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.

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.
26
Loading the dishwasher
Spoon heads should be placed in such a way that water runs off them freely.
Cutlery with round or oval handles should be placed with the heads in the grips as this prevents them slipping.
Ensure that spoon heads are in contact with at least one of the grips in the cut­lery tray. This way they cannot collect water.
The upper spray arm must not be blocked by items which are too big, e.g. cake slices.

Adding detergent
Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing up liquid.
Adding detergent
Selecting detergent
Recently almost all detergent manufac­turers have launched with a different composition, in addition to standard types.
new detergents
Please note Dishwasher detergents contain irri­tant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergent 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 put it into the detergent dispen­ser just before starting the pro­gramme.
Should you experience difficulties when using these types of products, please contact Miele Customer and Technical Services Department, or the detergent manufacturers own Advisory Service.
new dishwashing detergents, al-
These though welcome from an ecological point of view, react to a different degree from conventional products to water hardness. The drawbacks may only become apparent after a prolonged period of use.
The following problems may occur:
– White deposits on crockery and
inner cabinet.
– Increased etching in the form of a
bluish sheen on the surface of glass­ware.
– Discolouration of silverware.
Appearances of this nature are generally caused by the detergent used and are not attributable to any malfunctioning of the dishwasher it­self.
31
Adding detergent
Preventive measures:
1. If you wish to continue using the new chlorine and phosphate-free pro­ducts, the following is recommended:
– Try out an environmentally friendly
detergent of the same type from an­other manufacturer.
2. If you are still dissatisfied with the re­sults, we recommend the use of chlorine-free but not phosphate-free detergent.
– Set the water softener and dispense
detergent according to instructions given in this instruction booklet.
3. If results are still not to your satisfac­tion, you should revert back to using conventional both chlorine and phosphate.
– Set the water softener and dispense
detergent according to instructions given in this instruction booklet.
Should you experience difficulties when using these types of products, please contact the detergent manufacturer’s own Advisory Service.

Adding detergent
Dishwasher detergent must be added before each programme.
– Pour powder or liquid detergent into
the dispenser.
– Dishwasher detergent tablets can be
put at various places in the wash cabinet, (follow the manufacturer’s advice on the packet).
Detergent manufacturers give the re­quired amount of detergent in ml (or g) on the packaging.
For the NORMAL programme and the UNIVERSAL programmes use at least 30 ml (or g) detergent unless advised to use more by the manufacturer, then use what they advise.
The amount to dispense will depend on the type of load and the programme se­lected. See the programme chart on the next pages for advice on amounts to dis­pense.
If you buy detergent in bulk please ensure that the container is always properly sealed after use. Otherwise the detergent can lose its effective­ness.
33
Adding detergent
For information: Compartment I takes max. 25 ml, Com­partment II max. 80 ml. There are hori­zontal markers to assist with dispensing in compartment II, indicat­ing the level in ml.
Press the opening catch on the con­tainer flap. The flap will spring open.
The flap is always open at the end of a programme.
34
Pour in the required amount of deter­gent.
Shut the flap.
Choosing a programme
Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is.
In most cases this will be the NORMAL programme or one of the UNIVERSAL programmes.
NORMAL 55 ° – UNIVERSAL 55 °or 65 °
These programmes are ideally suited to everyday loads, mixed loads with va­rying degrees of soiling.
For particular needs there are special programmes:
The different programmes and their uses are described on the next two pages in the Programme chart.
You can choose the additional function "Top Solo" for each programme. See the "Additional functions" chapter for further information.

For information
The "Reactivation" process is car­ried out before a wash programme. It lasts
The hardness level of the inlet water dictates how often (after how many pro­grammes) water needs to be softened. For example with a water hardness de­gree of 380 mg/l (21 °d German scale) reactivation takes place after every 3 programmes. With a water hardness de­gree of 140 mg/l (8 °d German scale) reactivation takes place after 8 pro­grammes.
Do not cancel the programme pre­maturely, as important programme steps such as preparing the water softener may be left out.

Programme interruption
A programme is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again the pro­gramme will continue from the position it was interrupted.
Warning Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding ! Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise caution when doing so. Before closing the door 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.
Programme change
A change can be made to the pro­gramme selected before the door is closed.
Press the touch pad for the new pro­gramme required. (Reselect "Top solo" if necessary)
Switching off
On completion of a programme:
Open the door slightly. The indicator light in the programme touch pad goes out.
If the indicator light in the programme touch pad still glows, the relevant programme has not yet finished. Close the door again, for the pro­gramme to finish.
Press the "O" (Off) touch pad (19). The indicator light goes out.
Open the door completely and un­load the dishwasher.(see section "Remove load")
Close the door.
If the dishwasher is not to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst holi­day:

Hot crockery will chip and break more easily. After switching off let it cool down in the dishwasher until it is comfortable enough to handle, before you unload it.
If you open the door fully after switch­ing off, the crockery will cool down much faster.
First unload the bottom basket, then the upper basket and then the cut­lery tray (if you have one) at the very end. This way you avoid water droplets from the upper basket or the cutlery tray falling on to crockery in the bot­tom basket.

