IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This dishwasher complies with all current local and national safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal in­jury and material damage.

Please observe the installation sheet and read the operating in­structions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using it
for the first time. They both contain important information on the
installation, safety, use, and maintenance of the machine. This pre­vents both personal injury and damage to the dishwasher.

Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the
instructions in the section on installing the dishwasher as well as
the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non­compliance with these instructions.

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

7

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Appropriate use

 This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and

similar residential environments.

 This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.
 This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 13,000ft

(4,000m) above sea level.

 This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic dishes

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

 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil-

dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge.

8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety with children

 Children must be kept away from the dishwasher unless they are

constantly supervised.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance.
 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.

Never allow children to play with the dishwasher. There is a danger
that children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

 If the automatic door opening mechanism is active (depending on

the model), keep young children away from the area in which the
door opens.

 Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entan-

gled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over
their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away
from children.

 Keep children away from detergents. Detergents cause severe

skin burns and severe eye damage. They can cause burning in the
mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. It is therefore important to
keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. De­tergent residues could still be present in the machine. Seek medical
advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any deter­gents.

9

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

 Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause

considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re­pairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.

 Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before

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

 The electrical safety of the dishwasher can only be guaranteed

when correctly grounded. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should
be checked by a qualified service technician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
or lack of grounding system (e.g., electric shock).

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

sured if it has been connected to the power supply.

 Where the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using

a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact, the electrical socket must be
easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be
disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.

 There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher be-

cause the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheating
and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.

 The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The

high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the dish­washer below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be in­stalled next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such
as heaters etc., not normally found in a kitchen.

10

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

(fuse rating, frequency, and voltage) match the electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to
the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the appliance to
the electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified service
technician.

 Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply until it has

been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.

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

nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
while the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on the
model) is active.
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:

- The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are
correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half
open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the
door cannot fall open.

- The door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens
at the end of the drying phase.

 Power bars and extension cords do not guarantee the required

safety of the appliance (risk of fire). Do not connect the dishwasher
to the electricity supply using a power bar or an extension cord.

 The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location

(e.g., on a ship).

 Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of

frost. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The reliability of
the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below
freezing point.

 To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only

be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.

11

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 The water-connection pressure needs to be between 7.25 and

145 psi (50 and 1,000kPa).

 A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher

gets damaged, turn it off at the electricity supply immediately and
contact your Miele dealer or Miele Customer Service.

 The manufacturer’s warranty may be invalidated if the appliance is

not repaired to Miele authorized service standards.

 We recommend replacing defective components 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 (turn it off and with­draw the plug from the socket).

 If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced with a spe-

cific cord of the same type (available from Miele Customer Service).
For safety reasons, this must only be done by Miele Customer Ser­vice or a service technician authorized by Miele.

 Do not sit the dishwasher on the hose. The hose needs to be free

of kinks and able to move freely after installation. Do not place hose
or power cord next to a heat source e.g. hot water pipes. Do not ex­pose hose or power cord to corrosive substances or their vapors
(e.g. chloride). Damage of hose or power cord could cause electrical
shock or water damage.

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

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

12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct installation

 The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance

with the supplied installation sheet.

 Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.

Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/being cut. Wear pro­tective gloves.

 The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure

problem-free operation.

 In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers

must only be installed under a continuous countertop which is se­cured to adjacent cabinetry.

 The dishwasher must only be built into a tall cabinet if additional

safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance
in a tall cabinet, please use the tall cabinet installation kit and ob­serve the installation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger
of the cabinet tipping over.

 The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are

correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half
open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door
cannot fall open.
The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door
springs.
If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact the Miele Customer
Service.

The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the
factory-installed door springs is 22-26.5 lb (10–12kg) depending on
model.

Correct use

 Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. There is a danger of explo-

sion.

13

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the

eyes, nose, mouth, and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not
inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents.
Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed
or inhaled.

 Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could

injure yourself on the opened door or trip over it.

 Do not sit, stand, or lean on the opened door. The dishwasher

could tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.

 Dishes may be very hot at the end of the program. Allow the

dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before
unloading them.

 Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-

washers. Do not use liquid dish soap.

 Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may

cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive
chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).

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

This will cause damage to the rinse aid reservoir.

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

uid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.

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

washer detergent will damage the softener assembly.

 Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt. Other types of

salt may contain insoluble components which can cause the water
softener to malfunction.

14

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives

and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket
for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles down­wards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle down
in the cutlery basket will come out cleaner and drier.

 Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,

such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dish­washer may cause them to melt or lose shape.

 If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent

compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary.
The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is
not dry, and this may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.

Accessories and parts

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

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

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

mum 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 fas-

ten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses, and power cords.

