IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

APPROPRIATE USE

This Commercial Dishwasher complies with all current local and

national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead

to personal injury and material damage.

WARNING:

When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including

the following:

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the Com-

mercial Dishwasher for the first time. They contain important infor-

mation on the safety, use, and maintenance of the machine. Keep

these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to

any future user.

 This dishwasher with its short program cycle times and powerful

cleaning performance is intended for commercial use in offices,

lunch rooms, clubhouses, workshops, large kitchens, and similar

professional environments.

It is also suitable for use in domestic households and in similar resi-

dential environments; for example, by customers in hotels, motels,

bed and breakfasts, and other related establishments.

 The commercial dishwasher is subsequently referred to as a dish-

washer in these operating instructions.

Glasses, cutlery and dishes are referred to generally as cookware

when not more specifically defined.

 This dishwasher is not intended for continuous use.

 This dishwasher is not intended to be used to clean medical de-

vices or products.

 This machine is designed exclusively for use as a “dishwasher” for

cleaning wash items as described in these instructions. Conversions,

modifications, and any other use are not permitted.

 This dishwasher is intended for stationary, indoor use only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 13,000ft

(4,000m) above sea level.

 The special inserts in the baskets should only be used for their

specific application.

 This dishwasher can only be used by people with reduced physi-

cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowl-

edge, if they are supervised while using it or have been shown how

to use it in a safe way and understand and recognize the conse-

quences of incorrect operation.

 The dishwasher is equipped with interior lighting. It is not suitable

for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be installed by a

Miele-authorized specialist or by Miele Service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper installation

 Do not install the machine in an area where a danger of explosion

or of freezing temperatures may be present.

 Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protective

gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.

 To ensure the stability of undercounter dishwashers, these units

may only be installed beneath a continuous countertop that is bolted

to adjacent cabinetry.

 In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the cab-

inetry in the area around the dishwasher should be designed for

commercial use.

Delicate cabinetry can be protected using the damp protection set,

which is available as an optional accessory.

The vapor barrier film needs to be adhered to the underside of the

countertop 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). It is also important that the door

cannot fall open.

The machine must only be operated with properly adjusted door

springs.

If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact the Miele Customer

Service.

The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the

factory-installed door springs is 22-26.5 lb (10–12kg) (depending on

model).

Technical safety

 This dishwasher should be installed, commissioned, repaired, and

maintained by Miele Service, a dealer, or a suitably qualified special-

ist. Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause

considerable danger for the user.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 This dishwasher should only be operated by appropriately trained

personnel. They should be instructed and trained regularly.

 Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are

properly in place. Before using the dishwasher, check it for any ex-

ternally visible damage. Do not use a damaged dishwasher. This

could be dangerous.

 In the event of a damaged or leaking dishwasher, switch off at the

power supply immediately and call Miele Technical Service, a Miele

dealer, or a suitably qualified service technician.

 Faulty components should only be replaced by genuine Miele

original parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee

the safety standards of the appliance.

 WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a quali-

fied electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether

the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-

stalled by a qualified electrician.

 Be sure to follow the installation instructions in this manual and in

the installation diagram.

 Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage, fre-

quency, and fuse rating) match those of your electrical supply.

 The dishwasher may only be operated if the door-opening mecha-

nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger

while the automatic door-opening mechanism (depending on the

model) is active.

The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the

factory-installed door springs is 22-26.5 lb (10–12 kg) (depending on

model).

To check that the door-opening mechanism is working correctly:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

- 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.

 The control elements of the dishwasher must not be tampered

with.

 WARNING - Fire hazard! Do not cover or crush the plug of the ap-

pliance. Ensure that the cabinet opening for the dishwasher provides

ample space for the plug and cord. Installing the dishwasher in a

tight space may crimp the power cord or put pressure on it. See

“Electrical connection”.

 Do not use an extension cord to connect this machine to electric-

ity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the ma-

chine (e.g., danger of overheating).

 Do not open the casing of the dishwasher. Any contact with live

connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical compo-

nents of the dishwasher will endanger your safety and may lead to

machine malfunctions.

 The dishwasher must not be used if the wire is damaged. A dam-

aged wire may only be replaced by a suitable wire of the same type.

For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by

Miele Technical Service or a qualified service technician.

 Before servicing the appliance, disconnect it from the power sup-

ply.

 The plastic housing of the water connection contains electrical

components. It must not be dipped in water.

