Correct application
10
This appliance complies with all current local and national safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
Read the Operating instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first
time. They contain important information on the safety, installation, use and
maintenance of the appliance. You will prevent the risk of accidents and
damage to the commercial dishwasher. Keep these instructions in a safe place
and pass them on to any future owner.
It is suitable for use in domestic households and in similar
residential environments, for example by customers in hotels,
motels, bed and breakfasts and other related establishments.
The commercial dishwasher is hereafter called a dishwasher in
these operating instructions.
Glasses, cutlery and crockery are referred to generally as crockery
when not more specifically defined.
This dishwasher is not suitable for continuous operation.
This dishwasher is not suitable for the reprocessing of medical
products or devices.
This dishwasher is designed exclusively for use as a “dishwasher”
for cleaning crockery, glassware and cutlery as described in these
instructions. Alterations or conversions to the dishwasher, or using it
for purposes other than those for which it is designed, are not
permitted and could be dangerous.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
This dishwasher is intended for stationary, indoor use only.
The special inserts should only be used for their specific
application.
This dishwasher cannot be used by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge,
unless they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the
consequences of incorrect operation.
Correct application
11
The dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended, i.e. the

Warning and Safety instructions
12
Correct installation
Do not install this dishwasher in an area where there is a risk of
explosion or freezing conditions.
Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protective
gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.
To ensure the stability of built-under dishwashers, they 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 be designed for
commercial use.
The door springs on either side need to be evenly adjusted. They
are correctly adjusted if the half-opened door (approx. 45° door
opening angle) remains in this position when it is released. The door
must not fall down under its own weight. The dishwasher may only
be used with correctly adjusted door springs.
Technical safety
This dishwasher must only be installed, commissioned, repaired
and maintained by Miele Professional Service or a suitably qualified
service technician. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and Miele will not be held liable.
In the case of commercial dishwashers, they must only be
operated by appropriately trained personnel. They must be
instructed and trained regularly.
Before using the dishwasher, check it for any externally visible
damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged
appliance. A damaged appliance could be dangerous.
In the event of a damaged or leaking dishwasher, switch off at the
mains immediately and call Miele Professional Service or a suitably
qualified service technician.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele
guarantee the safety standards of the appliance.
The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested
by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
Please follow the advice on installation in these instructions and
the separate Installation diagram.
Before connecting the dishwasher, ensure that the connection
data on the data plate (voltage, frequency and fuse rating) match the

There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. There
is a danger of overheating and risk of fire if the dishwasher were to
be pushed up against a plug. See “Electrical connection”.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply by
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 appliance. Tampering with electrical
connections or components and mechanical parts is highly
dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
The dishwasher must not be used if the electrical connection
cable is damaged. If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced with
a special cable available from Miele. For safety reasons, the
replacement must only be carried out by Miele Professional Service
or a qualified electrician.
This dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
The plastic housing of the water connection contains two
electrical components. It must not be dipped in water.
There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the
hose, even if it is too long.
The integrated Waterproof 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
where it can be seen that this is necessary,
– the tap has been turned off during longer periods of inactivity (e.g.
whilst on holiday).
– Only use new hose set supplied with the appliance. Old hose sets
should not be re-used.
The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is
switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to
the electricity supply.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
Correct use
This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and cleaning
agents suitable for use in 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 cleaning agents which are suitable for use in a
dishwasher. Unsuitable cleaning agents could adversely affect
components of the dishwasher or the items being cleaned.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip
over it and be injured by it.
Do not sit, stand or lean on the opened door. The dishwasher may
tip or be damaged.
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. Crockery, cutlery, 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 cabinet
before taking them out.
The water in the wash 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 machine must be disconnected from the mains
electrical supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
16
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).
Do not inhale or ingest powder cleaning agent. Do not swallow
dishwasher cleaning agents. They can cause burning in the nose,
mouth and throat. Seek medical attention immediately if cleaning
agent has been swallowed or inhaled.
Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be
extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and
and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the
wash cycle.
Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical cleaning
agents may have on the material of the items being cleaned.
Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions with regard
to storage conditions, use and dosage.
To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids
or solutions containing chloride to get into the wash cabinet.
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 hose the dishwasher or near vicinity down to clean it, e.g.
with a hose or a pressure washer.
The appliance must not be cleaned with a water jet.
Ensure that the stainless steel outer casing of the appliance does
not come into contact with solutions or steam containing acid to
avoid any corrosion damage.
Warning and Safety instructions
17
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. Knives and other utensils with sharp
points must be loaded with the pointed end facing downwards or
placed in a horizontal position.
Remove any coarse food deposits and empty out any containers
or utensils before loading them in the dishwasher.
Safety with children
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher. Do
not let children play with the dishwasher. There is a danger that
children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
If the automatic door opening mechanism is active, 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.
Keep children away from chemical agents. These contain irritant
and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth and
throat, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher
when the door is open. There could still be residual process
chemicals in the cabinet. Seek medical advice immediately if a child
has swallowed or inhaled chemical agents.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers
are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept
liability.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.
Caring for the environment
18
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.
Caring for the environment
19
Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity.
You can make the most of your
appliance by following these tips:
– For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
– Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
– Select the ECO programme for
energy-saving dishwashing. This
programme is the most efficient in
terms of its combined energy and
water consumption at cleaning
normally soiled crockery.
– Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
– When using powder or liquid
detergent you can use
1
/
3
less
detergent if baskets are only half full.
You can find further tips on energy-
saving dishwashing in “Miele's guide
to dishwashing”.

