 The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water

damage, provided that the following conditions are met:

– Installation has been carried out correctly.

– The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced

where it can be seen that this is necessary.

– The stopcocks have been turned off during longer periods of in-

activity (e.g. whilst on holiday).

The Waterproof system will work even when 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.

 Unsuitable cleaning agents could adversely affect components of

the dishwasher or the items being cleaned.

 You could injure yourself on the open dishwasher door or trip over

it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

 Do not sit, stand or lean on the opened door. This would tip or

damage the dishwasher.

 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. When the door is opened there is a danger of burning or scalding. Items, 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 chamber 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 essen-

tial that the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Cleaning agents must only be used for the purpose they are designed for by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong chemical reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).

 Do not inhale or ingest powder cleaning agent. Dishwasher clean-

ing 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, lubricating grease

or paint in the dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the dishwasher.

 Do not clean the dishwasher or near vicinity with a hose or a pres-

sure washer.

 Ensure that the outer casing of the machine 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 posi-

tioning 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

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

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

 Children under eight years of age must be kept away from the

dishwasher unless they are constantly supervised.

 Keep children away from chemical agents. These contain irritant

and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be residual chemical agent in the wash 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.

Economical dishwashing

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

– For most economical dishwashing,

make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher. This results in the most economical dishwashing.

– Choose the programme to suit the

type of crockery being washed and the degree of soiling.

– Select the ECO programme for en-

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

Caring for the environment

– Follow the detergent manufacturer's

recommendations on detergent dosage.

– When using powder or liquid deter-

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

Before using for the first time

Opening the door

 Risk of damage due to leaking

water. The door of the commercial dish-

washer must not be opened during operation.

Once the programme has started, leave the door closed to ensure that no water drips out.

 Risk of damage due to opening

the door accidentally. When the commercial dishwasher is

being installed, it must be equipped with a mechanism that prevents the door opening accidentally while at sea.

Bolt the door with the mechanism to ensure no items or baskets fall out of the dishwasher.

Closing the door

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

til it clicks into position.

 Danger of injury.

Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.

Safety lock

The child safety lock can be used to prevent children opening the dishwasher. The door can then only be opened by using a lot of force.

 To open the door, reach under the

door grip and pull.

Keep the area around the door free of obstructions.

 To lock the door, push the slide un-

derneath the door grip to the right.

 To unlock the door, push the slide to

the left.

Before using for the first time

Basic settings

 Switch the dishwasher on with the

button.

The welcome screen will appear when the dishwasher is switched on for the first time.

Language

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

 Use the arrow buttons to select

the language you want and also the country, if applicable, and confirm your selection with OK.

See “Display” for more information about the display and controls.

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

Time of day

The display will then change to the screen for setting the time of day.

The current time of day must be set before you can use the “FlexiTimer” programme option. You can also show the current date and time in the display.

 Use the arrow buttons to set the

hour and confirm with OK.

 Then set the minutes and confirm

with OK.

Keeping the arrow buttons pressed in will increase and decrease the time automatically.

The display will then change to the screen for setting the clock display.

 Select whether or not the time of day

should show in the display and confirm your selection with OK.

 If you have selected Display On, con-

firm the message about higher energy consumption with OK.

Before using for the first time

Water hardness

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

– The dishwasher must be pro-

grammed 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 1.8–2.7mmol/l (10– 15°d – German scale)), always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7mmol/l (15°d) in this example).

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

Therefore, please enter the water hardness:

____________°d or mmol/l

Next, the information Miele@home en-

abled and Set up finished will appear in

the display.

After confirming these prompts with

OK, the messagesAdd salt and Add rinse aid may appear.

 Add salt and rinse aid if necessary

(see “Before using for the first time”, “Dishwasher salt” and “rinse aid”).

 Confirm the messages with OK.

The programme selected will appear in the display briefly and the indicator light for the programme selected will come on. Then the display will show the estimated duration for the programme selected.

These basic settings will be saved in memory after the dishwasher has been through one complete programme.

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

2.7mmol/l (15°d – German scale).  Use the arrow buttons to select

the hardness you want and confirm with OK.

