Warning and safety instructions

5

This dishwasher conforms to current safety requirements.Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury andmaterial damage.

Please observe the installation sheet and read the operatinginstructions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using itfor the first time. They both contain important information on itsinstallation, safety, use and maintenance. This is to protectyourself from injury and prevent damage to the dishwasher.

In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly andstrongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in thechapter on installing the dishwasher as well as the safetyinstructions and warnings.Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliancewith these instructions.

Keep the installation sheet and the operating instructions in a safeplace and pass them on to any future owner.


6

Appropriate use

This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households andsimilar working and residential environments.

This dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use.

This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 4000 mabove sea level.

This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domesticcrockery and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted.

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 useit in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences ofincorrect operation.


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 recognise the possibledangers caused by incorrect operation.

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

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 thedoor opens. There is a danger of injury in the unlikely event of a faultwith the opening mechanism.

Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may becomeentangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull itover their head and risk suffocation. Keep packaging material awayfrom 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 dishwasher. Seekmedical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled anydetergents.


8

Technical safety

Unauthorised 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 this dishwasher can only be guaranteedwhen correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safetyrequirement is present. 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 earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous powersupply system or a power supply system that is not synchronisedwith the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems)is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supplysystem complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or anequivalent standard.The function and operation of the protective measures provided inthe domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product mustalso be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is notsynchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures mustbe replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO45001.

The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supplyvia a suitable switched socket using a fused 3-pin plug (it must notbe hard-wired). The electrical socket must be easily accessible afterthe dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from theelectricity supply at any time.


9

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 hob. The hightemperatures radiated by hobs could damage the dishwasher below.For the same reason, the appliance must not be installed next toopen fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heatersetc., not normally found in a kitchen.

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

Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it hasbeen fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the doorsprings.

The dishwasher may only be operated if the door openingmechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk ofdanger whilst 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.


10

Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee therequired safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not connect thedishwasher to the mains electricity supply using a multi-socketadapter or an extension lead.

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 occurring. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. Thereliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired attemperatures below freezing point.

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

The plastic housing of the water connection contains a solenoidvalve. The housing must not be dipped in water.

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

The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from waterdamage, provided that the following conditions are met:

- Installation has been carried out correctly

- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replacedwhere this is noticeably required

- The stopcock is turned off during longer absences from the home(e.g. whilst on holiday).

The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher isswitched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected tothe electricity supply.

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


11

A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwashergets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and call yourMiele dealer or Miele Service.

While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only beundertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise thewarranty is invalidated.

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 mains electricity supply (switch it offand withdraw the plug from the socket).

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only bereplaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type(available from the Miele Customer Service Department). For safetyreasons this must only be done by the Miele Customer ServiceDepartment or a Miele authorised technician.

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.

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 worktop that is secured toadjacent cabinetry.


12

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 set 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 the Miele CustomerService Department.

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 dishwasher. Risk of explosion.

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 open door or trip over it.

Do not sit or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could tipover. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.

Crockery may be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow thedishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle beforeunloading them.

Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domesticdishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.


13

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 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.Detergent will damage the water softener.

Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other purekitchen salt for reactivation. Other salts may contain insolubleadditives that can impair the functioning of the water softener.

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 that 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. If it is not, wipe it until dry. The detergentwill clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and thismay mean that it is not fully rinsed out.

Please observe the information given in the “Technical data”chapter regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.


14

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 mains connectioncables.

Basic settings

Switching on the dishwasher

Switch the dishwasher on with the button.

The welcome screen will appear whenthe dishwasher is switched on.

For further information about thedisplay functionality, see the “Displayfunctions” section in the “Guide to theappliance” chapter.

Setting the language

The display will then changeautomatically to the screen for settingthe language.

Select the language you want as wellas the country, if applicable, usingthe buttons and confirm with OK.

For further information on setting thelanguage, see the “Language” sectionin the “Settings” chapter.

A tick will appear next to thelanguage that has been set.

