Warning and safety instructions

This dishwasher conforms to current 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 its in­stallation, safety, use and maintenance. This is to protect yourself
from injury and prevent damage to the dishwasher.

In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the dishwasher as well as the safety instruc­tions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.

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

7

Warning and safety instructions

Appropriate use

 This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and

similar working and residential environments.

 This dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use.
 This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 4000m

above sea level.

 This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic crock-

ery and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted.

 The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use
it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.

8

Warning and safety instructions

Safety with children

 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the dish-

washer unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children aged 8 and older may only use the dishwasher without

supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.
Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the dishwasher

unsupervised.

 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. There is a danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault
with the opening mechanism.

 Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become en-

tangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head and risk 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 dishwasher. Seek med­ical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any deter­gents.

9

Warning and safety instructions

Technical safety

 Unauthorised 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 this dishwasher can only be guaranteed

when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety re­quirement is present. 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 earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

 Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be as-

sured 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 using a fused 3-pin plug (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
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 hob. The high

temperatures radiated by hobs could damage the dishwasher below.
For the same reason, the appliance 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.

10

Warning and safety instructions

 Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate

(fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the mains 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 mains. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

 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.

 The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mech-

anism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
whilst 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 (fire hazard). Do not connect the
dishwasher to the mains electricity supply using a multi-socket ad­apter or an extension lead.

 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 occurring. 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.

11

Warning and safety instructions

 The plastic housing of the water connection contains a solenoid

valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.

 There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the hose,

even if it is too long.

 The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water

damage, provided that the following conditions are met:

- Installation has been carried out correctly

- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced
where this is noticeably required

- The stopcock is turned off during longer absences from the home
(e.g. whilst on holiday).

The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is
switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to
the electricity supply.

 The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50 and

1,000kPa.

 A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher

gets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and call your
Miele dealer or Miele Service.

 While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-

dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.

 We recommend replacing defective components with original

spare parts. If original Miele spare parts are installed correctly, Miele
ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty
remains valid.

 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the dishwasher

must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply (switch it off
and withdraw the plug from the socket).

12

Warning and safety instructions

 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be re-

placed with a specific mains connection cable of the same type
(available from the Miele Customer Service Department). For safety
reasons this must only be done by the Miele Customer Service De­partment or a Miele authorised technician.

 This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp (depending on the

model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g. in terms of temperat­ure, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibra­tion). This lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is in­tended. The lamp is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement
lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the
Miele Customer Service Department.

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 worktop that 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 set and observe the
installation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit
tipping over.

13

Warning and safety instructions

 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 Department.

The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the
factory fitted door springs is 10–12kg (depending on model).

Correct use

 Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Risk 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 open door or trip over it.

 Do not sit or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could tip

over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.

 Crockery may be very hot at the end of the programme. 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 washing-up liquid.

 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).

14

Warning and safety instructions

 Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.

This will cause damage to the reservoir.

 Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or li-

quid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.

 Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Deter-

gent will damage the water softener.

 Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure kit-

chen salt for reactivation. Other salts may contain insoluble additives
that can impair the functioning of the water softener.

 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 that 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. If it is not, wipe it until dry. The detergent
will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this
may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.

 Please observe the information given in the “Technical data”

chapter regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.

Accessories and spare parts

 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-

ranty, performance and, if applicable, product liability claims will be
invalidated.

15

Warning and safety instructions

 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-

imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your dishwasher.

Transport

 Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before

using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage.
Never use a damaged dishwasher.

 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 mains connection
cables.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater­ial

The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.

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, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons­ible for deleting any personal data that
may be stored on the appliance being
disposed of. Please ensure that your
old appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

22

Before using for the first time

Every dishwasher is tested at the fact­ory. There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an in­dication that the dishwasher has been
used previously.

Opening the door

In some programmes the door automat­ically opens slightly to assist the drying
process.
This function can be deactivated, if pre­ferred (see “Settings” chapter,
“AutoOpen”).

At the end of the programme, 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 wash functions are automatically in­terrupted.

 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 programme.
Keep the area around the door free

of obstructions.

 To open the door, reach under the

door grip and pull.

 Open the door fully to disengage the

locking mechanism.

23

Before using for the first time

Closing the door

 Push the baskets right in.
 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.

Activating the safety lock

Use the safety lock to prevent children
opening the dishwasher door. The door
can then only be opened by using a lot
of force.

