and cannot be removed separately. As a result, electricity
consumption cannot be measured separately.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Correct installation
Do not install this dishwasher in an area where there is a risk of
explosion or freezing conditions.
Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protective
gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.
To ensure the stability of built-under dishwashers, they must only
be installed beneath a continuous worktop that is bolted to the
adjacent cabinetry.
In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the
furniture in the area around the dishwasher should be designed for
commercial use.
Delicate furniture can be protected by installing the steam protection
kit optional accessory. The vapour barrier film needs to be adhered
to the underside of the worktop where the dishwasher door is
opened.
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.
The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the
factory fitted door springs is 10–12kg (depending on model).
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Technical safety
This dishwasher must only be installed, commissioned, repaired
and maintained by Miele Professional Service or a suitably qualified
service technician. Unauthorised installation, maintenance and
repairs can pose a considerable risk to the user.
In the case of commercial dishwashers, they must only be
operated by appropriately trained personnel. They must be
instructed and trained regularly.
Before using the dishwasher, check it for any externally visible
damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged
appliance. A damaged appliance could be dangerous.
In the event of a damaged or leaking dishwasher, switch off at the
power supply immediately and call Miele Professional Service.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele
guarantee the safety standards of the appliance.
The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested
by a qualified electrician.
Please follow the advice on installation in these instructions and
the separate Installation diagram.
Before connecting the dishwasher, ensure that the connection
data on the data plate (voltage, frequency and fuse rating) match the
mains electrical supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening
mechanism (depending on model) is working correctly, as otherwise
there could be a danger when the automatic door opening is
activated.
The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the
factory fitted door springs is 10–12kg (depending on 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.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. There
is a danger of overheating and risk of fire if the dishwasher were to
be pushed up against a plug. See “Electrical connection”.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply by
a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Never open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical
connections or components and mechanical parts is highly
dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
The dishwasher must not be used if the electrical connection
cable is damaged. A damaged connection cable may only be
replaced by a suitable connection cable of the same type. For safety
reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by Miele
Professional Service or a Miele authorised technician.
This dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains two
electrical components. It must not be dipped in water.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
There are electrical 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
where it can be seen that this is necessary.
- The taps have been turned off during longer periods of inactivity
(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 manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the dishwasher
is not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions
16
Correct use
This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and cleaning
agents suitable for use in commercial dishwashers only. Organic
solvents and flammable liquid agents must not be used in it.
This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic
components in the dishwasher and cause liquids to leak out of it.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip
over it and be injured by it.
Do not sit, stand or lean on the opened door. The dishwasher may
tip or be damaged.
After any plumbing work, the water pipework to the dishwasher
will need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be
damaged.
Please be aware that the dishwasher may be operating at high
temperatures. When the door is opened there is a danger of burning
or scalding. Items, baskets and inserts must be allowed to cool
down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining in containers
could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash cabinet before
taking them out.
The water in the wash cabinet must not be used as drinking water.
Pre-treating items (for example with washing-up liquid and other
cleaning agents) as well as some types of soiling and some cleaning
agents can cause a build-up of foam in the wash cabinet. Foam can
have an adverse effect on the cleaning result.
Foam escaping from the wash cabinet can cause damage to the
dishwasher. If foam escapes, the programme must be cancelled
immediately and the machine must be disconnected from the mains
electrical supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
17
Depending on the properties of the flooring and footwear worn on
it, liquids can cause a slipping hazard. As far as possible, please
keep the floor dry and remove any liquids immediately using suitable
materials. Appropriate protective measures are to be employed when
removing hazardous substances and hot liquids.
When using cleaning agents and specialised products, it is
essential that the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Cleaning
agents must only be used for the purpose they are designed for by
the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of
strong chemical reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).
Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical cleaning
agents may have on the material of the items being cleaned.
Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions with regard
to storage conditions, use and dosage.
Do not inhale or ingest powder cleaning agent. Do not swallow
dishwasher cleaning agents. They can cause burning in the nose,
mouth and throat. Seek medical attention immediately if cleaning
agent has been swallowed or inhaled.
Persons 16 years and older may refill cleaning chemicals or
change canisters if they have been correctly instructed on how to do
so.
Powder and liquid detergents containing active chlorine must not
be used. You may damage plastic parts and the seals of the
dishwasher.
To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids
or solutions containing chloride to get into the wash cabinet or onto
the casing. Similarly avoid any ferrous materials with a corrosive
effect.
Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease
or paint in the dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the
dishwasher.
Warning and Safety instructions
18
Do not hose the dishwasher or near vicinity down to clean it, e.g.
with a hose or a pressure washer.
Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and
positioning them in the dishwasher that you do not hurt yourself or
create a danger for others. Knives and other utensils with sharp
points must be loaded with the pointed end facing downwards or
placed in a horizontal position.
Remove any coarse food deposits and empty out any containers
or utensils before loading them in the dishwasher.
Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be
extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is
open. Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion
of the wash cycle.
Safety with children
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher. Do
not let children play with the dishwasher. There is a danger that
children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only operate the dishwasher unsupervised if
they have been taught how to operate it safely. Children must be
able to understand and recognise the possible dangers caused by
incorrect operation.
If the automatic door opening mechanism is active, keep young
children away from the area in which the door opens. There is a
danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the opening
mechanism.
Warning and Safety instructions
19
Keep children away from chemical agents. These contain irritant
and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth and
throat, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher
when the door is open. There could still be residual process
chemicals in the cabinet. Seek medical advice immediately if a child
has swallowed or inhaled chemical agents.
Accessories
Only use original Miele accessories. Using spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty,
and Miele cannot accept liability.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your dishwasher.
Transport
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 cables.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.
Caring for the environment
20
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.