Setting the water hardness level

The display will change to the screenfor setting the water hardness.

- You should programme thedishwasher to the correct waterhardness for your area.

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

- Where the water hardness fluctuatese.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 -15 °dH - German scale) alwaysprogramme the dishwasher to thehigher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °dH inthis example).

In the event of a fault, it will help theservice technician if you know thehardness of your local water supply.

Therefore, please enter the waterhardness:

____________°dH or mmol/l

The dishwasher is programmed at thefactory for a water hardness level of2.5 mmol/l (14 °dH – German scale).

Set the water hardness level in yourarea and confirm using OK.

See the “Settings” chapter, “Waterhardness” section for moreinformation.


22

Finally, prompts will appear in thedisplay.

After confirming these prompts withOK, the messages Refill salt and Refill rinse aid may appear.

Add salt and rinse aid if necessary(see “Before using for the first time“ –”Dishwasher salt” and “Rinse aid”).

Select OK to confirm the messages.

The programme selected will brieflyappear in the display and the indicatorlight for the programme selected willcome on. Next, the estimated energy and waterconsumption may be shown for thechosen programme for severalseconds.Then the display will show theestimated running time for theprogramme selected.


23

Dishwasher saltIn order to achieve good cleaningresults, the dishwasher needs tooperate with soft water. Hard waterresults in the build-up of calciumdeposits on crockery and on the washcabinet walls. Mains water with a water 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 maintain the functions ofthe water softener, it must bereactivated regularly. Reactivationoccurs automatically every ninthprogramme sequence. At the start ofthe next programme, an additional4.4 l of water is required for thisprocess. Energy consumptionincreases by 0.015 kWh and theprogramme is extended by approx.3 minutes. The above only applies to the ECOprogramme at a water hardness of2.5 mmol/l (14 °dH – German scale).For other programmes and waterhardness levels, the frequency ofreactivation will differ.

In order to be reactivated, the watersoftener requires dishwasher salt. Depending on the water hardness level(< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH – Germanscale), dishwasher salt is not required ifcombination detergents are being used(see “Detergent – Powder detergent anddetergent tabs”).

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 dishwasher salt. The saltrefill indicator will automatically switchoff after the water hardness has beenset accordingly (see “Settings – Waterhardness”).

Damage to the water softenerfrom detergent.Detergent will damage the watersoftener.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.Only use special coarse-graineddishwasher salt or other pure kitchensalt for reactivation.

If you only ever use combinationdetergent products in yourdishwasher, you can turn off both refillreminders if you wish (see “Settings –Refill reminders”).

Please make sure that if you stopusing combination detergentproducts, you refill the dishwashersalt and rinse aid. Switch the refillreminders back on if 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 reservoir when the cap isopened. Saline solution that runs outcan cause corrosion in the washcabinet and to the dishwasher load.The salt reservoir should thereforeonly be opened in order to replenishthe salt.

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

Place the funnel provided over thesalt reservoir and carefully fill withdishwasher 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 container cap, run the 65 °C QuickPowerWashprogramme with the Expressprogramme option selected without aload in the dishwasher to dissolveand remove any traces of salt fromthe wash cabinet.


25

Refilling the salt

When Refill salt appears in thedisplay, wait until the end of theprogramme and then refill the saltreservoir.

Confirm with OK.

The salt refill indicator will go out.

Risk of corrosion due to salinesolution.Saline solution that runs out cancause corrosion in the wash cabinetand to the load items.Each time you remove the saltreservoir cap, you must run the 65 °C QuickPowerWashprogramme with the Expressprogramme option selected withoutany load items in the dishwasher.This will dissolve and remove anytraces of salt from the wash cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,the salt refill indicator may still appear inthe display if the salt concentration hasnot yet reached the correct level. In thiscase, confirm the message again withOK.

The salt refill indicator will be switchedoff if you have programmed thedishwasher for a water hardness below0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – German scale).


26

Rinse aidRinse aid is necessary to ensure thatwater does not cling and leave markson crockery during the drying phase,and helps crockery dry faster after ithas been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the containerand the amount set is dispensedautomatically.