The display will change to the screen
for setting the water hardness.
– The dishwasher must 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°d - German scale), always
programme the dishwasher to the
higher value (2.7mmol/l or 15°d in
this example).
In the event of a fault, it will help the
service technician if you know the
hardness of your local water supply.
Enter the water hardness below:
____________mmol/l
The dishwasher is programmed at the

Commissioning
23
Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:
– approx. 2 litres of water,
– approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,
– detergent for commercial
dishwashers,
– rinse aid for commercial
dishwashers.
Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory. There will be residual water in
the appliance from this test. It is not
an indication that it has been used
previously.
Dishwasher salt
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in a build-up of calcium deposits
on crockery and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7mmol/l (4°d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
the dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 6.5mmol/l
(36°d - German scale).
The water softener requires reactivation
salt.
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 0.9mmol/l
(5°d - German scale), you do not
have to add dishwasher salt. The
prompt to add salt will be switched off
automatically.
Dishwasher detergent will
damage the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, or
pure evaporated salt.
Other salts (e.g. cooking salt,
agricultural grade or gritting salt) may
contain insoluble additives which can
impair the functioning of the water
softener.
Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.
Commissioning
24
Filling the salt reservoir
Before filling the salt reservoir with
dishwasher salt for the first time, you
must fill it with approx. 2litres of
water to enable the salt to dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used,
there is always sufficient water in the
reservoir.
Remove the lower basket and
unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Water or saline solution will run out
of the reservoir when the cap is
removed.
It should therefore only be removed
in order to refill the salt reservoir.
Fill the reservoir with approx.2litres
of water (first use only).
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
dishwasher salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds approx.
2kg of salt depending on the brand
used.
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again firmly.
Immediately after filling the salt
reservoir, run the Cold pre-wash
programme without any crockery in
the dishwasher to remove any traces
of salt from the cabinet.
Commissioning
25
Add salt reminder
Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt for reactivation when Add salt
appears in the display (If it appears
during a programme, wait until the
end of the programme).
Confirm with OK.
The refill reminder will go out.
Risk of corrosion!
Immediately after filling the salt
reservoir, run the Cold pre-wash
programme without any crockery in
the dishwasher to remove any traces
of salt from the 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. If this is
the case, confirm again with OK.
The refill reminder will be switched off if
you have programmed the dishwasher
for a water hardness below 0.9mmol/l
(5°d - German scale).
If you do not want the refill reminders
to appear, you can switch off both
refill reminders for salt and rinse aid if
you wish (see “Settings menu -
Switching off the refill reminders”).
Commissioning
26
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling to and leave marks on
crockery during the drying phase and
helps crockery dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically.
Fill the reservoir with rinse aid for
commercial dishwashers only. Do
not fill it with washing-up liquid or
cleaning agent.
This would damage the rinse aid
reservoir.
Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.
Alternatively, you can use
– household vinegar with an acid level
no higher than 5%
or
– 10% liquid citric acid.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
will not be as good as when rinse aid is
used.
Do not use vinegar with a high
acidic level (e.g. vinegar concentrate
25%)
This may damage the dishwasher.
Adding rinse aid
Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
Commissioning
27
Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
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.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for best results (see “Settings menu -
Rinse aid”).
Add rinse aid reminder
When the Add rinse aid message
appears in the display, the reservoir
contains sufficient rinse aid for 2-3
programmes only.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
