cleaned.

Avoid inhalation of powder cleaning

~

agents. They can cause burning in the
mouth and throat if swallowed, and can
inhibit breathing.

Only use low-foaming cleaning

~

agents. Incorrect cleaning agents, as
well as some types of soiling can cause
a build-up of foam in the machine.
Foam can have an adverse effect on
the cleaning process.

Please be aware that changes in

~

formulation, storage conditions etc,
which may not be publicised by the
chemical producer, can have a
negative effect on the cleaning result.

When using cleaning agents and

~

specialised products, it is essential that
the manufacturer's instructions are
followed. Only use such chemicals for
the purpose and in the situation
specifed, to the exclusion of other
chemicals, to avoid such dangers as
chemical reactions and material
damage.

The machine is designed for

~

operation with water and additive
cleaning agents only. Organic solvents
must not be used in this machine, as
there is the danger under certain
circumstances of explosion. (Although
this is not the case with all organic
solvents, other problems could arise
with their use, for example damage to
rubber and synthetic materials).

11

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not allow any remains of acids or

~

solvents, and in particular hydrochloric
acid or chloride solutions, to get into
the wash cabinet. Similarly avoid any
materials with a corrosive effect.
The presence in compounds of any
solvents should be minimal (especially
those in hazard class A1).

Never clean the machine or near

~

vicinity with a water hose or pressure
washer.

To avoid any corrosion damage,

~

ensure that solutions or steam
containing hydrochloric acid do not
come into contact with the steel outer
casing of the machine.

After any plumbing work the water

~

pipework to the machine will need to be
vented.
If this is not done the softener system
could suffer damage.

While the machine is under

~

guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee will be
invalidated.

Be careful when sorting items with

~

sharp pointed ends and positioning
them in the machine that you do not
hurt yourself or create a danger for
others. Sharp knives, forks etc. should
be placed in baskets with the pointed
ends facing downwards.

When using this machine in the

~

higher temperature ranges be
especially careful not to scald or burn
yourself when opening the door.
Baskets and inserts must be allowed to
cool down before they are unloaded.
Any water remaining in containers
could still be very hot. Empty them into
the wash cabinet before taking them
out.

Do not touch the heating elements

~

or the heated surfaces on the wash
cabinet floor during or directly after the
end of a programme. You could burn
yourself. They remain hot for some time
after the end of the programme.

Empty any containers or utensils

~

before arranging them in the machine.

Do not sit or lean on the opened

~

door. This could cause the machine to
tip up and be damaged or cause an
injury.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Installation

This machine may only be used in

~

mobile installations such as ships,
caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.

Do not install the machine in an area

~

where there is any danger of explosion
or of freezing conditions.

Safety with children

This machine is not a toy! Keep

~

children away from it at all times and
supervise them whilst you are using it.
They will not understand the potential
dangers posed by it. For instance whilst
playing they could inadvertently shut
themselves inside it.

Older children should only be

~

allowed to use it unsupervised if its
operation has been clearly explained to
them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

~

and accessories with this machine.
They must be suitable for the purpose
they are being used for. Consult Miele
for advice.
If spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

Disposing of an old
dishwasher

For environmental and safety

~

reasons ensure the machine is
completely drained of any residual
water and cleaning agent. (Observe
safety regulations and wear safety
goggles and gloves).
Make the door lock inoperable, so that
children cannot accidentally shut
themselves in. Then make appropriate
arrangements for the safe disposal of
the machine.
For tank system machines ensure that
any water is emptied out of the tank.

The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

14

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.

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!

Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines often contain materials
which, if handled or disposed of
incorrectly, could be potentially
hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance or machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person.

15

Before using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first
time, the following steps must be
carrried out.
Each step is described in more
detail in the appropriate section
further on in the booklet.

Prepare the water softener unit
(Optional).

Only use cleaning agents formulated
for use in this type of machine.

Do not use cleaning agents designed
for domestic dishwashers.

Add cleaning agent

Follow the cleaning agent
manufacturer's recommendations on
dosage.

The water softener unit must be set for
the water hardness level in your area.

