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. Do not use for pur­poses other than those for which it was designed. Unauthorised use could prove 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.
The following notes are to help avoid personal injury
To ensure stability integrated and
built-under models must be in­stalled under a continuous worktop which has been firmly screwed to neighbouring units.
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 can-
not be held responsible for damage caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective earthing system, (electric shock for example).
For safety reasons do not operate this appliance on an extension
cable. Danger of overheating.
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Switch off at the mains and call the
Service Department for assistance.
Repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent engineers to ensure safety. Repairs by unqualified persons could be dan­gerous.
With the "Waterproof system", the
plastic housing of the water inlet connection contains an electrical com­ponent. It must not be dipped in water.
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. Please supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Do not use solvents in the dish-
washer. Danger of explosion!
Avoid inhalation of powder deter-
gents.
For appliances with the heating ele-
ment in the wash cabinet do not touch the element during or directly after the end of a programme, you could burn yourself.
Warning and safety instructions
Dishwasher detergents contain irri-
tant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergents and from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could be deter­gent residues in the appliance.
To avoid the danger of children
coming into contact with the dish­washer detergent: Only put it into the detergent dispenser the programme, and then secure the door with the child safety lock. For models with "Delay Start" option make sure the detergent dispenser is dry before putting in detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thoroughly dispensed. If the door is open at the end of a pro­gramme, children may come into con­tact with this residue.
Water in the dishwasher must not
be used as drinking water.
Appliances with a cutlery basket:
items of cutlery are cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket handles downwards. You may however, prefer to place cutlery with sharp points with the handles upwards.
Always disconnect the appliance
from the electrical supply for main­tenance work (switch off at wall socket and remove plug, screw out fuse in countries where this is applicable).
just before starting
The following notes should help to avoid material damage
The voltage and frequency shown on the data plate must match the
mains supply in the house.
Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use
washing-up liquid.
Do not use commercial or indus-
trial detergents as these may dam­age material and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-
voir with dishwasher detergent al­ways leads to damage to the water sof­tener. Make sure that you have picked up the right packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with powder or liquid detergent always leads to serious dam­age to the reservoir. Only use rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Do not sit or lean on the opened
door. This could cause the dish­washer to tip and be damaged.
If your dishwasher has the heating
element visible in the base of the wash cabinet, as far as possible al­ways place plastic items in the top bas­ket, and ensure they do not drop through. The plastic could melt or lose its shape near the heating element.
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.
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, so that children cannot accidentally shut them­selves in. Make appropriate arrange­ments for the safe disposal of the ap­pliance.
The manufacturer can not 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 machine
Old machines may contain materials which can be reclaimed or re-cycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap mer­chant about potential recycling schemes. Ensure that the machine presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. See the appropriate section in the Warning and Safety instructions.
Caring for the environment
Caring for the environment
Energy saving washing
These dishwashers are exceptionally ef­ficient in their 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. However, if your water is heated by electricity we would still recommend connection to cold water. In the UNIVERSAL 55° programme, depending on the capacity of the dishwasher, when connected to hot water 55°C up to 0.7 kWh of electri­cal energy is saved. The hot water provides this energy, and the ap­prox. 0.13 l oil or 0.14 m needed to heat the water is consider­ably more cost effective. Although all stages of the wash then take place with hot water, savings are made in cost, time and energy.

natural gas
Make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher for most economical washing.
For small loads: Select the additional "Top Solo" func­tion (see chapter "Additional func­tions")
Choose the programme to suit the type of crockery being washed and the degree of soiling.
If baskets are only half full use the ECONOMY programme.
Use the correct dosages of deter­gent.

Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time please note the following points:
See the relevant chapters for detailed information on the points below.
Before using for the first time
Load the crockery correctly
Load the crockery so that water will come into contact with all surfaces.
This ensures that they will be properly cleaned.
Set the water softener
The water softener unit must be set to deal with the water hardness level in your area.
The salt reservoir must also filled with water and then with dish­washer salt. Never fill with dishwasher powder detergent.
Filling the salt reservoir with deter­gent by mistake will always damage the water softener. Please check every time before refilling that the package contains dishwasher salt.
Add rinse aid
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reser­voir with powder or liquid detergent, or washing up liquid, will damage the reservoir.
Only use rinse aid formulated for do­mestic dishwashers.
first be
The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall for the bas­ket or which hang through. If necessary manually rotate the spray arms to test.
Add the correct amount of detergent
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on how much deter­gent to use. Not using enough will lead to poor wash results.
Read the notes on dosage given in the programme chart.
Cleaning results may vary from brand to brand. If you are not satisfied with the results from one brand try another quality brand before contacting the Customer Service department for ad­vice.
Do not use washing up liquid
Only use detergent formulated for do­mestic dishwashers.
11
Before using for the first time
It is important to choose the correct programme
The NORMAL programme and the UNIVERSAL programmes are ideally suited to everyday loads. See the pro­gramme chart for descriptions of other programmes.
When the dishwasher is run for the first time the programme selected will not start for
During these 7 minutes the "Reacti­vate" (Regenerate) programme step is carried out and the indicator light k illuminates.

