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 for future reference, and pass them on to any future user.

Correct usage

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.

Transport

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, mains cable, cutlery baskets, lower basket

– Transport the dishwasher in the upright position only.

Delivery

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.

Please ensure that the packaging material is offered for recycling.

Installation

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

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.

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

8


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.

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.

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 the appliance and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is 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).

This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

A damaged appliance could be dangerous. Switch off at the mains and call your Miele supplier or the Miele

Service Department.

The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing must therefore 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.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Use

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

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent! Dishwasher detergents 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.

9


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.

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.

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.

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 dispensed.

Do not use liquid detergent when selecting Delay start, as it can run into the dishwasher before it is required.

Safety with children

This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow children to play in or around the dishwasher, or to operate it. There is also a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents 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.

To avoid damage to the appliance and other materials

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.

Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!

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

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 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.

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 caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Repairs and maintenance

Repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent technicians in accordance with current local and national safety requirements.

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

Always disconnect the appliance 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.

Disposal of your old appliance

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 by unscrewing the Torx screw, 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!

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that 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.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and

Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

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:

^ 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.

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

Select "Without heater" when washing lightly to normally soiled dishes.

However, because the water is not heated in this programme, drying results may not match those of other programmes.

^ 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

15


Before using the appliance for the first time you require:

– approx. 1 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.

This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener sensor which automatically sets the water softener unit for the local water hardness level.

External water softening system

If your dishwasher is connected to an external water softening system which uses salt to reactivate, you will still need to programme the dishwasher to the correct water hardness level to achieve good cleaning results.

^ Set the water softener unit of the dishwasher to the water hardness level of the water which is supplied from the external water softening system.

If you do not know what this is, then set the value at 1.4 mmol/l (8 °d) (see

"Settings menu J, External water softener").

Filling the salt reservoir

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 softener unit.

The softener unit is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l

(70 °d). It requires dishwasher salt.

If you use "3 in 1" tabs in your dishwasher you should still add salt in order to achieve optimum results.

The amount of salt used is reduced to between

1

/

4 and

1

/

3 of the normal amount if the "3 in 1" detergent type is selected.

16


You can check the water hardness level measured by the water softener sensor in the display (see "Settings menu J,

Water hardness").

^ When filling the salt reservoir only open the door half-way to ensure that all the salt gets into the reservoir.

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

0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need to add dishwasher salt . The

"Insufficient salt" message will appear the first time you switch the dishwasher on. It will go out automatically once the sensor has detected that the water is softer than

0.7 mmol/l.

,

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!

^ Press the button on the lid of the salt reservoir in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

,

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.

^ Lift up the funnel.

17


Do not fill the salt reservoir with water.

^ Add salt only until the reservoir is full or until water runs out of the opening.

The salt reservoir holds approx. 1 kg of salt depending on the brand used.

Do not add any more than 1 kg of salt.

"Insufficient salt" message

^ Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for reactivation when the

Insufficient salt message appears.

(If it appears during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).

^ Confirm with OK .

The "Insufficient salt" message will go out.

After the salt reservoir has been filled, the "Insufficient salt" message may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level.

If this is the case, confirm again with

OK .

,

After filling the salt reservoir, run the Quick wash programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.

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

^ Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then close the flap.

^ Run the Quick wash programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt water from the cabinet.

18


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 50% 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.

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.

If you only ever use "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" products in your dishwasher you do not need to add rinse aid.

19


Rinse aid low message

When the Rinse aid low message appears, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only.

^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

If the "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" Tab function has been selected, the "Rinse aid low" message will not appear (see

"Settings menu J, Detergent type").

^ Confirm with OK .

The Rinse aid low message will go out.

^ 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 would enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme.

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

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results (see "Settings menu J, Rinse aid").

20

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 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.

21


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 rubbing 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.

22

Upper basket

,

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

(except when using the Tall items

45 °C and Tall items 65 °C programmes).

This support is designed to hold tall glasses and glasses with stems securely.


^ Lower the rail and lean tall glasses against it.

^ You can also remove a section of the cutlery tray to make more room for tall glasses.

25


Multi-function basket

This basket can be used for washing baby bottles, saucers and small items.

^ Remove the spiked insert from the right-hand side of the upper basket.

^ Then place the multi-function basket in its place.

^ When washing baby bottles place the teats in the small round holders as shown a.

^ To secure a bottle, open one of the small round flaps as shown b and place the neck of the bottle into the hole.

^ Position small items, such as bottle caps and sealing rings in the spaces in between.

You can also use this basket to wash other kinds of small items.

^ Close the flaps when washing saucers and small plates.

26


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 slide smoothly into the cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket before loading it.

The bottle holder can be used to wash narrow items, e.g. milk and baby bottles.

^ Press the insert downwards a and the catch inwards b at the same time.

^ Place the bottle holder as shown in the bottom basket. If placed anywhere else, water will not be able to access the bottle properly, and cleaning results will be impaired.

30

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).

The cutlery tray inserts are removable.

