Safety instructions and warnings
Proper use
Repair of the commercial
~
dishwasher during the warranty period
should be performed only by a
customer service center authorized by
the manufacturer, otherwise any
damage will not be covered by the
warranty.
Always exercise care when handling
~
liquid cleaning agents or additives.
Some of these products contain
corrosive and irritating substances.
NEVER use organic solvents since
there is a risk of explosion.
ALWAYS observe the applicable safety
regulations. Use safety glasses
and gloves. Always follow the
manufacturer's safety
recommendations when using chemical
additives.
The water in the wash cabinet is
~
NOT safe to drink.
Avoid inhaling powdered cleaning
~
agents.
If detergents are swallowed, this can
result in chemical burns to the mouth
and throat or even suffocation.
Certain pre-treatments (for example,
~
that contain detergents), as well as,
certain contaminants and some
dishwashing liquids, can generate
foam. Foam can adversely affect the
cleaning performance.
The recommendation to use
~
chemical additives (such as cleaning
agents) does not mean that the washer
manufacturer accepts liability for how
these chemical additives may affect the
wash load.
Note that formulation changes, storage
conditions, etc., not disclosed by the
manufacturer, may alter the cleaning
results obtained.
When using cleaning agents and
~
special-purpose products, comply
strictly with the instructions of the
respective manufacturer. In order to
avoid possible chemical reactions
(such as explosive hydrogen gas
reactions), use cleaning agents only for
the applications intended by the
manufacturer.
The commercial dishwasher is
~
designed only for operation with water
and additive cleaning agents. Organic
solvents must NOT be used in the
appliance, as there is the danger of
explosion and/or damage.
(Note: Although many organic solvents
do not involve a danger of explosion,
they may still cause other problems,
such as the destruction of rubber and
plastics.)
For critical applications, where very
~
high processing-quality requirements
have to be met, it is strongly
recommended that all process-related
factors (cleaning agents, water quality,
etc.) be discussed in advance with
Miele's Application Technology.
6
Safety instructions and warnings
Ensure that no appreciable residues
~
of solvents or acids, and especially of
hydrochloric acid or chloride solutions,
are introduced into the wash cabinet
along with the wash load. This also
applies for corrosive ferrous material.
Solvents combined with contaminants
(especially from hazard class A1)
should be present in trace amounts
only.
To avoid corrosive damage, make
~
sure the stainless steel housing (if
present on your model) does not come
into contact with solutions/steam
containing hydrochloric acid.
After work has been performed on
~
the supply plumbing, the supply line to
the commercial dishwasher must be
vented.
Failure to do so can result in damage to
the water-intake components.
NEVER hose down the commercial
~
dishwasher or the immediate vicinity,
for instance with a water hose or
pressure washer.
When operating the commercial
~
dishwasher in the upper temperature
range, proceed with caution. Be aware
of the danger of scalding or burning
when opening the door. Allow baskets
and inserts to cool off. Empty any hot
water remaining in hollow items into the
wash cabinet.
When opening the door during or
~
after the end of the program, take care
not to touch the heating elements or
heated surfaces on the floor of the
wash cabinet. They remain hot for quite
a few minutes after the program has
ended and can cause burns.
Empty all hollow items before
~
loading them.
Do not stand or sit on the open door,
~
as this could damage the commercial
dishwasher or cause it to tip over.
Be aware of the potential for injury
~
when utensils with sharp, pointed ends
are placed upright, and position them
so they cannot cause injury.
7

Do NOT install the commercial
~
dishwasher in an area where there may
be the danger of explosion or freezing.
To ensure the stability of under-
~
counter dishwashers and integrated
under-counter dishwashers, they must
only be installed beneath a continuous
worktop that is bolted to the adjacent
cabinetry.
Children in the vicinity
Always supervise any children in the
~
vicinity of the commercial dishwasher.
Never allow children to play with the
commercial dishwasher.
Children must only be allowed to
~

