Keeping the relevant or sensor button pressed will increase or decrease the time automatically.

Setting the water hardness

The display changes to the screen for setting the water hardness.

- The dishwasher must be programmed to the correct water hardness for your area.

- Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

- Where the water hardness fluctuates, e.g., between 10-16 gpg (10–15 °dH), always program the dishwasher to the higher value (16 gpg (15 °dH) in this example).

It is useful to know your water hardness so that you can provide the service technician with this information in the event of any service calls.

Enter the water hardness below:

____________ gpg (°dH)

The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level 1 gpg (1 °dH).

• Set the water hardness level in your area and confirm with OK.

See “Water hardness” under “Settings” for more information.

Activating AutoDos

The display changes to the settings screen for AutoDos (see “Automatic dispensing/AutoDos” under “Detergent”).

Even if you do not wish to use AutoDos, you must remove the transport locking device from the PowerDisk compartment before running the first program (see “Activating AutoDos” under “Detergent”).

You can activate AutoDos.

If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you can manually dispense the detergent via the detergent compartment (see Manual detergent dispensing” under Detergent”).

• Select the setting you want and confirm with OK.

This setting applies to all programs and you can change it at any time using the AutoDos sensor button.

Finally, prompts will appear in the display.

After confirming these prompts withnOK, the messages Refill salt and Add rinse aid may appear.

• Add salt and rinse aid if necessary see “Reactivation salt” and “Rinse aid” under “Before using for the first time”).
• Select OK to confirm the messages.

The program selected will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate sensor button will be illuminated. The display will then show the estimated program duration for the program selected.

Reactivation salt

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on dishes and on the inner surfaces of the machine.

Domestic water with a hardness level higher than 5 gpg (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 73 gpg (70 °dH – German scale).

In order to be reactivated, the water softener requires reactivation salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 22 gpg, or < 21 °dH – German scale), reactivation salt may not be required if combination detergents are being used (see “Active ingredients” under “Detergents”).

If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 5 gpg (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”).

Damage to the water softener from detergent. Dishwasher detergent will damage the softener assembly. Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.

Damage caused by using unsuitable salts. Some types of salt may contain insoluble components which can cause the water softener to malfunction. Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt.

If you only ever use combination detergent 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 using combination detergents, you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid. Turn the refill reminders back on if required.

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 1/2 gallon (2 l) of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used once, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir.

• Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Danger of corrosion due to saline solution. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened. Salt solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items. The cap should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir.

• Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 1/2 gallon (2 l) of water (first use only).

• Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with reactivation salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds up to 4.4 lb (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.
• Immediately after filling the salt reservoir and each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, run the QuickIntenseWash program with the Express program option selected without wash items in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.

Refilling the salt

• Fill the salt reservoir with reactivation salt when Refill salt appears in the display.
• Confirm with OK.

The salt refill indicator will go out.

Danger of corrosion due to saline solution. Salt solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items.

Each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, you must run the QuickIntenseWash program with the Express program option selected without wash items in the dishwasher. This will dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled, the 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. The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 5 gpg (5 °dH – German scale).

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water does not cling and leave marks on dishes during the drying phase, and helps dishes dry faster after they have been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the container and the amount set is dispensed automatically.

Liquid dish soap or detergent can cause damage. Liquid dish soap and detergent can damage the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill it with rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.

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 combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid. However, for optimum rinsing and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add reactivation salt and rinse aid separately.

If you only ever use combination detergent 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 using combination detergents, you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid. Turn the refill reminders back on if required.

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 approximately 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.

1. Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
2. Confirm with OK.

The rinse-aid refill indicator will go out.

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your machine 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 unnecessarily increases water and energy consumption.

- Make full use of the basket capacity without overloading the dishwasher. This results in the most economical dishwashing in terms of energy and water consumption.

- Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed (see “Program overview”).

- Select the Normal program for energy-saving dishwashing. This program is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption for cleaning dishes with a normal level of soiling.