 There are live wires in the water intake hose. Do not shorten the

water intake hose, even if it is too long.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 The built-in Waterproof system offers reliable protection against

water damage if the following conditions are met:

- Installation has been carried out correctly.

- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced in

case of noticeable damage.

- The shut-off valves have been turned off during longer absences

(for example, vacation).

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 machine is

not repaired by a Miele-authorized service technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

 This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and cleaning

agents suitable for use in dishwashers only. Organic solvents and

flammable liquid agents must not be used.

This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic compo-

nents in the dishwasher, and cause liquids to leak out of it.

 You could injure yourself on the open dishwasher door or trip over

it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

 Do not sit, stand, or lean on the opened door or dish rack. This

could tip or damage the dishwasher.

 After any plumbing work, the water pipework to the dishwasher

will need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be dam-

aged.

 Please be aware that the dishwasher may be operating at high

temperatures. When the door is opened there is a risk of burning or

scalding. Wash 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 tak-

ing them out.

 The water in the wash cabinet is NOT safe to drink!

 The pretreatment of items (for example with dishwashing liquid

and other detergents), but also some types of soiling and some de-

tergents, 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 chamber can cause damage to the

dishwasher. If foam escapes, the program must be canceled imme-

diately and the dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains

electrical supply.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Depending on the properties of the flooring and footwear worn on

it, liquids can cause a slipping hazard. Keep the floor dry where pos-

sible and take care to clean up any liquid spills straight away. Take

the necessary precautions when cleaning up hazardous substances

and hot liquids.

 When using detergents and specialized products, it is essential

that the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Detergents must

only be used for the purpose they are designed for by the manufac-

turer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong

chemical reactions (e.g., oxyhydrogen explosion).

 Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas might be produced in a

hot-water system that has not been used for two weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not

been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all

hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several min-

utes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is

flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

 Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical detergents may

have on the material of the items being cleaned. Observe the deter-

gent manufacturer's instructions with regard to storage conditions,

use, and dosage.

 Do not inhale or ingest powder detergent. Dishwasher detergents

contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in

the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Seek

medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or in-

haled.

 People aged 16 and above may refill the dishwasher detergent or

change the media canister provided that they know exactly what

they are doing.

 Powder and liquid detergents containing active chlorine must not

be used. You may damage plastic parts and the seals of the dish-

washer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 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 ef-

fect.

 Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease,

or paint in the dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the

dishwasher.

 Do not clean the dishwasher or its near vicinity with a hose or a

pressure washer.

 Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and posi-

tioning them in the dishwasher so that you do not hurt yourself or

create a danger for others. Cutlery should be placed in baskets in

such a way that no injuries can occur.

 Arrange sharp and pointy utensils so that they cannot damage the

door seal.

 Remove any coarse food deposits from the items being cleaned

before loading them in the dishwasher.

Children in the vicinity

 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.

 Children must be kept away from the dishwasher unless they are

constantly supervised.

 Children aged eight and older may only use the dishwasher with-

out supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe man-

ner. Children must be able to recognize and understand the potential

risks of improper use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 If the automatic door opening mechanism is active, keep young

children away from the area in which the door opens. There is a dan-

ger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the opening mecha-

nism.

 Keep children away from process chemicals. These contain ingre-

dients which can cause burning in the mouth or throat, or inhibit

breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is

open. There could still be residual process chemicals in the dish-

washer. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or

inhaled any process chemicals.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Accessories

 Only use original Miele accessories. Using parts or accessories

from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele can-

not accept liability.

 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a mini-

mum of 10years and up to 15years 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 fas-

ten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses, and cords.

After use

 Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an

old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by failure to com-

ply with these IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

cluding microwave ovens and remote

control toys). This can cause sporadic

or even complete connection failures.

Therefore, the availability of featured

functions cannot be guaranteed.

Miele@home availability

The ability to use the Miele@mobile

app, or other network solutions, de-

pends on the availability of the

Miele@home service in your country.

The Miele@home service is not avail-

able in every country.

For information about availability,

please visit www.miele.com.

Miele app

You can connect the dishwasher to the

Miele@mobile app.

The app is available to download free of

charge from the Apple App Store

from the Google Play Store™.

Miele@mobile app

Initial commissioning

Every dishwasher is tested at the fac-

tory. There will be residual water in the

machine from this test. It is not an in-

dication that the dishwasher has been

used previously.

Opening the door

In some programs, the door automati-

cally opens slightly to assist the drying

process.

This function can be deactivated, if pre-

ferred (see “AutoOpen” under “Set-

tings”).

