Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
~
This dishwasher is intended exclusively for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery in a domestic household. Using it for purposes other than those for which it was designed, as well as any alterations or conversions to the appliance, would be unauthorised and could cause harm.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.
~
This dishwasher is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it or they have been given instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
~
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away and do not allow them to play in or around the dishwasher, or to use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen. There is a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
~
Older children may only use the dishwasher when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
~
Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.
Consult a doctor immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
~
Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance.
A damaged appliance could be dangerous.
~
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher has been installed so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time. (See
"Electrical connection").
~
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.
~
The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as heaters etc.
~
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has been fully installed.
~
Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and where there is any doubt the electrical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
7
Warning and Safety instructions
~
This equipment may only be installed in mobile installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
~
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing must not be dipped in water.
~
There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Never cut the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.
~
The integrated Waterproof System offers protection from water damage, provided the following conditions are met:
– The 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 appliance is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).
The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off. However, the appliance must remain connected to the electricity supply.
~
A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains and call your Miele Chartered Agent or the
Miele Service Department.
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
~
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
~
Always disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical supply for maintenance work (switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug).
~
If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a Miele cable by a Miele approved service technician only.
~
In 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 guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions
Installation
~
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with the installation instructions.
~
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free operation.
~
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
~
If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-under ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion kit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a U-model plinth.
This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused by protruding metal parts.
Correct use
~
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
~
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
~
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily, as you could trip over it.
~
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.
~
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Do not use washing-up liquid.
~
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may cause damage, and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.
~
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
~
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct 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.
~
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 knives and forks etc.
with the handles upwards.
~
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.
~
On models with "Delay start", make sure that 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.
Accessories
~
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Disposal of your old dishwasher
~
Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
The packaging consists of the following materials:
Outer packaging:
– Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recyclable material, or: Polyethylene (PE) shrink wrap
– Polyproplylene (PP) strapping
Inner packaging:
– Chlorine and fluorine free expanded polystyrene (EPS)
– Base, lid frame and support battens made from untreated natural wood from renewable forests.
– Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance.
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 and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
To enable sorting by type of plastic for recycling, all plastic parts of the appliance are labelled with international standard symbols.
11
Caring for the environment
Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your 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. If the water is heated by for example, solar panels, this would be energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by electricity we would 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 Energy save programme for energy-saving dishwashing.
^ 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.
12
To open the door
Before using for the first time
To close the door
^ Push the baskets right in.
^ Then lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position.
^ Pull the handle.
If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted.
13
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.
Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d –
German scale) needs to be softened.
This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener.
– The water softener requires dishwasher salt.
If you use "3 in 1" or "4
in 1" products in your dishwasher, you should still add salt in order to achieve optimum results.
– The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness in your area.
– Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 °d
German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher value
(3.1 mmol/l 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.
^ Enter the water hardness below:
The dishwasher is set at the factory for a hardness level of
0.2 - 0.7 mmol/l (1 - 4 °d).
If this setting corresponds to the hardness of your water you do not need to do anything more.
If your water is harder or softer, you will need to programme the water hardness level. See following section.
mmol/l or °d
14
Before using for the first time
To programme the water hardness level

^ Switch the dishwasher off with the Off button V.
16
Before using the appliance for the first time you require:
– approx. 2 litres of water,
– approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt*,
– domestic dishwasher detergent*,
– rinse aid* formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the factory.
There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that it has been used previously.
Filling the salt reservoir
If the water hardness in your area is constantly lower than 4 °d (= 0.7
mmol/l) you do not need to add salt. The water softener must, however, still be programmed to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.
Before using for the first time
If you use combination products which have salt in them, such as
"3 in 1" or "4 in 1" products you should still add salt in order to achieve optimum results and to ensure that the water softener continues to function correctly.
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.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always leads to serious damage to the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!
,
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
17
Before using for the first time
^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Only open the salt reservoir when you want to fill it with dishwasher salt as water or salt solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed.
^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use only).
Salt refill indicator
F
^ Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt when the salt indicator light F comes on. (If it comes on during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).
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.
,
After filling the salt reservoir, run the Quick wash programme 9 immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
^ Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt depending on the brand used.
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 Quick wash programme
9 immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
18
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.
,
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent always causes serious damage to the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
– Household vinegar with a max. 5% acid content or
– 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.
If you only ever use "2 in 1", "3 in 1" or "4 in 1" products in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid.
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.
19
Before using for the first time
Rinse aid indicator
(
When the rinse aid indicator ( comes on, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only.
^ Add rinse aid in plenty of 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 during a programme.
^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.
20
Before using for the first time
Setting the rinse aid dosage
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results.
The rinse aid dosage can be set from approx. 0-6 ml. It is set to a recommended setting of approx. 3 ml at the factory.
If spots appear on crockery and glassware:
^ Increase the rinse aid dosage.
If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and glassware:
^ Decrease the rinse aid dosage.
The upper right hand programme indicator will flash briefly three times at intervals.
This means that approx. 3 ml of rinse aid will be used per programme
(factory default setting).
The number of times the upper right hand programme indicator flashes tells you the rinse aid dosage which has been set (see chart).
^ Switch the dishwasher off with the Off button
V.
^ Press the programme selector button
;? in, and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on using the

