Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.
Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of
damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dishwasher. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the electrical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher.
Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a cooktop. The high
radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktop could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason, it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as heaters etc.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply before connecting the dishwasher to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door springs.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening
mechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of injury whilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is active. To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
– the door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They
are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door cannot fall open.
– the door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens
at the end of the drying phase.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only
be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical
valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the
water inlet hose, even if it is too long.
The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water
damage, provided the following conditions are met:
– The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.
– The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced
where it can be seen that this is necessary.
– The tap has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a
longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).
The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off. However, the appliance must remain connected to the electricity supply.
The water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must
be between 50 and 1000 kPa (0.5 and 10 bar).
A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, switch it off at the mains and call Miele.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele authorised service technician only in order to avoid a hazard.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp (depending on
model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be replaced by a Miele authorised technician.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
14
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the installation instructions.
Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear
protective gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free
operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-
under (“U”) model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion kit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a U­model plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused by protruding metal parts.
The door springs on either side need to be evenly adjusted. They
are correctly adjusted if the half-opened door (approx. 45° door opening angle) remains in this position when it is released. The door must not fall down under its own weight. The appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted door springs.
15
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher
detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Seek medical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled, e.g. Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ).
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip
over it and be injured by it.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
dishwasher to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.
Dishes can be very hot at the end of a programme. Allow them to
cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may
cause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
16
Warning and Safety instructions
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model) cutlery
is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place knives and forks etc. with the handles upwards.
Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers, or plastic cutlery and crockery should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the “FlexiTimer/Delay start” option (depending on
model), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.
Please observe the information given in “Technical data” regarding
the capacity of the dishwasher.

Accessories

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

Disposal of your old dishwasher

Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot
accidentally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.
17

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips:
– For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher.
– Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and the degree of soiling.
– Select the ECO programme for
energy-saving dishwashing. This programme is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption at cleaning normally soiled crockery.
– If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply, select the SolarSave programme for washing a lightly to moderately soiled load. Because the water is not heated in this programme, crockery may still be slightly damper at the end of this programme than it would be with other programmes.
Caring for the environment
– Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent dosage.
– When using powder or liquid
detergent you can use 1/3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.
You can find further tips on energy­saving dishwashing in “Miele's guide to dishwashing”.
19
Caring for the environment

EcoFeedback consumption indicator

The Consumption function is used for calling up information about the energy and water consumption of your dishwasher (see “Settings menu ­Consumption”).
Three different types of information can be displayed:
– an estimate of the consumption
before the programme begins
– the actual consumption at the end of
the programme
– the total consumption of the
dishwasher

1. Consumption estimate:

The estimated energy and water consumption for a programme can be shown in the display.
Select the programme you want.Select the Estimated consumption
option.

2. Actual consumption

At the end of the programme you can call up the actual amount of energy and water used by the programme which has just been run.
To do this you first have to activate
the Display consumption option in the “Settings - Consumption” menu.
At the end of the programme select
the Consumption option and confirm your choice with OK.
Switching the dishwasher off at the end of the programme will delete the actual consumption values for the programme which has just been run.

3. “Consumption” setting

The Total consumption setting gives a total of the energy and water which has been used in all previous dishwasher programmes (see “Settings menu ­Consumption”).
The estimated energy and water consumption will appear in the display.
The estimated consumption levels will be displayed as a bar chart. The more bars () in the display, the more energy or water will be used.
The values are influenced by the programme selected and any programme options selected.
The consumption indicator is switched on as standard. However, you can also switch the indicator off (see “Settings menu - Consumption”).
20

Before using for the first time

Before using for the first time

Water hardness

The display will change to the screen for setting the water hardness.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed to the correct water hardness for your area.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
– Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7mmol/l (10­15°d - German scale), always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7mmol/l or 15°d in this example).
In the event of a fault, it will help the service technician if you know the hardness of your local water supply.
Enter the water hardness below:
____________mmol/l
The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 0.2 mmol/l (1°d - German scale).
Finally, prompts will appear in the display.
After confirming this with OK, the prompts Insufficient salt and
Insufficient 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 display will change to show the main menu.
Select the water hardness level for
your water supply and confirm with
OK.
See “Settings menu - Water hardness” for more information.
24
Before using for the first time

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

– approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt,
– domestic dishwasher detergent,
– rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that it has been used previously.