Top Solo (18)
(for small amounts of crockery)
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 only at items in the upper basket and cutlery tray.
This additional function is recom­mended when there is only a small amount of crockery and cutlery to clean which fits into the upper basket and the cutlery tray.
Lightly soiled plates or serving platters can still be placed in the bottom basket if there are large spaces between
Do not place dishes or bowls or
them. other hollow containers in the bottom basket.
By using the Top solo function water, detergent and energy savings are also made. For example in the UNIVERSAL 55° pro­gramme only 11 litres of water are used instead of 17 litres and only 1.1 kWh in­stead of 1.3 kWh.
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 a full load. Make sure, however, when reducing the amount dispensed that the cleaning re­sult is not affected.
The Top solo function can be selected with all wash programmes.
Choose the programme. Press 2 (18) touch pad. The indica-
tor light next to the touch pad illumi­nates.
Close the door. The programme starts.

Switching off drying heat
In all wash programmes a heater ele­ment helps with drying. The drying heat can be switched off, shortening the length of the wash pro­grammes by approx. 2 minutes and saving approx. 0.1 kWh energy. The load then dries to a certain extent in its own heat. To assist drying the dishwasher door can be opened partially at the end of the programme to release moist air.
To switch off drying heat proceed as follows:
Open the door. Switch off the dishwasher. Press and hold the touch pads b
and d and at the same time switch on the dishwasher. The "On" indicator light comes on and the k and flash.
Warning: If some other indicator light flashes switch off the dishwasher and start again.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet
The dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place!
The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet should be regularly in­spected and cleaned if necessary:
Cleaning and care
Turn the handle anti-clockwise to re­lease the filters.
Lift and take the filter combination out of the machine. Remove coarse par­ticles and rinse under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.
45
Cleaning and care
Turn the filter combination over and open the coarse filter by pulling back on the locking device.
Clean the coarse filter under running water, using a brush if necessary, and press the locking device back in.
Important: After cleaning make sure that the lock­ing device is properly locked.
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.
46
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets. The spray arms should be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 6 months).
To do this remove the spray arms as fol­lows.
Lift up the middle spray arm b to en­gage the tooth-wheel mechanism. Then unscrew the spray arm
c.
Dishwashers with cutlery basket:
Unscrew the upper spray arm.
Dishwashers with cutlery tray:
Pull out the cutlery tray. Lift up the upper spray arm to en-
gage the tooth-wheel mechanism and then unscrew the spray arm.
Using a sharp pointed object push the food particles into the spray arm jets and rinse well under running water.
Remove the lower basket and take out the
lower spray arm.
Please note: After replacing the spray arms check that they move freely.
47
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve
If 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 splinters, which could cause injury.
Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet.
Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out of the wash cabinet.
Lift up the non-return valve and rinse under running water.
Raise the locking clamp.
48
The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow).
Before replacing the non-return valve check that the drain pump impeller turns with only slight resistance, and that there is no obstruction.
Carefully replace the non-return valve and secure with the locking clamp.
Replace and secure the filter combi­nation.
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filter in the water inlet
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.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. It must not be dipped in water.
Fitting an in-line water filter
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. These filters can be obtained from the Miele Spares Department (Part No.: 75577).
To clean the filter
Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply (switch off at the main socket and pull out the plug, switch off the appropriate circuit at the fuse­box or withdraw the mains fuse).
Turn off the stopcock and unscrew the inlet hose.
Carefully remove the rubber seal. Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and clean by rinsing under run­ning water.
Replace filter and seal. Make sure they are sitting correctly!
Screw back into place on the water inlet, taking care that it goes back on straight.
Turn on the stopcock gradually to test for leaks. If there is a leak: Screw the connections on more tightly.
49
Cleaning and care
The control panel
This should only be wiped with a damp cloth, or a suitable plastic cleaner.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner, a glass cleaner or an all-purpose cleaner. Because of their chemical composition they could cause serious damage to plastic surfaces.
The front of the dishwasher
Laminate fronts should be cleaned using a suitable proprietary cleaning agent.
Fronts made from wood should only be cleaned using a damp cloth or leather and dried with a soft cloth.
Do not use any cleaner containing ammonia or thinners.

