Correct use

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.

Correct use

 This dishwasher with its short programme running times and

powerful cleaning performance is intended for commercial use in offices, lunch rooms, clubhouses, workshops, daycare centres, schools, large kitchens and similar professional environments.

 This dishwasher is not intended for continuous use.  This dishwasher is not suitable for the reprocessing of medical

products or devices.

 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 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct installation

 Do not install this dishwasher in an area where there is a risk of

explosion or freezing conditions.

 To ensure the stability of built-under dishwashers, they must only

be installed beneath a continuous worktop that is bolted to the adjacent cabinetry.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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).

 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.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 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.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 under 8 years of age must be kept away from the

dishwasher unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children aged eight years and older may only operate the

dishwasher unsupervised if they have been taught how to operate it safely and understand the dangers of incorrect use.

 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

 Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by

Miele. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

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

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.

Caring for the environment

Energy-saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your machine by following these tips:

 You may connect the dishwasher to a

hot water supply. This is particularly suitable with energy-saving water heating sources such as solar energy systems. If the hot water system is electrically heated and if loads consist primarily of glassware we recommend connecting the machine to the cold water supply.

 For most economical dishwashing,

make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher.

 Choose the programme to suit the

type of crockery being washed and the degree of soiling.

 Select the ECO programme for

energy-saving dishwashing. This programme is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption at cleaning normally soiled crockery.

 When using powder detergent you

can use 1/3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.

 Follow the detergent manufacturer's

recommendations on detergent dosage.

Commissioning

Opening the door

At the end of programmes with a drying phase (see "Programme chart"), the door will open automatically a little in order to help the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see "Settings, AutoOpen").

 To open the door, reach under the

door grip and pull.

If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted.

Closing the door

 Push the baskets right in.  Then raise the door up, and push

until it clicks into position.

 Do not put your hand inside the

door as it is closing. Danger of injury.

Safety lock

Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door.

 Keep the area around the door

free of obstructions.

 To lock the door, push the slide

underneath the door grip to the right.

 To unlock the door, push the slide to

the left.

Commissioning

Display

General

The display is used to select or set the following:

– the programme

– the delay start time

– settings

During a programme, the display shows the following:

– the stage the programme is at

– the estimated time left for the

programme to run

– any relevant fault messages and

information

To save energy, the dishwasher will switch to Standby-mode within a few minutes if no programme is running and no button is pressed. After several more minutes it switches off completely (see "Operation, Standby"). To turn the dishwasher back on, press the  button.

Settings menu

The Settings menu is used to alter the dishwasher's electronics to suit different requirements. You access the Settings menu by pressing a specific button combination. For more information see "Settings menu".

In the Settings menu, the normal functions of the buttons underneath the display are not active allowing you to select and confirm menu options with these buttons.

The left and right arrows in the display indicate that additional options are available. You can use the arrow buttons underneath the display, as appropriate, to select these further options.

Use the middle button underneath the display to confirm messages or settings and to switch to the next menu or submenu.

A tick  will appear beside the option which is currently selected.

Commissioning

Standard settings

 Switch the dishwasher on with the 

button.

If the dishwasher is being switched on for the first time, the welcome screen will appear.

Language

The display will then change automatically to the screen for setting the language.

See "Display" for more information about the display and controls.

 Select the language you want and

press the middle button to confirm.

A tick  will appear next to the language that has been set.

Water hardness

The display will change to the screen for setting the water hardness.

In the event of a fault, it will help the service technician if you know the hardness of your local water supply.

Enter the water hardness below:

____________mmol/l or °d

The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of

2.7mmol/l (15 °d - German scale).  Select the water hardness level for

your water supply and confirm with the middle button.

See "Settings menu, Water hardness" for more information.

The following two messages  Add

rinse aid and  Add salt may then appear

in the display. Press any button to confirm these messages. The display will change to show the main menu.

– The dishwasher must be

programmed for the water hardness level in your area.

– Your local water authority will be able

to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

– Where the water hardness fluctuates

e.g. between 3.1 and 4.5mmol/l (17 25 °d - German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (4.5mmol/l or 25 °d in this example).

