Proper use
6
This dishwasher complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use
can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the dishwasher, please read these
instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important in-
formation on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. Keep these instruc-
tions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
This dishwasher with its short program running times and power-
ful cleaning performance is intended for commercial use in office
kitchens, clubhouses, small businesses, active kitchens and other
similar commercial 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 breakfast 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 suitable for cleaning medical products.
This machine is designed exclusively for use as a “dishwasher” for
cleaning dishes, glassware and cutlery as described in these instruc-
tions. Any other use, conversions and modifications are not permit-
ted and could be dangerous.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
This dishwasher is intended for stationary, indoor use only.
The special inserts are to be used for their specific purpose only.
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 whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way.
Proper use
7
This dishwasher is supplied with a special bulb to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance and vibration). This special bulb must only be
used for the purpose for which it is intended, i.e. to illuminate the
wash chamber. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement of
bulbs may only be carried out by a Miele-authorized technician.
Important safety instructions
8
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 fur-
niture in the area around the dishwasher should be designed for
commercial use.
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 dishwasher must only be operated with prop-
erly adjusted door springs.
Technical safety
Installation and repair work should be performed by a qualified
and trained service technician in accordance with local and national
safety regulations. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous
and may void the warranty.
This dishwasher must only be operated by appropriately trained
personnel. They must be instructed and trained regularly.
Before using the dishwasher, check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not use a damaged dishwasher. This could be danger-
ous.
In the event of a damaged or leaking dishwasher, switch off at the
mains immediately and call Miele Customer Service, a Miele dealer,
or a suitably qualified service technician.
Important safety instructions
9
Faulty components may only be replaced by genuine Miele origi-
nal parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the
safety standards of the appliance.
The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly grounded. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held li-
able for the consequences of an inadequate grounding system (e.g.,
electric shock).
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.
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).

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.
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 faucet has been turned off during longer absences (for exam-
ple, vacation).
The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is
switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to
the electricity supply.
Important safety instructions
11
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.
Only use cleaning agents formulated for use in dishwashers. Un-
suitable cleaning agents could adversely affect components of the
dishwasher or the items being cleaned.
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. 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 danger of burning
or scalding. Dishes, cutlery, baskets, and inserts must be allowed to
cool down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining in contain-
ers could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash chamber before
taking 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
12
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 and in the situa-
tion specified, to avoid material damage and serious chemical reac-
tions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).
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.
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.
To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids
or solutions containing chloride to get into the wash cabinet. Simi-
larly avoid any materials with a corrosive effect.
Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease,
or paint in the dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the
dishwasher.
Do not clean the dishwasher or its near vicinity with a hose or a
pressure washer.
Ensure that the stainless steel outer casing of the appliance does
not come into contact with solutions or steam containing acid to
avoid any corrosion damage.
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.
Remove any coarse food deposits from the items being cleaned
before loading them in the dishwasher.
Important safety instructions
13
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.
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.
Accessories
Accessories may only be fitted if approved by Miele. If other parts
are used, any warranty and product liability claims shall be void.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by failure to com-
ply with these safety instructions and warnings.

ger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with regular household waste
and follow local regulations on proper
disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please en-
sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob-
serve safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an en-
trapment hazard.
Caring for the environment
18
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:
– Make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher. This re-
sults in the most economical dish-
washing.
– Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
– Select the ECO program for energy-
saving dishwashing. This program is
the most efficient in terms of its com-
bined energy and water consumption
for cleaning dishes 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
baskets are only half full.
Initial commissioning
19
Opening the door