Water softener
Water softener
To avoid the build-up of calcium de­posits on crockery and cutlery, and in the dishwasher the water needs to be softened.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water the built-in water softener must be:
1. correctly set and
2. the salt reservoir must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation. (It is not necessary to reactivate with salt if the degree of hardness in the local supply is permanently under 70 mg/l (4 °d German scale).
The dishwasher is set at the factory to operate up to a hardness level of 310 - 400 mg/l (17 - 22 °d German scale).
If your water hardness level is differ­ent from this, the factory setting will need to be changed according to the chart on the next page.
Your local water authority will advise you on the water hardness of your area.
Where the hardness level fluctuates (e.g. 140-310 mg/l, 8 - 17 °d German scale) always take the highest value (value 17 in this example).
In the event of requiring a service visit in the future make a note here of the water hardness level:
Water hardness level:
mg/l
14
The water softener unit has been set at the factory for a water hardness of 310 - 400 mg/l (17 °d - 22 °d German scale). If the water is harder or softer in your area, the water softener unit must be reprogrammed, and in certain cir­cumstances the water hardness selec­tor in the wash cabinet must be re-set, (see setting chart). See next page for programming the water softener unit.

Programming the water sof­tener
The programme touch pads are used to programme the water softener. It is possible to enter two separate values for water hardness, using the touch pad either singly (level 1) or in combina­tion (level 2), (see settings chart). For a level 1 value the indicator in the touch pad lights up.
Example: The indicator light water softener is set for a water hard­ness of 130 mg/l (7°d German scale).
If the indicator in the 2 touch pad (Top Solo) also lights up, the level 2 value has been selected. Example: The indicator lights 2 and the water softener is set for a water hardness of 310 - 400 mg/l (17 - 22 °d German scale) (factory setting).

When the salt reservoir is empty the in­dicator light k comes on. The reservoir should be refilled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
After the reservoir has been refilled with salt the water softener is automatically reactivated either the next time the dish­washer is run or the time after that.
Note
With very soft water, i. e. constantly at a level below 70 mg/l (4 °d), the reservoir does not have to be filled with salt and although the salt light does come on, this can be disregarded.
The k indicator light (marked PC) is also designated for any future updates to programmes, (see After Sales Ser­vice).
The indicator light k illuminates during this process.

21
Adding rinse aid
Setting the dosage
Add rinse aid only until it is visible on the surface of the filter in the open­ing.
Close the flap firmly. The flap must audibly engage, other­wise water could get into the rinse aid storage container during the pro­gramme.
Mop up any spilt rinse aid. This pre­vents over-foaming occuring during the next programme.
The flap should normally remain closed. Only open it for adding more rinse aid.
Wait until the indicator light H on the control panel lights up before adding more rinse aid.
The dosage adjuster (see arrow) in the opening has settings from 1 to 6. It is set to 3 at the factory, as the recom­mended dose. The setting dispenses approx. 3 ml rinse aid per programme.
If there are flecks on glasses after drying use a higher setting.
If smearing appears on crockery use a lower setting.
22
Loading the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Important
Load the crockery so that water will come into contact with all surfaces. This ensures that they will be properly cleaned.
Do not place crockery and cutlery in­side other pieces where they may be concealed.
Hollow items e.g. cups, glasses etc. must be inverted in the basket.
Deep based items should be placed at an angle such that water runs off them freely.
Tall narrow hollow pieces should be placed in the centre of the basket, rather than in the corners, to ensure good coverage of water.
Small pieces should be placed on the cup racks. Cups should be on the lower rack and bowls on the top rack so that water reaches all pieces.
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 the plastic items is not affected by this discolouration.
Do not touch the heating element during or directly after the end of a programme, you could burn your­self.
The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall for the basket or which hang through. If necessary manually rotate the spray arms to test.

Loading the dishwasher
Unsorted cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket, handles facing downwards.
You may, however, prefer to place cutlery with sharp points with the handles upwards to avoid possible injury.
Place small spoons in the individual slots to either side of the cutlery basket.
Larger items like soup ladles, long knives and mixing spoons should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.
25
Loading the dishwasher
Dishwasher with cutlery tray (SC models)
For best results cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons etc. This makes unloading much easier.
Larger items like sauce ladles, cake slices, long knives and mixing spoons can be placed lengthwise in the trough in the centre of the tray.
The cutlery tray insert is removable. It can be completely removed from its frame and carried to the cutlery drawer, or table where it can be easily un­loaded.
