IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This dishwasher complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the dishwasher, please read the installation plan and the operating instructions carefully before it is installed and used for the first time. Both contain important information on its installation, safety, use and maintenance.

Keep the installation plan and the operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and similar residential environments.

This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.

It must only be used as specified in these operating instructions for cleaning domestic dishes and cutlery. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety with children

Children must be kept away from the appliance unless they are constantly supervised.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Keep small children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the risk of injury. There is the risk that children may lock themselves in the dishwasher.

If the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is active keep young children away from the area in which the door opens. Danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the opening mechanism.

Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.

Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. Seek medical attention immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be performed 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 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 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 assured 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.

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.

Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply by a multisocket 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 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.

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.

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-au- thorized 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 particular 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.

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 protective 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.

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 dishwasher 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 dishwashers. 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 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.

IMPORTANT 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 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 accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.

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.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials. They also contain certain substances, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these materials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with regular household waste and follow local regulations on proper disposal.

Consult with local authorities, dealers or Miele in order to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances.

Miele assumes no responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance being disposed. Please ensure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal. Observe safety requirements for appliances that may tip over or pose an entrapment hazard.

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 (depending 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 /3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.

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 recessed handle and pull.

Open the door fully to disengage the locking mechanism.

The door locking pins will retract.

If the door is opened during operation, all functions are automatically interrupted.

Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding!

Only open the door during operation if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so.

Keep the area around the door free of obstructions.

Before using for the first time

Closing the door

Push the baskets in.

Then raise the door upwards until the catch engages.

The door will then close automatically.

Danger of crushing injuries!

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

Before using for the first time

Water hardness

The display changes 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 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).

Select the water hardness level for your water supply and confirm with

OK.

See “Settings menu, Water hardness” for more information.

The message Set up successfully com-

pleted will then appear in the display.

After confirming this message OK, the refill indicators 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 display will switch to the main menu.

The prompt to set up the dishwasher for first use will not appear again after you have run the first complete program.

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).

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”).

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 damage 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.

Before using for the first time

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.

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

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.

Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.

Immediately after filling the salt reservoir, run the 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.

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 message 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.

The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 5 gr/gal

(5 °d).

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.

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Adding 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.

Press the button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

Before using for the first time

Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.

3.7oz. (110 ml).

Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a program.

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”).

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 message 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”).

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.

–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.

–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.

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 spotted at the end of a program, where water has not run off smoothly. It may need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.

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.

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.
