IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This dishwasher complies with all current local and national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material damage.
Please observe the installation sheet and read the operating instructions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using it for the first time. They both contain important information on the installation, safety, use, and maintenance of the machine. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the dishwasher.
Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the section on installing the dishwasher as well as the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by noncompliance with these instructions.
Keep the installation sheet and the operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Appropriate use
This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and similar residential environments.
This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.
This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 1,300 ft (4,000 m) above sea level.
This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic dishes and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
7
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 entangled 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 assured 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 fasten 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.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing mate-
rial
The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!
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.
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.

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.
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.
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 and
Refill 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 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.
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 reservoir and each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, run the 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.
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.
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.
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.
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”).
-Select the Normal program for en- ergy-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 deter-
1
gent, you can use /3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.
-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.
