A damaged appliance is dan-
gerous. Switch off at the mains
and call your Miele supplier or the
Miele Service Department.
With the “Waterproof system” the
plastic housing of the water inlet
connection contains an electrical component. The housing must therefore not
be dipped in water.
Never cut the water inlet hose,
even if it is too long. There are live
wires in this hose.
For safety reasons do not operate
this appliance on an extension
cable. (Danger of overheating).
Daily use
Do not use solvents in the dish-
washer. Danger of explosion.
Water in the dishwasher must not
be used as drinking water.
Avoid inhalation of powder deter-
gents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They
can cause burning in the mouth and
throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.
Consult a doctor immediately if detergent
has been swallowed or inhaled.
In an appliance with a cutlery bas-
ket (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 cutlery with sharp points
with the handles upwards.
Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers. Do not use
washing-up liquid.
Only use rinse aid formulated for
domestic dishwashers.
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as
other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning
of the softener.
Plastic items which cannot with-
stand 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.
Do not sit or lean on the opened
door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged and you
could get injured.

Warning and safety instructions
Take care on dishwashers with a
visible heater element
Do not touch the heating element
during or directly after the end of a
programme, you could burn yourself.
Some plastic items could melt or
catch fire if they were to come into
contact with the heating element. Therefore always place plastic items or any
other items which may not be completely heat resistant in the upper basket and ensure they cannot drop down
onto the heater element. Any items
which are too small to be lodged securely in the upper basket should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Safety with children
Do not let small children play with
the dishwasher and its controls or
operate it. There is a danger that children playing might shut themselves in
the dishwasher.
Keep children away from deter-
gents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the mouth
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if
your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
To avoid the danger of children
coming into contact with the dishwasher detergent:

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:
If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply, for further economies.
Although all stages of the wash then
take place with hot water, savings are
made in:
– the use of primary energy
– costs
– programme running time.
If, however, your water is heated by
electricity we would still recommend
connection to cold water.
For most economical dishwashing
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
10
Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
The “Top Solo” function should only
be selected for washing very small
loads of crockery (see “Additional options”).
Select the Economy 45ºC programme for energy-saving dishwashing.
Use the correct amounts of detergent.
Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if
baskets are only half full.
Page 11
Before using for the first time
Before using the machine for
the first time you require:
– approx. 2 litres of water,
– approx. 2 kg dishwasher reactivation

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
the build-up of calcium deposits on
crockery and in the dishwasher. Hence
if mains water hardness is above 4 °d German scale (0.7 mmol/l), the water
should be softened. This takes place
automatically in the integrated water
softener.
– The water softener must be filled
with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
– The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed to correspond to the water
hardness in your area.
– Your local water authority will be
able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
If the hardness of your local supply is
constantly lower than
you do
not need to add dishwasher
salt. The dishwasher must, however,
still be programmed to correspond to
the water hardness level in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 8 - 17 °d (1.4 - 3.1
always programme the machine to the
higher value (17 °d/3.1 mmol/l in this
example).
In the case of a fault, it will help the service technician if you know the hardness of your local water supply.

Filling the salt reservoir
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 always causes serious
damage to the water softener. Make
sure that you have picked up the
right packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir.
Please only use special coarse
grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, as other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the
functioning of the softener.
Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres
of water (first use).
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
salt. The salt reservoir holds approx.
2 kg of salt depending on the brand
used.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced
water will overflow.
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then
screw the cap on again firmly.
16
Run the Pre-wash programme immediately to remove any traces of salt
water from the cabinet.
Page 17
Before using for the first time
Salt indicator
The salt indicator light comes on to notify you that the reservoir is empty.
The reservoir should then be refilled
with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
( See: Filling the salt reservoir)
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is
run. The salt indicator light may still be
illuminated during this process. It will
go out once the salt concentration has
reached the correct level.
Note
If the water in your area is very soft
(below 4 °d / 0.7 mmol) you do not
need to add salt to the reservoir. The
salt indicator light, however, will still
come on. It should be ignored.
(See “After sales service” for definition
of “PC”).