For example, you can remove one insert to make room for larger items of crockery in the upper basket.

If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, place them the other way round.

31


Cutlery basket (depending on model)

^ 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.

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.

^ Fit it into the cutlery basket if required.

^ Insert cutlery with the handles facing downwards, and distribute them evenly along the insert.

32

Operation

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.

Refer to the dosing instructions given by the manufacturer on the packaging.

^ Put the detergent into the dispenser compartment.

^ Do not use tablet detergent on the

"Quick" programme, as the tablets will not dissolve properly.

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 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).

33

Operation

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 is partly because of the water inlet temperature at each intake, and partly because of the amount and soiling level of the crockery.

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.

37

Operation

At the end of a programme

Programme finished will appear in the display when the programme has finished.

The dishwasher can now be opened and unloaded (see "Unloading 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.

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.

Switching off

At the end of a programme:

^ Switch the dishwasher off with the

On/Off sensor pad s.

The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until the On/Off sensor pad s is switched off.

If the dishwasher is not to be used for a longer period of time, e. g. whilst on holiday, the stopcock should be turned off.

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.

Cleaning the door front

,

Do not use any cleaning agents containing ammonia or thinners.

These would damage the surface structure.

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, such as the Miele dishwasher cleaner (available from the

Miele UK Spare Parts Department).

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 residue 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.

^ Clean the front using a Miele E-cloth or with suitable cleaning agent for the type of material the front is made of.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

^ Door fronts made from wood should only be cleaned using a damp cloth, and then dried with a soft cloth.

^ Door fronts made of stainless steel should be cleaned using a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid, or a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.

^ To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel, such as Neoblank

(available from the Miele UK Spare

Parts Department) can also be used.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label and apply sparingly with an even pressure following the direction of the grain.

E-Cloth

^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts

Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals.

42


Cleaning the control panel

,

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

Plastic panels:

^ This type of control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth or suitable cleaning agent designed for use on plastic.

Stainless steel panels:

^ Control panels made of stainless steel should be cleaned using a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid, or a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel (do not use it on the controls).

^ To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel, such as Neoblank

(available from the Miele UK Spare

Parts Department) can also be used.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label and apply sparingly with an even pressure following the direction of the grain.

Aluminium panels:

^ Clean aluminium panels with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.

Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from.

,

Stainless steel and aluminium surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratching and abrasion, and must be treated with due care. They may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long.

Remove soiling immediately.

43


Checking 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.

Cleaning the filters

^ Switch the dishwasher off.

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.

The message Check filters will appear in the display after every 40 programme cycles (factory default setting).

56

Problem solving

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 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 Parts dept.

Cleaning the filter:

^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug.

^ Turn off 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.

57

Problem solving

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.

^ 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.

^ 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.

Plumbing

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.

– The "Without heater" programme (if available) requires a hot water supply of between 45 °C (minimum) and 60 °C (maximum).

The higher the water intake temperature, the better the cleaning and drying results.

– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.

A 1.5 metre long flexible metal extension hose, pressure tested to

14000 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 water pressure (flow pressure at the take-off point) must be between

30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar).

If the water pressure is lower than this, the water inlet fault message will appear in the display (see "Problem solving guide").

If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted.

!

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

(see illustration).

66

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.

– 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.

Select the "3 in 1" function if you always use "3 in 1" tabs (detergent containing rinse aid and salt substitutes) or "4 in 1" tabs (detergent containing rinse aid, salt substitutes and a glass protection agent). The programme sequence will be adjusted and rinse aid will not be dispensed in the programme. The

"Rinse aid low" message is also deactivated.

When using 3 in 1 tabs you must still keep the salt reservoir replenished. See

"Filling the salt reservoir". Salt consumption in the water softener is reduced to between 1 /

4 and 1 /

3 of the normal amount.

Do not select the "3 in 1" function if:

– using "2 in 1" tabs (detergent with rinse aid)

– your water hardness level is above

3.8 mmol/l or 21 °d.

Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

Normal:

This is the factory default setting.

"Normal" detergents do not contain added salt or rinse aid. When using

"normal" detergent, you must add salt and rinse aid (see "Filling the salt reservoir" and "Adding rinse aid"). The rinse aid refill reminder is active with this setting.

The washing and drying performance of these types of detergent can vary enormously.

2 in 1:

Select the "2 in 1" function if you always use 2 in 1 tabs (detergent containing rinse aid). The programme sequence will be adjusted and rinse aid will not be dispensed in the programme. The

"Rinse aid low" message is also deactivated.

Liquid detergent:

When using liquid detergent you must still add salt and rinse aid (see "Filling the salt reservoir" and "Adding rinse aid"). The rinse aid refill reminder is active with this setting.

Water hardness

Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener sensor which determines the water hardness level of your local water supply automatically.

After your dishwasher has been through one programme cycle (e.g.

Pre-wash), you can call up the water hardness level measured by the water softener sensor via the "Water hardness" option.

^ OK will return you to the "Settings menu J".