Confirm with OK.
The add rinse aid reminder disappears.
If you do not want the salt and rinse
aid reminders to appear, you can
switch off both refill reminders for salt
and rinse aid if you wish (see “Settings
menu - Switching off the refill
reminders”).
Loading the dishwasher
28
Notes
Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.
There is no need to rinse items under
running water.
Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or
paint in the dishwasher. Ash does
not dissolve and is distributed in the
wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating
grease and paint cause damage to
the dishwasher.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in
the baskets, but the following notes
should be observed:
– Do not place crockery and cutlery
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
– Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that
they get properly cleaned.
– Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the
basket.
– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the centre of the basket to
ensure better water coverage.
– 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 which are too tall or hang
through the baskets. If in doubt, 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, e.g. lids, should
therefore be placed in the cutlery tray
or cutlery basket (depending on
model).
Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or
tomato sauce. Plastic items in the
dishwasher may discolour if large
quantities of these foodstuffs find
their way into the dishwasher on the
crockery. The stability of plastic
items is not affected by this
discolouration.
Cleaning silver cutlery in the
dishwasher may also cause plastic
items to discolour.
Loading the dishwasher
29
Items not suitable for dishwashers:
– Wooden cutlery and crockery or
items with wooden parts: these may
discolour and fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof
and wooden handles may come
loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
and decorative glassware are also
not suitable for dishwashers.
– Plastic items which are not heat-
resistant: the high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to
melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items may discolour or become matt.
– Colours painted over a glaze may
fade after a number of washes.
– Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal: clouding may
occur over time.
Please note
Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or
spotted at the end of a programme,
where water has not run off smoothly. It
may need to be rubbed dry with a soft
cloth.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions,
mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish
brine and marinades.
Aluminium components (e.g.
rangehood grease filters) must not be
cleaned with caustic alkaline
commercial or industrial cleaning
agents.
These may damage the material, or
in extreme cases, there is a risk of a
severe explosive chemical reaction
(such as an explosive oxyhydrogen
gas reaction).
Useful tip: When purchasing new
crockery and cutlery, make sure they
are dishwasher-proof.
Glass care
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. When washing
delicate glassware in the dishwasher,
ensure that only a special glass care
programme with very low
temperatures (see Programme chart)
is selected. This will reduce the risk of
clouding.
– Purchase glassware which is
dishwasher-safe (e.g. Riedel
glassware).
– Use detergents with glass protective
additives.

Detergent dosage
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 25g
detergent to compartmentII,
depending on the level of soiling.
With very heavy soiling you can also
add a small amount of detergent to
compartmentl (see “Programme
chart”).
Failure to dispense the
recommended amount of detergent
may impair cleaning results.
Liquid detergent
This dishwasher can be fitted with an
external dispenser pump for liquid
detergent (DOS module).
See “Settings menu - External
dispensing” to activate the dispenser
pump and set the cleaning agent
dosage.
For special soiling or if using liquid
detergent dispensed by a liquid
detergent pump, contact Miele for
advice on how to adapt the detergent
dosage to the particular
circumstances.
Cleaning agents containing
active chlorine must not be used.
They can damage the elastomers
and plastics of the dishwasher.
Operation
41
Refilling or changing containers
The DOS module is equipped with a
level indicator which shows the
message Refill detergent in the display
when the level drops below the
minimum.
As soon as the message appears in
the display, refill or replace the
container with a full one at the end of
the programme.
Confirm the message shown with the
OK button.
Replace the container in good time
to prevent the dispensing system
being emptied completely.

