IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be per-
formed by a Miele-authorized service technician. Work by unquali­fied persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of dam-
age. 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 grounding 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 grounding system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the electrical supply.
If the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using a 3-
pin plug with a grounding contact (it must not be hard-wired), the electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is in­stalled so that it can be disconnected from the electrical supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. There
is a danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher is 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.
9
IMPORTANT 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 electrical supply before connecting the dish­washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical 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 mecha-
nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger while 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 electrical 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 a non-sta-
tionary location (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 module 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 water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must
be between 7.25 - 145 psi.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, turn off the electrical supply and contact Miele.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele-authorized service technician.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the electrical supply (turn it off and with­draw the plug from the socket).
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele-au­thorized service technician only.
Do not sit the dishwasher on the hose. The hose needs to be free
of kinks and able to move freely after installation. Do not place hose or power cord next to a heat source e.g. hot water pipes. Do not ex­pose hose or power cord to corrosive substances (e.g. chloride). Damage of hose or power cord could cause electrical shock or water damage.
This dishwasher is supplied with a special bulb to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special bulb must only be used for the intended purpose. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement bulbs may only be fitted by a Miele-authorized techni­cian or the Miele Technical Service.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the installation plan.
Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protec-
tive gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure
problem-free operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous counter which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
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 appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted door springs.
12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!Do not inhale or ingest powder detergent. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth, and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or in­haled.
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 dish-
washer to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.
Dishes can be very hot at the end of a program. Allow them to
cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-
washers. Do not use dishwashing 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 dish-
washer 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.
13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cut-
lery 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 with the handles upwards.
Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery 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 parts. If spare parts or acces-
sories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

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

Ob­serve safety requirements for appli­ances that may tip over or pose an en­trapment hazard.
19
Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is economical in the consumption of water and energy. For best results follow these tips:
– For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher.
– Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.
– Select the Normal program (depend-
ing on model) for energy-saving dish­washing. This program is the most ef­ficient in terms of its combined en­ergy and water consumption at clean­ing normally soiled dishes.
– If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply, select the Energy
Saver program for washing a lightly to
moderately soiled load. Because the water is not heated in this program, dishes may still be slightly damper at the end of this program than it would be with other programs.
– Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent dosage.
– When using powder or liquid deter-
gent, you can use 1/3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.
20

Before using for the first time

Opening the door

At the end of programs with a drying phase (see “Program overview”), 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”).
To open the door, reach under the
door grip and pull.

Closing the door

Push the baskets in.Then lift the door upwards and push
until it clicks into position.
Danger of crushing injuries!
Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.

22
Before using for the first time

Water hardness

The display changes to the screen for setting the water hardness.
– The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed 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 10 - 16 gr/gal (10 - 15 °d), always program the dishwasher to the higher value (16 gr/gal or 15 °d in this example).
It is useful to know your water hardness so that you can provide the service technician with this information in the event of any service calls.
Enter the water hardness below:
____________ gr/gal (°d)
The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 1 gr/gal (1 °d).
The message Set-up successfully com-
pleted will then appear in the display.
After confirming this with OK, the prompts Refill salt and Refill 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 program selected will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate indi­cator light will come on. Then, the display will show the esti­mated program duration for the pro­gram selected.
These basic settings will be saved after the dishwasher has been through one complete program.
Use the  arrow buttons to select
the hardness of your water supply and confirm with OK.
See “Settings menu, Water hardness” for more information.
23
Before using for the first time

Before using the appliance for the first time, you require:

