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 Miele authorised 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 continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. 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 earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of the dishwasher can only be assured
if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The dishwasher must only be connected to the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket using a 3-pole plug with protective contact (it must not be hardwired). The 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 concealed behind the
dishwasher because the building-in niche may be too small, creating a risk of overheating if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against the plug (fire hazard).
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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the electricity supply to prevent damage to the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the appliance to the mains electricity. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
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, as otherwise there could be a danger when the automatic door opening is activated (depending on the model). 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). The door must not fall open on its own beyond this point.
- The door locking pin retracts automatically after the drying phase when the door is opened.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply using a multi-socket adapter or an extension cord.
The dishwasher must not be installed and operated in mobile
locations (e.g. on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses can break or burst. 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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical
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 water protection system offers protection from
water damage, provided the following conditions are met:
- Installation has been carried out correctly.
- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced when they are visibly damaged.
- The tap 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 contact Miele customer service.
The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.
Defective components must be replaced with original parts. If
original Miele 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 electricity supply (switch it off and withdraw the plug from the socket).
11
Warning and Safety instructions
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be
replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician or by Miele in order to avoid a hazard.
This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp (depending on the
model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g. 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 qualified electrician or a Miele authorised technician.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Correct installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in accordance
with the installation instructions and the supplied installation plan.
Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.
Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/cutting. Wear protective gloves.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure
trouble-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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additional
safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance in a tall unit, please use the "Tall unit installation kit" and observe the installation plan provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit tipping over.
The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are
correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45° opening angle). The door must not fall open on its own beyond this point. The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door springs. If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact Miele customer service.
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. There is a danger of
explosion.
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher
detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Do not inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Contact a Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or the National Poisons Centre (NZ).
Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could
injure yourself on the open door or trip over it.
Do not sit, stand, or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could
tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Dishes 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
dishwashers. 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).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the rinse aid reservoir.
Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or
liquid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.
Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure
evaporated salts for reactivation. Other types of salt (such as cooking salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain insoluble components which 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 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.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
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 it may not be fully rinsed out.
Please observe the information listed under Technical data
regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.

Accessories and spare parts

Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum 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 transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally 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. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

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. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.
21

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 programmes the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “Settings - AutoOpen”).
To open the door, reach under the
door grip and pull.
Open the door fully to disengage the

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 functions are automatically interrupted.
Risk of scalding due to hot
water. During operation, water in the
dishwasher may be very hot. Only open the door if absolutely
necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle.
Risk of injury due to door
opening automatically. The door may open automatically at
the end of a programme. Keep the area around the door free
of obstructions.

Finally, the display will show the estimated programme duration for the programme selected.
27
Using for the first time

Dishwasher salt

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft (low limescale) water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the appliance. Water with a 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 12.5mmol/l (70°dH - German scale).
The water softener requires reactivation 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 “Detergents - Types of detergents”).
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 detergents. Dishwasher detergents will damage
the water softener. Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Damage caused by using
unsuitable salts. Other types of salt (such as cooking
salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain insoluble components which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure evaporated salts for reactivation.
28
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.

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Using for the first time
Risk 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 to replenish the salt.
Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2l
of water (first use only).
Place the funnel provided on 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
container, run the 65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the Express option and without any load in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
29
Using for the first time

Replenishing salt

When Refill salt appears in the
display 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 dishwasher load.
Each time you have opened the salt reservoir lid, immediately run the 65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the Express option and without any dishes. This will dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill reminder may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. In this case, confirm with OK again.
The salt refill indicator is deactivated if the dishwasher is set to a water hardness below 0.9mmol/l (5 °dH ­German scale).
30
Using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling to and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase, and it helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.
Damage caused by washing-up
liquid or detergents. Dishwasher detergent will destroy
the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill rinse aid designed for
domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Alternatively, you can use liquid citric acid with up to 10% acid content. The dishes will be more moist and stained than with rinse aid.
Damage caused by acids.
The dishwasher can be damaged by acids with a higher concentration.
Never use citric acid or vinegar with a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar essence 25% acid).
If you only ever use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you do not need to fill the rinse aid reservoir. However, the best rinsing and drying results will be achieved by using a detergent together with separate dishwasher salt and rinse aid.
If you want to permanently use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you can switch off the refill reminders for salt and rinse aid 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.
31
Using for the first time

Adding rinse aid

Lift the yellow catch on the lid of the
rinse aid container .
The lid will spring open.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results (see "Settings - Rinse aid").

Refilling rinse aid

When the Refill rinse aid message appears, the reservoir only contains sufficient rinse aid for another 2 - 3 programmes.
Add rinse aid in good time.Confirm with OK.
The refill rinse aid reminder will go out.