This dishwasher has a motorized door

opener which is activated by knocking

hold the door locking pins firmly

when they are retracting.

If the door is opened during operation,

all functions are automatically inter-

rupted.

You can change the number of knocks

required or deactivate the function (see

“Knock2open” under “Settings”).

 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 program.

Keep the area around the door free

of obstructions.

Initial commissioning

Door-opening aid

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 aid supplied with the dish-

washer.

 Push the door-opening aid into the

gap between the dishwasher front

and the neighboring unit door 

about 57/8” (15cm) below the coun-

tertop.

 Turn the door-opening aid clockwise

 until it engages behind the dish-

washer front.

 Then use it to pull the door open.

Closing the door

 Push the baskets in.

 Push the door until it clicks shut.

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.

Initial commissioning

Reactivation salt

In order to achieve good cleaning re-

sults, 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

machine.

Tap water with a water hardness level

higher than 5.2gr/gal (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 38°F

(36°dH).

In order to maintain the functions of the

water softener, it must be reactivated

regularly. Reactivation occurs automati-

cally every ninth program sequence. At

the start of the next program, an addi-

tional 4.4l of water is required for this

process. Energy consumption increases

by 0.015kWh and the program is ex-

tended by 3minutes.

The above only applies to the Economy

program at a water hardness of 14°dH.

For other programs and water hardness

levels, the frequency of reactivation will

differ.

In order to be reactivated, the water

softener requires reactivation salt.

Depending on the water hardness level

(<22gr/gal, or <21°dH – German

scale), reactivation salt is not required if

combination detergents are being used

(see “Active ingredients” under “Deter-

gents”).

 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.

Use only special, coarse-grained re-

activation salt.

 Damage to the water softener

from detergent.

Dishwasher detergent will damage

the water softener.

Do not fill the salt reservoir with pow-

der or liquid detergent.

If the water in your area is very soft

and constantly lower than 5gr/gal

(5°dH – German scale), you do not

need to add reactivation salt. The salt

refill indicator will automatically turn

off after the water hardness has been

set accordingly (see “Water hardness”

under “Settings”).

If you only ever use combination de-

tergent products in your dishwasher,

you can turn off both refill reminders if

you wish (see “Refill reminders” under

“Settings”).

Please make sure that if you stop us-

ing combination detergents, you refill

the reactivation salt and rinse aid. Turn

the refill reminders back on if required.

Initial commissioning

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the

first time, you must fill it with approx.

2l 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.

 Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2l

of water (first use only).

 Place the funnel provided over the

salt reservoir and carefully fill with re-

activation salt until the reservoir is

full. The salt reservoir holds up to

2kg 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.

Refilling the salt

 When the refill reminder Refill salt

appears in the display, wait until the

end of the program 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 wash items.

Each time you remove the salt reser-

voir cap, you must run the Cold

pre-rinse program without any wash

items in the dishwasher. This will dis-

solve and remove any traces of salt

from the wash cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,

the refill indicator may still appear in the

display if the salt concentration has not

yet reached the correct level. In this

case, still confirm the message with OK.

Initial commissioning

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that

water does not cling and leave marks

on dishes during the drying phase, and

helps dishware dry faster after it has

been washed.

Rinse aid is poured into the container

and the amount set is dispensed auto-

matically.

 Liquid dish soap or detergent

can cause damage.

Liquid dish soap and detergent can

damage the rinse-aid reservoir.

Commercial rinse aids are recom-

mended.

Alternatively, you could use liquid citric

acid at a concentration of up to 10%.

The resulting rinsing and drying quality

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 detergent products in your dish-

washer, you do not need to add rinse

aid.

However, for optimum rinsing and

drying results, use dishwasher deter-

gent and add reactivation salt and

rinse aid separately.

If you only ever use combination de-

tergent products containing salt and

rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can

turn off both refill reminders if you

wish (see “Refill reminders” under

“Settings”).

Please make sure that if you stop us-

ing combination detergents, you refill

the reactivation salt and rinse aid. Turn

the refill reminders back on if required.

Initial commissioning

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

color while the door is horizontally

open.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approxi-

mately 110ml.

 Close the lid firmly until you hear it

click into place. Otherwise, water can

enter the rinse aid reservoir during a

program.

 Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This

prevents excess foam developing

during the next program.

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage

for best wash results (see “Rinse aid”

under “Settings”).

Filling the rinse-aid reservoir

When Add rinse aid appears in the

display, the reservoir contains sufficient

rinse aid for 2–3 programs only.

 Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

 Confirm with OK.

The rinse-aid refill reminder will go out.

Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally eco-

nomical in its use of water and electric-

ity.

You can make the most of your ma-

chine 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 unnec-

essarily 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 a program that best suits the

degree of soiling and the type of

dishes being washed (see “Program

overview”).

- Select the Economy program for

energy-saving dishwashing. This pro-

gram is the most efficient in terms of

its combined energy and water con-

sumption for cleaning dishware with a

normal level of soiling.

- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s

recommendations on detergent

dosage.

- If you are manually dosing the deter-

gent, reduce the amount by

when

using powder detergent if the baskets

are only half full.

Caring for the environment

EcoFeedback consumption

display

The “Consumption” function is used for

calling up information about the water

consumption of your dishwasher (see

“Consumption” under “Settings”).

The following information can be shown

on the display:

- an estimate of the consumption be-

fore the program sequence

- the actual consumption at the end of

the program

- the total consumption of the dish-

washer

1. Estimated consumption

After a program has been selected, first

the name of the program and then the

estimated water consumption will ap-

pear in the display for a few seconds.

The estimated consumption will be

shown as a bar chart. The more bars

that are visible (), the higher the wa-

ter consumption.

The values are influenced by the pro-

gram, any program options selected,

the ambient conditions, and the size of

the load.

The display will change automatically

from showing the estimated consump-

tion to showing the time remaining.

The estimated consumption function is

activated as standard. This function can

be deactivated, however, if preferred

(see “Consumption” under “Settings”).

2. Displaying consumption

At the end of the program, you can call

up the actual water consumption for the

program that has just been run.

 Confirm the message Consumption

(OK) with OK.

Turning the dishwasher off at the end

of the program will delete the actual

consumption values for the program

that has just been run.

3. Total consumption

You can view the total consumption of

water for all previously used programs

of your dishwasher (see “Consumption”

under “Settings”).

Loading the dishwasher

General information

Remove coarse food residues from

dishes.

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.

Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the

baskets, but the following notes should

be observed:

- Do not place dishes and utensils in-

side other items where they will cover

one another.

- Load the dishes so that water can

access all surfaces. This ensures that

they get properly cleaned.

- Make sure that all items are securely

positioned.

- Hollow items such as cups, glasses,

pans, etc., must be inverted in the

baskets.

- Tall, narrow, hollow items such as

champagne glasses should be

placed in the center of the basket

rather than in the corners. This en-

sures the hollow items are more eas-

ily accessed by the water jets.

- Concave items such as mugs or

bowls should be placed at an angle

so that the water can run off.

- The spray arms must not be blocked

by items which 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 Multi

Flex Tray.

Some foods such as carrots, toma-

toes, or ketchup may contain natural

dyes. These dyes can discolor plastic

items in the dishwasher if large quanti-

ties of these foods are in contact with

the dishes inside the machine. The

stability of plastic items is not affected

by this discoloration.

Washing silverware can also cause

plastic items to discolor.

Loading the dishwasher

Wash items not suitable for dish-

washers:

- Wooden cutlery and dishes or items

with wooden parts. These may dis-

color and fade. The glue used in

these items is not dishwasher-safe

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 dishwasher-safe.

- Plastic items that are not heat resis-

tant. The high temperatures in the

dishwasher may cause them to melt

or lose shape. Use only dishwasher-

safe plastic containers.

- Copper, brass, tin, and aluminum

items. These may discolor or become

dull.

- Colors 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

Silverware that has been in contact with

foods containing sulfur can discolor.

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 program, where wa-

ter has not run off smoothly.

Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.

 Damage due to caustic alkaline

detergents.

Aluminum parts (e.g., the grease fil-

ters of ventilation hoods) can be

damaged by caustic alkaline deter-

gents. In extreme cases, there is a

risk of an explosive chemical reac-

tion (such as an explosive oxyhydro-

gen gas reaction).

Aluminum components must not be

cleaned in the dishwasher with caus-

tic alkaline commercial or industrial

detergents.

Tip: When purchasing new dishware

and cutlery, make sure they are dish-

washer-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 program with very

low temperatures is selected (see

“Program 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.

Detergents

 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 or ingest powder de-

tergents. Do not swallow dishwasher

detergents. Seek medical attention

immediately if detergent has been

swallowed or inhaled.

Keep children away from detergents.

Detergent residues could still be

present in the machine. Keep chil-

dren away from the dishwasher when

the door is open. Do not fill the de-

tergent dispenser until just before

starting the program and activate the

door safety lock (depending on

model).