See “Settings menu, Water hardness” for more information.

Before using for the first time

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

– approx. 2litres of water,

– approx. 2kg dishwasher salt,

– detergent suitable for commercial

dishwashers,

– rinse aid suitable 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.

Dishwasher salt

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 on the inner surfaces of the appliance. Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7mmol/l (4°d – German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener 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 0.9mmol/l (5°d – German scale) you do not need to add dishwasher salt. The salt refill indicator is switched off automatically.

 Detergent will damage the water

softener. Do not fill the salt reservoir with

powder or liquid detergent.

 Only use special coarse-grained

dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen salt for reactivation.

Other salts may contain insoluble additives that can impair the functioning of the water softener.

The water softener requires dishwasher salt.

Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve.

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

 Remove the lower basket from the

wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

 Risk of corrosion due to saline

solution. Water or saline solution will run out

of the reservoir when the cap is removed. Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the dishwasher load.

The salt reservoir should therefore only be opened in order to replenish the salt.

 Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres

of water (first use only).

 Place the funnel provided over the

salt reservoir and carefully fill with dishwasher salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 2kg of salt, depending on the type of salt used.

 Clean any excess salt from around

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

 Run the Cold pre-wash programme

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

Salt refill indicator

 When Add salt appears in the dis-

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

 Confirm with OK.

The salt refill reminder will go out.

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

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.

 Fill the reservoir with rinse aid

suitable for commercial dishwashers 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, it is possible to use

– Household vinegar with a max. 5%

acid content

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.

– Liquid citric acid 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 25% acid).

This would damage the dishwasher.

Before using for the first time

 Add rinse aid only until it is visible in

the opening.

The rinse aid 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.

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

 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.

 Refill with rinse aid in plenty of time.  Confirm with OK.

The rinse aid refill reminder will disappear.

Loading the dishwasher

Notes

 Danger of injury during loading

and unloading. The baskets may roll out of the dish-

washer when at sea. Make sure that the baskets do not

roll out of the dishwasher during loading and unloading.

Remove coarse food residues from crockery.

There is no need to rinse items under running water.

 Damage due to unsuitable ma-

terials. Ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or

paint can cause damage to the dishwasher.

Do not wash items soiled with these materials in the dishwasher.

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

– Do not place crockery and cutlery in-

side other items where they will cover one another.

– Load the crockery so that water can

access all surfaces.

– Tall and narrow hollow items, such as

champagne glasses, should be placed in the middle 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.

– Make sure that small items cannot

fall through the holders in the baskets. They should therefore be placed in the cutlery basket.

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

– Make sure that all items are securely

positioned.

– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,

pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.

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 res-

istant: 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.

Please note

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

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

 Aluminium components (e.g.

cooker hood 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).

Tip: When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-proof.

Glass care

– Clouding may occur on glasses after

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

– Purchase glassware which is dish-

washer safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).

– Use detergents with glass added

glass protection.

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

Heavily soiled items

Operation

Detergent

Powder detergents

Use powder detergent or detergent tabs only in the door dispenser compartment.

Tabs can be used. Only use tabs that are quick dissolv-

ing.

Suitable products are available from Miele Professional.

 Add powder detergent or tabs to the

detergent compartment.

Detergent dispensing

 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”).

Liquid detergent

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

See “Settings menu - External dispensing” to activate the dispenser pump and set the dosage.

For special soiling and if using liquid detergent, contact Miele for advice on how to set the dosage for best results.

 Cleaning agents containing act-

ive chlorine must not be used. They can damage plastics and elast-

omers in the dishwasher.

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

Operation

Refilling or changing containers

The dispenser module is equipped with a level indicator. Refill 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 canister with a full one containing the appropriate process chemical at the end of the programme.

 Confirm the message shown with the

OK button.

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

An empty dispensing system must be vented before starting the next programme.

 Place the canister on the open cab-

inet door or on a surface which is easy to clean.

 Replace the empty canister with a full

one.

 Push the siphon into the opening of

the canister and screw it on tightly. Observe the colour coding.

 Wipe up any spilled process chemical

thoroughly.