~
or installed if they have been expressly
approved by Miele. If other parts are
attached or installed, claims under the
warranty and/or product liability
become null and void.
Whatever the application, only Miele
~
accessories should be connected to
this machine. Miele application
advisors can provide you with the item
names and numbers for accessories.
Disposal of the
commercial dishwasher
For safety and environmental
~
protection, dispose of all detergent
residues in compliance with safety
regulations (use safety glasses and
gloves).
Remove or destroy the door latch to
prevent children from locking
themselves inside. Then dispose of the
commercial dishwasher properly (see:

2 liters of water,
–
2 kg of dishwasher reactivation salt,
–
detergent for commercial
–
dishwasher, and
rinse aid for household dishwasher.
–
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory. There may be residual water
in the machine from this test. This is
not an indication that it has been
previously used.
12
Opening and closing the door
To open the door
^ Press the release catch inside the
door grip and pull forward.
If the door is opened during operation
all functions are automatically
interrupted.
To close the door
^ Push the baskets in, lift the door and
push until it clicks into position.

13
Water softener
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 cookware and in the
dishwasher.
Water with a hardness level higher than
4 gr/gal (4° d – German scale) needs to
be softened. This takes place
automatically in the integrated water
softener.
The water softener requires
–
dishwasher reactivation salt.
The dishwasher must be
–
programmed for the water hardness
in your area.
– Your local water authority can advise
you of the water hardness level in
your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between8-18gr/gal (8 - 17 °d
German scale) always program the
dishwasher to the higher value (17°d in
this example).
The dishwasher is programmed at
the factory for a water hardness level
of 20 gr/gal (19 °d).
If this setting corresponds with the
hardness of your water, continue with
"Rinse aid".
If your water is harder or softer, you will
need to program the water hardness
level using the buttons on the control
panel.
The programming can be canceled
at any time by pressing the "On/Off"
button. The procedure can then be
restarted.
Checking the programmed water
hardness level
^ Turn the dishwasher off with the
"On/Off" button.
^ Press and hold the "Extra drying"
and "Start / Stop" buttons in and turn
the dishwasher on with the "On/Off"
button.
If the water in your area is very soft
and consistently lower than 4 gr/gal
(4 °d) you do not need to add
dishwasher salt. The salt indicator,
however, will still come on, but
should be ignored.
Local water hardness:
gr/gal or °d
14
^
Release the buttons.
The hardness level set will flash in the
display.
The digit sequence after the a
indicates the hardness level set in °d.
^
Turn the dishwasher off with the
"On/Off" button.