Time display
The estimated 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.
Each programme stage is indicated by
a symbol:
Pre-wash / Soak
Main wash
Interim rinse
Final rinse
Drying
Finish
The programme duration displayed may
vary with the same programme. It is
influenced by, among other things, the
water temperature at each intake, the
reactivation process of the water
softener and the amount of crockery.
The times shown in the Programme
chart refer to standard test loads and
temperatures.
Each time a programme is run, the
electronic unit calculates the
programme duration required according
to the temperature of the water taken

To save energy, the dishwasher will
switch off automatically a few minutes
after the last time a button has been
pressed or after the end of a
programme.
Press the button to switch the
dishwasher back on.
The dishwasher will not switch off
automatically if the time of day display
has been activated (see “Settings menu
- Time of day”).
The dishwasher will not switch off
whilst a programme or the FlexiTimer
is running or if there is a fault.
Operation
46
At the end of the programme
The programme has finished when
Finished appears in the display and
the door has opened slightly (if
applicable).
The drying fan may continue to run for
a few minutes at the end of the
programme.
Open the door fully so that the door
catch rail retracts again.
You can now empty the dishwasher.
If you have deactivated the
automatic door opening function (see
“Settings menu - AutoOpen”), but
would still like to open the door at
the end of the programme, then
make sure that you open the door
fully.
Otherwise steam from the
dishwasher could damage the edge
of the worktop because the fan is no
longer running.
Switching off
At the end of a programme:
The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the button.
Switching the dishwasher off during a
programme cancels the programme.
Switching the dishwasher off during the
run-up to a Delay start time (FlexiTimer)
will also stop the process.
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.
If you open the door fully after switching
off, the dishes will cool much faster.
First unload the lower basket, then the
upper basket and finally the cutlery tray
(depending on model).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and cutlery tray from
falling onto the dishes in the lower
basket.
Operation
47
Interrupting a programme
A programme is 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.
Water in the dishwasher may be
hot. Danger of scalding!
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. Then raise the door
up and push until the catch engages.

Maintenance
To prolong the service life of the
dishwasher, it should be serviced by
Miele.
Please contact Miele for information
regarding frequency and scope of
maintenance performed by Miele.
Maintenance covers the following:
– Electrical safety according to national
regulations
– Door mechanism and door seal
– Any screw connections and
connectors in the wash cabinet
– Water inlet and drainage
– Internal and external dispensing
systems
– Spray arms
– Filter combination
– Sump including drain pump and non-
return valve
– All baskets and inserts
The following operational tests will be
carried out as part of the maintenance:
– A programme will be run as a test run
– Seals will be tested for water
tightness
– All relevant measuring systems will
be safety tested, including fault
displays
– Safety features
Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every 4-6months). This way
faults and problems can be avoided.
All surfaces of this appliance are
susceptible to scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour all
surfaces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-
cleaning, provided that the correct
amount of detergent is always used.
If there are nevertheless limescale or
grease deposits in the cabinet, these
can be removed with a special cleaning
agent (available from Miele or at
shop.miele.com). Follow the dosage
recommended by the manufacturer on
the packaging.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Cleaning and care
56
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
Mould could build up on the door seal
and the sides of the dishwasher door as
these surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and so not accessed and
cleaned by the spray arm jets.
Wipe off any food or drink residues
which may have dripped onto the
sides and seals of the dishwasher
door with a damp cloth before
closing it.
Cleaning the door front
Soiling that is left too long might
become impossible to remove and
could cause external surfaces to alter
or discolour.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Clean the front with a solution of
warm water and a little washing-up
liquid applied with a soft sponge.
Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.
For cleaning, you can also use a
clean, damp microfibre cloth, such as
the Original Miele all purpose
microfibre cloth, without any cleaning
agent.
To avoid damaging external surfaces,
do not use:
– 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 cleaner,
– oven cleaner,
– 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 erasers,
– sharp metal scrapers,
– steel wool or metal scourers,
– steam cleaning appliances.
Cleaning and care
57
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray
arms should therefore be inspected and
cleaned regularly.
Switch the dishwasher off.
Remove the spray arms as follows:
Take out the cutlery tray (if your
dishwasher is fitted with one).
Push the upper spray arm upwards
to engage the inner ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm.
Push the middle spray arm upwards
to engage the ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm .
Remove the lower basket.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.
Use a pointed object to push food
particles stuck in the jets into the
spray arms.
Rinse the spray arms thoroughly
under running water.
Refit the spray arms and check that
they rotate freely.
Cleaning and care
58
Checking the filters in the
wash cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse soiling
from the suds solution, preventing it
accessing the circulation system and
re-entering the cabinet through the
spray arms.
This appliance must not be used
without all the filters in place.
Collection of coarse soiling may cause
the filters to clog. 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 50programme
cycles (factory default setting).
You can set the interval for this
message to appear between 30 and
60programme cycles (see “Settings
menu - Check filters”).
Check the filter combination.
Clean it if necessary.
Then confirm the message with OK.
The message will go out.
Cleaning the filters
Switch the dishwasher off.
Turn the handle anti-clockwise to
release the filter combination .
Lift the filter combination out of the
dishwasher . Remove any coarse
particles and rinse the filter well
under running water.
Use a nylon brush if necessary.
During cleaning ensure that
course soil doesn't get into the
circulation system and cause a
blockage.
Cleaning and care
59
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap
must be opened:
Press the catches together in the
direction of the arrows as shown, and
open the filter .
Rinse all the filters under running
water.
Then close the flap so that the catch
engages.
Replace the filter combination so that
it lies flat in the base of the wash
cabinet.
Then turn the handle clockwise until
both arrows point towards each
other. This will lock the filter
combination in place.
Take care when you are fitting
the filter combination that it is
secured in position correctly.
Otherwise coarse soil could get into
the circulation system and cause a
blockage.