15

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Disposal of your old dishwasher

 Remove the door of the dishwasher so that children cannot be-

come trapped inside.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mate­rial

The cardboard box and packing materi­als protect the appliance during ship­ping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Dan­ger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these mate­rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There­fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with regular household waste
and follow local regulations on proper
disposal.

Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please en­sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob­serve safety requirements for appli­ances that may tip over or pose an en­trapment hazard.

20

Before using for the first time

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

Before using for the first time

Reactivation salt

In order to achieve good cleaning re­sults, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in
the build-up of calcium deposits on
dishes and on the inner surfaces of the
machine.
Domestic water with a hardness level
higher than 5 gpg (5°dH – German
scale) must be softened. This occurs
automatically in the integrated water
softener. The water softener is suitable
for a water hardness level of up to 73
gpg (70°dH – German scale).

In order to be reactivated, the water
softener requires reactivation salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(<22 gpg, or <21°dH – German scale),
reactivation salt may not be required if
combination detergents are being used
(see “Active ingredients” under “Deter­gents”).

If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 5 gpg
(5°dH – German scale), you do not
need to add reactivation salt. The salt
refill indicator will automatically turn
off after the water hardness has been
set accordingly (see “Water hardness”
under “Settings”).

 Damage to the water softener

from detergent.
Dishwasher detergent will damage

the softener assembly.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with pow-

der or liquid detergent.

 Damage caused by using unsuit-

able salts.
Some types of salt may contain in-

soluble components which can
cause the water softener to malfunc­tion.

Use only special, coarse-grained re­activation salt.

26

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

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

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
1/2gallon (2l) of water to enable the
salt to dissolve.

Once the dishwasher has been used
once, there is always sufficient water
in the salt reservoir.

 Remove the lower basket from the

wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.

Before using for the first time

 Danger of corrosion due to saline

solution.
Water or saline solution will run out

of the reservoir when the cap is
opened. Salt solution that runs out
can cause corrosion in the wash
cabinet and to the wash items.

The cap should therefore only be re­moved in order to refill the salt reser­voir.

 Fill the salt reservoir with approx.

1/2gallon (2l) of water (first use only).

 Place the funnel provided over the

salt reservoir and carefully fill with re­activation salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds up to

4.4lb (2kg) of salt, depending on the
type of salt used.

 Clean off salt residues from around

the salt reservoir opening. Next,
screw the salt reservoir cap on again
firmly.

 Immediately after filling the salt reser-

voir and each time you remove the
salt reservoir cap, run the Quick-

IntenseWash program with the Ex­press program option selected with-

out wash items in the dishwasher to
dissolve and remove any traces of
salt from the wash cabinet.

27

Before using for the first time

Refilling the salt

 Fill the salt reservoir with reactivation

salt when Refill salt appears in the
display.

 Confirm with OK.

The salt refill indicator will go out.

 Danger of corrosion due to saline

solution.
Salt solution that runs out can cause

corrosion in the wash cabinet and to
the wash items.

Each time you remove the salt reser­voir cap, you must run the
QuickIntenseWash program with
the Express program option se­lected without wash items in the
dishwasher. This will dissolve and re­move any traces of salt from the
wash cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the refill indicator may still appear in the
display if the salt concentration has not
yet reached the correct level. In this
case, still confirm the message with OK.

The salt refill indicator will be turned off
if you have programmed the dishwasher
for a water hardness below 5 gpg
(5°dH – German scale).

28

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that
water does not cling and leave marks
on dishes during the drying phase, and
helps dishes dry faster after they have
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the container
and the amount set is dispensed auto­matically.

 Liquid dish soap or detergent

can cause damage.
Liquid dish soap and detergent can

damage the rinse aid reservoir.
Only fill it with rinse aid formulated

for domestic dishwashers.

 Risk of acid damage.

The dishwasher can be damaged by
high concentrations of acid.

Under no circumstances should you
use citric acid with a higher acid
content.

If you only ever wish to use combina­tion detergent products in your dish­washer, you do not need to add rinse
aid.
However, for optimum rinsing and
drying results, use dishwasher deter­gent and add reactivation salt and
rinse aid separately.

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

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

29

Before using for the first time

Adding rinse aid

 Press the yellow button on the lid

of the rinse aid reservoir.

The lid will spring open.

 Close the lid firmly until you hear it

click into place. Otherwise, water can
enter the rinse aid reservoir during a
program.

 Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This

prevents excess foam developing
during the next program.

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for best wash results (see “Rinse aid”
under “Settings”).

Filling the rinse-aid reservoir

When Add rinse aid appears in the
display, the reservoir contains sufficient
rinse aid for 2–3 programs only.

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

The rinse-aid refill indicator will go out.

 Fill with rinse aid until the filling level

indicator (arrow) changes to a dark
color while the door is horizontally
open.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approxi­mately 110ml.

Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally eco­nomical in its use of water and electric­ity.
You can make the most of your ma­chine by following these tips:

- Washing in a dishwasher generally
uses less water and energy than
washing by hand.

- There is no need to pre-rinse items
under running water, and this unnec­essarily increases water and energy
consumption.

- Make full use of the basket capacity
without overloading the dishwasher.
This results in the most economical
dishwashing in terms of energy and
water consumption.

- Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed (see “Program
overview”).

- 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 Normal program for en­ergy-saving dishwashing. This pro­gram 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 Energy Saver program
(see “Water intake” under “Installa­tion”). The wash water will not be
heated up during this program.

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

46

Loading the dishwasher

General information

Remove coarse food residues from
dishes.

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, but the following notes should
be observed:

- Do not place dishes and utensils in­side other items where they will cover
one another.

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

- The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which 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 such as carrots, toma­toes, or ketchup may contain natural
dyes. These dyes can discolor plastic
items in the dishwasher if large quanti­ties of these foods are in contact with
the dishes inside the machine. The
stability of plastic items is not affected
by this discoloration.
Washing silverware can also cause
plastic items to discolor.

- Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.

- Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc., must be inverted in the
baskets.

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

- Concave items such as mugs or
bowls should be placed at an angle
so that the water can run off.

Loading the dishwasher

Wash items not suitable for dish­washers:

- Wooden cutlery and dishes or items
with wooden parts. These may dis­color 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 aluminum
items. These may discolor or become
dull.

- Colors 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 discolor.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon­naise, mustard, fish, and marinades.

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

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

 Damage due to caustic alkaline

detergents.
Aluminum parts (e.g., the grease fil-

ters of ventilation 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).

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

Tip: When purchasing new dishes and
cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher­proof 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 program with very
low temperatures is selected (see
“Program 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.

Detergents

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
wash items.

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 colored 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 detergent:

- Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the amount of wash items and the
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 (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 (de­pending on model).

59

Detergents

 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 or ingest 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 machine. Keep chil­dren away from the dishwasher when
the door is open. Do not fill the de­tergent dispenser until just before
starting the program and activate the
door safety lock (depending on
model).

Detergent dispensing

There are 2 ways of dispensing the de­tergent.

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

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 program (see
“Manual detergent dispensing” under
“Detergent”).

60

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rinse cycles, de­pending on the chosen program.

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

 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

 Turn the dishwasher on using the

sensor button.

 Before you first use AutoDos, remove

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

 Insert a PowerDisk (see “Inserting a

PowerDisk” under “Automatic dis­pensing/AutoDos”).

The AutoDos function will be acti­vated automatically.
The message AutoDos activated will ap­pear on the display.

This setting applies to all programs and
you can change it at any time using the
AutoDossensor button.

If no program 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 turned on. No detergent will
be dispensed.

61

Detergents

Inserting a PowerDisk

Turn on the dishwasher before you re­place the PowerDisk so that the dish­washer recognizes 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
the AutoDos” under “Cleaning and
care”).

 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.

62

 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 program.

Detergents

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 the Auto­Dos” under “Cleaning and care”).

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.

Programs cannot start when the Auto­Dos lid is open.

63

Detergents

Manual detergent dispensing

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

Detergent dispensing

The detergent compartment holds a
maximum of 31/2" tablespoons.

There are marks in the detergent com­partment to aid with dispensing: 11/4,
2 tablespoons (20, 30ml). 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 11/4 to 2 table­spoons (20 to 30ml) of detergent to
the detergent compartment, depend­ing on the level of soiling of the dish­ware.

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
program.

If you use less than the recommended
amount of detergent, the dishware may
not get properly clean.

Some tabs may not dissolve completely
when the program QuickIntenseWash is
used.

64

 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 program.

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.

Detergents

 You can also apply a small amount of

detergent to the inner panel of the
door in programs that have a pre­rinse stage (see “Program overview”).

65

(see “Options”).

66

If any program options are selected, the
appropriate sensor buttons will also
light up.

If you want to control the dishwasher
remotely using the Miele app, you will
first need to activate the Remote start
option (see “Activate Remote start” un­der “Options”).

 Close the door within 4seconds.

Operation

Display of program duration

The estimated duration of the selected
program appears on the display before
the program begins. If the door is
opened during the program, the time
left until the end of the program is dis­played.

Each program phase is indicated by a
symbol:

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

The displayed duration may vary for the
same program. 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.

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

Starting a program

 Start the program by closing the door

within 4seconds of the last press of a
button.
If necessary, confirm the previously
displayed message with OK.

The in-operation indicator comes on to
show that a program has been started.

If you do not close the door within
4seconds, the message Continue with

OK will appear in the display.

The program cannot be started until
you confirm the message by press­ing the OK button and close the door
within 4seconds.