 To lock the door, push the slide un-

derneath the door grip to the right.

 To unlock the door, push the slide to

the left.

24

Before using for the first time

Miele@home

Your dishwasher is equipped with an
integrated WiFi module.

In order to use it you will need:

- A WiFi network

The WiFi connection shares a frequency
range with other appliances (including
microwave ovens and remote control
toys). This can give rise to sporadic or
even complete connection failures.
Therefore, the availability of featured
functions cannot be guaranteed.

Miele@home availability

The ability to use the Miele app de­pends on the availability of the
Miele@home service in your country.

The Miele@home service is not avail­able in every country.

For information about availability,
please visit www.miele.com.

Miele App

The Miele App is available to download
free of charge from the Apple App

Store® or from the Google Play Store™.

Connecting your dishwasher to your
WiFi network will increase energy con­sumption, even when the dishwasher is

28

Before using for the first time

Dishwasher 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
crockery and on the wash cabinet walls.
Mains water with a water hardness level
higher than 0.9mmol/l (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

12.6mmol/l (70°dH – German scale).

In order to maintain the functions of
the water softener, it must be reactiv­ated regularly. Reactivation occurs
automatically every ninth programme
sequence. At the start of the next pro­gramme, an additional 4.4l of water is
required for this process. Energy con­sumption increases by 0.015kWh and
the programme is extended by
3minutes.
The above only applies to the ECO
programme at a water hardness of

2.5mmol/l (14°dH – German scale).
For other programmes and water
hardness levels, the frequency of re­activation will differ.

In order to be reactivated, the water
softener requires dishwasher salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(<3.8mmol/l, or <21°dH – German
scale), dishwasher salt is not required if
combination detergents are being used
(see “Detergent – Active ingredients”).

If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 0.9mmol/l
(5°dH – German scale) you do not
need to add dishwasher salt. The salt
refill indicator will automatically switch
off after the water hardness has been
set accordingly (see “Settings – Water
hardness”).

 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 unsuit-

able salts.
Some types of salt may contain in-

soluble components which can
cause the water softener to malfunc­tion.

Only use special coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen
salt for reactivation.

If you only ever use combination de­tergent products in your dishwasher,
you can switch off both refill reminders
if you wish (see “Settings – Refill re­minders”).

Please make sure that if you stop us­ing combination detergents, you refill
the dishwasher salt and rinse aid.
Switch the refill reminders back on if
required.

29

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.
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. Saline solution that runs out
can cause corrosion in the wash
cabinet and to the dishwasher load.

The salt reservoir should therefore
only be opened in order to replenish
the salt.

 Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2l

of water (first use only).

 Place the funnel provided over the

salt reservoir and carefully fill with
dishwasher salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds up to
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 container cap, run the
65°CQuickPowerWash pro-
gramme with the Express pro­gramme option selected without a
load in the dishwasher to dissolve
and remove any traces of salt from
the wash cabinet.

30

Before using for the first time

Refilling the salt

 When Refill salt appears in the dis-

play, wait until the end of the pro­gramme and then refill the salt reser­voir.

 Confirm with OK.

The salt refill indicator will go out.

 Risk of corrosion due to saline

solution.
Saline solution that runs out can

cause corrosion in the wash cabinet
and to the load items.

Each time you remove the salt reser­voir cap, you must run the
65°CQuickPowerWash pro-
gramme with the Express pro­gramme option selected without any
load 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 salt refill indicator may still appear in
the display if the salt concentration has
not yet reached the correct level. In this
case, confirm the message again with
OK.

The salt refill indicator will be switched
off if you have programmed the dish­washer for a water hardness below

0.9mmol/l (5°dH – German scale).

31

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that
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 container
and the amount set is dispensed auto­matically.

 Washing-up liquid or detergent

can cause damage.
Washing-up liquid and detergent can

damage the rinse aid container.
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
on the crockery 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 products in your dishwasher,
you do not need to add rinse aid.
However, for optimum rinsing and
drying results, use dishwasher deter­gent and add dishwasher salt and
rinse aid separately.

If you only ever use combination de­tergent products containing salt and
rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch off both refill reminders if you
wish (see “Settings – Refill remind­ers”).

Please make sure that if you stop us­ing combination detergents, you refill
the dishwasher salt and rinse aid.
Switch the refill reminders back on if
required.