– Approx. 2 qt (2 l) of water
– Approx. 2 kg (4 lbs) of 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 dishes and in the dishwasher. Water supplies with a hardness level higher than 4 gr/gal (4 °d) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated softener assembly. The softener assembly in the dishwasher is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 73 gr/gal (70 °d).
If the water in your area is very soft and consistently lower than 5gr/gal (5 °d - German scale) you do not have to add dishwasher salt. The prompt to add salt will be switched off automatically if the softener assembly has been programmed for this to hap­pen.
Dishwasher detergent will dam-
age the softener assembly. Do not fill the salt container with
dishwasher detergent (even liquid detergent).
Use only special, coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen salt.
Other types of salt may contain in­soluble components which can dam­age the softener assembly.
The softener assembly requires dish­washer salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 22 gr/gal or 21 °d), dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see “Operation - Deter­gent”).
24

Filling the salt reservoir

Important! Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2qt (2 l) of water to enable the salt to dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used for the first time, there is always suf­ficient water in the reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Water will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed.
It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir.
Before using for the first time
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 4 lbs (2 kg) of salt depending on the brand used.
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 qt (2 l)
of water (first use only).
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.
Immediately after filling the salt reser-
voir, run the QuickIntenseWash pro­gram with the Short programming op­tion selected and without any dishes in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
25
Before using for the first time

Salt refill indicator

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt for reactivation when Refill salt appears in the display. If it appears during a program, wait until the end of the program.
Confirm with OK.
The salt refill indicator will go out.
Risk of corrosion!
Immediately after filling the salt reservoir, run the QuickIntenseWash program with the Short programming option selected and without any dishware in the dishwasher to re­move any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill indicator 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.
If you only ever use Tab products in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill indicators for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see “Settings menu, Switching off the refill indicators”).
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 indicators back on.
The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 5 gr/gal (5°d).
26

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is needed to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware. The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir and the set amount will be automatically dosed.
Filling the rinse aid reservoir with
detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.
When using “Tab” detergents rinse aid is not needed.

Adding rinse aid

Before using for the first time
Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
3.7 oz. (110 ml).
Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a pro­gram.
Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring dur­ing the next program.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results (see “Settings menu ­Rinse aid”).
27
Before using for the first time

Rinse aid indicator

When the Refill rinse aid message ap­pears in the display, the reservoir con­tains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 pro­grams only.
Add rinse aid.Confirm with OK.
The rinse aid refill indicator will go out.
If you only ever use Tab products in your dishwasher, you can turn off both refill indicators for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see “Settings menu - Turn­ing off the refill indicators”).
28

Loading the dishwasher

Tips

Remove coarse food residues from the dishes.
There is no need to rinse items under running water!
Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, grease, or paint in the dishwasher. These will damage the dishwasher.
Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed:
– Do not place dishes or cutlery inside
other pieces. They will cover each other.
– Load the dishes so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that they get properly cleaned.
– Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
– 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 foods may contain natural dyes, e.g., carrots, tomatoes or tomato sauce. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolor if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the dishwasher on the dishes. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discoloration. Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish­washer may also cause plastic items to discolor.
– 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 center of the basket to ensure better water coverage.
– Concave items such as mugs or
bowls should be placed at an angle so that the water can run off.
– 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.
29
Loading the dishwasher
Items not recommended for dish­washing
– Wooden cutlery, cutting boards and
dishes or items with wooden parts
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,
and decorative glassware
– Plastic items which are not heat-re-
sistant: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminum
items may discolor or become matt.
– Colors painted over a glaze may fade
after a number of washes.
– Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal: clouding may occur over time.
Please note:
Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or spot-
ted at the end of a program, where wa­ter has not run off smoothly. It may need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.

Glass care

– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. If delicate glass­ware is washed in the dishwasher, ensure that only very low tempera­tures are used (see program chart), or a special glass-care program is used (depending on model). This will re­duce the risk of clouding.
– Purchase glassware which is dish-
washer-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware).
– Use detergents with glass protective
additives.
Silver which has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolor. These include egg yolk, onions, mayon­naise, mustard, fish, and marinades.
Aluminum components (e.g.,
range hood grease filters) must not be cleaned with a commercial or in­dustrial cleaning agent.
These may damage the material.
Tip: When purchasing new dishes and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher­safe.