Initial commissioning
21
Water hardness
The display changes to the screen for
setting the water hardness.
– The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed to the correct water hard-
ness 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 10-16gpg (10-15°d),
always program the dishwasher to
the higher value (16gpg in this exam-
ple).
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
The dishwasher is programmed at the
factory for a water hardness level of
1gpg (1°d).
Use the arrow buttons to select
the hardness of your water supply
and confirm with OK.
See “Settings menu, Water hardness”
for more information on setting the
water hardness.
Finally, the notes Miele@home enabled
and Set up complete will appear in the
display.
After confirming these notes with OK,
the messages Refill salt and Refill
rinse aid may appear.
Add salt and rinse aid if necessary
(see “Before using for the first time –
Dishwasher salt” and “Rinse aid”).
Confirm the notes with OK.
The program selected will appear in the
display briefly and the indicator light for
the program selected will come on.
The display will then show the esti-
mated program duration for the pro-
gram selected.
These basic settings will be saved after
the dishwasher has been through one
complete program.
Initial commissioning
22
Before using the machine for
the first time, you require:
– approx. 2L of water,
– approx. 4.4lb of dishwasher salt,
– detergent for commercial dishwash-
ers,
– rinse aid for commercial dishwash-
ers.
Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.
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.
Dishwasher 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
cookware and on the inner surfaces of
the machine.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 4gpg (4°d) must be soft-
ened. This occurs automatically in the
integrated water softener. The water
softener is suitable for a water hardness
level of up to 38gpg (36°d).
The water softener requires dishwasher
salt.
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 5gpg
(5°d), you do not need to add dish-
washer salt. The salt refill indicator is
switched off automatically.
Dishwasher detergent will dam-
age the softener assembly.
Do not fill the salt compartment with
dishwasher detergent (including liq-
uid detergent).
Use only special, coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen
salt.
Other types of salt may contain in-
soluble components which can
cause the water softener to malfunc-
tion.
Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.
Initial commissioning
23
Filling the salt reservoir
Important! Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
2L of water to enable the salt to dis-
solve.
Once the dishwasher has been used
for the first time, there is always suf-
ficient water in the reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash chamber and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.
Water or brine will run out of the
reservoir when the cap is removed.
It should therefore only be removed
in order to refill the salt reservoir.
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2L of
water (first use only).
Place the provided funnel over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
dishwasher salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds approx.
4.4lb of salt, depending on the type
of salt.
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again firmly.
Run the Rinse & Hold program
without a load immediately after hav-
ing filled the reservoir with salt in or-
der to dilute any brine which may
have overflowed and have it pumped
away.
Initial commissioning
24
Salt refill indicator
Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt when Refill salt appears in the
display.
Confirm with OK.
The salt refill indicator will go out.
Danger of corrosion!
Run the Cold pre-rinse program
without a load immediately after hav-
ing filled the reservoir with salt in or-
der to dilute any brine which may
have overflowed and have it pumped
away.
After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the refill reminder 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 5gpg (5°d).
If you do not want the refill reminders
to appear, you can switch off both re-
fill reminders for salt and rinse aid if
you wish (see “Settings menu –
Switching off the refill reminders”).
Initial commissioning
25
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on
cookware during the drying phase, and
helps cookware dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is dis-
pensed automatically.
Fill the reservoir with rinse aid for
commercial dishwashers only. Do
not fill it with washing-up liquid or
cleaning agent.
This would damage the rinse aid
reservoir.
Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
– household vinegar with a max. 5%
acid content
or
– liquid citric acid with up to 10% acid
content.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
will not, however, be as good as when
rinse aid is used.
Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g., vinegar essence
with 25% acid).
This could damage the dishwasher.
Adding rinse aid
Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
Initial commissioning
26
Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
3.7 oz. (110 ml).
Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water can enter
the rinse aid reservoir during a pro-
gram.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring dur-
ing the next program.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for best results (see “Settings menu -
Rinse aid”).
Rinse aid indicator
When the Refill rinse aid message ap-
pears in the display, the reservoir con-
tains sufficient rinse aid for 2 – 3 pro-
grams only.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
Confirm with OK.
The rinse aid refill indicator will go out.
If you do not want the refill reminders
to appear, you can switch off both re-
fill reminders for salt and rinse aid if
you wish (see “Settings menu –
Switching off the refill reminders”).
Loading the dishwasher
27
Tips
Remove coarse food residues from the
dishes.
There is no need to rinse items under
running water!
Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, grease, or paint in
the dishwasher. These will damage
the dishwasher.
Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the
baskets, but the following notes should
be observed:
– Do not place dishes or cutlery inside
other pieces. They will cover each
other.
– 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
basket.
– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.,
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the center of the basket to
ensure better water coverage.
– 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. If in doubt, test
for free movement by manually rotat-
ing the spray arms.
– Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the bas-
kets.
Small items, e.g., lids, should there-
fore be placed in the cutlery tray or
cutlery basket (depending on model).
Some foods may contain natural
dyes, e.g., carrots, tomatoes or
tomato sauce. Plastic items in the
dishwasher may discolor if large
quantities of these foodstuffs find
their way into the dishwasher on the
dishes. The stability of plastic items
is not affected by this discoloration.
Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish-
washer may also cause plastic items
to discolor.

