IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper installation

Do not install the commercial dishwasher in areas at risk of
explosion or freezing.
To ensure the stability of undercounter commercial dishwashers,
they must only be installed beneath a continuous countertop that is bolted to the adjacent cabinetry.
In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the
furniture in the area around the commercial dishwasher should be designed for commercial use.

Technical safety

The commercial dishwasher must only be installed, commissioned,
repaired and then maintained by the Miele Service Department or an authorized Miele Service dealer. Installation, repair and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and Miele will not be held liable.
This commercial dishwasher must only be operated by
appropriately trained personnel. They must be instructed and trained regularly.
Before using the commercial dishwasher, check it for any
externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use it if it has been damaged. It could be dangerous.
In the event of a damaged or leaking commercial dishwasher, turn
it off immediately and contact Miele or an authorized Miele Service dealer.
Faulty components may only be replaced by genuine Miele original
parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the safety standards of the appliance.
The electrical safety of this commercial dishwasher can only be
guaranteed when it is connected to a correctly installed grounding conductor system. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences for the lack or interruption of a grounding conductor (e.g. electric shock).
Be sure to follow the installation instructions in this manual and in
the installation diagram.
Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage,
frequency, and fuse rating) match those of your electrical supply.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the commercial
dishwasher since the depth of the installation niche may be too small and there is a danger of overheating if the dishwasher is pushed up against a plug (see the "Electrical connection" chapter for more information).
7
Page 8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply by a
multiple outlet box or an extension cable since they do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not open the commercial dishwasher casing under any
circumstances. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
The commercial dishwasher must not be used if the connecting
cable is damaged. If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special connecting cable available from Miele. For safety reasons, this may only be performed by the Miele Service Department or an authorized Miele Service dealer.
Before maintenance, disconnect the commercial dishwasher from
the electrical supply.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains electrical
components. It must not be dipped in water.
There are live wires in the water intake hose. Do not shorten the
water intake hose, even if it is too long.
The built-in waterproof system offers reliable protection against
water damage if the following conditions are met:
– proper installation
– proper maintenance of the dishwasher or exchange of parts in
case of visible damage
– closing of the water valve during longer absences (for example
vacation)
The waterproof system will work even if the dishwasher is turned off. However, the commercial dishwasher must remain connected to the electrical supply.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

This commercial dishwasher is designed for operation with water
and detergents suitable for use in commercial or residential dishwashers only. Organic solvents and flammable liquid agents must not be used. This could cause an explosion, property damage due to the destruction of rubber or plastic, and the resulting leakage of liquids.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
commercial dishwasher to tip or become damaged.
After any plumbing work on the water supply, to the dishwasher
will need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be damaged.
Please be aware that the dishwasher may be operating at high
temperatures. If the door is opened, there is a danger of burning or scalding. Dishes, cutlery, 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.
The water in the wash cabinet is NOT safe to drink!The pretreatment of items (for example with dishwashing liquid and
other detergents), but also some types of soiling and some detergents, can cause a build-up of foam in the wash cabinet. Foam can have an adverse effect on the cleaning result.
Foam escaping from the wash chamber can cause damage to the
dishwasher. If foam escapes, the program must be cancelled immediately and the machine must be disconnected from the electrical supply.
When using detergents and specialized products, it is essential
that the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Detergents must only be used for the purpose they are designed for and in the situation specified, to avoid material damage and serious chemical reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen 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.
Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical detergents may
have on the material of the items being cleaned. Observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions with regard to storage conditions, use, and dosage.
To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids or
solutions containing chloride to get into the wash cabinet. Similarly avoid any materials with a corrosive effect.

Filling the salt container

Reactivation

In order to achieve excellent cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the buildup of calcium deposits on the load and the machine walls.
Water with a hardness of 4 gpg (= 4°dH German scale) or greater must be softened. This occurs automatically in the built-in water softener. In order for this process to function properly, the water softener must be set to the exact hardness of the water supplied.
Your local water authority will be able to tell you the exact degree of hardness of your water supply. In the event of a service call at a later date, the technician's job will be easier if the actual water hardness is known. Please note your water hardness level here:
______________ gpg or °dH German scale
The water softener must be reactivated at regular intervals. A special reactivation salt is required for this task.
Do not fill the salt compartment with dishwasher detergent (including liquid detergent).
Dishwasher detergent will damage the softener assembly.
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, or pure evaporated salt. Miele Professional offer appropriate products.
Other types of salt may contain insoluble components which can damage the softener assembly.
If the hardness of your water is consistently less than 4 gpg (= 4°dH German scale), it is not necessary to add any salt to the water softener. However, the water hardness will still need to be set.

