Technical data 99

This dishwasher complies with all current local and national safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property.

Please observe the installation sheet and read the operating instructions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using it for the first time. They both contain important information on the installation, safety, use, and maintenance of the machine. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the dishwasher.

In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in "Installation" and in "Warning and Safety instructions".

Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by noncompliance with these instructions.

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

Correct application

This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/ shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.
This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.
The dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 4,000 m above sea level.
The dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery. Any other use is not permitted.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.

Safety with children

Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the dishwasher if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely. They must be able to understand and recognise the possible dangers of misuse.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher. Keep small children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the risk of injury. Ensure that they do not play with the appliance. There is a risk that children may lock themselves in the dishwasher.
If the automatic door opening mechanism is active (depending on the model), keep young children away from the area in which the door opens. There is a danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the opening mechanism.
Danger of suffocation! While playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.

Keep detergents and other household cleaning agents out of reach of children. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants and corrosive ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. They can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet or dispenser. Check that the dispenser is empty after the completion of a programme. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any detergent. Contact a Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or the National Poisons Centre (NZ).

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.

The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a qualified electrician.

Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems.

The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.

The dishwasher must only be connected to the electricity supply via a suitable switched socket using a 3-pole plug with protective contact (it must not be hardwired). The socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.

There must be no electrical sockets concealed behind the dishwasher because the building-in niche may be too small, creating a risk of overheating if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against the plug (fire hazard).

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

Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher's data plate (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the electricity supply to prevent damage to the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the appliance to the mains electricity. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

• Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply until it has been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door springs.

The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mechanism is working correctly, as otherwise there could be a danger when the automatic door opening is activated (depending on the model).

To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:

• The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45^ opening angle). The door must not fall open on its own beyond this point.
• The door locking pin retracts automatically after the drying phase when the door is opened.
  Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply using a multi-socket adapter or an extension cord.
  The dishwasher must not be installed and operated in mobile locations (e.g. on a ship).

Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses can break or burst. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
To avoid any damage to the dishwasher, it must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical valve. 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 water protection system offers protection from water damage, provided the following conditions are met:

• Installation has been carried out correctly.
• The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced when they are visibly damaged.
• The tap is turned off during longer absences from the home (e.g. whilst on holiday).

The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to the electricity supply.

The water connection pressure needs to be between 50 and 1,000kPa .
A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and contact Miele customer service.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.
Defective components must be replaced with original parts. If original Miele parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid.

During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher must be disconnected from the electricity supply (switch it off and withdraw the plug from the socket).
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician or by Miele in order to avoid a hazard.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Correct installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in accordance with the installation instructions and the supplied installation plan.

Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher. Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/cutting. Wear protective gloves.

The way in which the dishwasher is installed must not cause doors to be blocked when the door is automatically opened.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure trouble-free operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous countertop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
A sink in the adjacent cabinet of the dishwasher must be carefully sealed. Regularly check for leaks to avoid damage to the dishwasher.

The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additional safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance in a tall unit, please use the "Tall unit installation kit" and observe the installation plan provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit tipping over.

The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45^ opening angle). The door must not fall open on its own beyond this point.

The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door springs.

If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact Miele customer service.

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

Correct use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. There is a danger of explosion.
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Do not inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Contact a Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or the National Poisons Centre (NZ).
Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could injure yourself on the open door or trip over it.
Do not sit, stand, or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.

Dishes may be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause serious damage to the rinse aid reservoir.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.
- Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure evaporated salts for reactivation. Other types of salt (such as cooking salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain insoluble components which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles downwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle down in the cutlery 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 not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the timer option, the detergent compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary. The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and it may not be fully rinsed out.

Please observe the information listed under Technical data regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.

Accessories and spare parts

• Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, warranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims will be invalidated.
  Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your dishwasher.

Transport

• Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.
  Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.
  If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely fasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses and mains connection cables.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. 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 for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the machine from this test. It is not an indication that the dishwasher has been used previously.

Opening the door

In some programmes the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying process.

This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see "Programme options - AutoOpen").

Caution: Avoid blocking doors

The automatic door opening function could cause doors to be blocked. Install the dishwasher so that the door does not block any other doors when it opens automatically.

To open the door, reach under the recessed grip and pull the handle firmly.
- Open the door fully to disengage the locking mechanism.

At the end of the programme, if the AutoOpen function is switched on, the door locking pin automatically retracts. The door locking pin must be fully retracted before you close the door again.

To prevent a technical fault, do not hold the door locking pin firmly when it is retracting.

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

Risk of scalding due to hot water.

During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot.

Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so.

Risk of injury due to door closing automatically.

