Warning and Safety instructions
6
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 non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep the installation sheet and the operating instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future owner.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
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 4,000m
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
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).
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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).
Warning and Safety instructions
10
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).
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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 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.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
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 AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or
liquid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.
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 (depending on model), 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
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 10years and up to 15years 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.

Caring for the environment
21
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.
Using for the first time
22
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 “Settings - AutoOpen”).
To open the door, reach under the
door grip and pull.
Open the door fully to disengage the
locking mechanism.
At the end of the programme, if the
AutoOpen function is on, the door
locking pins automatically retract.
To prevent a technical fault, do not

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. Before
closing the door again, leave it ajar
for approx. 20 seconds. This will
enable the temperature in the wash
cabinet to settle.
Risk of injury due to door
opening automatically.
The door may open automatically at
the end of a programme.
Keep the area around the door free
of obstructions.

Dishwasher salt
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
0.9mmol/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 12.5mmol/l
(70°dH - German scale).
The water softener requires reactivation
salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(<3.8mmol/l, or <21°dH – 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 0.9mmol/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 “Settings - Water
hardness”).
Damage to the water softener
from detergents.
Dishwasher detergents 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 impair the
functioning of the water softener.
Only use special coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure
evaporated salts for reactivation.
If you only ever use combination
detergent products in your
dishwasher, you can switch off both
refill reminders if you wish (see
“Settings - 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.
Using for the first time
29
Filling the salt reservoir
Before filling the salt reservoir 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
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. 2l
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 65 °C
QuickPowerWash programme with
the Express option and without
any load in the dishwasher to
dissolve and remove any traces of
salt from the wash cabinet.
Using for the first time
30
Replenishing salt
When Refill salt appears in the
display wait until the end of the
programme and then refill the salt
reservoir.
Confirm with OK.
The salt refill indicator will go out.
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 lid, 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. In this
case, confirm with OK again.
The salt refill indicator is deactivated if
the dishwasher is set to a water
hardness below 0.9mmol/l (5 °dH -
German scale).
Using for the first time
31
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.
Damage caused by washing-up
liquid or detergents.
Dishwasher detergent will destroy
the rinse aid reservoir.
Only fill rinse aid designed for
domestic dishwashers into the
reservoir.
Alternatively, you can use liquid citric
acid with up to 10% acid content. The
dishes will be more moist and stained
than with rinse aid.
Damage caused by acids.
The dishwasher can be damaged by
acids with a higher concentration.
Never use citric acid or vinegar with
a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar
essence 25% acid).
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.
If you want to permanently use
combination detergent products in
your dishwasher, you can switch off
the refill reminders for salt and rinse
aid if you wish (see “Settings - 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.
Using for the first time

Adding rinse aid
Lift the yellow catch on the lid of the
rinse aid container .
The lid will spring 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.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for best results (see "Settings - Rinse
aid").
Refilling rinse aid
When the Refill rinse aid message
appears, the reservoir only contains
sufficient rinse aid for another 2 - 3

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 ECOprogramme 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
1
/
3
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.
Loading the dishwasher
47
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.

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 of crockery and long stemmed
glasses in the upper basket (see “Upper

