Warning and safety instructions

Warning and safety instructions

This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can however lead to personal injury and damage to property.

Read the operating instructions carefully before starting to use this machine.This way you will avoid the risk of accidents, and damage to the machine.

Keep these instructions in a safe place for reference, and pass them on to any future user.

Appropriate usage

This dishwasher is intended exclusively for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery in a domestic household. Do not use for purposes other than those for which it was designed.

Any other applications may be dangerous.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by improper use or for uses other than those for which the appliance is intended.

Delivery

A damaged appliance is dangerous. It is therefore essential to check packaging immediately and examine the dishwasher for transport damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged machine.

Please ensure that the packaging material is offered for recycling.

Installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with the installation instructions.

In order to ensure stability, builtunder and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.

The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob unit. The high temperatures sometimes dissipated by radiant heat could damage the dishwasher.

Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has been installed.

Check that the voltage, frequency and fuse rating shown on the data plate match the household mains supply.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement is tested and where there is any doubt the electrical system in the house is checked out by a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective earthing system (electric shock, for example).

6

Warning and safety instructions

A damaged appliance is dangerous. Switch off at the mains and call your Miele supplier or the Miele Service Department.

With the “Waterproof system” the plastic housing of the water inlet connection contains an electrical component. The housing must therefore not be dipped in water.

Never cut the water inlet hose, even if it is too long. There are live wires in this hose.

For safety reasons do not operate this appliance on an extension cable. (Danger of overheating).

Daily use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.

Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water.

Avoid inhalation of powder detergents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.

Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged and you could get injured.

In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model) cutlery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury place cutlery with sharp points with the handles upwards.

Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.

Only use rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.

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

Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as disposable plastic containers, or plastic cutlery and crockery should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.

7

Warning and safety instructions

Take care on dishwashers with a visible heater element

Do not touch the heating element during or directly after the end of a programme, you could burn yourself.

Some plastic items could melt or catch fire if they were to come into contact with the heating element. Therefore always place plastic items or any other items which may not be completely heat resistant in the upper basket and ensure they cannot drop down onto the heater element. Any items which are too small to be lodged securely in the upper basket should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.

To avoid the danger of children coming into contact with the dishwasher detergent:

Only add detergent just before starting the programme and close the door, activating the child safety lock (depending on model).

Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could be detergent residues in the appliance.

To ensure children do not come into contact with detergent:

For models with the “Delay start” option make sure the dispenser is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thoroughly dispersed. If the door is open at the end of a programme, children may come into contact with this residue.

Safety with children

Do not let small children play with the dishwasher and its controls or operate it. There is a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients.

They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent.

To avoid machine and material damage

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.

This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.

Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always leads to serious damage to the water softener.

Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may damage material and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.

8

Warning and safety instructions

The Miele Waterproof System offers protection from water damage, provided the following conditions are met:

– The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.

– The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where it can be seen that this is necessary.

– The stopcock has been turned off when the machine is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).

Disposal of your old machine

When disposing of an old dishwasher first make it unusable. Disconnect, cut off the cable and the plug from the cable.

Make the door lock inoperative (2 crossslotted screws), so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the safe disposal of the appliance.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by non-observance of the warning and safety instructions.

In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance 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 appliance guarantee.

Repairs and maintenance

Repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent engineers in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply for maintenance work (switch off at wall socket and remove the plug, or remove the screw out fuse in countries where this is applicable).

Caring for the environment

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 can normally be recycled.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials which can be recycled. Please contact your local authorities or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes, before disposing of the appliance.

Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. See the appropriate section in the Warning and Safety instructions.

Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity.

You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips:

If your household water system is suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply, for further economies.

Although all stages of the wash then take place with hot water, savings are made in:

– the use of primary energy

– costs

– programme running time.

If, however, your water is heated by electricity we would still recommend connection to cold water.

For most economical dishwashing make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher.

Choose the programme to suit the type of crockery being washed and the degree of soiling.

Select the “Top Solo” function if washing only a small amount of crockery

(see “Additional functions”).

Select the Economy programme for energy-saving dishwashing.

Use the correct amounts of detergent.

Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if baskets are only half full.

The drying heat can be switched off, shortening the length of the programme and saving energy. The load then dries to a large extent in its own heat (see “Additional options and functions”).

10

Before using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first time you require:

– approx. 2 litres of water,

– approx. 2 kg dishwasher reactivation salt,

– domestic dishwasher detergent,

– rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.