Do not put your hand inside the door
as it is closing.
Commissioning
27
Reactivation salt
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in the build-up of calcium
deposits on dishes and on the inner
surfaces of 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 6.5mmol/l
(36°dH - German scale).
In order to maintain the functioning of
the water softener, it must be
reactivated regularly. Reactivation
occurs automatically in every ninth
programme sequence. At the start of
the next programme, an additional 4.4l
of water is required for this process.
Energy consumption increases by
0.015kWh and the programme is
extended by 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 reactivation 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 “Detergents - Types of
detergents”).
Damage caused by using
unsuitable salts.
Some types of salt may contain
insoluble components which can
cause the water softener to
malfunction.
Only use special coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure
evaporated salts for reactivation.
Damage to the water softener
from detergents.
Dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
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”).
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.
Commissioning
28
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.
Fill the salt reservoir with approx.
2litres of water (first use only).
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
dishwasher salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds 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.
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 cap, immediately run the
Cold pre-wash programme
without any dishes. 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.
Commissioning
29
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.
Washing-up liquid or detergent
can cause damage.
Washing-up liquid and dishwasher
detergent will damage the rinse aid
reservoir.
Only fill it with rinse aid formulated
for domestic dishwashers.
Alternatively, you can use liquid citric
acid with up to 10% acid content. The
dishes will, however, be more moist and
stained than with rinse aid.
Risk of acid damage.
The dishwasher can be damaged by
acids with a higher concentration.
Never use citric acid or vinegar with
a higher acid content.
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.
Commissioning
30
Adding rinse aid
Lift the yellow button on the lid of the
rinse aid container .
The lid will 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.
110ml.
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
programmes.
Add rinse aid in good time.
Confirm with OK.
The refill rinse aid reminder will go out.

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.
- Make full use of the basket capacity
without overloading the dishwasher.
This results in the most economical
dishwashing 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 ECO programme for
energy-saving dishwashing. This
programme is the most efficient in
terms of its combined energy and
water consumption for cleaning
crockery with a normal level of
soiling.
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
- If you are manually dosing the
detergent, reduce the amount of
detergent by
1
/
3
when using powder
detergent if the baskets are only half
full.
You can find further tips on energy-
saving dishwashing in Miele’s guide to
dishwashing at www.miele.com.