 Risk of damage due to deter-

gents containing active chlorine.

Detergents containing active chlorine

must not be used. You may damage

plastic parts and the seals of the

dishwasher.

Do not use detergents containing ac-

tive chlorine.

You can easily order powder detergents

and other consumables for your dish-

washer for domestic use via the

Miele@mobile app or the Miele website:

https://www.mieleusa.com/.

Detergents

Powder detergents and deter-

gent tabs

Use powder detergent or detergent

tabs only in the door dispenser com-

partment.

Only use detergent tabs that are

quick-dissolving.

Suitable detergent tabs are available

from the Miele range. When using

combination detergents (tabs that of-

fer rinse aid and water softening ef-

fects as well as cleaning), it is rec-

ommended that you also add rinse

aid and reactivation salt (at a lower

concentration) owing to the short

program cycle times and potentially

the water quality.

 Add powder detergent or detergent

tabs to the detergent compartment.

Dispensing detergent

The detergent compartment holds a

maximum of 50ml.

There are marks in the detergent com-

partment to aid with dispensing: 20, 30,

max. When the door is opened to a hor-

izontal position, they show the approxi-

mate fill level in ml and the maximum fill

height.

They also indicate the approximate fill

level in grams for powder detergents,

depending on the manufacturer and the

coarseness.

 Follow the detergent dosage recom-

mended by the manufacturer on the

packaging.

 Unless directed otherwise, use one

detergent tab or add 20 to 30ml of

detergent to the detergent compart-

ment, depending on the level of soil-

ing of the dishware.

If you use less than the recommended

amount of detergent, the dishware may

not get properly clean.

Detergents

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

program.

 Add the detergent to the detergent

compartment.

 Push the lid shut until you hear it click

into place.

The detergent must not cause the

detergent-compartment lid to get

stuck. This can prevent the lid from

opening during the program.

Do not overfill the detergent com-

partment.

 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 programs that have a pre-

rinse stage (see “Program overview”).

Operation

Turning on the dishwasher

 Turn on the water supply if it is turned

off.

 Open the door.

 Make sure the spray arms can rotate

freely.

 Touch the sensor button.

If the dishwasher has been turned off

for longer than 1minute, you will

need to hold the sensor button for

a bit longer (wipe protection).

The program selected will appear briefly

in the display and the appropriate sen-

sor button will be illuminated.

Next, the estimated water consumption

may be shown for the chosen program

for several seconds.

Then the display will show the esti-

mated duration for the selected pro-

gram.

Selecting a program

Choose your program according to the

type of load and the degree of soiling.

The different programs and their uses

are described in the Program overview

later on in this booklet.

 Touch the sensor button for the re-

quired program.

The sensor button for the selected pro-

gram will light up.

Additional programs can be selected via

the option.

 To do so, touch the sensor button.

The first of the additional programs will

appear in the display.

 Use the sensor buttons in the

display to select the program you

want.

You can now select program options

(see “Program options”).

If any program options are selected, the

appropriate sensor buttons will also

light up.

Operation

Display of program cycle time

The estimated duration of the selected

program appears on the display before

the program begins. If the door is

opened during the program, the time

left until the end of the program is dis-

played.

Each program phase is indicated by a

symbol:

 Pre-rinse/Soak

 Main wash

 Interim rinse

 Final rinse

 Drying

 Finish

The displayed duration may vary for the

same program. It is influenced by, for

example, the temperature of the incom-

ing water, the reactivation cycle of the

water softener, and the amount of dish-

ware and how soiled it is.

When a program is selected for the first

time, the display will show the average

cycle time for a hot water connection.

The program durations shown under

“Program overview” refer to standard

test loads and temperatures.

Each time a program is run, the control

module calculates the program duration

required depending on the temperature

of the water taken into the dishwasher

and the amount of dishware.

Starting a program

 Start the program by closing the

door.

Confirm the previously displayed

messages with OK.

The in-operation indicator light comes

on to show that a program has been

started.

During a program sequence, you can

use OK to display the name of the

program that is currently running while

the door is open.

 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

Program end

At the end of a program, the in-opera-

tion indicator light will be flashing slowly

with the door shut. The audible signal

may also be sounding.

The in-operation indicator light will go

out 10minutes after the end of the pro-

gram if the door is closed.

The program has ended when the dis-

play shows the message Ready.