During a program sequence, you can
use OK to display the name of the
program that is currently running when
the door is open.

 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.

The program durations shown under
“Program overview” refer to standard
test loads and temperatures.

Each time a program is run, the control
module calculates the program duration
required depending on the temperature
of the water taken into the dishwasher
and the amount of dishes.

67

Operation

End of program

At the end of a program, the in-opera­tion indicator light will be flashing slowly
with the door shut. The audible signal
may also be sounding.

The in-operation indicator light will go
out 10minutes after the end of the pro­gram if the door is closed.

The program has ended when the dis­play shows the messageReady.

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

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

 Risk of damage due to steam.

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

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

timer.

 Risk of damage from leaking wa-

ter.
Leaking water can cause damage.
If the dishwasher is not going to be

used for a longer period of time, e.g.,
during vacations, the water supply
faucet 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 program has
ended.

 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.

69

Operation

Interrupting a program

A program will be interrupted as soon

Program options

Selecting program options

You can use program options to adjust
the programs.

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

 Open the door.
 Turn the dishwasher on using the

sensor button.

The sensor button for the selected pro­gram will light up.

 Select a different program as re-

quired.

 Touch the sensor button for the pro-

gram option you want.

The appropriate sensor button will light
up when the program options are avail­able for the selected program.

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

 In this instance, confirm the message

with OK.

 Start the program by closing the

door.

The selected program option will remain
active for that particular program until
the setting is changed.

IntenseZone

The IntenseZone program 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option reduces the pro­gram cycle time.

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

The time by which the program cycle
time is shortened varies according to
the selected program.

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

When used in combination with the
QuickIntenseWash program, the
Express 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.

80

Cleaning and care

Check the condition of your dish­washer regularly (approx. every 4–
6months). This helps to avoid faults
and problems.

 Damage due to unsuitable clean-

ing agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to

scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or discolor
all 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 programs increases the risk of
contamination and odors inside the
wash cabinet. Run the Pots & Pans pro­gram once per month to clean the wash
cabinet and prevent odors from devel­oping.

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

Clean Machine program to clean the

dishwasher (see “Additional pro­grams” under “Program overview”)
with dishwasher cleaner (see “Clean
Machine” under “Optional acces­sories”). Follow the dosage recom­mended by the manufacturer on the
packaging.

Miele cleaning and care products are
available to order from Miele Customer
Service or from Miele’s online store.

 Clean the filters in the wash cabinet

regularly.

81

Cleaning and care

Hygiene cycle

The frequent use of low-temperature
wash programs increases the risk of
contamination and odors inside the
wash cabinet. If you repeatedly use
low-temperature programs, you should
regularly run a high-temperature pro­gram. This is to prevent contamination
and odors.

You can activate or deactivate a Hy­giene info message (see “Settings – Hy­giene cycle”).
If you deactivate this message, run the
Intensiveprogram once per month to
clean the wash cabinet and prevent
odors from developing.

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, mold 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.

82

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the control panel

 The control panel should only be

wiped with a damp cloth.

Cleaning the reflector panel

The reflector panel for the in-operation
indicator light is situated on the cover
sheeting underneath the countertop.

 The reflector panel should only be

cleaned with a damp cloth if neces­sary.

Cleaning the front of the ma­chine

 Damage due to soiling.

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

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 liquid dish soap. After
cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using
a soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfiber cloth with­out detergent can also be used.

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

- cleaning agents containing soda, am­monia, acids, or chloride

- cleaning agents containing lime scale
remover

- abrasive cleaning agents, such as
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or
pumice stones

- cleaning agents containing solvents

- stainless-steel cleaning agents

- dishwasher cleaner

- oven cleaner

- glass cleaner

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

- eraser sponges

- sharp metal scrapers

- steel wool

- steam cleaners

83

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the AutoDos assem­bly

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 upward by

the yellow tabs and remove it. When

84

 Use the tab (see the arrow)  to re-

lease the fill channel and pull it out

.

Cleaning and care

 Clean the fill channel using water and

a soft brush if necessary.

It is very important that no moisture
is able to access the inside of 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 “Inserting a Pow­erDisk” under “Detergent”).

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
the spray arms” under “Cleaning and
care”).

 Put the holder back into place so that

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

85

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

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

Never run a wash program 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.

Do not run a wash program 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.

cure the filter combination. Without
filters, coarse soiling can enter the
circulation system and cause a
blockage.

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

88

Cleaning and care

Checking the filters in the wash cabinet

The filter combination in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse soil 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 program 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 time it takes before the fil­ters need cleaning will vary depending
on use.

Cleaning the filters

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

“Cleaning the spray arms” under
“Cleaning and care”).

 Before removing the filter combina-

tion, remove any coarse soiling to