EcoFeedback consumption
display
The "Consumption" function is used for
calling up information about the water
consumption of your dishwasher (see
"Settings - Consumption
(EcoFeedback)").
The following information can be
viewed in the display:
- An estimate of the consumption
before the programme begins
- The actual consumption at the end of
the programme
- The total consumption of the
dishwasher to date
1. Consumption estimate
After a programme has been selected,
first the name of the programme and
after a few seconds the estimated water
consumption will appear in the
display.
The estimated consumption will be
shown as a bar chart. The more bars
that are shown (), the higher the
water consumption.
The values are influenced by the
programme, any programme options
selected, the ambient conditions and
the size of the load.
The display will change automatically
from showing the estimated
consumption to showing the time
remaining.
The estimated consumption function is
activated as standard. It can be
deactivated, if preferred (see “Settings -
Consumption”).
2. Displaying consumption
At the end of the programme, you can
call up the actual water consumption
for the programme that has just been
run.
Confirm the message Consumption
(OK) with OK.
Switching the dishwasher off at the
end of the programme will delete the
actual consumption values for the
programme that has just been
completed.
3. Total consumption
You can call up the total consumption
of water for all programmes you have
run on your dishwasher to date (see
“Settings - Consumption”).

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 flutes 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 be
placed in the 3D MultiFlex tray or in
the 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
34
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
Silverware that has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
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, ensure that only a
special glass care programme with
very low temperatures (see
Programme chart) is selected. This
will reduce the risk of clouding.
- Purchase glassware that is
dishwasher safe (e.g. Riedel
glassware).
- Use detergents with glass protective
additives.
- Visit "http://
www.mieleglasscare.com" for more
information on glass care.

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 powder detergent. 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).
Damage can be caused by
detergents containing active
chlorine.
Powder and liquid detergents
containing active chlorine must not
be used. You may damage plastic
parts and the seals of the
dishwasher.
Do not use detergents containing
active chlorine.
Application
The detergent selected should match
the setting in which it is being used. If
the dishwasher is being used in a
commercial setting, commercial
detergents are recommended.Some
detergents for commercial use in your
dishwasher can be ordered on the Miele
website:
https://www.miele.com.au/professional/
accessories-dishwashers-441.htm
If the dishwasher is being used in a
domestic setting, detergents for
domestic dishwashers are
recommended, e.g. from the Miele
product range.
Powder detergent and other
consumables for use in a domestic
setting can be conveniently ordered via
the Miele@mobile App or on the Miele
website:
https://www.miele.com.au/domestic/
miele-dishwasher-detergents-1812.htm
Detergent
49
Powder detergent and
detergent tabs
Use powder detergent or detergent
tabs only in the door dispenser
compartment.
Only use detergent tabs that are
quick dissolving.
Suitable tabs are available from the
Miele detergent range. If you are
using combination detergents (tabs
which contain not only a cleaning
function, but also rinse aid and water
softening functions), depending on
the water quality, it is recommended
to add rinse aid and reactivation salt
due to the short programme running
times.
Add powder detergent or detergent
tabs to the detergent compartment.
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.
They also indicate the approximate fill
level in grams for powder cleaning
agents, depending on the manufacturer
and the coarseness.
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.
Detergent

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.
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”).

dosage.
For special soiling or if using liquid
detergent dispensed by a liquid
detergent pump, contact Miele for
advice on how to adapt the detergent
dosage to the particular
circumstances.
Refilling or changing
containers
The DOS module is equipped with a
level indicator which shows the
message Refill detergent in the display
when the level drops below the
minimum.
As soon as the message appears in
the display, refill or replace the
container with a full one at the end of
the programme.
Confirm the message shown with the
OK button.
Replace the container in good time
to prevent the dispensing system
being emptied completely.
An empty dispensing system must
be vented before starting the next
programme.
Place the container on the open
cabinet door or on a surface which is
easy to clean.
Take the lid off the container and
remove the suction lance. Place the
suction lance on the open wash
cabinet door.
Fill or replace the container, fit the
suction lance and secure the lid.
Observe the colour coding.

