Correct application

This commercial dishwasher conforms to 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 machine,
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 application

This commercial dishwasher with its short programme running

~

times and powerful cleaning performance is intended for
commercial use in offices, break areas, recreation rooms, staff
rooms, clubhouses, workshops, active kitchens and other similar
commercial environments.

It is also intended for use in domestic households and in similar
residential environments for example by customers in hotels, motels,
bed and breakfast and other similar establishments.

The machine is not suitable for continuous use.

~

It is is not suitable for the reprocessing of medical products or

~

devices.

The machine is designed for cleaning crockery, glassware and

~

cutlery only, as described in these instructions. Alterations or
conversions to the machine, 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.

8

Correct application

The machine is intended for stationary, indoor use only.

~

The special inserts should only be used for their specific

~

application.

This machine can only be used by people with reduced physical,

~

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

9

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct installation

Do not install the machine in an area where there is any danger of

~

explosion or of freezing conditions.

In order to ensure stability, a built-under or integrated commercial

~

dishwasher must only be installed under a continuous worktop
which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.

Furniture and fittings installed near the machine must be of a

~

commercial standard able to withstand the effects of steam and
condensation.

Technical safety

This commercial 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.

The machine must be operated by appropriately trained

~

personnel only. They must be instructed and trained regularly.

Before using the machine 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 machine, switch off at the

~

mains immediately and call the Miele Service Department or an
authorised Miele Service dealer.

Repair work to the machine can only be carried out by the Miele

~

Service Department or an authorised Miele Service dealer. Any
unauthorised work will invalidate the guarantee.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

~

original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele
guarantee the safety standards of the machine.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not connect the machine to the mains supply until it has been

~

fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.

The electrical safety of the machine can only be guaranteed if

~

correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic requirement is
observed and regularly tested and where there is in any doubt, the
on-site wiring system should be 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 machine, check that the connection data

~

on the data plate (voltage, frequency and fuse rating) match the
mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.

There must be no electrical sockets behind the machine. Danger

~

of overheating if the machine were to be pushed up against a plug.
See "Electrical Connection".

Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by a

~

multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).

The machine must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant

~

temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could
damage the commercial dishwasher. For the same reason it should
not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off
heat, such as heaters etc.

Do not open the housing of the machine. Tampering with

~

electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

The machine 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 machine must be disconnected from the mains electricity

~

supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out. Do not
reconnect it until the maintenance or repair work has been
successfully completed.

The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical

~

component. The housing must not be dipped in water.

There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut 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:

– The machine is correctly installed and plumbed in.

– The machine is properly maintained and parts are replaced

where it can be seen that this is necessary.

– The stopcock is turned off when the machine is not used

for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).

The Waterproof system will work even if the machine is switched

~

off. However, the machine must remain connected to the electricity
supply.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

~

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the guarantee.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The commercial dishwasher is designed for operation with water

~

and cleaning agents suitable for use in dishwashers and
commercial dishwashers only. Organic solvents and flammable
liquid agents must not be used in this machine.
These could cause an explosion, damage rubber and plastic
components in the machine and cause liquids to leak out of the
machine.

Only use cleaning agents formulated for use in dishwashers or

~

commercial dishwashers. Using unsuitable cleaning agents could
adversely affect the components of the machine, as well as items
being cleaned.

Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the

~

machine to tip up and be damaged or cause an injury.

After any plumbing work the water pipework to the machine will

~

need to be vented.
If this is not done, components can be damaged.

Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily, as you could trip over

~

it.

Please be aware that the dishwasher may be operating at high

~

temperatures. If the door is opened there is a danger or 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.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

Foam escaping from the wash cabinet can cause damage to the

~

machine. If foam escapes from the machine the programme must be
cancelled immediately.

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 specifed, to avoid such dangers as chemical
reactions and material damage.

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher 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 advice immediately if detergent has been
swallowed or inhaled. Follow the detergent manufacturer's safety
instructions.

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 chloride to get into the wash cabinet.
Similarly avoid any materials with a corrosive effect.

Do not clean the machine or near vicinity with a water hose or a

~

pressure washer.

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 any containers or

~

utensils before loading them in the dishwasher.

14

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Supervise children when they are anywhere near the commercial

~

dishwasher. Do not allow them to 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

~

machine unless they are constantly supervised.

