Warning and safety instructions
6
This dishwasher conforms to current safety requirements. Inappro-
priate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material dam-
age.
Please observe the installation sheet and read the operating in-
structions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using it
for the first time. They both contain important information on its in-
stallation, safety, use and maintenance. This is to protect yourself
from injury and prevent damage to the dishwasher.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the dishwasher as well as the safety instruc-
tions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for 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
Appropriate use
This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
This dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use.
This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 4000m
above sea level.
This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic crock-
ery and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted.
The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use
it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.
Warning and safety instructions
8
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the dish-
washer unless they are constantly supervised.
Children aged 8 and older may only use the dishwasher without
supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.
Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the dishwasher
unsupervised.
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.
Never allow children to play with the dishwasher. There is a danger
that children might shut 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! Whilst playing, children may become en-
tangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head and risk suffocation. Keep packaging material away
from children.
Keep children away from detergents. Detergents cause severe
skin burns and severe eye damage. They can cause burning in the
mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. It is therefore important to
keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. De-
tergent residues could still be present in the dishwasher. Seek med-
ical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any deter-
gents.
Warning and safety instructions

Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a qualified 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 correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety re-
quirement 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
or lack of earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent
standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket using a fused 3-pin plug (it must not
be hard-wired). The electrical socket must be easily accessible after
the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the
electricity supply at any time.
Warning and safety instructions
10
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher be-
cause the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheating
and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a hob. The high
temperatures radiated by hobs could damage the dishwasher below.
For the same reason, the appliance must not be installed next to
open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters
etc., not normally found in a kitchen.
Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the mains electricity sup-
ply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage
to the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the appliance
to the mains. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains 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 mech-
anism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
whilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on the
model) is active.
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). It is also important that the
door cannot fall open.
- The door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens
at the end of the drying phase.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not connect the
dishwasher to the mains electricity supply using a multi-socket ad-
apter or an extension lead.
Warning and safety instructions
11
The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost occurring. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The
reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperat-
ures 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 a solenoid
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 Waterproof system offers protection from water
damage, provided that the following conditions are met:
- Installation has been carried out correctly
- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced
where this is noticeably required
- The stopcock 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 call your
Miele dealer or Miele Service.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
Warning and safety instructions
12
We recommend replacing defective components with original
spare parts. If original Miele spare parts are installed correctly, Miele
ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty
remains valid.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the dishwasher
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply (switch it off
and withdraw the plug from the socket).
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be re-
placed with a specific mains connection cable of the same type
(available from the Miele Customer Service Department). For safety
reasons this must only be done by the Miele Customer Service De-
partment or a Miele authorised technician.
This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp (depending on the
model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g. in terms of temperat-
ure, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibra-
tion). This lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is in-
tended. The lamp is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement
lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the
Miele Customer Service Department.
Correct installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the supplied installation sheet.
Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.
Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/being cut. Wear pro-
tective gloves.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure
problem-free operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous worktop that is secured to
adjacent cabinetry.
Warning and safety instructions
13
A sink in the adjacent cabinet of the dishwasher must be carefully
sealed. Regularly check for leaks to avoid damage to the dish-
washer.
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 set and observe the
installation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit
tipping over.
The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are
correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half
open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door
cannot fall open.
The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door
springs.
If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact the Miele Customer
Service Department.
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. Risk of explosion.
Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the
eyes, nose, mouth and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not
inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents.
Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed
or inhaled.
Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could
injure yourself on the open door or trip over it.
Do not sit or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could tip
over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.
Warning and safety instructions
14
Crockery 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 dish-
washers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may
cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive
chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause damage to the reservoir.
Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or li-
quid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Deter-
gent will damage the water softener.
Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure kit-
chen salt for reactivation. Other salts may contain insoluble additives
that 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 down-
wards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle down
in the basket will come out cleaner and drier.
Plastic items that 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 dish-
washer may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent
compartment must be dry. If it is not, wipe it until dry. The detergent
will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this
may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.
Warning and safety instructions
15
Please observe the information given in the “Technical data”
chapter regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.
Accessories and spare parts
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-
ranty, performance and, if applicable, product liability claims will be
invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum 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.