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 they get 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.
– 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. Small items, e.g. lids, should therefore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket
(depending on model).
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.
22
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: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items may discolour or become matt.
– Colours painted over a glaze may fade after a number of washes.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing. Do not wash delicate glassware, or glassware containing lead crystal in a dishwasher.
We recommend:
– When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-proof.
– If delicate glassware is washed in the dishwasher ensure that only very low temperatures are used (see programme chart), or a special glass-care programme is used
(depending on model). This will reduce the risk of clouding.
– Wash particularly delicate glassware by hand.
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 to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.
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.
,
Aluminium components (e.g.
grease filters) must not be cleaned with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial cleaning agents. These may damage the material, or in extreme cases, cause a severe chemical reaction. See section
"Adding detergent" for information on suitable detergents.
23
Loading the dishwasher
Upper basket
,
For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place.
Hinged cup rack
^ To make room for tall items, raise the rack upwards.
Positioning rail (depending on model)
Glasses can be arranged along the positioning rail to give them some support during the programme.
^ Use the upper basket for small, lightweight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.
^ Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.
^ Raise the rail, and lean the glasses against it.
The positioning rail can be flipped over to the middle of the basket for easy sorting and removing of crockery.
24
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. This can be useful to help prevent water collecting in deep dishes etc. Ensure, however, that the basket can be inserted smoothly into the cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket before loading it.
^ Pull out the upper basket.
Depending on the setting of the upper basket, the following plate dimensions can be accommodated.

