en - Warning and Safety instructions Correct installation Do not install this dishwasher in an area where there is a risk of explosion or freezing conditions. To ensure stability a built-under dishwasher must only be installed beneath a continuous worktop that is bolted to the adjacent cabinetry. In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the furniture in the area around the dishwasher should ideally be designed for commercial use. Furniture can be protected using the vapour protection set, which is available as an optional accessory. The vapour barrier film should be stuck under the worktop in the area around the dishwasher door. Technical safety This dishwasher must only be commissioned, repaired and maintained by the Miele Customer Service Department, a dealer or a suitably qualified service technician. Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Before using the dishwasher, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not use a damaged dishwasher. This could be dangerous. In the event of a damaged or leaking dishwasher, switch off at the power supply immediately and call the Miele Customer Service Department, a Miele dealer or a suitably qualified service technician. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the correct functioning and safety of the appliance. The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician. Please follow the advice on installation in these operating instructions and the installation plan. Before connecting the appliance, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage, frequency and fuse rating) match the mains electrical supply. There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug. See “Electrical connection”. Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply via a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Never open the casing of the dishwasher. Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the dishwasher will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. The dishwasher must not be used if the electrical connection cable is damaged. A damaged connection cable may only be replaced by a suitable connection cable of the same type. For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by the Miele Customer Service Department or a qualified service technician.

en - Warning and Safety instructions The dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out. The plastic housing of the water connection contains electrical components. It must not be dipped in water. There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not shorten the water inlet hose, even if it is too long. Correct use This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and detergents suitable for use in commercial dishwashers only. Organic solvents and flammable liquid agents must not be used in it. This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components in the dishwasher and cause liquids to leak out of it. Only use detergents formulated for use in commercial dishwashers. Unsuitable detergents could adversely affect components of the dishwasher or the load items. Do not sit, stand or lean on the opened door. This would tip or damage the dishwasher. After any plumbing work the water pipework to the dishwasher will need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be damaged. Please be aware that the dishwasher may be operating at high temperatures. When the door is opened there is a danger of burning or scalding. Items, baskets and inserts must be allowed to cool down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining in containers could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash chamber before taking them out. The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water. Pre-treating items (for example with washing-up liquid and other cleaning agents) as well as some types of soiling and some cleaning agents can cause a build-up of foam in the wash cabinet. Foam can have an adverse effect on the cleaning result. Foam escaping from the wash cabinet can cause damage to the dishwasher. If foam escapes the programme must be cancelled immediately and the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electrical supply. There may be a risk of slipping if liquid is spilt on the floor depending on the type of flooring and footwear being worn. Keep the floor dry where possible and take care to clean up any liquid spills straight away. Take the necessary precautions when cleaning up hazardous substances and hot liquids. When using cleaning agents and specialised products, it is essential that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed. Cleaning agents must only be used for the purpose they are designed for by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong chemical reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion). To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids or solutions containing chloride to get into the wash cabinet or onto the casing. Similarly avoid any ferrous materials with a corrosive effect. Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the dishwasher. Do not clean the dishwasher or near vicinity with a hose or a pressure washer.

en - Warning and Safety instructions Ensure that the outer casing of the machine does not come into contact with solutions or steam containing acid to avoid any corrosion damage. Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and positioning them in the dishwasher that you do not hurt yourself or create a danger for others. Sharp knives, forks, etc. should be placed in baskets with the pointed ends facing downwards. The grille of dishwashers with active drying must not be blocked or sealed. Accessories Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with this dishwasher. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee and Miele cannot accept liability. Only use Miele baskets and inserts with this dishwasher. Using baskets and inserts made by other manufacturers, or making modifications to Miele accessories can cause unsatisfactory cleaning results, for which Miele cannot be held liable. Any resultant damage would not be covered by the guarantee.

en - Opening and closing the door Open the door Danger of scalding, burning and chemical burns! If the door is opened during a programme sequence, hot water and process chemicals can escape. The programme in progress is also interrupted and, under certain circumstances, even cancelled. Only open the door when no programmes are running. The dishwasher control panel also serves as a door handle. Grasp the handle underneath the control panel and pull the door down to open it.

Closing the door Make sure that no objects or load items protrude into the closing area of the door. Risk of injury caused by crushing. Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing. Risk of crushing. Raise the door upwards until the catch en- gages. en - Filling the container for dishwasher salt Filling the salt container Filling the salt reservoir Use only special, coarse-grained salt with a granula size of approx. 1- 4 mm. Do not under any circumstances use other types of salt such as table salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener. Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with cleaning agent will cause serious damage to the water softener. Before filling the salt container make sure that you have picked up the right packet of reactivation salt. Add salt into the container until the funnel is full but still closes easily. The salt container will take approx. 2 kg of salt on the first fill depending on the degree of coarseness. Subsequent refills may take less salt, as there may still be salt remaining in the container. If there is water present in the container, it may be forced out by the added salt. Clean any excess salt from around the container opening and the seal surrounding it, and then close the flap. To avoid corrosion in the wash cabinet, When filling the salt container, only open the door halfway to ensure that all the salt gets into the container. run the Cold programme (without any load items) immediately after refilling the salt container. This will dilute and rinse away any remaining traces of salt. Press the open button on the lid of the salt container in the direction of the arrow. The flap will spring open. Open the funnel. Do not pour any water into the salt container!