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 size of the load and the level of
soiling.
-Tablet detergents. 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.
For optimum cleaning and drying
results, use dishwasher detergent and
add salt and rinse aid separately.
Detergents
69
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
There are two ways of dispensing the
detergent.
During automatic dispensing, the
AutoDos function will automatically
dispense the required amount of
detergent for each programme once a
PowerDisk has been inserted (see
“Detergents - Automatic dispensing/
AutoDos”).
If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you
can manually dispense the detergent
into the detergent compartment. This
means you will have to fill the required
amount of detergent into the detergent
compartment before each programme
(see “Detergents - Manual detergent
dispensing”).
Detergents
70
Automatic dispensing/AutoDos
Before you can use AutoDos, you must
insert a PowerDisk containing powder
detergent into the PowerDisk
compartment.
One PowerDisk contains enough
detergent for approx. 20cycles,
depending on the selected programme.
PowerDisks are available to order
directly from the Miele online store or
a Miele Experience Centre.
Risk of chemical burns from
residual detergent.
Detergents have a caustic effect.
This can cause health problems and
damage to surfaces. If the AutoDos
is used incorrectly or leaks, residual
detergent may drip onto the floor
area in front of the dishwasher.
Always remove residual detergent
from in front of the dishwasher
immediately.
Activating AutoDos
Switch the dishwasher on with the
button.
Before you use AutoDos for the first
time, remove the transport lock from
the PowerDisk compartment and
dispose of it appropriately.
Insert a PowerDisk (see “Automatic
dispensing/AutoDos - Inserting a
PowerDisk”).
TheAutoDos function will be
activated automatically.
The message AutoDos activated will
appear in the display.
This setting applies to all programmes
and can be changed at any time using
the AutoDosbutton.
If no programme is started for
48hours, the PowerDisk will
automatically be rotated so that the
detergent does not clump together. If
this happens, the messagePowder
refreshing will appear in the display
when the dishwasher is switched on.
No detergent is dispensed during this
refreshing process.
Detergents
71
Inserting a PowerDisk
Switch on the dishwasher before you
replace the PowerDisk so that the
dishwasher recognises it.
Only replace the PowerDisk when the
messagePowerDisk empty. Deactivate
AutoDos with OK. appears.
Slide the yellow catch of the AutoDos
lid to and open it.
The message AutoDos lid open will
appear in the display.
Remove the empty PowerDisk.
If the arrows in the PowerDisk holder
and in the viewing window are not
pointing towards each other, remove
the PowerDisk holder (see “Cleaning
and care - Cleaning the AutoDos”).
Put the holder back into place so that
the arrows point towards each other
and the holder lies flat.
When doing this, only hold the
PowerDisk holder by the yellow tab in
the middle. Do not hold it by the side
tab.
Insert the new PowerDisk and press it
evenly downwards until it sits flush.
Detergents
72
Close the AutoDos lid and slide the
yellow catch until it is aligned with the
symbol.
If the PowerDisk is not in the correct
starting position, it will be rotated
automatically and the AutoDos
function will be activated.
Wait until this process is finished before
you start a programme.
The AutoDos lid must be closed to
prevent damage to the AutoDos.
Always close the AutoDos lid before
you close the dishwasher door.
Otherwise, the AutoDos may be
damaged.
Programmes cannot start when the
AutoDos lid is open.
The detergent powder must be dry
so that it does not clump together.
Do not fill the AutoDos with any type
of liquid.
In order to ensure that the AutoDos
works at its best, check it each time
you replace the PowerDisk and clean
it if needed (see “Cleaning and care -
Cleaning the AutoDos”).
Detergents
73
Manual detergent dispensing
Detergent must be manually dispensed
if you have deactivated automatic
dispensing using the
AutoDossensor.
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 programmeQuickPowerWash
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.
Detergents
74
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.
Automatic dispensing/AutoDos
should be deactivated if detergent is
manually dispensed.
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”).
Operation
75
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.
When a programme is selected, it will
appear briefly in the display and the
relevant indicator light will come on.
Next, the estimated energy and water
consumption may be shown for the
selected programme for several
seconds.
Then the display will show the
estimated duration of the selected
programme.
The Start indicator light will flash.
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

the appropriate indicator lights will also
light up.
Operation
76
Display of programme duration
The estimated duration of the selected
programme appears 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 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, and the amount of dishes and
how soiled they are.
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 Startbutton.
If necessary, confirm the previously
displayed message with OK.
The programme will start.
The Start indicator light will come on.
During the programme sequence, you
can use OK to display the name of the
programme that is currently running.
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.
Operation
77
At the end of the programme
The programme has finished when the
display shows the message Finished.
In some programmes, if the AutoOpen
function is activated, the door will
automatically open slightly (see
“Settings – AutoOpen”). This improves
the drying process.
If the Consumptionprogrammable
function is switched on, you can now
call up the actual energy and water
consumption of the programme that
has just finished (see “Caring for the
environment – EcoFeedback
consumption display”).
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
“Settings – AutoOpen”), but would
still like to open the door at the end
of the programme, then make sure
that you open the door fully.
Energy management
To save energy, the dishwasher will
switch off automatically 10minutes
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.
Operation
78
Switching off the dishwasher
The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the button.
Confirm the query Switch off with OK.
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.
Operation
79
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.