Commissioning

Before using the machine for the first time, you will need:

– approx. 1kg dishwasher salt,

– approx. 110ml rinse aid,

– Dishwasher detergent, see

"Operation".

Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the machine from this test. It is not an indication that it has been used previously.

Filling the salt reservoir

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in a build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener in the dishwasher is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 6.5mmol/l (36°d

- German scale).

If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 0.7mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) you do not need to add dishwasher salt.

The dishwasher must however still be programmed for the water hardness level in your area.

 Do not fill the salt reservoir with

powder or liquid detergent. Dishwasher detergent 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.

See "Settings menu, Water hardness" for more information.

 When filling the salt reservoir only

open the door halfway to ensure

that all the salt gets into the reservoir.

 Press the button on the lid of the salt

reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

Commissioning

 Add salt only until the reservoir is full.

The salt reservoir holds approx. 1kg of salt, depending on the type of salt used.

Do not add any more than 1kg of salt.

As the salt reservoir is being filled, displaced water may run out.

 Lift up the funnel.

Do not fill the reservoir with water.

 Clean any excess salt from around

the reservoir opening, and then close the flap.

 Run the "Pre-wash" programme

immediately without a load in order to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

Commissioning

Add salt reminder

 When  Add salt appears in the

display wait until the end of the programme and then refill the salt reservoir.

 Press the middle button to confirm.

The refill reminder will go out.

After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill reminder may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. If this is the case, confirm again with the middle button.

The salt refill reminder is deactivated if the dishwasher is set to a water hardness of less than 0.7mmol/l (0 - 4 °dH).

 Run the "Pre-wash" or the

"Short" programme immediately without a load in order to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid 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. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.

 Fill the reservoir with rinse aid

only. Do not fill it with washing-up liquid or cleaning agent.

This would damage the rinse aid reservoir.

Suitable products are available from Miele Professional.

Alternatively household vinegar with a max. 5% acid content or liquid citric acid with a max. 10% acid content can be used. The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.

 Do not use vinegar with a higher

acid content (e.g. vinegar essence 25% acid).

This would damage the dishwasher.

Commissioning

Adding rinse aid

 Press the button on the lid of the

rinse aid reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

 Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This

prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results (see "Settings menu, Rinse aid").

Rinse aid refill reminder

When the  Add rinse aid message appears, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only.

 Add rinse aid in plenty of time.  Press the middle button to confirm.

The refill reminder will go out.

 Add rinse aid only until it is visible in

the opening.

The reservoir holds approx. 110ml.

 Close the flap firmly so that it clicks

into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme.

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 anywhere 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).

 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 or cutlery tray (depending on model).

Some foods may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolour if large quantities of these foods find their way into the dishwasher on the dishes. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration.

 Do not place crockery and cutlery

inside other pieces where they may be concealed.

 Load the crockery so that water can

access all surfaces. This ensures that they get properly cleaned.

 Make sure that all items are securely

positioned.

Loading the dishwasher

Items not suitable for dishwashers:

– 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.

We recommend

– 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).

Loading the dishwasher

Upper basket

 For safety reasons, do not

operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place.

 Use the upper basket for small,

lightweight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.

 Long items such as soup ladles,

mixing spoons and long knives should be placed horizontally across the front of the upper basket.

Hinged spikes

The rows of spikes can be folded down to make more room for larger items such as casserole dishes.

 Press the yellow lever downwards ,

and then lower the spikes .

Cup rack

 Raise the rack upwards to make

room for tall items.

Glasses can be arranged along the cup rack for support during the programme.

 Lower the cup rack and lean the

glasses against it.

Loading the dishwasher

Jumbo cup rack

The cup rack can be set at two different widths so that it can also accommodate large cups.

 Pull the cup rack upwards and click it

back into position at the required width.

Glass rail

This rail is designed to hold tall glasses and stemware securely.

 Lower the rail and lean tall glasses

against it.

Adjusting the height of the glass rail:

You can set the glass rail at two different heights.

 Pull the rail upwards and click it back

into position at the required height.

Use the low setting for small glasses and tumblers.

Use the high setting for tall glasses and stemware.

