The displayed duration may vary for the same program. It is influenced by, for example, the temperature of the incoming water, the reactivation cycle of the water softener, the detergent type, and the number of dishes and how soiled they are.
When a program is selected for the first time, the display will show the average program duration for a cold water connection.
The program durations shown under “Program overview” refer to standard test loads and temperatures.
Each time a program is run, the control module calculates the program duration required depending on the temperature of the water taken into the dishwasher and the amount of dishes.
If necessary, confirm the previously displayed message with OK.
The in-operation indicator light comes on to show that a program has been started.
If you do not close the door within 4 seconds, the message Continue with OK will appear in the display. The program cannot be started until you confirm the message by pressing the OK button and close the door within 4 seconds.
During a program sequence, you can use OK to display the name of the program that is currently running when the door is open.
WARNING: Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation, only open the door with extreme caution.
At the end of a program, the in-operation indicator light will be flashing slowly with the door shut. The audible signal may also be sounding.
The in-operation indicator light will go out 10 minutes after the end of the program if the door is closed.
The program has ended when the display shows the message
Ready.
In some programs, if the AutoOpen function is activated, the door will automatically open slightly (see “AutoOpen” under “Settings”). This improves the drying process.
The drying fan may continue to run for a few minutes at the end of the program.
WARNING: Risk of damage due to steam. Steam from the dishwasher could damage the edges of delicate countertops when you open the door at the end of the program if the fan is no longer running. If you have deactivated the automatic door opening function (see “AutoOpen” under “Settings”), but would still like to open the door at the end of the program, then make sure that you open the door fully.
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 program.

Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4– 6 months). This helps to avoid faults and problems.
WARNING: Damage due to unsuitable cleaning agents. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolor all surfaces. Only use cleaning agents formulated for use on the relevant surfaces.
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 the Miele Customer Service or Miele's online store). Follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
The frequent use of low-temperature wash programs increases the risk of contamination and odors inside the wash cabinet. Run the Pots & Pans program once per month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odors from developing.
The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a result, mold can develop here.
The reflector panel for the in-operation indicator light is situated on the cover sheeting underneath the countertop.
Cleaning the front of the machine
Damage due to soiling. Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolor.
It is therefore best to remove any soiling immediately.
A clean, damp microfiber cloth without detergent can also be used.
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).
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 program without the lower spray arm or the filters. When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.
Removing the upper and middle spray arms
Take out the 3D MultiFlex Tray (if your dishwasher is fitted with one).

.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 program without the lower spray arm or without the filters.
The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil 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 program without the lower spray arm or without the filters.
When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system. The filters can become blocked by soiling that collects over time. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.
The message Check filters will appear in the display after every 50 program sequences.
If water remains in the wash cabinet after the end of a program, the water has not been pumped away. The drain pump may be blocked by foreign objects. These foreign objects are easy to remove.

Water intake
The dishwasher may be connected to cold or hot water (up to max. 150°F/65°C) supplies.
We recommend connecting to a cold water supply to reduce energy consumption.
If energy-saving water heating sources, such as solar energy circulation systems, are used, we recommend connecting to the hot water. This saves both time and electrical energy costs.
Hot water is used in all programs.
The EnergySaver program (if available) requires a hot water connection of between a minimum of 115°F/45°C and a maximum of 150°F/65°C (intake temperature).
The higher the water intake temperature, the better the cleaning and drying results. The intake hose is approx. 5 ft (1.5 m) long. A 5 ft (1.5 m) long, flexible metal extension hose (tested to 2,030 psi/14,000 kPa) is available as an optional accessory from Miele specialist retailers or Miele Customer Service.
A faucet with a 3/8" GHT connection must be provided on site. If this type of faucet is not available, only a qualified installer may connect the dishwasher to the domestic water supply.
A back-flow preventer is not required by the manufacture, but may be required by local code regulations.
The water-connection pressure needs to be between 7.25 and 145 psi (50 and 1,000 kPa). If the water-connection pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be fitte
The appliance drainage system has a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose.
The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 5 ft (1.5 m) of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).
The hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 13 ft (4 m) and the delivery head no higher than 3 ft (1 m).
If the hose is to be directly connected to the drainage outlet on site, use the supplied hose clip (see the installation diagram).
The hose can be directed to the left or the right of the appliance.
The on-site connector for the drain hose can be used for various hose diameters. If the connector extends too far into the drain hose, it must be shortened. Otherwise, the drain hose can become clogged.
Only use a Miele approved connection piece when extending the drain line. Only use a Miele extension drain hose.
The drain hose must not be shortened.
If the on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide path for the lower basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise, a siphoning effect during a program can cause the appliance to empty itself of water.