Cutlery

3D cutlery tray+ (depending on model)

Arrange the cutlery in the tray as
shown.
To make unloading much easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc.
Spoon heads should be placed in con­tact with at least one of the serrated re­tainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.
The upper spray arm must not be
blocked by items which are too big.
The side sections of the tray can be moved into the middle using the yellow grips in order to accommodate tall cookware in the upper basket (see also “Upper basket - Glassware rack”).
If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, lay them the other way round.
For optimum cleaning results arrange spoons with the inner part facing the center of the cutlery tray.

Cutlery basket (depending on model)

The cutlery basket can be placed any­where on the front rows of spikes in the lower basket.
To avoid the risk of injury, knives and
forks should be placed with the han­dles upwards in the basket. However, cutlery placed handle down in the basket will come out cleaner and drier.
Fit it onto the cutlery basket if re-
quired.
Place small items of cutlery in the in-
dividual slots on three sides of the cutlery basket.

Cutlery insert for the cutlery basket

Use the insert supplied for heavily soiled items of cutlery. The insert sepa­rates the items so that they can be more easily accessed by water.
46
Insert cutlery with the handles facing
downwards.
Distribute them evenly along the in-
sert.

Operation

Detergent

Only use detergents formulated
for domestic dishwashers.

Active ingredients

Modern detergents contain various ac­tive ingredients, the most important of which are:
– Complexing agents to prevent calcifi-
cation.
– Alkalis to aid the removal of dried-on
soiling.
– Enzymes to break down starch and
loosen protein.
– Oxygen-based bleaching agents to
remove colored stains (e.g., tea, cof­fee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents are mildly alkaline and contain enzymes and oxy­gen-based bleaching agents.
There are different types of detergent:
You can also buy Tab products (see “Options, DetergentAgent”, if applica­ble). In addition to detergent, these products contain rinse aid and salt substitutes. They are available as “3 in 1” or when they also contain other components such as glass and stainless steel pro­tective additives and enhanced cleaning power, as “5 in 1”, “7 in 1”, “All in 1” etc. Refer to the manufacturer's packaging as to whether Tab products are suitable for the water hardness level in your area. Please note that the cleaning and dry­ing results of Tab detergents can vary greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying re­sults, use Miele dishwasher detergent and add Miele salt and Miele rinse aid separately.
– Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the amount of load and level of soil­ing.
– Tab detergents. These are suitable for
most levels of soiling.
47
Operation

Detergent dosage

Follow the dosage recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 1 1/4 - 2 table­spoons (20 - 30 ml) detergent to compartment II, depending on the level of soiling. With very heavy soil­ing you can also add a small amount of detergent to compartment l.
Tabs may not dissolve completely
when the “QuickIntenseWash” pro­gram (if available) is used.
Use only the recommended amount of detergent. Continued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage.
Dishwasher detergents can
cause burning in the nose, mouth,
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing.
Avoid inhaling or swallowing dish-
washer detergent. Keep children
away from detergent. Keep detergent
out of the reach of children. Keep
children away
from the dishwasher when the door
is open. There could still be deter-
gent residues in the dishwasher. Only
add detergent just before starting the
program and lock the door with the
child lock (depending on model).
48

Adding detergent

Press the opening catch on the deter-
gent dispenser. The flap will spring open.
The flap is always open at the end of a program.
Operation
Add the required amount of detergent
and close the flap.
Make sure that the detergent packag-
ing is properly closed after use to avoid it getting damp and becoming lumpy.

Dispensing aid

Compartment I holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons (10 ml), Compartment II holds a maximum of 3 ½ tablespoons (50 ml) of detergent.
The marks in compartment II indicate the levels of approximately 1 ¼ and 2 tablespoons (20 and 30 ml) respec­tively. The marks indicate the approxi­mate fill level in ml when the door is open in a horizontal position.

The Start indicator light will come on.
A program should only be canceled in the first few minutes, if at all. Oth­erwise important program stages could be omitted.