Caring for the environment
22
Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material re-
duces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options. Your Miele dealer will
take the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with household waste or
if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele, free of charge. By law, you
are solely responsible for deleting any
personal data from the old appliance
prior to disposal. You are legally obliged
to remove any old batteries which are
not securely enclosed by the appliance
and to remove any lamps without des-
troying them, where this is possible.
These must be taken to a suitable col-
lection point where they can be handed
in free of charge. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.
Before using for the first time
23
Every dishwasher is tested at the fact-
ory. There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an in-
dication that the dishwasher has been
used previously.
Opening the door
In some programmes, the door auto-
matically opens slightly to assist the
drying process.
This function can be deactivated, if pre-
ferred (see “Settings – AutoOpen”).
This dishwasher has a motorised door
opener which is activated by knocking
on the door front (Knock2open func-
tion).
Knock twice in quick succession on
the top third of the door front.
The door will open a little.
Hold the door at the top edge and
pull the door out of the lock.
The door locking pins will retract.
To prevent a technical fault, do not
hold the door locking pins firmly
when they are retracting.
If the door is opened during operation
all wash functions are automatically in-
terrupted.
You can deactivate this function (see
“Settings – Knock2open”).
Risk of scalding due to hot wa-
ter.
During operation, water in the dish-
washer may be very hot.
During operation, only open the door
with extreme caution.
Risk of injury due to door open-
ing automatically.
The door may open automatically at
the end of a programme.
Keep the area around the door free
of obstructions.
Before using for the first time
24
Door-opening mechanism
If the door will not open when knocked
or if there is a power failure, the door
can be opened manually with the door-
opening mechanism supplied with the
dishwasher.
Push the door-opening mechanism
into the gap between the dishwasher
front and the neighbouring unit
door about 15cm below the work-
top.
Turn the door-opening mechanism
clockwise, until it grips behind the
dishwasher front.
Then use it to pull the door open.
Closing the door
Push the baskets right in.
Then raise the door up, and push un-
til it clicks into position.
The door will then close automatically.
Risk of crushing due to the door
closing.
When closing the door, you are at
risk of shutting your fingers in it.
Do not put your hand inside the door
as it is closing.
Before using for the first time
25

Dishwasher salt
In order to achieve good cleaning res-
ults, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in
the build-up of calcium deposits on
crockery and on the wash cabinet walls.
Mains water with a water 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
12.6mmol/l (70°dH – German scale).
In order to maintain the functions of
the water softener, it must be reactiv-
ated regularly. Reactivation occurs
automatically every ninth programme
sequence. At the start of the next pro-
gramme, an additional 4.4l of water is
required for this process. Energy con-
sumption increases by 0.015kWh and
the programme is extended by approx.
3minutes.
The above only applies to the ECO
programme at a water hardness of
2.5mmol/l (14°dH – German scale).
For other programmes and water
hardness levels, the frequency of re-
activation will differ.
In order to be reactivated, the water
softener requires dishwasher 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 “Detergent – Powder detergent and
detergent tabs”).
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 detergent.
Detergent will damage the water
softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Damage caused by using unsuit-
able salts.
Some types of salt may contain in-
soluble components which can
cause the water softener to malfunc-
tion.
Only use special coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen
salt for reactivation.
If you only ever use combination de-
tergent products in your dishwasher,
you can turn off both refill reminders if
you wish (see “Settings – Refill re-
minders”).
Please make sure that if you stop us-
ing combination detergent products,
you refill the dishwasher salt and
rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders
back on if required.
Before using for the first time
30
Filling the salt reservoir
Before filling the salt reservoir for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
2l of water to enable the salt to dis-
solve.
Once the dishwasher has been used
once, there is always sufficient water
in the salt reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.
Danger 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 in order to replenish
the salt.
Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2l
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 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 reser-
voir and each time you remove the
salt container cap, run the
65°CQuickPowerWash pro-
gramme with the Express pro-
gramme option selected without a
load in the dishwasher to dissolve
and remove any traces of salt from
the wash cabinet.
Before using for the first time
31
Refilling the salt
When Add salt and run the
“QuickPowerWash” programme with the
“Express” option without a load 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 load items.
Each time you remove the salt reser-
voir cap, you must run the
65°CQuickPowerWash pro-
gramme with the Express pro-
gramme option selected without any
load items in the dishwasher. This
will dissolve and remove any traces
of salt from the wash cabinet.
After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the salt refill indicator may still appear in
the display if the salt concentration has
not yet reached the correct level. In this
case, confirm the message again with
OK.
The salt refill indicator will be switched
off if you have programmed the dish-
washer for a water hardness below
0.9mmol/l (5°dH – German scale).
Before using for the first time
32
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that
water does not cling 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 container
and the amount set is dispensed auto-
matically.
Washing-up liquid or detergent
can cause damage.
Washing-up liquid and detergent can
damage the rinse aid container.
Only fill it with rinse aid formulated
for domestic dishwashers.
Alternatively, you could use liquid citric
acid at a concentration of up to 10%.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
on the crockery will not, however, be as
good as when rinse aid is used.
Risk of acid damage.
The dishwasher can be damaged by
high concentrations of acid.
Under no circumstances should you
use citric acid with a higher acid
content.
If you only ever wish to use combina-
tion products in your dishwasher,
you do not need to add rinse aid.
However, for optimum rinsing and
drying results, use dishwasher deter-
gent and add dishwasher salt and
rinse aid separately.
If you only ever use combination de-
tergent products containing salt and
rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch off both refill reminders if you
wish (see “Settings – Refill remind-
ers”).
Please make sure that if you stop us-
ing combination detergents, you refill
the dishwasher salt and rinse aid.
Switch the refill reminders back on if
required.
Before using for the first time
33
Adding rinse aid
Press the yellow button on the lid
of the rinse aid reservoir.
The lid will spring open.
Fill with rinse aid until the filling level
indicator (arrow) changes to a dark
colour while the door is horizontally
open.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx-
imately 110ml.
Close the lid firmly until you hear it
click into place. Otherwise, water can
enter the rinse aid reservoir during a
programme.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents excess foam developing
during the next programme.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for the best wash result (see “Set-
tings” chapter, “Rinse aid” section).
Filling the rinse aid reservoir
When the refill reminder Refill rinse aid
appears in the display, the reservoir
contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3
programmes only.
Refill with rinse aid in plenty of time.
Confirm with OK.
The rinse aid refill reminder will disap-
pear.