Dishwasher salt

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in a build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7mmol/l (4°d - German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener in the dishwasher is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70°d - German scale).
If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 0.9mmol/l (5°d - German scale), you do not have to add dishwasher salt. The prompt to add salt will be switched off automatically if the water softener has been programmed for this to happen.
Dishwasher detergent will
damage the water softener. Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as other salts (e.g. cooking salt,
agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
The water softener requires dishwasher salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 3.8mmol/l, or 21°d - German scale), dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see “Operation, Detergent”).
25
Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir

When filling the salt reservoir only
open the door halfway to ensure
that all the salt gets into the reservoir.
Press the button on the lid of the salt
reservoir in the direction of the arrow.
The flap will spring open.
Do not fill the reservoir with water.
Add dishwasher salt only until the
reservoir is full or until water runs out of the opening. The salt reservoir holds approx. 1kg of salt, depending on the brand used.
Do not add any more than 1kg of salt.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced water may overflow.
Lift up the funnel.
26
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then close the flap.
Immediately after filling the salt
reservoir, run the QuickPowerWash programme with the Short option and without any crockery in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
Before using for the first time

Add salt reminder

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt for reactivation when Insufficient salt appears in the display (If it appears during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).
Confirm with OK.
The message will go out.
Risk of corrosion!
Immediately after filling the salt reservoir, run the QuickPowerWash programme with the Short programme option selected and without any crockery in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill reminder may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. If this is the case, confirm again with OK.
If you only ever use multi-function combination products in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill reminders for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see “Settings menu ­Switching off the refill reminders”).
If you switch to using detergent that does not contain salt or rinse aid, it is important to remember to add dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to switch the reminders back on.
The refill reminder will be switched off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 0.9mmol/l (5°d - German scale).
27
Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with powder or liquid detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
– household vinegar with a max. 5%
acid content
or
– liquid citric acid up to 10% acid
content
If you only ever use combination products containing rinse aid in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid.

Adding rinse aid

Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.
Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence 25% acid).
This would damage the dishwasher.
28
Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 110 ml.
Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme.
Before using for the first time

Add rinse aid reminder

When the Insufficient rinse aid message appears in the display, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.Confirm with OK.
The message will go out.
If you only ever use multi-function combination products in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill reminders for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see “Settings menu ­Switching off the refill reminders”).
If you switch to using detergent that does not contain salt or rinse aid, it is important to remember to add dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to switch the reminders back on.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.

Notes

Remove coarse food residues from crockery.
There is no need to rinse items under running water.
Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and is distributed in the wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating grease and paint cause damage to the dishwasher.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed:
– Do not place crockery and cutlery
inside other pieces where they may be concealed.
– Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that they get properly cleaned.
– Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
– The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. If in doubt, test for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms.
– Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the baskets. Small items, e.g. lids, should therefore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model).
Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or tomato sauce. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolour if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the dishwasher on the crockery. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration. Cleaning silver cutlery in the dishwasher may also cause plastic items to discolour.
– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.
– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.
champagne glasses, should be placed in the centre of the basket to ensure better water coverage.
– Wide based items should be placed
at an angle so that water can run off them freely.
30
Loading the dishwasher

Items not suitable for dishwashers:

– Wooden cutlery and crockery or
items with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher.
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers.
– Plastic items which are not heat-
resistant: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items may discolour or become matt.
– Colours 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
spotted at the end of a programme, where water has not run off smoothly. It may need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.
Aluminium components (e.g.
rangehood grease filters) must not be cleaned with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial cleaning agents.
These may damage the material, or in extreme cases, there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Useful tip: When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-proof.

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 programme chart), or a special glass­care programme is used (depending on model). This will reduce the risk of clouding.
– Purchase glassware which is
dishwasher-safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).
– Use detergents with glass protective
additives.
Silver which has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolour. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine and marinades.

Operation

Detergent

Only use detergents formulated
for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.

Active ingredients

Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are:
– Complexing agents to prevent
calcification.
– Alkalis to aid the removal of dried on
soiling.
– Enzymes to break down starch and
loosen protein.
– Oxygen based bleaching agents to
remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents are mildly alkaline and contain enzymes and oxygen based bleaching agents.
You can also buy combination products (see “Programme 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 combination products are suitable for the water hardness level in your area. Please note that the cleaning and drying results of combination detergents can vary greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying results, use Miele dishwasher detergent and add Miele salt and Miele rinse aid separately. See “Optional accessories”.
Types of detergent:
– 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.
49
Operation

Detergent dosage

Follow the dosage recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 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 “QuickPowerWash” programme (if available) is used.
Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.
Dishwasher detergents contain
irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.
Avoid inhalation of powder detergents and do not ingest dishwasher detergent. Seek medical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep detergent and other household agents out of the reach of children at all times. Keep children away 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 add detergent just before starting the programme and close the door, activating the safety lock (if your dishwasher is fitted with one).
50

Adding detergent

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

For information

Compartment I holds max. 10 ml, Compartment II holds max. 50 ml.
There are marks in Compartment II to assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or 30 ml when the door is open in a horizontal position.