32

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
programme.

 Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This

prevents excess foam developing
during the next programme.

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for the best wash result (see “Set­tings” chapter, “Rinse aid” section).

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

When the refill reminder Refill rinse aid
appears in the display, the reservoir
contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3
programmes only.

 Refill with rinse aid in plenty of time.
 Confirm with OK.

The rinse aid refill reminder will disap­pear.

 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 110ml.

Water hardness

Your dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener.

- You should programme 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 1.8 and 2.7mmol/l (10–
15°dH - German scale) always pro­gramme the dishwasher to the higher
value (2.7mmol/l or 15°dH in this ex­ample).

If the water hardness in your area is
available in a unit other than °dH, you
can convert the values as follows:
1°dH = 0.18mmol/l = 1.78°fH

Setting the water hardness level

 Select the water hardness level in

your area and confirm using OK.

AutoDos (automatic dispens­ing)

Automatic dispensing automatically ad­justs the amount of detergent to the se­lected programme. In the Auto45–
65°C programme, the quantity is adjus­ted depending on the degree of soiling
of the crockery.

If you want to extend the service life of
the PowerDisk, you can reduce the dis­pensing quantity. The programme’s
cleaning performance may decrease as
a result.
If you want to improve the cleaning per­formance, you can increase the dis­pensing quantity. This reduces the ser­vice life of the PowerDisk.

Dosage amount settings

For best results, you can adjust the dis­pensing quantity of the PowerDisk.

 Select the Dosage amount menu op-

tion and confirm with OK.

 Select the setting you want and con-

Caring for the environment

Economical 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:

- 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.

- For the most economical dishwash­ing, 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 the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling (see “Pro­gramme overview”).

- If you are manually dosing the deter­gent, reduce the amount of detergent

by 1/3 when using powder or liquid
detergent if the baskets are only half
full.

- Select the ECOprogramme for en­ergy-saving dishwashing. This pro­gramme is the most efficient in terms
of its combined energy and water
consumption for cleaning dishes with
a normal level of soiling.

- If you have a hot water connection,
choose the SolarSave programme
(see “Installation – Water inlet”). The
wash water will not be heated up dur­ing this programme.

- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on detergent
dosage.

49

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” chapter, “Con­sumption” section).

The following information can be shown
on the display:

- 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

After a programme has been selected,
first the name of the programme and
after a few seconds the estimated en­ergy consumption and water con­sumption will appear in the display.

2. Display consumption

At the end of the programme you can
call up the actual amount of energy and
water used by the programme that has
just been run.

 Confirm the Consumption (OK)mes-

sage with OK.

Switching the dishwasher off at the
end of the programme will delete the
actual consumption values for the pro­gramme that has just been run.

3. Total consumption

You can view the total consumption of
energy and water for all previously used
programmes of your dishwasher (see
“Settings” chapter, “Consumption” sec­tion).

The estimated consumption will be
shown as a bar chart. The more bars
that are visible (), the higher the en­ergy or water consumption.

The values are influenced by the pro­gramme, any programme options selec­ted, the ambient conditions and the size
of the load.

The display will change automatically
from showing the estimated consump­tion to showing the time remaining.

The estimated consumption function is
activated as standard. This function can
be deactivated, if preferred (see “Set­tings”, “Consumption” section).

50

Caring for the environment

Heat accumulator

This dishwasher is equipped with a heat
accumulator, in which fresh water for
the programme is pre-heated and
stored in order to save energy. The heat
accumulator is refilled with fresh water
towards the end of each rinse cycle.
The water is held here ready for the
next rinse cycle.

If you do not wish to use this function, it
can be switched off (see “Settings –
Heat accumulator”).

If the water in the heat accumulator has
not been used for several weeks, the
water will be automatically drained off
for hygiene reasons. This procedure
takes a few minutes and will occur even
with the dishwasher switched off or the
door open.
Please ensure that the dishwasher is
properly connected.

The display will remain dark while the
heat accumulator is drained off. If you
touch the sensor control, the display
will show the message Empty accumu-

lator. Other functions will be unavailable

during this procedure.
Automatic emptying cannot be interrup­ted.
During the subsequent programme se­quence, water and energy consumption
will be higher.

The heat accumulator should only be
used in conjunction with a cold water
connection.

This function should be switched off
if your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water connection.