Items not recommended for dish-
washing
– Wooden cutlery, cutting boards and
dishes or items with wooden parts
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,
and decorative glassware
– Plastic items which are not heat-re-
sistant: the high temperatures in the
dishwasher may cause them to melt
or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminum
items may discolor or become matt.
– Colors painted over a glaze may fade
after a number of washes.
– Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal: clouding may
occur over time.
Please note:
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. It may
need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolor.
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon-
naise, mustard, fish, and marinades.
Aluminum components (e.g.,
range hood grease filters) must not
be cleaned with a commercial or in-
dustrial cleaning agent.
These may damage the material.
Tip: When purchasing new dishes and
cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-
safe.
Glass care
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. When washing del-
icate glassware in the dishwasher,
ensure that only a special glass-care
program with very low temperatures
is selected (see Program guide). This
will reduce the risk of clouding.
– Purchase glassware which is dish-
washer-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware).
– Use detergents with glass protective
additives.

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 cutlery tray to
ensure that water runs off them freely.
For optimum cleaning results arrange
spoons with the inner part facing the
center of the cutlery tray.
The upper spray arm must not be
blocked by items which are too big
(e.g., very large platters).
The side sections of the tray can be
moved into the middle using the yellow
grips in order to accommodate tall
cookware in the upper basket (see also

Detergent
Powder detergents
Use powder detergent or detergent
tabs only in the door dispenser com-
partment.
Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.
Detergent tabs can be used.
Only use detergent tabs that are
quick dissolving. Suitable detergent
tabs are available from Miele Profes-
sional.
Add powder detergent or detergent
tabs to the detergent compartment.
Detergent dosage
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 25g deter-
gent to compartmentII, depending on
the level of soiling. With very heavy
soiling, you can also add a small
amount of detergent to compart-
mentl (see “Program chart”).
Failure to use the recommended
amount of detergent may adversely
affect the cleaning results.
Detergents containing active
chlorine must not be used.
They can damage plastics and elas-
tomers in the dishwasher.
Do not inhale or ingest powder
detergent. Do not swallow dish-
washer detergents. Dishwasher de-
tergents can cause burning in the
nose, mouth, and throat if swal-
lowed. Seek medical attention imme-
diately if detergent has been swal-
lowed or inhaled. Keep children away
from detergents. Keep children away
from the dishwasher when the door
is open. Detergent residues could
still be present in the machine. Do
not fill the detergent dispenser until
just before starting the program.
Operation
41
Adding detergent
Press the opening catch on the deter-
gent dispenser. The flap will spring
open.
The flap is always open at the end of a
program.

and close the flap.
Ensure that the detergent packaging
is properly closed after use to avoid
the detergent getting damp and be-
coming lumpy.
Dispensing aid
Compartment I holds a maximum of
10mL
and compartment II holds a maximum
of 50mL of detergent.
In compartment II there are markings to
assist with dispensing: 20 and 30. They

