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 not designed for commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments.

~

The dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use.

~

It must only be used as a domestic appliance as specified in these operating instructions, for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery.

Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

~

The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

7


Safety with children

~

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appliance unless they are constantly supervised.

~

Children 8 years and older may only use the dishwasher if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

~

~

Keep very young children away from it at all times and supervise them whilst you are using it. To prevent the risk of injury, do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. There is a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

~

Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.

Seek medical attention immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent.

8


Technical safety

~

Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. It 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 is 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 and any adjustment has been made to the door springs.

9


~

Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

~

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed 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 adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

~

The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.

on a ship).

~

Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

10


~

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

~

There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.

~

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

– The 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 dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains and call your Miele Dealer or the Miele Service Department.

11


~

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, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee.

~

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the safety standards of the appliance.

~

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 special cable available from Miele. For safety reasons this must only be fitted by Miele Service or a Miele approved service technician.

~

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.

12


Correct installation

~

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with the diagram supplied.

~

Take care, both before and during installation of the dishwasher, not to cut yourself on the metal parts. Danger of injury. Wear protective gloves.

~

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.

~

The door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left open at 45°. It is important that the door is held in place by the springs and cannot fall open.

13


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. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

~

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

~

Dishes can be very hot at the end of the programme.

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

~

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.

14


~

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

This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.

~

Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent. This will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!

~

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

~

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.

15


Accessories

~

Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with this dishwasher. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers 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.

16

Caring for our environment

Disposal of the packing material

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

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 it with your household waste.

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

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

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

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

17

Caring for our environment

Energy saving dishwashing

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 water supply is suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply for further economies. If the water is heated by solar panels, for example, this would be energy efficient.

However, if your water is heated by electricity 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 ECO programme for energy-saving dishwashing.

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

^ Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations on detergent dosage.

^ When using powder or liquid detergent you can use 1 /

3 less detergent if baskets are only half full.

18

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.

19


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 in this dishwasher is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l

(70 °d - German scale).

– The water softener requires dishwasher salt.

Depending on the water hardness level ( ß 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d German scale), dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see "Detergent").

– 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 6.7 - 9.0 mmol/l

(37 - 50 °d - German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (9.0 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: mmol/l or °d

The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 2.7 mmol/l (15 °d - German scale).

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.

20


Programming the water hardness level

^ Switch the dishwasher off with the

On/Off button K, if it is switched on.

^ Press and hold the programme selector button

X.

^ Switch the dishwasher on using the

On/Off button K, and hold the programme selector button X in until the lower right hand programme indicator lights up.

If this does not happen, start the procedure again from the beginning.

^ Press the Turbo button twice.

The Turbo indicator will flash briefly twice at intervals.

The characters " p 1 5" will flash one after the other in the display.

This means that the water hardness level has been set at 15 °d - German scale (2.7 mmol/l) (factory setting).

^ Using the programme selector button

X, select the value which equates to your water hardness level.

Each press on the button moves you up a level. When the highest water hardness value is reached, the setting starts from the beginning again.

^ Switch the dishwasher off using the

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.

* See "Optional accessories"

Filling the salt reservoir

If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than

0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale), you do not need to add dishwasher salt. The water softener must, however, still be programmed to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.

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.

,

Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent. This will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!

,

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

22


^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed. It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir.

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

^ 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.

^ After filling the the salt reservoir, run the "Sensor wash gentle

!" programme with the "Turbo" function selected immediately without any crockery in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

Salt refill indicator F

^ Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt when the salt refill indicator 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 refill indicator may still be illuminated during this process. It will go out once the salt concentration has reached the correct level.

The salt refill indicator will not come on if the dishwasher has been programmed for a water hardness level of less than 0.7 mmol/l (4°d German scale).

,

After filling the the salt reservoir, run the "Sensor wash gentle !" programme with the "Turbo" function selected immediately without any crockery in the dishwasher to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

23


Switching off the refill indicators

If you only ever use combination products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can disable both of these indicators if you wish.


On/Off button K.