Before using for the first time

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 machine has been previously used.

Before using for the first time

Water softener

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. Hence if mains water hardness is above 4 °d

(0.7 mmol/l), the water should be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener.

– The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.

– The dishwasher must be programmed to correspond to the water hardness in your area.

– Your local water authority will advise you on the highest level of water hardness in your area.

If the hardness of your local supply is constantly lower than 4 °d (= 0.7 mmol/l), you do not need to add dishwasher salt. The dishwasher must, however, still be programmed to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.

Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 8 - 17 °d (1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l), always set the machine to the higher value (17 °d in this example).

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

Enter the water hardness below:

Programming the water softener

The water hardness level of your water supply must be programmed into the machine using the programme touch pads.

The water hardness level selector in the wash cabinet is then also set to the water hardness level in your area.

Programming the machine to the water hardness level

The water hardness level programmed into the machine can be checked or changed using the programme touch pads on the control panel. Each time a pad is touched one of the indicator lights (n) will flash and light up in the control panel.

The programming procedure can be cancelled at any time by pressing the

“Off” touch pad. The procedure can then be re-started from the beginning again.

The dishwasher is programmed at the factory to operate with a water hardness level of between 22 and 35 °d

(4.0 to 6.3 mmol/l).

Filling the salt reservoir

Important. Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt 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.

Before using for the first time

Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use).

Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always causes serious damage to the water softener. Make sure that you have picked up the right packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir.

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

Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt. The salt reservoir holds approx.

2 kg of salt.

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

Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.

Run the Pre-wash programme immediately to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.

19

Before using for the first time

Salt indicator

The salt indicator light in the control panel comes on to notify you that the reservoir is empty.

Note

The salt indicator light will also come on if the water used is very soft (below

4 °d / 0.7 mmol). In this case the reservoir should not be filled with salt. The indicator light will remain lit and should be ignored.

(See “After sales service” for definition of “PC”).

The reservoir should then be refilled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.

( See: Filling the salt reservoir)

After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is run. The salt indicator light may still be illuminated during this process. It will go out once the salt concentration has reached the correct level.

20

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.

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

Make sure you have added rinse aid before using the dishwasher for the first time.

Adding rinse aid

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always causes serious damage to the reservoir.

Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.

Press the button in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

Alternatively it is possible to use

– Household vinegar with a max. 5% acid content

Do not use vinegar with a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar essence

25% acid). This must not be used as its use would damage the dishwasher.

or

– Liquid citric acid up to 50% acid content

The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.

21

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid indicator

The Rinse aid indicator light in the control panel comes on when the rinse aid reservoir needs to be replenished.

Add rinse aid only until it is visible on the surface of the filter in the opening.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 130 ml.

Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water would enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme.

Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occuring during the next programme.

When the light comes on the reservoir still contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes.

Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

22

Setting the rinse aid dosage

Before using for the first time

The dosage selector has settings from

1-6. It is set to 3 at the factory (see arrow). Approx. 3 ml of rinse aid are then used per programme. This is a recommended setting.

If spots appear on crockery and glassware:

Use a higher setting.

If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and glassware:

Use a lower setting.

23

Loading the dishwasher

Loading the dishwasher

Note

Remove coarse food residues from crockery.

There is no need to rinse items under running water.

Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher.

Ash does not dissolve and is distributed in the wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating grease and paint cause damage to the dishwasher.

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

Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be concealed.

Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that it is properly cleaned.

Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.

Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g. champagne glasses, should be placed in the centre of the basket to ensure better water coverage.

Deep-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 do not fall through the holders in the baskets.

Small items, e.g. lids, should therefore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket.

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

When the dishwasher is being loaded food and drink residue may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces do not belong to the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Food residue should therefore be wiped away before the dishwasher door is closed.

24

Loading the dishwasher

Loading examples

Upper basket

For small, lightweight, delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. as well as heat sensitive plastic items.

Flat saucepans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.

Note for “Top Solo”

If a wash programme has been selected with the additional function “Top

Solo”, all crockery must be loaded in the upper basket and cutlery tray (if fitted).

If your dishwasher has a cutlery basket then cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with plenty of space between items.

As the middle spray arms also directs water downwards, it is possible to wash lightly soiled plates (with a large diameter) and serving platters in the lower basket, however plenty of space must be left in between items. Do not wash dishes, bowls or other hollow containers when using this function.

Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.

25

Loading the dishwasher

Flap up rack Positioning rail (depending on model)

To make room for tall items raise the rack upwards.

The positioning rail can be flipped over to the middle of the basket for easy sorting and removing of crockery.

26

Loading the dishwasher

Adjusting the upper basket

In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the bottom or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on three levels with 2 cm between each level.

The upper basket can also be set at an angle with one side high, and the other side low. Ensure however, that the basket can be inserted smoothly into the cabinet.

Pull out the upper basket.

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

Lower basket

For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc.

Small items such as saucers can also be placed in the lower basket.

Do not place thin, delicate glassware in the lower basket unless a special glassware insert or lower basket is installed.

Height limitation

The stay at the front of the upper basket determines the max. height permissible for items placed in the lower basket to ensure they do not impede the movement of the middle spray arm.

28

Glassware insert

The insert for glasses can be fitted in the left or right of the bottom basket in place of a removable insert.

Very tall glasses, e. g. tall beer glasses, can be held more securely by the vertical supports.

Loading the dishwasher

Bottle holder

The bottle holder e.g. for milk and baby bottles, can be inserted into the bottom basket in more than one place. Position in any area marked white in the illustration. Do not position in areas marked

“X”, as water cannot properly access bottles in these areas, hence cleaning results are impaired.

29

Loading the dishwasher

Cutlery

For best results cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc.

This makes unloading much easier.

Longer items such as soup ladles, cake slices, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lengthwise in the indentation in the middle of the cutlery tray.

The upper spray arm must not be blocked by items which are too big

(e. g. cake slices)

The cutlery tray insert is removable (depending on model).

Place the handles between the holders.

Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.

Spoons with round or oval handles should be placed with the heads in the holders as this prevents them slipping.

30

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 are also not suitable for dishwashers.

– Plastic items which are not heat resistant may lose shape.

– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items may discolour or become matt.

– Items with colours painted over a glaze may fade after many washes.

– Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing. Do not wash glassware containing lead crystal in a dishwasher.

We recommend:

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

– There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware. When in doubt, wash by hand.

– If delicate glassware is washed in the dishwasher ensure that only very low temperatures are used (see programme chart). This will reduce the risk of clouding.

Please note

Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or spotted at the end of a programme, where water has not run off smoothly. It may need rubbing dry with a soft cloth. Silver treated in a silver immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a programme but may discolour.

Aluminium components (e. g. a grease filter) must not be cleaned with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial cleaning agents. These may damage material, or in extreme cases, cause severe chemical reaction.

See section “Adding detergent” for information on suitable detergents.

31

Operating the dishwasher

Operating the dishwasher

Adding detergent

Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing up liquid.

You can use conventional powder detergent, tablets or liquid dishwasher detergent.

Put powder or liquid detergent into the dispenser compartment.

Detergent tablets should only be put into compartment II if this is recommended by the manufacturer.

If the manufacturer recommends inserting tablets in the cutlery basket do not do so. Instead place them on the inside of the door or directly into the wash cabinet. The tablets will then dissolve completely.

Detergent manufacturers give the required amount of detergent for a particular programme on their packaging.

Use at least 30 ml of detergent for a full load in the following programmes:

– Universal programme,

– Universal plus programme,

– Economy 45º C programme.

If the manufacturer recommends a larger amount of detergent, use the amount recommended.

Please note

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

There are currently three types of detergent on the market:

1. Detergents containing phosphates and chlorine.

2. Detergents containing phosphates but chlorine-free.

3. Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents.

Type 3 detergents are more environmentally friendly, however:

Phosphate-free detergent reacts more sensitively to water hardness than detergent containing phosphates. This may influence cleaning results.

The following problems may occur:

– Increased etching in the form of a bluish sheen on the surface of glassware

– Discolouration of silverware

– Colours painted over a glaze may fade.

Appearances of this nature are generally caused by the detergent used and are not attributable to any malfunctioning of the dishwasher itself.

Preventative measures:

– Try out a phosphate-free detergent from another manufacturer.

– Change to a detergent containing phosphates (type 2), or, if available, to a detergent containing both phosphates and chlorine (type 1).

– Programme the water hardness selector one setting higher than recommended for your supply hardness

(see chart in “Before using for the first time”). Softer water is then provided.

