Warning and safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use can however lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions
carefully before starting to use this
machine.This way you will avoid the
risk of accidents, and damage to
the machine.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place for reference, and pass them
on to any future user.
Appropriate usage
This dishwasher is intended exclu-
sively for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery in a domestic household. Do not use for purposes other
than those for which it was designed.
Any other applications may be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by
improper use or for uses other than
those for which the appliance is intended.
Delivery
A damaged appliance is dan-
gerous. It is therefore essential to
check packaging immediately and
examine the dishwasher for transport
damage. Under no circumstances
should you use a damaged machine.
Please ensure that the packaging
material is offered for recycling.
Installation
The dishwasher must be installed
and connected in compliance with
the installation instructions.
In order to ensure stability, built-
under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
The dishwasher must not be in-
stalled under a hob unit. The high
temperatures sometimes dissipated by
radiant heat could damage the dishwasher.
Do not connect the dishwasher to
the mains supply until it has been
installed.
Check that the voltage, frequency
and fuse rating shown on the data
plate match the household mains supply.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement is tested and where
there is any doubt the electrical system
in the house is checked out by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by the
lack or inadequacy of an effective earthing system (electric shock, for
example).
Warning and safety instructions
6
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.
Do not sit or lean on the opened
door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged and you
could get injured.
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.
Warning and safety instructions
7
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:
Only add detergent
just before starting
the programme and close the door, activating the child safety lock (depending
on model).
Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There
could be detergent residues in the appliance.
To ensure children do not come
into contact with detergent:
For models with the “Delay start” option
make sure 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. If the door is open at
the end of a programme, children may
come into contact with this residue.
To avoid machine and material
damage
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir
with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the
reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-
voir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always leads to
serious damage to the water softener.
Do not use commercial or indus-
trial detergents as these may damage material and there is a risk of
severe chemical reaction.
Warning and safety instructions

The Miele Waterproof System of-
fers protection from water damage,
provided the following conditions are
met:
– The dishwasher is correctly installed
and plumbed in.
– The dishwasher is properly main-
tained and parts are replaced where
it can be seen that this is necessary.
– The stopcock has been turned off
when the machine is not used for a
longer period of time (e.g. during
holidays).
In countries where there are 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 appliance guarantee.
Repairs and maintenance
Repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent
engineers in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs by
unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Always disconnect the appliance
from the electrical supply for maintenance work (switch off at wall socket
and remove the plug, or remove the
screw out fuse in countries where this
is applicable).
Disposal of your old machine
When disposing of an old dish-
washer first make it unusable. Disconnect, cut off the cable and the plug
from the cable.
Make the door lock inoperative (2 crossslotted screws), so that children cannot
accidentally shut themselves in. Make
appropriate arrangements for the safe
disposal of the appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused
by non-observance of the warning
and safety instructions.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be recycled. Please contact your
local authorities or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes, before disposing of the appliance.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. See the appropriate section in the Warning and Safety instructions.
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.
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.
Caring for the environment
10
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
salt,
– domestic dishwasher detergent,
– rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
machine from this test. It is not an
indication that the machine has
been previously used.
Before using for the first time
11
To open the door
Press the release catch inside the
door grip and pull forward.
If the door is opened during operation
all functions are automatically interrupted.
To close the door
Push the baskets right in. Lift the
door and push until it clicks into posi-
tion.
Child safety lock
The yellow key for the child safety
lock is on one of the spikes at the
front of the upper basket.
Remove the key before switching
on the dishwasher and keep it in a
safe place away from the dishwasher.
If you wish to prevent children opening
the dishwasher door during operation
use the key provided to turn the lock to
the required setting.
Horizontal setting:
The door is locked.
Vertical setting:
The door can be opened.
Before using for the first time

W ater 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
(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 advise
you on the highest level of water
hardness in your area.
If the hardness of your local supply is
constantly lower than
4 °d (0.7 mmol/l),
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
mmol/l),
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.
Enter the water hardness below:

If you wish to programme in a different
water hardness level:
Press the “Top Solo” button repeatedly until the value corresponding to your water hardness level appears in the display. This figure will
be in °d. For instance if your water
hardness level is 30 °d (5.4 mmol/l)
then the figure “30” will show in the
display.
Note:
Once the figure “36” is reached the
counter returns to “1”.
Press the “Start” button.
“SP” appears in the time display.
Press the “Start” button again.
The water hardness level change is
stored in memory.
The running time of the programme
which the selector dial is set to is now
shown in the display in hours and
minutes.
The “Time left” indicator light next to
the time display lights up.
Turn the programme selector to the
“Stop” position.
Switch the dishwasher off with the
“On/Off” button.

Setting the water hardness level selector in the wash cabinet
Switch the dishwasher off with the
“On/Off” button.
The water hardness level selector in the
wash cabinet must be set according to
the table below.
Setting the selector to the correct setting will help minimise the effects of the
wash process on glass surfaces. Too
high a setting will lead to poor cleaning
results and an increase in water spots
left on crockery and cutlery.
Use a screwdriver to take the cover
off the water hardness level selector
in the wash cabinet.
Use a coin or screwdriver to adjust
the water hardness level selector in
the wash cabinet. There is a click as
each setting is reached.

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.
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.
Run the Pre-wash programme immediately to remove any traces of salt
water from the cabinet.
Before using for the first time
16
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
The salt indicator light will also come
on if the water used is very soft (below
4 °d / 0.7 mmol). In this case the reservoir should not be filled with salt. The indicator light will remain lit and should
be ignored.
(See “After sales service” for definition
of “PC”).

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
not be used
as its use would damage the dishwasher.
or
– Liquid citric acid up to 50% acid con-
tent. The resulting rinsing and drying
quality will not, however, be as good
as when rinse aid is used.
Adding rinse aid
Press the button in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
Before using for the first time
18
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.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occuring during the next programme.
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.
Before using for the first time
19
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Loading examples
Upper basket
For small, lightweight, delicate items
such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc.
Flat saucepans or casserole dishes
can also be placed in the upper basket.
Long items such as soup ladles, mixing
spoons and long knives should be
placed lying down across the front of
the upper basket.
Note for “Top Solo”
If a wash programme has been selected with the additional function “Top
Solo”, all crockery must be loaded in
the upper basket and cutlery tray (if
fitted).
If your dishwasher has a cutlery basket
then cutlery should be placed in the
cutlery basket with plenty of space between items.
As the middle spray arms also directs
water downwards, it is possible to wash
lightly soiled plates (with a large
diameter) and serving platters in the
lower basket, however plenty of space
must be left in between items.
Do not
wash dishes, bowls or other hollow containers when using this function.