In some programs, if the AutoOpen

function is activated, the door will auto-

matically open slightly (see “AutoOpen”

under “Settings”). This improves the

drying process.

If the Consumptionprogrammable func-

tion is turned on, you can now call up

the actual water consumption of the

program that has just finished (see

“EcoFeedback consumption display”

under “Caring for the environment”).

The drying fan may continue to run for

a few minutes at the end of the pro-

gram.

 Risk of damage due to steam.

Steam from the dishwasher could

damage the edges of delicate coun-

tertops when you open the door at

the end of the program if the fan is

no longer running.

If you have deactivated the auto-

matic door-opening function (see

“AutoOpen” under “Settings”), but

would still like to open the door at

the end of the program, then make

sure that you open the door fully.

Energy management

To save energy, the dishwasher will turn

off automatically 10minutes after the

last time a sensor button is pressed or

after the end of a program.

You can turn the dishwasher back on

again with the sensor button.

If the dishwasher has been turned off

for longer than 1minute, you will need

to hold the sensor button for a bit

longer (wipe protection).

The dishwasher will not turn itself off

while a program is running or if there is

a fault.

Operation

Turning off the dishwasher

 Open the door.

 The dishwasher can be turned off at

any time using the sensor button.

 Confirm the query Turn appliance off

with OK.

Turning the dishwasher off during a pro-

gram stops the program.

You can also do this to stop an ongoing

timer.

 If you have pressed the sensor

button, but in fact do not wish to can-

cel the program, use the button to

select the Do not turn off option on the

display and confirm with OK.

 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.,

during vacations, the water supply

valve should be turned off.

Unloading the dishwasher

Dishes tend to break and chip more

easily when they are hot. Allow the

dishes to cool until they are comfortable

enough to handle before unloading

them.

The dishes will cool much faster if you

open the door when the program has

ended.

 First unload the lower basket, then

the upper basket, and finally the 3D

MultiFlex Tray.

This will prevent water drops from the

upper basket and 3D MultiFlex Tray

from falling onto the dishes in the

lower basket.

Cleaning and care

USER MAINTENANCE IN-

STRUCTIONS

To prolong the service life of the dish-

washer, maintenance should be carried

out at least once a year by Miele Cus-

tomer Service.

Maintenance covers the following:

- Electrical safety according to national

regulations

- Door mechanism and door seal

- Any screw connections and connec-

tors in the wash cabinet

- Water inlet and drainage

- Internal and external dispensing sys-

tems

- 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 program will be run as a test run

- Seals will be tested for water tight-

ness

- All relevant measuring systems will

be safety tested, including fault dis-

plays

- Safety features

Check the condition of your dish-

washer regularly (approx. every 4–6

months). 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 discolor

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.

If, despite this, limescale or grease de-

posits build up in the chamber, these

can be removed with a proprietary dish-

washer cleaner (available from Miele).

Follow the dosage recommended by

the manufacturer on the packaging.

 Clean the filters in the wash cabinet

regularly.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door and the door

seal

The door seal and the sides of the dish-

washer 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 mold.

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 countertop.

 The reflector panel should only be

cleaned with a damp cloth if neces-

sary.

Cleaning the front of the ma-

chine

 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 discolor.

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 microfiber cloth with-

out detergent can also be used.

Cleaning and care

To avoid damaging the external sur-

faces, do not use the following:

- cleaning agents containing soda, am-

monia, acids, or chloride

- cleaning agents containing lime scale

remover

- abrasive cleaning agents, such as

scouring powder, scouring liquid, or

pumice stones

- cleaning agents containing solvents

- stainless-steel cleaning agents

- dishwasher cleaner

- oven cleaner

- glass cleaner

- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,

e.g., pot scourers, brushes, or

sponges which have been previously

used with abrasive cleaning agents

- eraser sponges

- sharp metal scrapers

- steel wool

- steam cleaners

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the

spray arm jets and bearings. The spray

arms should therefore be inspected reg-

ularly (approx. every 2–4months).

 Damage due to soiling entering

the circulation system.

Without filters, soiling can enter the

circulation system and cause a

blockage.

Do not run a wash program without

the lower spray arm or without the fil-

ters.

When cleaning the filters and spray

arms, make sure that coarse soiling

cannot get into the circulation sys-

tem.

 Turn off the dishwasher.

Removing the upper and middle

spray arms

 Take out the 3D MultiFlex Tray (if your

dishwasher is fitted with one).

 Push the upper spray arm upwards to

engage the inner ratchet. Then un-

screw the spray arm by rotating the

screw thread counterclockwise.

