This dishwasher is not intended for use by people with reducedphysical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience andknowledge, unless they have been given supervision and instructionconcerning its use by a person responsible for their safety. They mayonly use the dishwasher without supervision if they have beenshown how to use it in a safe manner. They must be able torecognize and understand the possible consequences of incorrectoperation.


7

Safety with children

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

Children aged 8 and older may only use the dishwasher withoutsupervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.Children must be able to understand and recognize the possibledangers caused by incorrect operation.

Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance.

Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.Never allow children to play with the dishwasher. There is a dangerthat children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

If the automatic door opening mechanism is active (depending onthe model), keep young children away from the area in which thedishwasher door opens. There is a danger of injury in the unlikelyevent of a fault with the opening mechanism.

Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may becomeentangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull itover their head, presenting the risk of suffocation. Keep packagingmaterial away from children.

Keep children away from detergents. Detergents cause severeskin burns and severe eye damage. They can cause burning in themouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. It is therefore important tokeep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.Detergent residues could still be present in the machine. Seekmedical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled anydetergents.

Technical safety

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can causeconsiderable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, andrepairs must only be carried out by a qualified technician.

Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Beforeusing the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check itfor any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.

The electrical safety of the dishwasher can only be guaranteedwhen correctly grounded. It is most important that this basic safetyrequirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation shouldbe checked by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequateor lack of grounding system (e.g., electric shock).

Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only beassured if it has been connected to the domestic electricity supply.

If the dishwasher is plugged into the domestic electricity supplyusing a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact (it must not be hard-wired), the electrical socket must be easily accessible after thedishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from thedomestic electricity supply at any time.

There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasherbecause the building-in niche may be too small. Danger ofoverheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed upagainst a plug.

The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. Thehigh temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage thedishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not beinstalled next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat,such as heaters etc., not normally found in a kitchen.


9

Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate(fuse rating, frequency, and voltage) match the domestic electricitysupply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk ofdamage to the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting theappliance to the electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualifiedelectrician.

Do not connect the dishwasher to the domestic electricity supplyuntil it has been fully installed and any adjustments have been madeto the door springs.

The dishwasher may only be operated if the door openingmechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk ofdanger while the automatic door opening mechanism (depending onthe model) is active.To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:

- The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They arecorrectly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left halfopen (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that thedoor cannot fall open.

- The door locking pins automatically retract when the door opensat the end of the drying phase.

Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee therequired safety of the appliance (risk of fire). Do not connect thedishwasher to the domestic electricity supply using a power bar oran extension cord.

The dishwasher 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 offrost. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The reliability ofthe electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures belowfreezing point.

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


10

The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50 and1,000 kPa.

A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwashergets damaged, turn it off at the electricity supply immediately andcontact your Miele dealer or Miele Service.

The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele authorized service technician.

We recommend replacing defective components with originalspare parts. If original Miele spare parts are installed correctly, Mieleensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warrantyremains valid.

During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwashermust be disconnected from the domestic electricity supply (turn it offand withdraw the plug from the socket).

If the power cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with aspecific cable of the same type (available from Miele Service). Forsafety reasons, this must only be done by Miele Service or a servicetechnician authorized by Miele.

Do not sit the dishwasher on the hose. The hose needs to be freeof kinks and able to move freely after installation. Do not place thehose or power cord next to a heat source e.g., hot water pipes. Donot expose the hose or power cord to corrosive substances (e.g.,chloride). Damage to the hose or power cord could cause electricalshock or water damage.

Correct installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliancewith the supplied installation sheet.

Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.Some metal parts pose a risk of injury / being cut. Wearprotective gloves.


11

The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensureproblem-free operation.

In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashersmust only be installed under a continuous countertop which issecured to adjacent cabinetry.

The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additionalsafety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliancein a tall unit, please use the tall unit installation kit and observe theinstallation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unittipping over.

The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They arecorrectly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left halfopen (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the doorcannot fall open. The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted doorsprings. If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact Miele Service.

The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with thefactory fitted door springs is 10–12 kg (depending on model).

Correct use

Do not use solvents in the wash cabinet. There is a danger ofexplosion.

Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in theeyes, nose, mouth, and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do notinhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents.Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowedor inhaled.

Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You couldinjure yourself on the opened door or trip over it.

Do not sit, stand, or lean on the opened door. The dishwashercould tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.


12

Dishware may be very hot at the end of the program. Allowdishware to cool until it is comfortable enough to handle beforeunloading them.

Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domesticdishwashers. Do not use liquid dish soap.

Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These maycause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosivechemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.This will cause damage to the rinse aid reservoir.

Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder orliquid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.

Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.

Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt or other pureevaporated salt. Other types of salt may contain insolublecomponents which can cause the water softener to malfunction.

In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knivesand forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basketfor safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handlesdownwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handledown in the basket will come out cleaner and drier.

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

If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergentcompartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary.The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment isnot dry, and this may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.


13

Accessories and spare parts

Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,warranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims willbe invalidated.

Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for aminimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following thediscontinuation of your dishwasher.

Transport

Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Beforeusing the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage.Never use a damaged dishwasher.

Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that nowater flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.

If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securelyfasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses, and power cables.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

Remove the door of the dishwasher so that children cannotbecome trapped inside.

Initial commissioning

19

Every dishwasher is tested at thefactory. There will be residual water inthe machine from this test. It is not anindication that the dishwasher hasbeen used previously.

Opening the doorIn some programs, the doorautomatically opens slightly to assistthe drying process. This function can be deactivated, ifpreferred (see “AutoOpen” under“Options”).

To open the door, reach under therecessed grip and pull the handle.

Open the door fully to disengage thelocking mechanism.

At the end of the program, if theAutoOpen function is on, the doorlocking pins automatically retract.

To prevent a technical fault, do nothold the door locking pins firmlywhen they are retracting.

If the door is opened during operation,all functions are automaticallyinterrupted.

Risk of scalding due to hotwater.During operation, water in thedishwasher may be very hot.During operation, only open the doorwith extreme caution.

Risk of injury due to dooropening automatically.The door may open automatically atthe end of a program.Keep the area around the door freeof obstructions.


20

Closing the door Push the baskets in.

Raise the door upward until the catchengages.

Risk of crushing due to the doorclosing.When closing the door, you are atrisk of shutting your fingers in it.Do not put your hand inside the dooras it is closing.

Activating the child lockUse the child lock to prevent childrenopening the dishwasher door. The doorcan then only be opened by using a lotof force.

To lock the door, push the slideunderneath the door grip to the right.

To unlock the door, push the slide tothe left.


21

Water softenerIn order to achieve good cleaningresults, the dishwasher needs tooperate with soft water. Hard waterresults in a build-up of calcium depositson dishware and in the dishwasher. Domestic water with a hardness levelhigher than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – Germanscale) must be softened. This occursautomatically in the integrated watersoftener. The water softener is suitablefor a water hardness level of up to12.6 mmol/l (70 °dH – German scale).

In order to be reactivated, the watersoftener requires reactivation salt. Depending on the water hardness level(< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH – Germanscale), reactivation salt may not berequired if combination detergents arebeing used (see “Active ingredients”under “Detergents”).

- You should program the dishwasherto the correct water hardness for yourarea.

- Your local water authority will be ableto advise you of the water hardnesslevel in your area.

- Where the water hardness fluctuates(e.g., between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l or10–15 °dH – German scale), alwaysprogram the dishwasher to the highervalue (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °dH – Germanscale in this example).

If the water hardness in your area isavailable in a unit other than °dH, youcan convert the values as follows: 1 °dH = 0.18 mmol/l = 1.78 °fH

The dishwasher is programmed at thefactory for a water hardness level 1 °dH– German scale.

If your water hardness levelcorresponds to this setting, you canskip to the next section.

However, if you have a different waterhardness level, you must adjust thewater softener to match your waterhardness.


22

Displaying and setting the waterhardness level

Turn the dishwasher off with the button, if it is turned on.

Press the Start button in and, whileholding it in, turn the dishwasher onusing the button.Keep the Start button pressed in forat least 4 seconds until the Startindicator light comes on.

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

Press the Program button 2 times.

The left program indicator light will flashrapidly 2 times at intervals.

The value set for the water hardness isshown as a figure after in the timedisplay.

4 will start flashing in the timedisplay.A water hardness of 14 gr/gal (14 °dH –German scale) is set.

Use the Start button to set the waterhardness value in your area.The dosage amount increases eachtime you press the button. When thehighest value is reached, the settingstarts again from the beginning.

The setting is now saved.

Turn the dishwasher off with the button.


23

Reactivation saltIn order to maintain the functions of thewater softener, it must be reactivatedregularly.

