Correct application

This 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.

 This dishwasher with its short programme running times and

powerful cleaning performance is intended for commercial use in

– Guest houses

– Clubs

– Nursing homes

– and other similar commercial environments.

 This appliance is designed exclusively for use as a "dishwasher"

for cleaning crockery, 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 dishwasher is intended for stationary, indoor use only.
 The special inserts should only be used for their specific

application.

 This dishwasher is not suitable for the reprocessing of medical

products or devices.

 This dishwasher can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the
consequences of incorrect operation.

8

Correct application

 This dishwasher can only be used if

– the ship’s hull is longer than 28metres.

– the list of the vessel is not more than2°.

– any external vibration is no more than 150 Hz at an amplitude of

0.35mm.

The safe operation and correct functioning of this commercial
dishwasher can only be guaranteed if the above conditions are met.

 This dishwasher may not be operated on an open deck.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct installation

 This dishwasher may only be installed and used in mobile

installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

 This dishwasher must be fixed in position when it is installed.

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.

 The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water

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.

Observe the operating instructions

Warning:
Danger of electric shock

Disposal of your old dishwasher

 For safety and environmental reasons, dispose of all chemical

agents according to the manufacturer's instructions and to safety
regulations. Safety goggles and protective gloves should be worn.

 Remove or disable the door lock prior to disposal of the

dishwasher, so that children cannot become trapped inside (see
"Caring for the environment").

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

14

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.

Opening and closing the door

Comfort door locking mechanism

This dishwasher is equipped with a Comfort door locking mechanism.
This door locking mechanism helps drying by opening the door by a
few centimetres at the end of the programme (except Super short,

Reactivation, Cold and Drain). This function can also be deactivated

(see "Settings , Drying").

Opening the door 

The door can only be opened if the dishwasher is connected to the
electrical supply and is switched on (the LED in the  button is lit
up).

The control panel also serves as a door handle.

 Press the  button to open the door. The LED in the button will go

out as soon as the door is unlocked.

 Grasp the handle underneath the control panel and lower the door

to open.

Pressing the  button during operation can interrupt the
programme (see "Operation, Interrupting a programme").

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

Opening and closing the door

Closing the door

 Push the baskets right in.

 Raise the door upwards and push it gently until the catch audibly

engages. The door will be drawn automatically into its final closed
position by the closing mechanism.

 Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.
Danger of injury.

If the door cannot be closed properly by the mechanism because it
is obstructed by crockery or similar, the Door blocked message or F

433 will appear in the display (see "Problem solving guide") and the

mechanism will open.

 Remove the obstruction from the vicinity of the door.

If too much force is used when closing the door, the Comfort door
locking mechanism will reopen the door.

The dishwasher can only be guaranteed as waterproof if the
automatic closing mechanism has drawn the door into the final
closed position.

Emergency release ­Door opened

Opening the door using the emergency release

 The emergency release may only be used when it is no longer
possible to open the door normally.

 If the emergency release is operated during a programme cycle,
hot water can escape.

Danger of scalding and burning.

The emergency release mechanism is located on the right beside the
door lock between the door and the lid of the machine (or the
worktop, with built-under machines).

The emergency release is operated using the tool supplied in the
accessory pack with the operating instructions.

 Insert the tool for the emergency release into the gap between the

lid and the door to the right of the lock. The right hand edge of the
tool should ideally be aligned with the right hand edge of the
display.

 Push the slider for the emergency release backwards with the tool

until the door opens slightly.

If you push against the door of the dishwasher at the same time,
less force will be needed to operate the emergency release.

When the door has been opened using the emergency release, the
following message will appear in the display:

Confirm the message after the door has been released from the
closing mechanism. The last programme used will then appear in the
display.

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.

Setting the water hardness level

The water softener can be set between 0 - 12.6mmol/l (0 - 70°dH).

 Select the Further settings menu.
 Select Water hardness and confirm your choice with theOK button.

The factory default for the water softener is set to a hardness of

3.4°mmol/l (19°dH).
When adjusting the setting, please consult the following table.

Where the water hardness fluctuates, e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8

- 17 °dH), always programme the dishwasher to the higher value, 3.1
mmol/l (17 °dH) in this example.

 Use the  (higher) and  (lower) arrow buttons to set the water

hardness required and confirm your entry using the OK button.