Installation
These fully integrated dishwashers are specially designed for building into a fitted kitchen.
The front can be fitted with a base unit front to match the kitchen furniture.
To ensure stability, these dish­washers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which must be securely screwed to neigh­bouring units.
Installation
Dimensions:
1) with 870 mm machine height
2) with 820 mm machine height
Range of adjustment approx. 5 cm (82­87 cm total height).
Extended machine feet are available at extra cost, (special accessory). These can be used for a machine height of 87 to 92 cm.
59
Installation
1.Fit worktop protection
A stainless steel “niro” coverplate is supplied with the machine to protect the underside of the worktop against steam rising from the machine.
The coverplate is supplied as standard.
Squeeze sealant from the tube sup-
b into the angle of the “niro
plied plate.
Align the “niro” plate c to the front edge of the worktop - see illustration ­and then use tacks supplied to nail the niro plate to the underside of the worktop.
60
On worktops with wood or laminate edging, the tacks should be nailed through the holes at the back.
2.Building the dishwasher into a niche
Connection to water and drainage should be sited beside and not behind the dishwasher for accessibility. Con­nections are usually made in the area under the sink. Many kitchen unit manufacturers provide a cutout in the base of the sink base unit for the hoses to be fed through.
If the base unit has no opening and if there is not an opening through the plinth area for connections, one must be cut.
Suggested dimensions: 60 x 110 mm.
Installation
For some installation steps it is necessary to pull the dishwasher slightly out of the recess. Therefore do not make these connections until last.
61
Installation
The slides make installation of the dish­washer easier and protect the floor from possible damage when moving the appliance into and out of the re­cess. They are also used for adjusting the height of the rear screw feet.
Adjust the height manually before in­stalling the dishwasher. Leave a space of approx. 5 mm below the worktop to allow the dishwasher to be pushed back easily into the re­cess. Make sure that the dishwasher stands level.
Push the dishwasher right back into the recess. Ensure that drain hose, inlet hose and electric cable are laid to reach the connection point without any kinks.

3.Fitting the matching door front
The front of the dishwasher needs to be fitted with a base unit front to match the kitchen furniture. This door front may be a single panel or a two-piece panel, divided to give a dummy drawer facia line.
Dimensions:
Width: Depending on the width of your dish­washer, a base unit front of either 45 cm or 60 cm width;
Total height: height of a full base unit front, or with a two-piece panel, height of shorter unit front plus gap plus dummy drawer facia;
Thickness: at least 18 mm thickness in the areas where the fixing bracket is screwed on.
A door handle must be fitted to the front of the door front before the fixing bracket is fitted.
The door handle fixing screws must be countersunk, to avoid any protru­sions at the rear of the door front.
Position the door handle to match the others on the kitchen furniture. It should be at drawer height in the centre of the panel.
64
Installation
The weight of the door front will af­fect the functioning of the door springs. After fitting it is essential for this to be checked out. See Step 6.
The door front is fixed to the machine door outer panel using a fixing bracket. This fixing bracket has to be pre­mounted on the rear of the door front.
When the dishwasher is delivered the fixing bracket is secured to the dish­washer. To remove it:
Loosen the fixing screws (arrow) on each side of the machine door outer panel.
Push the fixing bracket upwards from the sprung bolts and remove.
Remove the protective packaging.
65
Installation
Opening the door when the fixing bracket has been taken off:
Insert your finger into the T-shaped opening of the door opener and pull the door open.
Dimension X must be calculated and noted before attaching the fixing bracket.
Dimension X is the distance shown on the illustration between the drill hole in the machine outer door panel and the lower edge of the neighbouring unit door(s).
Fitting the fixing bracket to a door front
Lay the door front with the rear side facing upwards. Draw a vertical line down the middle of the door front rear to use as a guide line.
Mark the dimension X over on to the rear of the door front, up from the bottom edge.
With two-piece panels:
If the two-piece panel is joined by non­flush fixings these must be removed. The fixing bracket supplied with the dishwasher can be used to secure both pieces.
Make sure that the combined height worked out is retained.
Push the dishwasher into the recess and adjust the height.
Calculate dimension X”.

Installation
Fitting the door front
The door front is correctly fitted when: – the lower lugs of the fixing bracket
rest firmly in the lower slits of the dishwasher outer door panel.
– The prongs of the fixing bracket lie
on the sprung bolts in the upper cor­ners of the dishwasher door.
Hang the door front so that the lower lugs of the fixing bracket fit into the lower slits of the dishwasher outer door panel, and draw slightly up­wards.
Pull the dishwasher out of the recess enough for the door front fixing screws to be easily accessible, and the upper edge of the dishwasher door to be unobstructed by the work top.
68
Press the door front against the dish­washer outer door panel.
At the same time slide the prongs of the fixing bracket over the sprung bolts and press into place.
Press the door front downwards so that the prongs grip behing the sprung bolts.

