 Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and

positioning them in the commercial dishwasher that you do not hurt
yourself or create a danger for others. Position them so they cannot
cause injury.

 Remove any coarse food deposits and empty out any containers

or utensils before loading them in the commercial dishwasher.

15

Warning and Safety Instructions

Safety with children

 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.

Never allow children to play with the dishwasher. There is a danger
that children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

 Younger children must be kept away from the dishwasher unless

they are constantly supervised.

 Under certain circumstances, children may only use the

dishwasher if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.
Children must be able to recognize and understand the potential

the door is open. There could still be residual process chemicals in
the dishwasher. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has
swallowed or inhaled any process chemicals.

Accessories

 Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by

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

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

16

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packaging material

The cardboard box and packaging
materials protect the appliance during
shipping. They have been designed to
be biodegradable and recyclable.

Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also the
amount of waste.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for the proper
functioning and safe use of the
equipment. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Therefore, please
do not dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.

Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please
ensure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal.
Observe safety requirements for
appliances that may tip over or pose an
entrapment hazard.

17

Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity.
For best results follow these tips:

– Make full use of the baskets without

overloading the dishwasher. This
results in the most economical
dishwashing.

– Choose a program that best suits the

degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.

– Select the ECO program for energy-

saving dishwashing. This program is
the most efficient in terms of its
combined energy and water
consumption for cleaning dishes with
a normal level of soiling.

– Follow the detergent manufacturer's

recommendations on detergent
dosage.

– When using powder or liquid

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

18

20

Commissioning

Water hardness

The display changes to the screen for
setting the water hardness.

– The dishwasher must be

programmed to the correct water
hardness for 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 10 - 16gr/gal (10 - 15
°d), always program the dishwasher
to the higher value (16gr/gal or 15 °d
in this example).

It is useful to know your water hardness
so that you can provide the service
technician with this information in the
event of any service calls.

Enter the water hardness below:

____________ gr/gal (°d)

The dishwasher is programmed at the
factory for a water hardness level of 16
gr/gal (15 °d).

Finally, the messages Miele@home

enabled and Set up complete will appear

in the display.

After confirming these messages with

OK, the messages Refill salt and
Refill rinse aid may appear.

 Add salt and rinse aid if necessary

(see “Commissioning, Reactivation
salt” and “Rinse aid”).

 Confirm the messages with OK.

The program selected will appear briefly
in the display and the appropriate
indicator light will come on.
The display will then show the
estimated program duration for the
program selected.

These basic settings will be saved after
the dishwasher has been through one
complete program.

 Use the  arrow buttons to select

the hardness of your water supply
and confirm with OK.

See “Settings menu, Water hardness”
for more information on setting the
water hardness.

21

Commissioning

For commissioning purposes, you will need:

– Approx. 2L of water

– Approx. 2kg (4lbs) of reactivation

salt

– Detergent for commercial

dishwashers

– Rinse aid for commercial

dishwashers

Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.

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

Reactivation salt

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 dishes and in the dishwasher.
Water supplies with a hardness level
higher than 4gr/gal (4°d) need to be
softened. This occurs automatically in
the integrated water softener. The water
softener is suitable for a water hardness
level of up to 37gr/gal (36°d).

If the water in your area is very soft
and consistently lower than 5gr/gal
(5°d), you do not have to add
reactivation salt. The salt refill
indicator is switched off automatically.

 Dishwasher detergent will

damage the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with

powder or liquid detergent.

 Use only special, coarse-grained

reactivation salt or other pure
evaporated salt.

Other types of salt may contain
insoluble components which can
cause the water softener to
malfunction.

Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.

The water softener requires reactivation
salt.

22

Commissioning

Filling the salt reservoir

Important! Before filling the salt
reservoir with reactivation salt for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
2L of water to enable the salt to
dissolve.

Once the dishwasher has been used
for the first time, there is always
sufficient water in the reservoir.

 Remove the lower basket from the

wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.

Water or brine will run out of the
reservoir when the cap is removed.

It should therefore only be removed
in order to refill the salt reservoir.

 Fill the reservoir with approx. 2L of

water (first use only).

 Clean any excess salt from around

the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again firmly.

 Run the Rinse & Hold program

without a load immediately after
having filled the reservoir with salt in
order to dilute any brine which may
have overflowed and have it pumped
away.

Salt refill indicator

 Fill the salt reservoir with reactivation

salt when Refill salt appears in the
display.

 Confirm with OK.

