Warning and safety instructions
6
This dishwasher conforms to current safety requirements. Inappro-
priate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material dam-
age.
Please observe the installation sheet and read the operating in-
structions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using it
for the first time. They both contain important information on its in-
stallation, safety, use and maintenance. This is to protect yourself
from injury and prevent damage to the dishwasher.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the dishwasher as well as the safety instruc-
tions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.
Keep the installation sheet and the operating instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future owner.
Appropriate use
This dishwasher is intended for use in the home and in similar en-
vironments, for example
–in shops, offices and similar work settings
–on agricultural estates
–by the guests in hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and other typ-
ical home settings.
This dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use.
This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 4000m
above sea level.
This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic crockery
and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted.
The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use
it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the dish-
washer unless they are constantly supervised.
Warning and safety instructions
7
Children aged 8 and older may only use the dishwasher without
supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.
Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the dishwasher
unsupervised.
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.
Never allow children to play with the dishwasher. There is a danger
that children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
If the automatic door opening mechanism is active, 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 mech-
anism.
Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become en-
tangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over
their head and risk suffocation. Keep packaging material away from
children.
Keep children away from detergents. Detergents cause severe skin
burns and severe eye damage. They can cause burning in the mouth
and throat, or inhibit breathing. It is therefore important to keep chil-
dren away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Detergent
residues could still be present in the dishwasher. Seek medical ad-
vice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any detergents.
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause con-
siderable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs
must only be carried out by a qualified technician.
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it for
any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.
The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety re-
quirement is present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be
checked by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate or
lack of earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Warning and safety instructions
8
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system
complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent stand-
ard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply via
a suitable switched socket using a fused 3-pin plug (it must not be
hard-wired). The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the
dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the elec-
tricity supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher be-
cause the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheating
and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a hob. The high
temperatures radiated by hobs could damage the dishwasher below.
For the same reason, the appliance must not be installed next to
open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters etc.,
not normally found in a kitchen.
Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the mains electricity sup-
ply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to
the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the appliance to
the mains. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
Warning and safety instructions
9
The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mechan-
ism is working correctly. Otherwise, there could be a risk of danger
whilst the automatic door opening mechanism is active.
Signs that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
- The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are
correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half
open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door
cannot fall open.
- The door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens at
the end of the drying phase.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not connect the
dishwasher to the mains electricity supply using a multi-socket ad-
apter or an extension lead.
The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost occurring. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The re-
liability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperat-
ures below freezing point.
To avoid any damage to the dishwasher, it must only be operated
when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains a solenoid
valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.
There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the hose,
even if it is too long.
The integrated Miele Waterproof system offers protection from
water damage, provided that the following conditions are met:
- Installation has been carried out correctly.
- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced
where this is noticeably required.
- The stopcock is turned off during longer absences from the home
(e.g. whilst on holiday).
The waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is
switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to the
electricity supply.
Warning and safety instructions
10
The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50 and
1,000kPa.
A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and call your Miele
dealer or Miele Service.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
We recommend replacing defective components with original
spare parts. If original Miele spare parts are installed correctly, Miele
ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty
remains valid.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the dishwasher
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply (switch it off
and withdraw the plug from the socket).
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced
with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available
from the Miele Customer Service Department). For safety reasons
this must only be done by the Miele Customer Service Department
or a Miele authorised technician.
Correct installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the supplied installation sheet.
Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.
Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/being cut. Wear pro-
tective gloves.
The way in which the dishwasher is installed must not cause doors
to be blocked when the door is automatically opened (AutoOpen
function).
If the dishwasher is being used behind closed furniture fronts (e.g.
doors), ensure that the automatic door opening mechanism is not
blocked.
The housing units used must be sufficiently resistant to moisture.
The installation space must be well ventilated.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure
problem-free operation.
Warning and safety instructions
11
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous worktop that is secured to
adjacent cabinetry.
A sink in the adjacent cabinet of the dishwasher must be carefully
sealed. Regularly check for leaks to avoid damage to the dishwasher.
The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additional
safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance in
a tall unit, please use the Tall unit installation set and observe the in-
stallation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit
tipping over.
The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are
correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half
open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door
cannot fall open.
The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door
springs.
If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact the Miele Customer
Service Department.
The minimum/maximum weight of the front panel is quoted in the
technical data for your dishwasher on the Miele website.
Correct use
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Risk of explosion.
Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the
eyes, nose, mouth and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not
inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents.
Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed
or inhaled.
Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could
injure yourself on the open door or trip over it.
Do not sit or lean on the open door. The dishwasher can tip over.
This can injure you or damage the dishwasher.
Crockery may be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow the
dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before un-
loading them.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-
washers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Warning and safety instructions
12
Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may
cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive
chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause damage to the reservoir.
Do not fill the AutoDos with powder or liquid detergent. Loose de-
tergent will damage the AutoDos.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Deter-
gent will damage the water softener.
Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure kit-
chen salt for reactivation. Other salts may contain insoluble additives
that can impair the functioning of the water softener.
In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on the model),
knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the
basket for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles
downwards pose a danger of injury.
Plastic items that cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher
may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the timer option, the detergent compartment must be
dry. If it is not, wipe the detergent compartment until dry. The deter-
gent will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and
this may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.
Please observe the information given in the “Technical data”
chapter regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.
Accessories and spare parts
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-
ranty, performance and, if applicable, product liability claims will be
invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your dishwasher.
Transport
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage.
Never use a damaged dishwasher.
Warning and safety instructions
13
Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no
water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.
If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely
fasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses and mains connection
cables.

