Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with this information.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application

This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/ shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.

This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.

It must only be used 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.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.

Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.

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 opening mechanism.

Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material or pull it over their heads with the risk of suffocation. Keep children away from any packing material.

Keep detergent and other household agents out of the reach of children at all times. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants and corrosive ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet or dispenser. Check that the dispenser is empty after the completion of a programme. Seek medical advice immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent, e.g. Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ).

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.

Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dishwasher. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the electrical system in the house should be checked 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 assured 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. 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 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.

Warning and 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 frequency) matches the mains electricity supply before connecting the dishwasher to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

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 mechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of injury 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 (e.g. danger of overheating).

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of frost. 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 valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.

Warning and Safety instructions

There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.

The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water damage, provided the following conditions are met:

–The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.

–The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where it can be seen that this is necessary.

–The tap has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).

The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off. However, the appliance must remain connected to the electricity supply.

The water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must be between 50 and 1000 kPa (0.5 and 10 bar).

A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains and call Miele.

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele authorised service technician only in order to avoid a hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions

This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp (depending on model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be replaced by a Miele authorised technician.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with the installation instructions.

Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protective gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.

The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free operation.

In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.

If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a builtunder ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion kit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a U- model plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused by protruding metal parts.

The door springs on either side need to be evenly adjusted. They are correctly adjusted if the half-opened door (approx. 45° door opening angle) remains in this position when it is released. The door must not fall down under its own weight.

The appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted door springs.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Seek medical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled, e.g. Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ).

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 dishwasher to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.

Dishes can be very hot at the end of a programme. Allow them to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.

Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.

Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may cause damage, and there is a risk of 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 dishwasher 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model) cutlery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place knives 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 and crockery 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

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally 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. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

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. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity.

You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips:

–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 for energy-saving dishwashing. This programme is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption at cleaning normally soiled crockery.

–If your dishwasher is connected to a hot water supply, select the SolarSave programme for washing a lightly to moderately soiled load. Because the water is not heated in this programme, crockery may still be slightly damper at the end of this programme than it would be with other programmes.

–Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations on detergent dosage.

–When using powder or liquid

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

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

Caring for the environment

EcoFeedback consumption

indicator

The Consumption function is used for calling up information about the energy and water consumption of your dishwasher (see "Settings menu - Consumption").

Three different types of information can be displayed:

–an estimate of the consumption before the programme begins

–the actual consumption at the end of the programme

–the total consumption of the dishwasher

1. Consumption estimate:

After a programme has been selected, first the name of the programme and, after a few seconds, the estimated energy and water consumption will appear in the display.

The estimated consumption levels will be displayed as a bar chart. The more bars ( ) in the display, the more energy or water will be used.

The values are influenced by the programme selected and any programme options selected.

The display will change automatically to show the time remaining.

The consumption indicator is switched on as standard. However, you can also switch the indicator off (see "Settings menu - Consumption").

2. Actual consumption

At the end of the programme you can call up the actual amount of energy and water used by the programme which has just been run.

Open the door at the end of the programme.

Press OK when the Consumption (OK)

message appears in the display.

Switching the dishwasher off at the end of the programme will delete the actual consumption values for the programme which has just been run.

3. "Consumption" setting

The Consumption setting gives a total of the energy and water which has been used in all previous dishwasher programmes (see "Settings menu - Consumption").

Before using for the first time

Opening the door

Closing the door

At the end of programmes with a drying phase (see "Programme chart"), the door will open automatically a little in order to help the drying process.

This function can be deactivated if preferred (see "Settings menu - AutoOpen").

Pull the handle.

Open the door fully so that the door catch rail retracts again.

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.

Push the baskets right in.

Then lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position.

Danger of injury!

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

Before using for the first time

Basic settings

Open the door.

Switch the dishwasher on with the

button.

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

Language

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

Use the arrow buttons 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 tick will appear next to the language 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 before you can use the "FlexiTimer" programme 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 pressed in will increase or decrease the time automatically.

Before using for the first time

Water hardness

The display will change to the screen for setting the water hardness.

–The dishwasher must be programmed to the correct water hardness for your area.

–Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

–Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 - 15 °d - German scale), always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7 mmol/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.

Enter the water hardness below:

____________mmol/l

The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 0.2 mmol/l (1 °d - German scale).

Use the arrows to select the hardness of your water supply and confirm with OK.

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

Finally, prompts will appear in the display.

After confirming these prompts with

OK, the messages Add salt and

Add 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 programme selected will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate indicator light will come on. Then, if applicable, the estimated energy and water consumption for the programme selected will appear for a few seconds.

Finally, the display will show the estimated programme duration for the programme selected.

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).

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").

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 damage the water softener.

Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.

Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation,

as other salts (e.g. cooking salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.

Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir

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 unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed.

It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir.

Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use only).

Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with dishwasher 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 reservoir, run the QuickPowerWash programme with the Short option and without any crockery in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

Before using for the first time

Add salt reminder

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for reactivation when Add salt appears in the display (If it appears during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).

Confirm with OK.

The refill reminder will go out.

Risk of corrosion! Immediately after filling the salt

reservoir, run the QuickPowerWash 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 reminder 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 refill reminder will be switched off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 0.9 mmol/l (5 °d - German scale).

If you only ever use multi-function combination products in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill reminders for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see "Settings menu - Switching off the refill reminders").

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 reminders back on.

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed.

Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.

Alternatively, it is possible to use

–household vinegar with a max. 5% acid content

–liquid citric acid up to 10% acid content

The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.

Do not use vinegar with a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar essence 25% acid).

This would damage the dishwasher.

If you only ever use combination products containing rinse aid in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid.

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.

Before using for the first time

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.

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

Add rinse aid reminder

When the Add rinse aid message appears in the display, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only.

Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

Confirm with OK.

The refill reminder will go out.

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 reminders back on.

Loading the dishwasher

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. 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 they get properly cleaned.

–Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

–Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.

–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.

–Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the baskets.

Small items, e.g. lids, should therefore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model).

Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or tomato sauce. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolour if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the 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.