container until it reaches the bottom.
Wipe up any spilled process chemical
thoroughly.
Place the container on the floor
beside the dishwasher or in an
adjacent cupboard. The container
must be at the same level as the
machine and not be placed on top of
or above the machine.
The DOS system must then be
vented.
Checking consumption
Monitor the amount of process
chemicals used by regularly checking
the level in the container in order to
detect any dispensing irregularities.
Detergent
52
Changing detergent
If you want to change the cleaning
agent, the dispensing system must first
be rinsed with water in order to avoid a
reaction due to the mixing of cleaning
agents.
Remove the suction lance from the
container and place it in a container
of water.
Start "Vent dispensing system" twice
(see "Settings menu - External
dispensing") to rinse the dispensing
system.

is displayed.
Symbols appear to indicate which stage
the programme is at:
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 amount of
crockery and how soiled it is.
When a programme is selected for the
first time, the display will show the
average programme duration for a
warm 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
Start the programme by closing the
door.
Confirm the previously displayed
message with OK.
The in-operation indicator light comes
on to show that a programme has been
started.
If the door is opened during a

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 fully after switching off
the dishwasher.
First unload the lower basket, then
the upper basket, and finally the 3D
MultiFlex tray (if available).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and 3D MultiFlex tray
from falling onto the dishes in the
lower basket.

Maintenance
To prolong the service life of the
dishwasher, maintenance should be
carried out at least once a year by
Miele Professional Service.
Maintenance covers the following:
- Electrical safety according to national
regulations
- Door mechanism and door seal
- Any screw connections and
connectors in the wash cabinet
- Water inlet and drainage
- Internal and external dispensing
systems
- Spray arms
- Filter combination
- Sump including drain pump and non-
return valve
- All baskets and inserts
The following operational tests will be
carried out as part of the maintenance:
- A programme will be run as a test run
- Seals will be tested for water
tightness
- All relevant measuring systems will
be safety tested, including fault
displays
- Safety features
Check 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 the external
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.
If, despite this, limescale or grease
deposits build up in the cabinet, these
can be removed with a proprietary
dishwasher cleaner (available from
Miele directly or the Miele webshop).
Follow the instructions on the product
packaging.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Cleaning and care
70
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.
Wipe off any food or drink residues
which may have dripped onto the
sides and seals of the dishwasher
door with a damp cloth on a regular
basis to prevent the build-up of
mould.
Cleaning the control panel
The control panel should only be
wiped with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the reflector panel
The reflector panel for the in-operation
indicator light is situated on the cover
sheeting underneath the worktop.
The reflector panel should only be
cleaned with a damp cloth if
necessary.
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.
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.
Cleaning and care
71
To avoid damaging the external
surfaces of the appliance, do not use:
- cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acid or chloride
- 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
72
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).
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.
Switch the dishwasher off.
Removing the upper and middle
spray arms
Take out the 3D MultiFlex tray (if
present).
Push the upper spray arm upwards to
engage the inner ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm by rotating the
screw thread anti-clockwise
(overhead perspective).
Rotate the screw thread of the middle
spray arm clockwise (overhead
perspective) (see diagram) and
remove the spray arm.
Removing the lower spray arm
Remove the lower basket.
Rotate the screw thread of the lower
spray arm anti-clockwise and pull
the spray arm upwards to remove.
Cleaning and care
73
Cleaning the spray arms
Use a pointed object to push food
particles stuck in the jets into the
spray arm.
Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under
running water.
Refitting the spray arms
Refit the upper and middle spray
arms.
Refit the lower spray arm and ensure
that the filter combination lies flat in
the base of the wash cabinet.
Rotate the screw thread of the lower
spray arm clockwise until the arrow in
the viewing window points to the lock
symbol.
Make sure the spray arms can rotate
freely.
Damage due to soiling entering
the circulation system.
The lower spray arm is used to
secure the filter combination.
Without filters, coarse soiling can
enter the circulation system and
cause a blockage.
Do not run a wash programme
without the lower spray arm or
without the filters fitted.
Cleaning and care
74
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.
Cleaning the filters
Switch the dishwasher off.
Remove the lower spray arm (see
“Cleaning and care - Cleaning the
spray arms”).
Before removing the filter
combination, remove any coarse
soiling to prevent it from entering the
circulation system.

