Failure to do this could result in personal injury, damage to the machine and damage to property.
This dishwasher must be securely bolted to the floor using a BBF
80 kit.
Do not install this dishwasher in an area where there is a risk of
explosion or freezing conditions.
In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the
furniture in the area around the dishwasher should be designed for commercial use.

Technical safety

This dishwasher must only be installed, commissioned, repaired
and then maintained by the Miele Service Department or an authorised Miele Service dealer. Installation, repair and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and Miele will not be held liable.
This dishwasher must only be operated by appropriately trained
personnel. They must be instructed and trained regularly.
Before using the 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 dishwasher, switch off at the
mains immediately and call the Miele Service Department or an authorised Miele Service dealer.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the correct functioning and safety of the appliance.
The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
10
Please follow the advice on installation in these instructions and
the separate Installation diagram.
Before connecting the appliance, ensure that the connection data
on the data plate (voltage, frequency and fuse rating) match the mains electrical supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger
of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug (see "Electrical connection").
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not open the dishwasher casing. Tampering with electrical
connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
The dishwasher must not be used if the electrical connection cable
is damaged. If the cable is damaged it must be replaced with a special cable available from Miele. For safety reasons this must only be done by the Miele Service Department or an authorised Miele Service dealer.
The dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains electrical
components. It must not be dipped in water.
There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not shorten
the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.

damage, provided the following conditions are met:
– installation has been carried out correctly,
– the dishwasher is properly maintained and parts replaced where it
can be seen that this is necessary,
– the stopcock has been turned off during longer periods of
inactivity (e.g. whilst on holiday).
The Waterproof system will work even if the dishwasher is switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to the electricity supply.

Correct use

This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and cleaning
agents suitable for use in commercial dishwashers only. Organic solvents and flammable liquid agents must not be used in it. This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components in the dishwasher and cause liquids to leak out of it.
Only use cleaning agents formulated for use in commercial
dishwashers. Using unsuitable cleaning agents could adversely affect components in the dishwasher, as well as items being cleaned.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
dishwasher to tip up and be damaged or cause an injury.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
After any plumbing work the water pipework 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. Crockery, 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 cabinet must not be used as drinking water.Pre-treating items (for example with washing-up liquid and other
cleaning agents) as well as some types of soiling and some cleaning agents 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 programme must be cancelled immediately and the machine must be disconnected from the mains electrical supply.
When using cleaning agents and specialised products, it is
essential that the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Cleaning agents must only be used for the purpose they are designed for and in the situation specified, to avoid such dangers as serious chemical reactions and material damage (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).
Do not inhale or ingest powder cleaning agent. Dishwasher
cleaning agents 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 cleaning agent has been swallowed or inhaled.
Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical cleaning agents
may have on the material of the items being cleaned. Observe the cleaning agent 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 chlorides or metals which are not rust-proof to get into the wash cabinet.
Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in
the dishwasher. These substances could damage the dishwasher.
12
Do not hose the dishwasher or near vicinity down to clean it, e.g.
with a hosepipe or a pressure washer.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and
positioning them in the dishwasher 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.
Remove any coarse food deposits and empty out any containers
or utensils before loading them in the dishwasher.

Safety with children

Supervise children when they are anywhere near this dishwasher.
Do not let them play with it. There is a danger that children playing might shut 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. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee and Miele cannot accept liability.
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.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible (by law, depending on country) for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Filling the salt reservoir

Reactivation

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft mains water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on the load and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness of more than 0.7mmol/l (4°dH German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener must be set to the exact hardness of the mains water.
Your local water authority will be able to tell you the exact degree of hardness of the mains water supply. For future servicing it is useful to make a note of your water hardness level. Enter your water hardness level here:
______________ °dH or mmol/l
The water softener must be reactivated at regular intervals. Special reactivation salt is required for this.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid cleaning agent.
Dishwasher cleaning agent will damage the water softener.
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, or pure evaporated salt. Miele Professional offer appropriate products.
Other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
If the hardness of your water is constantly less than 0.7 mmol/l (= 4°dH German scale), salt is not required for the water softener. However the water softener must still be set.

Rinsing agent

Rinsing agent 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. Rinsing agent 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 rinsing agent reservoir with rinsing agent. Do not fill it with washing-up liquid or powder or 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 authorised Miele Service Dealer.
In the Beer glasses programme the final rinse is carried out without rinsing agent.