Time display

The estimated duration of the program selected appears in hours and minutes in the display before the program be­gins. During the program, the time left until the end of the program is dis­played.
Each program phase is indicated by a symbol:
Pre-wash / Soak Wash Interim rinse Rinse cycle Drying Finish
The program duration displayed may vary with the same program. It is influ­enced by, among other things, the wa­ter temperature at each intake, the re­activation process, the softener assem­bly, the type of detergent, the amount of dishes, and the amount of soiling.
When a program is selected for the first time, the display will show the average program duration for a cold water in­take.
The times shown in the program over­view refer to standard test loads and temperatures.
Each time a program is run, the elec­tronic module calculates the program duration required depending on the temperature of the water taken into the dishwasher and the amount of dishes.

EcoStart

In order to run your dishwasher in the most economical way, you can use the
EcoStart option to take advantage of
your electricity supplier's time variable rates (see “Options - FlexiTimer with EcoStart”). With this option selected, your dish­washer will start automatically at your electricity supplier's cheapest rate times.
To use this option, you must first set up to three electricity rate time zones in which the dishwasher can start. You can allocate different priorities to these time zones. The time with the cheapest electricity rate will be given Priority 1.
Contact your electric supplier to find out the times of the cheapest electricity rates.
Once the electricity rate times have been set, you can use the EcoStart op­tion to set the latest finish time required for each program. The dishwasher will then start automati­cally in the cheapest electricity rate time and the program will end at the latest at the finish time set.

Cleaning and care

Check and clean your dishwasher regularly. This will help avoid prob­lems and faults.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolor all sur­faces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

Generally, the wash cabinet is self cleaning if the correct amount of deter­gent is used.
If, however, there are limescale or grease deposits in the wash cabinet, these can be removed with a special cleaning agent (available from Miele). Follow the instructions on the packag­ing.
If you mainly use low temperature pro­grams (< 120°F/50 °C), there is a risk of bacteria and unpleasant odors building up in the wash cabinet. To prevent this happening the dishwasher will automat­ically increase the temperature in the fi­nal rinse of the selected program after several programs using low tempera­tures have been run.

Cleaning the door and the door seal

Bacteria could build up on the door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door as these surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets.
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe off any food or drink residues
which may have dripped onto the sides of the dishwasher door before closing it.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
76
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door front

If soiling remains longer, it may
happen that the surfaces can be­come discolored or changed.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Clean the front with a solution of
warm water and a little dishwashing liquid applied with a soft sponge. Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.
Glass cleaners may be used to
clean the exterior. However do not allow them to sit or “puddle”, this can cause damage to the surface.
Remove the cleaner promptly.
To better maintain your appliance avoid the following:
– Cleaning products containing soda,
ammonia, acid, or chloride
– Descaling agents
– Abrasive cleaning products, such as
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones,
– Cleaners containing solvents
– Stainless steel cleaners
– Dishwasher cleaner
– Oven cleaners
– Glass cleaner
– Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g., pot scourers, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents
– Eraser sponges
– Sharp metal scrapers
– Steel wool
– Steam cleaning appliances
77
Cleaning and care

Filter system

The filter system in the base of the wash cabinet prevents food from being redeposited on dishes. It also protects the circulation pump from damage caused by foreign objects.
This dishwasher must not be
used without all the filters in place!
Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.
The message Check filters will appear in the display after every 50 program cy­cles (factory default setting).
You can set the interval for the “Check filters” message to appear to a value between 30 and 60 program cycles (see “Settings menu - Check filters”).
Check the filter system.Clean it if necessary.Then confirm the message with OK.
The message will go out.