Caring for the environment
20
Disposing of the packaging ma-
terial
The packaging material is used for hand-
ling and protects the appliance from
transport damage. The packaging ma-
terial used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material re-
duces the use of raw materials. Use ma-
terial-specific collection points for valu-
able materials and take advantage of re-
turn options. Your Miele dealer will take
the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances con-
tain many valuable materials. They also
contain certain materials, compounds
and components which were essential
for their correct functioning and safety.
These could be hazardous to human
health and to the environment if dis-
posed of with household waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele, free of charge. By law, you
are solely responsible for deleting any
personal data from the old appliance
prior to disposal. You are legally obliged
to remove any old batteries which are
not securely enclosed by the appliance
and to remove any lamps without des-
troying them, where this is possible.
These must be taken to a suitable col-
lection point where they can be handed
in free of charge. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.
Before using for the first time
21
Every dishwasher is tested at the fact-
ory. There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an in-
dication that the dishwasher has been
used previously.
Opening the door
In some programmes the door automat-
ically opens slightly to assist the drying
process.
This function can be deactivated, if pre-
ferred (see “Settings – AutoOpen”).
Pull the handle firmly to open the
door.
Open the door fully to disengage the
locking mechanism.
At the end of the programme, if the
AutoOpen function is on, the door lock-
ing pins automatically retract.
The door locking pin must be fully re-
tracted before you close the door again.
To prevent a technical fault, do not
hold the door locking pins firmly
when they are retracting.
If the door is opened during operation
all wash functions are automatically in-
terrupted.
Risk of scalding due to hot water.
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 opening
automatically.
The door may open automatically at
the end of the programme.
Keep the area around the door free of
obstructions.
Caution: avoid blocking doors.
The automatic door opening function
could cause doors to be blocked.
Install the dishwasher so that the
door does not block any other doors
or furniture fronts when it opens
automatically.
Before using for the first time
22
Closing the door
Push the baskets right in.
Raise the door upwards until the
catch engages.
At the end of the programme, if the
AutoOpen function switched is on,
the door locking pin must be fully re-
tracted before the door is closed.
Otherwise, the door locking pin will
hit the door.
Risk of crushing due to the door
closing.
When closing the door, you are at risk
of shutting your fingers in it.
Do not put your hand inside the door
as it is closing.
Before using for the first time
23

sequence of your dishwasher
Connecting your dishwasher to your
WiFi network will increase energy con-
sumption, even when the dishwasher is
switched off.
Make sure that your WiFi network
signal strength is strong enough at
the installation site of your dish-
washer.
Availability of the WiFi connection
The WiFi connection shares a frequency
range with other appliances (including
microwave ovens and remote control
toys). This can give rise to sporadic or
even complete connection failures.
Therefore, the availability of featured
functions cannot be guaranteed.
Miele@home availability
The ability to use the Miele app 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.

Before using for the first time
26
Dishwasher salt
In order to achieve good cleaning res-
ults, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in
the build-up of calcium deposits on
crockery and on the wash cabinet walls.
Mains water with a water hardness level
higher than 0.9mmol/l (5°dH – Ger-
man scale) must be softened. This oc-
curs automatically in the integrated wa-
ter softener. The water softener is suit-
able for a water hardness level of up to
12.6mmol/l (70°dH – German scale).
In order to maintain the functions of
the water softener, it must be reactiv-
ated regularly. Reactivation occurs
automatically every ninth programme
sequence. At the start of the next pro-
gramme, an additional 4.4l of water is
required for this process. Energy con-
sumption increases by 0.015kWh and
the programme is extended by approx.
3minutes.
The above applies to the ECO pro-
gramme at a water hardness of
2.5mmol/l (14°dH – German scale).
For other programmes and water hard-
ness levels, only the frequency of re-
activation will differ.
In order to be reactivated, the water
softener requires dishwasher salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(<3.8mmol/l, or <21°dH – German
scale), dishwasher salt is not required if
combination detergents are being used
(see “Detergent – Powder detergent
and detergent tabs”).
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 0.9mmol/l
(5°dH – German scale), you do not
need to add dishwasher salt. The salt
refill indicator will automatically switch
off after the water hardness has been
set accordingly (see “Settings – Water
hardness”).
Damage to the water softener
from detergent.
Detergent will damage the water
softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Damage caused by using unsuit-
able salts.
Some types of salt may contain insol-
uble components which can cause
the water softener to malfunction.
Only use special coarse-grained dish-
washer salt or other pure kitchen salt
for reactivation.
If you only ever use combination deter-
gent products in your dishwasher, you
can turn off both refill reminders if you
wish (see “Settings – Refill remind-
ers”).
Please make sure that if you stop us-
ing combination detergent products,
you refill the dishwasher salt and
rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders
back on if required.
Before using for the first time
27
Filling the salt reservoir
Before filling the salt reservoir for the
first time, you must fill it with ap-
prox.1.5l of water to enable the salt to
dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been com-
missioned, there is always sufficient
water in the salt reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.
Risk of corrosion due to saline
solution.
Water or saline solution will run out
of the reservoir when the cap is
opened. Saline solution that runs out
can cause corrosion in the wash cab-
inet and to the load items.
The salt reservoir should therefore
only be opened in order to replenish
the salt.
Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 1.5l
of water (first use only).
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
dishwasher salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds up to 2kg
of salt, depending on the type of salt
used.
Clean off salt residues from around
the salt reservoir opening. Next,
screw the salt reservoir cap on again
firmly.
Immediately after filling the salt reser-
voir and each time you remove the
salt reservoir cap, run the Rinse salt
programme without load items in the
dishwasher to dissolve and remove
any traces of salt from the wash cab-
inet.
Before using for the first time
28
Refilling salt
When the refill reminder 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 load items.
Immediately after filling the salt
reservoir and each time you remove
the salt reservoir cap, run the Rinse
salt programme without load items in
the dishwasher to dissolve and re-
move any traces of salt from the
wash cabinet.
After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the salt refill indicator may still appear
on the display if the salt concentration
has not yet reached the correct level. In
this case, confirm the message again
with OK.
The salt refill indicator will be switched
off if you have programmed the dish-
washer for a water hardness below
0.9mmol/l (5°dH – German scale).
Before using for the first time
29
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that
water does not cling and leave marks on
crockery during the drying phase, and
helps crockery dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the container
and the amount set is dispensed auto-
matically.
Washing-up liquid or detergent
can cause damage.
Washing-up liquid and detergent can
damage the rinse aid container.
Only fill it with rinse aid formulated
for domestic dishwashers.
Alternatively, you could use liquid citric
acid at a concentration of up to 10%.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
on the crockery will not, however, be as
good as when rinse aid is used.
Risk of acid damage.
The dishwasher can be damaged by
high concentrations of acid.
Under no circumstances should you
use citric acid with a higher acid con-
tent.
If you only ever wish to use combina-
tion products in your dishwasher, you
do not need to add rinse aid.
However, for optimum rinsing and
drying results, use dishwasher deter-
gent and add dishwasher salt and
rinse aid separately.
If you only ever use combination deter-
gent products containing salt and rinse
aid in your dishwasher, you can switch
off both refill reminders if you wish
(see “Settings – Refill reminders”).
Please make sure that if you stop us-
ing combination detergents, you refill
the dishwasher salt and rinse aid.
Switch the refill reminders back on if
required.
Before using for the first time
30
Adding rinse aid
Press the yellow button on the lid
of the rinse aid reservoir.
The lid will spring open.
Fill with rinse aid until the filling level
indicator (arrow) changes to a dark
colour while the door is horizontally
open.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approxim-
ately 110ml.
Close the lid firmly until you hear it
click into place. Otherwise, water can
enter the rinse aid reservoir during a
programme.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents excess foam developing dur-
ing the next programme.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for
the best wash result (see “Settings”
chapter, “Rinse aid” section).
Filling the rinse aid reservoir
When the refill reminder Refill rinse aid
appears in the display, the reservoir
contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3
programmes only.
Refill with rinse aid in plenty of time.
Confirm with OK.
The rinse aid refill reminder will disap-
pear.