The salt refill indicator will go out.

 Danger of corrosion!

Run the Rinse & Hold program
without a load immediately after
having filled the reservoir with salt in
order to dissolve and wash away any
brine which may have overflowed.

 Place the provided funnel over the

salt reservoir and carefully fill with
reactivation salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds approx.
4lbs (2kg) of salt, depending on the
type of salt.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the refill indicator may still appear in the
display if the salt concentration has not
yet reached the correct level. In this
case, still confirm the message again
with OK.

The salt refill indicator will be turned off
if you have programmed the dishwasher
for a water hardness below 5gr/gal
(5°d).

If you do not want the refill indicators
to appear, you can switch off both
refill indicators for salt and rinse aid
(see “Settings menu, Switching off the
refill reminders”).

23

Commissioning

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not stick and leave marks on
dishware during the drying phase and
helps dishes dry faster after they have
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically.

 Fill the reservoir with rinse aid for

commercial dishwashers only. Do
not fill it with dish soap or cleaning
agent.

This would damage the rinse aid
reservoir.

Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.

Alternatively, it is possible to use

– household vinegar with a max. 5%

acid content

or

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.

– liquid citric acid with up to 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
with 25% acid).

This could damage the dishwasher.

24

 Add rinse aid only until it is visible in

the opening.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
110ml (3.7oz.).

 Close the flap firmly so that it clicks

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

Tips

Remove coarse food residues from
dishes.

There is no need to pre-wash items
under running water.

 Do not wash items soiled with

ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or
paint in the dishwasher. These
materials will cause damage to the
dishwasher.

Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the
baskets, but the following notes should
be observed:

– Do not place dishes and cutlery

inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.

– Load the dishes so that water can

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

– Make sure that all items are securely

positioned.

– Make sure that small items cannot

fall through the holders in the
baskets.
Small items such as lids should
therefore be placed in the cutlery tray
or cutlery basket (depending on
model).

Some foods such as carrots,
tomatoes or ketchup may contain
natural dyes. These dyes can
discolour plastic items in the
dishwasher if large quantities of
these foods are in contact with the
dishes inside the machine. The
stability of plastic items is not
affected by this discolouration.
Washing silverware can also cause
plastic items to discolour.

– Hollow items such as cups, glasses

and pots should be placed upside
down in the baskets.

– Tall, narrow, hollow items such as

champagne glasses should be
placed in the centre of the basket
rather than in the corners. This
ensures 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.

26

Loading the commercial dishwasher

Items not suitable for dishwashers

– Wooden cutlery and dishes or items

with wooden parts, as these may
discolour or fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof.
As a result, wooden handles could be
loosened after being washed in the
dishwasher.

– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases

and decorative glassware are also
not suitable for dishwashers.

– Plastic items which are not heat

resistant may become deformed.

– Copper, brass, tin and aluminum

items may discolour or become dull.

– Colours painted over a glaze may

fade after a number of washes.

– Delicate glassware and glassware

containing lead crystal may become
cloudy over time.

Please note

Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or

spotted at the end of a program where
water has not run off smoothly. It may
need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.

 Aluminum components (e.g.

ventilation hood grease filters) must
not be cleaned in the dishwasher
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents.

These may damage the material. In
extreme cases, they can cause a
severe explosive chemical reaction
(such as an explosive oxyhydrogen
gas reaction).

Useful tip: When purchasing dishes
and cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-safe.

Glass care

– Clouding may occur on glasses after

frequent washing. When washing
delicate glassware in the dishwasher,
ensure that only a special glass-care
program with very low temperatures
is selected (see Program overview).
This will reduce the risk of clouding.

– Purchase glassware which is

dishwasher safe (e.g. Riedel
glassware).

– Use detergents with glass protective

additives.

Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions,
mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, and
marinades.

Cleaning tabs can be used.
Only use tabs that are quick

dissolving. Suitable tabs are
available from Miele Professional.

 Add powder cleaning detergent or

cleaning tabs to the detergent
compartment.

Detergent dosage

 Unless directed otherwise, use one

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

Liquid detergent

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

See “Settings menu, External DOS” to
activate the dispenser pump and set
the detergent dosage..

For special soiling or if using liquid
detergent dispensed by a liquid
detergent pump, contact Miele for
advice on how to adapt the detergent
dosage to the particular
circumstances.

 Cleaning agents containing

active chlorine must not be used.
They can damage the elastomers

and plastics of the commercial
dishwasher.