 Place the canister on the floor beside

the dishwasher or in an adjacent cupboard. The canister must be at the same level as the machine and not be placed on top of or above the machine.

 The dispensing system must then be

vented.

To vent the system and adjust the dosage amount, see “Settings menu, External dispensing”.

Checking consumption

Monitor the amount of process chemicals used by regularly checking the level in the canister in order to detect any dispensing irregularities.

 Unscrew and remove the siphon.

Place the siphon on the open cabinet door.

Changing detergent

If you want to change the detergent used, the system must first be rinsed through with water to avoid a reaction between the different detergents.

 Remove the siphon from the canister

and place it in a container of water.

 Start “Vent dispensing system” twice

(see “Settings menu, External dispensing”) to the rinse the system.

 Then place the siphon in the new

canister and start “Vent dispensing system” again.

The dispensing system is ready for operation.

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

Operation

 Do not inhale or ingest powder

detergent. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep children away from detergents. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Detergent residues could be present in the machine. Do not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the programme and activate the door safety lock.

Adding detergent

 Add the required amount of detergent

and close the flap.

 Ensure that the detergent packaging

is properly closed after use. This prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together.

The durations shown in the Programme chart refer to standard test loads and temperatures.

Each time a programme is run, the electronic unit calculates the programme duration required according to the temperature of the water taken into the dishwasher and the amount of crockery.

Operation

End of programme

The programme has finished when the message Finished appears in the display.

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

You can now empty the dishwasher.

Switching off

At the end of a programme:  The dishwasher can be switched off

at any time using thebutton.

Switching the dishwasher off during a programme stops the programme.

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. whilst on holiday, the stopcock should be closed as a precaution.

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. This will prevent water drops from the upper basket from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

Cleaning and care

Periodic checks

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

Maintenance covers the following:

– Electrical safety according to national

regulations (e.g. VDE0701/0702 in Germany)

– Door mechanism and door seal

– Any screw connections and connect-

ors in the wash chamber

– Water inlet and drainage

– Internal and external dispensing sys-

tems

– Spray arms

– Filter combination

– Sump including drain pump and non-

return valve

– All baskets and inserts

 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 self-cleaning, 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). Follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

 Clean the filters in the wash cabinet

regularly.

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

– A programme sequence will be run as

a test run

– Seals will be tested for water tight-

ness

– 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.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door and the door seal

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

 Open the dishwasher door to clean it.  Before closing the dishwasher door,

regularly wipe off any food or drink residues which may have dripped onto the sides, underside and seals with a damp cloth it to prevent the build-up 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 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 external surfaces, do not use:

– cleaning agents containing soda, am-

monia, 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 brushes or sponges,

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

– melamine eraser blocks,

– sharp metal scrapers,

– wire wool,

– steam cleaning appliances.

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.

 Switch the dishwasher off.

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

washer is fitted with one).

 Push the upper spray arm upwards

to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.

Cleaning and care

 Pull the lower spray arm firmly up-

wards to remove it.

 Push the middle spray arm upwards

 to engage the ratchet. Then un- screw the spray arm .

 Remove the lower basket.

 Use a pointed object to push food

particles into the spray arm jets.

 Rinse the spray arms thoroughly un-

der running water.

 Replace 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 cabinet through the spray arms.

 The 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.

Maintenance

Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw connection to protect the water inlet valve. 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 valve.

The housing must not be dipped in water.

Recommendation

If the water supply contains a large number of insoluble substances, we recommend fitting a large-area filter in the connection between the stopcock and the safety valve threaded union. This water filter is available from a Miele dealer or from the Miele Customer Service Department.

To clean the filter:

 Disconnect the dishwasher from the

mains. To do this, turn off the dishwasher, switch off at the socket and remove the plug.

 Close the stopcock.  Unscrew the water inlet valve.

 Remove the seal from the screw con-

nection.

 Withdraw the filter using combination

or pointed pliers and rinse clean under running water.

 Refit the filter and seal. Make sure

they are fitted correctly.

 Screw the water inlet valve to the

stopcock. Make sure not to crossthread the connection.