level in your area.
- Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7mmol/l (10–
15°dH - German scale) always pro-
gramme the dishwasher to the higher
value (2.7mmol/l or 15°dH in this ex-
ample).
If the water hardness in your area is
available in a unit other than °dH, you
can convert the values as follows:
1°dH = 0.18mmol/l = 1.78°fH
Setting the water hardness level
Select the water hardness level in

AutoDos (automatic dispens-
ing)
Automatic dispensing automatically ad-
justs the amount of detergent to the se-
lected programme. In the Auto pro-
gramme, the quantity is adjusted de-
pending on the degree of soiling of the
crockery.
If you want to extend the service life of
the PowerDisk, you can reduce the dis-
pensing quantity. The programme’s
cleaning performance may decrease as
a result.
If you want to improve the cleaning per-
formance, you can increase the dispens-
ing quantity. This reduces the service life
of the PowerDisk.
Setting the Dosage amount
For best results, you can adjust the dis-
pensing quantity of the PowerDisk.
Select the Dosage amount menu op-
tion.

Economical dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco-
nomical in its use of water and electri-
city.
You can make the most of your appli-
ance by following these tips:
- Washing in a dishwasher generally
uses less water and energy than
washing by hand.
- There is no need to pre-wash items
under running water, and this unne-
cessarily increases water and energy
consumption.
- For the most economical dishwash-
ing, make full use of the basket capa-
city without overloading the dish-
washer. This results in the most eco-
nomical dishwashing in terms of en-
ergy and water consumption.
- Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling (see “Pro-
gramme overview”).
- Select the ECOprogramme for en-
ergy-saving dishwashing. This pro-
gramme is the most efficient in terms
of its combined energy and water
consumption for cleaning crockery
with a normal level of soiling.
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
- When using powder or liquid deter-
gent, you can use
1
/
3
less detergent if
the baskets are only half full.
- You can connect the dishwasher to a
hot water supply. A hot water connec-
tion is particularly suitable with en-
ergy-saving water heating sources,
such as solar energy with a circulation
system.
If the water is heated by electricity,
we would recommend connection to
cold water.
Caring for the environment
43
EcoFeedback consumption in-
dicator
The Consumption indicator function is
used for calling up information about the
energy and water consumption of your
dishwasher (see “Settings – Consump-
tion indicator”).
The following information can be shown
on the display:
- An estimate of the consumption be-
fore the programme sequence
- The actual consumption at the end of
the programme
- The total consumption of the dish-
washer
1. Estimated consumption
After a programme has been selected,
first the name of the programme and
after a few seconds the estimated en-
ergy consumption and water con-
sumption will appear in the display.
The estimated consumption will be
shown as a bar chart. The more bars
that are visible (), the higher the en-
ergy or water consumption.
The values are influenced by the pro-
gramme, the extras selected, the ambi-
ent conditions and the size of the load.
The display will change automatically
from showing the estimated consump-
tion to showing the time left display.
The estimated consumption function is
activated as standard. This function can
be deactivated, though, if preferred (see
“Settings – Consumption indicator”).
2. Display consumption
At the end of the programme you can
call up the actual amount of energy and
water used by the programme that has
just been run.
Confirm the Consumption (OK)mes-
sage with OK.
Switching the dishwasher off at the
end of the programme will delete the
actual consumption values for the pro-
gramme that has just been run.
3. Total consumption
You can display the total consumption
of energy and water for all previously
used programmes of your dishwasher

not been used for multiple weeks, it will
be automatically drained off for hygienic
reasons. This procedure takes a few
minutes and will occur even with the
dishwasher switched off or the door
open.
Please ensure that the dishwasher is
properly connected.
The display will remain dark while the

quence, water and energy consumption
will be higher.
The heat accumulator can be manually
drained for transporting the dishwasher,
e.g. when moving house (see “Settings
– Heat accumulator”).
The heat accumulator can only be
used in conjunction with a cold water
connection.
Selecting the hot water connection
(see “Settings – Water connection”)
deactivates the heat accumulator.

