Warnings and safety instructions
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
dishwasher unless they are constantly supervised.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance.
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.
Never allow children to play with the dishwasher. There is a danger
that children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
If the automatic door opening mechanism is active (depending on

Warnings and safety instructions
Technical safety
Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and
repairs must only be carried out by a qualified technician.
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it
for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.
The electrical safety of the dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly grounded. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should
be checked by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
or lack of grounding system (e.g., electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be
assured if it has been connected to the domestic electricity supply.
If the dishwasher is plugged into the domestic electricity supply
using a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact (it must not be hardwired), the electrical socket must be easily accessible after the
dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the
domestic electricity supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher
because the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of
overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up
against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The
high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the
dishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be
installed next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat,
such as heaters etc., not normally found in a kitchen.
8
Warnings and safety instructions
Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency, and voltage) match the domestic electricity
supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of
damage to the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the
appliance to the electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the domestic electricity supply
until it has been fully installed and any adjustments have been made
to the door springs.
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
the model) is active.
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
- The door springs must be evenly adjusted 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.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (risk of fire). Do not connect the
dishwasher to the domestic electricity supply using a power bar or
an extension cord.
The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g., on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The reliability of
the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below
freezing point.
To avoid any damage to the dishwasher, it must only be operated
when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
9
Warnings and safety instructions
The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50 and
1,000kPa.
A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher
gets damaged, turn it off at the electricity supply immediately and
contact your Miele dealer or Miele Service.
The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorized service technician.
We recommend replacing defective components with original

ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty
remains valid.
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher
must be disconnected from the domestic electricity supply (turn it off
and withdraw the plug from the socket).
If the power cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a
specific cable of the same type (available from Miele Service). For
safety reasons, this must only be done by Miele Service or a service
technician authorized by Miele.
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 the
hose or power cord next to a heat source e.g., hot water pipes. Do
not expose the hose or power cord to corrosive substances (e.g.,
chloride). Damage to the hose or power cord could cause electrical
shock or water damage.
Correct installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the supplied installation sheet.
Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.
Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/being cut. Wear
protective gloves.
10
Warnings and safety instructions
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 countertop which is
secured to adjacent cabinetry.
The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additional
safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance
in a tall unit, please use the tall unit installation kit and observe the
installation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit
tipping over.
The door springs must be evenly adjusted 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 must only be operated with properly adjusted door
springs.
If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact Miele Service.
The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the
factory fitted door springs is 10–12kg (depending on model).

Do not use solvents in the wash cabinet. There is a danger of
explosion.
Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the
eyes, nose, mouth, and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not
inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents.
Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed
or inhaled.
Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could
injure yourself on the opened door or trip over it.
Do not sit, stand, or lean on the opened door. The dishwasher
could tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.
11
Warnings and safety instructions
Dishware may be very hot at the end of the program. Allow
dishware to cool until it is comfortable enough to handle before
unloading them.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers. Do not use liquid dish soap.
Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may
cause material 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 damage to the rinse aid reservoir.
Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or
liquid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.
Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt or other pure
evaporated salt. Other types of salt may contain insoluble
components which can cause the water softener to malfunction.
In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives
and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket
for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles
downwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle
down in the basket will come out cleaner and drier.
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 timer option (depending on model), the detergent
compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary.
The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is
not dry, and this may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.
12
Warnings and safety instructions
Accessories and spare parts
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims will
be invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packaging
material
The cardboard box and packaging
materials protect the appliance during
shipping. They have been designed to
be biodegradable and recyclable.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also the
amount of waste.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for the proper
functioning and safe use of the
equipment. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Therefore, please
do not dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
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.
19
Initial commissioning
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory. There will be residual water in
the machine from this test. It is not an
indication that the dishwasher has
been used previously.
Opening the door
In some programs the door
automatically opens slightly to assist
the drying process.
This function can be deactivated, if
preferred (see “AutoOpen” under
“Settings”).
At the end of the program, if the
AutoOpen function is on, the door
locking pins automatically retract.
To prevent a technical fault, do not
hold the door locking pins firmly
when they are retracting.
If the door is opened during operation,
all functions are automatically
interrupted.
Risk of scalding due to hot
water.
During operation, water in the
dishwasher may be very hot.
During operation, only open the door
with extreme caution.
Risk of injury due to door
opening automatically.
The door may open automatically at
the end of a program.
Keep the area around the door free
of obstructions.
To open the door, reach under the
recessed grip and pull the handle.
Open the door fully to disengage the
locking mechanism.
20
Initial commissioning
Closing the door
Push the baskets in.
Raise the door upward until the catch
engages.
Risk of crushing due to the door
closing.
When closing the door, you are at
risk of shutting your fingers in it.
Do not put your hand inside the door
as it is closing.
Activating the child lock