The door may open automatically at the end of a programme.

Keep the area around the door free of obstructions.

Closing the door

Push the baskets right in.
- Raise the door upwards until the catch engages.

At the end of the programme, if the AutoOpen function switched is on, the door locking pin must be fully retracted before the door is closed. Otherwise, the door locking pin will hit the door.

Risk of crushing due to the door closing.

When closing the door, you are at risk of jamming your fingers in it. Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.

Activating the safety lock

Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. The door can then only be opened by using a lot of force.

To lock the door, push the slide underneath the door grip to the right.
To unlock the door, push the slide to the left.

Water softener

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft (low limescale) water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the appliance.

Water with a hardness level higher than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH - German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.5 mmol/l (70 °dH - German scale).

In order to be reactivated, the water softener requires dishwasher salt.

Depending on the water hardness level (< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH - German scale), dishwasher salt is not required if combination detergents are being used (see “Detergents - Types of detergents”).

• The dishwasher needs to be programmed to the correct water hardness for your area.
• Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
• Where the water hardness fluctuates, e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7mmol / l (10 - 15^ - German scale), always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15^ in this example).

If the water hardness in your area is available in a unit other than ^ dH , you can convert the values as follows: 1^ dH = 0.18 mmol/l = 1.78^ fH

The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 0.36 mmol/l (2 °dH - German scale).

If your water hardness level corresponds to this setting, you can skip to the next section.

However, if you have a different water hardness level, you must adjust the water softener to match your water hardness.

Displaying and setting the water hardness

• Switch the dishwasher off with the button, if it is switched on.
  Press the Start button in and, whilst holding it in, switch the dishwasher on using the button. Keep the Start button pressed in for at least 4 seconds until the Start indicator light comes on.

If this does not happen, start the procedure from the beginning again.
Press the > programme selection button 2 times.

The left programme indicator light will flash rapidly 2 times at intervals.

The value set is shown as a figure after P in the time display.

P14 will start flashing in the display. A water hardness of 2.5 mmol/l (14 °dH - German scale) is set.

• Use the Start button to set the water hardness level for your area. The setting increases each time you press the button. When the highest value is reached, the setting starts again from the beginning.
  The setting is now stored in memory.
• Switch the dishwasher off with the button.

Dishwasher salt

In order to maintain the functioning of the water softener, it must be reactivated regularly.

In order to be reactivated, the water softener requires dishwasher salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 3.8mmol / l, or < 21^- German scale), dishwasher salt is not required if combination detergents are being used (see "Detergents - Types of detergents").

If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH - German scale) you do not need to add dishwasher salt. The salt refill indicator will automatically switch off after the water hardness has been set accordingly (see “Using for the first time – Displaying and setting the water hardness”).

Damage to the water softener from detergents.

Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.

Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.

Damage caused by using unsuitable salts.

Other types of salt (such as cooking salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain insoluble components which can cause the water softener to malfunction.

Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure evaporated salts for reactivation.

If you only ever use combination detergent products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill reminders if you wish (see "Programme options - Switching off the refill reminders").

Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders back on if required.

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve.

Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir.

• Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Risk of corrosion due to saline solution.

Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened. Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the dishwasher load.

The salt reservoir should therefore only be opened to replenish the salt.

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

• Place the funnel provided on the salt reservoir and carefully fill with dishwasher salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds up to 2kg of salt, depending on the type of salt used.
  Clean off salt residues from around the salt reservoir opening. Next, screw the salt reservoir cap on again firmly.
• Immediately after filling the salt container, run the ④ 65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the ① Express option and without any load in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.

Replenishing salt

• When the Salt indicator lights up, wait until the end of the programme and then refill the salt reservoir.

Risk of corrosion due to saline solution.

Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the dishwasher load.

Each time you have opened the salt reservoir cap, immediately run the

65^ C QuickPowerWash programme with the Express option and without any dishes. This will dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill reminder may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. It will go out once the salt concentration has reached the correct level.

The salt refill indicator is deactivated if the dishwasher is set to a water hardness below 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH - German scale).

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling to and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase, and it helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed.

Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.

! Washing-up liquid or detergent can cause damage.

Washing-up liquid and dishwasher detergent will damage the rinse aid reservoir.

Only fill it with rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.

Alternatively, you can use liquid citric acid with up to 10% acid content. The dishes will, however, be more moist and stained than with rinse aid.

Risk of acid damage.

The dishwasher can be damaged by acids with a higher concentration.

Never use citric acid or vinegar with a higher acid content.

If you only ever use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you do not need to fill the rinse aid reservoir.

