with this information.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Correct use
This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and
similar residential environments.
This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.
It must only be used as specified in these operating instructions
for cleaning domestic dishes and cutlery. Any other usage is not
supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
Safety with children
Children must be kept away from the appliance unless they are
constantly supervised.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance. Keep small children away from the appliance at all
times to avoid the risk of injury. There is the risk that children may
lock themselves in the dishwasher.
If the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is
active keep young children away from the area in which the door
opens. Danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the open-
ing mechanism.
Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents can
cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is
open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. Seek
medical attention immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
Technical safety
Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be per-
formed by a Miele-authorized service technician. Work by unquali-
fied persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of dam-
age. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dish-
washer. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective grounding
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the elec-
trical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electri-
cian.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
grounding system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the electrical supply.
If the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using a 3-
pin plug with a grounding contact (it must not be hard-wired), the
electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is in-
stalled so that it can be disconnected from the electrical supply at
any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. There
is a danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher is pushed
up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a cooktop. The high
radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktop
could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason, it should not be
installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat,
such as heaters, etc.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage, and fre-
quency) matches the electrical supply before connecting the dish-
washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mecha-
nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
while the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model)
is active.
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
– The door springs must be adjusted equally 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.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply by a multi-
socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the re-
quired safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance must not be installed and operated in a non-sta-
tionary location (e.g., on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic
module may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only
be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
The water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must
be between 7.25 - 145 psi.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, turn off the electrical supply and contact Miele.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele-authorized service technician.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the electrical supply (turn it off and with-
draw the plug from the socket).
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele-au-
thorized service technician only.
Do not sit the dishwasher on the hose. The hose needs to be free
of kinks and able to move freely after installation. Do not place hose
or power cord next to a heat source e.g. hot water pipes. Do not ex-
pose hose or power cord to corrosive substances (e.g. chloride).
Damage of hose or power cord could cause electrical shock or water
damage.
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 intended purpose. It is not suitable for room lighting.
Replacement bulbs may only be fitted by a Miele-authorized techni-
cian or the Miele Technical Service.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
Proper installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the installation plan.
Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protec-
tive gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure
problem-free operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous counter which is secured
to adjacent cabinetry.
The door springs must be adjusted equally 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 may only be used with correctly adjusted door
springs.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
Proper use
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of 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.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip
over it and be injured by it.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dish-
washer to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.
Dishes can be very hot at the end of a program. Allow them to
cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-
washers. Do not use dishwashing liquid.
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may
cause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical re-
action (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you
have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling
the salt reservoir!
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or
gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair
the functioning of the water softener.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cut-
lery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with
the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place
knives and forks with the handles upwards.
Plastic items which 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 dish-
washer may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the “FlexiTimer/Delay Start” option (depending on
model), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent.
Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dis-
penser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.
Please observe the information given in “Technical data” regarding
the capacity of the dishwasher.
Accessories
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If spare parts or acces-
sories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become
invalid.
Disposal of your old dishwasher
Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot acciden-
tally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of
the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal
of the appliance.

Caring for the environment
20
Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is economical in the
consumption of water and energy.
For best results follow these tips:
– For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
– Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
– Select the Normal program (depend-
ing on model) for energy-saving dish-
washing. This program is the most ef-
ficient in terms of its combined en-
ergy and water consumption at clean-
ing normally soiled dishes.
– If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply, select the Energy
Saver program for washing a lightly to
moderately soiled load. Because the
water is not heated in this program,
dishes may still be slightly damper at
the end of this program than it would
be with other programs.
– 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.
Before using for the first time
21
Opening the door
This dishwasher has a motorized door
opener which is activated by knocking
on the door front (“Knock2Open func-
tion”).