The factory default setting for the water softener is a hardness of 20 gpg (19°dH German scale). Please observe the table below when setting the hardness level.
If the water hardness fluctuates, e.g. between 8 and 18 gpg (8 and 17 °dH German scale), always be sure to set the dishwasher to the higher value, 18 gpg (17°dH German scale) in this example.
Use the arrow buttons (higher) and (lower) to set the required
water hardness level, and confirm your entry with the OKbutton.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on cookware before the drying phase and helps cookware dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid can be poured into the reservoir in the door or can be dispensed via an external dispensing DOS module (Optional accessory - see "DOS module").
Only fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid. Do not fill it with detergent (including liquid detergent). This will seriously damage the reservoir.
Suitable products are available from Miele Professional.
Conversion to the external DOS module must be carried out only by Miele Service or by an authorized dealer.
In the Glasses program, the final rinse is carried out without rinse aid.

Refill the rinse aid at the end of a program whenever the message
appears in the display.
Acknowledge the message with the OK button.
If rinse aid is not added, the symbol indicating low rinse aid will appear beside the program name on the right.
The refill reminder will be displayed again at the end of every subsequent program.
Refill reminders can be displayed during the program cycle by pressing the OK button.

If there are no additional refill reminders, the symbol in the display will go out a few seconds after the rinse aid has been refilled.
Page 31

Adding rinse aid

Adding rinse aid
Open the door all the way.
Unscrew the lid of the rinse aid compartment.
Add rinse aid only until it is up to the maximum mark on the edge of
the funnel on the reservoir.
The rinse aid compartment holds approx. 10oz (300ml).
Screw the lid of the rinse aid compartment back on tightly so that
water cannot get into the compartment during the wash cycle.
Run the "Cold" program to rinse away any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring during the next program.
You can adjust the dispensing quantity of the rinse aid for best results (see "Additional settings, Additional functions").

Preparing the load

Remove coarse food residues from the dishware.
There is no need to rinse items under running water!

Tips

Ensure that no acid or solvent residues, especially hydrochloric acid or chlorides, get inside the machine.
Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in the dishwasher.
These substances will damage the dishwasher.
Load the dishware and utensils into their appropriate places in the baskets, but be sure to observe the following instructions:
Load the dishware so that water can access all surfaces. This
ensures that the items will be properly cleaned.
Load plates symmetrically in the upper and lower baskets with the
concave surfaces facing the center of the basket (as shown on the following pages).
Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces. They will cover
one another.
Make sure that all items are securely positioned.
Hollow items such as cups, glasses and pans, etc. should be
placed upside down in the baskets.
Tall and narrow hollow items should be placed in the center of the
basket if possible 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.
Small items can fall through the holders in the baskets. Small items
should therefore be placed in the cutlery basket.
32

Application technology

Items not suitable for dishwashers:

We recommend

– Wooden cutlery and cookware or items with wooden parts: these
may discolor and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher.
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware:
such items are not suitable for dishwashers.
– Plastic items which are not heat resistant: the high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminum items: these may discolor or
become matt.
– Colors painted over a glaze: these may fade after a number of
washes.
– Delicate glassware and glassware containing lead crystal: clouding
may occur over time.
– When purchasing new cookware and cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-proof.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing. If delicate
glassware is washed in the dishwasher ensure that only a special glass-care program with very low temperatures (see program chart) is selected and that suitable detergent is used. This will reduce the risk of clouding.

Please note:

Silver and aluminum which has been in contact with foods containing sulfur can discolor.
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, there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).

Operation

Adding detergent

Use only detergents suitable for commercial dishwashers. Suitable products are available from Miele Professional.
The detergent can be dispensed in powder form via the powder detergent dispenser or in liquid form via the DOS module (optional accessory - see "DOS module").
Tabs can be used in all programs except for "Rapid". Only use tabs that are quick dissolving. Suitable tabs are available
from Miele Professional.