Operation
43
Starting a program
Start the program by closing the
door.
The program starts.
The in-operation indicator comes on to
show that a program has been started.
A program should only be canceled
in the first few minutes, if at all. Im-
portant program stages could other-
wise be omitted.
Time display
The estimated duration of the program
selected appears in hours and minutes
in the display before the program be-
gins. During the program, the time left
until the end of the program is dis-
played.
Each program phase is indicated by a
symbol:
Pre-wash / Soak
Main wash
Interim rinse
Final rinse
Drying
End
The displayed program duration may
vary with the same program. It is influ-
enced by, among other things, the wa-
ter temperature at each intake, the re-
activation process of the water softener
and the amount of dishes.
The times shown in the program guide
refer to standard test loads and temper-
atures.
Each time a program is run, the elec-
tronic module calculates the program
duration required depending on the
temperature of the water taken into the
dishwasher and the amount of dish-
ware.
Operation
44
Energy management
To save energy, the dishwasher will
switch off automatically 10 minutes af-
ter the last time a button has been
pressed or after the end of a program.
Press the button to switch the
dishwasher back on.
The dishwasher will not switch off
while a program or the FlexiTimer is
running or if there is a fault.
Program end
At the end of a program, the in-opera-
tion indicator light will be flashing slowly
with the door shut. The buzzer might
also be sounding.
The program has finished when End
appears in the display and the door has
opened slightly (if applicable).
The drying fan may continue to run for
a few minutes at the end of the pro-
gram.
Open the door completely to re-en-
gage the door closing mechanism.
The dishwasher can now be emptied.
The in-operation indicator light will go
out 10 minutes after the end of the pro-
gram if the door is closed.
If you have deactivated the auto-
matic door-opening function (see
“Settings menu – AutoOpen”), but
would still like to open the door at
the end of the program, make sure
that you open the door fully.
Otherwise, steam from the dish-
washer could damage the edge of
the counter because the fan is no
longer running.
Operation
45
Switching off
At the end of a program:
Open the door.
The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the button.
Switching the dishwasher off during a
program stops the program.
Turning the dishwasher off during the
run-up to a delay start time (FlexiTimer)
will also stop the process.
If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e.g.,
while on vacation, the water supply
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 cutlery
tray.
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and cutlery tray from fall-
ing onto the dishes in the lower basket.
Interrupting a program
A program will be interrupted as soon
as the door is opened.
If the door is closed again, the program
will continue from the point it was at be-
fore the door was opened.
Water in the dishwasher may be
hot. Danger of scalding!
Only open the door if absolutely nec-
essary and exercise extreme caution
when doing so. Before closing the
door again, leave it ajar for approx.
20 seconds. This will enable the tem-
perature in the wash chamber to set-
tle. Raise the door upwards until the
catch engages.
Changing a program
If the detergent dispenser flap has al-
ready opened, do not change the
program.
If a program has already started and the
customer wishes to change it, proceed
as follows:
Open the door.
Turn the dishwasher off with the
button.
Turn the dishwasher on again with the
button.
Select the program you want, and
then start it by shutting the door.
The in-operation indicator comes on to
show that a program has been started.

EcoStart
In order to run your dishwasher in the
most economical way, you can use the
EcoStart option to take advantage of
your electricity supplier's time variable
rates (see “Options, FlexiTimer with
EcoStart”).
With this option selected, your dish-
washer will start automatically at your
electricity supplier's cheapest rate
times.
To use this option you must first set up
to three electricity rate time zones in
which the dishwasher can start. You
can allocate different priorities to these
time zones. The time with the cheapest
electricity rate will be given Priority 1.
Contact your electric supplier to find
out the times of the cheapest electricity
rates.
Once the electricity rate times have
been set, you can use the EcoStart op-
tion to set the latest finish time required
for each program.
The dishwasher will then start automati-
cally in the cheapest electricity rate time
and the program will end at the latest at
the finish time set.