AutoDos (automatic dispens-
ing)
Automatic dispensing automatically ad-
justs the amount of detergent to the se-
lected programme. In the Auto45–
65°C programme, the quantity is adjus-
ted depending on the degree of soiling
of the crockery.
If you want to extend the service life of
the PowerDisk, you can reduce the dis-
pensing quantity. The programme’s
cleaning performance may decrease as
a result.
If you want to improve the cleaning per-
formance, you can increase the dis-
pensing quantity. This reduces the ser-
vice life of the PowerDisk.

Economical dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco-
nomical in its use of water and electri-
city.
You can make the most of your appli-
ance by following these tips:
- Washing in a dishwasher generally
uses less water and energy than
washing by hand.
- There is no need to pre-rinse items
under running water, and this unne-
cessarily increases water and energy
consumption.
- For the most economical dishwash-
ing, make full use of the basket capa-
city without overloading the dish-
washer. This results in the most eco-
nomical dishwashing in terms of en-
ergy and water consumption.
- Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling (see “Pro-
gramme overview”).
- Select the ECOprogramme for en-
ergy-saving dishwashing. This pro-
gramme is the most efficient in terms
of its combined energy and water
consumption for cleaning dishes with
a normal level of soiling.
- If you have a hot water connection,
choose the SolarSave programme
(see “Installation – Water inlet”). The
wash water will not be heated up dur-
ing this programme.
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
- If you are manually dosing the deter-
gent, reduce the amount of detergent
by
1
/

when using powder or liquid
detergent if the baskets are only half
full.

EcoFeedback consumption in-
dicator
You can view information about the en-
ergy and water consumption of your
dishwasher (see “Settings” chapter,
“Consumption” section).
The following information will appear in
the display:
- Estimated energy and water con-
sumption before the programme se-
quence begins.
- Actual energy and water consump-
tion at the end of a programme.
- The total consumption of the dish-
washer.
1. Consumption estimate
You can display the predicted energy
and water consumption in the Extras
menu of the selected programme using
the Estimate function.
The estimated consumption will be
shown as a bar chart. The more bars
displayed, the higher the energy or wa-
ter consumption of the selected pro-
gramme.
The values are influenced by the pro-
gramme, the extras selected, the ambi-
ent conditions and the size of the load.
The estimated consumption function is
activated as standard. This function can
be deactivated, if preferred (see “Set-
tings”, “Consumption” section).
2. Displaying consumption
At the end of the programme, you can
call up the actual energy and water
consumption for the programme that
has just been run.
Open the door at the end of the pro-
gramme.
Select the Consumption function.
The energy and water consumption of
the programme that has just run is dis-
played.
Switching the dishwasher off at the
end of the programme will delete the
actual consumption values for the pro-
gramme that has just been run.
3. Total consumption
You can view the total consumption of
energy and water for all previously used
programmes of your dishwasher (see
“Settings” chapter, “Consumption” sec-
tion).