However, the best rinsing and drying results will be achieved by using a detergent together with separate dishwasher salt and rinse aid.

Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders back on if required.

Adding rinse aid

• Lift the yellow button on the lid of the rinse aid container.

The lid will open.

• Only add rinse aid until the fill level indicator (see arrow) turns dark when the door is open horizontally.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 110 ml.

• Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme.

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

Refilling rinse aid

When the *Rinse aid refill reminder lights up in the display, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3 programmes only.

Add rinse aid in good time.

The refill rinse aid reminder will go out.

If you only ever use combination detergent products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill reminders if you wish (see "Programme options - Switching off the refill reminders").

Setting the rinse aid dosage

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results.

The rinse aid dosage can be set from 0 to 6 ml.

3 ml is the factory default setting.

If spots appear on crockery and glassware:

• Increase the rinse aid dosage.

If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and glassware:

• Decrease the rinse aid dosage.

• Switch the dishwasher off with the button, if it is switched on.
  Press the Start button in and, whilst holding it in, switch the dishwasher on using the button.
  Keep the Start button pressed in for at least 4 seconds until the Start indicator light comes on.

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

Press the > programme selection button 3 times.

The left programme indicator light will flash rapidly 3 times at intervals.

The dosage set will appear in the display after P

P3 will start flashing in the display. Setting 3 is set.

• Select required setting with the Start button.
  The setting increases each time you press the button. When the highest value is reached, the setting starts again from the beginning.
  The setting is now stored in memory.
• Switch the dishwasher off with the button.

Economical dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity.

You can support the economical operation of your appliance by following these tips:

• Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing dishes by hand.
• Pre-rinsing dishes under running water is not necessary and unnecessarily increases water and energy consumption.
• For the most economical dishwashing, make full use of the basket capacity without overloading the dishwasher. This results in the most economical use of the dishwasher in terms of energy and water consumption.
• Choose the programme to suit the type of crockery being washed and the degree of soiling (see "Programme chart").
• Select the ECO programme for energy-saving dishwashing. This programme is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption for cleaning dishes with a normal level of soiling.
• Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations on detergent dosage.

• When using powder or liquid detergent, you can use 13 less detergent if the baskets are only half full.

• You can connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply. A hot water connection is particularly suitable with energy-saving water heating sources, such as solar water heaters. If the water is heated by electricity, we recommend connection to cold water.

General information

Remove coarse food residues from crockery.

There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water.

Damage can be caused by ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease, or paint.

These substances will contaminate the dishwasher and can then no longer be removed.

Do not wash items soiled with these substances in the dishwasher.

Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the baskets. However, please try to observe the following notes:

• Do not place dishes and utensils inside other items where they will cover one another.
• Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that they will get properly cleaned.
• Make sure that all items are securely positioned.
• Hollow items such as cups, glasses, and saucepans etc. must be inverted in the baskets.
• Tall and narrow, hollow items such as champagne glasses should be placed in the centre of the basket rather than in the corners. This ensures the hollow items are more easily accessed by the water jets.

• Wide based items should be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely.

• The spray arms must not be blocked by items that are too tall or hang through the baskets. 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 such as lids should therefore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model).

Some foods such as carrots, tomatoes, or tomato sauce may contain natural dyes. These dyes can discolour plastic items in the dishwasher if large quantities of these foods are in contact with the crockery inside the machine. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration. Washing silverware can also cause plastic items to discolour.

Items not suitable for washing in the dishwasher:

• Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts. These may discolour and fade. Furthermore, the glue used in these items is not dishwasher safe. Wooden handles may come loose after being washed in the dishwasher.
• Craft items, antiques, valuable vases, and decorative glassware. Such items are not suitable for dishwashers.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
• Copper, brass, tin, and aluminium items. These may discolour or become dull.
• Colours painted over a glaze. These may fade after a number of washes.
• Delicate glassware and glassware containing lead crystal. Clouding may occur over time.

Silverware

Silver can discolour when in contact with foods containing sulphur. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine, and marinades.

Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or spotted at the end of a programme, as water has not run off smoothly.

Useful tip: Rub the silverware dry with a cloth.

Damage due to caustic alkaline detergents.

Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease filters of rangehoods) can be damaged by caustic alkaline detergents. In extreme cases, there is a risk of an explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).

Aluminium components must not be cleaned in the dishwasher with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial detergents.

Useful tip: When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe if you want to wash them in the dishwasher.

Glass care

• Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing in the dishwasher. When washing delicate glassware in the dishwasher, select a special glass care programme with a low temperature (see "Programme chart"). This will reduce the risk of clouding.
  Purchase glassware that is dishwasher safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).
• Use detergents with glass protective additives.