Maintenance
68
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw
connection of the valve on the water
inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned
when dirty, otherwise insufficient water
flows into the wash cabinet.
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component.
The housing must not be dipped in
water.
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large
amount of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the separately
supplied non-return valve that is
connected to the tap and the water inlet
hose threaded union. This filter is
available from Miele.
Cleaning the filter:
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply.
Switch off at the mains socket and
withdraw the plug.
Turn off the tap.
Unscrew the inlet hose.
Carefully remove the washer.
Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and rinse clean under running
water.
Replace the filter and washer, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
Reconnect the inlet hose, making
sure it goes on correctly and is not
cross-threaded.
Turn on the tap.
If water leaks out, the inlet hose may
not be connected securely or it may
have been screwed on at an angle.
Unscrew and reconnect the inlet hose
correctly.
Maintenance
69
Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If the water has not been pumped away
at the end of a programme, the drain
pump or the non-return valve might be
blocked. They are, however, easy to
clean.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains electricity supply. Switch off at
the mains 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 cabinet
using a suitable container or utensil.
Press the catch for the non-return
valve inwards .
Tilt the non-return valve inwards until
it is released.
Rinse it thoroughly under running
water and remove any soiling from
the non-return valve.
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
Remove all foreign objects from the
drain pump (watch out for glass or
bone splinters which are particularly
difficult to detect and could cause
injury). Turn the drain pump impeller
by hand to check that there are no
more obstructions. You will feel a little
resistance when you turn the impeller.
Carefully refit the non-return valve
and secure it with the catch.
Ensure that the catch engages
correctly.
Be careful not to damage any
delicate components when cleaning
the drain pump and the non-return
valve.