Loading the dishwasher

Adjusting the upper basket

In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the lower or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on 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. This can be useful to help prevent water being left in deep dishes etc. Ensure, however, that the basket can be inserted smoothly into the cabinet.

 Pull out the upper basket.

Depending on the setting of the upper basket, the following plate dimensions can be accommodated.

Detergent

Powder detergents

Use powder detergent or dishwasher tabs only in the door dispenser compartment. Suitable products are available from Miele Professional.

Tabs can be used. Only use tabs that are quick

dissolving. Suitable tabs are available from Miele Professional.

 Add powder detergent or cleaning

tabs to the detergent compartment.

Detergent dosage

 Unless directed otherwise, use one

tab or add 20 to 25g of powder detergent to compartmentII, depending on the level of soiling. With very heavy soiling you can also add a small amount of powder detergent to compartmentl (see "Programme chart").

Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.

Liquid cleaning agent

This dishwasher can be fitted with an external dispenser pump for liquid cleaning agent (DOS module).

See "Settings menu - External DOS" to activate the dispenser pump and set the dosage.

For special soiling and if using liquid cleaning agent dispensed by a liquid detergent pump, contact Miele for advice on how to set the dosage for best results.

 Cleaning agents containing

active chlorine must not be used. They can damage plastics and

elastomers in the dishwasher.

Refilling or changing containers

The DOS module is equipped with a level indicator. Add detergent will appear in the display when the level drops below the minimum.

 As soon as the message appears in

the display, refill or replace the container with a full one at the end of the programme.

 Confirm the message shown with the

 The DOS system must then be

vented.

To vent the system and adjust the dosage amount, see "Settings menu, External DOS".

Checking consumption

Monitor the amount of chemical agents used by regularly checking the level in the container.

Always follow the recommendations of the cleaning agent manufacturer whether using powder or liquid cleaning agent.

Operation

 Avoid inhalation of powder

detergents and do not ingest dishwasher detergent. Detergents can cause chemical burns in the nose, mouth and throat. Seek medical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep detergent and other cleaning agents out of the reach of children at all times. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. To avoid the danger of children coming into contact with the dishwasher detergent, only add detergent just before starting the programme and close the door, activating the safety lock.

 Add the required amount of detergent

and close the flap.

 Make sure that the detergent

packaging is properly closed after use to avoid it getting damp and clumping together.

Adding powder detergent

 Press the opening catch on the

detergent dispenser. The flap will spring open.

The flap is always open at the end of a programme.

Dispensing information

Compartment I holds max. 10ml, Compartment II holds max. 50ml of detergent.

There are markings to assist with dispensing: 20 and 30. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or 30ml when the door is open in the horizontal position. They also indicate the approx. level in grams (depending on the manufacturer and the coarseness of the agent).

Operation

Switching on

 Open the stopcock, if it is closed.  Make sure the spray arms can rotate

freely.

 Close the door.  Switch the dishwasher on with the 

button.

The ECO programme (which is the factory default programme) will appear in the display and the appropriate indicator light will come on. After a short while, the estimated running time for the programme will appear in the display.

You can also change the setting to the programme you last used (see "Settings menu, Programme preselection").

Selecting a programme

Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is.

When the indicator light next to the  symbol lights up, you can select further programmes using the > button. With further programmes the name of the programme will alternate with the programme duration in the display.

You can now select additional functions (see "Additional functions").

To start a programme

 Press the Start/Stopbutton.

The programme will begin.

If any additional functions are selected, the appropriate indicator lights will also light up.

A programme should only be cancelled in the first few minutes, if at all.

Important programme stages (e.g. reactivating the water softener) could otherwise be omitted.

The different programmes and their uses are described in the Programme chart later on in this booklet.

 Select the programme required with

the button.

The indicator light for the selected programme comes on and the indicator light for the Start/Stop button flashes.

Operation

Time display

The duration of the programme selected appears in hours and minutes in the display before the programme begins. During the programme, the time left until the end of the programme is displayed.

Symbols appear to indicate which stage the programme is at:

 Pre-wash  Main wash  Interim rinse  Final rinse  Drying  Finished

The displayed programme duration may vary with the same programme. It is influenced by, among other things, the water temperature at each intake, the reactivation process of the water softener and the amount of dishes.