the top third of the door front.
The door will open a little.
There are two dark grips inside the
door at the top.
Take hold of them and pull to release
the door lock.
The door locking pins will retract.
If the door is opened during operation,
all functions are automatically inter-
rupted.
The number of knocks required for
opening the door can be changed if
wished (see “Settings - Knock2Open”).
Water in the dishwasher may be
hot. Danger of scalding!
Only open the door during operation
if absolutely necessary and exercise
extreme caution when doing so.
Keep the area around the door
free of obstructions.
At the end of programs with a drying
phase (see “Program overview”), the
door will open automatically a little in
order to help the drying process.
This function can be deactivated if pre-
ferred (see “Settings menu, AutoOpen”).
Before using for the first time
22

Before using for the first time
24
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 - 16 gr/gal (10 - 15
°d), always program the dishwasher
to the higher value (16 gr/gal or 15 °d
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:
____________ gr/gal (°d)
The dishwasher is programmed at the
factory for a water hardness level of 1
gr/gal (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.
The message Set-up successfully com-
pleted will then appear in the display.
After confirming this message with OK,
the prompts and may appear.
Add salt and rinse aid if necessary
(see “Before using for the first time,
Dishwasher salt” and “Rinse aid”).
Confirm the messages with OK.
The display will switch to the main
menu.
The prompt to set up the dishwasher
for first use will not appear again after
you have run the first complete pro-
gram.
Before using for the first time
25
Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:
– Approx. 2 qt (2 l) of water
– Approx. 2 kg (4 lbs) of dishwasher
salt
– Domestic dishwasher detergent
– Rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers
Every dishwasher is tested at the fac-
tory. There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an in-
dication that it has been used previ-
ously.
Dishwasher salt
In order to achieve good cleaning re-
sults, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in a
build-up of calcium deposits on dishes
and in the dishwasher.
Water supplies with a hardness level
higher than 4 gr/gal (4 °d) needs to be
softened. This takes place automatically
in the integrated softener assembly. The
softener assembly in the dishwasher is
suitable for a water hardness level of up
to 73 gr/gal (70 °d).
The softener assembly requires dish-
washer salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(< 22 gr/gal or 21 °d), dishwasher salt is
not required if combination tablets are
being used (see “Operation - Deter-
gent”).
If the water in your area is very soft
and consistently lower than 5gr/gal
(5 °d - German scale) you do not
have to add dishwasher salt. The
prompt to add salt will be switched off
automatically if the softener assembly
has been programmed for this to hap-
pen.
Dishwasher detergent will dam-
age the softener assembly.
Do not fill the salt container with
dishwasher detergent (even liquid
detergent).
Use only special, coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen
salt.
Other types of salt may contain in-
soluble components which can dam-
age the softener assembly.
Before using for the first time
26
Filling the salt reservoir
Important! Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
2qt (2 l) of water to enable the salt to
dissolve.
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 cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.
Water 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. 2 qt (2 l)
of water (first use only).
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt
until the reservoir is full. The salt
reservoir holds approx. 4 lbs (2 kg) of
salt depending on the brand used.
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again firmly.
Immediately after filling the salt reser-
voir, run the QuickIntenseWash pro-
gram with the Short programming op-
tion selected and without any dishes
in the dishwasher to remove any
traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
Before using for the first time
27
Salt refill indicator
Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt for reactivation when Refill salt
appears in the display. If it appears
during a program, wait until the end
of the program.
Confirm with OK.
The message will go out.
Risk of corrosion!
Immediately after filling the salt
reservoir, run the QuickIntenseWash
program with the Short programming
option selected and without any
dishware in the dishwasher to re-
move 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. If this is
the case, confirm again with OK.
The salt refill indicator will be turned off
if you have programmed the dishwasher
for a water hardness below 5 gr/gal
(5°d).
If you only ever use Tab products in
your dishwasher, you can switch off
both refill indicators for salt and rinse
aid if you wish (see “Settings menu,
Switching off the refill indicators”).
If you switch to using detergent that
does not contain salt or rinse aid, it
is important to remember to add
dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to
switch the indicators back on.
Before using for the first time
28
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is needed to prevent spotting
on dishes and glassware. The rinse aid
is filled in the reservoir and the set
amount will be automatically dosed.
Filling the rinse aid reservoir with
detergent will damage the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
residential dishwashers into the
reservoir.
When using “Tab” detergents rinse
aid is not needed.
Adding rinse aid
Press the button on the lid of the

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.
Confirm with OK.