opening the dishwasher door. The door
can then only be opened by using a lot
of force.
To lock the door, push the slide
underneath the door grip to the right.
To unlock the door, push the slide to
the left.
21
Initial commissioning
Basic settings
Switching on the dishwasher
Switch the dishwasher on with the
button.
The welcome screen will appear when
the dishwasher is turned on.
For further information about the
display functionality, see “Display
functions” under “Guide to the
appliance”.
Setting the language
The display will change automatically to
the screen for setting the language.
Select the language you want as well
as the country, if applicable, using
the buttons and confirm with OK.
For further information on setting the
language, see “Language” under
“Settings”.
A check will appear next to the
language that has been set.
Setting the water hardness
The display changes to the screen for
setting the water hardness.
- You should program the dishwasher
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 10–16gr/gal (10–
15°dH), always program the
dishwasher to the higher value (16gr/
gal (15°dH) 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 (°dH)
The dishwasher is programmed at the
factory for a water hardness level 1gr/
gal (1°dH).
22
Set the water hardness level in your
area and confirm with OK.
See “Water hardness” under
“Settings” for more information.
Initial commissioning
Finally, prompts will appear in the
display.
After confirming these prompts with
OK, the messages Refill salt and
Refill rinse aid may appear.
Add salt and rinse aid if necessary
(see “Reactivation salt” and “Rinse
aid” under “Initial commissioning”).
Select OK to confirm the messages.
The program selected will appear in the
display briefly and the indicator light for
the program selected will come on.
The display will then show the
estimated program cycle time for the
program selected.
23
Initial commissioning
Reactivation 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 dishware and in the dishwasher.
Domestic water with a hardness level
higher than 5gr/gal (5°dH) must be
softened. This occurs automatically in
the integrated water softener. The water
softener is suitable for a water hardness
level of up to 73gr/gal (70°dH).
In order to be reactivated, the water
softener requires reactivation salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(<22gr/gal, or <21°dH), reactivation
salt may not be required if combination
detergents are being used (see “Active
ingredients” under “Detergents”).
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 5gr/gal(5°dH), you do not need to add
reactivation salt. The salt refill
indicator will automatically turn off
after the water hardness has been set
accordingly (see “Water hardness”
under “Settings”).
Damage to the water softener
from detergent.
Dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Damage caused by using
unsuitable salts.
Some types of salt may contain
insoluble components which can
cause the water softener to
malfunction.
Use only special, coarse-grained
reactivation salt or other pure
evaporated salt.
24
If you only ever use combination
detergent products in your
dishwasher, you can turn off both refill
reminders if you wish (see “Refill
reminders” under “Settings”).
Please make sure that if you stop
using combination detergents, you
refill the reactivation salt and rinse
aid. Turn the refill reminders back on
if required.
Filling the salt reservoir
Before filling the salt reservoir for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
2l of water to enable the salt to
dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used
once, there is always sufficient water
in the salt reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.
Initial commissioning
Danger of corrosion due to saline
solution.
Water or saline solution will run out
of the salt reservoir when the cap is
opened. Salt solution that runs out
can cause corrosion in the wash
cabinet and to the wash items.
The cap should therefore only be
removed in order to refill the salt
reservoir.
Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2l
of water (first use only).
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
reactivation salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds up to
2kg of salt, depending on the type of
salt used.
Clean off salt residues from around
the salt reservoir opening. Next,
screw the salt reservoir cap on again
firmly.
Immediately after filling the salt
reservoir and each time you remove
the salt reservoir cap, run the
65°C QuickIntenseWash program
with the Express program option
selected without wash items in the
dishwasher to dissolve and remove
any traces of salt from the wash
cabinet.
25
Initial commissioning
Refilling the salt
Fill the salt reservoir with reactivation
salt when Refill salt appears in the
display.
Confirm with OK.
The salt refill indicator will go out.
Danger of corrosion due to saline
solution.
Salt solution that runs out can cause
corrosion in the wash cabinet and to
the wash items.
Each time you remove the salt
reservoir cap, you must run the
65°C QuickIntenseWash program
with the Express program option
selected without wash items in the
dishwasher. This will dissolve and
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. In this
case, still confirm the message again
with OK.
The salt refill indicator will be turned off
if you have programmed the dishwasher
for a water hardness below 5gr/gal
(5°dH).
26
Initial commissioning
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on
dishware during the drying phase and
helps dishware dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the container
and the amount set is dispensed
automatically.
Liquid dish soap or detergent
can cause damage.
Liquid dish soap and detergent can
damage the rinse aid reservoir.
Only fill it with rinse aid formulated
for domestic dishwashers.
Alternatively, you could use liquid citric
acid at a concentration of up to 10%.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
will not, however, be as good as when
rinse aid is used.
Risk of acid damage.
The dishwasher can be damaged by
high concentrations of acid.
Under no circumstances should you
use citric acid with a higher acid
content.
If you only ever wish to use
combination detergent products in
your dishwasher, you do not need to
add rinse aid.
However, for optimum rinsing and
drying results, use dishwasher
detergent and add reactivation salt
and rinse aid separately.
If you only ever use combination
detergent products containing salt and
rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can
turn off both refill reminders if you
wish (see “Refill reminders” under
“Settings”).
Please make sure that if you stop
using combination detergents, you
refill the reactivation salt and rinse
aid. Turn the refill reminders back on
if required.
27
Initial commissioning
Adding rinse aid
Press the yellow button on the lid
of the rinse aid reservoir.
The lid will spring open.
Close the lid firmly until you hear it
click 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 wash results (see “Rinse aid”
under “Settings”).
Filling the rinse aid reservoir
When Refill rinse aid appears in the
display, the reservoir contains sufficient
rinse aid for 2–3 programs only.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
Confirm with OK.
The rinse aid refill indicator will go out.
Fill with rinse aid until the filling level
indicator (arrow) changes to a dark
colour while the door is horizontally
open.
The rinse aid reservoir holds
approximately 110ml.