Upper basket

See "Loading the dishwasher - Loading examples" for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery.

Loading the upper basket

Damage due to leaking water. If you run the dishwasher without the upper basket, water can leak out of the dishwasher.

Only run the dishwasher with the upper basket in place (except with the programme Tall items, if available).

Use the upper basket for small, lightweight, and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc.

Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.

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

Loading the FlexCare cup rack

You can put cups, small bowls, and flat dishes on the FlexCare cup rack. Glasses can be arranged along the cup rack so they sit securely during the programme.

Fold down the cup rack.
- Raise the cup rack upwards to make room for tall items.

Adjusting the FlexCare cup rack

You can set the height and depth of the cup rack at 2 different levels so that it can accommodate larger cups and so that taller items can be placed underneath it.

Pull the cup rack upwards and click it into the desired position (see arrows).

Adjusting the upper basket

In order to gain more space for taller items, 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 so that water can run off freely from recesses. Make sure, however, that the basket can slide smoothly in and out of the wash cabinet.

Pull out the upper basket.

Raise the upper basket:

• Lift the basket up until it clicks into place.

Lower the upper basket:

Pull upwards on the levers at either side of the upper basket.
- Adjust the basket to the desired height and then push the levers securely back down into position.

When adjusting the upper basket, make sure that tall plates in the lower basket do not block the middle spray arm.

Lower basket

See "Loading the dishwasher - Loading examples" for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery.

Loading the lower basket

• Place larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, serving bowls etc., in the lower basket. Glasses, cups, small plates and saucers can also be placed in the lower basket.

Loading the MultiComfort area

The rear section of the lower basket is used for washing cups, glasses, plates, and saucepans.

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

Useful tip: When tilted, plates up to 35~cm in diameter can be accommodated.

Lowering the spikes

The rows of spikes at the front are used for washing plates, soup bowls, platters, dessert bowls and saucers.

Both right-hand rows of spikes can be folded down to make more room for large items such as pots, pans, and serving dishes and bowls.

Press the yellow lever downwards ① and then lower the spikes ②

Cutlery tray/Cutlery basket (depending on model)

See "Loading the dishwasher - Loading examples" for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery.

• Load cutlery into the 3D MultiFlex tray or the cutlery basket (depending on model).

Loading the 3D MultiFlex tray

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

Spoon heads should be placed to rest on the serrated retainers on the base of the tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.

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

You can push the left insert to the middle in order to accommodate tall items and long stemmed glasses in the upper basket.

You can put large and long cutlery in the recessed centre part of the tray.

Arrange tall items (such as cake servers) so that they do not block the upper spray arm.

You can adjust the height of the right-hand insert to create more space in the right-hand part of the tray for larger cutlery items or smaller pieces of crockery.

Pull the insert inwards by the yellow handle and click it into place in one of the two positions.

Loading the cutlery basket

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

• To avoid the risk of injury, knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the cutlery basket. However, cutlery placed handle down in the cutlery basket will come out cleaner and drier.
• Place small items of cutlery in the individual slots on three sides of the cutlery basket.

Loading the cutlery insert for the cutlery basket

Use the insert supplied for heavily soiled items of cutlery. As this insert separates the items, they do not overlap and can be more easily accessed by the water jets.

Fit the insert onto the cutlery basket if required.

• Place cutlery into the insert with the handles facing downwards.
• Arrange them evenly along the insert.

Types of detergents

Damage due to unsuitable detergents.

Detergents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the load.

Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers.

Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are:

• Water softening complexing agents to prevent calcification.
• Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on soiling.
• Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein.
• Oxygen-based bleaching agents to remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee, tomato sauce).

Most dishwasher detergents are mildly alkaline and contain enzymes and oxygen-based bleaching agents.

There are different types of detergents:

• Powder and liquid gel detergents. These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the load size and the level of soiling.
• Detergent tabs. These are suitable for most levels of soiling.

As well as the usual detergents, combination products are also available.

These contain rinse aid and water softener (reactivation salt).

Only use these combination detergents for the water hardness levels recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

The cleaning and drying performance of these combination detergents can vary greatly.

Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders back on if required.

For optimum cleaning and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add salt and rinse aid separately.

Risk of chemical burns from detergent.

Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat.

Avoid contact with detergents.

Do not inhale or ingest powder detergents. Do not swallow

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

Keep detergents out of reach of children. Detergent residues could still be present in the machine. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Do not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the programme and activate the door safety lock (depending on model).

Detergent dispensing

The detergent compartment holds a maximum of 50ml

There are marks in the detergent compartment to aid with dispensing: 20, 30, max. When the door is opened to a horizontal position, they show the approximate fill level in ml and the maximum fill height.