When a programme is selected for the first time, the display shows an average programme duration for warm water.

The programme duration changes if the electrical connection is changed.

Standby

To save energy, the dishwasher will switch to Standby mode a few minutes after the last time a button has been pressed or a few minutes after the end of the programme. The display and the indicator lights will go out and only the Start/Stop indicator will flash slowly.

 Press any button to switch the

display back on.

If the dishwasher is not switched off at the end of the programme, it will switch off completely after a few minutes in Standby mode (see "Settings menu, Optimise standby").

The dishwasher will not switch into Standby mode whilst a programme is running, if salt or rinse aid needs to be replenished or there is a fault.

You can switch off the reminders to replenish salt and rinse aid so that the dishwasher will go into Standby despite a lack of salt or rinse aid (see "Settings menu, Refill display"). You cannot switch off fault messages.

Operation

At the end of the programme

The programme has finished when Finished or AutoOpen appears in the display and the door has opened slightly (if applicable).

If Extra drying was selected and

AutoOpen is active, the drying fan will

run for a few minutes after the programme has ended.

 Open the door completely to re-

engage the door closing mechanism.

You can now empty the dishwasher.

 If you have deactivated the

automatic door opening function (see "Settings menu, AutoOpen"), but would still like to open the door at the end of the programme, then make sure that you open the door fully.

Otherwise steam from the dishwasher could damage the edge of the worktop because the fan is no longer running.

Switching off

At the end of a programme:  Switch the dishwasher off with the 

button.

The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until it is switched off with the button.

Tip: If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, the stopcock should be closed.

Unloading the dishwasher

Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.

If you open the door fully after switching off, the dishes will cool much faster.

First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket and finally the cutlery tray (depending on model). This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and cutlery tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

Operation

Interrupting a programme

A programme is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened.

 Water in the dishwasher may be

hot. Danger of scalding. Only open the door if absolutely

necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle. Then raise the door up and push until the catch engages.

Changing a programme

Cleaning and care

Periodic checks

To prolong the service life of the dishwasher, it should should be serviced after every 750 hours of operation, or at least once a year by Miele Service.

This maintenance will cover the following:

– Electrical safety according to national

regulations (VDE 0701/0702 in Germany)

– Door mechanism and door seal

– Any screw connections and

connectors in the wash cabinet

– Water inlet and drainage

– Internal and external dispensing

systems

– Spray arms

– Filter combination

– Sump including drain pump and non-

return valve

 All surfaces are susceptible to

scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning

agents can alter or discolour the external surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely selfcleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent 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).

Washing at low temperatures can allow germs and odours to build up inside the machine. To prevent this, run an intensive programme with detergent after approx. 20 programme cycles at low temperatures.

– All baskets and inserts

The following operational tests will be carried out within the framework of the maintenance:

– A programme will be run as a test run

– Thermo electrical measurements will

be taken

– Seals will be tested for water

tightness

– All relevant measuring systems will

be safety tested including error message displays.

– Safety features

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door and the door seal

 Wipe the door seal regularly with a

damp cloth to remove food deposits.

 When the dishwasher is being

loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door.These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any soiling should be wiped off these surfaces before the door is closed.

Cleaning the door front

 Remove any soiling immediately.

Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour.

 Clean the front with a clean sponge

and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid. After cleaning, dry with a soft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth without cleaning agent can also be used.

To avoid damaging the surfaces of the machine, do not use:

– cleaning agents containing soda,

ammonia, acids or chlorides,

– cleaning agents containing descaling

agents,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

powder cleaners and cream cleaners,

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

– stainless steel cleaning agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

– oven sprays,

– glass cleaning agents,

– hard, abrasive sponges and brushes,

e.g. pot scourers,

– melamine eraser blocks,

– sharp metal scrapers,

– steam cleaning appliances.

Cleaning and care

Checking 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 re-entering the cabinet through the spray arms.

 This dishwasher must not be

used without all the filters in place.

Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.

The message Check filters will appear in the display after every 50 programme cycles (factory default setting).

You can turn off the filter check or set the interval for this message to appear between 30 to 60 programme cycles (see "Settings menu, Check filter").