Washing-up liquid or detergentcan cause damage.Washing-up liquid and detergent candamage the rinse aid container.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 qualityon the crockery will not, however, be asgood as when rinse 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 products in yourdishwasher, you do not need to addrinse aid. However, for optimum rinsing anddrying results, use dishwasherdetergent and add dishwasher saltand rinse aid separately.

If you only ever use combinationdetergent products containing salt andrinse aid in your dishwasher, you canswitch off both refill reminders if youwish (see “Settings – Refillreminders”).

Please make sure that if you stopusing combination detergents, yourefill the dishwasher salt and rinseaid. Switch the refill reminders backon if required.


27

Adding rinse aid

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

The lid will spring open.

Economical dishwashingThis dishwasher is exceptionallyeconomical in its use of water andelectricity. You can make the most of yourappliance by following these tips:

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

- There is no need to pre-wash itemsunder running water, and thisunnecessarily increases water andenergy consumption.

- For the most economicaldishwashing, make full use of thebasket capacity without overloadingthe dishwasher. This results in themost economical dishwashing interms of energy and waterconsumption.

- Choose the programme to suit thetype of crockery being washed andthe degree of soiling (see“Programme overview”).

- Select the ECO programme forenergy-saving dishwashing. Thisprogramme is the most efficient interms of its combined energy andwater consumption for cleaningcrockery with a normal level ofsoiling.

- Follow the detergent manufacturer’srecommendations on detergentdosage.

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

- 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.


35

EcoFeedback consumptionindicatorThe Consumption function is used forcalling up information about the energyand water consumption of yourdishwasher (see “Settings” chapter,“Consumption” section).

The following information can be shownon the display:

- An estimate of the consumptionbefore the programme begins

- The actual consumption at the end ofthe programme

- The total consumption of thedishwasher

1. Consumption estimate

After a programme has been selected,first the name of the programme andafter a few seconds the estimatedenergy consumption and waterconsumption will appear in thedisplay.

The estimated consumption will beshown as a bar chart. The more barsthat are visible ( ), the higher theenergy or water consumption.

The values are influenced by theprogramme, any programme optionsselected, the ambient conditions andthe size of the load.

The display will change automaticallyfrom showing the estimatedconsumption to showing the timeremaining.

The estimated consumption function isactivated as standard. This function canbe deactivated, if preferred (see“Settings”, “Consumption” section).

2. Display consumption

At the end of the programme you cancall up the actual amount of energy andwater used by the programme that hasjust been run.

Confirm the Consumption(OK) message with OK.

Switching the dishwasher off at theend of the programme will delete theactual consumption values for theprogramme that has just been run.

3. Total consumption

You can view the total consumption ofenergy and water for all previously usedprogrammes of your dishwasher (see“Settings” chapter, “Consumption”section).

Loading the dishwasher

36

General informationRemove coarse food residues fromcrockery.

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.

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

- Do not place crockery and cutleryinside other items where they willcover one another.

- Load the crockery so that water canaccess all surfaces. This ensures thatthey get properly cleaned.

- Make sure that all items are securelypositioned.

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

- Tall and narrow hollow items, such aschampagne glasses, should beplaced in the middle 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 that 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 3DMultiFlex tray or cutlery basket(depending on model).

Some foods may contain natural dyes,e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup.These dyes can discolour plastic itemsin the dishwasher if large quantities ofthese foods are in contact with thecrockery inside the appliance. Thestability of plastic items is not affectedby this discolouration.Washing silverware can also causeplastic items to discolour.


37

Items not suitable for dishwashers:

- Wooden cutlery and crockery 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 vasesand decorative glassware: such itemsare not suitable for dishwashers.

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

- Copper, brass, tin and aluminiumitems: 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.

Silver

Silver that has been in contact withfoods containing sulphur can discolour.These include egg yolk, onions,mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fishbrine and marinades. Silverware previously cleaned with asilver polish may still be damp orspotted at the end of a programme,where water has not run off smoothly.

Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.

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

Tip: When purchasing new crockeryand cutlery, make sure they aredishwasher-proof if you want to washthem in the dishwasher.

Glass care

- Clouding may occur on glasses afterfrequent washing in the dishwasher.When washing delicate glassware inthe dishwasher, ensure that only aspecial glass care programme withvery low temperatures is selected(see “Programme overview”). This willreduce the risk of clouding.

- Purchase glassware that isdishwasher-safe (e.g. Riedelglassware).

- Use detergents with glass protectiveadditives.

Detergent

46

Active ingredients

Damage caused by usingunsuitable detergents.Detergents that are not suitable fordomestic dishwashers can causedamage to the dishwasher or to theload.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 size of the load and level ofsoiling.

- 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 (dishwasher 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

47

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 powder detergents. Donot swallow dishwasher detergents.Seek medical attention immediately ifdetergent has been swallowed orinhaled.Keep children away from detergents.Detergent residues could still bepresent in the dishwasher. Keepchildren away from the dishwasherwhen the door is open. Do not fill thedetergent dispenser until just beforestarting the programme and activatethe door safety 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 thedegree of soiling of the crockery.

Failure to dispense the recommendedamount of detergent may impaircleaning results.

Some tabs may not dissolve completelywhen the programme QuickPowerWashis used.

Cleaning and care

62

Check the condition of yourdishwasher regularly (approx. every4–6 months). In this way, faults andproblems can be avoided.

Damage due to unsuitablecleaning agents.All surfaces are susceptible toscratching. Contact with unsuitablecleaning agents can alter ordiscolour the external surfaces.Only use cleaning agents formulatedfor use on the relevant surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinetThe wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correctamount of detergent is always used.

The frequent use of low-temperaturewash programmes (< 50 °C) increasesthe risk of contamination and odoursinside the wash cabinet. Run theIntensive 75 °C programme once permonth to clean the wash cabinet andprevent odours from developing.

However, if residues such as limescaleor grease have been deposited, use theMaintenance programme to clean thedishwasher (see “Programme overview– Additional programmes ”) withdishwasher cleaner (see “Optionalaccessories – Appliance care”). Followthe instructions on the productpackaging.

Miele cleaning and care products areavailable to order from the MieleCustomer Service Department or fromthe Miele online shop.

Clean the filters in the wash cabinetregularly.

Cleaning and care

63

Hygiene cycleIf you mainly use low temperatureprogrammes, there is a risk of bacteriaand unpleasant odours building up inthe wash cabinet. If you repeatedly uselow temperature programmes, youshould regularly run a high temperatureprogramme. This is to prevent the build-up of residues and odours.

You can activate or deactivate aHygiene info message (see “Settings –Hygiene cycle”). If you deactivate this message, run theIntensive 75 °C programme once permonth to clean the wash cabinet andprevent odours from developing.

Cleaning the door and the doorsealThe door seal and the sides of thedishwasher door cannot be reachedand cleaned by the spray arm jets. As aresult, mould can develop here.

Wipe the door seals regularly with adamp cloth to remove food deposits.

The Miele Waterproof systemProvided that your dishwasher hasbeen installed correctly, the MieleWaterproof system will protect you fromwater damage throughout its lifetime.

Water inlet

Health risk due to wash water.Water in the dishwasher is notdrinking water.Do not drink any water from thedishwasher.

Health risk and risk of damagedue to contaminated incoming water.The quality of the incoming watermust correspond to the drinkingwater specification of the country inwhich the dishwasher is beingoperated.Connect the dishwasher to a drinkingwater supply.

The dishwasher may be connected tocold or hot water (up to max. 60 °C)supplies. If energy-saving water heating sourcessuch as solar energy circulationsystems are used, we recommendconnecting to the hot water supply. Thissaves both time and electrical energycosts. Hot water is used in allprogrammes.

The SolarSave programme (if available)requires a hot water connection ofbetween a minimum of 45 °C and amaximum of 60 °C (inlet temperature). The higher the water intaketemperature, the better the cleaning anddrying results.