 Open the stopcock.

If water leaks out, the inlet hose may not be connected securely or it may have been screwed on at an angle.

 Fit the water inlet valve straight and

screw it in place.

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 supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug.

 Take the filter combination out of the

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

 Scoop the water out of the cabinet

using a suitable container or utensil.

Maintenance

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

 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.

 Press the catch for the non-return

valve inwards .

 Tilt the non-return valve inwards until

it is released.

 Rinse it thoroughly under running wa-

ter and remove any soiling from the non-return valve.

 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

well as the model and serial number of your dishwasher (see data plate).

Accessories

Some accessories may be supplied as standard, depending on model.

Cappuccinatore insert

The Cappuccinatore insert can be used for cleaning the individual parts of the Miele Cappuccinatore in the dishwasher.

Cutlery basket

The cutlery basket is placed in the lower basket and can be used to wash additional items of cutlery.

Glass rail

This rail is designed to hold glasses with stems securely in the lower basket.

Optional accessories

Electrical connection

 All work on the electrical con-

nection must be carried out by the Miele Customer Service Department, an authorised Miele dealer or a qualified electrician.

– In the UK it must comply with BS

7671.

– The connection to the power supply

must comply with national regulations (plug and socket must be accessible for service and maintenance work after the machine has been installed). An electrical safety test must be carried out after installation and after any service work.

– If the dishwasher is hard wired to the

power supply, connection should be made via a mains switch with all-pole isolation. The mains switch must ensure a 3mm gap between all open contacts, and must be able to be locked in the off position.

Converting the machine to a different type of power supply can lead to longer programme 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 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 plinth cover.

Equipotential bonding connection

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

– Equipotential bonding should be car-

ried out if required.

– If replacing the mains cable, use only

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

– For technical data see data plate or

wiring diagram supplied.

The machine must only be operated with the voltage, frequency and fusing 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.

Plumbing

The Miele Waterproof system

As long as your dishwasher has been installed correctly, the Miele waterproof anti-leak system will protect you from 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 strict accordance with current local and national water authority regulations.

– The water used must at least comply

with national 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 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 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.

– A device for preventing the return

flow of water is not necessary, as this commercial dishwasher conforms to the applicable standards for the protection of drinking water. However, if the vessel is moored and connected to a dock supply, then it is the responsibility of the dock to ensure the water supply is adequately protected.

Plumbing

 To avoid any damage to the ma-

chine, 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 drainage system

– The machine drainage system is fit-

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

– The dishwasher drain 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 dual-chamber siphon.

– The dishwasher is supplied with ap-

prox. 1.5m of 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 drainage connection is situated lower than the guide path for the lower basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise, a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the appliance to empty itself of water.

To vent it:

 Open the dishwasher door fully.

 Pull the lower spray arm firmly up-

wards 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.

In order to connect your dishwasher to your WiFi network you must first activate the network function.

This will add the Miele@home enabled option to the Settings menu.

Networking is deactivated ex-works.

Make sure that your WiFi network signal strength is strong enough at the installation site of your dishwasher.

 Select the setting you want and con-

firm with OK.

Miele@home

This option is only displayed if you have activated the network settings (see “Settings menu - Network”).

There are a number of ways of connecting your dishwasher to your WiFi network:

MielePro@mobile app

The MielePro@mobile App is available to download free of charge from the

Apple App Store® or from the Google Play Store.

After installing the MielePro@mobile App on a mobile device, you can do the following:

– Operate your professional machine

remotely

– Call up information on the operating

status of your professional machine

– Call up information on the pro-

gramme sequence of your professional machine

– Set up a Miele@home network with

other Wi-Fi enabled Miele professional machines

Settings menu

WPS pushbutton

As an alternative to networking your dishwasher via the MielePro@mobile app we recommend using WPS (Wireless Protected Setup). To do so you will need a WPS-compatible router.

 Select the WPS push button option.

Please wait will appear in the display.

 Activate the “WPS” function on your

router within two minutes.

 Once connection has been made,

confirm the message with OK.

The dishwasher will then revert to the

Miele@home enabled menu.