In order to be reactivated, the watersoftener requires reactivation salt. Depending on the water hardness level(< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH – Germanscale), reactivation salt may not berequired if combination detergents arebeing used (see “Active ingredients”under “Detergents”).

If the water in your area is very softand constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l(5 °dH – German scale), you do notneed to add reactivation salt. The saltrefill reminder will automatically turnoff after the water hardness has beenset accordingly (see “Displaying andsetting the water hardness level”under “Before using for the first time”).

Damage to the water softenerfrom detergent.Dishwasher detergent will damagethe water softener.Do not fill the salt reservoir withpowder or liquid detergent.

Damage caused by usingunsuitable salts.Some types of salt may containinsoluble components which cancause the water softener tomalfunction.Use only special, coarse-grainedreactivation salt or other pureevaporated salt.

If you only ever use combinationdetergent products containing salt andrinse aid in your dishwasher, you canturn off both refill reminders if youwish (see “Turning off the refillreminders” under “Options”).

Please make sure that if you stopusing combination detergents, yourefill the reactivation salt and rinseaid. Turn the refill reminders back onif required.


24

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for thefirst time, you must fill it with approx.2 l of water to enable the salt todissolve.

Once the dishwasher has been usedonce, there is always sufficient waterin the salt reservoir.

Remove the lower basket from thewash cabinet and unscrew the saltreservoir cap.

Danger of corrosion due to salinesolution.Water or saline solution will run outof the salt reservoir when the cap isopened. Salt solution that runs outcan cause corrosion in the washcabinet and to the wash items.The cap should therefore only beremoved in order to refill the saltreservoir.

Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2 lof water (first use only).

Place the funnel provided over thesalt reservoir and carefully fill withreactivation salt until the reservoir isfull. The salt reservoir holds up to2 kg of salt, depending on the type ofsalt used.

Clean off salt residues from aroundthe salt reservoir opening. Next,screw the salt reservoir cap on againfirmly.

Immediately after filling the saltreservoir and each time you removethe salt reservoir cap, run the 65°C QuickIntenseWash programwith the Express program optionselected without wash items in thedishwasher to dissolve and removeany traces of salt from the washcabinet.


25

Refilling the salt

When the Salt refill reminder lightsup, wait until the end of the programand then refill the salt reservoir.

Danger of corrosion due to salinesolution.Salt solution that runs out can causecorrosion in the wash cabinet and tothe wash items.Each time you remove the saltreservoir cap, you must run the 65°C QuickIntenseWash programwith the Express program optionselected without wash items in thedishwasher. This will dissolve andremove any traces of salt from thewash cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,the refill reminder may still appear in thedisplay if the salt concentration has notyet reached the correct level. It will goout once the salt concentration hasreached the correct level.

The salt refill indicator will be turned offif you have programmed the dishwasherfor a water hardness below 0.9 mmol/l(5 °dH – German scale).


26

Rinse aidRinse aid is necessary to ensure waterdoes not cling and leave marks ondishware during the drying phase andhelps dishware dry faster after it hasbeen washed. Rinse aid is poured into the containerand the amount set is dispensedautomatically.

Liquid dish soap or detergentcan cause damage.Liquid dish soap and detergent candamage the rinse aid reservoir.Only fill it with rinse aid formulatedfor domestic dishwashers.

Alternatively, you could use liquid citricacid at a concentration of up to 10%.The resulting rinsing and drying qualitywill not, however, be as good as whenrinse aid is used.

Risk of acid damage.The dishwasher can be damaged byhigh concentrations of acid.Under no circumstances should youuse citric acid with a higher acidcontent.

If you only ever wish to usecombination detergent products inyour dishwasher, you do not need toadd rinse aid. However, for optimum rinsing anddrying results, use dishwasherdetergent and add reactivation saltand rinse aid separately.

Please make sure that if you stopusing combination detergents, yourefill the reactivation salt and rinseaid. Turn the refill reminders back onif required.


27

Adding rinse aid

Press the yellow button on the lidof the rinse aid reservoir.

The lid will spring open.

Fill with rinse aid until the filling levelindicator (arrow) changes to a darkcolour while the door is horizontallyopen.

The rinse aid reservoir holdsapproximately 110 ml.

Close the lid firmly until you hear itclick into place. Otherwise, water canenter the rinse aid reservoir during aprogram.

Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. Thisprevents over-foaming occurringduring the next program.

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

When the refill reminder Rinse aidappears in the display, the reservoircontains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3programs only.

Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

The rinse aid refill reminder will go out.

If you only ever use combinationdetergent products containing salt andrinse aid in your dishwasher, you canturn off both refill reminders if youwish (see “Turning off the refillreminders” under “Options”).


28

Setting the rinse aid dosage

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage forbest results. The rinse aid dosage can be set from 0to 6 ml. 3 ml is the factory default setting.

The rinse aid dosage can turn out to behigher than the set value due to theautomatic adjustment of the program.

If spots appear on dishware:

- Increase the rinse aid dosage.

If clouding or smearing appears ondishware:

- Decrease the rinse aid dosage.






The set value will appear in the displayafter .

will start flashing in the time display. Setting 3 is set.

Use the Start button to select therequired setting.The dosage amount increases eachtime you press the button. When thehighest value is reached, the settingstarts again from the beginning.

Energy-saving dishwashingThis dishwasher is exceptionallyeconomical in its use of water andelectricity. For best results, follow these tips:

- Washing in a dishwasher generallyuses less water and energy thanwashing by hand.

- There is no need to pre-rinse itemsunder running water. This wouldunnecessarily increase water andenergy consumption.

- Make full use of the baskets withoutoverloading the dishwasher. Thisresults in the most economicaldishwashing in terms of energy andwater consumption.

- Choose a program that best suits thedegree of soiling and the type ofdishware being washed (see“Program overview”).

- Select the Normal program forenergy-saving dishwashing. Thisprogram is the most efficient in termsof its combined energy and waterconsumption for cleaning dishwarewith a normal level of soiling.

- Follow the detergent manufacturer’srecommendations on detergentdosage.

- When using powder or liquiddetergent, you can use 1/3 lessdetergent if baskets are only half full.

- You can connect the dishwasher to ahot water supply. A hot waterconnection is particularly suitablewith energy-saving water heatingsources, such as solar energy with acirculation system.If the water is heated by electricity,we would recommend connection tocold water.

Loading the dishwasher

30

General informationRemove coarse food residues fromdishware.

There is no need to pre-rinse itemsunder running water.

Damage can be caused by ash,sand, wax, lubricating grease, orpaint.These substances will contaminatethe dishwasher and can then nolonger be removed.Do not wash items soiled with thesesubstances in the dishwasher.

Dishware can be loaded anywhere inthe baskets, but the following notesshould be observed:

- Do not place dishware and cutleryinside other pieces where they maybe concealed.

- Load dishware so that water canaccess all surfaces. This ensures thatdishware will be properly cleaned.

- Make sure that all items are securelypositioned.

- Hollow items such as cups, glasses,and pots should be placed upsidedown in the baskets.

- Tall, narrow, hollow items such aschampagne glasses should beplaced in the centre of the basketrather than in the corners. Thisensures the hollow items are moreeasily accessed by the water jets.

- Wide based items should be placedat an angle so that water can run offthem freely.

- The spray arms must not be blockedby items which are too tall or hangthrough the baskets. Test for freemovement by manually rotating thespray arms.

- Make sure that small items cannotfall through the holders in thebaskets. Small items such as lids shouldtherefore be placed in the cutlery trayor cutlery basket (depending onmodel).

Some foods such as carrots,tomatoes, or ketchup may containnatural dyes. These dyes candiscolour plastic items in thedishwasher if large quantities of thesefoods are in contact with the dishwareinside the machine. The stability ofplastic items is not affected by thisdiscolouration.Washing silverware can also causeplastic items to discolour.


31

Wash items not suitable fordishwashers:

- Wooden cutlery and dishware oritems with wooden parts. These maydiscolour and fade. The glue used inthese items is not dishwasher-proofand wooden handles may comeloose after being washed in adishwasher.

- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,and decorative glassware. Suchitems are not suitable fordishwashers.

- Plastic items that are not heatresistant. The high temperatures inthe dishwasher may cause them tomelt or lose shape.

- Copper, brass, tin, and aluminumitems. These may discolour orbecome dull.

- Colours painted over a glaze. Thesemay fade after a number of washes.

- Delicate glassware and glasswarecontaining lead crystal. Clouding mayoccur over time.

Silverware

Silverware that has been in contact withfoods containing sulphur can discolour.These include egg yolk, onions,mayonnaise, mustard, fish, andmarinades. Silverware previously cleaned with asilver polish may still be damp orspotted at the end of a program, wherewater has not run off smoothly.

Useful tip: Rub the silverware dry witha cloth.

