Proper use

Proper use

This commercial dishwasher complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the dishwasher, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.

With its short program running times and powerful cleaning performance, this Miele commercial dishwasher is intended for commercial use in commercial environments.

This appliance is designed exclusively for use as a "dishwasher" for cleaning cookware, glassware and cutlery only, as described in these instructions. Alterations or conversions to the dishwasher, or using it for purposes other than those for which it is designed, are not permitted and could be dangerous.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or incorrect use or operation.

This commercial dishwasher is intended only for stationary indoor use.

The special inserts are to be used for their specific purpose only.

This commercial dishwasher is not suitable for the cleaning of medical products or devices.

Persons who lack physical, sensory or mental abilities, or experience with the appliance should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

6

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

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 inlet hose. Do not shorten the water inlet 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.

8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper 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 cabinet can cause damage to the dishwasher. If foam escapes, the program must be cancelled immediately.

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.

9

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricants, or paint in the dishwasher. These substances could damage the dishwasher.

Do not hose down the dishwasher or its direct vicinity to clean it, e.g. with a water hose or high-pressure cleaner.

Ensure that the stainless steel outer casing of the appliance does not come into contact with solutions or steam containing acid to avoid any corrosion damage.

Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and positioning them in the dishwasher so that you do not hurt yourself or create a danger for others. Cutlery should be placed in baskets in such a way that no injuries can occur.

Remove any coarse food deposits from the items being cleaned before loading them in the dishwasher.

Children in the vicinity

Supervise children when they are anywhere near this dishwasher. Do not let them play with it. There is a danger that children may lock themselves in the dishwasher.

Children must not be allowed to operate this dishwasher.

Keep children away from chemical agents. These contain irritant and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be residual chemical agent in the cabinet. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled chemical agent.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with this dishwasher. Miele will provide you with the article designations of the accessories.

Only use Miele baskets and inserts with this dishwasher. Using baskets and inserts made by other manufacturers, or making modifications to Miele accessories can cause unsatisfactory cleaning results, for which Miele cannot be held liable. Any resultant damage would not be covered by the guarantee.

Opening and closing the door

Opening the door

The control panel also serves as a door handle.

Grasp the handle underneath the control panel and lower the door to open.

If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted (see "Operation, Interrupting a program").

A program which is already running should only be interrupted if strictly necessary, e.g. if the wash load is moving about significantly.

Closing the door

Push the baskets in.

Raise the door upwards until the catch engages.

23

Filling the salt container

Reactivation

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher water needs to be softened. The water is softened automatically in the water softener.

Dishwasher salt is required for reactivation and the degree of water hardness must be set on the dishwasher to ensure problem-free functioning of the water softener (see "Additional settings, Water hardness").

If the hardness of your water constantly lies under 4 gpg (4 °dH), no salt must be filled in the water softener.

Do not fill the salt container with dishwasher detergent (even liquid detergent).

Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.

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

Other types of salt may contain insoluble components which can damage the water softener.

Salt refill reminder At the end of a program, fill the salt reservoir with salt as soon as the message appears in the display.

	Confirm the message with the OK button.
	If salt is not added, the symbol indicating a lack of salt will appear
	beside the program name on the right.
	At the end of each program, the lack of salt message appears again.
	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 after a few seconds after the salt has been refilled.
		The salt refill reminder is deactivated if the dishwasher is set to a
		water hardness of 0 - 4 gpg (0 - 4 °dH).

	The following message will appear in the display shortly before this
	happens:
			Machine locking	K
			Insufficient salt
				OK

24

Filling the salt container

Only a few more program cycles are possible, depending on the program selected and the water hardness set.

The dishwasher is locked against operation if additional program cycles are run without salt being refilled.

	Salt container empty,	K
	Program locked
		OK

When reactivation salt is added, the appliance will unlock itself after a few seconds.

Filling the salt container

Only open the door half way when adding salt to avoid spilling it.

Press the button on the lid of the salt reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

Open the funnel.

Do not fill water into the salt reservoir!

25

Filling the salt container

Add salt only until the funnel of the salt reservoir is full, so that it can close properly. The salt reservoir will hold approx. 4.4 lbs (2 kg) of salt on the first fill depending on the degree of coarseness. Subsequent refills may take less salt, as there may still be salt remaining in the reservoir.

Do not add any more than 4.4 lbs (2 kg) of salt.

Displaced water may run out as the reservoir is being filled.

Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and the seal around it, and then close the flap.

After refilling the salt reservoir, run the Rinse program immediately (without any cookware in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

26

Adding rinse aid

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.

Conversion to the external DOS module must be carried out only by Miele Service or by an authorized dealer.

Rinse aid	Refill rinse aid at the end of a program as soon as the message

		Normal plus		:
		Temperature		55 °C
		Duration		23Min

If rinse aid is not added, the symbol indicating a lack of 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.

27

Adding rinse aid

Adding rinse aid Open the door all the way.

Unscrew the lid of the rinse aid reservoir.

Add rinse aid only until it is up to the maximum mark on the edge of the reservoir.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 10 oz (300 ml).

Screw the lid of the rinse aid reservoir back on tightly so that water cannot get into the reservoir during the wash cycle.

Clean up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming from occurring during the next program.

You can adjust the dosage 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 respective cookware and utensil into the appropriate
		places in the baskets, but observe the following instructions:
	Load the cookware so that water can access all surfaces. This
		ensures that they get properly cleaned.
	Load plates symmetrically in the upper and lower baskets with the
		concave surface towards the center of the basket (as shown on the
		following pages).
	Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces. They will cover
		each other.
	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 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.
	Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the
		baskets. Small items, e.g. lids, should therefore be placed in the
		cutlery basket.

Items not suitable for dishwashers:

We recommend

Please note:

–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.

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).