Maintenance programme
The dishwasher wash cabinet is
generally self-cleaning. However, if
residues or deposits occur, use the
Maintenanceprogramme to clean it. The
dishwasher must not be loaded for this
programme. This programme is
designed for cleaning the wash cabinet
using care products (dishwasher
cleaner/dishwasher conditioner) (see
“Optional accessories - Appliance
care”). Follow the instructions on the
packaging. When using dishwasher
care products, no detergent should be
added. For this reason, automatic
dispensing (if available) is deactivated
for this programme.
Programme options
87
Selecting programme options
You can use programme options to
adjust the programmes.
To do this, you can select the
programme options before starting the
programme.
Switch the dishwasher on with the
button.
The Start indicator light will flash.
Select a programme as required.
Press the button for the programme
option you want.
The indicator light for the relevant

purpose of flushing out the wash
cabinet to remove salt solution that
leaked out after refilling the salt
reservoir.
Cleaning and care
88
Check the condition of your
dishwasher regularly (approx. every
4–6months). 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.
The frequent use of low-temperature
wash programmes (<50°C) increases
the risk of contamination and odours
inside the wash cabinet. Run the
Intensive 75°C programme once a
month to clean the wash cabinet and
prevent odours from developing.
However, if residues such as limescale
or grease have been deposited, use the
Maintenance programme to clean the
dishwasher (see “Programme chart –
Further programmes”) with dishwasher
cleaner (see “Optional accessories –
Maintenance”). Follow the instructions
on the product packaging.
Miele cleaning and care products are
available to order from Miele Service or
from Miele’s online store.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Hygiene cycle
If you mainly use low temperature
programmes, there is a risk of bacteria
and unpleasant odours building up in
the wash cabinet. If you repeatedly use
low temperature programmes, you
should regularly run a high temperature
programme. This is to prevent the build-
up of residues and odours.
You can activate or deactivate a
Hygiene info message (see “Settings –
Hygiene cycle”).
If you deactivate this message, run the
Intensive75°Cprogramme once per
month to clean the wash cabinet and
prevent odours from developing.
Cleaning and care
89
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 and care

Cleaning the AutoDos
You should check that the detergent
fill channel is clean every time you
replace the PowerDisk, and clean it if
necessary, e.g. powder residues.
This should be done at the latest
when the Clean AutoDos message is
displayed. This helps keep the
AutoDos working properly.
In order to ensure that the AutoDos
works at its best, check it each time
you replace the PowerDisk and clean
it if needed.
1 PowerDisk holder
2 Detergent chute for dispensing the
detergent from the PowerDisk into the
wash cabinet
Slide the yellow catch of the AutoDos
lid to and open it.
Remove the PowerDisk if applicable.
Pull the PowerDisk holder upwards
by the yellow tabs and remove it.
When doing so, do not pull on the
side tab.
Use the tab (see arrow) to release
the fill channel and pull it out.
Cleaning and care
91
Clean the fill channel with water and a
soft brush if necessary.
It is very important that no moisture
gets inside the AutoDos system
during cleaning.
Dry the fill channel well so that the
detergent powder does not clump
together.
Insert the fill channel until the tab
clicks into place.
Put the holder back into place so that
the arrows in the PowerDisk holder
and in the viewing window point
towards each other. The holder must
lie flat.
The AutoDos lid must close tightly so
that the detergent powder does not
get wet and clump together.
Make sure that all seals are clean.
Insert a PowerDisk.
Close the AutoDos lid and slide the
yellow catch until it is aligned with the
symbol (see “Detergents -
Inserting a PowerDisk”).
Regularly check the lower spray arm
for any blockages to ensure that the
detergent outlet of the AutoDos can
be fully flushed out (see “Cleaning
and care - Cleaning the spray arms”).
Cleaning and care
92
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 2–4months).
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.

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.
Cleaning and care
95
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.
The message Check filters will appear in
the display after every 50 programme
sequences.
Check the filter combination.
Clean the filter combination if
necessary.
Then confirm the message with OK.

requires a hot water connection of
between a minimum of 45°C and a
maximum of 60°C (inlet temperature).
The higher the water intake
temperature, the better the cleaning and
drying results.
The intake hose is approx. 1.5m long.

A tap with a ¾" 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 1,000kPa. If the
water pressure is lower than this, the
fault message Water intake will appear in
the display (see “Problem solving guide
- Water intake fault”). 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.
There are electrical components in
the water inlet hose.
The 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.
Press the screwdriver further into the
opening and push it through the
membrane behind.
The vent opening for the water drain is
now open.

Electrical connection
The dishwasher is supplied with a
mains 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 30 mA. 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.
Do not connect the dishwasher solely
to a stand-alone inverter such as those
used with an autonomous energy
source (e.g. solar power). When the
dishwasher is switched on, power
surges could result in a safety switch-
off. This could damage the electronics.
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.