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.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.
Make sure you have added rinse aid
before using the dishwasher for the first
time.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always causes
serious damage to 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
Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence
25% acid). This must

18
Page 19
Add rinse aid only until it is visible on
the surface of the filter in the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 130 ml.
Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water would
enter the rinse aid reservoir during a
programme.
Before using for the first time
Rinse aid indicator
The Rinse aid indicator light on the fascia comes on when the rinse aid reservoir needs to be replenished.
When the light comes on the reservoir
still contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3
programmes.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occuring during the next programme.
19
Page 20
Before using for the first time
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The dosage selector has settings from
1-6. It is set to 3 at the factory (see
arrow). Approx. 3 ml of rinse aid are
then used per programme. This is a recommended setting.
If spots appear on crockery and glassware:
Use a higher setting.
If clouding or smearing appears on
crockery and glassware:
Use a lower setting.

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.
Ash does not dissolve and is distributed in the wash cabinet. Wax,
sand, lubricating grease and paint
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 it is properly cleaned.
Deep-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 do not fall
through the holders in the baskets.
Small items, e.g. lids, should therefore be placed in the cutlery tray or
cutlery basket.
Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolour if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their
way into the appliance on the crockery. The stability of plastic items is
not affected by this discolouration.
Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
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.
When the dishwasher is being
loaded food and drink residue may
drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces do not
belong to the wash cabinet and are
not accessed by water from the
spray arms. Food residue should
therefore be wiped away before the
dishwasher door is closed.

Dishwashers with a cutlery tray (SC)
For best results cutlery should be
grouped in zones, one for knives, one
for forks, one for spoons, etc.
This makes unloading much easier.
Place the blades of knives and the
prongs of forks between the holders.
Spoons, on the other hand, should be

holders.
Longer items such as soup ladles,
cake slices, mixing spoons and long
knives should be placed lengthwise in
the indentation in the middle of the cutlery tray.
The upper spray arm must not be
blocked by items which are too big
(e. g. cake slices).
The cutlery tray insert is removable.
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.
If the spoon handles do not fit between
the holders then lay them the other way

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 resis-
tant may lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items may discolour or become matt.
– Items with colours painted over a
glaze may fade after many washes.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. Do not wash glassware containing lead crystal in a
dishwasher.
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 rubbing dry with a soft cloth. Silver treated in a silver immersion dip is
usually dry at the end of a programme
but may discolour.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulpher can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine
and marinades.
Aluminium components (e. g. a
grease filter) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents. These
may damage material, or in extreme
cases, cause severe chemical reaction.
See section “Adding detergent” for
information on suitable detergents.
We recommend:
– When purchasing new crockery and
cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-proof.
– There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware. When in doubt,
wash by hand.
– If delicate glassware is washed in
the dishwasher ensure that only very
low temperatures are used (see programme chart). This will reduce the
risk of clouding.

Adding detergent
Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers. Do not use
washing up liquid.
You can use conventional powder
detergent, tablets or liquid dishwasher detergent. Do not use liquid
detergent when selecting “Delay
Start”.
Put powder or liquid detergent into
the dispenser compartment.
Detergent tablets should only be put
into compartment II if this is recommended by the manufacturer.
If the manufacturer recommends inserting tablets in the cutlery basket
do not do so. Instead place them on
the inside of the door or directly into
the wash cabinet. The tablets will
then dissolve completely.
Detergent manufacturers give the required amount of detergent for a particular programme on their packaging.
Use at least 30 ml of detergent for a
full load in the following programmes:
– Normal programme,
– Universal programme,
– Universal plus programme,
– Economy 45º C programme.
If the manufacturer recommends a
larger amount of detergent, use the
amount recommended.
Please note
Failure to dispense the recommended
amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.
There are currently three types of
detergent on the market:
1. Detergents containing phosphates
and chlorine.
2. Detergents containing phosphates
but chlorine-free.
3. Phosphate-free and chlorine-free
detergents.
Type 3 detergents are more environmentally friendly, however:
Phosphate-free detergent reacts more
sensitively to water hardness than
detergent containing phosphates. This
may influence cleaning results.
The following problems may occur:
– Increased etching in the form of a
bluish sheen on the surface of glassware
– Discolouration of silverware
– Colours painted over a glaze may
fade.
Appearances of this nature are generally caused by the detergent used and
are not attributable to any malfunctioning of the dishwasher itself.
Preventative measures:
– Try out a phosphate-free detergent
from another manufacturer.
– Change to a detergent containing
phosphates (type 2), or, if available,
to a detergent containing both phos-
phates and chlorine (type 1).
– Programme the water hardness se-
lector one setting higher than recom-
mended for your supply hardness
(see chart in “Before using for the
first time”). Softer water is then pro-
vided.
30
Page 31
Operating the dishwasher
The bleaching effect of chlorine-free
detergents is lower than that of detergents containing chlorine. This may result in increased tea stains or discolouration on plastic items. Appearances of
this nature are generally caused by the
detergent used and are not attributable
to any malfunctioning of the dishwasher itself.
Preventative measures:
– Increase the amount of detergent
used for a greater bleaching effect.
– If available, change to a detergent
containing chlorine (type 1).
Should you experience difficulties when
using these types of products, please
contact the detergent manufacturer’s
advisory service.
Warning:
Avoid inhalation of powder detergents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the
mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been
swallowed or inhaled.
Keep children away from detergents and 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.
To achieve optimum results distribute
the required amount of detergent, depending on the type of detergent and
the programme selected, proportionally
between compartments I and II of the
dispenser.
It is essential to follow the instructions
given in the programme chart at the
end of the operating instructions.
31
Page 32
Operating the dishwasher
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. 20 ml.
Compartment II holds max. 70 ml.
There are markings in compartment II
to assist with dispensing. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20, 25, 30 ml
when the door is open in a horizontal
position.
Add the required amount of detergent and close the flap.
Ensure that the detergent package is
properly sealed after use. Otherwise
the detergent can lose its effectiveness.