^ Press the programme selector button

X in, and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on with the On/Off button

K.

Keep the programme selector button

X pressed in until the lower right hand programme indicator comes on.


^ Press the Turbo button 9 times.

The Turbo indicator will flash briefly nine times at intervals.

The characters flashing in the display will show whether the refill indicators are switched on or off.

– " p 1": the refill indicators are switched on.

– " p 0": the refill indicators are switched off.

^ If you want to change the setting, press the programme selector button

X.

The setting is now stored in memory.


On/Off button K.

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

24


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 will always cause serious damage to the reservoir.

Adding rinse aid

Alternatively, it is possible to use

– Household vinegar with a max. 5% acid content or

– Liquid citric acid with up to 10% acid content.

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

,

Do not use vinegar with a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar essence containing 25% acid). This would damage the dishwasher.

^ Press the button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir in the direction of the arrow. The flap will spring open.

If you only ever use combination products containing rinse aid in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid.

25


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.

If you only ever use combination products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can switch both of the indicators off if you wish (see "Before using for the first time - Switching off the refill indicators").

^ 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.

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

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

26


Setting the rinse aid dosage

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 the Adust Sensor wash function has been activated, the amount of rinse aid dispensed in the Sensor wash programme can be higher than that set.

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.


On/Off button

K.


X in, and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on with the On/Off button K.




^ Press the Turbo button three times.

The Turbo indicator will flash briefly three times at intervals.

p 3 will flash in the display.

This means that the rinse aid dosage has been set to 3 ml at the factory.

The dosage set will show in the display after the p.

^ Use the programme selector button

X to select the rinse aid dosage you want.

The dosage amount alters each time you press the button.

The programmed rinse aid dosage is now stored in memory.

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.

These substances will damage 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.

28


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.

– If in doubt, wash 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.

29


Upper basket

,

For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place.

Cup rack (depending on model)

^ To make room for tall items, raise the rack upwards.

Glasses can be arranged along the cup rack to give them support during the programme.

^ Lower the cup rack and lean the glasses against it.

^ 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.

30


Adjusting the upper basket

In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the lower 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 being left in deep dishes etc. Ensure, however, that the basket can slide smoothly in and out of 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.

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

Glasses, cups and small items such as saucers can also be placed in the lower basket.

Do not place thin, delicate glassware in the lower basket.

Heavily soiled items

Dishwashers with cutlery tray

^ Place large platters and dishes in the centre of the lower basket.

When tilted, plates up to 35 cm in diameter can be accommodated.

Dishwashers with cutlery basket

32

Cutlery

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.

33


Cutlery basket (depending on model)

The cutlery basket can be placed anywhere on the front rows of spikes in the lower basket.

^ 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 items of cutlery in the individual slots on three sides of the cutlery basket.

^ Fit it onto the cutlery basket if required.

Cutlery insert for the cutlery basket

Use the insert supplied for heavily soiled items of cutlery.

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.

34

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 amount of load and level of soiling.

– Tab detergents. These are suitable for most levels of soiling.

You can also buy combination products

(see "Additional functions,

DetergentAgent", if applicable).

In addition to detergent, these products contain rinse aid and salt substitutes.

They 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 "5 in 1", "7 in 1" ,

"All in 1", etc.

Refer to the manufacturer's packaging as to whether combination products are suitable for the water hardness level in your area.

Please note that the cleaning and drying results of combination detergents can vary greatly.

For optimum cleaning and drying results, use Miele dishwasher detergent and add Miele salt and

Miele rinse aid separately. See

"Optional accessories".

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 to compartment II, depending on the level of soiling.

With very heavy soiling you can also add a small amount of detergent to compartment l (see "Programme chart").

^ Tabs may not dissolve completely when the Quick wash 40°C programme (depending on model) is used.

35

Operation

Adding detergent

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

,

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. Seek medical attention 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).

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

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

^ Add the required amount of detergent and close the flap.

^ Make sure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use to avoid it getting damp and becoming lumpy.

36

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.

37

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 with the

On/Off button

K.

The On/Off indicator light K and one of the programme indicator lights will come on.

