of overheating and fire risk if the dish washer were to be pushed up against a plug.

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with

The electrical socket must be eas ily accessible after the dishwasher

There must be no electrical sock ets behind the dishwasher. Danger

Correct usage

This dishwasher is intended

exclusively for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery in a domestic household. Using it for purposes other than those for which it was designed, as well as any alterations or conversions to the machine would be unauthorised and could cause harm. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.

Delivery

Before setting up the machine

check it for any externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged machine. A damaged machine is dangerous.

Please ensure that the packaging

material is offered for recycling.

In order to ensure stability, built-un

der and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.

The dishwasher must not be in-

stalled under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob 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.

Do not connect the dishwasher to

the mains supply until it has been installed.

Check that the voltage, frequency

and fuse rating shown on the data plate match the household mains sup ply.

Warning and Safety instructions

The electrical safety of this appli

ance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the ap pliance and an effective earthing sys tem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested and where there is any doubt, the electrical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the conse quences of an inadequate earthing sys tem (e.g. electric shock).

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

A damaged machine is dangerous.

Switch off at the mains and call your Miele supplier or the Miele Service Department.

The plastic housing of the water

connection contains an electrical component. The housing must therefore not be dipped in water.

Daily use

Do not use solvents in the dish washer. Danger of explosion.

Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water. This wa

ter is not drinking water.

Avoid inhalation of powder deter gents. Do not ingest dishwasher

detergent! Dishwasher detergents con

tain irritant or corrosive ingredients.

They can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediate ly if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

Do not sit or lean on the opened

door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged and you could get injured.

In an appliance with a cutlery bas-

ket (depending on model) cutlery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury place cutlery with sharp points with the handles upwards.

There are live wires in the water in let hose. Never cut the water inlet

hose, even if it is too long.

For safety reasons do not operate this appliance on an extension ca

ble. (Danger of overheating).

Only use detergents formulated for

domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.

Only use rinse aid formulated for

domestic dishwashers.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Plastic items which cannot withstand

being washed in hot water, such as disposable plastic containers, or plastic cutlery and crockery should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high tem peratures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.

Take care on dishwashers with a visi ble heater element

(depending on model)

Do not touch the heating element

during or directly after the end of a programme. It will be hot. Danger of burning!

Some plastic items could melt or

catch fire if they were to come into contact with the heating element. Therefore always place plastic items or any other items which may not be completely heat resistant in the upper basket and ensure they cannot drop down onto the heater element. Any items which are too small to be lodged securely in the upper basket should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Safety with children

Keep children away from deter

gents. Dishwasher detergents con tain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit

breathing. Consult a doctor immediate ly if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent.

To avoid the danger of children

coming into contact with the dish washer detergent: only add detergent just before starting the programme and close the door, activating the child safety lock (depending on model). Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.

To ensure children do not come

into contact with detergent on models with the "Delay start" function make sure the dispenser is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thor oughly dispersed. If the door is open at the end of a programme, children may come into contact with this residue.

This appliance is not a toy! To

avoid the risk of injury, do not allow children to play on or near it, or to play with the controls. There is a danger that children could shut themselves in the dishwasher. Supervise its use by the el derly or infirm.

Warning and Safety instructions

To avoid machine and material damage

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir

with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.

Inadvertently filling the salt reser

voir with powder or liquid dish washer detergent always leads to seri ous damage to the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the cor rect packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!

Do not use commercial or industrial

detergents as these may damage material and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.

The Miele Waterproof System offers

protection from water damage, provided the following conditions are met:

– The dishwasher is correctly installed

and plumbed in.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appli ance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Repairs and maintenance

Repairs may only be carried out by

suitably qualified and competent

engineers in accordance with local and national safety requirements. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply for main-

tenance work (switch off at wall socket and remove the plug, or remove the screw out fuse in countries where this is applicable).

–

The dishwasher is properly main tained and parts are replaced where it can be seen that this is necessary.

–

The stopcock has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).

Disposal of your old appliance

When disposing of an old dish washer first make it unusable. Dis

connect, cut off the cable and the plug from the cable. Make the door lock in operative by unscrewing 2 cross-slotted screws, so that children cannot acci dentally shut themselves in. Make ap propriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.

The manufacturer cannot be held lia ble for damage caused by non-com pliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

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 materi als away, please ensure that they are recycled.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials which can be recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. See the appropriate sec tion in the Warning and Safety instruc tions.

Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally eco nomical in its use of water and electric ity. You can make the most of your ap pliance by following these tips:

If your household water system is

suitable, this dishwasher can be con nected to a hot water supply, for fur ther economies. Although all stages of the wash then take place with hot water, savings are made in:

- the use of primary energy,

- costs,

- programme running times. If, however, your water is heated by electricity we would still recommend connection to cold water.

^ For most economical dishwashing

make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher.