Programme selection
Choose your programme according to
the type of load and how dirty it is.
In most cases this will be a Normal Programme, a Universal Programme or a
Universal Plus Programme.
These programmes are ideally suited
to everyday mixed loads with varying
degrees of soiling.
For particular needs there are
special programmes.
The different programmes and their
uses are described in the programme
chart at the end of this booklet.
The additional function “Top Solo” can
be selected with each programme.
For further information see “Additional
functions/Top Solo”.
Operating the dishwasher
“Energy Save” programme
Use this programme for lightly to nor-
mally soiled dishes.
A hot water intake (temperature of the
incoming water) of at least 45 °C and
max. 60 °C is necessary for this programme.
Water is not heated in this programme.
Only approx. 0.10 kWh of electricity is
used during this cycle.
As water is not heated, the drying results may not match those of other programmes.
The higher the temperature of the intake water, the better the cleaning and
drying results.
Open the door of the dishwasher at the
end of the programme to speed up the
drying process.

Interrupting a programme
A programme is interrupted as soon as
the door is opened.
If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it
was at before the door was opened.
Warning:
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 secs. This will enable the
temperature in the wash cabinet to
settle. Close the door firmly making
sure that it clicks into place.

Additional functions
“Top Solo” (20)
The “Top Solo” additional function is recommended when there is only a small
amount of crockery and cutlery to clean.
With this function the majority of the
water is directed only to the top and
middle spray arms in the dishwasher.
This means that the water jets are aimed
at items in the upper basket and the cutlery tray if the dishwasher has one.
As the middle spray arm also directs
water downwards, lightly soiled plates
or platters can be placed in the bottom
basket, and cutlery may be placed in
the cutlery basket if there are large
spaces between items.
Do not place dishes, bowls or other hollow containers in the bottom basket.
Because smaller amounts of crockery
are being washed the amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer can be reduced to approx. 2/3 of
the total amount for the full load.
Make sure, however, when reducing
the amount dispensed that the cleaning result is not affected.
Using “Top Solo” will also save water
and energy.
For example, using this function with
the “Economy 45°” programme uses
only 11 litres of water and approx. 0.8 kWh of electricity.
The “Top Solo” function can be selected
with all programmes.