Starting the programme

^ Start the programme by closing the door.

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.

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.

^ Select the programme required with the programme selector button

X.

The indicator light for the programme selected will come on.

The programme duration will appear in hours and minutes in the display.

You can now select additional functions (see "Additional functions").

If any additional functions are selected, the appropriate indicator lights will also light up.

38

Operation

Time display

The duration of the programme selected appears in hours and minutes in the display before the programme begins. During the programme, the time left until the end of the programme is displayed.

The time displayed may vary with the same programme. This can be due, among other factors, to the water temperature at each intake, the reactivation process, the type of detergent, the amount of crockery and how dirty it is.

When a programme is selected for the first time, the display shows an average time for a cold water intake.

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

Each time a programme is run, the electronic unit takes the new conditions into account, and calculates the time required.

Standby

To save energy, the dishwasher will switch to Standby mode a few minutes after the last time a button has been pressed or a few minutes after the end of the programme. The indicator lights and the time display will go out and only the On/Off indicator light

K will flash slowly.

^ Press the On/Off button K to switch the display and indicators back on again.

If the dishwasher is not switched off at the end of the programme, it will switch off completely after a few minutes in

Standby mode (see "Additional functions, Optimise standby").

The dishwasher will not switch into

Standby mode whilst a programme is running, if salt or rinse aid needs to be replenished or there is a fault.

If you only use combination products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can switch the refill indicators off so that the dishwasher will go into Standby despite a lack of salt or rinse aid

(see "Before using for the first time").

You cannot switch off fault indicators.

39

Operation

At the end of the programme

^ Open the door slightly to check that the programme has finished.

0 appears in the time display when the programme has finished.

If the programme indicator light is still flashing, the programme has not yet finished. Close the door again to allow the programme to finish.

You can now 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.


On/Off button K.

The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until it is switched off with the On/Off button K.

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.

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 finally the 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.

40

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 after a few seconds 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.

Changing a programme

If the detergent dispenser flap has already opened, do not change the programme.

If a programme has already started and you wish to change it, proceed as follows:

^ Open the door.


On/Off button K.

^ Switch the dishwasher on again with the On/Off button

Cleaning and care

Check your dishwasher regularly

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

,

The external surfaces of the dishwasher 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, however, there are limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet, these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner* or conditioner*.

Follow the instructions on the packaging.

If you mainly use low temperature programmes (below 50 °C), bacteria and unpleasant odours can build in the wash cabinet. To clean the wash cabinet and prevent unpleasant odours building up, run the Pots & Pans 75°C programme once a month.

Make sure that you also clean the filters in the wash cabinet regularly.

Cleaning the door and the door seal

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

^ Wipe off any food or drink residues which may have dripped onto the sides of dishwasher door before closing it.

If this is not done, mould could build up on these surfaces as they are outside the wash cabinet and so not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets.

49


Cleaning the control panel and door front

,

Remove any soiling immediately.

If this is not done, it might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour.

^ The control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth.

^ Clean the front using a damp Miele microfibre E-cloth*, or with a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid. Then dry with a soft cloth.

To avoid damaging the external surfaces, 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,

– melamine eraser blocks,

– sharp metal scrapers,

– steam cleaning appliances.

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.

,

This 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.

,

Make sure that when cleaning the filters, no coarse soil falls into the circulation system, causing a blockage.

51


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.

52


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 arm 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.

62

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 - Checking 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.

Be very careful not to damage sensitive components when cleaning the drain pump and the non-return valve.

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 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.

After connecting the dishwasher to the water supply, check that all plumbing connections are watertight.

,

To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only be connected to a fully vented plumbing system.

– 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.

– 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.

– This appliance is constructed to comply with IEC/EN/DIN 61770 //

VDE 0700 Section 600, and may be connected to a suitable supply without an extra non-return valve if national regulations permit.

!

The inlet hose must not be shortened or damaged in any way as it contains electrical components

(see illustration).

71

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.

After connecting the dishwasher to the drainage system, check that all plumbing connections are watertight.

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.