32

Operating the dishwasher

The bleaching effect of chlorine-free detergents is lower than that of detergents containing chlorine. This may result in increased tea stains or discolouration on plastic items. Appearances of this nature are generally caused by the detergent used and are not attributable to any malfunctioning of the dishwasher itself.

Preventative measures:

– Increase the amount of detergent used for a greater bleaching effect.

– If available, change to a detergent containing chlorine (type 1).

Should you experience difficulties when using these types of products, please contact the detergent manufacturer’s advisory service.

Warning

Avoid inhalation of powder detergents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients.

They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

Keep children away from detergents and from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.

To avoid the danger of children coming into contact with the dishwasher detergent only add detergent just before starting the programme and close the door, activating the child safety lock.

To achieve optimum results distribute the required amount of detergent, depending on the type of detergent and the programme selected, proportionally between compartments I and II of the dispenser.

It is essential to follow the instructions given in the programme chart at the end of the operating instructions.

33

Operating the dishwasher

For information

Compartment I holds max. 25 ml,

Compartment II holds max. 80 ml.

There are markings in compartment II to assist with dispensing. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20, 25, 30 ml when the door is open in a horizontal position.

Press the opening catch on the detergent dispenser. The flap will spring open.

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

34

Add the required amount of detergent and close the flap.

Ensure that the detergent package is properly sealed after use. Otherwise the detergent can lose its effectiveness.

Additional functions

“Top Solo” ( 2 )

The “Top Solo” additional function is recommended when there is only a small amount of crockery and cutlery to clean.

With this function the majority of the water is directed only to the top and middle spray arms in the dishwasher.

This means that the water jets are aimed at items in the upper basket and the cutlery tray if the dishwasher has one.

As the middle spray arm also directs water downwards, lightly soiled plates or platters can be placed in the bottom basket, and cutlery may be placed in the cutlery basket if there are large spaces between items.

Do not place dishes, bowls or other hollow containers in the bottom basket.

Because smaller amounts of crockery are being washed the amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer can be reduced to approx. 2/3 of the total amount for the full load.

Make sure, however, when reducing the amount dispensed that the cleaning result is not affected.

Using “Top Solo” will also save water and energy.

For example, in the “Economy 45°” programme this function uses only 12 l of water and approx. 0.90 kWh of electricity.

The “Top Solo” function can be selected with all programmes.

Press the “On” touch pad (15).

Unloading the dishwasher

Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot.

Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.

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

First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket and cutlery tray.

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

45

Cleaning and care

Cleaning and care

Check your dishwasher regularly

(approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided.

The dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place.

Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet

The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, thus preventing it accessing the circulation system and reentering the cabinet through the spray arms.

Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog.

Check the filter combination regularly

(every 4 - 6 months) and clean if necessary.

Switch the dishwasher off beforehand.

Turn the handle anti-clockwise to release the filter combination.

Lift the filter combination out of the machine. Remove any coarse particles and rinse the filter under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.

46

Cleaning and care

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

Pull back the yellow clip to do this.

Rinse all parts under running water, using a nylon brush if necessary.

Then close the flap so that the clip engages.

Important:

After cleaning make sure that the clip has properly engaged.

Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

Secure the filter by turning the handle in a clockwise direction.

47

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months).

Switch the dishwasher off beforehand.

Remove the spray arms as follows:

Take out the cutlery tray.

Press the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.

Remove the lower basket.

Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove it.

48

Lift up the middle spray arm b , to engage the ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm c

.

Use a pointed object to push food particles into the spray arm jets.

Rinse thoroughly under running water.

Replace the spray arms and check that they rotate freely.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.

If however there are lime scale or grease deposits in the cabinet these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner.

Cleaning the control panel

This should only be wiped with a damp cloth .

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, glass cleaning agents or allpurpose cleaners. Because of their chemical composition they could cause serious damage to plastic surfaces.

Cleaning the door and the door seal

Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits.

Wipe food and drink residue from the sides of the dishwasher door.

These areas are not part of the wash cabinet and are therefore not accessed by water from the spray arms.

Cleaning the door panel

Clean using a suitable cleaning agent.

Do not use any cleaning agents containing ammonia or thinners.

They could damage surfaces.

Problem solving guide

Problem

The indicator lights next to programme pads 1 to 5 in the opened door flash at the end of a programme

Possible cause

There may be a technical fault.

Knocking noise in the wash cabinet

Rattling noise

A whistling noise is heard during the programme

Knocking noise in the water pipes

The spray arm is knocking against an item in the basket.