The salt reservoir also has to be filled,
first with water and then with
reactivation salt.

Inadvertently filling the salt

,

reservoir with cleaning agent always
leads to serious damage to the
water softener. Make sure you have
picked up the correct packet of
reactivation salt before filling the salt
reservoir!

Load the machine carefully

Arrange the load so that water will
come into contact with all surfaces.
Concealed surfaces will not be
cleaned.
The spray arms must not be blocked by
any items.

The amount required will depend on the
type of cleaning agent used and the
programme selected.

Read the notes on dosage given in
the programme chart.

Cleaning results may vary from brand
to brand. If you are not satisfied with
the results from one brand, try another
quality brand before contacting Miele
for advice.

The filter combination in the floor of
the wash cabinet and also the spray
arms must be kept clean.
It is therefore absolutely essential to
check and clean them regularly.

16

Opening and closing the door

To open the door

Grasp the handle and open the door.

^

The door should only be opened during
operation for emergencies, e.g. if
articles are knocking together or if a
programme fault is indicated in the
display (see "Cancelling a
programme").

Do not touch the inside of the

,

cabinet or the heated surfaces
during or directly after the end of a
programme. You could burn
yourself. They remain hot for some
time after the end of the programme.

To close the door

Lift the door upwards and push until

^

it clicks shut.

17

Water softener unit (optional)

Only applies to machines with a
built-in water softener.

Important

The built-in water softener has settings
from 0.2 - 6.5 mmol/l (1 °d - 35 °d ).

To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs to operate with soft
water. Hard water results in a build-up
of calcium deposits on crockery and in
the dishwasher.

To ensure a steady supply of soft water:

1. the water softener unit must always

be programmed correctly, and

2. the salt reservoir must be filled.

If the water hardness level is below

0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale), the
reservoir does not need to be filled
with reactivation salt.

The water softener unit is set at the
factory for a water hardness level of

3.4 mmol/l (19 °d).

If the water supply is harder or softer
than this (including below 0.7 mmol/l
or 4 °d), the factory setting will need
to be changed following the
instructions in "Setting the water
softener". See chart on the next
page for settings.

Where the water hardness level is
above 5.4 mmol/l (30 °d) an external
water softener unit, e.g. the G 7897
Aqua-soft system will need to be fitted.

In the case of a fault, it will help the
service technician if you know the
hardness of your local water supply.

Enter your water hardness level here:

mmol/l or °d

Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness in your area.

Where the water hardness level
fluctuates, e.g. 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l
(8 - 17°d), set the water softener to the
highest setting (3.1 mmol/l (17 °d) in
this example).

Filling the salt reservoir

Only use special coarse grained
reactivation salt with granules of
approx. 1-4 mm. 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. If
in doubt consult the Miele Professional

Adding rinsing agent

Rinsing agent is necessary to ensure
water does not cling and leave marks
on items during the drying phase and
to help items dry faster after they have
been washed.
Rinsing agent is poured into the
storage reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically in the final
rinse.

Loading the machine

Preparing the load

Remove coarse residues and empty all
containers before loading into the
machine.

Do not use metal scourers or

,

wire wool to remove residues.
Danger of corrosion. Only use a
non-abrasive stainless steel spiral
sponge, soft nylon brush, plastic
sponge or similar.

Inadequate pre-cleaning can block the
filters and reduce the washing
efficiency of the machine.

Important:

– Load items so that water will come

into contact with all surfaces. This
ensures that they will be properly
cleaned.

– Do not place items to be cleaned

inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.

–

Hollow vessels such as cups,
glasses, pots etc. should be inverted
and placed in the correct inserts.
The water must be able to access
them unhindered.

Tall, narrow, hollow items should be

–

placed in the centre of the baskets to
ensure better water coverage.

The spray arms must not be blocked

–

by items which are too tall or which
hang down in their path. If in doubt,
test for free movement by manually
rotating the spray arms.