Cutlery tray (depending on model)
^ Arrange the cutlery in the tray as shown.
To make unloading much easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc.
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.
The upper spray arm must not be blocked by items which are too big
(e.g. cake slices).
If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, then lay them the other way round.
28
Cutlery basket (depending on model)
Loading the dishwasher
^ To avoid the risk of injury, knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket.
However, cutlery placed handle down in the basket will come out cleaner and drier.
^ Place small spoons in the individual slots to either side of the cutlery basket.
^ Fit it into the cutlery basket if required.
Cutlery insert for the cutlery basket
Use the insert supplied for heavily soiled spoons.
The insert separates the items so that they can be more easily accessed by water.
^ Insert cutlery with the handles facing downwards, and distribute them evenly along the insert.
29
Operation
Detergent
,
Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Active ingredients
Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are:
– Phosphates to prevent calcification.
– Alkalis to aid removal of dried on soiling.
– Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein.
– Oxygen based bleaching agents to remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents contain phosphates and are mildly alkaline with enzymes and oxygen based bleaching agents. Phosphate free products are rare.
Types of detergent:
– Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the size of load and level of soiling.
– Tab detergents. These are suitable for most levels of soiling.
Miele branded dishwasher powder and tabs are available from the Miele
Spare Parts Department or via the
Internet, depending on country.
A variety of combination products is also available (see section "Additional functions, Combi-tab", depending on model).
In addition to detergent, combi tabs contain rinse aid and salt substitutes.
Combi tabs are available as "3 in 1" or, when they also contain other components such as glass and stainless steel protective additives and enhanced cleaning power, as "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc.
Refer to the manufacturer's packaging as to whether the combi tabs are suitable for the water hardness level in your area.
Please note that the cleaning and drying results of tab detergents can vary greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying results use Miele dishwasher detergent and add Miele salt and
Miele rinse aid separately.
Under certain circumstances unsatisfactory washing and drying results might be noticed when using combination dishwasher detergents.
These products contain a combination of detergent and rinse aid or detergent and salt (2 in 1) or detergent, rinse aid and salt (3 in 1). Drying results might not be as good as expected or residues or flecks might be left on crockery. If results are still unsatisfactory, even after seeking advice from the detergent manufacturer, we suggest that you change to a different product or use a traditional dishwasher detergent.
30
Dispensing
^ Follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
^ Unless directed otherwise, use one detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml detergent in 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 "Programme chart").
^ Do not use tabs with the "Quick" programme, as they will not dissolve properly.
Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.
Operation
,
Avoid inhalation of powder detergents and do not ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.
Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
Keep detergent and other household agents out of the reach of children at all times. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. To avoid the danger of children coming into contact with the dishwasher detergent, only add detergent just before starting the programme and close the door, activating the child safety lock (if your dishwasher is fitted with one).
31
Operation
Adding detergent
^ Press the opening catch on the detergent dispenser. The flap will spring open.
The flap is always open at the end of a programme.
^ Make sure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use to avoid it getting damp and becoming lumpy.
For information
Compartment I holds max. 10 ml,
Compartment II holds max. 50 ml.
There are markings in compartment II to assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or
30 ml when the door is open in a horizontal position.
^ Add the required amount of detergent and close the flap.
32
Operation
Switching on
^ Open the stopcock, if it is closed.
^ Open the door.
^ Make sure the spray arms are not obstructed.
^ Switch the dishwasher on using the
On button
U.
The On indicator light U comes on.
Selecting a programme
Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is.
The different programmes and their uses are described in the programme chart later on in this booklet.
Starting a programme
^ Select the programme required with the programme selector button
;?.
The indicator light next to the selected programme will come on.
^ Close the door.
The programme will begin.
A programme can only be cancelled in the first few minutes. Otherwise the programme must continue to the end so that important programme stages (e.g. reactivating the water softener) are not omitted.
33
Operation
At the end of a programme
^ Open the door slightly to check that the programme has finished.
The indicator light next to the programme selected switches off once the programme has finished.
If the programme indicator light is still on, the programme has not yet finished. Close the door again to allow the programme to finish.
You can then empty the dishwasher.
,
To prevent the risk of steam damage to the worktop edging above the dishwasher, it is advisable to leave the door closed until you are ready to unload the crockery. Alternatively you can open the door fully until the crockery is cool enough to unload. Do not leave the door only partially open.
Switching off
At the end of a programme:
^ Open the door.
^ Switch the dishwasher off using the
Off button V.
The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until it is switched off with the Off button V.
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e. g.
whilst on holiday, the stopcock 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.
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
(depending on model).
This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and cutlery tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
34
Operation
Interrupting a programme
A programme is interrupted as soon as the door is opened.
If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened.
,
Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding.
Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so.
Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle. Then close the door firmly making sure that it clicks into place.

Cleaning and care
Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided.
,
The outer surfaces of the dishwasher are susceptible to scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the outer surfaces.
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 limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet, these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner* or conditioner*.
Cleaning the door and the door seal
^ Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits.
^ When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door.
These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any soiling should be wiped off these surfaces before the door is closed.
38
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the control panel and door front
,
Remove any soiling immediately.
If not, it might become impossible to remove and could cause the outer surface to alter or discolour.
^ The control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
^ Clean the front using a damp cloth or a sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid. Then dry with a soft cloth.
To avoid damaging the outer surface, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing descaling agents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive sponges and brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
– sharp metal scrapers.
39
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it accessing the circulation system and re-entering the cabinet through the spray arms.
,
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.
Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary.
^ Switch the dishwasher off.
^ Turn the handle anti-clockwise to release the filter combination a.
^ Lift the filter combination out of the dishwasher b. Remove any coarse particles and rinse the filter well under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.
40
Cleaning and care
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened:
^ Press catches a together in the direction of the arrows as shown, and open the filter b.
^ Rinse all the filters under running water.
^ Then close the flap so that the catch engages.
^ Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.
^ Then turn the handle clockwise to lock the filter combination in place.
,
Take care when you are fitting the filter combination that it is secured in position correctly.
Otherwise coarse soil could get into the circulation system and cause a blockage.
41
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 inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every
4 - 6 months).
^ Switch the dishwasher off.
Remove the spray arms as follows:
^ Take out the cutlery tray (if your dishwasher is fitted with one).
^ Push 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.
^ Push the middle spray arms upwards a to engage the ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm b.
^ 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.