diagram and wiring diagram supplied.
Converting the machine to a different
type of power supply can lead to
longer programme durations,
resulting in increased energy
consumption in some programmes.
The data plates are located at the back
of the dishwasher and along the right
edge of the open door.
The wiring diagram is supplied with
the machine.
The conversion diagram is attached to
the electrical connection plinth panel
behind the plinth cover.
Equipotential bonding connection
There is a screw connection point
marked at the back of the appliance,
to which additional equipotential
bonding can be connected.
Warning
This appliance must be earthed.
Water connection
73
The Miele Waterproof system
As long as your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele Waterproof
anti-leak system will protect you from
water damage throughout its lifetime.
Water intake
Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
– The machine must be connected to
the water supply in strict accordance
with current local and national water
authority regulations.
– The water used must at least comply
with national regulations for drinking
water quality.
If the water supply has a high iron
content, there is a danger of
corrosion occurring on items being
cleaned in the dishwasher, as well as
the machine itself.
If the chloride content of the water
exceeds 100mg/l, the risk of
corrosion to items being cleaned in
the dishwasher will be further
increased.
– In certain regions (e.g. mountainous
regions), the water composition may
cause precipitates to form, requiring
the use of softened water for the
dishwasher.
– This appliance must be installed
according to AS/NZS 3500.1.
This appliance has been supplied
with a separate back flow prevention
device. This machine must be
connected to the potable water
supply via the non-return valve
(check valve) supplied with the
machine. Before making plumbing
connections, ensure the appliance is
disconnected from the mains power
supply (switch off or unplug the
power).
- Turn off the mains water tap.
- Place the seals on both sides of the
non-return valve.
- Connect the female end of the non-
return valve to the mains water tap.
- Connect the inlet hose to the non-
return valve.
- If the filter or extension hose is
installed, ensure it is connected after
the non-return valve.
Ensure that all connections are
screwed into position correctly. The
connection point is subject to mains
water pressure. Turn on the tap
slowly and check for leaks. Correct
the position of the seal and union if
necessary.
Water connection
74
– The water pressure (flow pressure at
the connection point) must be
between 50 and 1000kPa (0.5 and
10bar).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message Water intake
will appear in the display (see
“Problem solving guide”).
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducing valve must be
fitted.
– A tap with a
3
/
4
inch male thread must
be provided on site. It should be
easily accessible so that the water
supply can be turned off when the
dishwasher is not in use.
– The DN 10 inlet hose is approx. 1.5m
long terminating in a
3
/
4
inch female
thread. A 1.5m long flexible metal
extension hose tested to 14,000kPa
(140bar) is available as an optional
accessory if required. Under no
circumstances must the inlet filter or
the flow regulator in the connection
be removed.
To avoid any damage to the
machine, the dishwasher must only
be connected to a fully vented
plumbing system.
The inlet hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way as
it contains electrical components
(see illustration).
Water connection
75
Connecting the drain hose
– The machine 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 drainage hose
should preferably be connected to a
separate on-site drain for the
dishwasher only. If no separate
connection is available, we
recommend connecting it to a dual-
chamber siphon.
– The dishwasher is supplied with
approx. 1.5m of flexible drain hose
with an internal diameter of 22mm.
Hose clips are supplied with the
dishwasher.
– The drain hose must not be
shortened. 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.
– The drainage system must be able to
accommodate a minimum drainage
flow of 16l/min.
Make sure that there are no kinks
in the hose, and that it is not
squashed or stretched.
Venting the drainage system
If the on-site drain 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 programme can cause the
appliance to empty itself of water.
To vent it:
Open the dishwasher door fully.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.
Cut off the top of the vent valve in the
wash cabinet.

Rinse aid
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for
best results.
The dosage amount can be set
between 0 and 6ml.
The rinse aid dosage can turn out to be
higher than the set value due to the
automatic adjustment of the
programme.
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.
Select the setting you want and
confirm your choice with OK.

detergent if you have installed the
optional external dispensing module.
The DOS module is supplied with its
own installation instructions.

The setting will remain active until
you deactivate “External dispensing”.
When using liquid dispensing via an
external DOS module, you can
dispense the detergent according to the
detergent manufacturer's instructions
as a percentage or in millilitres per
minute.
Detergent quantity
The following functions will only
become visible when external

increments of 5ml/min.
Set the dosage according to the
cleaning agent manufacturer's
recommendations.
Choose the required detergent or
flow rate quantities and confirm your
selection with the OK button.
Venting the dispensing system
The DOS system will not dispense
reliably if there is air in the system.
The DOS system must be vented:
– when the DOS system is being used
for the first time,
– if the liquid detergent reservoir was
not refilled in time and the DOS
system was emptied,
– if the detergent container was
replaced.
To ensure that the dispensing
system functions properly, prior to
venting make sure that the detergent
container is full enough and that the
dispensing lances are firmly attached
to the containers.
Select Start venting and press the
middle button to confirm.
The venting process will begin. The
remaining time appears in the display.
The “Pre-wash” programme is offered
directly after the venting process is
finished. Start the programme in order
to dilute and drain any cleaning agent
that has escaped into the wash cabinet.

