

Cleaning and care

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

 Press catches  together in the di‐

rection of the arrows as shown, and open the filter .

 Rinse all the filters under running wa‐

ter.

 Then close the flap so that the catch

engages.

 Replace the filter system so that it

lies flat in the base of the wash cabi‐ net.

 Then turn the handle clockwise until

both arrows point towards each oth‐ er. This will lock the filter system in place.

 Take care when you are fitting

the filter system that it is secured in position correctly.

Otherwise coarse soil could get into the circulation system and cause a blockage.

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).

 Turn the dishwasher off. Remove the spray arms as follows:  Take out the cutlery tray (if your dish‐

washer is fitted with one).

 Push the top spray arm upwards to

engage the inner ratchet. Then un‐ screw the spray arm.

Cleaning and care

Water connection

Connection to the water sup‐ ply

 Water in the dishwasher must

not be used as drinking water.

– The dishwasher may be connected to

a cold or hot water supply up to a maximum of 140°F/60°C. We would only recommend connec‐ tion to a hot water supply if it is eco‐ nomical, e.g. a solar-powered supply. When connected to a hot water sup‐ ply, all program stages which would otherwise be carried out with cold water will be carried out with hot wa‐ ter.

– The Energy Saver program (if availa‐

ble) requires a hot water supply be‐ tween 115°F/45°C (minimum) and 140°F/60°C (maximum). The higher the water intake tempera‐ ture, the better the cleaning and dry‐ ing results.

– Water pressure: Must be between

4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar) If the wa‐

ter pressure is lower than this, the

fault message Intake will appear in

the display (see "Frequently asked

questions"). If the water pressure is

too high, a pressure reducer valve

must be fitted.

After connecting the dishwasher to the water supply, check that the wa‐ ter intake is airtight.

 To avoid any damage to the ap‐

pliance, the dishwasher must only be connected to fully vented pipework.

 The intake hose must not be

shortened or damaged in any way as it contains electrical components.

– The intake hose is approx. 4' 11"/

1.5 m long. A 1.5 m long flexible met‐ al extension hose (pressure tested to 2,030 psi) is available as an optional accessory, if required.

– A faucet with a 3/8" male thread

must be provided on site.

– This appliance is constructed to

comply with ANSI/ASSE 1001 // IEC/EN/DIN 61770 // VDE 0700 Part 600, and may be connected to a suit‐ able supply without an extra non-re‐ turn valve if national regulations per‐ mit.

Water connection

Drainage

– The machine comes equipped with a

built-in non-return valve on the dis‐ charge side to prevent waste water from flowing back into the dishwash‐ er.

– Take the drain line of the dishwasher

and attach the drain line as high as possible under the counter rim of the kitchen sink before connecting the end to the drain. The loop will serve to prevent a backed up drain or large volume of water in the sink from si‐ phoning back into the dishwasher.

– The dishwasher is supplied with ap‐

prox. 5' 11" (1.5 m) of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).

– The drain hose can be extended us‐

ing extensions and adapters. The drainage length must not be longer than 13' 1 1/2" (4 m) and the delivery head must not exceed 3' 3 3/8" (1 m).

 Make sure that there are no

kinks in the hose, and that it is not squashed or stretched.

After servicing the appliance, ensure that the drain does not leak.

Venting the drain

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

 To vent: open the dishwasher door

fully.

– If the hose is to be directly fitted to

the drainage outlet on site, use the hose clip supplied (see installation di‐ agram).

– 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 pro‐ trudes 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 short‐

ened.

 Pull the lower spray arm firmly up‐

wards to remove it.

 Cut off the top of the vent valve in the

wash cabinet.