Caring for the environment

Economical dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can support the economical operation of your appliance by following these tips:
- Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing dishes by hand.
- Pre-rinsing dishes under running water is not necessary and 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 use of the dishwasher 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 chart”).
- 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, select the SolarSave programme (see “Installation – Water intake”). The wash water will not be heated up during this programme.
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on detergent dosage.
48
Caring for the environment

EcoFeedback consumption display

The "Consumption" function is used for calling up information about the energy and water consumption of your dishwasher (see "Settings ­Consumption (EcoFeedback)").
The following information can be viewed in 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 to date

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

2. Displaying consumption

At the end of the programme, you can call up the actual energy and water consumption for the programme that has just been run.
Confirm the messageConsumption
(OK) 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 call up the total consumption of energy and water for all programmes you have run on your dishwasher to date (see “Settings - Consumption (EcoFeedback)”).
The estimated consumption will be shown as a bar chart. The more bars are shown (), 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.

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.
Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the baskets. However, please try to observe the following notes:
- Do not place dishes and utensils inside other items where they will cover one another.
- Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that they will 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 be placed in the 3D MultiFlex tray or in the cutlery basket (depending on model).
Some foods such as carrots, tomatoes, or tomato sauce may contain natural dyes. These dyes can discolour plastic items in the dishwasher if large quantities of these foods are in contact with the crockery inside the machine. 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, and saucepans etc. must be inverted in the baskets.
- Tall and narrow, hollow items such as champagne glasses should be placed in the centre 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.
50
Loading the dishwasher

Items not suitable for washing in the dishwasher:

- Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts. These may discolour and fade. Furthermore, the glue used in these items is not dishwasher safe. Wooden handles may come loose after being washed in the 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.
Silverware
Silver can discolour when in contact with foods containing sulphur. 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
spotted at the end of a programme, as water has not run off smoothly.
Damage due to caustic alkaline
detergents. Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease
filters of rangehoods) 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.
Useful tip: When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe 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, select a special glass care programme with a low temperature (see “Programme chart”). This will reduce the risk of clouding.
- Purchase glassware that is dishwasher safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).
- Use detergents with glass protective additives.
Useful tip: Rub the silverware dry with a cloth.

Detergents

Types of detergents

Damage due to unsuitable
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).
Most dishwasher detergents are mildly alkaline and contain enzymes and oxygen-based bleaching agents.
There are different types of detergents:
- Powder and liquid gel detergents. These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the size of the load and the level of soiling.
- Tablet 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 (reactivation 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.

Detergents
Risk of chemical burns from
detergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause
burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat.
Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergent. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
Keep detergents out of reach of children. Detergent residues could still be present in the machine. 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 dispensing

There are two ways of dispensing the detergent.
During automatic dispensing, the AutoDos function will automatically dispense the required amount of detergent for each programme once a PowerDisk has been inserted (see “Detergents - Automatic dispensing/ AutoDos”).
If you do not wish to use AutoDos, 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 “Detergents - Manual detergent dispensing”).
68
Detergents

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 selected programme.
PowerDisks are available to order directly from the Miele online store or a Miele Experience Centre.
Risk of chemical burns from
residual 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.
Before you use AutoDos for the first
time, remove the transport lock from the PowerDisk compartment and dispose of it appropriately.
Insert a PowerDisk (see “Automatic
dispensing/AutoDos - Inserting a PowerDisk“).
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.
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 appear in the display
when the dishwasher is switched on. No detergent is dispensed during this refreshing process.
69
Detergents

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.
Slide the yellow catch of the AutoDos
lid to and open it.
The message AutoDos lid open will appear in 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 hold the PowerDisk holder by the yellow tab in the middle. Do not hold it by the side tab.
Insert the new PowerDisk and press it
evenly downwards until it sits flush.
70
Close the AutoDos lid and slide the
yellow catch until it is aligned with 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 process is finished before you start a programme.
Detergents
The detergent powder must be dry so that it does not clump together.
Do not fill the AutoDos with any type of liquid.
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 be damaged.
Programmes cannot start when the AutoDos lid is open.
71
Detergents

Manual detergent dispensing

Detergent must be manually dispensed if you have deactivated automatic dispensing with the AutoDossensor.

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
recommended 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

Lift the yellow catch on the lid of the
detergent compartment .
The lid will open. The lid will also be open at the end of the programme.
If you use less than the recommended amount of detergent, the dishes may not get properly clean.
Some tabs may not dissolve completely when the programmeQuickPowerWash is used.
72
Add the detergent to the detergent
compartment.
Slide 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.
Automatic dispensing/AutoDos
should be deactivated if detergent is manually dispensed.
Ensure that the detergent packaging
is properly closed after use. This prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together.
Detergents
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 chart”).
73

Operation

Switching on the dishwasher

Make sure the spray arms can rotate

74
If any programme options are selected, the appropriate sensor will light up.
Operation

Display of programme duration

The estimated duration of the selected programme appears in the display before the programme begins. During the programme, the time left until the end of the programme is displayed.
Each programme stage is indicated by a symbol:
Pre-wash/SoakMain washInterim rinse Final rinse Drying Finish
The displayed duration may vary for the same programme. It is influenced by, for example, the temperature of the incoming water, the reactivation cycle of the water softener, the detergent type, and the amount of dishes and how soiled they are.