General information
Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.
There is no need to pre-rinse items un-
der running water.
Damage can be caused by ash,
sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint.
These substances will contaminate
the dishwasher and can then no
longer be removed.
Do not wash items soiled with these
substances in the dishwasher.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the
baskets, but the following notes should
be observed:
- Do not place crockery and cutlery in-
side other items where they will cover
one another.
- Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that
they get properly cleaned.
- Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
- Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pots etc. must be placed upside down
in the baskets.
- Tall and narrow hollow items, such as
champagne glasses, should be placed
in the middle of the basket rather than
in the corners. This 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 there-
fore be placed in the 3D MultiFlex tray
or cutlery basket (depending on
model).
Some foods may contain natural dyes,
e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup.
These dyes can discolour plastic items
in the dishwasher if large quantities of
these foods are in contact with the
crockery inside the appliance. The sta-
bility of plastic items is not affected by
this discolouration.
Washing silverware can also cause
plastic items to discolour.
Loading the dishwasher
46
Items not suitable for dishwashers:
- Wooden cutlery and crockery or items
with wooden parts: these may discol-
our and fade. The glue used in these
items is not dishwasher-proof and
wooden handles may come loose
after being washed in a dishwasher.
- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
and decorative glassware: such items
are not dishwasher-proof.
- Plastic items that are not heat resist-
ant: the high temperatures in the dish-
washer 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: this type
of decoration may fade after a number
of cycles.
- Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal: clouding may
occur over time.
Silverware
Risk of damage due to unsuitable
detergents.
If silverware is cleaned using an un-
suitable cleaning agent, it can be irre-
parably damaged.
Silverware that has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon-
naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine
and marinades.
Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or spot-
ted at the end of a programme, where
water has not run off smoothly.
Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.
Damage due to caustic alkaline
cleaning agents.
Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease fil-
ters of cooker hoods) can be dam-
aged by caustic alkaline cleaning
agents. 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 indus-
trial cleaning agents.
Tip: When purchasing new crockery and
cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-
proof if you want to wash them in the
dishwasher.
Glass care
- Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing in the dishwasher.
When washing delicate glassware in
the dishwasher, ensure that only a
special glass care programme with
very low temperatures is selected
(see “Programme overview”). This will
reduce the risk of clouding.
- Purchase glassware that is dish-
washer-safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).
- Use detergents with glass protective
additives.

Cutlery tray/cutlery basket
(depending on model)
See the “Loading the dishwasher”
chapter, “Loading examples” section
for examples of how to load crockery
and cutlery.
Load the cutlery into the 3D MultiFlex
tray or into the cutlery basket (de-
pending on the model).
Loading the 3D MultiFlex tray
To make unloading easier, cutlery should
be grouped in zones, one for knives, one
for forks, one for spoons, etc.
Spoon heads should be placed in con-
tact with at least one of the serrated re-
tainers on the base of the tray to ensure
that water runs off them freely.
If spoon handles do not fit between
the holders, then lay them the other
way round.
You can push the left insert to the
middle in order to accommodate tall
items of crockery and long stemmed
glasses in the upper basket.

Active ingredients
Risk of damage due to unsuitable
detergents.
Detergents that are not suitable for
domestic dishwashers can cause
damage to the dishwasher or to the
load items.
Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers.
Modern detergents contain various act-
ive ingredients, the most important of
which are:
- Water softening complexing agents to
prevent limescale.
- Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on soil-
ing.
- Enzymes to break down starch and
loosen protein.
- Oxygen-based bleaching agents to re-
move coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee,
tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents are mildly
alkaline and contain enzymes and oxy-
gen bleach.
There are different types of detergent:
- Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the load size and the level of soiling.
- Detergent tabs. These are suitable for
most levels of soiling.
As well as the usual detergents, com-
bination products are also available.
These contain rinse aid and water
softener (dishwasher salt).
Only use these combination detergents
for the water hardness levels recom-
mended by the manufacturer on the
packaging.
The cleaning and drying performance of
these combination detergents can vary
greatly.
Please make sure that if you stop using
combination detergent products, you re-
fill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid.
Switch the refill reminders back on if re-
quired.
For optimum cleaning and drying res-
ults, use dishwasher detergent and
dispense salt and rinse aid separately.
Detergent
62
Risk of chemical burns from de-
tergent.
Dishwasher detergents can cause
burning on the skin and in the eyes,
nose, mouth and throat.
Avoid contact with detergents.
Do not inhale powder detergents. Do
not swallow dishwasher detergents.
Seek medical attention immediately
if detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled.
Keep children away from detergents.
Detergent residues could still be
present in the dishwasher. Keep chil-
dren away from the dishwasher when
the door is open. Do not fill the de-
tergent dispenser until just before
starting the programme.
Detergent dosage
There are two ways of dispensing the
detergent.
During automatic dispensing the Auto-
Dos will automatically dispense the re-
quired amount of detergent for each
programme sequence once a PowerDisk
has been inserted (see “Detergent”
chapter, “Automatic dispensing/Auto-
Dos” section).
If you do not wish to use automatic dis-
pensing, you can manually dispense the
detergent into the detergent compart-
ment. This means you will have to fill the
required amount of detergent into the
detergent compartment before each
programme (see “Detergent” chapter,
“Manual detergent dispensing” sec-
tion).
Detergent
63
Automatic dispensing/AutoDos
Before you can use AutoDos, you must
insert a PowerDisk containing powder
detergent into the PowerDisk compart-
ment.
One PowerDisk contains enough deter-
gent for approx. 20cycles, depending
on the chosen programme.
PowerDisks are available to order dir-
ectly from the Miele online shop, the
Miele Customer Service Department
or from your Miele dealer.
Risk of chemical burns from re-
sidual detergent.
Detergents have a caustic effect. This
can cause health problems and dam-
age to surfaces. If the AutoDos is
used incorrectly, residual detergent
may drip onto the floor area in front
of the dishwasher.
Always remove residual detergent
from in front of the dishwasher im-
mediately.
Activating AutoDos
Switch the dishwasher on with the
button.
Before you first use AutoDos, remove
the tab from the AutoDos lid and dis-
pose of the tab appropriately.
Insert a PowerDisk (see “Automatic
dispensing/AutoDos – Inserting a
PowerDisk”).
The AutoDos function will be activ-
ated automatically.
The message AutoDos activated will ap-
pear on the display.
This setting applies to all programmes
and can be changed at any time using
the AutoDos button.
If no programme is started for
48hours, the PowerDisk will automat-
ically be rotated so that the detergent
does not clump together. If this hap-
pens, the message Powder refreshing
will be shown in the display when the
dishwasher is switched on. No deter-
gent will be dispensed.
Inserting a PowerDisk
Only replace the PowerDisk when the
message PowerDisk empty Deactivate
AutoDos with OK appears.
Turn the AutoDos lid to and open
it.
The message AutoDos lid open will ap-
pear on the display.
Remove the empty PowerDisk.
Detergent
64
Insert the new PowerDisk and press it
evenly downwards until it sits flush.
Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until
the lid handle is directly below the
symbol.
This activates the AutoDos function.
If the PowerDisk is not in the correct
starting position, it will be rotated auto-
matically.
Wait until this procedure ends before
you start a programme.
The AutoDos lid must be closed to
prevent damage to the AutoDos.
Always close the AutoDos lid before
you close the dishwasher door. Oth-
erwise, the AutoDos may become
damaged.
Programmes cannot start when the
AutoDos lid is open.
The detergent powder must be dry so
that it does not clump together.
Do not fill the AutoDos with any type
of fluid.
It is not permitted to refill the
PowerDisk with powder detergent.
This will invalidate the warranty.
In order to ensure that the AutoDos
function works at its best, check it
each time you replace the PowerDisk
and clean it if needed (see “Cleaning
and care – Cleaning the AutoDos”).
Detergent
65
Manual detergent dispensing
Detergent must be manually dispensed
if you have deactivated automatic dis-
pensing using the AutoDosbutton.
Dispensing detergent
The detergent compartment holds a
maximum of 50ml.
There are marks in the detergent com-
partment as a dispensing aid: 20, 30,
max. When the door is opened to a hori-
zontal position, they show the approx-
imate fill level in ml and the maximum
fill height.
Follow the detergent dosage recom-
mended by the manufacturer on the
packaging.
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 30ml of
detergent to the detergent compart-
ment, depending on the degree of
soiling of the crockery.
Failure to dispense the recommended
amount of detergent may impair clean-
ing results.
Some detergent tabs may not dissolve
completely in a short programme.
Adding detergent
Press the yellow button on the lid
of the detergent compartment.
The lid will spring open.
The lid will also open at the end of a
programme sequence.
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 programme se-
quence.
Do not overfill the detergent com-
partment.
If you wish, deactivate automatic dis-
pensing/AutoDos.
Ensure that the detergent packaging
is properly closed after use. This pre-
vents the detergent from getting
damp and clumping together.