Add rinsing agent reminder

Refill rinsing agent at the end of a programme as soon as the
message appears in the display.
Confirm the message shown with the OK button.
If rinsing agent is not added, the symbol indicating a lack of rinsing agent will appear beside the programme name on the right.
The refill reminder will be displayed again at the end of every subsequent programme.

Refill reminders can be displayed during the programme cycle by pressing the OK button.
If there are no further refill reminders, the symbol in the display will go out a few seconds after the rinsing agent has been refilled.

Adding rinsing agent

Adding rinsing agent
Open the door fully.
Unscrew the cap on the rinsing agent reservoir
Add rinsing agent only until it is up to the maximum mark on the
edge of the funnel on the reservoir.
The reservoir holds approx. 300 ml.
Screw the cap back on securely so that water cannot get into the
reservoir during the wash cycle.
Run the "Cold" programme to rinse away any spilled rinsing agent.
This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.
You can adjust the dosage for best results (see "Further settings, Additional functions").

Areas of application

Loading the dishwasher

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

Notes

Ensure that no acid or solvent residues, especially hydrochloric acid or chlorides, get inside the wash cabinet.
Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher.
These substances will damage the dishwasher.
Crockery can be loaded into the appropriate places in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed:
Load the crockery 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 centre of the basket (as shown on the following pages).
Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other pieces where they
may be concealed.
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 centre of the
basket if possible to ensure better water coverage.
Wide 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.
Small items can fall through the holders in the baskets. Small items
should therefore be placed in the cutlery basket.
36
Areas of application

Items not suitable for dishwashers:

We recommend

– Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts: these
may discolour 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 aluminium items: these may discolour or
become matt.
– Colours 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 crockery 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 programme with very low temperatures (see programme chart) is selected and that suitable cleaning agent is used. This will reduce the risk of clouding.

Please note:

Silver and aluminium which has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolour.
Aluminium 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 cleaning agent

Only use cleaning agent for commercial dishwashers. Suitable products are available from Miele Professional.
Cleaning agent can be dispensed in powder form via the powder detergent dispenser or in liquid form via an external DOS module (Optional accessory - see "DOS module").
Tabs can be used in all programmes except for "Super short". Only use tabs that are quick dissolving. Suitable tabs are available
from Miele Professional.

Powder cleaning agent

Only use powder cleaning agent or tabs in the door dispenser compartment.
Add powder cleaning agent or a tab to the detergent dispenser in the door before every wash programme (except Super short, Cold,
Reactivation and Drain). Follow the tips on the next page.
Add the appropriate amount of cleaning agent to the dispenser
according to the degree of soiling of the items to be washed (observe the quantities given in the "Programme chart").
Press the opening catch on the dispenser in the direction of the
arrow. The flap will spring open to the left.
The flap is always open at the end of a programme.
45
Operation
Place the required amount of powder cleaning agent or a tab in the
detergent dispenser in the door and close the flap.

Dispensing

Always follow the recommendations of the cleaning agent
manufacturer.
There are markings to assist with dispensing: 20 and 40. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or 40 ml when the door is open in the horizontal position. They also indicate the approx. level in grammes (depending on the manufacturer and the coarseness of the agent).
The compartment holds a maximum of 60ml.

Tips for the Super short programme

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

Remove any soiling from the control panel and from the front of the dishwasher straight away.
Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour.
All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the
external surfaces.

Cleaning the control panel

Clean the control panel with a clean sponge and a solution of
washing-up liquid and hot water, or with a clean damp microfibre cloth. Dry the control panel with a soft cloth afterwards.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents! These can damage the control panel.

Cleaning the door front

To clean the stainless steel front, use a damp cloth with a solution
of washing-up liquid and hot water, or with a non-abrasive cleaning agent for use on stainless steel.
To help prevent re-soiling (fingerprints, etc.), a suitable stainless steel conditioner (available from Miele) can be used after cleaning.
Do not use cleaning agents containing ammonia or thinners! These agents can damage the surface material.
Do not hose the dishwasher or near vicinity down to clean it, e.g. with a hosepipe or a pressure washer.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of cleaning agent is always used.
If, despite this, limescale 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 drink from the sides of the
dishwasher and from the hinges.
With freestanding dishwashers that have a plinth facing, please
remove spillages of food and drink from the channel that runs below the door
Be careful 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 mould 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.
Warning! 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 washing-up brush to remove soiling.

Replace the filter making sure it engages correctly.
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 washing-up 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.
Switch 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 coloured yellow so that it cannot get 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 in the direction of
the arrow as far as it will go and then pull the spray arm upwards to remove it.
98
Cleaning and care
Use a pointed object to push food particles into the spray arm jets.
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.