Heat accumulator
This dishwasher is equipped with a heat
accumulator, in which fresh water for
the programme is pre-heated and
stored in order to save energy. The heat
accumulator is refilled with fresh water
towards the end of each rinse cycle.
The water is held here ready for the
next rinse cycle.
If you do not wish to use this function, it
can be switched off (see “Settings –
Heat accumulator”).
If the water in the heat accumulator has
not been used for several weeks, the
water will be automatically drained off
for hygiene reasons. This procedure
takes a few minutes and will occur even
with the dishwasher switched off or the
door open.
Please ensure that the dishwasher is
properly connected.
The display will remain dark while the
heat accumulator is drained off. If you
touch the sensor control, the display
will show the message Empty heat accu-
mulator. Other functions will be unavail-
able during this procedure.
Automatic emptying cannot be interrup-
ted.
During the subsequent programme se-
quence, water and energy consumption
will be higher.
The heat accumulator can be manually
drained for transporting the dishwasher,
e.g. when moving house (see “Settings
– Heat accumulator”).
The heat accumulator should only be
used in conjunction with a cold water
connection.
This function should be switched off
if your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water connection.

General information
Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.
There is no need to pre-rinse items un-
der 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.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in
the baskets, but the following notes
should be observed:
- Do not place crockery and cutlery in-
side other items where they will cover
one another.
- 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,
pots etc. must be placed upside
down in the baskets.
- Tall and narrow hollow items, such as
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the middle of the basket
rather than in the corners. This en-
sures the hollow items are more eas-
ily 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 bas-
kets.
Small items such as lids should
therefore be placed in the 3D
MultiFlex tray or cutlery basket (de-
pending on model).
Some foods may contain natural dyes,
e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup.
These dyes can discolour plastic items
in the dishwasher if large quantities of
these foods are in contact with the
crockery inside the appliance. The sta-
bility of plastic items is not affected by
this discolouration.
Washing silverware can also cause
plastic items to discolour.
Loading the dishwasher
54
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 dish-
washer.
- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
and decorative glassware: such items
are not suitable for dishwashers.
- Plastic items that are not heat resist-
ant: the high temperatures in the
dishwasher may cause them to melt
or lose shape.
- Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items: these may discolour or be-
come 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.
Silver
Silver that has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon-
naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine
and marinades.
Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or spot-
ted at the end of a programme, where
water has not run off smoothly.
Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.
Damage due to caustic alkaline
detergents.
Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease fil-
ters of cooker hoods) can be dam-
aged by caustic alkaline detergents.
In extreme cases, there is a risk of an
explosive chemical reaction (such as
an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reac-
tion).
Aluminium components must not be
cleaned in the dishwasher with
caustic alkaline commercial or indus-
trial detergents.
Tip: When purchasing new crockery
and cutlery, make sure they are dish-
washer-proof 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, ensure that only a
special glass care programme with
very low temperatures is selected
(see “Programme overview”). This will
reduce the risk of clouding.
- Purchase glassware that is dish-
washer-safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).
- Use detergents with glass protective
additives.

Damage due to leaking water.
If you run the dishwasher without the
upper basket, water can leak out of
the dishwasher.
Only run the dishwasher with the up-
per basket in place (except during
the programmeTall items , if avail-
able).
Use the upper basket for small, light-
weight and delicate items such as

