IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING –

When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before installation or use of the dishwasher to prevent injury and machine damage.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by improper use of this appliance.

Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose. This appliance is intended for residential use only.

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

Electrical Safety

Before installation, make sure that the voltage and frequency listed on the data plate correspond with the household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent injury and machine damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Before installation or service, disconnect the power supply to the work area by unplugging the unit,

"tripping" the circuit breaker or removing the fuse.

Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy, of an effective grounding system.


Installation

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

Installation and repair work should be performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.

Do not install or use a damaged dishwasher. A damaged appliance is dangerous. Unplug the machine and call your Miele dealer or the Miele

Technical Service Department.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.

Danger of suffocation!

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for an installation in these applications.

Please contact the nearest Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service

Department with specific requirements.

It is recommended that the dishwasher only be connected to the mains with the plug (no hard-wiring). The outlet must be accessible at all times after installation to disconnect the dishwasher.

, WARNING - Fire hazard

Do not cover or crush the plug of the appliance. Ensure that the cabinet opening for the dishwasher provides ample space for the plug. Installing the dishwasher in a tight space may crimp the power cord or put pressure on the plug which could cause overheating.

This dishwasher should only be installed under a continuous counter top secured to adjacent cabinetry.

Do not install this dishwasher beneath a cooking surface, oven or any appliance that radiates heat.

High temperatures from these units may damage the dishwasher.

When installing the dishwasher under a counter top and removing the toekick, a build-under toekick must be installed. Use the respective installation kit. Danger of injuries.

Use

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in, on or near the dishwasher.

Only use the dishwasher if all panels are properly in place.

Do not tamper with the controls.

Do not damage, sit or stand on the door or baskets of the dishwasher.

Close the door when not in use.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN

GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes before using the dishwasher.

This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Be sure that all items placed in the dishwasher are "dishwasher safe".

For items not labeled, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

When loading tableware, place sharp items away from the door to prevent damage to the seal. Load sharp items pointing downwards to prevent injuries.

Only use detergents and rinse aids recommended for residential dishwashers. Keep all detergents and rinse aids out of the reach of children.

Do not inhale or swallow detergents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant and corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

Do not drink water from the dishwasher! Harmful residues could be present.

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir or salt container with detergent. It will destroy the rinse aid compartment and water softener.

If the power cord is damaged it must only be replaced by a Miele

Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord.

Disposal of an appliance

If the appliance is removed from its installation site and will not be used, remove the doorlock to the wash cabinet to prevent children from locking themselves in the machine.

Caring for the environment

Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity. For best results follow these tips:

^ For lowest energy consumption and the gentlest washing of china and crystal, connect the dishwasher to a cold water source.

^ For fastest possible wash times, yet higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source.

^ If the dishwasher is connected to hot water, select "Energy Saver" when washing light to normally soiled dishware. The water will not be heated, therefore the dishes may be more wet at the end of this program than when using other programs.

^ Make full use of the baskets without overloading for the most economical washing.

^ Use the correct amount of detergent and rinse aid.

^ When using powder or gel detergent reduce the amount to 2 /

3 when washing a small load.

^ Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.

^ For small loads select "Short".

Water softener

Every dishwasher is tested before leaving the factory. Any water remaining in the machine is from the final factory test and does not indicate that the machine has been used.

Checking the water hardness

The water hardness measured by the sensor can be displayed.

See "Settings J - Water hardness".

To achieve good cleaning results the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard water results in calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher.

If your tap water hardness is above 4°d

(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be softened. This takes place automatically in the unit’s integrated water softener.

The water softener sets automatically to the local water hardness.

External water softener

If the dishwasher is connected to an external water softener unit which is regenerated with salt, the water hadness must still be set in the dishwasher.

^ Set the dishwasher to the water hardness of the external water softener. If you don't know the value, set the dishwasher water hardness to

8°d (8 gr/gal [US]). See Settings J ,

External water softener.