Cutlery can be placed in any

,

order in the cutlery holders with the
handles upwards.
Cutlery placed handle down will
come out drier, however, be careful
when sorting items with sharp
pointed ends and positioning them
in the machine that you do not hurt
yourself or create a danger for
others. Sharp knives, forks etc.
should always be placed in the
cutlery holders with the pointed
ends facing downwards.

Select baskets and inserts which are
appropriate for the application.

–

Deep-sided items should be placed
at an angle to make sure water runs
off them freely.

26

Items not suitable for
dishwashers:

Cutlery with wooden or horn handles.

–

Wooden or plastic cutting boards.

–

Heat sensitive plastic items (see

–

"Programmes with reduced final rinse
temperature").

duration (Programming level 6)

You can set the programme duration in
a range from 75 seconds to 480
seconds.

Lengthening the programme duration
cannot alter how the programmes relate
to each other with regard to time, i. e.,
the SHORT programme will still be the
shortest programme.
It is only possible to set a programme
duration which is shorter than or equal
to the value set for the STANDARD
programme.

If you wish to lengthen the programme
duration of every programme, then start
with the INTENSIVE programme.

6. Resetting the factory default
settings

You can reset all parameters back to
the factory default settings in
Programming level 7. To do this you
must first call up the factory default
setting (Step 1) and then confirm the
factory default settings (Step 2). Once
you have confirmed the factory default
settings, all settings which have been
altered will be reset to the factory
defaults and you will need to re-enter
any changes as and when required.

Step 1- Activating the factory setting:

You must first call up Programming
level 7 as follows:

^ Switch off the machine with the Z

button.

^ Press and hold A and 6 at the

same time and, whilst doing so,
switch the machine on with the On
button Y.
The current programme status P... will
show in the display.

^

Press the y button seven times. 7
will appear in the display
(Programming level 7).

Then call up the factory setting as
follows:

^

Press the z button repeatedly until

7.01 appears in the display.

^

Press A. The current setting will
appear in the display:

00 Factory default setting, or
PP programmed value.

Press A repeatedly until 00 (factory

^

default setting) appears in the
display.

The factory default settings have now
been called up.

If you select the 00 setting by
mistake, you can still call up your
own customised settings again by
selecting the PP setting.

Only do the following if you have
selected the 00 setting by mistake:

Press A to switch between the 00

^

and pp settings.

Step 2 - Confirming the setting:

^ Press 6. SP will appear in the

display.

^ Press 6 again. All values which had

been changed have now been reset
to the factory default settings.

^ Switch off the machine with the Z

button.

All values which it is possible to change
are now reset to the factory default
settings.

If you changed the water hardness
level setting for the water softener,
this will also have reverted to the
factory default setting (3.4 mmol/l
(19 °d)). It will need to be reset to
suit the water hardness level in your
area.

Selecting the PP setting now will not
reinstate your own customised settings.
The factory default settings are not
activated if the PP setting is selected.

Cleaning and care

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available

^

from the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department, which is suitable for
cleaning surfaces such as stainless
steel, glass, plastic and chrome
without the use of chemicals.

Cleaning the control panel

This should only be cleaned with a

^

damp cloth or a suitable cleaner for
use on plastic materials, or with a
disinfectant tested and recognised
as suitable for this use.

Do not use abrasive cleaners,

,

glass cleaners or all-purpose
cleaners.
Because of their chemical
composition they could cause
serious damage to plastic
components.

Cleaning the front of the
machine

Cleaning the spray arms

Waste particles can lodge in the spray
arm jets.
It is therefore important to inspect the
spray arms regularly (at least every six
months).

Use a sharp pointed object to push

^

particles into the spray arm jets, and
rinse well under running water.

Remove the spray arms as follows:

Unscrew the upper spray arm.

^

First remove the bottom basket and

^

then pull the lower spray arm off.

Particles in the lower spray arm are
easier to rinse out if the caps are
opened first of all.

^ Open the caps in the direction of the

arrow. After cleaning screw them in
again securely.

Important:

After replacing the spray arms, check
that they rotate freely.

^

Clean using a proprietary cleaning
agent designed for the type of front
the machine is fitted with.

,

Do not use cleaning agents
containing ammonia or thinners.