Water softener
Filling the salt reservoir
Only special, coarse-grained
reactivation salt* should be used in
this machine.
*Available from Miele. Please see
back page for more information.
Do not use other types of salt, e.g. table
salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These
could contain components which are
insoluble in water and could damage
the water softener. If in doubt consult
the Miele Professional Department.
The salt reservoir holds about 2 kg of
salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt
,
reservoir with detergent will damage
the water softener.
Before filling, make sure that you are
using reactivation salt.
Place the supplied funnel over the
^
salt reservoir.
^ Carefully fill with reactivation salt.
Displaced water will run out as it is
being filled.
^ Remove the lower basket.
^
Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
,
Filling the salt reservoir with
salt for the first time:
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 liters
of water first.
16
Clean any excess salt from the
^
thread and seal.
^ Screw the cap on firmly.
Water softener
Recharge indicator
The reactivation salt needs to be
replenished when the "Recharge"
indicator lights.
^ Close the door.
^ Immediately run the "Pre-wash"
program to remove any traces of salt
from the cabinet.
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically
reactivated the next time the
dishwasher is run. The salt indicator
may still light during this process. It will
go out once the salt concentration has
reached the correct level.
17
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 dispensed
during the final rinse.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
,
reservoir with powder or liquid
detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
household dishwashers into the
reservoir.
Filling the rinse aid reservoir
^
Press the button of the rinse aid
reservoir flap in the direction of the
arrow until the flap springs open.
Add rinse aid 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 will enter
the rinse aid reservoir during the
program.
^ Clean up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming from
occurring during the next program.
18
Rinse aid
Rinse aid indicator
^ Fill the rinse aid reservoir when the
"Rinse aid" indicator comes on. There
will be enough rinse aid left for2-3
wash programs.
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The dosage selector has settings from
1-6. It is factory set to the
recommended setting "3" (3 ml).
Approx. 3 ml of rinse aid are used per
program.
If spots appear on cookware and
glassware
^ Use a higher setting.
If clouding or smearing appears on
cookware and glassware
^
Use a lower setting.
19
Use
Loading the machine
Removing excess soils
Scrape food from dishes before
^
placing them in the dishwasher.
Inadequate pre-cleaning can clog
the filters and interrupt the wash
program.
Important
Select baskets and inserts which are
–
appropriate for the application.
Load items so that water can reach
–
all surfaces.
– Do not place dishes or cutlery inside
other pieces.
– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pots, etc. should be placed upside
down in the respective inserts.
Hollow vessels should be inverted
and placed in the correct inserts.
– Concave based items such as mugs
or bowls, should be placed at an
angle so that water does not pool.
Small items should be placed on the
–
cup racks in the upper basket. Do
not obscure them with larger items
below, e.g. place bowls on the rack
above the cups so that water
reaches all items.
Do not place very tall items in the
–
front right hand area of the lower
basket as these would prevent the
detergent dispenser lid from
opening.
Cutlery can be placed in any order in
–
the cutlery holders however, for the
best cleaning and drying results,
place the cutlery in the inserts with
the handles down.
Be careful when sorting items
,
with sharp pointed ends. Position
them in the machine so 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.
–
To ensure good water coverage, tall,
narrow and hollow items should be
placed in the center of the baskets
rather than in the corners. Do not
obscure them with larger items
below.
–
The spray arms must not be blocked
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets. Check
clearance by manually rotating the
spray arms.
20
Use
Items not recommended for
dishwashing
Cutlery with wooden or bone
–
handles.
Wooden or plastic cutting boards.
–
Plastic items that are not heat
–
resistant.
Glued items, e.g. old knives with
–
handles which have been glued on.
Hand-made craft items, antiques,
–
valuable vases and decorative
glassware.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminum
items may discolor or become matt.
– Colors painted over a glaze may
fade after a number of washes.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. Do not wash
delicate glassware or glassware
containing lead crystal in a
dishwasher.
We recommend
When purchasing cookware,
–
glassware and cutlery, make sure
they are dishwasher-safe.
Wash particularly delicate glassware
–
by hand.
Please note
Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or
spotted at the end of a program, where
water has not run off smoothly. Dry with
a soft cloth.
Silver treated in a silver immersion dip
is usually dry at the end of a program
but may tarnish.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur may discolor.
These include egg yolk, onions,
mayonnaise, mustard, fish and
marinades.
,
Aluminum components (e.g.
grease filters) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents. These
may damage the material or, in
extreme cases, cause a severe
chemical reaction.
21
Use
Upper basket
Small, lightweight, delicate items such
as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert
bowls, etc. , should be placed in the
upper basket.
Shallow pans or casserole dishes can
also be placed in the upper basket.
Hinged cup rack
To make room for tall items, raise the
rack upwards.
Long items such as soup ladles, mixing
spoons and long knives should be
placed lying down across the front of
the upper basket.
22
Use
Adjusting the upper basket
In order to gain more space for taller
pieces of cookware in the bottom or
upper basket, the upper basket can be
adjusted to three levels with 2 cm
between each level.
The upper basket can also be set at an
angle with one side high and the other
side low. Make sure that the basket can
be inserted smoothly into the cabinet.