Maintenance
To prolong the service life of the dish-
washer, it should should be serviced at
least once a year by Miele Customer
Service.
This service work covers the following
points:
– Electrical safety check
– Door mechanism and door seal
– Screw connectors and connections in
the wash cabinet
– Water intake and drainage
– Internal and external dispensing sys-
tems
– Spray arms
– Filter combination
– Collecting basin with 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.
All surfaces of this machine are
susceptible to scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolor all sur-
faces.
Cleaning the wash chamber
The wash chamber 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 chamber
regularly.
Cleaning and care
68
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.
Regularly wipe off any food or drink
residues which may have dripped
onto the sides and seals of the dish-
washer door with a damp cloth be-
fore closing it to prevent the build-up
of mold.
Cleaning the door front
If soiling remains longer, it may
happen that the surfaces can be-
come discolored or changed.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Clean the front with a solution of
warm water and a little dishwashing
liquid applied with a soft sponge.
Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.
Glass cleaners may be used to
clean the exterior. However do not
allow them to sit or “puddle”, this can
cause damage to the surface.
Remove the cleaner promptly.
To better maintain your appliance
avoid the following:
– Cleaning products containing soda,
ammonia, acid, or chloride
– Descaling agents
– Abrasive cleaning products, such as
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or
pumice stones,
– Cleaners containing solvents
– Stainless steel cleaners
– Dishwasher cleaner
– Oven cleaners
– 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 cleaning appliances
Cleaning and care
69
Checking the filters in the
wash chamber
The filter combination in the base of the
wash chamber retains coarse soil from
the suds solution. This prevents soiling
getting into the circulation system and
re-entering the chamber through the
spray arms.
This dishwasher must not be
used without all the filters in place!
Filters can become blocked by soiling
which 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 cy-
cles (factory default setting).
You can set the interval for the “Check
filters” message to appear to a value
between 30 and 60 program cycles (see
“Settings menu – Check filters”).
Check the filter combination.
Clean it if necessary.
Then confirm the message with OK.
The message will go out.
Filter system
Turn the dishwasher off.
Turn the handle counter-clockwise to
release the filter system .
Lift the filter system out of the dish-
washer . Remove any coarse parti-
cles and rinse the filter well under
running water.
Use a nylon brush if necessary.
Ensure that coarse soil does not
get into the circulation system and
cause a blockage.
Cleaning and care
70
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap
must be opened:
Press catches together in the di-
rection of the arrows as shown, and
open the filter .
Rinse all the filters under running wa-
ter.
Then close the flap so that the catch
engages.
Replace the filter system so that it lies
flat in the base of the wash cabinet.
Then turn the handle clockwise until
both arrows point towards each
other. This will lock the filter system in
place.
Take care when you are fitting
the filter system that it is secured in
position correctly.
Otherwise coarse soil could get into
the circulation system and cause a
blockage.
Cleaning and care
71
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray
arms should therefore be checked and
cleaned regularly.
Turn the dishwasher off.
Remove the spray arms as follows:
Take out the cutlery tray (if applica-
ble).
Push the top spray arm upward to
engage the inner ratchet, then un-
screw the spray arm.
Push the middle spray arm upward
to engage the ratchet, then un-
screw the spray arm .
Remove the lower basket.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly up-
ward to remove it.
Use a pointed object to push food
particles in the jets into the spray
arms.
Rinse the spray arms thoroughly un-
der running water.
Reinstall the spray arms and check
that they rotate freely.

Items are blocking the path of the spray arms.
Rearrange the items so that the spray arms can ro-
tate freely.
The filter system in the base of the wash chamber is
not clean or is not correctly fitted.
This may cause the spray arm jets to become
blocked.
Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly.
Clean the spray arm jets, if necessary (see “Clean-
ing and care – Cleaning the spray arms”).
The non-return valve is open and blocked. Dirty water
has flowed back into the wash chamber.
Clean the drain pump and the non-return valve
(see “Frequently asked questions”).
Smearing appears on
glassware and cutlery.
There is a bluish sheen
on the surface of glass-
ware; film can be wiped
off.

Cleaning the water intake
A filter is incorporated in the screw con-
nection of the water intake valve. The
filter must be cleaned when dirty, other-
wise insufficient water flows into the
wash cabinet.
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component.
The housing must not be dipped in
water.
Recommendation
If the water supply contains a large
amount of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the faucet and
the water intake hose threaded union.
This filter is available from a Miele
dealer or Miele Service.
To clean the filter:
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
electrical supply.
Switch off at the mains socket and
withdraw the plug.
Turn off the water supply.
Unscrew the water intake valve.
Take the seal ring out of the screw
connection.
Withdraw the filter using pointed pli-
ers and rinse clean under running wa-
ter.
Replace the filter and washer, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
Reconnect the water intake valve to
the faucet, making sure it goes on
correctly and is not cross-threaded.
Turn on the water supply.
If water leaks out, the screw connection
may not be connected securely or it
may have been screwed on at an angle.
Unscrew and reconnect the water in-
take valve correctly.

Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If the water has not been pumped away
at the end of a program, the drain pump
or the non-return valve might be
blocked. They are, however, easy to
clean.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
electrical supply. Turn off the dish-
washer and withdraw the plug.
Take the filter system out of the wash
cabinet (see “Cleaning and care,
Cleaning the filters”).
Scoop the water out of the wash cab-
inet using a suitable container or
utensil.
Press the catch for the non-return
valve inwards .
Tilt the non-return valve inwards until
it is released .
Rinse it thoroughly under running wa-
ter and remove any dirt from the non-
return valve.
The drain pump is located underneath
the non-return valve (see arrow).
Remove all foreign objects from the
drain pump (glass or bone splinters).
Before returning the non-return
valve, check that the drain pump is
not blocked. Spin the impeller several
times in both directions to check for
obstructions.
Carefully reinsert the non-return valve
and secure it with the locking clamp.
Make sure the locking clamp
clicks into place!
Be careful not to damage any
delicate components when cleaning
the drain pump and the non-return

Electrical connection
85
Electrical connection
All work on the electrical con-
nection must be carried out by Miele
Customer Service, a Miele-autho-
rized technician or a qualified electri-
cian.
– The electrical installation must be in
compliance with current local and na-
tional safety regulations!
– The plug connection must comply
with national regulations (plug and
socket must be accessible after the
machine has been installed). This
therefore facilitates an electrical
safety test performed during mainte-
nance or service work, for example.
– If the dishwasher is hard-wired to the
power supply, a mains switch capa-
ble of disconnecting the dishwasher
at all poles must be installed. This
mains switch must have a contact
gap of at least 3mm and also be
lockable in the off-position.
– If necessary, equipotential bonding
must be carried out.
– If replacing the power cable, use only
original Miele replacement parts or a
suitable cable with core cable ends.
– 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.
This machine can be converted to a
different type of power supply in ac-
cordance with the conversion diagram
and wiring diagram supplied.
Converting the machine to a different
type of power supply can lead to
longer program durations, resulting in
increased energy consumption.
The values declared on the label will
only be achieved if the machine re-
mains in the state in which it was de-
livered.
The data plates are located at the back
of the dishwasher and along the right
edge of the open door.
The wiring diagram is supplied with
the machine.
The conversion diagram is attached to
the electrical connection plinth panel.
Grounding connection
The ground lead must be connected to
the screw connection point (marked
with the ground symbol ) at the back
of the machine.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
GROUNDED

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 intake
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 items being
cleaned in the dishwasher, as well as
the machine itself.
If the chloride content of the water
exceeds 100mg/L, the risk of 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.
– A backflow preventer is not required;
the dishwasher corresponds with the
applicable standards for the protec-
tion of drinking water.
– The water pressure (flow pressure at
the connection point) must be be-
tween 50 and 1000kPa (0.5 and
10bar).
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 reducer valve must be fitted.
– A faucet with a
3
/
4
inch male thread
must be provided on site. The valve
should be easily accessible, since the
water supply should be shut off
whenever the dishwasher is not in
use.
– The DN10 inlet hose is approx.
59" (1.5m) long terminating in a
3
/
4
inch female thread. A 59" (1.5m)
long flexible metal extension hose
tested to 140bar (14,000kPa) is
available as an optional accessory if
required. On no account may the inlet
filter or the flow regulator be re-
moved.
Plumbing
87
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
88
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. 59“ (1.5m) flexible drain
hose with an internal diameter of
7/8” (22mm).
Hose clips are supplied with the dish-
washer.
– 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 13ft
(4m) and the delivery head no higher
than 39" (1m).
– The drainage system must be able to
handle a discharge rate of at least
16L/min.
Make sure that there are no kinks
in the hose, and that it is not crushed
or stretched.
Venting the drain
If the on-site drain connection is situ-
ated lower than the guide path for the
lower basket rollers in the open door,
the drainage system must be vented.
Otherwise, a siphoning effect during a
program can cause the machine to
empty itself of water.
To vent it:
Open the dishwasher door fully.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly up-
ward to remove it.
Cut off the top of the vent valve in the
wash chamber.