EcoStart
In order to run your dishwasher in the
most economical way, you can use the
EcoStart option to take advantage of
your electricity supplier's time variable
tariffs (see “Programme options -
FlexiTimer with EcoStart”).
With this option selected, your
dishwasher will start automatically at
your electricity supplier's cheapest tariff
times.
To use this option, you must first set up
to three electricity tariff time zones in
which the dishwasher can start. You
can allocate different priorities to these
time zones. The time with the cheapest
electricity tariff will be given Priority 1.
Contact your electricity supplier to find
out the times of the cheapest electricity
tariffs.
Once the electricity tariff times have
been set, you can use the EcoStart
option to set the latest finish time
required for each programme.
The dishwasher will then start
automatically in the cheapest electricity
tariff time and the programme will end
at the latest at the finish time set.
Setting the electricity tariff times
Before you can use the EcoStart option,
you must set at least one electricity
tariff time.
Use the arrow buttons to select
the electricity tariff time (T1-T3) you
want to set and confirm with OK.
The start of the electricity tariff time
selected will appear in the display and
the hour number block will be
highlighted.
Use the arrow buttons to set the
hours and minutes for the start time
and confirm both with OK.
The end of the electricity tariff time
selected will appear in the display and
the hours number block will be
highlighted.
Use the arrow buttons to set the
hours and minutes for the finish time
and confirm both with OK.
The electricity tariff time will be saved
and its priority will appear in the display.
Use the arrow buttons to set the
priority you want and confirm with
OK.
Confirm the message with OK.
The electricity tariff time will be
activated.
Settings menu

Deleting the electricity tariff times
You can delete the settings for an
electricity tariff time and in doing so

the electricity tariff time (T1-T3) you
want to delete and confirm with OK.
For example, select Delete T1 and
confirm with OK.

Network
Your dishwasher is equipped with an
integrated Wi-Fi module.
In order to connect your dishwasher to
your Wi-Fi network, you must first
activate the network function.
This will add the Miele@home enabled
option to the “Settings” menu.
Networking is deactivated ex-works.
Make sure that your Wi-Fi network
signal strength is strong enough at
the installation site of your
dishwasher.
Select the setting you want and
confirm with OK.
Miele@home
This option is only displayed if you
have activated the network settings
(see “Settings menu - Network”).
There are a number of ways of
connecting your dishwasher to your Wi-
Fi network:
MielePro@mobile App
The MielePro@mobile App is available
to download free of charge from the
Apple App Store
®
or from the Google
Play Store.
After installing the MielePro@mobile
App on a mobile device, you can do the
following:
– Operate your professional machine
remotely

WPS Push Button
As an alternative to networking your
dishwasher via the MielePro@mobile
App we recommend using WPS
(Wireless Protected Setup). To do so,
you will need a WPS-compatible router.
Select the WPS push button option.
Please wait will appear in the display.
Activate the “WPS” function on your
router within two minutes.
Once connection has been
established, confirm the message
with OK.
The dishwasher will then revert to the
Miele@home enabled menu.
If the connection fails, you have
probably not connected WPS to your
router quickly enough. Repeat the steps
above.
SmartStart
The SmartStartfunction is used for
starting your dishwasher automatically
at a time when your energy costs are
most economical.
If you have activated SmartStart
Permitted, the“FlexiTimer” menu for
the programme selected will no longer
show the EcoStart option. Instead it will
show SmartStart. The dishwasher will
then start within the timeframe set by
you once it receives a signal from your
energy provider.
If it has not received a signal from your
energy provider by the latest start time
entered, the dishwasher will start
automatically.
Select the setting you want and
confirm with OK.
Confirm the message with OK.
Settings menu