Active ingredients
Damage caused by using unsuit-
able 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 act-
ive 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, cof-
fee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents are mildly
alkaline and contain enzymes and oxy-
gen-based bleaching agents.
There are different types of detergent:
- Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the size of the load and level of soil-
ing.
- Tab detergents. These are suitable for
most levels of soiling.
As well as the usual detergents, com-
bination products are also available.
These contain rinse aid and water
softener (dishwasher salt).
Only use these combination detergents
for the water hardness levels recom-
mended by the manufacturer on the
packaging.
The cleaning and drying performance of
these combination detergents can vary
greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying res-
ults, use dishwasher detergent and
add salt and rinse aid separately.
Detergent
66
Risk of chemical burns from de-
tergent.
Dishwasher detergents can cause
burning on the skin and in the eyes,
nose, mouth and throat.
Avoid contact with detergents.
Do not inhale powder detergents. Do
not swallow dishwasher detergents.
Seek medical attention immediately if
detergent has been swallowed or in-
haled.
Keep children away from detergents.
Detergent residues could still be
present in the dishwasher. Keep chil-
dren away from the dishwasher when
the door is open. Do not fill the de-
tergent dispenser until just before
starting the programme and activate
the door safety lock (depending on
model).
Detergent dosage
There are two ways of dispensing the
detergent.
During automatic dispensing the Auto-
Dos will automatically dispense the re-
quired amount of detergent for each
programme sequence once a
PowerDisk has been inserted (see “De-
tergent” chapter, “Automatic dispens-
ing/AutoDos” section).
If you do not wish to use automatic dis-
pensing, you can manually dispense the
detergent into the detergent compart-
ment. This means you will have to fill
the required amount of detergent into
the detergent compartment before each
programme (see “Detergent” chapter,
“Manual detergent dispensing” section).
Detergent
67
Automatic dispensing/AutoDos
Before you can use AutoDos, you must
insert a PowerDisk containing powder
detergent into the PowerDisk compart-
ment.
One PowerDisk contains enough deter-
gent for approx. 20cycles, depending
on the chosen programme.
PowerDisks are available to order dir-
ectly from Miele’s online store, the
Miele Customer Service Department
or from your Miele dealer.
Risk of chemical burns from re-
sidual 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 im-
mediately.
Activating AutoDos
Switch the dishwasher on using the
sensor control.
Before you first use AutoDos, remove
the transport lock from the PowerDisk
compartment and dispose of it ap-
propriately.
Insert a PowerDisk (see the “Auto-
matic dispensing/AutoDos” chapter,
“Inserting a PowerDisk” section).
The AutoDosfunction will be activated
automatically.
This setting applies to all programmes
and you can change it in a pro-
gramme's Extras menu.
If no programme is started for 48
hours, the PowerDisk will automatic-
ally be rotated so that the detergent
does not clump together. If this hap-
pens, the messagePowder refresh in
progress will be shown in the display
when the dishwasher is switched on.
No detergent will be dispensed.
Detergent
68
Inserting a PowerDisk
Switch on the dishwasher before you
replace the PowerDisk so that the
dishwasher recognises it.
When the messagePowerDisk almost
empty appears, the reservoir contains
sufficient detergent for two to three pro-
grammes only.
Only replace the PowerDisk when the
messagePowerDisk empty. Deactivate
AutoDos with OK. appears.
Turn the AutoDos lid to and open
it.
The messageAutoDos lid open will ap-
pear 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 the
“Cleaning and care” chapter, “Clean-
ing the AutoDos” section).
Put the holder back into place so that
the arrows point towards each other
and the holder lies flat.
When doing this, only touch the
PowerDisk holder by the yellow tab in
the middle. Do not touch the side tab.
Insert the new PowerDisk and press it
evenly downwards until it sits flush.
Detergent
69
Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until
the lid handle is directly below the
symbol.
If the PowerDisk is not in the correct
starting position, it will be rotated auto-
matically and the AutoDosfunction will
be activated.
Wait until this procedure ends 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. Oth-
erwise, the AutoDos may become
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 fluid.
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 the “Cleaning and
care” chapter, “Cleaning the AutoDos”
section).

Manual detergent dispensing
Detergent must be manually dispensed
if you have deactivated automatic dis-
pensing in a programme's Extras menu.
Detergent dispensing
The detergent compartment holds a
maximum of 50ml.
There are marks in the detergent com-
partment to aid with dispensing: 20, 30,
max. When the door is opened to a ho-
rizontal position, they show the approx-
imate fill level in ml and the maximum
fill height.
Follow the detergent dosage recom-
mended by the manufacturer on the
packaging.
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 30ml of
detergent to the detergent compart-
ment, depending on the degree of
soiling of the crockery.
Failure to dispense the recommended
amount of detergent may impair clean-
ing results.
Some tabs may not dissolve completely
when the programme QuickPowerWash
is used.
Adding detergent
Press the yellow button on the lid
of the detergent compartment.
The lid will spring open.
The lid will also open at the end of a
programme.
Add the detergent to the detergent
compartment.
Push the lid shut until you hear it click
into place.
Detergent
71
The detergent must not cause the
detergent compartment lid to get
stuck. This can prevent the lid from
opening during the programme se-
quence.
Do not overfill the detergent com-
partment.
If you wish, deactivate automatic dis-
pensing/AutoDos.
Ensure that the detergent packaging
is properly closed after use. This pre-
vents 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 over-
view”).