- If you have a hot water connection, choose the Energy Saver program (see “Water intake” under “Installation”). The wash water will not be heated up during this program.

- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on detergent dosage.

- If you are manually dosing the detergent, reduce the amount of detergent by 1 /3 when using powder or liquid detergent if the baskets are only half full.

• The glass holder can be raised to make more room for tall items.

You can set the glass holder at two different heights.

• Slide the glass holder to the desired height until the catches click into place at the top or the bottom.

Filters

You can also wash Miele VentilationHood Filters.

Select the Filters program for optimum dishwashing results.

Damage caused by protruding parts. Protruding parts can damage the dishwasher. Load the filters in such a way that no corners protrude over the side of the basket.

Damage caused by wash items with sharp edges. Heavy and sharp wash items can damage the coating of the basket struts. Load the filters carefully.

Risk of scalding due to hot water. At the end of the program, the filters may still contain hot water. Be careful when unloading the filters.

Loading the filters

You can wash 2 ventilation hood filters in the upper basket and 2 filters in the lower basket at once.

• If you only want to wash 2 filters, put them in the upper basket.

• Set the upper basket into the top or middle position if you load filters in the lower basket.

Detergents

Inserting a PowerDisk

Turn on the dishwasher before you replace the PowerDisk so that the dishwasher recognizes it.

When the message PowerDisk almost empty appears, the reservoir contains sufficient detergent for 2–3 programs only.

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 appear on the display.

• Remove the empty PowerDisk.

• If the arrows in the PowerDisk holder and in the viewing window are not pointing towards each other, remove the PowerDisk holder (see “Cleaning the AutoDos” under “Cleaning and care”).
• Put the holder back into place so that the arrows point towards each other and the holder lies flat. When doing this, only touch the PowerDisk holder by the yellow tab in the middle. Do not touch the side tab.
• Insert the new PowerDisk and press it evenly downwards until it sits flush.

• Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until the lid handle is directly below the symbol.

If the PowerDisk is not in the correct starting position, it will be rotated automatically and the AutoDos function will be activated. Wait until this procedure ends before you start a program.

The AutoDos lid must be closed to prevent damage to the AutoDos. Always close the AutoDos lid before you close the dishwasher door. Otherwise, the AutoDos may become damaged.

Programs cannot start when the AutoDos lid is open.

The detergent powder must be dry so that it does not clump together. Do not fill the AutoDos with any type of fluid.

In order to ensure that the AutoDos works at its best, check it each time you replace the PowerDisk and clean it if needed (see “Cleaning the AutoDos” under “Cleaning and care”).

Manual detergent dispensing

Detergent must be manually dispensed if you have deactivated automatic dispensing using the AutoDos sensor button.

Detergent dispensing

The detergent compartment holds a maximum of 3 1/2" tablespoons..

There are marks in the detergent compartment to aid with dispensing: 1 1/4, 2 tablespoons (20, 30 ml). When the door is opened to a horizontal position, they show the approximate fill level in ml and the maximum fill height.

• Follow the detergent dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
• Unless directed otherwise, use one detergent tab or add 1 1/4 to 2 tablespoons (20 to 30 ml) of detergent to the detergent compartment, depending on the level of soiling of the dishware.

If you use less than the recommended amount of detergent, the dishware may not get properly clean.

Some tabs may not dissolve completely when the program QuickIntenseWash is used.

Program overview

1) This program is used for energy labeling purposes

2 Values were calculated under standardized testing conditions. In practice there may be variations to these figures due to variable conditions and data recorded by the sensors. Durations shown will reflect your household conditions. Selecting program options will also affect consumption levels and program durations (see “program options”).

The energy consumption with a hot water supply includes the energy used to heat the water (exception: EnergySaver, if available).

Cleaning and care

Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4– 6 months). This helps to avoid faults and problems.

Damage due to unsuitable cleaning agents. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolor all surfaces. Only use cleaning agents formulated for use on the relevant surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet

The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.