^ Choose the programme to suit the

type of crockery being washed and the degree of soiling.

The "Top Solo" function should only be selected for washing very small loads of crockery (see "Additional functions").

Select the Economy programme for energy-saving dishwashing.

Use the correct amounts of deter gent.

Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if baskets are only half full.

Before using the appliance for the first time you require:

approx. 2 litres of water,

–

approx. 2 kg dishwasher reactivation

–

salt, domestic dishwasher detergent,

–

rinse aid formulated for domestic

–

dishwashers.

The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener sensor. This automatically sets the water softener unit for the local water hardness level.

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 previously used.

Before using for the first time

To open the door

^ Pull on the handle. If the door is opened during operation

all functions are automatically interrupted.

Instructions for opening the door before the machine door front has been fitted are given in the Installation instruction booklet.

To close the door

Push the baskets right in.

Lift the door upwards, and push until

it clicks into position.

Filling the salt reservoir

In order to achieve good cleaning re sults, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crock ery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4° d – German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the built-in soft ener unit. The softener unit needs reactivation salt.

Your local water authority will be able

to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need to add dishwasher salt.

Before using for the first time

Only use special coarse grained

Remove the lower basket and un

screw the salt reservoir cap. Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres

of water (first use).

Important: Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time 2 litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the reservoir.

voir with powder or liquid dish washer detergent always leads to serious damage to the water soft ener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!

, you must fill it with approx.

Inadvertently filling the salt reser

Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt until the reservoir is full. The salt res ervoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt de pending on the brand used.

Before using for the first time

As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced water will overflow.

Clean any excess salt from around

the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.

Run the "Pre-wash" programme im

mediately to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.

Salt indicator

The salt indicator light in the control panel comes on to notify you that the reservoir is empty.

Note

If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 0.7 mmol (4 °d) you do not need to add salt to the res ervoir. The salt indicator light, however, will still come on, but should be ig nored.

(See "After sales service" for definition of "PC").

The reservoir should then be refilled with dishwasher salt for reactivation. (See: Filling the salt reservoir).

After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reacti vated the next time the dishwasher is run. The salt indicator light may still be illuminated during this process. It will go out once the salt concentration has reached the correct level.

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage res ervoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid

reservoir with powder or liquid deter gent always causes serious damage to the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.

Alternatively, it is possible to use – Household vinegar with a max. 5%

acid content or – Liquid citric acid up to 50% acid

content.

Adding rinse aid

^ Press the button in the direction of

the arrow until the flap springs open.

The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.

Do not use vinegar with a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar essence 25% acid). This must not be used as its use would damage the dish washer.

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid indicator

Add rinse aid only until it is visible on

the surface of the filter in the opening.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 130 ml.

^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks

into place. Otherwise water would enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme.

Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring dur ing the next programme.

The Rinse aid indicator light on the con trol panel comes on when the rinse aid reservoir needs to be replenished.

When the light comes on the reservoir still contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes.

^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

Setting the rinse aid dosage

The dosage selector has settings from 1-6. It is set to "3" (3 ml) at the factory. Approx. 3 ml of rinse aid are then used per programme. This is a recommended setting.

If spots appear on crockery and glassware:

Before using for the first time

^ Use a higher setting. If clouding or smearing appears on

crockery and glassware:

Use a lower setting.

Loading the dishwasher

Note

Remove coarse food residues from

crockery.

There is no need to rinse items under running water.

Do not wash items soiled with

ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and is distributed in the wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating grease and paint cause damage to the dishwasher.

Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed:

^ Do not place crockery and cutlery in-

side other pieces where they may be concealed.

^ Load the crockery so that water can

access all surfaces. This ensures that it is properly cleaned.

Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

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

Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g. cham pagne glasses, should be placed in the centre of the basket to ensure better water coverage.

Deep based items should be placed

at an angle so that water can run off them freely.

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.

Make sure that small items do not fall

through the holders in the baskets. Small items, e.g. lids, should there fore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket.

Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolour if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the appliance on the crockery. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration.

When the dishwasher is being loaded food and drink residue may drip onto the sides of the dish washer door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms.

Food residue should therefore be

wiped away before the dishwasher door is closed.

Loading the dishwasher

Upper basket

For small, lightweight, delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow saucepans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.

Note for "Top Solo"

If a wash programme has been se lected with the additional function "Top Solo", all crockery must be loaded in the upper basket and cutlery tray.

If your dishwasher has a cutlery basket then cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with plenty of space be tween items.

As the middle spray arms also directs water downwards, it is possible to wash lightly soiled plates (with a large diame ter) and serving platters in the lower basket, however plenty of space must be left in between items. Do not wash dishes, bowls or other hollow containers when using this function.

Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.

Loading the dishwasher

Flap up rack

To make room for tall items raise the rack upwards.

Positioning rail (depending on model)

The positioning rail can be flipped over to the middle of the basket for easy sorting and removing of crockery.