Cleaning and care
75
In order to clean the inside of the
filter, pull the microfilter by the plastic
ring downwards and away from the
filter combination.
Rinse all the parts under running
water.
If necessary, use a soft cleaning
brush to remove soiling.
Push the microfilter back onto the
filter combination.
Refit the filter combination so that it
lies flat in the base of the wash
cabinet.
Refit the lower spray arm to the filter
combination using the screw thread.
Rotate the screw thread clockwise
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
secure 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 fitted.
Cleaning and care
76
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.
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
valve.
The housing must not be dipped in
water.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains power supply.
To do this, switch off at the socket
and withdraw the plug.
Turn off the tap.
Unscrew the water inlet valve.
Take the sealing washer out of the
screw thread.
Using combination or pointed pliers,
take hold of the plastic filter bar and
remove the filter.
Rinse the filter under running water.
Reassemble in reverse order.
Screw the threaded union securely
back onto the tap. Slowly turn on the
tap. If water drips out, tighten the
connection.
Never forget to put the filter back in
place after cleaning.
Cleaning and care
77
Cleaning the drain pump
If water remains in the wash cabinet
after the end of a programme, the water
has not been pumped away. The drain
pump may be blocked by foreign
objects. These foreign objects are easy
to remove.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains power supply.
To do this, switch off at the socket
and withdraw the plug.
Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and care
- Cleaning the filters”).
Scoop the water out of the wash
cabinet using a small container.
Press the catch of the drain pump
cover inwards.
Tip the cover inwards until it is
released.
Rinse the cover thoroughly under
running water and remove all foreign
objects.
Cleaning and care
78
The drain pump (see arrow) is
underneath the cover.
Risk of injury from glass
splinters.
It is especially difficult to see glass
splinters in the drain pump.
Take care when cleaning the drain
pump.
Carefully remove all foreign objects
from the drain pump. Turn the drain
pump impeller by hand to check that
there are no more obstructions. You
will feel a little resistance when you
turn the impeller.
Refit the cover in the reverse order of
removing it.
Ensure that the catch engages
correctly.
Damage caused by incorrect
cleaning.
The components are delicate and
can be damaged during cleaning.
Take care when cleaning the drain
pump.

Electrical connection
All work on the electrical
connection must be carried out by
the Miele Professional Service
Department, a Miele authorised
technician or a qualified electrician.
- The electrical installation must
comply with current local and
national safety regulations.
- The connection to the power supply
must comply with national
regulations (plug and socket must be
accessible for service and
maintenance work after the machine
has been installed). An electrical
safety test must be carried out after
installation and after any service
work.
- If the dishwasher is hard wired to the
power supply, connection should be
made via a mains switch with all-pole
isolation. The mains switch must
ensure a 3mm gap between all open
contacts, and must be able to be
locked in the off position. The means
for disconnection must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules.
- Equipotential bonding should be
carried out if required.
- If replacing the mains connection
cable, use only original Miele
replacement parts or a suitable cable
with core cable ends.
- For technical data see data plate or
wiring diagram supplied.
The machine must only be operated
with the voltage, frequency and fusing
shown on the data plate.
This machine can be converted to a
different type of power supply in
accordance with the conversion
diagram and wiring diagram supplied.
Converting the machine to a different
type of power supply can lead to
longer programme durations,
resulting in increased energy
consumption in some programmes.
The values declared on the label will
only be achieved if the machine
remains in the state in which it was
delivered.
The data plates are located at the back
of the dishwasher and along the right
edge of the open door.
The wiring diagram is supplied with
the machine.
The conversion diagram is attached to
the electrical connection plinth panel
behind the plinth cover.