The frequent use of low-temperature wash programs increases the risk of contamination and odors inside the wash cabinet. Run the Pots & Pans program once per month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odors from developing.

However, if residues such as limescale or grease have been deposited, use the Clean Machine program to clean the dishwasher (see “Additional programs ” under “Program overview”) with dishwasher cleaner (see “Clean Machine” under “Optional accessories”). Follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

Miele cleaning and care products are available to order from Miele Customer Service or from Miele’s online store.

• Clean the filters in the wash cabinet regularly

Cleaning the door and the door seal

The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a result, mold can develop here.

• Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits.
• Wipe off any food or drink residues which may have dripped onto the sides of the dishwasher door before closing it.

Cleaning the control panel

• The control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth.

Cleaning the 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 necessary.

Cleaning the front of the machine

Damage due to soiling. Soiling that is left too long might become 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 liquid dish soap. After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

A clean, damp microfiber cloth without detergent can also be used.

To avoid damaging the external surfaces, do not use the following:

- cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids, or 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 the AutoDos

You should regularly check (about every 2–3 months when the PowerDisk is empty) that the pouring channel is clean, and clean it if necessary. This helps keep the AutoDos working properly.

In order to ensure that the AutoDos works at its best, check it each time you replace the PowerDisk and clean it if needed.

1. PowerDisk holder
2. Pouring channel for dispensing the detergent from the PowerDisk into the wash cabinet

• Turn the AutoDos lid to and open it.
• Remove the PowerDisk if appropriate.

• Pull the PowerDisk holder upwards by the yellow tabs and remove it. When doing so, do not pull on the side tab.

• Use the tab (see arrow) 1 to release the fill channel and pull it out 2.
• Clean the pouring channel using water and a soft brush if necessary.

It is very important that no moisture is able to access the inside of the AutoDos system during cleaning.

• Dry the fill channel well so that the detergent powder does not clump together.
• Insert the fill channel again until the tab clicks into place.

• Put the holder back into place so that the arrows in the PowerDisk holder and in the viewing window point towards each other. The holder must lie flat.

The AutoDos lid must close tightly so that the detergent powder does not get wet and clump together. Make sure that all seals are clean.

• Insert a PowerDisk.
• Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until the lid handle is directly below the symbol (see “Inserting a PowerDisk” under “Detergent”).

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 the spray arms” under “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 regularly (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 filters. When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.

• 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 unscrew the spray arm by rotating the screw thread counterclockwise.

• Rotate the screw thread of the middle spray arm clockwise 1 (see diagram) and remove the spray arm 2.

Removing the lower spray arm

• Remove the lower basket.

• Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm counterclockwise 1 and pull the spray arm upwards to remove 2.

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 combination, remove any coarse soiling to prevent it from entering the circulation system.

• Remove the filter combination.

• In order to clean the inside of the filter, 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 filter combination.
• Reinstall the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.
• Refit the lower spray arm to the filter combination using the screw thread.

• Rotate the screw thread clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol.

Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter combination. Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage. Do not run a wash program without the lower spray arm or without the filters.

Cleaning the drain pump

If water remains in the wash cabinet after the end of a program, the water has not been pumped away. The drain pump may be blocked by foreign objects. These foreign objects are easy to remove.

• Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply. To do this, turn off at the electrical socket and withdraw the plug.
• Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see “Cleaning the filters” under “Cleaning and care”).
• Scoop the water out of the wash cabinet using a suitable small container or utensil.

• Press the catch of the drain pump cover inwards 1.
• Tip the cover inwards until it is released 2.
• Rinse the cover thoroughly under running water and remove all foreign objects.

The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover.

Risk of injury from glass splinters. It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump. Take care when cleaning the drain pump.

• Carefully remove all foreign objects from the drain pump. 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 correctly.

Damage due to incorrect cleaning. The components are delicate and can be damaged during cleaning. Take care when cleaning the drain pump.