is displayed.
Symbols appear to indicate which stage
the programme is at:
Pre-wash/Soak
Main wash
Interim rinse
Final rinse
Drying
End
The displayed duration may vary for the
same programme. It is influenced by, for
example, the temperature of the incom-
ing water, the reactivation cycle of the
water softener, the detergent type and
the amount of dishes and how soiled
they are.
When a programme is selected for the
first time, the display will show the aver-
age programme duration for a cold wa-
ter connection.
The programme durations shown in the
“Programme overview” chapter refer to
standard test loads and temperatures.
Each time a programme is run, the con-
trol module calculates the programme
duration according to the temperature
of the water taken into the dishwasher
and the size of the load.
Starting the programme
Start the programme by closing the
door.
If necessary, confirm the previously
displayed message with OK.
The optical in-operation indicator light
comes on to show that a programme
sequence has been started.
During a programme sequence, you

ation indicator light will flash slowly with
the door shut. The buzzer might also
sound.
The in-operation indicator light will go
out 10minutes after the end of the pro-
gramme if the door is closed.
The programme has ended when the
display shows the message Finished.
In some programmes, if the “AutoOpen”
function is activated, the door will auto-
matically open slightly (see “Settings –
AutoOpen”). This improves the drying
process.
If the Consumption programmable func-
tion is switched on, you can now display
the actual energy and water consump-
tion of the programme that has just fin-
ished (see “Caring for the environment
– EcoFeedback consumption indic-
ator”).

grammes (see “Extra clean” or “Extra
dry” under “Extras”).
Risk of damage due to steam.
Steam from the dishwasher could
damage delicate housing units and
the edges of worktops when you
open the door at the end of the pro-
gramme if the fan is no longer run-
ning.
If you have deactivated the automatic
door opening function (see “Settings

should be closed as a precaution.
Operation
70
Unloading the dishwasher
Dishes tend to break and chip more
easily when they are hot. Allow the
dishes to cool until they are comfortable
enough to handle before unloading
them.
If you open the door fully after switching
off, the dishes will cool much faster.
First unload the lower basket, then
the upper basket and finally the 3D
MultiFlex tray (if present).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and 3D MultiFlex tray
from falling onto the dishes in the
lower basket.
Interrupting a programme
A programme will be interrupted as
soon as the door is opened.
If the door is closed again, the pro-
gramme will continue from the point it
was at before the door was opened.
Risk of scalding due to hot water.
During operation, water in the dish-
washer may be very hot.
During operation, only open the door
with extreme caution.