Maintenance
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw connection of the valve on the water inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned when dirty, otherwise insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet.
,
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. It must not be dipped in water.
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large amount 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 Parts dept.
Cleaning the filter:
^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug.
^ Close the stopcock.
^ Unscrew the inlet hose.
^ Carefully remove the seal.
^ Withdraw the filter using pointed pliers and rinse clean under running water.
^ Replace the filter and seal, making sure they are sitting correctly.
^ Reconnect the inlet hose to the stopcock, making sure it goes on correctly and is not cross-threaded.
^ Turn on the stopcock gradually to test for leaks. If there is a leak, the inlet hose might not be on securely, or it may have been screwed on at an angle. Unscrew and reconnect the water inlet valve correctly.
51
Maintenance
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 in the wash cabinet").
^ Scoop the water out of the cabinet using a suitable container or utensil.
The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow).
^ Remove all foreign 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. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.
^ Carefully replace the non-return valve and secure it with the catch.
,
Ensure that the catch engages correctly.
^ Press the catch for the non-return valve inwards a.
^ Lift out the non-return valve b, and rinse well under running water.
^ Remove all foreign objects from the non-return valve.

Please follow the installation instructions carefully.
All electrical work should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.
Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance while installation work is being carried out.
This dishwasher is supplied with a mains cable and moulded plug ready for connection to an a.c. single phase supply, (230 V 50 Hz for NZ and
Australia) via a fused plug and suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation.
^ The voltage, rated load and fuse rating are given on the data plate located above the door. Please ensure that these match the household mains supply.
For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA.
^ Do not connect via an extension lead.
,
If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a complete connection box and cable by a Miele approved service technician only.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green/yellow = earth
Blue
Brown
= neutral
= live
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance do not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows:
^ The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol z or coloured green, or green and yellow.
^ The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
^ The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter A (AUSTRALIA).

Plumbing
The Miele waterproof anti-leak system
Providing your dishwasher has been installed correctly, the Miele waterproof anti-leak system will protect you from water damage throughout its lifetime.
Connection to the water supply
,
Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water.
– The dishwasher may be connected to a cold or hot water supply, max.
60 °C. We would only recommend connection to a hot water supply if it is economical, e.g. a solar powered supply. When connected to a hot water supply all programme stages which would otherwise be carried out with cold water will be carried out with hot water.
,
A warm water connection with temperatures exceeding 60 °C may cause damage to the unit and affect the product guarantee.
– The dishwasher is constructed to comply with Australian regulations, and may be connected to a suitable supply without an extra non-return valve if national regulations allow this.
– 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 too high, a pressure reducer valve must be fitted.
,
To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only be connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
A 1.5 metre long flexible metal extension hose, pressure tested to
14,000 kPa/ 140 bar, is available as an optional accessory if required.
– A stopcock with a 3 /
4
" male thread must be provided on site.
61
Plumbing
!
The inlet hose must not be shortened or damaged in any way as it contains electrical components
(see illustration).
This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with
AS/NZS 3500.1.2. No further backflow protection required for connection to the water supply.
62
Plumbing
Drainage
– The appliance drainage system is fitted with a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose.
– The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
– The drain 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 must not exceed 1 m.
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to the drainage outlet on site, use the hose clip supplied (see installation diagram).
– The hose can be directed to the left or the right of the appliance.
– The on-site connector for the drain hose can be adapted to different widths of hose. If the connector protrudes too far into the drain hose, it will need to be shortened.
Otherwise the drain hose may become blocked.
– The drain hose must not be shortened.
,
Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose, and that it is not squashed or stretched.
Venting the drainage system
If the on-site drain connection is situated lower than the guide path for the bottom basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the appliance to empty itself of water.
To vent it:
^ Open the dishwasher door fully.
^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove it.
^ Cut off the top of the vent valve in the wash cabinet.