Children 8 years and older may only use the commercial

~

dishwasher without supervision if they have been shown how to do
so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents

~

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 detergent residues in the cabinet.
Seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with

~

this commercial dishwasher. Using spare parts or accessories from
other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot
accept liability.

The manufacturer 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 transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.

The packaging consists of the following
materials:

Outer packaging:

– Corrugated cardboard made from up

to 100% recyclable material:
or: Polyethylene (PE) shrink wrap

– Polyproplylene (PP) strapping

Inner packaging:

– Chlorine and fluorine free expanded

polystyrene (EPS)

–

Base, lid frame and support battens
made from untreated natural wood
from renewable forests

–

Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap

Disposing of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your machine.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.

To enable sorting by type of plastic for
recycling, all plastic parts of the
machine are labelled with international
standard symbols.

16

Energy saving dishwashing

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

If your water supply is suitable, this

^

commerical dishwasher can be
connected to a hot water supply for
further economies. If the water is
heated by solar panels, for example,
this would be energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity and the dishwasher is
going to be used primarily for
glasses we would recommend
connection to cold water.

^ For most economical dishwashing

make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.

Caring for the environment

When using powder or liquid

^

detergent you can use
detergent if baskets are only half full.

1

/3less

^ 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 Standard programme is the most
efficient in terms of its combined
energy and water consumption at
cleaning normally soiled crockery.

^

Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.

17

Before using for the first time

To open 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 menu,
AutoOpen").

^ Pull the handle.

To close 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.

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

,

Keep the area around the door

free of obstructions.

19

Before using for the first time

Basic settings

Switch the machine 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.

^ Select the language you want, and

confirm your selection with the

in your area.

–

Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.

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 you want,

^

and confirm your selection with the
middle button.

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

The following two messages

rinse aid

and F Add salt may then

( Add

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

These basic settings will be saved in
memory after the dishwasher has been

–

Where the water hardness fluctuates,
e.g. between 3.1 - 4.5 mmol/l
(17 - 25 °d - German scale), always
programme the dishwasher to the
higher value (4.5 mmol/l in this
example).

20

Before using the machine for
the first time, you require:

approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt for

–

reactivation,

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 the 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 must
be filled with dishwasher salt for
reactivation. The water softener is
suitable for a water hardness level of up
to 6.5 mmol/l (36 °d - German scale).

Before using for the first time

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 water softener must,
however, still be programmed to
correspond to the water hardness
level in your area.

Do not fill the salt reservoir with

,

powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent. This will damage the
water softener. Make sure you have
picked up the correct packet of
dishwasher salt before filling the salt
reservoir!

,

Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as
other salts may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.

See "Settings menu, Water hardness
level" for information on programming
the water softener to the water
hardness level in your area.

21

Before using for the first time

When filling the salt reservoir only

^

open the door halfway to ensure
that all the salt gets into the reservoir.

Do not fill the salt reservoir with
water.

^ Press the button on the lid of the salt

reservoir in the direction of the arrow.
The flap will spring open.

^

Lift up the funnel.

^ Add salt only until the reservoir is full.

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

Do not add any more than 1 kg of
salt.

As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced
water can overflow.

^

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

^

Run the Pre-wash programme imme
diately without any crockery in the
dishwasher to remove any traces of
salt from the cabinet.

-

22

"Add salt" message

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher

^

salt for reactivation when the F

message appears. (If it appears

salt

during a programme, wait until the
end of the programme).

Confirm by pressing the middle

^

button.

The "Add salt" message will go out.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the "Add salt" message may still appear
in the display if the salt concentration
has not yet reached the correct level.
If this is the case, press the middle
button again.

The "Add salt" message will not appear
if the dishwasher has been
programmed for a water hardness level
of less than 0.7 mmol/l (4°d - German
scale).

Add

Before using for the first time

,

After refilling the salt reservoir,
run the Pre-wash or Short
programme immediately (without
any crockery in the dishwasher) to
remove any traces of salt from the
cabinet.

23

Before using for the first time

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.

Only fill the rinse aid reservoir

,

with rinse aid. Do not fill it with
washing-up liquid or powder or
liquid detergent. This will seriously
damage the reservoir.

Alternatively, it is possible to use
household vinegar with a max. 5% acid
content or liquid citric acid with a max.
10% acid content. 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
containing 25% acid). This would
damage the dishwasher.

Adding rinse aid

^ Press the button on the lid of the

rinse aid reservoir in the direction of
the arrow The flap will spring open.
