IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be per-
formed by a Miele-authorized service technician. Work by unquali­fied persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of dam-
age. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dish­washer. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective grounding system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the elec­trical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electri­cian. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate 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 electrical supply.
If the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using a 3-
pin plug with a grounding contact (it must not be hard-wired), the electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is in­stalled so that it can be disconnected from the electrical supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. There
is a danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher is pushed up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a cooktop. The high
radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktop could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason, it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as heaters, etc.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage, and fre­quency) matches the electrical supply before connecting the dish­washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical 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 model) is active. To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
– The door springs must be adjusted equally 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.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply by a multi-
socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the re­quired safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance must not be installed and operated in a non-sta-
tionary location (e.g., on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic module 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.
The water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must
be between 7.25 - 145 psi.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, turn off the electrical supply and contact Miele.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele-authorized service technician.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the electrical supply (turn it off and with­draw the plug from the socket).
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele-au­thorized service technician only.
This dishwasher is supplied with a special bulb to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special bulb must only be used for the intended purpose. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement bulbs may only be fitted by a Miele-authorized techni­cian or the Miele Technical Service.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the installation plan.
Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protec-
tive gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.
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 counter which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
The door springs must be adjusted equally 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 may only be used with correctly adjusted door springs.
12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!Do not inhale or ingest powder detergent. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth, and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or in­haled.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip
over it and be injured by it.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dish-
washer to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.
Dishes can be very hot at the end of a program. Allow them to
cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-
washers. Do not use dishwashing liquid.
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may
cause 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 reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cut-
lery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place knives and forks with the handles upwards.
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 "FlexiTimer/Delay Start" option (depending on
model), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dis­penser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.
Please observe the information given in "Technical data" regarding
the capacity of the dishwasher.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele parts. If spare parts or acces-
sories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot acciden-
tally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.

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

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials. They also contain certain substances, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these mate­rials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. There­fore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with regular household waste and follow local regulations on proper disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or Miele in order to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. Miele assumes no responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance being disposed. Please en­sure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal. Ob­serve safety requirements for appli­ances that may tip over or pose an en­trapment hazard.
19
Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is economical in the consumption of water and energy. For best results follow these tips:
– For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher.
– Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.
– Select the Normal program (depend-
ing on model) for energy-saving dish­washing. This program is the most ef­ficient in terms of its combined en­ergy and water consumption at clean­ing normally soiled dishes.
– If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply, select the Energy
Saver program for washing a lightly to
moderately soiled load. Because the water is not heated in this program, dishes may still be slightly damper at the end of this program than it would be with other programs.
– Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent dosage.
– When using powder or liquid deter-
gent, you can use 1/3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.
20

Before using for the first time

Opening the door

At the end of programs with a drying phase (see "Program overview"), the door will open automatically a little in order to help the drying process. This function can be deactivated if pre­ferred (see "Settings menu - Au­toOpen").
Pull the handle to open the door.Open the door fully so that the door
catch rail retracts again.

Closing the door

Push the baskets in.Then lift the door upwards and push
until it clicks into position.
Danger of crushing injuries!

Keeping the arrow buttons pressed will increase or decrease the time automatically.
22
Before using for the first time

Water hardness

The display changes to the screen for setting the water hardness.
– The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed to the correct water hard­ness for your area.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
– Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 10 - 16 gr/gal (10 - 15 °d), always program the dishwasher to the higher value (16 gr/gal or 15 °d in this example).
It is useful to know your water hardness so that you can provide the service technician with this information in the event of any service calls.
Enter the water hardness below:
____________ gr/gal (°d)
The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 1 gr/gal (1 °d).
The message Set-up successfully com-
pleted will then appear in the display.
After confirming this with OK, the prompts Refill salt and Refill rinse aid may appear.
Add salt and rinse aid if necessary
(see "Before using for the first time, Dishwasher salt" and "Rinse aid").
Confirm the messages with OK.
The program selected will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate indi­cator light will come on. Then, the display will show the esti­mated program duration for the pro­gram selected.
These basic settings will be saved after the dishwasher has been through one complete program.
Use the  arrow buttons to select
the hardness of your water supply and confirm with OK.
See "Settings menu, Water hardness" for more information.
23
Before using for the first time

Before using the appliance for the first time, you require:

– Approx. 2 qt (2 l) of water
– Approx. 2 kg (4 lbs) of dishwasher
salt
– Domestic dishwasher detergent
– Rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers
Every dishwasher is tested at the fac­tory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an in­dication that it has been used previ­ously.