The Miele Waterproof system
As long as your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele Waterproof
anti-leak system will protect you from
water damage throughout its lifetime.
Water intake
Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
- The machine must be connected to
the water supply in strict accordance
with current local and national
requirements ( e.g. Plumbing Code of
Australia (PCA)).
- The water used must at least comply
with national regulations for drinking
water quality.
If the water supply has a high iron
content, there is a danger of
corrosion occurring on items being
cleaned in the dishwasher, as well as
the machine itself.
If the chloride content of the water
exceeds 100mg/l, the risk of
corrosion to items being cleaned in
the dishwasher will be further
increased.
- In certain regions (e.g. mountainous
regions), the water composition may
cause precipitates to form, requiring
the use of softened water for the
dishwasher.
- The water pressure (flow pressure at
the connection point) must be
between 50 and 1000kPa (0.5 and
10bar).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message Water intake
will appear in the display (see
"Problem solving guide").
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducing valve must be
fitted.
- A tap with a
3
/
4
inch male thread must
be provided on site. It should be
easily accessible so that the water
supply can be turned off when the
dishwasher is not in use.
- The DN 10 inlet hose is approx. 1.5m
long terminating in a
3
/
4
inch female
thread. Under no circumstances must
the inlet filter or the flow regulator in
the connection be removed.
This appliance must be installed
according to AS/NZS 3500.1 and AS/
NZS 3500.2. This dishwasher has been
supplied separately with a separate
backflow prevention device (dual check
valve).
The dual check valve supplied
separately with this product must be
installed between the tap and the water
inlet hose. Screw the dual check valve
onto the tap. Then screw the water inlet
hose with the water protection system
onto the thread of the dual check valve.
Turn on the the tap gradually to test for
leaks. If there is a leak, the connection
might not be on securely, or it may have
been screwed on at an angle. Unscrew
and reconnect the water correctly
before tightening it.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
93
To avoid any damage to the
machine, the dishwasher must only
be connected to a fully vented
plumbing system.
The inlet hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way as
it contains electrical components
(see illustration).
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
94
Connecting the drain hose
- The machine drainage system is
fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.
- The dishwasher drainage hose
should preferably be connected to a
separate on-site drain for the
dishwasher only. If no separate
connection is available, we
recommend connecting it to a dual-
chamber siphon.
- The dishwasher is supplied with
approx. 1.5m of flexible drain hose
with an internal diameter of 22mm.
Hose clips are supplied with the
dishwasher.
- The drain hose must not be
shortened. The hose can be
extended using a connection piece to
attach a further length of hose. The
drainage length must not be longer
than 4m and the delivery head no
higher than 1m.
- The drainage system must be able to
accommodate a minimum drainage
flow of 16l/min.
Make sure that there are no kinks
in the hose, and that it is not
squashed or stretched.
Hose positioning with a low water
drainage height
If the on-site drainage connection is
situated lower than the guide path for
the lower basket rollers in the open
door, the water drain hose must be
raised to the height of the guide path
for the lower basket rollers with a bend
in it. Otherwise, a siphoning effect
during a programme can cause the
appliance to empty itself of water.
Tall unit installation (only available in
selected countries)
The accessories APFD101 and
APFD102 are optional for installing the
dishwasher in a tall unit.

SmartStart
This menu option will only be
displayed if you have connected your
dishwasher to your Wi-Fi network (see
“Settings - Miele@home”).
The SmartStart function (only functional
in selected countries) is used for
starting your dishwasher automatically
at a time when energy costs are most
economical.
To use this function you may need
further technical accessories.
If you have activated SmartStart
Permitted, the Timer menu of the
selected programme will no longer
show EcoStart but will instead show
SmartStart. The dishwasher will then
start within the timeframe specified
when it receives a signal from the
energy supplier.
If it has not received a signal from the
energy supplier by the latest possible
start time, the dishwasher will start
automatically.

EcoStart
In order to run your dishwasher in the
most economical way, you can use the
EcoStart option to take advantage of
your electricity supplier’s cheaper
energy tariffs (see “Options - Timer”).
With this option selected, your
dishwasher will start automatically at
your electricity supplier’s cheapest rate
times.
To use this option, you must first set up
to three electricity rate tariff times in
which the dishwasher can start. You
can allocate different priorities to these
tariff times. The time with the cheapest
electricity rate will be given Priority 1.
Contact your energy supplier to find out
the times of the cheapest electricity
rates.
Once the electricity rate times have
been set, you can use the EcoStart
option to set the latest finish time
required for each programme.
The dishwasher will then start
automatically during the cheapest
energy rate time period. The
programme will end at the set finish
time at the latest.

you must set at least one electricity
tariff time.

selected will appear in the display and