Operation
73
Display of programme duration
The estimated duration of the selected
programme appears on the display be-
fore the programme begins. If the door
is opened during the programme, the
time left until the end of the programme
is displayed.
The displayed duration may vary for the
same programme. It is influenced by,
for example, the temperature of the in-
coming 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 aver-
age programme duration for a cold wa-
ter connection.
The programme durations shown in the
“Programme overview” chapter refer to
standard test loads and temperatures.
Each time a programme is run, the con-
trol module calculates the programme
duration according to the temperature
of the water taken into the dishwasher
and the size of the load.
Starting the programme
Start the programme by closing the
door.
If necessary, confirm the previously
displayed messages with OK.
The in-operation indicator light comes
on to confirm that a programme se-
quence has been started.
Risk of scalding due to hot wa-
ter.
During operation, water in the dish-
washer may be very hot.
During operation, only open the door
with extreme caution.
Operation
74
End of programme
At the end of a programme, the optical
in-operation indicator light will flash
slowly with the door shut. The buzzer
might also sound.
The optical in-operation indicator light
will go out 10minutes after the end of
the programme if the door is closed.
The programme has ended when the
display shows the message Finished.
In some programmes, if the AutoOpen
function is activated, the door will auto-
matically open slightly (see “Settings –
AutoOpen”). This improves the drying
process.
If the Consumptionprogrammable func-
tion is switched on, you can now call up
the actual energy and water consump-
tion of the programme that has just fin-
ished (see “Caring for the environment –
EcoFeedback consumption indicator”).
The drying fan may continue to run for
a few minutes at the end of the pro-
gramme.
Risk of damage due to steam.
Steam from the dishwasher could
damage the edges of delicate work-
tops when you open the door at the
end of the programme if the fan is no
longer running.
If you have deactivated the auto-
matic 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 10 minutes
after the last time a sensor control is
pressed or after the end of a pro-
gramme.
You can switch the dishwasher back on
again with the sensor control.
If the dishwasher has been switched off
for longer than 1minute, you will need
to hold the sensor control for a bit
longer (wipe protection).
The dishwasher will not switch itself
off whilst a programme is running or if
there is a fault.
Operation
75
Switching off the dishwasher
Open the door.
The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the sensor con-
trol.
Confirm the query Switch appliance off?
with Yes.
Switching the dishwasher off during a
programme stops the programme.
You can also do this to stop an ongoing
timer.
Risk of damage from leaking wa-
ter.
Leaking 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 stopcock
should be closed as a precaution.
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 3D
MultiFlex tray (if present).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and 3D MultiFlex tray
from falling onto the dishes in the
lower basket.
Operation
76
Interrupting a programme
A programme will be interrupted as
soon as the door is opened.
If the door is closed again, the pro-
gramme will continue from the point it
was at before the door was opened.
Risk of scalding due to hot wa-
ter.
During operation, water in the dish-
washer may be very hot.
During operation, only open the door
with extreme caution.
Cancelling or changing a pro-
gramme
If a programme is cancelled, import-
ant programme stages may be
missed.
A programme should only be can-
celled in the first few minutes of the
programme sequence.
If a programme has already started and
you wish to cancel it, proceed as fol-
lows:
Open the door.