Starting a programme

If necessary, confirm the previously
displayed message with OK.
Touch the Startsensor.
The programme will start.
The Startsensor 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
water. During operation, water in the
dishwasher may be very hot. Only open the door if absolutely
necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle.
When a programme is selected for the first time, the display will show the average programme duration for a cold water connection.
The programme durations shown in the “Programme chart” refer to standard test loads and temperatures.
Each time a programme is run, the control module calculates the programme duration depending on the temperature of the water taken into the dishwasher and the size of the load.
75
Operation

At the end of the programme

The signal tones may sound at the end of the programme.
The programme has finished when the display shows the message Finished.
In some programmes, if the AutoOpen function is activated, the door will automatically open slightly (see “Settings – AutoOpen”). 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 – EcoFeedback consumption display”).
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 – AutoOpen”), 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 is pressed or after the end of a programme.
You can switch the dishwasher back on again with the sensor.
If the dishwasher has been switched off for longer than 1minute, you will need to touch the sensor for slightly longer (wipe protection).
The dishwasher will not switch itself off while a programme is running or if there is a fault.
76
Operation

Switching off the dishwasher

The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the sensor.
Confirm the query Switch appliance off
with OK.
Switching the dishwasher off during a programme cancels the programme.
You can also do this to stop an ongoing timer.
Risk of damage from leaking
water. Overflowing water can cause
damage. If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, the tap should be turned off.

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.
The dishes will cool much faster if you open the door when the programme has ended.
First unload the lower basket, then
the upper basket, and finally the 3D MultiFlex tray. This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and 3D MultiFlex tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
77
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
water. During operation, water in the
dishwasher may be very hot. Only open the door if absolutely
necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle.

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 with the
sensor.
Confirm the query Switch appliance off
with OK.
If you would like to select another programme:
Switch the dishwasher back on using
the sensor.

Programme for cleaning a mixed load with fresh food deposits which have begun to dry on.
ExtraQuiet55°C
Very quiet programme with longer duration. This programme is suitable for a mixed load with lightly dried on food deposits.

SolarSave

Programme operating without heating when the dishwasher is connected to a hot water supply of at least 45°C (see “Installation – Water intake”). This programme is suitable for cleaning a mixed load with lightly dried on food deposits.
Hygiene70°C
Special programme for robust items with lightly dried on food deposits, which need to be hygienically clean, e.g. baby bottles and cutting boards.

Maintenance programme

The dishwasher wash cabinet is generally self-cleaning. However, if residues or deposits occur, use the
Maintenance prog.programme to clean
it. The dishwasher 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 - Appliance care”). Follow the instructions on the packaging. When using dishwasher care products, no detergent should be added. For this reason, automatic dispensing (if available) is deactivated for this programme.
88

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 starting the programme.
Switch the dishwasher on using the
sensor.
The Startsensor flashes.
Select a programme as required.Touch the sensor for the programme
option you want.
The appropriate sensor will light up when the programme option is selected.
If the programme option is not compatible with the selected programme, a message to this effect will appear in the display.
In this event, confirm the message
with OK.
Press the Startsensor to start the
programme.
The selected programme option will remain active for that particular programme until the selection is changed.
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 wash cabinet to remove salt solution that leaked out after refilling the salt reservoir.
89

Cleaning and care

Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4–6months). This way, faults and problems can be avoided.
Damage caused by unsuitable
cleaning agents. All surfaces of this appliance are
susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour all surfaces.
Only use cleaning agents formulated for use on the relevant surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self­cleaning, 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 Intensive 75°C programme once a month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odours from developing.

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 build­up 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.
However, if residues such as limescale or grease have been deposited, use the
Maintenance prog. programme to clean
the dishwasher (see “Programme chart – Further programmes”) with dishwasher cleaner (see “Optional accessories – Maintenance”). Follow the instructions on the product packaging.
Miele cleaning and care products are available to order from Miele Service or from Miele’s online store.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
90
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door and the door seal

The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door are not accessed 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
which may have dripped onto the sides of the dishwasher door before closing it.

Cleaning the control panel

The control panel should only be
wiped with a damp cloth.

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 front with a soft sponge
and a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid. After cleaning, wipe the front dry using a soft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth (such as the Original Miele all purpose microfibre cloth) without detergent can also be used.
91
Cleaning and care
To avoid damaging the external surfaces, do not use the following:
- cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides
- cleaning agents containing descaling agents
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners
- solvent-based cleaning agents
- stainless steel cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaners
- oven cleaners or sprays
- glass cleaning agents
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scourers, brushes, or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents
- dirt eraser sponges
- sharp metal scrapers
- steel wool or metal scourers
- steam cleaners
92
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the AutoDos

You should check that the detergent fill channel is clean every time you replace the PowerDisk, and clean it if necessary, e.g. powder residues. This should be done at the latest when the Clean AutoDos message is displayed. 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.
Slide the yellow catch of the AutoDos
lid to and open it.
Remove the PowerDisk if applicable.
Pull the PowerDisk holder upwards
by the yellow tabs and remove it. When doing so, do not pull on the side tab.
1 PowerDisk holder
2 Detergent chute for dispensing the
detergent from the PowerDisk into the wash cabinet
Use the tab (see arrow) to release
the fill channel and pull it out.
93
Cleaning and care
Clean the fill channel with water and a
soft brush if necessary.
It is very important that no moisture 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 until the tab
clicks into place.