Further programmes
ComfortWash+ 55°C
Programme for cleaning a mixed load of
crockery with normal household food
residues.
ExtraQuiet 50°C
Very quiet programme with longer run-
ning time. This programme is suitable
for mixed crockery with normal house-
hold food residues that have dried on
slightly.
Gentle 45°C
Programme for particularly gentle clean-
ing of temperature-sensitive crockery,
glasses and plastics with normal house-
hold food residues that have slightly
dried on.
Maintenance wash
The dishwasher wash cabinet is gener-
ally self-cleaning. However, if residues
or deposits occur, use the Mainten-
anceprogramme to clean it. The dish-
washer must not be loaded for this pro-
gramme. This programme is designed
for cleaning the wash cabinet using care
products such as dishwasher cleaner.
Follow the instructions on the pack-
aging. When using dishwasher care
products, detergent should not be dis-
pensed. For this reason, automatic dis-
pensing (if available) will be deactivated
for this programme.
Rinse out salt
Programme for rinsing the wash cabinet
after filling the salt reservoir. Each time
you remove the salt reservoir cap, im-
mediately start the Rinse out salt pro-
gramme without load items and without
detergent dispensing. This will dissolve
and remove any traces of salt from the
wash cabinet.
QuickPowerWash
Short programme under one hour for
mixed crockery with normal household
food residues that have dried on
slightly. The programme can be selec-
ted via the PowerWash programme in
conjunction with the Quick extra (see
“Extras – Quick”).
Extras
79
Selecting extras
You can use extras to adjust the pro-
grammes.
To do this, you can select or deselect
the extras before starting the selected
programme.
Press the Extras button.
Select the extra you want and confirm
with OK.
Extras that cannot be combined with
the selected programme or extra are in-
dicated by a lock symbol.
If necessary, a corresponding message
appears on the display.
In this instance, confirm the message
with OK.
Start the programme by closing the
door.
You can set whether the selected extras
are to remain permanently activated for
the respective programme (see “Set-
tings – Saving extras”).
Quick
You can reduce the programme running
time using the Quick extra.
The time by which the programme run-
ning time is shortened varies according
to the selected programme.
In order to achieve optimum wash res-
ults, the temperature, and therefore the
energy consumption, will slightly in-
crease with this option.
The Quick extra may take precedence
over other selected options.
Combining the PowerWash pro-
gramme with the Quick extra results in
the QuickPowerWash programme, a
short programme for slightly dried-on
food residues.
Extras
80
BottleClean
You can select the BottleClean extra to
increase the cleaning performance of
the programmes for tall, narrow hollow
containers, e.g. beer glasses, drinking
bottles. Load items that have been
placed in the glass and bottle holders in
the lower basket are cleaned particularly
thoroughly (see “Loading the dish-
washer – FlexCare Glass&Bottle”).
When this extra is activated, the pro-
gramme running time is extended and
the cleaning temperature may increase.
This will increase the water consump-
tion and energy consumption.
IntenseZone
You can select the IntenseZone extra to
increase the cleaning performance of
the programmes in the lower basket.
When this extra is activated, the pro-
gramme running time is extended and
the cleaning temperature increases. This
will increase the water consumption and
energy consumption.
Extraclean
You can select this extra to increase the
cleaning performance of the pro-
grammes.
When this extra is activated, the pro-
gramme running time is extended and
the cleaning temperature increases. This
will increase the water consumption and
energy consumption.
Extradry
You can select this extra to increase the
programme’s drying performance.
When this extra is activated, the pro-
gramme running time is extended and
the final rinse temperature increases.
This will increase energy consumption.
Cleaning and care
81
Check the condition of your dish-
washer regularly (approx. every 4–6
months). In this way, faults and prob-
lems can be avoided.
Damage due to unsuitable clean-
ing agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or 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-clean-
ing, provided that the correct amount of
detergent is always used.
The frequent use of low-temperature
wash programmes (<50°C) increases
the risk of contamination and odours in-
side the wash cabinet. Run the Intens-
ive75°C programme once per month to
clean the wash cabinet and prevent
odours from developing.
However, if residues such as limescale
or grease have been deposited, use the
Maintenanceprogramme to clean the
dishwasher (see “Programme overview
– Further programmes”) with dish-
washer cleaner. Follow the instructions
on the product packaging.
Miele cleaning and care products are
available to order from the Miele Cus-
tomer Service Department or from the
Miele online shop.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Hygiene cycle
If you mainly use low temperature pro-
grammes, there is a risk of bacteria and
unpleasant odours building up in the
wash cabinet. If you repeatedly use low
temperature programmes, you should
regularly run a high temperature pro-
gramme. This is to prevent the build-up
of residues and odours.
You can activate or deactivate a Hygiene
info message (see “Settings – Hygiene
cycle”).
If you deactivate this message, run the
Intensive75°Cprogramme once per
month to clean the wash cabinet and
prevent odours from developing.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
The door seal and the sides of the dish-
washer door cannot be reached and
cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a res-
ult, mould can develop here.
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe off any food or drink residues
that may have dripped onto the sides
of dishwasher door.
Cleaning the control field
The control field should only be wiped
with a clean, damp cloth.
Cleaning and care
82
Cleaning the reflector panel
The reflector panel for the optical in-op-
eration indicator light is situated on the
protective foil underneath the worktop.
The reflector panel should only be
cleaned with a damp cloth if neces-
sary.
Cleaning the appliance front
Damage due to soiling.
Soiling that is left too long might be-
come impossible to remove and
could cause the external surfaces to
alter or discolour.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Clean the appliance front with a soft
sponge cloth and a solution of warm
water and washing-up liquid. After
cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using
a soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfibre cloth
without dishwasher detergent can
also be used.
To avoid damaging the external sur-
faces, do not use the following:
- Cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids or chlorides
- Descaling agents
- Abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. scour-
ing powder, scouring liquid, or pumice
stones
- Cleaning agents containing solvents
- Stainless steel cleaners
- Dishwasher cleaners
- Oven cleaner
- Glass cleaning agents
- Hard, abrasive brushes, cloths or
sponges, e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges that have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
- Eraser stain remover blocks
- Sharp metal scrapers
- Wire wool
- Steam cleaners
Cleaning and care
83
Cleaning the AutoDos
If the Clean AutoDos message is dis-
played, check that the AutoDos is
clean, and clean it if necessary, e.g.
powder residues. This helps keep the
AutoDos working properly.
In order to ensure that the AutoDos
function works at its best, check it
each time you replace the PowerDisk
and clean it if needed.
PowerDisk holder

The AutoDos lid must close tightly so
that the detergent powder does not
get wet and clump together.
Make sure that all seals are clean and
clean them if necessary.
Insert a filled PowerDisk and press it
evenly downwards until it sits flush.
Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until
the lid handle is directly below the
symbol. (see “Detergent – Inserting a
PowerDisk”).
Regularly check the lower spray arm
for any blockages to ensure that the
detergent outlet of the AutoDos can
be fully flushed out (see “Cleaning
and care – Cleaning the spray arms”).
Cleaning and care
85
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm nozzles and bearings. The
spray arms should therefore be inspec-
ted regularly (approx. every 2–
4months).
Never run a wash programme
without using the spray arms.
Damage due to soiling entering
the circulation system.
Without filters, soiling can enter the
circulation system and cause a block-
age.
Do not run a wash programme
without the lower spray arm or
without the filters.
When cleaning the filters and spray
arms, make sure that coarse soiling
cannot get into the circulation sys-
tem.