Further programmes
SolarSave
Programme operating without heating
when the dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply of at least 45°C (see
“Installation – Water inlet”). This pro-
gramme is suitable for cleaning a mixed
load with normal household food
residues that have slightly dried on.
PowerWash60°C
Programme for cleaning a mixed load
with normal household food residues.
Tallitems65°C
Programme for especially large, temper-
ature-resistant items such as very large
pots/pans. In order to make space for
large items in the lower basket, remove
the upper basket for washing with this
programme.
Pasta/Paella
Programme with long soak phases for
mixed crockery, pots, pans, and non-
delicate porcelain. This programme is
especially suitable for removing soiling
containing starch left by potatoes,
pasta and rice.
Glasses
This programme does not use rinse aid
and omits the drying phase. It is partic-
ularly suitable for cleaning beer glasses
where a good head of froth is needed.
Maintenance programme
The dishwasher wash cabinet is gener-
ally self-cleaning. However, if residues
or deposits occur, use the Mainten-
anceprogramme to clean it. The dish-
washer must not be loaded for this pro-
gramme. This programme is designed
for cleaning the wash cabinet using
care products (dishwasher cleaner/
dishwasher conditioner) (see “Optional
accessories” chapter, “Appliance care”
section). Follow the instructions on the
packaging. When using dishwasher
care products, detergent should not be
dispensed. For this reason, automatic
dispensing (if available) will be deactiv-
ated for this programme.
Extras
87
Selecting extras
You can use extras to adjust the pro-
grammes.
To do this, you can select or deselect
the extras in the Extras menu of a se-
lected programme before starting it.
Open the door.
Switch the dishwasher on using the
sensor control.
Select a different programme as re-
quired.
All available extras are shown in the dis-
play.
Not all extras can be selected in every
programme or used in combination.
Extras that are not available are
greyed out and cannot be selected.
Select the extras you want.
The selected extras are marked in or-
ange.
If you want to cancel the selection of
an extra, touch the sensor control for
the extra again.
When you have made all the settings
you want, close the door to start the
programme.
The selected extras will remain active
for that particular programme until the
settings are changed (except for the
ECO programme).
Extras
88
IntenseZone
The IntenseZoneextra increases clean-
ing performance in the lower basket.
Energy consumption increases due to
the extended wash duration in the lower
basket and increased temperature.
Express
The Expressextra reduces the pro-
gramme duration.
In order to achieve optimum cleaning
results, the temperature, and therefore
the energy consumption, will increase
with this option.
The time by which the programme dura-
tion is shortened varies according to the
selected programme.
Selecting the Expressextra may take
precedence over other selected op-
tions.
When used in combination with the
QuickPowerWashprogramme, the Ex-
pressextra results in a wash pro-
gramme designed solely for the pur-
pose of rinsing the cabinet to remove
salt solution that leaked out after re-
filling the salt reservoir.
Extraclean
You can select this extra to increase the
cleaning performance of the pro-
grammes.
If you activate this extra, the pro-
gramme durations and the main wash
temperatures will increase. The water
and energy consumption may increase.
Extradry
You can select this extra to increase the
programme's drying performance.
If you activate this extra, the pro-
gramme durations and final rinse tem-
peratures will increase. The energy con-
sumption may increase.
Cleaning and care
89
Check the condition of your dish-
washer regularly (approx. every 4–6
months). In this way, faults and prob-
lems can be avoided.
Damage due to unsuitable clean-
ing agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or discol-
our the external surfaces.
Only use cleaning agents formulated
for use on the relevant surfaces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean-
ing, 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 in-
side the wash cabinet. Run the Intens-
ive 75°C programme once per 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 overview
– Additional programmes”) with
dishwasher cleaner (see “Optional ac-
cessories – Appliance care”). Follow the
instructions on the product packaging.
Miele cleaning and care products are
available to order from the Miele Cus-
tomer Service Department or from the
Miele online shop.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Cleaning and care
90
Hygiene cycle
If you mainly use low temperature pro-
grammes, 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 pro-
gramme. This is to prevent the build-up
of residues and odours.
You can activate or deactivate a Hy-
giene info message (see “Settings – Hy-
giene cycle”).
If you deactivate this message, run the
Intensive75°Cprogramme once per
month to clean the wash cabinet and
prevent odours from developing.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
The door seal and the sides of the dish-
washer door cannot be reached and
cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a res-
ult, mould can develop here.
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe off any food or drink residues
that may have dripped onto the sides
of dishwasher door.
Cleaning the control panel
The control panel should only be
wiped with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the reflector panel
The reflector panel for the optical in-op-
eration indicator light is situated on the
protective foil underneath the worktop.
The reflector panel should only be
cleaned with a damp cloth if neces-
sary.
Cleaning and care
91
Cleaning the appliance front
Damage due to soiling.
Soiling that is left too long might be-
come impossible to remove and
could cause the external surfaces to
alter or discolour.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Clean the appliance front with a clean
soft sponge and a solution of warm
water and washing-up liquid. After
cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using
a soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfibre cloth
without detergent can also be used.
To avoid damaging the external sur-
faces, do not use the following:
- Detergents containing soda, ammo-
nia, acids or chlorides
- Detergents containing descaling
agents
- Abrasive detergents, e.g. scouring
powder, scouring liquid, or pumice
stones
- Detergents containing solvents
- Stainless steel cleaning agents
- Dishwasher cleaner
- Oven cleaner
- Glass cleaning agents
- Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges that have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
- Eraser stain remover blocks
- Sharp metal scrapers
- Wire wool
- Steam cleaners
Cleaning and care
92
Cleaning the AutoDos
If the Clean AutoDos message is dis-
played, check that the fill channel is
clean, and clean it if necessary, e.g.
powder residues. 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 Fill channel for dispensing the deter-
gent from the PowerDisk into the wash
cabinet
Turn the AutoDos lid to and open
it.
Remove the PowerDisk if appropriate.
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
93
Clean the fill channel using water and
a soft brush if necessary.
It is very important that no moisture
gets inside the AutoDos system dur-
ing cleaning.
Dry the fill channel well so that the
detergent powder does not clump to-
gether.
Insert the fill channel again 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 to-
wards 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 turn it until
the lid handle is directly below the
symbol. (see “Detergent – 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
94
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm nozzles and bearings. The
spray arms should therefore be inspec-
ted 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.
When cleaning the filters and spray
arms, make sure that coarse soiling
cannot get into the circulation sys-
tem.

without the lower spray arm or
without the filters.
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
97
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 sys-
tem 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.
When cleaning the filters and spray
arms, make sure that coarse soiling
cannot get into the circulation sys-
tem.
The filters can become blocked by soil-
ing that collects over time. The level of
soiling and the time it takes before the
filters need cleaning will vary depending
on use.
The messageRemove filters and clean
them if necessary will appear in the dis-
play after every 50 programme cycles.
Check the filter combination.
Clean it, if necessary.
Then confirm the message with OK.
Cleaning the filters
Switch the dishwasher off.
Remove the lower spray arm (see
“Cleaning and care” chapter, “Clean-
ing the spray arms” section).

combination using the screw connec-
tion.
Rotate the screw connection clock-
wise until the arrow in the viewing
window points to the lock symbol.
Damage due to soiling entering
the circulation system.
The lower spray arm is used to se-
cure the filter combination. Without
filters, coarse soiling can enter the
circulation system and cause a
blockage.
Do not run a wash programme
without the lower spray arm or
without the filters.
Cleaning and care
99
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw
thread to protect the water inlet valve. If
the filter is soiled, insufficient water
flows into the wash cabinet.
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
The plastic housing of the water con-
nection contains an electrical valve.
The housing must not be dipped in
water.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains.
To do this, turn off the dishwasher,
switch off at the socket and remove
the plug.
Close the stopcock.
Unscrew the water inlet valve.
Remove the seal from the screw
thread.
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter slat and remove the filter.