 Check the filter combination.  Clean it, if necessary.  Confirm the message with the middle

button.

Cleaning the filters

 Switch the dishwasher off.

 Turn the handle anti-clockwise to

release the filter combination .

 Lift the filter combination out of the

dishwasher . Remove any coarse particles and rinse the filter well under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.

 Make sure that when cleaning

the filters, no coarse soil falls into the circulation system.

This would cause a blockage.

The last selected programme will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate indicator light will come on. After a short while, the estimated running time for the programme will be displayed.

Cleaning and care

To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened:

 Press catches  together in the

direction of the arrows as shown, and open the filter .

 Rinse all the filters under running

water.

 Then close the flap so that the catch

engages.

 Replace the filter combination so that

it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

 Then turn the handle clockwise to

lock the filter combination in place.

 Take care when fitting the filter

combination that it is secured in position correctly.

Otherwise coarse soil could get into the circulation system and cause a blockage.

Cleaning the 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 (approx. every 4 - 6 months).

 Switch the dishwasher off.

Remove the spray arms as follows:  Take out the cutlery tray (if your

dishwasher is fitted with one).

Cleaning and care

 Pull the lower spray arm firmly

upwards to remove it.

 Push the top spray arm upwards to

engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.

 Push the middle spray arm in  to

engage the ratchet. Then unscrew spray arm .

 Remove the lower basket.

 Use a pointed object to push food

particles into the spray arm jets.

 Rinse the spray arms thoroughly

Maintenance

Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw connection of the valve on the water inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned when dirty, otherwise insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet.

 The plastic housing of the water

connection contains an electrical component.

The housing must not be dipped in water.

Recommendation

If the mains water contains a large number of insoluble substances, we recommend fitting a large-area filter in the connection between the stopcock and the water inlet hose threaded union. This filter is available from Miele.

Cleaning the filters:

 Disconnect the dishwasher from the

mains (switch the dishwasher off, unplug it or disconnect or disable the fuse).

 Close the stopcock.  Unscrew the inlet hose.

 Carefully remove the seal from the

threaded union.

 Withdraw the filter using pointed

pliers and rinse clean under running water.

 Take care when withdrawing the filter

not to pull out or dislodge the flow regulator located underneath the filter.

 Replace the filter and seal, making

sure they are sitting correctly.

 Reconnect the inlet hose to the

stopcock, making sure it goes on correctly and is not cross-threaded.

 Turn on the stopcock gradually to test

for leaks. If there is a leak, the inlet hose might not be on securely, or it may have been screwed on at an angle. Unscrew and reconnect the water inlet hose correctly before tightening it.

Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve

If the water has not been pumped away at the end of a programme the drain pump or the non-return valve might be blocked. They are, however, easy to clean.

 Disconnect the dishwasher from the

mains (switch the dishwasher off, unplug it or disconnect or disable the fuse).

 Take the filter combination out of the

wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and care", "Cleaning the filters").

Maintenance

The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow).

 Scoop the water out of the cabinet

using a suitable container or utensil.

 Press the catch for the non-return

valve inwards .

 Lift out the non-return valve  and

rinse well under running water.

 Remove all foreign objects from the

non-return valve.

 Remove all foreign objects from the

drain pump carefully (watch out for glass splinters which are particularly difficult to detect). Turn the drain pump impeller by hand to check that there are no more obstructions. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.

 Carefully replace the non-return

valve.

 Ensure that the catch engages

correctly.

Be very careful not to damage sensitive components when cleaning the drain pump and the non-return valve.

Customer service

Repairs

In the event of any faults that you cannot remedy yourself, please contact:

– the Miele Service Department, or

– your Miele Dealer, or

– a qualified specialist.  When contacting Miele, you will need

the model and serial number of your dishwasher.

These can be found on the data plate along the right edge of the open door.

Programme updates

The programme update function is designed to enable a service technician to update your dishwasher's electronics in keeping with advances in technology.

Programme updates can only be performed by a Miele service technician.

Electrical connection UK

 All work on the electrical

connection must be carried out by Miele, a Miele authorised technician or a qualified electrician.