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

38

Operation

Refilling or changing containers

The DOS module is equipped with a
level indicator which shows the Refill

detergent message 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 containing
the appropriate process chemical at
the end of the program.

 Confirm the message with the OK

button.

Replace the container in good time
to prevent the dispensing system
being emptied completely.

displayed.

Each program phase is indicated by a
symbol:

 Pre-wash / Soak
 Main wash
 Interim rinse
 Final rinse
 Drying
 End

The displayed program duration may
vary with the same program. It is
influenced by, among other things, the
water temperature at each intake, the

running or if there is a fault.

The times shown in the program
overview refer to standard test loads
and temperatures.

Each time a program is run, the
electronic module calculates the
program duration required depending
on the temperature of the water taken
into the dishwasher and the amount of
dishes.

43

Operation

Program end

The program has finished when End
appears in the display and the door has
opened slightly (if applicable).

The drying fan may continue to run for
a few minutes at the end of the
program.

 Open the door completely to re-

engage the door closing mechanism.

The dishwasher can now be emptied.

 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 program, 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 program:
 The dishwasher can be switched off

at any time using the button.

Switching the dishwasher off during a
program stops the program.

Switching the dishwasher off during the
run-up to a delay start time (FlexiTimer)
will also stop the process.

If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e.g.
while on vacation, the water supply
should be turned off.

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.

The dishes will cool much faster if you
open the door when the program has
ended.

44

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

Operation

Interrupting a program

A program will be interrupted as soon
as the door is opened.
If the door is closed again, the program
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
upwards until the catch engages.

Cleaning and care

Service

To prolong the service life of the
commercial dishwasher, it should
should be serviced at least once a
year by Miele Service.

Maintenance covers the following:

– electrical integrity,

– 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 baskets and inserts

The following operational tests will be
carried out as part of the maintenance:

 All surfaces are susceptible to

scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning

agents can alter or discolour all
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 build up in the chamber, these
can be removed with a proprietary
dishwasher cleaner (available from
Miele). Follow the dosage
recommended by the manufacturer on
the packaging.

 Clean the filters in the wash cabinet

regularly.

– A program will be run as a test run

– Seals will be tested for water

tightness

– All relevant measuring systems will

be safety tested, including fault
displays

– Safety features

Check the condition of your
dishwasher regularly (approx. every
4 – 6 months). This way, faults and
problems can be avoided.

54

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door and the door seal

The door seal and the sides of the
dishwasher door are not accessed and
cleaned by the spray arm jets.

 Regularly wipe off any food or drink

residues which may have dripped
onto the sides and seals of the
dishwasher door with a damp cloth
before closing it to prevent the build­up of mould.

Cleaning the door front

 Soiling that is left too long might

become impossible to remove and
could cause the external surfaces to
alter or discolour.

Remove any soiling immediately.

 Clean the front with a clean sponge

and a solution of hot water and dish
soap. After cleaning, wipe the front
dry using a soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfibre cloth
without cleaning agent can also be
used for cleaning.

To avoid damage to the outer
surface, do not use:

– Cleaning agents containing soda,

ammonia, acid or chloride

– Cleaning agents containing lime

scale remover

– Abrasive cleaning products such as

scouring powder, scouring liquid or
pumice stones

– Cleaning agents containing solvents

– Stainless-steel cleaning agents

– Dishwasher cleaner

– Oven cleaner

– Glass cleaner

– Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,

e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents

– Eraser sponges

– Sharp metal scrapers

– Steel wool

– Steam cleaning appliances.

55

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray
arms should therefore be checked and
cleaned regularly.

 Turn the dishwasher off.

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

applicable).

 Push the top spray arm upward to

engage the inner ratchet, then
unscrew the spray arm.

 Pull the lower spray arm firmly

upward to remove it.

 Push the middle spray arm upward

 to engage the ratchet, then
unscrew the spray arm .

 Remove the lower basket.

56

 Use a pointed object to push food

particles in the jets into the spray
arms.

 Rinse the spray arms thoroughly

under running water.

 Refit the spray arms and check that

they rotate freely.

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. This prevents soiling
getting into the circulation system and
re-entering the chamber through the
spray arms.

 This dishwasher must not be

used without all the filters in place!

Filters can become blocked by soiling
which collects over time. 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 program
cycles (factory default setting).

You can set the interval for this
message to appear to between 30 and
60program cycles (see “Settings menu,
Check filters”).