en - Cleaning agent and rinsing agent Dispensing systems Depending on the model, dishwashers are equipped with multiple dispensing systems for process chemicals: - Cleaning agent Filling the door dispenser Risk to health due to dust production. When dispensing powder cleaning agents and tablets, dust from fine cleaning agents can be stirred up. If this dust gets into the mouth, throat or eyes, it can cause irritation or burns. When dispensing powder cleaning agents and tablets, avoid the production of dust as much as possible. Cleaning agent can be dispensed in powder form, as a tablet or in liquid form. Powder cleaning agent and tablets are dispensed via the door dispenser with the symbol. Depending on the model, liquid cleaning agent is dispensed either Add powder cleaning agent or a tablet to via an internal dispensing system or via an the powder cleaning agent dispenser before external dispensing module (DOS modevery wash programme (except Super Short, ule). Cold, Reactivation and Drain). Follow the tips on the Super Short programme. - Rinsing agent Depending on the model, rinsing agent can be dispensed via the door dispenser with the symbol or via an external dispensing module (DOS module). External dispensing modules (DOS modules) can be retrofitted at any time by the Miele Customer Service Department, provided that corresponding DOS module connections are available. Cleaning agent Only use cleaning agent suitable for commercial dishwashers. Suitable products are available from the Miele Professional product range. Cleaning agent can be dispensed in powder form, as a tablet or in liquid form. Powder cleaning agent and tablets are dispensed via the door dispenser with the symbol. Only use cleaning agent tablets that are quick dissolving. Suitable tablets are available from the Miele Professional product range.

Press the yellow button on the dispenser container with the symbol. The flap will spring open. The flap is always open at the end of a programme run. The level markers in the powder container with the door in the horizontal position indicate the fill level in millilitres (ml). The max. capacity is approx. 60 ml of cleaning agent. The amount in ml equates to approx. the amount normally recommended in grams (g) for proprietary powder cleaning agents. Powder density (grain size) can affect this amount. Dispensing example: Approx. 8,5 litres of water are taken into the machine for the main wash. With a cleaning agent concentration of approx. 3 g/l, you will need approx. 25 g of cleaning agent. Please observe manufacturer’s recommendations, which may vary! en - Cleaning agent and rinsing agent Tips for the Super Short programme (depending on the model) With the Super Short programme, the final rinse water is not pumped away at the end of the programme in order to achieve short programme running times in continuous use. Cleaning agent cannot be rinsed out of the dispenser during the short programme time. Add the cleaning agent to the dispenser. If liquid cleaning agent dispensing is not being used, add powder cleaning agent directly onto the inside of the door. Close the flap. Make sure that all of the cleaning agent has dissolved at the end of the programme. Repeat the programme if residual cleaning agent is present. Check whether any load items have prevented the flushing out of the dispenser container and rearrange the load items if necessary. To avoid corrosion or discolouration, start the wash programme immediately after dispensing cleaning agent directly onto the inside of the door. Liquid cleaning agent is dispensed from an external canister via a suction lance. Depending on the model, liquid cleaning agent is dispensed either via an internal dispensing pump or via an external dispensing module. Dispensing modules are connected by the Miele Customer Service Department and can be retrofitted at any time.

en - Cleaning agent and rinsing agent Replacing the canister Rinsing agent Place the liquid cleaning agent container Rinsing agent is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on load items, and to help load items dry faster after the final rinse. (note the colour marking) on the open wash cabinet door or on a surface which is robust and easy to clean. Take the lid off the canister and remove the suction lance. Place the suction lance on the open wash cabinet door. Replace the empty container with a full one. The rinsing agent concentration must be adjusted in the following circumstances: - If there are spots of water left on load items after reprocessing, then the dispensing concentration is set too low. - If clouding or smearing appears on load items, the dispensing concentration is set too high. The rinsing agent is dispensed in the Final rinse programme stage. The container needs to be filled for this purpose. Filling the door dispenser Push the suction lance into the opening of the container and secure the lid. Observe the colour coding. Feed the suction lance into the container until it reaches the bottom. Never add cleaning agent. This will always destroy the rinsing agent container! Only fill the rinsing agent container with rinsing agent for commercial dishwashers. Open the door fully. Wipe up any spilled process chemical thoroughly. Unscrew the yellow lid with the symbol in the direction of the arrow. The container holds approx. 300 ml.

en - Cleaning agent and rinsing agent Refill indicator When the fill level in the rinsing agent container is low, you are reminded to refill the dispenser container, e.g.:

Information Fill rinse aid into door dispenser.

Only add rinsing agent as far as the “max.” mark on the edge of the funnel. Confirm the prompt with OK and top up the rinsing agent as described. Fill the dispensing path (see “Machine functions”) Close the container. Wipe up any spilled rinsing agent thor- oughly. This prevents over-foaming during the next programme. Alternatively, you can start the Cold programme to rinse off any spilled rinsing agent.