The heat accumulator can be manually
drained for transporting the dishwasher,
e.g. when moving house (see “Settings
– Heat accumulator”).

Loading the dishwasher

General information

Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.

There is no need to pre-rinse items un­der running water.

 Damage can be caused by ash,

sand, wax, lubricating grease or
paint.

These substances will contaminate
the dishwasher and can then no
longer be removed.

Do not wash items soiled with these
substances in 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 items where they will cover
one another.

- Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that
they get properly cleaned.

- The spray arms must not be blocked
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets. 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 such as lids should
therefore be placed in the 3D
MultiFlex tray or cutlery basket (de­pending on model).

Some foods may contain natural dyes,
e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup.
These dyes can discolour plastic items
in the dishwasher if large quantities of
these foods are in contact with the
crockery inside the appliance. The sta­bility of plastic items is not affected by
this discolouration.
Washing silverware can also cause
plastic items to discolour.

- Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.

- Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pots etc. must be placed upside
down in the baskets.

- Tall and narrow hollow items, such as
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the middle of the basket
rather than in the corners. This en­sures the hollow items are more eas­ily accessed by the water jets.

- Wide-based items should be placed
at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.

52

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: such items
are not suitable for dishwashers.

- Plastic items that are not heat resist­ant: the high temperatures in the
dishwasher may cause them to melt
or lose shape.

- Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items: these may discolour or be­come dull.

- Colours painted over a glaze: these
may fade after a number of washes.

- Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal: clouding may
occur over time.

Silver

Silver that has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon­naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine
and marinades.

Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or spot-

ted at the end of a programme, where
water has not run off smoothly.

 Damage due to caustic alkaline

detergents.
Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease fil-

ters of cooker hoods) can be dam­aged by caustic alkaline detergents.
In extreme cases, there is a risk of an
explosive chemical reaction (such as
an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reac­tion).

Aluminium components must not be
cleaned in the dishwasher with
caustic alkaline commercial or indus­trial detergents.

Tip: When purchasing new crockery
and cutlery, make sure they are dish­washer-proof if you want to wash them
in the dishwasher.

Glass care

- Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing in the dishwasher.
When washing delicate glassware in
the dishwasher, ensure that only a
special glass care programme with
very low temperatures is selected
(see “Programme overview”). This will
reduce the risk of clouding.

- Purchase glassware that is dish­washer-safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).

- Use detergents with glass protective
additives.

Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.

Detergent

Active ingredients

 Damage caused by using unsuit-

able detergents.
Detergents that are not suitable for

domestic dishwashers can cause
damage to the dishwasher or to the
load.

Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers.

Modern detergents contain various act­ive ingredients, the most important of
which are:

- Water softening complexing agents
to prevent calcification.

- Alkalis to aid 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).

There are different types of detergent:

- Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the size of the load and level of soil­ing.

- Tab detergents. These are suitable for
most levels of soiling.

As well as the usual detergents, com­bination products are also available.
These contain rinse aid and water
softener (dishwasher salt).
Only use these combination detergents
for the water hardness levels recom­mended by the manufacturer on the
packaging.
The cleaning and drying performance of
these combination detergents can vary
greatly.

For optimum cleaning and drying res­ults, use dishwasher detergent and
add salt and rinse aid separately.

Most dishwasher detergents are mildly
alkaline and contain enzymes and oxy­gen-based bleaching agents.

63

Detergent

 Risk of chemical burns from de-

tergent.
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.

Keep children away from detergents.
Detergent residues could still be
present in the dishwasher. Keep chil­dren away from the dishwasher when
the door is open. Do not fill the de­tergent dispenser until just before
starting the programme and activate
the door safety lock (depending on
model).

Detergent dosage

There are two ways of dispensing the
detergent.

During automatic dispensing the Auto­Dos will automatically dispense the re­quired amount of detergent for each
programme sequence once a
PowerDisk has been inserted (see “De­tergent” chapter, “Automatic dispens­ing/AutoDos” section).

If you do not wish to use automatic dis­pensing, you can manually dispense the
detergent into the detergent compart­ment. This means you will have to fill
the required amount of detergent into
the detergent compartment before each
programme (see “Detergent” chapter,
“Manual detergent dispensing” section).

64

Detergent

Automatic dispensing/AutoDos

Before you can use AutoDos, you must
insert a PowerDisk containing powder
detergent into the PowerDisk compart­ment.