Powder detergent

Only use powder detergent or tabs in the door dispenser compartment.
Add powder detergent or tabs to the detergent dispenser in the door before every wash program (except Rapid, Rinse, Reactivation and
Drain). Follow the tips on the next page.
Add the appropriate amount of detergent to the dispenser
according to the degree of soiling of the items to be washed (observe the quantities given in the "Program chart").
Press the opening catch on the dispenser in the direction of the
arrow. The flap will spring open to the left.
The flap will always be open at the end of a program.
Add the required amount of powder detergent and close the flap.

Operation
Detergent quantity
Always follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.
There are markings to help you add the right amount of detergent: 20 and 40. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or 40ml (0.7oz or
1.3oz) when the door is open in the horizontal position. They also indicate the approx. amount in grams (depending on the manufacturer and the coarseness of the powder).
The compartment holds a maximum of 60ml (2oz).

Tips for the Rapid program

With the Rapid program, the final rinse water is not pumped out at the end of the program in order to achieve short program durations in continuous use. Detergent cannot be rinsed out of the dispenser during the short program time.
If liquid detergent is not being dispensed, dispense powder
detergent directly onto the inside of the door.
To avoid corrosion or discoloration, the wash program must be started immediately after dispensing detergent directly onto the inside of the door.

Cleaning and care
Remove any soiling from the control panel and from the front of the appliance straight away.
Otherwise the surfaces can become discolored or changed.
All surfaces are susceptible to scratches. Contact with unsuitable detergents can alter or discolor the
external surfaces.

Cleaning the control panel

Clean the control panel with a clean sponge and a solution of
dishwashing liquid and hot water or with a clean damp microfiber cloth. Dry the control panel with a soft cloth afterwards.
Do not use abrasive detergents! These can damage the control panel.

Cleaning the front of the dishwasher

To clean the stainless steel front panel, use a damp cloth with either
a solution of liquid dish soap and hot water or a non-abrasive cleaning agent suitable for use on stainless steel.
To keep the front panel from getting dirty again (fingerprints, etc.), a stainless steel conditioner can be used after cleaning (e.g., Neoblank, available from Miele Service).
Do not use cleaning agents containing ammonium chloride or thinners!
These agents can damage the surface material.
When cleaning, do not hose down the dishwasher or its direct vicinity, e.g. with a water hose or pressure washer.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.
If, despite this, lime scale or grease deposits accumulate in the cabinet, these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner (available from Miele).

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door and the door seal

Wipe the door seal and the area beneath the door regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe away any spillages of food and beverages from the sides of
the dishwasher and from the hinges.
With freestanding dishwashers that have a base facing, please
remove spillages of food and beverages from the channel that runs below the door.
Be cautious of sharp edges when cleaning. Danger of cutting yourself.
These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. If soiling is not removed, mold can develop.

Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet

The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it accessing the circulation system and causing blockages in the spray arms.

Cleaning the coarse filter

This dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place!
The filters must be checked regularly and cleaned when necessary.
Caution! Danger of injury on glass splinters.
Press the catches towards each other and remove the coarse filter.
Rinse the filter thoroughly under running water. If necessary use a
soft brush to remove soiling.
Replace the filter making sure it engages correctly.
93

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the flat and micro-fine filters

Remove the coarse filter.
Grasp the micro-fine filter by the upper rim and turn it in the
direction of the arrow to release it. Then lift it out.
Remove the flat filter.
Rinse the filters thoroughly under running water. If necessary use a
soft brush to remove soiling.
Replace the filter combination in the reverse order, turning the micro­fine filter to the left to re-engage it. The flat filter must lie flat in the bottom of the wash cabinet.
The spray arms will get blocked if the filters are not replaced correctly.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

This dishwasher has three different spray arms.
Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly.
Turn the dishwasher off.
Pull the upper spray arm downwards to remove it.
The middle and bottom spray arms are secured with a bayonet fitting.
The bayonet fitting on the lower spray arm is colored yellow so that it cannot be mistaken for the fitting on the middle spray arm.
To release the bayonet fitting proceed as follows:
Using the knurled nut turn the middle spray arm to the left as far
as it will go and then pull the spray arm downwards to remove it.
Remove the lower basket.
Using the knurled nut turn the lower spray arm to the right as far
as it will go and then pull the spray arm upwards to remove it.
95
Page 96
Cleaning and care
Use a pointed object to push food particles that are stuck in the
spray arm jets into the spray arm.
Rinse the spray arms thoroughly under running water.
Replace the spray arms and check that they rotate freely.
Make sure that the spray arm with the yellow bayonet fitting is fitted in the bottom of the wash cabinet.