• Follow the detergent dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
  Unless directed otherwise, use one detergent tab or add 20 to 30ml of detergent to the detergent compartment, depending on the degree of soiling of the crockery.

If you use less than the recommended amount of detergent, the dishes may not get properly clean.

Some tabs may not dissolve completely when the programme QuickPowerWash is used.

Adding detergent

• Lift the yellow catch on the lid of the detergent compartment //*.

The lid will open.

The lid will also be open at the end of the programme.

• Add the detergent to the detergent compartment.
• Slide the lid shut until you hear it click into place.

The detergent must not cause the detergent compartment lid to get stuck. This can prevent the lid from opening during the programme sequence.

Do not overfill the detergent compartment.

• Ensure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use. This prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together.

• You can also apply a small amount of detergent to the inner panel of the door in programmes that have a pre-wash stage (see "Programme chart").

Switching on the dishwasher

Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely.
Close the door.
Turn on the tap if it is turned off.
Press the button.

The Start indicator light flashes and the indicator light comes on next to the programme selected.

Selecting a programme

Choose your programme according to the type of crockery and the degree of soiling.

The different programmes and their use are described in the "Programme chart".

Use the programme selection button > to select the programme you want.

The indicator light for the selected programme will come on.

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

You can now select programme options (see "Programme options").

If any programme options are selected, the appropriate indicator lights will also light up.

Display of programme duration

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 displayed duration may vary for the same programme. It is influenced by, for example, the temperature of the incoming water, the reactivation cycle of the water softener, the detergent type, the amount of crockery and how soiled it is.

When a programme is selected for the first time, the display will show the average programme duration for a cold water connection.

The programme durations shown in the "Programme chart" refer to standard test loads and temperatures.

Each time a programme is run, the control module calculates the programme duration depending on the temperature of the water taken into the dishwasher and the size of the load.

Starting a programme

Press the Start button.

The programme will start.

The Start indicator will light up continuously.

Risk of scalding due to hot water.

During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot.

Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so.

At the end of the programme

The programme has ended when 0:00 appears in the display.

In some programmes, if the AutoOpen function is activated, the door will automatically open slightly (see "Programme options - AutoOpen"). This improves the drying process.

The drying fan may continue to run for a few minutes at the end of the programme.

Risk of damage due to steam. Steam from the dishwasher could damage the edges of delicate worktops when you open the door at the end of the programme if the fan is no longer running. If you have deactivated the automatic door opening function (see "Programme options - AutoOpen"), and would like to open the door as soon as the programme has finished, make sure that you open the door fully.

Energy management

To save energy, the dishwasher will switch off automatically 10 minutes after the last time a button is pressed or after the end of a programme.

You can switch the dishwasher back on with the button.

The dishwasher will not switch itself off while a programme is running or if there is a fault.

Switching off the dishwasher

The dishwasher can be switched off at any time using the button.

Switching the dishwasher off during a programme cancels the programme.

You can also do this to stop an ongoing timer.

Risk of damage from leaking water.

Overflowing water can cause damage.

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

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.

The dishes will cool much faster if you open the door when the programme has ended.

• First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket, and finally the 3D MultiFlex tray. This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and 3D MultiFlex tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

Interrupting a programme

A programme will be 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.

Risk of scalding due to hot water.

During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. 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.

Cancelling or changing a programme

If a programme is cancelled, important programme stages may be missed.

A programme should only be cancelled in the first few minutes of the programme sequence.

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

• Switch the dishwasher off with the button.

If you would like to select another programme:

• Switch the dishwasher back on with the button.
  If you have dispensed detergent manually (depending on model), check whether the detergent compartment is still closed. If the lid is already open, fill it with detergent again and close the lid.
• Select the programme you want and start it.

Timer

You can set the start time of a programme. The programme start time can be delayed for between 30 minutes and 24 hours.

With a start time delay between 30 minutes and 3 hours, the delay can be set in 30-minute increments. It is set in hours for periods longer than this.

With manual detergent dispensing, the detergent can clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and it may not be fully rinsed out.

When using the timer function, make sure that the detergent compartment is dry before adding detergent. Wipe it dry with a cloth first if necessary. Do not use liquid detergents. These can leak out.

Danger to health due to emergent.

To prevent children coming into contact with dishwasher detergent: Do not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the programme, i.e. before you activate the timer. Use the safety lock to secure the dishwasher door.

Activating the timer

• Switch the dishwasher on with the button.
  The Start indicator light will flash.
  Select the required programme.
  Press the Timer button.