The water inlet hose is approx. 1.5 mlong. A 1.5 m long, flexible metalextension hose (tested to14,000 kPa/140 bar) is available as anoptional accessory from Miele specialistdealers or the Miele Customer ServiceDepartment.

A stopcock with a ¾" threaded union isrequired for the connection. If astopcock is not available, only aqualified installer may connect thedishwasher to the drinking watersupply.

The water connection pressure must bebetween 50 and 1000 kPa. If the waterconnection pressure is too high, apressure reducing valve must be fitted.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

88

Risk of damage from leakingwater.The connection point is subject tomains water pressure. Water leakingfrom it can cause damage.You should therefore open thestopcock slowly and check for leaks.Correct the position of the seal andscrew thread if appropriate.

Regulation in GermanyFor the protection of drinking water, thenon-return valve supplied with thedishwasher must be installed betweenthe stopcock and the water inlet hose.

Screw the non-return valve onto thestopcock.

Screw the water inlet hose onto thethread of the non-return valve.

Risk of damage due to excessivepressure.A brief increase in the water pressurecan damage components of thedishwasher.This dishwasher must only beoperated when it is connected to afully vented plumbing system.

Risk of electric shock from mainsvoltage.There are electrical components inthe water inlet hose.The inlet hose must not be shortenedor damaged in any way (seeillustration).

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

89

Water drainageThe dishwasher’s drainage system isfitted with a non-return valve, whichprevents dirty water from flowing backinto the appliance via the drain hose.

The dishwasher is supplied withapprox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose withan internal diameter of 22 mm.

The drain hose can be extended using aconnection piece to attach a furtherlength of hose. The drainage lengthmust not be longer than 4 m and thedelivery head no higher than 1 m.

If the hose is to be directly fitted to thedrainage outlet on site, use the hoseclip supplied (see installation plan).

The hose can be directed to the left orthe right of the appliance.

The on-site connector for the drain hosecan be adapted to different hosediameters. If the connector extends toofar into the drain hose, it must beshortened. Otherwise, the drain hosecan become blocked.

The drain hose must not be shortened.

Lay the drain hose so that it does notkink and is not being subjected topressure or tension.

Risk of damage from leakingwater.Leaking water can cause damage.After commissioning, make sure thatthe water is not leaking.

Electrical connectionThe dishwasher is “connector-ready” asstandard for connection to an earthedsocket.

The socket must be easily accessibleafter the dishwasher has been installed.If that is not possible, ensure that asuitable means of disconnection isprovided on the installation side foreach pole.

Risk of fire from overheating.Connecting the dishwasher to amulti-socket adapter or to anextension lead can overload themains connection cable.For safety reasons, do not use anextension lead or multi-socketadapter.

The electrical installation must complywith VDE 0100 requirements.

For safety reasons, we recommendusing a type residual current device(RCD) in the assigned electricalinstallation for connecting thedishwasher.

If the mains connection cable isdamaged, it must only be replaced witha specific mains connection cable ofthe same type (available from the MieleCustomer Service Department). Forsafety reasons, such replacement mayonly be carried out by a qualifiedspecialist or the Miele CustomerService Department.

These operating instructions and thedata plate indicate the nominal powerconsumption and the appropriate fuserating. Compare this information withthe data of the on-site electricalconnection.If in any doubt, consult a qualifiedelectrician.

Temporary or permanent operation onan autonomous power supply system ora power supply system that is notsynchronised with the mains powersupply (e.g. island networks, back-upsystems) is possible. A prerequisite foroperation is that the power supplysystem complies with the specificationsof EN˽50160 or an equivalent standard.The function and operation of theprotective measures provided in thedomestic electrical installation and inthis Miele product must also bemaintained in isolated operation or inoperation that is not synchronised withthe mains power supply, or thesemeasures must be replaced byequivalent measures in the installation.As described, for example, in thecurrent version of BS OHSAS 18001–2ISO 45001.