One PowerDisk contains enough deter­gent for approx. 20cycles, depending
on the chosen programme.

PowerDisks are available to order dir­ectly from Miele’s online store, the
Miele Customer Service Department
or from your Miele dealer.

 Risk of chemical burns from re-

sidual detergent.
Detergents have a caustic effect.

This can cause health problems and
damage to surfaces. If the AutoDos
is used incorrectly or leaks, residual
detergent may drip onto the floor
area in front of the dishwasher.

Always remove residual detergent
from in front of the dishwasher im­mediately.

Activating AutoDos

 Switch the dishwasher on using the

sensor control.

 Before you first use AutoDos, remove

the transport lock from the PowerDisk
compartment and dispose of it ap­propriately.

 Insert a PowerDisk (see the “Auto-

matic dispensing/AutoDos” chapter,
“Inserting a PowerDisk” section).

The AutoDos function will be activ­ated automatically.
The messageAutoDos activated will ap­pear in the display.

This setting applies to all programmes
and you can change it at any time using
the AutoDossensor control.

If no programme is started for 48
hours, the PowerDisk will automatic­ally be rotated so that the detergent
does not clump together. If this hap­pens, the messagePowder refreshing
will be shown in the display when the
dishwasher is switched on. No deter­gent will be dispensed.

65

Detergent

Inserting a PowerDisk

Switch on the dishwasher before you
replace the PowerDisk so that the
dishwasher recognises it.

Only replace the PowerDisk when the
messagePowerDisk empty. Deactivate

AutoDos with OK appears.

 Turn the AutoDos lid to  and open

it.

The message AutoDos lid open will ap­pear on the display.

 Remove the empty PowerDisk.

 If the arrows in the PowerDisk holder

and in the viewing window are not
pointing towards each other, remove
the PowerDisk holder (see “Cleaning
and care – Cleaning the AutoDos”).

 Put the holder back into place so that

the arrows point towards each other
and the holder lies flat.
When doing this, only touch the
PowerDisk holder by the yellow tab in
the middle. Do not touch the side tab.

 Insert the new PowerDisk and press it

evenly downwards until it sits flush.

66

 Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until

the lid handle is directly below the
symbol.

If the PowerDisk is not in the correct
starting position, it will be rotated auto­matically and the AutoDos function
will be activated.
Wait until this procedure ends before
you start a programme.

Detergent

The detergent powder must be dry
so that it does not clump together.

Do not fill the AutoDos with any type
of fluid.

In order to ensure that the AutoDos
works at its best, check it each time
you replace the PowerDisk and clean
it if needed (see “Cleaning and care –
Cleaning the AutoDos”).

The AutoDos lid must be closed to
prevent damage to the AutoDos.

Always close the AutoDos lid before
you close the dishwasher door. Oth­erwise, the AutoDos may become
damaged.

Programmes cannot start when the
AutoDos lid is open.

67

Detergent

Manual detergent dispensing

Detergent must be manually dispensed
if you have deactivated automatic dis­pensing using the AutoDossensor
control.

Detergent dispensing

The detergent compartment holds a
maximum of 50ml.

There are marks in the detergent com­partment to aid with dispensing: 20, 30,
max. When the door is opened to a ho­rizontal position, they show the approx­imate fill level in ml and the maximum
fill height.

 Follow the detergent dosage recom-

mended by the manufacturer on the
packaging.

 Unless directed otherwise, use one

detergent tab or add 20 to 30ml of
detergent to the detergent compart­ment, depending on the degree of
soiling of the crockery.

Adding detergent

 Press the yellow button  on the lid

of the detergent compartment.

The lid will spring open.
The lid will also open at the end of a
programme.

Failure to dispense the recommended
amount of detergent may impair clean­ing results.

Some tabs may not dissolve completely
when the programme QuickPowerWash
is used.

68

 Add the detergent to the detergent

compartment.

 Push the lid shut until you hear it click

into place.

The detergent must not cause the
detergent compartment lid to get
stuck. This can prevent the lid from
opening during the programme se­quence.

Do not overfill the detergent com­partment.

 If you wish, deactivate automatic dis-

pensing/AutoDos.

 Ensure that the detergent packaging

is properly closed after use. This pre­vents the detergent from getting
damp and clumping together.

Detergent

 You can also apply a small amount of

detergent to the inner panel of the
door in programmes that have a pre­wash stage (see “Programme over­view”).