The most recently set time will be shown in the time display. The Timer indicator light will light up.

• Set the required time after which the programme should start automatically using the button.

If the button is pressed and held, the time will increase automatically up to 24 hours. To start again with 0:30 hours, press the button twice.

Press the Start button.

The Start indicator will light up continuously.

After you have activated the timer, the display and the indicator lights will switch off after a few minutes to save energy.

Press the button to switch the time display back on again for a few minutes.

The time up until the programme starts can be seen counting down in the display in hours for durations above 10 hours, and in hours and minutes for durations below 10 hours.

At the end of the Delay start period, the programme selected will start automatically. The time left will appear in the time display and the Timer indicator light will go out.

Starting a programme before the time for the timer has elapsed:

A programme can be started before the time for the timer has elapsed. Proceed as follows:

• Switch the dishwasher off with the button.
• Switch the dishwasher back on with the button.
  Select the required programme.
  Press the Start button.

The programme will start. The Start indicator will light up continuously.

Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4-6 months). This way, faults and problems can be avoided.

Damage caused by unsuitable cleaning agents.

All surfaces of this appliance are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour all surfaces.

Only use cleaning agents formulated for use on the relevant surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.

If, despite this, limescale or grease deposits build up in the cabinet, these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner (available from Miele or the Miele webshop, see "Optional accessories - Appliance care"). Follow the instructions on the product packaging.

The frequent use of low-temperature wash programmes (< 50^) increases the risk of contamination and odours inside the wash cabinet. Run the Intensive 75^ programme once a month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odours from developing.

Clean the filters in the wash cabinet regularly.

Cleaning the door and the door seal

The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a result, mould can develop here.

Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits.
- Wipe off any food or drink residues which may have dripped onto the sides of the dishwasher door before closing it.

Cleaning the control panel

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

Cleaning the appliance front

Damage due to soiling.

Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour.

It is therefore best to remove any soiling immediately.

Clean the front with a soft sponge and a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid. After cleaning, wipe the front dry using a soft cloth.

A clean, damp microfibre cloth (such as the Original Miele all purpose microfibre cloth) without detergent can also be used.

To avoid damaging the external surfaces, do not use the following:

• cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides
• cleaning agents containing descaling agents
• abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners
• solvent-based cleaning agents
• stainless steel cleaning agents
  -dishwasher cleaners
• oven cleaners or sprays
  glass cleaning agents
• hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scourers, brushes, or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents
  -dirt eraser sponges
  sharp metal scrapers
• steel wool or metal scourers
• steam cleaners

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected regularly (approx. every 2-4 months).

Never run a wash programme without using the spray arms.

Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system.

Without filters, soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage.

Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters fitted.

When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.

Switch the dishwasher off.

Removing the cutlery tray (if present)

In order to be able to remove the upper spray arm, you first have to remove the cutlery tray (if present).

Pull out the cutlery tray.

Press the rail safety clips on both sides of the cutlery tray together ① and remove the safety clips ② at the same time.
Take out the cutlery tray completely.

Removing the upper spray arm

Push the upper spray arm upwards ① to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm by rotating the screw thread anti-clockwise (when viewed from below) ②

Removing the middle spray arm

• Rotate the screw thread of the middle spray arm clockwise (overhead perspective) ① (see diagram) and remove the spray arm ②.

Removing the lower spray arm

Remove the lower basket.

• Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm anti-clockwise ① and pull the spray arm upwards to remove ②.

Cleaning the spray arms

Use a pointed object to push food particles stuck in the jets into the spray arm.
- Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under running water.

Refitting the upper spray arm

• Reinstall the upper spray arm and tighten it by hand.

Refitting the middle spray arm

• Replace the middle spray arm and turn the screw thread anti-clockwise (overhead perspective) until it engages. Make sure that the recesses in the lock line up.

Refitting the lower spray arm

• Refit the lower spray arm and ensure that the filter combination lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

• Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol l .
  Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely.

Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system.

The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter combination.

Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage.

Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters fitted.

Inserting the cutlery tray (if present)

• Slide the cutlery tray back onto the rails from the front.
• Replace the safety clips in the rails on both sides of the cutlery tray.

Checking the filters in the wash cabinet

The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soiling from the suds solution. This prevents soiling getting into the circulation system and re-entering the wash cabinet through the spray arms.

Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system.

Without filters, soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage.

Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters fitted.

When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.

The filters can become clogged by soiling that collects over time. The level of soiling and the time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.

Monitor the condition of the filter combination regularly and clean it if necessary.

Cleaning the filters

Switch the dishwasher off.
- Remove the lower spray arm (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the spray arms").
Before removing the filter combination, remove any coarse soiling to prevent it from entering the circulation system.