You can now empty the dishwasher.
If you have deactivated the
automatic door opening function (see “Settings menu - AutoOpen”), but would still like to open the door at the end of the programme, then make sure that you open the door fully.
Otherwise steam from the dishwasher could damage the edge of the worktop because the fan is no longer running.
54
Operation

Switching off

At the end of a programme:
The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the sensor.
Switching the dishwasher off during a programme cancels the programme.
Switching the dishwasher off during the run-up to a Delay start time will also stop the process.
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, the tap should be turned off.

Unloading the dishwasher

Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.
If you open the door fully after switching off, the dishes will cool much faster.
First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket and finally the cutlery tray (depending on model). This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and cutlery tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
55

Programme options

Delay start

There are three ways of starting the programme by means of delaying the start. You can set the start time or the finish time of a programme. You also have the option of taking advantage of time variable economy rates of electricity using the EcoStart or
SmartStart function.
When using the Delay start function, make sure that the detergent compartment is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry with a cloth if necessary. If the compartment is wet, powder detergent can become lumpy and stick to the dispenser, with the result that it is not fully dispensed. Do not use liquid detergent when selecting Delay start, as it can run into the dishwasher before it is required.
To prevent children coming into
contact with dishwasher detergent: Add the detergent immediately
before starting the programme, i.e. before activating Delay start with OK. Then lock the door with the safety lock.
Switch the dishwasher on using the
sensor.

Further programmes

Hygiene

Special programme for items which need to be hygienically clean, e.g. baby bottles and chopping boards.

SolarSave

This programme does not heat the water. To use it, the water intake temperature must be at least 45°C (see “Water connection - Connection to the water supply”). This programme is suitable for mixed loads of crockery and glassware with moderate, slightly dried on food residues.

Pasta/Paella

Programme with long soak phases incorporated for mixed loads of crockery, pots and pans and robust porcelain. This programme is particularly suitable for removing soiling containing starch left by pasta, rice and potatoes.

Glasses warm

This programme does not use rinse aid and omits the drying phase. It is particularly suitable for cleaning beer glasses where a good head of froth is needed.

Maintenance programme

The wash cabinet is largely self­cleaning. However, if residues or soiling build up in the cabinet, they can be removed by running the “Maintenance programme” without a load. This programme is designed for cleaning the wash cabinet using care products such as Miele's dishwasher cleaner or conditioner (see “Optional accessories ­Dishwasher care products). Please follow usage instructions on the packaging.

Tall items 65°C

Programme for very large heat-resistant items, (e.g. very deep pans). In this programme the upper basket needs to be removed to make space for large items in the lower basket. This programme has a medium action to remove fresh to slightly dried on residues.
68

Cleaning and care

Check your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4-6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided.
The external surfaces of this
appliance are all susceptible to scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the external surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self­cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.
If there are nevertheless limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet, these can be removed with the Miele DishClean conditioning agent (available from Miele or at shop.miele.com). Follow the dosage recommended by Miele on the packaging.
Using mainly low temperature programmes (below 50°C) could cause bacteria and unpleasant odours to build up in the wash cabinet. To avoid this, the dishwasher will increase the temperature in the final rinse of the selected programme automatically after several programmes using low temperatures have been run.

Cleaning the door and the door seal

Mould 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.
69
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door front

Soiling that is left too long might
become impossible to remove and could cause external surfaces to alter or discolour.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Clean the front with a solution of
warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. For cleaning, you can also use a clean, damp microfibre cloth, such as the Original Miele all purpose microfibre cloth, without any cleaning agent.
To avoid damaging external surfaces, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– oven cleaner,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,
– dirt erasers,
– sharp metal scrapers,
70
– steel wool or metal scourers,
– steam cleaning appliances.
Cleaning and care

Checking the filters in the wash cabinet

The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it accessing the circulation system and re-entering the cabinet through the spray arms.
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 programme cycles (factory default setting).
You can set the interval for this message to appear to between 30 and 60 programme cycles (see “Settings menu - Check filters”).