Cleaning the filters

 Turn the dishwasher off.

 Turn the handle counter-clockwise to

release the filter system .

 Take the filter combination out of the

dishwasher . Remove any coarse
particles and rinse the filter well
under running water.
If necessary, use a soft cleaning
brush to remove soiling.

 Check the filter combination.
 Clean it, if necessary.
 Then confirm the message with OK.

The message will go out.

 Ensure that coarse soil does not

get into the circulation system and
cause a blockage.

57

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 until

both arrows point toward each other.
This will lock the filter combination in
place.

 When you are fitting the filter

combination, take care that it is
secured in position correctly.

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

58

Electrical connection

Electrical connection

 All work on the electrical

connection must be carried out by
Miele Service, a Miele-authorized
technician or a qualified electrician.

– The electrical installation must be in

compliance with current local and
national safety regulations!

– The plug connection must comply

with national regulations. (The
electrical outlet must be accessible
after the appliance has been
installed.) This therefore facilitates an
electrical safety test performed
during maintenance or service work,
for example.

– If the dishwasher is permanently

wired to the power supply, a main
switch capable of disconnecting the
dishwasher at all poles must be
installed. This switch must have a
contact gap of at least 3mm and
must also be lockable in the neutral
position.

Converting the machine to a different
type of power supply can lead to
longer program durations, resulting in
increased energy consumption.

The values declared on the label will
only be achieved if the machine
remains in the state in which it was
delivered.

The data plates (with VDE test
certificate, etc.) 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 electrical connection base cover
panel.

– If necessary, equipotential bonding

must be carried out.

– If replacing the power cable, use only

original Miele replacement parts or a
suitable cable with core cable ends.

– For technical data, see the data plate

or the attached wiring diagram!

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

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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This
appliance must be grounded. In the
event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord
which has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can
result in the risk of electric shock.
Check with an electrician if in doubt of
the appliance’s grounding. Do not
modify the plug provided with the
appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

The wires in the cord are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
green = ground
white = neutral
black = live 1
red = live 2

The Miele Waterproof system

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

Water intake

 Water in the dishwasher must

not be used as drinking water!

– The dishwasher must be connected

to the water supply in accordance
with local regulations.

– The water quality should at least

satisfy local drinking water
requirements.
A high iron content can leave to
external rust deposits on the wash
load and the dishwasher itself.
A chloride concentration greater than
100mg/l in the process water
significantly increases the risk of
corrosion for the wash load..

– The water pressure (flow pressure at

the connection point) must be
between 30 and 1000kPa (4.5 ­145psi).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message Water intake
will appear in the display (see
“Problem solving guide”).
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be fitted.

– A water shut off valve with a 3/4 inch

male thread must be provided on
site. The valve should be easily
accessible, since the water intake
should be shut off whenever the
dishwasher is not in use.

– The intake hose is an approx. 1.5m

(59") long DN 10 pressure hose with
a 3/4“ female thread. A 1.5m (59”)

flexible metal hose (certified for a
pressure of 14,000kPa / 2030psi) is
available as an extension. Do not
remove the dirt filter and the flow
regulator in the screw connection.

– In certain regions (e.g. mountainous

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

– A device for preventing the return

flow of water is not necessary, if local
regulations permit.

74

 To avoid any damage to the

machine, the dishwasher must only
be connected to fully vented
pipework.

 The inlet hose must not be

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

Connecting the water drainage system

– The dishwasher drain is equipped

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 suction lance.

– The dishwasher is supplied with an

approx. 1.5m (59“) flexible drain
hose with an internal diameter of
22mm (7/8”).
Clamps for connecting the hose are
included with the dishwasher.

– The drain hose must not be

shortened! The hose can be
extended by a connecting piece and
an additional hose. The drainage
length must not be longer than 4m
(13' 1 1/2“) and the delivery head
must not exceed 1m (3' 3 3/8”).

– The drainage system must be able to

handle a discharge rate of at least
16L/min (4.2gal/min).

Venting the drainage system

The drainage system must be vented if
the on-site connection is situated lower
than the guide path for the lower basket
rollers in the door. Otherwise a
siphoning effect during a program can
cause the commercial dishwasher to
empty itself of water.

To vent it:
 Open the commercial dishwasher

door fully.

 Pull the lower spray arm firmly

upwards to remove it.

 Cut off the cover of the vent valve in

the wash cabinet.

 Make sure that there are no kinks

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