 Rotate the screw thread of the middle

spray arm clockwise (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 counterclockwise and

pull the spray arm upwards to re-

move.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

 Use a pointed object to push food

particles that are stuck in the spray

arm 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 se-

cure the filter combination. Without

filters, coarse soiling can enter the

circulation system and cause a

blockage.

Do not run a wash program without

the lower spray arm or without the fil-

ters.

Cleaning and care

Checking the filters in the

wash cabinet

The filter combination in the base of the

wash cabinet retains coarse soil from

the suds solution. This prevents soiling

getting into the circulation system and

re-entering the wash cabinet through

the spray arms.

 Damage due to soiling entering

the circulation system.

Without filters, soiling can enter the

circulation system and cause a

blockage.

Do not run a wash program without

the lower spray arm or without the fil-

ters.

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 time it takes before the fil-

ters need cleaning will vary depending

on use.

The message Check filters will appear in

the display after every 50program se-

quences.

 Check the filter combination.

 Clean, if necessary.

 Then confirm the message with OK.

Cleaning the filters

 Turn off the dishwasher.

 Remove the lower spray arm (see

“Cleaning the spray arms” under

“Cleaning and care”).

 Before removing the filter combina-

tion, remove any coarse soiling to

prevent it from entering the circulation

system.

 Remove the filter combination.

Cleaning and care

 In order to clean the inside of the fil-

ter, pull the microfilter on the plastic

ring downwards and away from the

filter combination.

 Rinse all of the filters under running

water.

If necessary, use a soft cleaning

brush to remove soiling.

 Insert the microfilter back into the fil-

ter combination.

 Reinstall the filter combination so that

it lies flat in the base of the wash cab-

inet.

 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 se-

cure the filter combination. Without

filters, coarse soiling can enter the

circulation system and cause a

blockage.

Do not run a wash program without

the lower spray arm or without the fil-

ters.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the water-inlet filter

A filter is incorporated in the screw con-

nection to protect the water-intake

valve. If the filter is soiled, insufficient

water flows into the wash cabinet.

 Risk of electric shock from volt-

age.

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

power supply.

To do this, turn off at the socket and

unplug the machine.

 Close the faucet.

 Unscrew the water-intake valve.

 Take the seal ring out of the screw

connection.

 Using pointed pliers, take hold of the

plastic filter bar and pull it through the

filter.

 Rinse the filter under running water.

 Reassemble in reverse order.

Screw the screw connection securely

back onto the faucet. Slowly open

the faucet. If water drips out, tighten

the connection.

Never forget to put the filter back in

place after cleaning.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drain pump

If water remains in the wash cabinet af-

ter the end of a program, the water has

not been pumped away. The drain

pump may be blocked by foreign ob-

jects. These foreign objects are easy to

remove.

 Disconnect the dishwasher from the

power supply.

To do this, turn off and unplug the

dishwasher.

 Take the filter combination out of the

wash cabinet (see “Cleaning the fil-

ters” under “Cleaning and care”).

 Scoop the water out of the wash cab-

inet using a suitable small container

or utensil.

 Press the catch of the drain pump

cover inwards.

 Tip the cover inwards until it is re-

leased.

 Rinse the cover thoroughly under run-

ning water and remove all foreign ob-

jects.

Cleaning and care

The drain pump (see arrow) is under-

neath the cover.

 Risk of injury from glass splin-

ters.

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. Check the drain

pump impeller by manually turning it.

You will feel a little resistance when

you turn the impeller.

 Refit the cover by placing it down

vertically from above.

Ensure that the catch engages cor-

rectly.

 Damage due to incorrect clean-

ing.

The components are delicate and

can be damaged during cleaning.

Electrical connection

*INSTALLATION*

Electrical connection

 All work on the electrical con-

nection must be carried out by Miele

Customer Service, an authorized

Miele dealer, or a qualified electri-

cian.

- The electrical installation must be in

compliance with current local and na-

tional safety regulations!

- The connection to the power supply

must comply with national regula-

tions (plug and outlet must be acces-

sible after the machine has been in-

stalled). This therefore facilitates an

electrical safety test performed dur-

ing maintenance or service work, for

example.

- If the dishwasher is hard-wired to the

power supply, a circuit breaker capa-

ble of disconnecting the dishwasher

at all poles must be installed. This

power switch must have a contact

gap of at least 1/8" (3mm) and also

be lockable in the off-position.

- If necessary, equipotential bonding

must be carried out.

