IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety with children

Children 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
the model), keep young children away from the area in which the door opens.
Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entan-
gled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.
Keep children away from detergents. Detergents cause severe
skin burns and severe eye damage. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. It is therefore important to keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. De­tergent residues could still be present in the machine. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any deter­gents.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re­pairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher, 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 service technician. 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 as-
sured if it has been connected to the power supply.
Where the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using
a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact, 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 be-
cause 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.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency, and voltage) match the 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 service technician.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity 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 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.
Power bars and extension cords do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (risk of fire). Do not connect the dishwasher to the 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 appliance, the dishwasher must only
be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The water-connection pressure needs to be between 7.25 and
145 psi (50 and 1,000kPa).
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 Customer Service.
The manufacturer’s warranty may be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired to Miele authorized service standards.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original
Miele parts are used. Faulty components should only be replaced by original Miele parts.
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher
must be disconnected from the electricity supply (turn it off and with­draw the plug from the socket).
If the power cord is damaged, it should 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 or their vapors (e.g. chloride). Damage of hose or power cord could cause electrical shock or water damage.
This dishwasher is supplied with a special bulb (depending on the
model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g., in terms of tempera­ture, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and vibra­tion). This bulb must only be used for the purpose for which it is in­tended. The bulb is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement bulbs may only be installed by a Miele authorized technician or by Miele Customer Service.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.
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 cabinet if additional
safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance in a tall cabinet, please use the tall cabinet installation kit and ob­serve the installation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the cabinet 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 the Miele Customer Service.
The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the factory-installed door springs is 22-26.5 lb (10–12kg) depending on model.

Correct use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. There is a danger of explo-
sion.
12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Dishes may be very hot at the end of the program. Allow the
dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-
washers. 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 liq-
uid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Dish-
washer detergent will damage the softener assembly.
Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt. Other types of
salt may contain insoluble components which can cause the water softener to malfunction.
13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 cutlery 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.

Accessories and parts

Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-
ranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims will be invalidated.

Transport

Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no
water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.
If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely fas-
ten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses, and cords.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

Remove the door of the dishwasher so that children cannot be-
come trapped inside.

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

Before using for the first time

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”).
Pull the handle to open the door.
Risk of scalding due to hot wa-
ter. During operation, water in the dish-
washer may be very hot. During operation, only open the door
with extreme caution.
Risk of injury due to door open-
ing automatically. The door may open automatically at
the end of a program. Keep the area around the door free
of obstructions.

Closing the door

Insert the baskets.Raise the door upwards 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.
Open the door fully to disengage the
locking mechanism.
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.
20
Before using for the first time

Basic settings

Turning on the dishwasher

Open the door.Turn 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.
- 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 gpg (10–15°dH), always program the dishwasher to the higher value (16 gpg (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:
____________gpg (°dH)
The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level 1 gpg (1°dH).
Set the water hardness level in your
area and confirm with OK.
See “Water hardness” under “Set­tings” for more information.
21
Before using for the first time
Finally, prompts will appear in the dis­play.
After confirming these prompts with
OK, the messages Refill salt andRefill rinse aid may appear.
Add salt and rinse aid if necessary
(see “Reactivation salt” and “Rinse aid” under “Before using for the first time”).
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 duration for the pro­gram selected.
22
Before using for the first time

Reactivation salt

In order to achieve good cleaning re­sults, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on dishes and on the inner surfaces of the machine. Domestic water with a hardness level higher than 5 gpg (5°dH – German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 73 gpg (70°dH – German scale).
In order to be reactivated, the water softener requires reactivation salt. Depending on the water hardness level (<22 gpg, or <21°dH – German scale), 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 5 gpg (5°dH – German scale), 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 softener assembly. Do not fill the salt reservoir with pow-
der or liquid detergent.
Damage caused by using unsuit-
able salts. Some types of salt may contain in-
soluble components which can cause the water softener to malfunc­tion.
Use only special, coarse-grained re­activation salt.
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.
23
Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 1/2gallon (2l) 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.
Danger of corrosion due to saline
solution. Water or saline solution will run out
of the 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.
1/2gallon (2l) 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
4.4lb (2kg) 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 reser-
voir and each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, run the Quick-
IntenseWash program with the Ex­press program option selected with-
out wash items in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
24
Before using for the first time

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 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 with OK.
The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 5 gpg (5°dH – German scale).
25
Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water does not cling and leave marks on dishes during the drying phase, and helps dishes dry faster after they have 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.
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.
26
Before using for the first time

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 excess foam developing 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 color while the door is horizontally open.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approxi­mately 110ml.
27

Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally eco­nomical in its use of water and electric­ity. You can make the most of your ma­chine by following these tips:
- Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing by hand.
- There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water, and this unnec­essarily increases water and energy consumption.
- Make full use of the basket capacity without overloading the dishwasher. This results in the most economical dishwashing in terms of energy and water consumption.
- Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed (see “Program overview”).
- You can connect the dishwasher to a hot-water supply. A hot water con­nection is particularly suitable with energy-saving water heating sources, such as solar energy with a circula­tion system. If the water is heated by electricity, we would recommend connection to cold water.
- Select the Normal program for en­ergy-saving dishwashing. This pro­gram is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water con­sumption for cleaning dishware with a normal level of soiling.
- 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.