The Miele Waterproof system
Provided that your dishwasher has
been installed correctly, the Miele Wa-
terproof system will protect you from
water damage throughout its lifetime.
Water inlet
Health risk due to wash water.
Water in the dishwasher is not drink-
ing water.
Do not drink any water from the dish-
washer.
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking wa-
ter specification of the country in
which the dishwasher is being oper-
ated.
Connect the dishwasher to a drinking
water supply.
The dishwasher may be connected to
cold or hot water (up to max. 60°C)
supplies.
If energy-saving water heating sources
such as solar energy circulation sys-
tems are used, we recommend con-
necting to the hot water supply. This
saves both time and electrical energy
costs. Hot water is used in all pro-
grammes.
The SolarSaveprogramme (if available)
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 temperat-
ure, the better the cleaning and drying
results.
The water inlet hose is approx. 1.5m
long. A 1.5m long, flexible metal exten-
sion hose (tested to
14,000kPa/140bar) is available as an
optional accessory from Miele specialist
dealers or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
A stopcock with a ¾"threaded union is
required for the connection. If a stop-
cock is not available, only a qualified in-
staller may connect the dishwasher to
the drinking water supply.
The water connection pressure must be
between 50 and 1000kPa. If the water
connection pressure is too high, a pres-
sure reducing valve must be fitted.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
123
Risk of damage from leaking wa-
ter.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure. Water leaking
from it can cause damage.
You should therefore open the stop-
cock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the seal and
screw thread if appropriate.
Regulation in Germany
For the protection of drinking water, the
non-return valve supplied with the dish-
washer must be installed between the
stopcock and the water inlet hose.
Screw the non-return valve onto the
stopcock.
Screw the water inlet hose onto the
thread of the non-return valve.
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 oper-
ated when it is connected to a fully
vented plumbing system.
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
There are electrical components in
the water inlet hose.
The inlet hose must not be shortened
or damaged in any way (see illustra-
tion).
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
124
Water drainage
The dishwasher’s drainage system is fit-
ted with a non-return valve, which pre-
vents dirty water from flowing back into
the appliance via the drain hose.
The dishwasher is supplied with ap-
prox.1.5m of flexible drain hose with
an internal diameter of 22mm.
The drain 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 fitted to the
drainage outlet on site, use the hose
clip supplied (see 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 dia-
meters. If the connector extends too far
into the drain hose, it must be
shortened. Otherwise, the drain hose
can become blocked.
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 tension.
Risk of damage from leaking wa-
ter.
Leaking water can cause damage.
After commissioning, make sure that
the water is not leaking.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
125
Venting the water drain
If the on-site drainage connection is
situated lower than the guide path for
the lower basket rollers in the open
door, the drainage system must be ven-
ted. Otherwise, a siphoning effect dur-
ing a programme can cause the appli-
ance 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.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
126
Electrical connection
The dishwasher is “connector-ready” as
standard for connection to an earthed
socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the dishwasher has been installed.
If that is not possible, ensure that a
suitable means of disconnection is
provided on the installation side for
each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the dishwasher to a
multi-socket adapter or to an exten-
sion lead can overload the mains
connection cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension lead or multi-socket adapter.
The electrical installation must comply
with VDE0100 requirements.
For safety reasons, we recommend us-
ing a type residual current device
(RCD) in the assigned electrical installa-
tion for connecting the dishwasher.
If the mains connection cable is dam-
aged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains connection cable of the
same type (available from the Miele
Customer Service Department). For
safety reasons, such replacement may
only be carried out by a qualified spe-
cialist or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
These operating instructions and the
data plate indicate the nominal power
consumption and the appropriate fuse
rating. Compare this information with
the data of the on-site electrical con-
nection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not syn-
chronised with the mains power supply
(e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation
is that the power supply system com-
plies with the specifications of
EN50160 or an equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the pro-
tective measures provided in the do-
mestic electrical installation and in this
Miele product must also be maintained
in isolated operation or in operation that
is not synchronised with the mains
power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in
the installation. As described, for ex-
ample, in the current version of BS OH-
SAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.