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 block-
age.
Do not run a wash programme
without the lower spray arm or
without the filters.
When cleaning the filters and spray
arms, make sure that coarse soiling
cannot get into the circulation sys-
tem.
The filters can become blocked by soil-
ing that collects over time. The level of
soiling and the time it takes before the
filters need cleaning will vary depending
on use.

Spray arm fault
Problem Cause and remedy
During the programme
and at the end of the
programme, the display
shows the following
message:
Check spray arms
The dishwasher does
not switch off at the end
of the programme.
The crockery may not be
clean because no deter-
gent was dispensed.
The bottom spray arm is blocked or the nozzles of the
bottom spray arm are clogged. The AutoDos detergent
outlet may not be completely flushed out.
Switch the dishwasher off and back on again.
A message will appear on the display.
Perform a rotation check of the lower spray arm and
rearrange the crockery if it is blocking the spray arm.
Clean the lower spray arm (see “Cleaning and care –
Cleaning the spray arms”).
Confirm the message with OK.
Start the programme again.
General problems with the dishwasher
Problem Cause and remedy
The indicator lights and
the display are dark.
The dishwasher has switched off automatically to save
energy.
Switch the dishwasher on again with the button.
Detergent residue is left
in the detergent com-
partment at the end of a
programme.
The detergent compartment was still damp when de-
tergent was added.
Only add the detergent when the detergent com-
partment is dry.
The detergent compart-
ment lid cannot be
closed.
Residual detergent is blocking the catch.
Remove the residual detergent.
At the end of a pro-
gramme there is a film of
moisture on the inside of
the door and possibly on
the interior cabinet
walls.
This is part of the normal function of the drying sys-
tem. The moisture will dissipate after a short while.
Problem solving guide
101
Problem Cause and remedy
Water remains in the
wash cabinet at the end
of a programme.
Before rectifying the problem:
Switch the dishwasher off.
The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged.
Clean the filter combination (see “Cleaning and
care” chapter, “Cleaning the filters” section).
The drain pump is blocked.
Clean the drain pump (see “Cleaning and care”
chapter, “Cleaning the drain pump” section).
The drain hose is kinked.
Remove any kinks from the drain hose.
Build-up of odours in the
wash cabinet
The frequent use of low-temperature wash pro-
grammes (<50°C) increases the risk of contamina-
tion and odours inside the wash cabinet.
Regularly run a high-temperature programme. This is
to prevent the build-up of residues and odours.
Noises
Problem Cause and remedy
Knocking noise in the
wash cabinet
A spray arm is knocking against a wash item.
Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash
items that are obstructing the spray arm.
Rattling noise in the
wash cabinet
Wash items are insecure in the wash cabinet.
Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash
items so that they sit securely.
There is a foreign object (e.g. glass shard) in the drain
pump.
Remove the foreign object from the drain pump (see
“Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the drain
pump” section).
Knocking noise in the
water pipes
This may be caused by the on-site installation or the
cross-section of the piping.
However, this will not affect the functioning of the
dishwasher in any way. If in doubt, contact a suitably
qualified plumber.
Problem solving guide
102
Unsatisfactory washing result
Problem Cause and remedy
The crockery is not
clean.
The crockery was not loaded correctly.
See notes under “Loading the dishwasher” for ex-
amples on how to load crockery and cutlery.
The programme was not powerful enough.
Select a more powerful programme (see “Pro-
gramme overview”).
Activate the Extra clean function (see “Extras – Extra
clean”).
Activate the “Second interim rinse” function (see
“Settings – Second interim rinse”).
Not enough detergent was dispensed.
Use more detergent during manual dispensing or
change the detergent you are using.
Increase the dispensing quantity during automatic
dispensing (if available) (see “Settings – AutoDos”).
Items are blocking the path of the spray arms.
Carry out a rotation check and if needed rearrange
the items so that the spray arms can rotate freely.
The filter combination in the wash cabinet is not clean
or was incorrectly fitted.
This may have caused the spray arm jets to become
blocked.
Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly.
Clean the spray arm jets if necessary (see “Cleaning
and care – Cleaning the spray arms”).
There are smears on
glassware and cutlery.
There is a bluish sheen
on the surface of glass-
ware. The film can be
wiped off.
The rinse aid dosage is set too high.
Reduce the dosage (see “Settings” chapter, “Rinse
aid” section).
Glassware has a brown
or blue tinge. The film
cannot be wiped off.
Ingredients from the detergent have formed a deposit.
Switch to another detergent straight away.
Problem solving guide
103
Problem Cause and remedy
Glassware is dull and
discoloured. The film
cannot be wiped off.
The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surface
has altered.
No remedy.
Purchase glassware that is dishwasher-proof.
Tea or lipstick stains
have not been com-
pletely removed.
The wash temperature of the selected programme
was too low.
Select a programme with a higher main wash tem-
perature.
The bleaching effect of the detergent used is too low.
Switch to another detergent.
White residue is visible
on the crockery. Cloud-
ing has occurred on
glassware and cutlery.
The film can be wiped
off.
The rinse aid dosage is set too low.
Increase the dispensing quantity (see “Settings –
Rinse aid”).
There is no salt in the salt reservoir.
Fill the salt reservoir (see “Before using for the first
time – Dishwasher salt”).
The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on cor-
rectly.
Replace the cap, making sure that it screws back on
correctly.
Unsuitable combination detergents were used.
Switch to another detergent. If using detergent tabs
or powder detergent, do not choose combination
products and ensure you refill the dishwasher salt
and rinse aid.
The water softener is programmed to too low a water
hardness level.
Programme the water softener to a higher water
hardness level (see “Settings – Water hardness”).
Too much detergent was dispensed.
Reduce the dispensing quantity during automatic
dispensing (if available) (see “Settings – AutoDos”).
Activate the “Second interim rinse” function (see
“Settings – Second interim rinse”).
Not enough combination detergent was dispensed.
The water softener performance is not sufficient.
Increase the dispensing quantity during automatic
dispensing (if available) (see “Settings – AutoDos”).
Problem solving guide
104
Problem Cause and remedy
Add more dishwasher salt.
Plastic items are discol-
oured.
Natural dyes, e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or ketchup
may be the cause. The amount of detergent used or
its bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with nat-
ural dyes.
Use more detergent (see “Detergent”).
Parts that are already discoloured will not revert to
their original colour.
There are rust stains on
cutlery.
The affected items are not corrosion-resistant.
No remedy.
Purchase cutlery that is dishwasher-proof.
A programme was not run after dishwasher salt was
added. Traces of salt have got into the normal wash
cycle.
Immediately after filling the salt reservoir and each
time you remove the salt reservoir cap, run the Rinse
salt programme without load items in the dish-
washer to dissolve and remove any traces of salt
from the wash cabinet.
The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on cor-
rectly.
Replace the cap, making sure that it screws back on
correctly.