If the hardness of your local water supply is constantly lower than 4°d

(4 gr/gal [US]), you do not need to add water softener salt .

The message to refill salt will turn off automatically.

For best results use salt when using

3 in 1 tabs (these tabs contain detergent, rinse aid and water softener salt). When selecting the "3 in 1" detergent setting, the salt dosage is reduced to

1

/

3

-

1

/

4 of the normal amount.

13


Filling the salt container

,

Inadvertently filling the salt container with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener.

,

Only use water softener salt specially formulated for dishwashers. Other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener.

^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt container lid.

When opening the salt container water will run out. Open the container only to refill salt.

Important: The salt container must be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water before adding salt for the first time . Water does not have to be added with subsequent refills.

^ Place the provided funnel over the salt container. Carefully fill with salt.

The salt container holds approx.

4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it is filled, water will run out.

^ Clean any excess salt from the threads of the container opening.

Screw the lid on firmly.

^ If the dishwasher will not be used immediately, run the "Short" program.

This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.

14


Salt refill message

^ When the display shows k Refill salt , refill the salt container after the program has finished.

^ Confirm with OK.

The message will clear from the display.

After the container has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is started. The Refill salt message will show again during this process. Confirm again with OK.

15


Rinse aid

Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware.

The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir and the set amount will be automatically dispensed.

,

Filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir.

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

Adding rinse aid

When using "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" detergents rinse aid is not needed.

"2 in 1" detergents contain detergent and rinse aid. "3 in 1" detergents contain detergent, rinse aid and water softener salt.

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

16


Rinse aid indicator

When the Refill rinse aid message first comes on, there will be enough rinse aid left for 2 - 3 washes.

^ The rinse aid indicator on the control panel will light when the rinse aid reservoir needs refilling.

^ Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir until it its visible on the surface of the screen.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.

3.7 oz (110 ml) of liquid.

^ Press on the flap until you hear it click shut. Failure to close it all the way allows water to enter the reservoir during the wash program.

^ Clean any spilled rinse aid. The flap will remain closed during normal operation.

To optimize the wash result, the rinse aid dosage can be adjusted. See

"Settings J - Rinse aid".

If the "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" function is selected, the Refill rinse aid will not come on.

See "Settings J - Detergent".

^ Confirm with OK .

The indicator light will go out.

17

Loading the dishwasher

,

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

Ash and sand do not dissolve and will be distributed throughout the inside of the dishwasher.

Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration and damage to the dishwasher.

^ Scrape food from dishes before placing them in the dishwasher, rinsing is not necessary.

^ Some foods contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items may discolor permanently if they come in contact with food dyes.

^ All items can be placed anywhere in the baskets.

^ Load dishes so that water can reach all surfaces. Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces.

^ Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

^ Hollow items such as cups and glasses should be placed upside down in the baskets.

^ To ensure good water coverage, tall, narrow and hollow items, i.e. vases or champagne glasses, should be placed in the center of the basket rather than in the corners.

^ Concave based items such as mugs or bowls, should be placed at an angle so that water does not pool.

^ The spray arms must not be blocked by items that are too tall or hang through the baskets. Check clearance by manually rotating the spray arms.

^ Place very small items in the cutlery tray or basket so they do not fall to the bottom of the wash cabinet.

^ Food residue and spilled liquids should be cleaned from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms.

– If left to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish and marinades.

– Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel.

Leave space between these metals.

– Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease filters, with domestic dishwasher detergent only.

19


Split cutlery tray

^ Arrange the cutlery as shown in the cutlery tray.

For easier unloading cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc.

Place knives with the cutting edge and forks with the prongs between the holders. Spoons should be placed in the opposite direction with the handles between the holders.

The upper spray arm must not be blocked by tall cutlery items.

The inserts of the cutlery tray can be removed.

Single inserts can be removed to make room for tall items in the upper basket.