Cleaning the filters

Switch the dishwasher off.
Turn the handle anti-clockwise to
release the filter combination .
Lift the filter combination out of the
dishwasher . Remove any coarse
particles and rinse the filter well under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.
Check the filter combination.Clean it if necessary.Then confirm the message with OK.
The message will disappear. The display will change to show the programme selection menu.
During cleaning ensure that
course soil doesn't get into the circulation system and cause a blockage.
71
Cleaning and care
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened:
Press the catches together in the
direction of the arrows as shown, and
open the filter .
Rinse all the filters under running
water.
Then close the flap so that the catch
engages.
Replace the filter combination 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 combination in place.
Take care when you are fitting
the filter combination that it is secured in position correctly.
Otherwise coarse soil could get into the circulation system and cause a blockage.
72

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).
Switch the dishwasher off.
Remove the spray arms as follows:
Take out the cutlery tray (if your
dishwasher is fitted with one).
Push the top spray arm upwards to
engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.
Cleaning and care
Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.
Push the middle spray arm upwards
to engage the ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm .
Remove the lower basket.
Use a pointed object to push food
particles into the spray arm jets.
Rinse thoroughly under running
water.
Refit the spray arms and check that
they rotate freely.

making sure it goes on correctly and is not cross-threaded.
Turn on the tap.
If water leaks out, the inlet hose may not be connected securely or it may have been screwed on at an angle.
Unscrew and reconnect the inlet hose
correctly.
85
Maintenance

Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve

If the 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.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug.
Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and care
- Cleaning the filters”).
Scoop the water out of the cabinet
using a suitable container or utensil.
The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow).
Remove all foreign objects from the
drain pump (watch out for glass or bone splinters which are particularly difficult to detect and could cause injury). Turn the drain pump impeller by hand to check that there are no more obstructions. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.
Press the catch for the non-return
valve inwards .
Tilt the non-return valve inwards until
it is released.

Electrical connection

This dishwasher is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to an AC single phase supply, (230 - 240 V 50 Hz for NZ and Australia) via a suitable switched socket.
The electrical socket must be
easily accessible after the dishwasher has been installed. Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the appliance solely to an inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source e.g. solar power. When switched on, peak loads in the system can cause the safety switch-off mechanism to be triggered. This can damage the electronic unit. The machine must not be used with so­called energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the machine, causing it to overheat.
Before connecting the appliance,
check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage, frequency, rated load and fuse rating) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The data plate is located on the right­hand side of the door.
All electrical work must be
carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30mA.
90

Water connection

The Miele Waterproof system

As long as your dishwasher has been installed correctly, the Miele waterproof anti-leak system will protect you from water damage.

Connection to the water supply

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. We would only recommend connection to a hot water supply if it is economical, e.g. a solar powered supply. When connected to a hot water supply, all programmes will be carried out with hot water.
– The SolarSave programme (if
available) requires a hot water supply of between 45°C (minimum) and 60°C (maximum). The higher the water intake temperature, the better the cleaning and drying results.
91
Water connection
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5m long.
– A tap with a 3/4" male thread must
be provided on site.
– IMPORTANT: Australia and New
Zealand This appliance must be installed according to AS/NZS 3500.1. Back flow prevention is already integrated in the appliance.
– The water pressure (flow pressure at
the take-off point) must be between 50 and 1000 kPa (0.5 and 10 bar). If the water pressure is lower than this, the fault message Water intake will appear in the display (see “Problem solving guide”). If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducer valve must be fitted.
After connecting the dishwasher to the water supply, check that all plumbing connections are watertight.
To avoid any damage to the
appliance, the dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
The inlet hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way as it contains electrical components (see illustration).
92
Water connection

Drainage

– The appliance drainage system is
fitted with a non-return valve which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher 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 to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4 m, and the delivery head must not exceed 1 m.
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the hose clip supplied (see installation diagram).
– The hose can be directed to the left
or the right of the appliance.
– The on-site connector for the drain
hose can be adapted to different widths of hose. If the connector protrudes too far into the drain hose, it will need to be shortened. Otherwise the drain hose may become blocked.

Venting the drainage system

If the on-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 appliance to empty itself of water.
To vent it: Open the dishwasher door
fully.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.
Cut off the top of the vent valve in the
wash cabinet.
– The drain hose must not be
shortened.
Make sure that there are no kinks
in the hose, and that it is not squashed or stretched.
After commissioning the appliance, ensure that the water outlet does not leak.

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 tariffs (see “Programme options - Delay start with EcoStart - EcoStart”). With this option selected, your dishwasher will start automatically at your electricity supplier's cheapest tariff times.
To use this option, you must first set up to three electricity tariff time zones in which the dishwasher can start. You can allocate different priorities to these time zones. The time with the cheapest electricity tariff will be given Priority 1.
Contact your electricity supplier to find out the times of the cheapest electricity tariffs.
Once the electricity tariff times have been set, you can use the EcoStart option to set the latest finish time required for each programme. The dishwasher will then start automatically in the cheapest electricity tariff time and the programme will end at the latest at the finish time set.