The Miele Waterproof system
Provided that your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele Waterproof
system will protect you from water
damage throughout its lifetime.
Water inlet
Health risk due to wash water.
Water in the dishwasher is not drink-
ing water.
Do not drink any water from the dish-
washer.
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking wa-
ter specification of the country in
which the dishwasher is being oper-
ated.
Connect the dishwasher to a drinking
water supply.
The dishwasher may be connected to
cold or hot water (up to max. 60°C)
supplies.
If energy-saving water heating sources
such as solar energy circulation systems
are used, we recommend connecting to
the hot water connection. This saves
both time and electrical energy costs.
Hot water is used in all programmes.
The SolarSave programme (if available)
requires a hot water connection of
between a minimum of 45°C and a
maximum of 60°C (inlet temperature).
The higher the water intake temperat-
ure, the better the cleaning and drying
results.
The water inlet hose is approximately
1.5m long. A 1.5m long, flexible metal
extension hose (tested to 14,000kPa/
140bar) is available as an optional ac-
cessory from Miele dealers or the Miele
Customer Service Department.
A stopcock with a ¾"threaded union is
required for the connection. If a stop-
cock is not available, only a qualified in-
staller may connect the dishwasher to
the drinking water supply.
The water connection pressure must be
between 50 and 1000kPa. If the water
connection pressure is too high, a pres-
sure reducing valve must be fitted.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
108
Risk of damage from leaking wa-
ter.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure. Water leaking
from it can cause damage.
You should therefore open the stop-
cock slowly and check for leaks. Cor-
rect the position of the seal and
screw thread if appropriate. Check
the screw connections regularly to
make sure they are still tight.
Risk of damage due to excessive
pressure.
A brief increase in the water connec-
tion pressure can damage compon-
ents of the dishwasher.
This dishwasher must only be oper-
ated when it is connected to a fully
vented plumbing system.
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
There are live electrical components
in the water inlet hose.
The water inlet hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way
(see illustration).
For Germany only
For the protection of drinking water, a
non-return valve must be installed
between the stopcock and the water
connection of the dishwasher. If the
building’s plumbing has been installed
correctly, the connections required for
this (e.g. angle valve) will already have
this safety feature.
Make sure that a non-return valve is fit-
ted in the plumbing.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
109
Water drainage
The dishwasher’s drainage system is fit-
ted with a non-return valve, which pre-
vents dirty water from flowing back into
the appliance via the drain hose.
The dishwasher is supplied with ap-
prox.1.5m of flexible drain hose with an
internal diameter of 22mm.
The drain hose can be extended using a
connection piece to attach a further
length of hose. The drainage length
must not be longer than 4m and the
delivery head no higher than 1m.
If the hose is to be directly fitted to the
drainage outlet on site, use the hose clip
supplied (see installation plan).
The hose can be directed to the left or
the right of the appliance.
The on-site connector for the drain hose
can be adapted to different hose dia-
meters. If the connector extends too far
into the drain hose, it must be
shortened. Otherwise, the drain hose
can become blocked.
The drain hose must not be shortened.
Lay the drain hose so that it does not
kink and is not being subjected to
pressure or tension.
Risk of damage from leaking wa-
ter.
Leaking water can cause damage.
After commissioning, make sure that
the water is not leaking.
Venting the water drain
If the on-site drainage connection is
situated lower than the guide path for
the lower basket rollers in the open
door, the drainage system must be ven-
ted. Otherwise, a siphoning effect can
cause the wash cabinet to empty itself
of water during a programme.
Open the dishwasher door fully.

Remove the lower basket.
Insert a screwdriver into the middle
opening of the vent valve in the left
wash cabinet wall.
Press the screwdriver further into the
opening and push it through the
membrane behind.
The vent opening for the water drain is
now open.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
110
Electrical connection
The dishwasher is “connector-ready” as
standard for connection to an earthed
socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the dishwasher has been installed.
If that is not possible, ensure that a suit-
able means of disconnection is provided
on the installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the dishwasher to a
multi-socket adapter or to an exten-
sion lead can overload the mains
connection cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension lead or multi-socket adapter.
The electrical installation must comply
with VDE0100 requirements.
For safety reasons, we recommend us-
ing a type residual current device
(RCD) in the assigned electrical installa-
tion for connecting the dishwasher.
If the mains connection cable is dam-
aged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains connection cable of the
same type (available from the Miele
Customer Service Department). For
safety reasons, such replacement may
only be carried out by a qualified spe-
cialist or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
These operating instructions and the
data plate indicate the nominal power
consumption and the appropriate fuse
rating. Compare this information with
the data of the on-site electrical con-
nection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not syn-
chronised with the mains power supply
(e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation
is that the power supply system com-
plies with the specifications of
EN50160 or an equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the pro-
tective measures provided in the do-
mestic electrical installation and in this
Miele product must also be maintained
in isolated operation or in operation that
is not synchronised with the mains
power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in
the installation. As described, for ex-
ample, in the current version of BS OH-
SAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.