- If replacing the power cord, use only

original Miele replacement parts.

- For technical data, see the data plate

or the attached wiring diagram.

The dishwasher must only be operated

with the voltage, frequency, and fuse

rating shown on the data plate.

The data plates (with test certificate,

etc.) are located at the back of the dish-

washer 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 toe-kick panel.

Grounding connection

The ground lead must be connected to

the screw connection point (marked

with the ground symbol ) at the back

of the machine.

In the event of a malfunction or break-

down, grounding will reduce the risk of

electric shock by providing a path of

least resistance for electric current. This

appliance is equipped with a cord hav-

ing an equipment-grounding conductor

and a grounding plug. The plug must be

plugged into an appropriate outlet that

is installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

GROUNDED

Plumbing

*INSTALLATION*

The Miele Waterproof system

Provided your dishwasher has been in-

stalled correctly, the Miele Waterproof

system will provide extensive protection

against water damage throughout its

lifetime.

Water inlet

 Water in the dishwasher must

not be used as drinking water.

- The dishwasher must be connected

to the water supply in strict accor-

dance with current local and national

water authority regulations.

- The water used must at least comply

with national regulations for drinking

water quality.

If the water supply has a high iron

content, there is a danger of corro-

sion occurring on wash items in the

dishwasher, as well as the machine

itself.

If the chloride content of the water

exceeds 100mg/l, the risk of corro-

sion 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 be-

tween 7.3 and 145psi (50 and

1000kPa).

If the water pressure is lower than

this, the fault message Intake will ap-

pear in the display (see “Frequently

asked questions”).

If the water pressure is too high, a

pressure-reducing valve must be fit-

ted.

- The dishwasher is supplied as stan-

dard for connection to cold water and

hot water up to max. 140°F (60°C).

Connect the inlet hoses to the

faucets for cold and hot water.

- A faucet with a 3/4" male thread

must be provided on site. This should

be easily accessible, since the water

supply should be shut off whenever

the machine is not in use.

- The DN10 inlet hose is approx. 4'

11" (1.5m) long terminating in a 3/4"

female thread. A 1.5m long flexible

metal extension hose tested to

2,030psi (14,000kPa) is available as

an optional accessory if required. Do

not remove the dirt filter and the flow

regulator in the screw connection.

Plumbing

*INSTALLATION*

 To avoid any damage to the ma-

chine, the dishwasher must only be

connected to fully vented pipework.

 The intake hose must not be

shortened or damaged in any way as

it contains electrical components

(see illustration).

Plumbing

*INSTALLATION*

Connecting the water drainage

system

- The machine drainage system has a

non-return valve, which prevents dirty

water from flowing back into the

dishwasher via the drain hose.

- The dishwasher drainage hose

should be connected to a separate

on-site drain for the dishwasher only.

If no separate drain is available, we

recommend connecting it to a dual-

chamber siphon.

- The dishwasher is supplied with an

approx. 4' 11" (1.5m) flexible drain

hose with an internal diameter of

7/8" (22mm).

Hose clips are supplied with the dish-

washer.

- A method of avoiding using a counter

mounted airgap is to advise the fol-

lowing: A "high loop" can be used to

provide a drainage air gap by routing

a drain line above a sink's flood level.

- The drain hose must not be short-

ened. The hose can be extended us-

ing a connection piece to attach a

further length of hose. The drainage

length must not be longer than 13'

1" (4m) and the delivery head no

higher than 3' 3" (1m).

- The drainage system must be able to

handle a discharge rate of at least

16l/min.

 Make sure that there are no kinks

in the hose, and that it is not crushed

or stretched.

Hose installation when water

drainage is low

If the on-site water drainage connection

is situated lower than the guide path for

the lower basket rollers in the door, the

water drain hose must be installed at

that level with a bend in it. Otherwise,

water may flow out of the wash cabinet

during a program.

Tall-unit installation

APFD101 and APFD102 are available

as optional accessories for use when

installing the dishwasher in a tall unit.

SmartStart

This menu option will only be dis-

played if you have connected your

dishwasher to your WiFi network (see

“Miele@home” under “Settings”).

The SmartStart function is used for start-

ing your dishwasher automatically at a

time when your energy costs are most

economical.

To use this function you may need fur-

ther technical accessories.

If you have activated SmartStart Permit-

ted, the Timer menu of the selected

program 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 provider.

If it has not received a signal from the

energy provider by the latest possible

start time, the dishwasher will start au-

tomatically.

tion to set the latest finish time required