– In the UK it must comply with BS

7671.

– Connection to the power supply must

be made via a suitable plug and socket which conforms to national regulations and must be accessible for service and maintenance work after the machine has been installed.

– For hard-wired machines, connection

should be made via a suitable mains switch with all-pole isolation which, when in the off position, ensures a 3mm gap between all open contacts.

– For increased safety, it is

recommended to protect the machine with a suitable residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30mA.

This machine can be converted to a different type of power supply in accordance with the conversion diagram and wiring diagram supplied.

The data plates are located at the back of the dishwasher and along the right edge of the open door.

The wiring diagram is supplied with the machine.

The conversion diagram is attached to the plinth panel behind the plastic plinth cover.

– Equipotential bonding should be

carried out if required.

– The mains connection cable may

only be replaced by an original Miele spare part.

– For technical data see data plate or

wiring diagram supplied.

The dishwasher must only be operated with the voltage, frequency and fuse rating shown on the data plate.

Electrical connection UK

Remove the plinth panel.

The electrical connection is located behind the front cover in the middle of the dishwasher plinth.

 Disconnect the machine from the

mains supply.

 All work on the electrical

connection must be carried out by Miele, a Miele authorised technician or a qualified electrician.

 Unscrew the 2 screws (left and right)

and remove the plinth panel.

 Screw the plinth panel back on when

work on the connection has been completed.

Please refer to the installation diagram provided.

Equipotential bonding connection

There is a screw connection point marked  at the back of the appliance, to which additional equipotential bonding can be connected.

Plumbing

The Miele Waterproof system

Provided your dishwasher has been installed correctly, the Miele Waterproof system will provide protection against water damage throughout its lifetime.

Connection to the water supply

 The water in the dishwasher

must not be used as drinking water.

– The dishwasher must be connected

to the water supply in strict accordance with current local and national water authority regulations.

– The water used must at least comply

with European regulations for drinking water quality. If the water supply has a high iron content there is a danger of corrosion occurring on items being cleaned in the dishwasher, as well as the machine itself. If the chloride content of the water exceeds 100mg/l the risk of corrosion to items being cleaned in the dishwasher will be further increased.

– The water pressure (flow pressure at

the take-off point) must be between 30 and 1000kPa (0.3 and 10bar). If the water pressure is lower than this, the fault message Inlet will appear in the display (see "Problem solving guide"). If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducer valve must be fitted.

– A stopcock valve with a 3/4 inch male

thread must be provided on site. It should be easily accessible so that the water supply can be turned off when the dishwasher is not in use.

– The DN 10 inlet hose is approx. 1.5m

long terminating in a 3/4inch female thread. A 1.5m long flexible metal extension hose tested to 140bar (14,000kPa) is available as an optional accessory if required. On no account may the inlet filter be removed.

– In certain regions (e.g. mountainous

regions), the water composition may cause precipitates to form, requiring the use of softened water for the dishwasher.

– UK only: To comply with water

regulation requirements, this dishwasher must be connected to the drinking water supply via the check valve supplied with the machine.

 To avoid any damage to the

machine, the dishwasher must only be connected to a fully vented plumbing system.

 The inlet hose must not be

shortened or damaged in any way as it contains electrical components (see illustration).

Plumbing

Connecting the drain hose

– The dishwasher drainage system is

fitted with a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose.

– The dishwasher drainage hose

should be connected to a separate on-site drain for the dishwasher only. If no separate drain is available, we recommend connecting it to a dualchamber siphon.

– The dishwasher is equipped with a

1.5m flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22mm. Hose clips are supplied with the dishwasher.

– The drain hose must not be

shortened. The hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4m and the delivery head no higher than 1m.

– The drainage system must be able to

accommodate a minimum drainage flow of 16l/min.

Venting the drainage system

If the on-site drain connection is situated lower than the guide path for the bottom basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the machine to empty itself of water.

To vent it:

 Open the dishwasher door fully.

 Pull the lower spray arm firmly

upwards to remove it.

 Cut off the top of the vent valve in the

wash cabinet.

 Make sure that there are no kinks

in the hose, and that it is not squashed or stretched.