Remove the filter combination.

In order to clean the inside of the filter, pull the microfilter downwards and away from the filter combination.
- Rinse all the parts under running water. If necessary, use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling.
Push the microfilter back onto the filter combination.
- Refit the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.
- Refit the lower spray arm to the filter combination using the screw thread.

• Rotate the screw thread clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol 1 .

Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system.

The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter combination.

Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage.

Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters fitted.

Cleaning the water inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw thread to protect the water inlet valve. If the filter is soiled, insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet.

Risk of electric shock.

The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical valve.

The housing must not be dipped in water.

• Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply.
  To do this, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug.
  Turn off the tap.
  Unscrew the water inlet valve.

Carefully remove the seal from the threaded union.
Using combination or pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar and remove the filter.
Rinse the filter under running water.
Reassemble in reverse order.

Screw the threaded union securely back onto the tap. Slowly turn on the tap. If water drips out, tighten the connection.

Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning.

Cleaning the drain pump

If water remains in the wash cabinet after the end of a programme, the water has not been pumped away. The drain pump may be blocked by foreign objects. These foreign objects are easy to remove.

• Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply.
  To do this, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug.
  Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the filters").
• Scoop the water out of the wash cabinet using a suitable container or utensil.

Press the catch of the drain pump cover inwards ①.
Tip the cover inwards until it is released ②.
- Rinse the cover thoroughly under running water and remove all foreign objects.

The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover.

Risk of injury from glass splinters.

It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump.

Take care when cleaning the drain pump.

• Carefully remove all foreign objects from the drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.
• Refit the cover in the reverse order of removing it.

Ensure that the catch engages correctly.

Damage caused by incorrect cleaning.

The components are delicate and can be damaged during cleaning. Take care when cleaning the drain pump.

Many malfunctions and minor faults that can occur in daily operation can be corrected without contacting Miele. This will save you time and money because you will not need a service call.

Build-up of odours in the wash cabinet.	The frequent use of low-temperature wash programmes (< 50 °C) increases the risk of contamination and odours inside the wash cabinet. ■ Regularly run a high-temperature programme. This is to prevent the build-up of residues and odours.

Noises

Problem	Possible cause and remedy
Knocking noise in the wash cabinet.	A spray arm is knocking against a crockery piece. ■ Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash items that are obstructing the spray arm.
Rattling noise in the wash cabinet.	Items of crockery are not secure in the wash cabinet. ■ Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash items so that they sit securely.
	There is a foreign object (e.g. glass shard) in the drain pump. ■ Remove the foreign object from the drain pump (see “Cleaning and care - Cleaning the drain pump”).
Knocking noise in the water pipes.	This may be caused by the on-site installation or the cross-section of the piping. ■ However, this will not affect the functioning of the dishwasher in any way. If in doubt, contact a suitably qualified plumber.

Unsatisfactory cleaning result

Problem	Possible cause and remedy
The crockery is not clean.	The items were not loaded correctly. ■ See notes under “Loading the dishwasher”.
	The programme was not thorough enough. ■ Select a more intensive programme (see “Programme chart”). ■ Activate the Extra clean function (see “Programme options – Extra clean”). ■ Activate the “2nd interim rinse” programme option (see “Programme options – 2nd interim rinse”).
	Not enough detergent was dispensed during manual detergent dispensing. ■ Use more detergent, or change your detergent.
	Items are blocking the path of the spray arms. ■ Carry out a rotation check and, if needed, rearrange the items so that the spray arms can rotate freely.
	The filter combination in the wash cabinet is not clean or was incorrectly installed. This may have caused the spray arm jets to become blocked. ■ Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly. ■ Clean the spray arm jets if necessary (see “Cleaning and care – Cleaning the spray arms”).
There are smears on glassware and cutlery. There is a bluish sheen on the surface of glassware. The film can be wiped off.	The rinse aid dosage is set too high. ■ Reduce the dosage (see “Using for the first time – Rinse aid”).
Dishes are not dry or cutlery and glasses are blotchy.	The amount of rinse aid may be insufficient, or the rinse aid reservoir is empty. ■ Replenish the rinse aid, increase the dosage, or change the brand of rinse aid (see “Using for the first time - Rinse aid”).
	Dishes were taken out of the wash cabinet too soon. ■ Leave dishes in longer (see “Operation - Unloading the dishwasher”).
	The duration of the drying phase for the selected programme is not sufficient for the crockery (particularly for plastic crockery). ■ Select the Extra dry programme option (see “Programme options – Extra dry”).
	You have used combination products that have insufficient drying performance. ■ Switch to another detergent or add rinse aid (see “Using for the first time - Rinse aid”).
Glassware has a brown or blue tinge. The film cannot be wiped off.	Ingredients from the detergent have formed a deposit. ■ Switch to another detergent straight away.
Glassware is dull and discoloured. The film cannot be wiped off.	The glassware is not dishwasher safe. The surface has altered. ■ There is no remedy. Purchase glassware which is dishwasher safe.
Tea or lipstick stains have not been completely removed.	The wash temperature of the selected programme was too low. ■ Select a programme with a higher wash temperature.
	The bleaching effect of the detergent is too low. ■ Change your detergent.
Plastic items are discoloured.	Natural dyes, e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or tomato sauce may be the cause. The amount of detergent used or its bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with natural dyes. ■ Use more detergent (see “Detergents”). Parts that are already discoloured will not revert to their original colour.