69

Operation

70

If any programme options are selected,
the appropriate sensor controls will also
light up.

Operation

Display programme duration

The estimated duration of the selected
programme appears on the display be­fore the programme begins. During the
programme, the time left until the end of
the programme is displayed.

Symbols appear to indicate which stage
the programme is at:

 Pre-wash/Soak
 Main wash
 Interim rinse
 Final rinse
 Drying
 End

The displayed duration may vary with
the same programme. It is influenced
by, for example, the water temperature
at each inlet, the reactivation process of
the water softener, the detergent type,
and the amount of dishes and how
soiled they are.

Starting the programme

 Touch the Startsensor control.

If necessary, confirm the previously
displayed message with OK.

The programme starts.

The Startsensor control lights up.

During the programme sequence, you
can use OK to display the name of the
programme that is currently running.

 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.

When a programme is selected for the
first time, the display will show the aver­age programme duration for a cold wa­ter inlet.

The programme durations shown in the
“Programme overview” chapter refer to
standard test loads and temperatures.

Each time a programme is run, the con­trol-display module calculates the pro­gramme duration required according to
the temperature of the water taken into
the dishwasher and the size of the load.

71

Operation

End of programme

The buzzer might sound at the end of
the programme.

The programme has ended when the
display shows the Finishedmessage.

In some programmes, if the AutoOpen
function is activated, the door will auto­matically open slightly (see “Settings”
chapter, “AutoOpen” section). This im­proves the drying process.

If the Consumptionprogrammable func­tion is switched on, you can now call up
the actual energy and water consump­tion of the programme that has just fin­ished (see “Caring for the environment”
chapter, “EcoFeedback consumption
indicator” section).

The drying fan may continue to run for
a few minutes at the end of the pro­gramme.

 Risk of damage due to steam.

Steam from the dishwasher could
damage the edges of delicate work­tops when you open the door at the
end of the programme if the fan is no
longer running.

If you have deactivated the auto­matic door opening function (see
“Settings” chapter, “AutoOpen” sec­tion), but would still like to open the
door at the end of the programme,
then make sure that you open the
door fully.

Energy management

To save energy the dishwasher will
switch off automatically 10 minutes
after the last time a sensor control is
pressed or after the end of a pro­gramme.

You can switch the dishwasher back on
again with the sensor control.

If the dishwasher has been switched off
for longer than 1minute, you will need
to hold the sensor control for a bit
longer (wipe protection).

The dishwasher will not switch itself
off whilst a programme is running or if
there is a fault.

72

Operation

Switching off the dishwasher

 The dishwasher can be switched off

at any time using the sensor con­trol.

 Confirm the query Switch appliance off

with OK.

Switching the dishwasher off during a
programme stops the programme.

You can also do this to stop an ongoing
timer.

 Risk of damage from leaking wa-

ter.
Water leakage can cause damage.
If the dishwasher is not going to be

used for a longer period of time, e.g.
whilst on holiday, the stopcock
should be closed as a precaution.

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 3D
MultiFlex tray (if present).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and 3D MultiFlex tray
from falling onto the dishes in the
lower basket.

73

Operation

Interrupting a programme

A programme will be interrupted as
soon as the door is opened.
If the door is closed again, the pro­gramme will continue from the point it
was at before the door was opened.

 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.

Cancelling or changing a pro­gramme

If a programme is cancelled, import­ant programme stages may be
missed.

A programme should only be can­celled in the first few minutes of the
programme sequence.

If a programme has already started and
you wish to cancel it, proceed as fol­lows:

 Switch the dishwasher off using the

sensor control.

 Confirm the query Switch appliance off

with OK.

If you would like to select another pro­gramme:

 Switch the dishwasher back on using

the sensor control.

 If you have dispensed detergent

manually, check whether the deter­gent compartment is still closed.
If the lid is already open, fill it with de­tergent again and close the lid.

74

 Select the programme you want, and

then start it.

Options

Timer

The timer gives you several options
for starting a programme at a later time.
You can set the start time or the finish
time of a programme. You can also use
the EcoStart or SmartStartfunctions to
benefit from cheaper electricity tariffs at
night.

With manual detergent dispensing
the detergent will clump together if
the detergent compartment is not
dry, and this may mean it is not fully
rinsed out.