If the connection fails, you have probably not connected WPS on your router quickly enough. Repeat the steps above.

SmartStart

The SmartStartfunction is used for starting your dishwasher automatically at a time when your energy costs are most economical.

If the SmartStart Permitted option has been activated, SmartStart will appear in the “FlexiTimer” menu of the selected programme instead of EcoStart. The dishwasher will then start within the timeframe specified when it receives a signal from the energy supplier. If it has not received a signal from the energy supplier by the latest start time set, the dishwasher will start automatically.

 Select the setting you want and con-

firm with OK.

 Confirm the message with OK.

Settings menu

Remote control

Once you have installed the MielePro@mobileapp on your tablet, PC or your smartphone, you will be able to operate your dishwasher remotely. Your dishwasher must be signed on to a WiFi network and the Remote con-

trolfunction must be activated.

 Select the setting you want and con-

firm with OK.

 Use the Back  option to get into the

Settings  menu.

 Use Finish to leave the Settings 

menu.

 Select the Settings option again. Once you have activated the Remote

controlfunction, the MobileControl option

will be the first option listed under Settings.

In order to operate the dishwasher with the MielePro@mobileapp, please activate the MobileControl function.

If the time of day (clock) display has been switched off (see “Settings menu, Time of day”) the display will go out after a few minutes if you have activated a delay start time or remote control and only the Start indicator light will flash slowly.

Press any button to switch the display back on again for a few minutes.

If you now do not wish to operate the dishwasher remotely with the MielePro@mobileapp, you can cancel the MobileControl function.

 Switch the dishwasher off with the

button.

System settings

This function is reserved for the manual integration of your machine into your network by a Miele service technician.

 Confirm the MobileControl option with

OK.

 Close the door and press the Start

button.

The Start indicator light will come on and Remote ctrl active will appear in the display.

The dishwasher can now be operated remotely using the MielePro@mobileapp.

Settings menu

Module settings

We recommend connecting your dishwasher to your WiFi network with the help of the MielePro@mobile app or via WPS.

If you would rather set up the connection to your router yourself, or you have a special network configuration, you can enter the relevant settings yourself if you have the necessary technical knowledge.

Start module activity

If you wish to reset all entered settings and values for Miele@home, you can restore the factory default settings on your WiFi module. Any settings that do not affect Miele@home will remain unchanged.

 Select Default settings and confirm

with OK.

Please wait will appear in the display.

The message Module status: Process suc-

cessful will appear in the display after a

few minutes.  Confirm the message with OK.

2nd interim rinse

You can increase the cleaning performance in the case of stubborn soiling by selecting a second interim rinse. This function is not available for all programmes (see “Programme chart”).

 Select the setting you want and con-

firm with OK.

Brightness

There are seven different display brightness settings.

 Select the brightness you want and

confirm this with OK.

Memory

When the memory function is switched on, the most recently started programme is saved. When you switch the dishwasher off and back on again, the programme menu for the last programme selected will appear in the display instead of the ECO programme.

 Select the setting you want and con-

firm with OK.

The WiFi module factory default settings have been restored.

If the factory default settings were not restored to your WiFi module, repeat the instructions above.

Settings menu

Refill indicators

If you consistently use a multi-purpose Tab detergent you can deactivate the refill reminders for salt and rinse aid if you wish.

 Select the setting you want and con-

firm with OK.

If you switch to using detergent that does not contain salt or rinse aid, it is important to remember to add salt and rinse aid and to switch the reminders back on.

Check filters

You can adjust the interval at which the message to remind you to check the filters appears. You can set an interval between 30 and 60 programme cycles.

The reminder to check the filters is set at the factory to appear after every 50 programme cycles.

 Select the interval you want and con-

firm this with OK.

AutoOpen

This menu option is deactivated at the factory and must not be activated if the commercial dishwasher is going to be used on ships. This is to prevent items and baskets from falling out when the door is open.

The dishwasher is fitted with interior lighting. When the door is open, the lighting switches off automatically after 15 minutes.

You can also switch off the interior lighting permanently.

 Select the setting you want and con-

firm with OK.