Problem solving guide

Problem	Possible cause and remedy
White residue is visible on the dishware. Clouding has occurred on glassware and cutlery. The film can be wiped off.	Not enough rinse aid was added. ■Increase the dosage (see “Using for the first time – Rinse aid”).
	The salt reservoir is empty. ■Fill the salt reservoir (see “Using for the first time - Dishwasher salt”).
	The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on correctly. ■Replace it, making sure that it screws back on correctly.
	Unsuitable combination detergents were used. ■Change your detergent. If using tabs or powder detergent, do not choose combination products and ensure you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid.
	The water softener is programmed to a setting which is too low for the water hardness level. ■Programme the water softener to a higher water hardness level (see “Using for the first time – Water softener”).
There are rust stains on cutlery.	The affected items are not corrosion resistant. ■There is no remedy. Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher safe.

The Miele Waterproof system

Provided that your dishwasher has been installed correctly, the Miele Waterproof system will protect you from water damage throughout its lifetime.

Water inlet

Danger to health due to wash water.

Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water.

Do not drink any water from the dishwasher.

Health risk and risk of damage due to contaminated incoming water. The quality of the water used must correspond to the drinking water specification of the country in which the dishwasher is being operated. Connect the dishwasher to a drinking water supply.

The dishwasher may be connected to cold or hot water (up to max. 60^ ). If energy-saving water-heating sources, such as a solar water heating system, are used, we recommend connecting to the hot water supply. This saves both time and electricity costs. Hot water is used in all programmes.

The water inlet hose is approximately 1.5m long.

A tap with a 3 / 4" male thread must be provided on site. If this type of tap is not available, only a qualified plumber may connect the dishwasher to the household water supply.

The dishwasher must be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with current local and national safety regulations.

The water connection pressure needs to be between 50 and 1000kPa . If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted.

Risk of damage from leaking water.

The threaded union is subject to water pressure. Water leaking from it can cause damage.

Turn on the tap slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the seal and union if necessary.

Risk of damage due to excessive pressure.

A brief increase in the water pressure can damage components of the dishwasher.

This dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.

Risk of electric shock from mains voltage.

There are electrical components in the water inlet hose.

The water inlet hose must not be shortened or damaged in any way (see illustration).

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. 1.5m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22mm .

The hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4m and the delivery head no higher than 1m .

If the hose is to be directly connected to the drainage outlet on site, use the supplied hose clip (see the installation plan).

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 hose diameters. If the connector extends too far into the drain hose, it must be shortened. Otherwise, the drain hose can become clogged.

The drain hose must not be shortened.

Lay the drain hose so that it does not kink and is not being subjected to pressure or being tugged.

Risk of damage from leaking water.

Overflowing water can cause damage.

After using the appliance for the first time, make sure that the water drain does not leak.

Venting the water drainage

If the on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide for the rollers of the lower basket in the door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise, a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the appliance to empty itself of water.

Open the dishwasher door fully.

Remove the lower basket.
Insert a screwdriver into the middle opening of the vent valve in the left wash cabinet wall ①.
Press the screwdriver further into the opening and push it through the membrane ② behind.

The vent opening for the water drain is now open.

Electrical connection

The dishwasher is supplied with a mains connection cable with moulded plug ready for connection to an earthed socket.

The socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher has been installed. If the switch is not accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles.

Risk of fire from overheating.

Connecting the dishwasher to a multi-socket plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable.

Do not use an extension lead or multi-socket plug adapter.

The electrical installation and all electrical work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. For extra safety, it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30mA . Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after the installation has been completed. Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket.

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent technician or by a Miele authorised service technician, in order to avoid a hazard.

For technical data, see the data plate located on the right side of the door. Compare this information with the data of the on-site electrical connection. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems.

The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