When using the timer function, make
sure that the detergent compartment
is dry before adding detergent. Wipe
dry with a cloth first, if necessary.
Do not use any liquid detergents.
These can leak out.

 Danger to health due to deter-

gent.
To prevent children coming into con-

tact with dishwasher detergent:
Do not fill the detergent dispenser

until just before starting the pro­gramme, i.e. before you activate the

timer. Use the safety lock to secure
the dishwasher door.

Activating the timer

 Switch the dishwasher on using the

Programme overview

Further programmes

PowerWash60°C

Programme for cleaning a mixed load
with normal household food residues.

ExtraQuiet55°C

Very quiet programme with longer dura­tion. This programme is suitable for a
mixed load with normal household food
residues that have dried on slightly.

SolarSave

Programme operating without heating
when the dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply of at least 45°C (see
“Installation – Water inlet”). This pro­gramme is suitable for cleaning a mixed
load with normal household food
residues that have slightly dried on.

Hygiene70°C

Special programme for hard-wearing
items with normal household food
residues that have dried on slightly,
which need to be hygienically clean,
e.g. baby bottles and chopping boards.

Maintenance programme

The dishwasher wash cabinet is gener­ally self-cleaning. However, if residues
or deposits occur, use the Mainten-

anceprogramme to clean it. The dish-

washer must not be loaded for this pro­gramme. This programme is designed
for cleaning the wash cabinet using
care products (dishwasher cleaner/
dishwasher conditioner) (see “Optional
accessories” chapter, “Appliance care”
section). Follow the instructions on the
packaging. When using dishwasher
care products, detergent should not be
dispensed. For this reason, automatic
dispensing (if available) will be deactiv­ated for this programme.

84

Programme options

Selecting programme options

You can use programme options to ad­just the programmes.

To do this, you can select or deselect
the programme options before running
the programme.

 Switch the dishwasher on using the

sensor control.

The Startsensor control flashes.

 Select a different programme as re-

quired.

 Touch the sensor control for the pro-

gramme option you want.

The appropriate sensor control will light
up when the programme options are
available for the selected programme.

If the programme option is not compat­ible with the selected programme, a
message to this effect will appear in the
display.

 In this instance, confirm the message

with OK.

 Press the Startsensor control to start

the programme.

The selected programme option will re­main active for that particular pro­gramme until the setting is changed (ex­cept for the ECOprogramme).

IntenseZone

The IntenseZone programme option increases cleaning performance in the lower basket.

Energy consumption increases due to
the extended wash duration in the lower
basket and increased temperature.

Express

The Express programme option re­duces the programme duration.

In order to achieve optimum cleaning
results, the temperature, and therefore
the energy consumption, will increase
with this option.

The time by which the programme dura­tion is shortened varies according to the
selected programme.

Selecting the Express programme
option may take precedence over other
selected options.

When used in combination with the
QuickPowerWash programme, the
Express programme option results
in a rinse designed solely for the pur­pose of flushing out the chamber to
remove salt solution that leaked out
after refilling the salt reservoir.

85

Cleaning and care

Check the condition of your dish­washer regularly (approx. every 4–6
months). In this way, faults and prob­lems can be avoided.

 Damage due to unsuitable clean-

ing agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to

scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or discol­our the external surfaces.

Only use cleaning agents formulated
for use on the relevant surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self-clean­ing, provided that the correct amount of
detergent is always used.

The frequent use of low-temperature
wash programmes (<50°C) increases
the risk of contamination and odours in­side the wash cabinet. Run the Intens-
ive 75°C programme once per month
to clean the wash cabinet and prevent
odours from developing.

However, if residues such as limescale
or grease have been deposited, use the

Maintenance programme to clean the

dishwasher (see “Programme overview
– Additional programmes”) with
dishwasher cleaner (see “Optional ac­cessories – Appliance care”). Follow the
instructions on the product packaging.

Miele cleaning and care products are
available to order from the Miele Cus­tomer Service Department or from the
Miele online shop.

86

 Clean the filters in the wash cabinet

regularly.

Cleaning and care

Hygiene cycle

If you mainly use low temperature pro­grammes, there is a risk of bacteria and
unpleasant odours building up in the
wash cabinet. If you repeatedly use low
temperature programmes, you should
regularly run a high temperature pro­gramme. This is to prevent the build-up
of residues and odours.