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 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.
42

Cleaning and care
Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every 4 - 6 months). This
way faults and problems can be
avoided.
The dishwasher must not be used
without all the filters in place.
Cleaning the filters in the
wash cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse soil from
the suds solution, thus preventing it accessing the circulation system and reentering the cabinet through the spray
arms.
Collection of coarse soil may cause the
filters to clog.
Check the filter combination regularly
(every 4 - 6 months) and clean if
necessary.
Cleaning and care
Turn the handle anti-clockwise to release the filter combination.
Switch the dishwasher off beforehand.
Lift the filter combination out of the
machine. Remove any coarse particles and rinse the filter under running water. Use a nylon brush if
necessary.
43
Page 44
Cleaning and care
To clean the underside of the filter, the
flap must be opened:
Pull back the yellow clip to do this.
Rinse all parts under running water,
using a nylon brush if necessary.
Then close the flap so that the clip engages.
Important:
After cleaning make sure that the
clip has properly engaged.
Replace the filter combination so
that it lies flat in the base of the
wash cabinet.
Secure the filter by turning the
handle in a clockwise direction.
44
Page 45
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm jets. The spray arms should
therefore be inspected and cleaned
regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months).
Switch the dishwasher off beforehand.
Remove the spray arms as follows:
Take out the cutlery tray (if your dishwasher is fitted with one).
Press the top spray arm upwards to
engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.
Remove the lower basket.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove it.
Lift up the middle spray arm b to engage the ratchet. Then unscrew the
spray arm
c.
Use a pointed object to push food particles into the spray arm jets.
Rinse thoroughly under running
water.
Replace the spray arms and check
that they rotate freely.
45
Page 46
Cleaning and care
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 lime scale or
grease deposits in the cabinet these
can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner.
Cleaning the door and the
door seal
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe food and drink residue from
the sides of the dishwasher door.
These areas are not part of the wash
cabinet and are therefore not accessed by water from the spray
arms.
Cleaning the control panel
(fascia)
This should only be wiped with a
damp cloth or suitable cleaning
agent designed for use on plastic.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents or allpurpose cleaners. Because of their
chemical composition they could
cause serious damage to plastic
surfaces.
Cleaning the door panel
Clean using a suitable cleaning
agent.
Panels made from wood should only
be cleaned using a damp chamois
leather and then dried with a soft
cloth.
Do not use any cleaning agents containing ammonia or thinners.
They could damage surfaces.

Problem solving guide
ProblemPossible causeRemedy
Water remains in the
wash cabinet at the end
of a programme
The filter combination in
the wash cabinet is
clogged.
The drain pump or the
non-return valve may be
blocked.
The drain hose is kinked.Remove the kink.
Before rectifying the
problem:
– Turn the Programme
selector to the “Stop”
position.
– Switch the dishwasher
off using the “On/Off”
button.
Clean the filter
combination, see
“Cleaning and Care”
Clean the drain pump
and the non-return valve,
see section on this.

Solving problems
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw connection of the valve on the water inlet
hose. The filter must be cleaned when
dirty, otherwise insufficient water flows
into the wash cabinet (see “Checking
the water level”).
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped
in water.
Solving problems
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large number of insoluble substances, we recommend fitting a large-area filter in the
connection between the stopcock
and the water inlet hose threaded
union.
This filter is available from the Miele
Spares Dept.
Cleaning the filter:
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply (switch off at the mains
socket, pull out the plug , switch off
the appropriate circuit at the fuse box
or withdraw the mains fuse).
Turn off the stopcock.
Unscrew the inlet hose.
Carefully remove the rubber seal.
Withdraw the filter using pointed pliers
and rinse clean under running water.
Replace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
Screw back into place on the water
inlet, taking care that it is not crossthreaded.
Turn on the stopcock gradually to
test for leaks. If there is a leak, screw
the connections on more tightly, making sure the threads do not cross.

Solving problems
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. Watch out for glass or
bone splinters which could cause injury.
Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and
care”, “Cleaning the filters in the
wash cabinet”).
Scoop the water out of the cabinet
using a suitable container.
Raise the locking clamp for the nonreturn valve.
56
Page 57
Solving problems
Lift up the non-return valve and rinse
well under running water.
Remove all extraneous objects from
the non-return valve.
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
Remove all extraneous objects from
the drain pump (watch out for glass
or bone splinters which are particularly difficult to detect and could
cause injury). Turn the drain pump
impeller by hand to check that there
are no more obstructions.
Carefully replace the non-return
valve and secure it with the locking
clamp.

Transport
Transport
Should you ever need to move the dishwasher, e.g. when moving house, note
the following:
– Empty the dishwasher,
– Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses,
cables, cutlery baskets,
– Transport the dishwasher in the up-
right position.
If unavoidable it may be transported
on its back.
Do not transport it on its side or on
the door as residual water still in the
machine will leak out of it.
This residual water could get into the
electronic unit and cause a fault.