Items of crockery are insecure in the wash cabinet.

The axial face seal of the circulation pump sometimes makes a whistling noise. This may be caused by detergent.

This may be caused by the on-site installation or the cross-section of the piping.

Remedy

– Switch the dishwasher off.

Run another programme.

If the indicator lights flash again at the end of this programme, there is a technical fault.

– Call the Miele Service

Department.

Despite the problem the dishwasher can be used in all programmes.

However the water will not heat up.

Solving problems

Solving problems

Cleaning the water inlet filter

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

The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. It must not be dipped in water.

Recommendation

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

This filter is available from the Miele

Spares Dept.

Cleaning the filter:

Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply (switch off at the mains socket, pull out the plug , switch off the appropriate circuit at the fuse box or withdraw the mains fuse).

Turn off the stopcock.

Unscrew the inlet hose.

Carefully remove the rubber seal.

Withdraw the filter using pointed pliers and rinse clean under running water.

Replace the filter and seal, making sure they are sitting correctly.

Screw back into place on the water inlet, taking care that it is not crossthreaded.

Turn on the stopcock gradually to test for leaks. If there is a leak, screw the connections on more tightly, making sure the threads do not cross.

57

Solving problems

Checking the water level

If the water pressure (flow pressure at the take-off point) is less than 1.0 bar, too little water will flow into the wash cabinet and the dishes will not be cleaned properly.

To check whether sufficient water flows into the wash cabinet:

Turn on the stopcock fully.

Run the “Pre-wash” programme

(without crockery) once to get water flowing throughout the machine.

Start the “Pre-wash” programme again.

After approx. three minutes open the door and remove the bottom basket from the machine.

The water level is correct when the water level (dimension “X” ), is at least

4 mm above the coarse filter in the middle of the filter combination.

If it measures less, then either the water inlet filter must be cleaned (see previous page) or the water intake time increased (see following page).

58

Solving problems

Increasing the water intake time

The water intake time is set to “normal” at the factory. If the water pressure is lower than 1.0 bar, too little water will flow into the wash cabinet (see “Checking the water level”). In this case the water intake time must be increased.

Procedure...

Open the door.

Switch the dishwasher off using the “Off” ( o ) touch pad.

Press touch pads b and d and whilst doing so at the same time switch the dishwasher on by pressing the “On” (g) touch pad.

Release touch pads b and d again.

Note: If a different indicator light is flashing, the process must be repeated.

The following indicator lights may also light up , if:

– you have not yet added rinse aid or if rinse aid needs replenishing,

– drying heat has been switched off (see “Additional functions”),

– water intake is set to extended time,

– the buzzer at the end of a programme has been set to deactivated (see see “Additional functions”).

Solving problems

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. Watch out for glass or bone splinters which could cause injury.

Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and care”, “Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet”).

Scoop the water out of the cabinet using a suitable container.

Raise the locking clamp for the nonreturn valve.

61

Solving problems

Lift up the non-return valve and rinse well under running water.

Remove all extraneous objects from the non-return valve.

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

Remove all extraneous objects from the drain pump (watch out for glass or bone splinters which are particularly difficult to detect and could cause injury). Turn the drain pump impeller by hand to check that there are no more obstructions.

Carefully replace the non-return valve and secure it with the locking clamp.

Should you ever need to move the dishwasher, e.g. when moving house, note the following:

– Empty the dishwasher,

– Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses, cables, cutlery baskets,

– Transport the dishwasher in the upright position.

If unavoidable it may be transported on its back.

Do not transport it on its side or on the door as residual water still in the machine will leak out of it.

This residual water could get into the electronic unit and cause a fault.

The dispensing method will depend on the type of detergent being used:

1) Use this ratio for:

– detergent which is chlorine and phosphate free

– detergent which is chlorine free but contains phosphates

– liquid dishwasher detergent

In this instance the whole amount is placed in compartment II.

2) Use this ratio for:

– powder detergent which contains chlorine and phosphates (but not liquid detergent)

Divide the total amount, as shown, between compartment I and compartment II.

When washing a full load in the Universal Programme, the Universal Plus Programme or the Economy

Programme at least 30 ml of detergent are required. If the detergent manufacturer recommends using more than this you should dispense the amount they suggest.

If the “Top Solo” function is selected, the appropriate amount of detergent according to the level of soiling should be added to compartment II only (approx. 2/3 of the total amount required for a full load).
