Warnings and 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.

In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the section on installing the dishwasher as well as the safety instructions and warnings.

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.

Warnings and safety instructions

Correct application

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 4,000 m above sea level.

This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic dishware and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted.

This dishwasher is not intended for use by people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision and instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety. They may only use the dishwasher without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner. They must be able to recognize and understand the possible consequences of incorrect operation.

Warnings and safety instructions

Safety with children

Children under 8 years of age 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 dishwasher door opens. There is a danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the opening mechanism.

Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head, presenting 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.

Warnings and safety instructions

Technical safety

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs must only be carried out by a qualified technician.

Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.

The electrical safety of 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 electrician.

Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate or lack of grounding system (e.g., electric shock).

Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assured if it has been connected to the domestic electricity supply.

If the dishwasher is plugged into the domestic electricity supply using a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact (it must not be hardwired), the electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the domestic electricity supply at any time.

There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher because the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.

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

Warnings and safety instructions

Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate (fuse rating, frequency, and voltage) match the domestic 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 electrician.

Do not connect the dishwasher to the domestic electricity supply until it has been fully installed and any adjustments have been made to the door springs.

The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger while the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on the model) is active.

To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:

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

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

Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (risk of fire). Do not connect the dishwasher to the domestic 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 dishwasher, it must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.

Warnings and safety instructions

The water-connection pressure needs to be between 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 Service.

The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele authorized service technician.

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

During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher must be disconnected from the domestic electricity supply (turn it off and withdraw the plug from the socket).

If the power cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific cable of the same type (available from Miele Service). For safety reasons, this must only be done by Miele 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 the hose or power cord next to a heat source e.g., hot water pipes. Do not expose the hose or power cord to corrosive substances (e.g., chloride). Damage to the hose or power cord could cause electrical shock or water damage.

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

Warnings and 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 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 sheet 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). 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 Miele 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 wash cabinet. There is a danger of

explosion.

Warnings and 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.

Dishware may be very hot at the end of the program. Allow dishware to cool until it is comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.

Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use liquid dish soap.

Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause damage to the rinse aid reservoir.

Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or liquid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.

Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.

Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt or other pure evaporated salt. Other types of salt may contain insoluble components which can cause the water softener to malfunction.

Warnings and 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 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 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 power cables.

Warnings and safety instructions

Disposal of your old dishwasher

Remove the door of the dishwasher so that children cannot

become trapped inside.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packaging

material

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

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also the amount of waste.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. These could be hazardous to your health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with general waste.

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.

Initial commissioning

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 programs, the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying process.

This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “AutoOpen” under “Settings”).

This dishwasher has a motorized door opener which is activated by knocking on the door front (“Knock2open function”).

15 °dH), always program the dishwasher to the higher value (16 gr/ gal (15 °dH) in this example).

It is useful to know your water hardness so that you can provide the service technician with this information in the event of any service calls.

Enter the water hardness below:

____________ gr/gal (°dH)

The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level 1 gr/ gal (1 °dH).

Set the water hardness level in your area and confirm with OK.

See “Water hardness” under “Settings” for more information.

Initial commissioning

Activating AutoDos

The display changes to the settings screen for AutoDos (see “Automatic dispensing / AutoDos” under “Detergent”).

Even if you do not wish to use AutoDos, you must remove the transport locking device from the PowerDisk compartment before running the first program (see “Activating AutoDos” under “Detergent”).

You can activate AutoDos.

If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you can manually dispense the detergent via the detergent compartment (see “Manual detergent dispensing” under “Detergent”).

Select the setting you want and confirm with OK.

This setting applies to all programs and you can change it in a program’s Extra options menu.

Finally, prompts will appear in the display.

After confirming these prompts with

OK, the messages Refill salt and start

the “QuickIntenseWash” program with the

“Express” option without a load and

Refill rinse aid may appear.

Add salt and rinse aid if necessary (see “Reactivation salt” and “Rinse aid” under “Initial commissioning”).

Select OK to confirm the messages.

The selected program will be shown briefly in the display.

The display will then show the estimated program cycle time for the program selected.

Initial commissioning

Reactivation 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 dishware and in the dishwasher. Domestic water with a hardness level higher than 5 gr/gal (5 °dH) 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 gr/gal (70 °dH).

In order to be reactivated, the water softener requires reactivation salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 22 gr/gal, or < 21 °dH), 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 gr/gal (5 °dH), 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 water softener.

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

Damage caused by using unsuitable salts.

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

Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt or other pure evaporated salt.

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

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

Initial commissioning

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 l of water to enable the salt to dissolve.

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

Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Danger of corrosion due to saline solution.

Water or saline solution will run out of the salt 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. 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

2 kg of salt, depending on the type of salt used.

Clean off salt residues from around the salt reservoir opening. Next, screw the salt reservoir cap on again firmly.

Immediately after filling the salt reservoir and each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, run the

65°C QuickIntenseWash program with the Express program option selected without wash items in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.

Initial commissioning

Refilling the salt

Fill the salt reservoir with reactivation

salt when Refill salt and start the

“QuickIntenseWash” program with the

“Express” option without a load 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