Dishwasher salt

In order to achieve good cleaning re­sults, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in a build-up of calcium deposits on dishes and in the dishwasher. Water supplies with a hardness level higher than 4 gr/gal (4 °d) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated softener assembly. The softener assembly in the dishwasher is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 73 gr/gal (70 °d).
If the water in your area is very soft and consistently lower than 5gr/gal (5 °d - German scale) you do not have to add dishwasher salt. The prompt to add salt will be switched off automatically if the softener assembly has been programmed for this to hap­pen.
Dishwasher detergent will dam-
age the softener assembly. Do not fill the salt container with
dishwasher detergent (even liquid detergent).
Use only special, coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen salt.
Other types of salt may contain in­soluble components which can dam­age the softener assembly.
The softener assembly requires dish­washer salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 22 gr/gal or 21 °d), dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see "Operation - Deter­gent").
24

Filling the salt reservoir

Important! Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2qt (2 l) of water to enable the salt to dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used for the first time, there is always suf­ficient water in the reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Water will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed.
It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir.
Before using for the first time
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 4 lbs (2 kg) of salt depending on the brand used.
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 qt (2 l)
of water (first use only).
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.
Immediately after filling the salt reser-
voir, run the QuickIntenseWash pro­gram with the Short programming op­tion selected and without any dishes in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
25
Before using for the first time

Salt refill indicator

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt for reactivation when Refill salt appears in the display. If it appears during a program, wait until the end of the program.
Confirm with OK.
The salt refill indicator will go out.
Risk of corrosion!
Immediately after filling the salt reservoir, run the QuickIntenseWash program with the Short programming option selected and without any dishware in the dishwasher to 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. If this is the case, confirm again with OK.
If you only ever use Tab products in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill indicators for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see "Settings menu, Switching off the refill indicators").
If you switch to using detergent that does not contain salt or rinse aid, it is important to remember to add dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to switch the indicators back on.
The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 5 gr/gal (5°d).
26
Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is needed to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware. The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir and the set amount will be automatically dosed.
Filling the rinse aid reservoir with
detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.
When using "Tab" detergents rinse aid is not needed.

Adding rinse aid

Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.
27
Before using for the first time
Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
3.7 oz. (110 ml).
Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a pro­gram.

Rinse aid indicator

When the Refill rinse aid message ap­pears in the display, the reservoir con­tains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 pro­grams only.
Add rinse aid.Confirm with OK.
The rinse aid refill indicator will go out.
If you only ever use Tab products in your dishwasher, you can turn off both refill indicators for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see "Settings menu - Turn­ing off the refill indicators").
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring dur­ing the next program.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results (see "Settings menu ­Rinse aid").
28

Loading the dishwasher

Tips

Remove coarse food residues from the dishes.
There is no need to rinse items under running water!
Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, grease, or paint in the dishwasher. These will damage the dishwasher.
Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed:
– Do not place dishes or cutlery inside
other pieces. They will cover each other.
– Load the dishes so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that they get properly cleaned.
– Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
– Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the bas­kets. Small items, e.g., lids, should there­fore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model).
Some foods may contain natural dyes, e.g., carrots, tomatoes or tomato sauce. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolor if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the dishwasher on the dishes. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discoloration. Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish­washer may also cause plastic items to discolor.
– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.
– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.,
champagne glasses, should be placed in the center of the basket to ensure better water coverage.
– Concave items such as mugs or
bowls should be placed at an angle so that the water can run off.
– The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. If in doubt, test for free movement by manually rotat­ing the spray arms.
29
Loading the dishwasher
Items not recommended for dish­washing
– Wooden cutlery, cutting boards and
dishes or items with wooden parts
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,
and decorative glassware
– Plastic items which are not heat-re-
sistant: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminum
items may discolor or become matt.
– Colors painted over a glaze may fade
after a number of washes.
– Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal: clouding may occur over time.
Please note:
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. It may need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.

Glass care

– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. If delicate glass­ware is washed in the dishwasher, ensure that only very low tempera­tures are used (see program chart), or a special glass-care program is used (depending on model). This will re­duce the risk of clouding.
– Purchase glassware which is dish-
washer-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware).
– Use detergents with glass protective
additives.
Silver which has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolor. These include egg yolk, onions, mayon­naise, mustard, fish, and marinades.
Aluminum components (e.g.,
range hood grease filters) must not be cleaned with a commercial or in­dustrial cleaning agent.
These may damage the material.
Tip: When purchasing new dishes and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher­safe.