Spoons with thick handles may have to be placed as knives and forks with their heads in the holders

20


Upper basket

,

For safety reasons only use the dishwasher with the upper and lower basket inserted.

Exception: The programs "Large items normal" and "Large items soiled" are designed for use without the upper basket.

Removable spike insert

The spike insert can be removed to create more space for larger items, e.g. a saucepan.

^ Load the upper basket with small, lightweight or delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls and flat pans.

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

Removing an insert a :

^ To remove an insert, gently pull up on the handle.

Inserting an insert b :

^ Slide the hitches of the insert under the vertical struts of the lower basket.

^ Push down on the handle to snap the insert into position.

21


Adjustable cup racks

^ Raise the rack to make room for tall glasses. Lower it to double stack smaller pieces.

The height of the cup rack can be adjusted in two levels.

Coffee bar

(depending on model)

Glasses can be leaned against the coffee bar for a secure stand.

^ Pull the cup rack upwards and let it engage at the desired height.

^ The bar can also be used to separate two rows of glasses.

To stack wide items, flip the bar to the right.

22

Glassware rail

(depending on model)

The glassware rail is designed for a secure stand of tall glasses and stemmed glassware.


^ Flip the bar down to lean tall glasses on it.

If necessary take out a part of the cutlery tray to make room for tall glasses.

23


Adjusting the upper basket

The upper basket can be raised or lowered to accommodate tall items.

The basket can also be angled to fit tall items in both, the upper and lower baskets. The angles should not be set to opposite extremes. This will block the middle spray arm. Take care when sliding the basket in and out in this position.

^ Slide out the upper basket.

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

For example: If the upper basket is in its highest position a plate with a diameter of 12 3 /

16

Connection to the water supply

,

Do not drink water from the dishwasher!

– The dishwasher can heat its own water to the temperature required by the wash program. This allows for connection of the machine to either a hot or cold water source. For lowest energy consumption connect the dishwasher to a cold water source.

For fastest possible wash times, with slightly higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source. All programs use hot water in the rinse cycles.

– To use the "Energy Saver" program, a hot water connection of minimum

115°F / 45°C and maximum 140°F /

60°C (water intake temperature) is necessary.

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

– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.

(1.5m) long. A 5 ft. (1.5m) extension hose is available from the Technical

Service Parts Department at the phone number listed on the back of this manual.

– The water inlet hose comes equipped with a 3/4" female hose thread connector. This can be directly connected to a water supply with 3/4" MHT (male hose thread ends).

– Water pressure: Must be between

4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).

If the water pressure is lower, the display shows Water intake see "Frequently asked questions".

,

Do not cut the intake hose. It contains electrical wiring. If the hose is cut, the dishwasher will not work.

There will be a water leak and you could be injured. If the hose is too long, coil it neatly and place it behind the machine.

Plumbing

Drainage

– The machine comes equipped with a built-in non-return valve on the discharge side to prevent waste water from flowing back into the dishwasher.

– The dishwasher is equipped with a

5 ft (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).

– Drain hose extensions and adapters can be ordered from Miele.

The maximum drain hose length is

13 ft. (4 m), max. drain height: 39"

(1 m).

– If the hose is to be directly fitted to the drainage outlet on site, use the supplied hose clip.

– The hose can be installed to the left or right side.

– The existing drain pipe for the drain hose is designed for various hose diameters. The drain pipe must be shortened if the drain pipe extends too far into the drain hose. The drain hose could get clogged.

– The drain hose must not be shortened.

– Make sure the hose is installed without kinking, pressure or being pulled.

Venting the drainage system

If the dishwasher drain hose is connected to a floor drain or to a drain pipe that is less than 8" (20 cm) above the floor, the drain must be vented.

Otherwise the water inside the dishwasher may siphon out during the wash program.

^ Open the dishwasher door and remove the lower basket.

^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove.

^ Cut off the vent cap located at the right rear of the triple filter system, as illustrated.