Filter system

Turn the dishwasher off.
Turn the handle counter-clockwise to
release the filter system .
Lift the filter system out of the dish-
washer . Remove any coarse parti­cles and rinse the filter well under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.
Ensure that coarse soil does not
get into the circulation system and
cause a blockage.
78
Cleaning and care
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened:
Press catches together in the di-
rection of the arrows as shown, and open the filter .
Rinse all the filters under running wa-
ter.
Then close the flap so that the catch
engages.
Replace the filter system so that it lies
flat in the base of the wash cabinet.
Then turn the handle clockwise until
both arrows point towards each other. This will lock the filter system in place.
Take care when you are fitting
the filter system that it is secured in
position correctly.
Otherwise coarse soil could get into
the circulation system and cause a
blockage.
79
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months).

washer is fitted with one).
Push the top spray arm upwards to
engage the inner ratchet. Then un­screw the spray arm.

Electrical connection

Installation, repairs and other
work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Check that the voltage, frequency and fuse rating shown on the data plate match the household mains supply.
The power outlet must be accessible after installation. Do not use an ex­tension cord to connect the dish­washer to the mains. Danger of over­heating! See data plate on the right side of the door.
A damaged power cord must only be replaced with a genuine Miele cord by a Miele service technician.

Grounding instructions

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.
In the event of a malfunction or break­down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical cur­rent. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropri­ate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor can
result in electric shock.
Do not modify the plug provided with
the appliance; if it will not fit the out-
let, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
If there is any question concerning
the proper electrical connection or
grounding of this appliance to the
powersupply, please consult a li-

Hardwired electrical connection
It is possible to hardwire this appliance to an existing power cable.
CAUTION: Before servicing, dis-
connect the power supply by either removing the fuse, shutting off the power main or manually “tripping” the circuit breaker.
Installation work and repairs should only be performed by a qualified technician in accordance with all ap­plicable codes and standards. Re­pairs and service by unqualified per­sons could be dangerous and the manufacturer cannot be held respon­sible.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency listed on the data plate correspond with the household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent machine damage. Consult an electri­cian if in doubt.
Prior to making a hardwire con-
nection to the terminal, remove the
powercord. Otherwise there will be a
risk of electric shock from the at-
tached plug.
An existing flexible supply cord or cable shall have a minimum thickness of AWG14. 120V, 60Hz, 15A fuse rating Black wire (live): connect to L White wire (neutral): connect to N Green wire (ground): connect to

Water connection

Water intake

Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
– The dishwasher may be connected to
a cold or hot water supply up to a maximum of140°F/60°C. For reduced energy consumption, we recommend a cold water connection. We recommend connection to a hot water supply only if it is economical, e.g. a solar-powered supply with re­circulation line. When connected to a hot water supply, all program phases which would otherwise be carried out with cold water will be carried out with hot water
– The Energy Saver program (if available)
requires a hot water supply between 115°F/45°C (minimum) and 140°F/60°C (maximum). The higher the water intake tempera­ture, the better the cleaning and dry­ing results.
– The inlet hose is approx.5ft long. A
5ft long flexible metal hose (pressure tested to 2030psi) is available as an optional accessory if required.
– A faucet with a 3/8" male thread
must be provided on site.
– This appliance is constructed to
comply with ANSI/ASSE 1001 // IEC/ EN/DIN 61770 // VDE 0700 Part 600, and may be connected to a suitable supply without an extra non-return valve if national regulations permit.
– Water pressure: Must be between
4.5- 145psi (0.3- 10bar) If the water pressure is lower than this, the fault message Intake will appear in the dis­play (see “Frequently asked ques­tions”). If the water pressure is too high, a pressure relief valve must be fitted.
After connecting the dishwasher to
the water supply, check that the wa-
ter intake is airtight.
To avoid any damage to the ap-
pliance, the dishwasher must only be
operated when it is connected to a
fully vented plumbing system.
The intake hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way as
it contains electrical components.
Do not sit the dishwasher on the
hose. The hose needs to be free of
kinks and able to move freely after
installation. Do not place hose or
power cord next to a heat source
e.g. hot water pipes. Do not expose
hose or power cord to corrosive sub-
stances (e.g. chloride). Damage of
hose or power cord could cause
electrical shock or water damage.