Damage due to caustic alkalinedetergents.Aluminum parts (e.g., the greasefilters of ventilation hoods) can bedamaged by caustic alkalinedetergents. In extreme cases, thereis a risk of an explosive chemicalreaction (such as an explosiveoxyhydrogen gas reaction).Aluminum components must not becleaned in the dishwasher withcaustic alkaline commercial orindustrial detergents.

Useful tip: When purchasing newdishware and cutlery, make sure theyare dishwasher safe if you want to washthem in the dishwasher.

Glass care

- Clouding may occur on glasses afterfrequent washing. When washingdelicate glassware in the dishwasher,ensure that only a special glass-careprogram with very low temperaturesis selected (see “Program overview”).This will reduce the risk of clouding.

Loading the upper basket

Risk of damage due to waterleakage.If you run the dishwasher without theupper basket, water can leak out ofthe dishwasher.Only run the dishwasher with theupper basket in place (except duringthe Tall items program, if available).

Use the upper basket for small,lightweight, and delicate items suchas cups, saucers, glasses, dessertbowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes canalso be placed in the upper basket.

Long items such as soup ladles andmixing spoons should be placed lyingdown across the front of the upperbasket.

Loading the FlexCare Cup Rack

You can put cups, small bowls, and flatdishware on the FlexCare Cup Rack.Glasses can be arranged along the cuprack so they sit securely during theprogram.

Lower the cup rack to do so.

Raise the cup rack upward to makeroom for tall items.


35

Adjusting the FlexCare Cup Rack

You can set the height and depth of thecup rack at 2 different levels so that itcan accommodate larger cups and sothat taller items can be placedunderneath it.

Pull the cup rack upward and click itinto the desired position (see arrow).


36

Adjusting the upper basketIn order to gain more space for talleritems in the lower basket or upperbasket, the upper basket can beadjusted on 3 levels with 3/4 " (2 cm)between each level.

The upper basket can also be set at anangle so that water can run off freelyfrom recesses. Make sure, however,that the basket can slide smoothly inand out of the wash cabinet.

Detergent

40

Active ingredients

Damage caused by usingunsuitable detergents.Detergents that are not suitable fordomestic dishwashers can causedamage to the dishwasher or to thewash items.Only use detergents formulated fordomestic dishwashers.

Modern detergents contain variousactive ingredients, the most importantof which are:

- Water softening complexing agentsto prevent calcification.

- Alkalis to aid removal of dried-onsoiling.

- Enzymes to break down starch andloosen protein.

- Oxygen-based bleaching agents toremove coloured stains (e.g., tea,coffee, tomato sauce).

Most dishwasher detergents are mildlyalkaline and contain enzymes andoxygen-based bleaching agents.

There are different types of detergent:

- Powder and liquid gel detergents.These detergents allow you to adjustthe amount dispensed according tothe amount of wash items and thelevel of soiling.

- Tab detergents. These are suitable formost levels of soiling.

As well as the usual detergents,combination products are alsoavailable. These contain rinse aid and watersoftener (reactivation salt).Only use these combination detergentsfor the water hardness levelsrecommended by the manufacturer onthe packaging. The cleaning and drying performance ofthese combination detergents can varygreatly.

For optimum cleaning and dryingresults, use dishwasher detergent andadd salt and rinse aid separately.

Detergent

41

Risk of chemical burns fromdetergent.Dishwasher detergents can causeburning on the skin and in the eyes,nose, mouth, and throat.Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powderdetergents. Do not swallowdishwasher detergents. Seekmedical attention immediately ifdetergent has been swallowed orinhaled.Keep children away from detergents.Detergent residues could still bepresent in the machine. Keepchildren away from the dishwasherwhen the door is open. Do not fill thedetergent dispenser until just beforestarting the program and activate thedoor child lock (depending onmodel).

Detergent dispensingThe detergent compartment holds amaximum of 50 ml.

There are marks in the detergentcompartment to aid with dispensing:20, 30, max. When the door is openedto a horizontal position, they show theapproximate fill level in ml and themaximum fill height.

Follow the detergent dosagerecommended by the manufactureron the packaging.

Unless directed otherwise, use onedetergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml ofdetergent to the detergentcompartment, depending on the levelof soiling of the dishware.

If you use less than the recommendedamount of detergent, the dishware maynot get properly clean.

Some tabs may not dissolve completelywhen the program QuickIntenseWash isused.