6. Adjusting the door springs
The door springs are correctly adjusted when a half opened door (approx. 45° opening angle) remains in this position when released.
If the door lowers to the horizontal posi­tion the door springs need to be tight­ened.
If, however, it rises up, then the springs need to be released.
The adjusting screw is located in the upper front strip at the left hand side of the dishwasher.
Open the dishwasher door.
Installation
Adjust the door spring until it is cor­rectly balanced:
turn clockwise = tighten turn anti-clockwise = loosen.
Push the dishwasher back into its re­cess.
71
Installation
7. Level and secure the dishwasher
To ensure the stability of the dish­washer it must be screwed to the con­tinuous worktop after it has been posi­tioned.
Half open the dishwasher door. Screw one of the 4 x 15 screws sup-
plied from below into the holes in the right and left hand side of the upper strip.
Do not lift the dishwasher to do this. If necessary, screw the feet out fur­ther.
72
Installation
If one of the screw positions is in the cut-out area, e.g. of the built-in sink, at­tach the fixing bracket supplied.
Pull the dishwasher approx. 5-10 cm out of the recess.
Position the fixing bracket. Push the dishwasher back into the re-
cess, adjust and screw into position with a (3.9 x 22) screw.
For Corian or granite worktops there is a special accessory to fix the dish­washer to an adjacent kitchen unit.
Pull the dishwasher approx. 5 to 10 cm out of its recess.
Fit the lug of each fixing bracket into the guide hole on top of the dish­washer, and then swing to the left or right side respectively.
Push the dishwasher back into the re­cess, align, and fix to the adjacent kitchen unit(s) with 2 screws (3.5 x 15) for each bracket.

8.Matching the plinth facia of a kitchen run
The plinth area of the dishwasher is nor­mally covered with a plinth run match­ing the kitchen furniture.
The height (H) of the plinth facia around the dishwasher depends on the plinth re­turn (R) and any additional measurement the door front adds to the dishwasher door, (P).
Place the plinth facia directly in front of the kitchen run but do not attach.
Carefully open the dishwasher door.
If the door front comes into contact with the kitchen plinth when the dishwasher door is opened the plinth facia in the area around the dishwasher door needs to be cut to size.
To do this mark where the edge of the door front comes into contact with the plinth facia.
Cut out the plinth facia along this line. Place the plinth facia in front of the
kitchen run again and check whether the dishwasher door can be opened fully. If it cannot, trim the plinth facia to the correct size.
Secure the plinth facia to the ad­jacent kitchen units.
74
If your kitchen does not have a plinth run matching the kitchen furniture, the plinth area can be covered with a sep­arate plinth kit, available at extra cost.

Connection to the water inlet
Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water.
The dishwasher may be connected to a cold or hot water supply, max. 60 °C. When connected to a hot water supply all programme stages which would otherwise be carried out with cold water (pre-wash and interim rinse) will be carried out with hot water.
The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long; a longer hose (4 m) may be bought from the Miele Spare Parts Dept.
A stopcock with a 3/4" male thread must be provided on site.
The dishwasher is constructed to comply with DVGW regulations, and may be connected to a suitable sup­ply without an extra non-return valve if national regulations allow this.
Plumbing
Connect the inlet hose with the Waterproof-System preferably verti- cally so that the hose exits from the bottom of the "Waterproof valve" box.
The water pressure (flow rate at the take-off point) must be between 0.3 and 10 bar pressure. If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducer valve must be fitted.
The water inlet hose must not be shortened or damaged in any way, (see following illustration).
If this is not possible, it can be in­stalled horizontally, but it is essen- tial that the main body of the "Water­proof valve" box is above the hose exit (see illustration). The ’lightning’ power symbol should be above the water flow ’arrow’.
77
Plumbing
There must be a distance of at least 20 cm between the floor and
the bottom of the “Waterproof” unit housing, for either vertical or hori­zontal installation.
If the stopcock is situated in the worktop, a special angle connector can be ordered from the Miele Spare Parts Dept. (Part No. 2078910).
Lay the hose in such a way that it does not rise above the bottom of the Waterproof unit casing (see il­lustration).
78
Plumbing
Drainage
The machine drainage system is fitted with a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the machine via the drain hose.
The dishwasher is supplied with ap­prox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
The drain hose can be extended using a connection piece and an extra drain hose, (up to max. 4 metres).
If the hose is to be directly fitted to the drainage outlet on site, use the hose clip supplied.
The connection socket on the dish­washer can be turned. The hose can thus be laid to the right or left without needing to loosen the hose clip.
The drain system must not exceed 4 metres. The drain pump has a maximum delivery head of 1 metre.
The drain hose must not be short­ened.
Venting the drainage system
Open the dishwasher door fully.
If the site drain connection is situated lower than the guide path for the bot­tom basket rollers in the open door the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the machine to empty itself of water.
To vent:
Cut off the top of the vent valve in the wash cabinet.