You can activate or deactivate a Hy­giene info message (see “Settings – Hy­giene cycle”).
If you deactivate this message, run the
Intensive75°Cprogramme once per
month to clean the wash cabinet and
prevent odours from developing.

Cleaning the door and the door seal

The door seal and the sides of the dish­washer door cannot be reached and
cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a res­ult, mould can develop here.

 Wipe the door seals regularly with a

damp cloth to remove food deposits.

 Wipe off any food or drink residues

that may have dripped onto the sides
of dishwasher door.

Cleaning the control panel

 The control panel should only be

wiped with a damp cloth.

87

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the appliance front

 Damage due to soiling.

Soiling that is left too long might be­come impossible to remove and
could cause the external surfaces to
alter or discolour.

It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.

 Clean the appliance front with a clean

soft sponge and a solution of warm
water and washing-up liquid. After
cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using
a soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfibre cloth
without detergent can also be used.

To avoid damaging the external sur­faces, do not use the following:

- Detergents containing soda, ammo­nia, acids or chlorides

- Detergents containing descaling
agents

- Abrasive detergents, e.g. scouring
powder, scouring liquid, or pumice
stones

- Detergents containing solvents

- Stainless steel cleaning agents

- Dishwasher cleaner

- Oven cleaner

- Glass cleaning agents

- Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges that have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents

- Eraser stain remover blocks

- Sharp metal scrapers

88

- Wire wool

- Steam cleaners

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the AutoDos

If the Clean AutoDos message is dis­played, check that the fill channel is
clean, and clean it if necessary, e.g.
powder residues. This helps keep the
AutoDos working properly.

In order to ensure that the AutoDos
works at its best, check it each time
you replace the PowerDisk and clean
it if needed.

 Turn the AutoDos lid to  and open

it.

 Remove the PowerDisk if appropriate.

 Pull the PowerDisk holder upwards

by the yellow tabs and remove it.
When doing so, do not pull on the

gets inside the AutoDos system dur­ing cleaning.

 Dry the fill channel well so that the

detergent powder does not clump to­gether.

 Insert the fill channel again until the

tab clicks into place.

The AutoDos lid must close tightly so
that the detergent powder does not
get wet and clump together.

Make sure that all seals are clean.

 Insert a PowerDisk.
 Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until

the lid handle is directly below the
symbol. (see “Detergent – Inserting
a PowerDisk”).

Regularly check the lower spray arm
for any blockages to ensure that the
detergent outlet of the AutoDos can
be fully flushed out (see “Cleaning
and care – Cleaning the spray
arms”).

 Put the holder back into place so that

the arrows in the PowerDisk holder
and in the viewing window point to­wards each other. The holder must lie
flat.

90

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm nozzles and bearings. The
spray arms should therefore be inspec­ted regularly (approx. every 2–
4months).

Never run a wash programme
without using the spray arms.

 Damage due to soiling entering

the circulation system.
Without filters, soiling can enter the

circulation system and cause a
blockage.

filters, coarse soiling can enter the
circulation system and cause a
blockage.

Do not run a wash programme
without the lower spray arm or
without the filters.

93

Cleaning and care

Checking the filters in the wash cabinet

The filter combination in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse soiling
from the suds solution. This prevents
soiling getting into the circulation sys­tem and re-entering the wash cabinet
through the spray arms.

 Damage due to soiling entering

the circulation system.
Without filters, soiling can enter the

circulation system and cause a
blockage.

Do not run a wash programme
without the lower spray arm or
without the filters.

When cleaning the filters and spray
arms, make sure that coarse soiling
cannot get into the circulation sys­tem.

The filters can become blocked by soil­ing that collects over time. The level of
soiling and the time it takes before the
filters need cleaning will vary depending
on use.

Cleaning the filters

 Switch the dishwasher off.
 Remove the lower spray arm (see

“Cleaning and care” chapter, “Clean­ing the spray arms” section).

 Before removing the filter combina-

tion, remove any coarse soiling to

circulation system and cause a
blockage.

Do not run a wash programme
without the lower spray arm or
without the filters.

95

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw
thread to protect the water inlet valve. If
the filter is soiled, insufficient water
flows into the wash cabinet.

 Risk of electric shock from mains

voltage.
The plastic housing of the water con-

nection contains an electrical valve.
The housing must not be dipped in

water.

 Disconnect the dishwasher from the