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.
Loading the dishwasher
31
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. If delicate glass-
ware is washed in the dishwasher,
ensure that only very low tempera-
tures are used (see program chart), or
a special glass-care program is used
(depending on model). This will re-
duce the risk of clouding.
– Purchase glassware which is dish-
washer-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware).
– Use detergents with glass protective
additives.

Detergent
Only use detergents formulated
for domestic dishwashers.
Active ingredients
Modern detergents contain various ac-
tive ingredients, the most important of
which are:
– Complexing agents to prevent calcifi-
cation.
– Alkalis to aid the removal of dried-on
soiling.
– Enzymes to break down starch and
loosen protein.
– Oxygen-based bleaching agents to
remove colored stains (e.g., tea, cof-
fee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents are mildly
alkaline and contain enzymes and oxy-
gen-based bleaching agents.
There are different types of detergent:
– Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the amount of load and level of soil-
ing.
– Tab detergents. These are suitable for
most levels of soiling.
You can also buy Tab products (see
“Options, DetergentAgent”, if applica-
ble).
In addition to detergent, these products
contain rinse aid and salt substitutes.
They are available as “3 in 1” or when
they also contain other components
such as glass and stainless steel pro-
tective additives and enhanced cleaning
power, as “5 in 1”, “7 in 1”, “All in 1”
etc.
Refer to the manufacturer's packaging
as to whether Tab products are suitable
for the water hardness level in your
area.
Please note that the cleaning and dry-
ing results of Tab detergents can vary
greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying re-
sults, use Miele dishwasher detergent
and add Miele salt and Miele rinse aid
separately.
Operation
48
Detergent dosage
Follow the dosage recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 1 1/4 - 2 table-
spoons (20 - 30 ml) detergent to
compartment II, depending on the
level of soiling. With very heavy soil-
ing you can also add a small amount
of detergent to compartment l.
Tabs may not dissolve completely
when the “QuickIntenseWash” pro-
gram (if available) is used.
Use only the recommended amount
of detergent. Continued use of too
much detergent may cause machine
damage.
Dishwasher detergents can
cause burning in the nose, mouth,
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing.
Avoid inhaling or swallowing dish-
washer detergent. Keep children
away from detergent. Keep detergent
out of the reach of children. Keep
children away
from the dishwasher when the door
is open. There could still be deter-
gent residues in the dishwasher. Only
add detergent just before starting the
program and lock the door with the
child lock (depending on model).
Operation

ing is properly closed after use to
avoid it getting damp and becoming
lumpy.
Dispensing aid
Compartment I holds a maximum of 2
teaspoons (10 ml),
Compartment II holds a maximum of 3
½ tablespoons (50 ml) of detergent.
The marks in compartment II indicate
the levels of approximately 1 ¼ and 2
tablespoons (20 and 30 ml) respec-
tively. The marks indicate the approxi-
mate fill level in ml when the door is
open in a horizontal position.

EcoTech Heat exchanger
This dishwasher is equipped with a heat
exchanger in which fresh water for the
rinse cycle is pre-heated in order to
save energy. The heat exchanger is re-
filled with fresh water towards the end
of each phase that uses fresh water and
is held there ready for the next part of
the program.
If you do not wish to use this function it
can be switched off (see “Settings -
EcoTech Heat exchanger”).
If water in the heat exchanger is not
used for several weeks, it will be auto-
matically drained and pumped away for
hygiene reasons. This process takes a
few minutes and will also be carried out
if the dishwasher is switched off or the
door is open.
The display will remain dark. The mes-
sage Empty system will appear in the
display when the button is pressed.
No other functions are available during
this process.
Automatic drainage cannot be inter-
rupted.
The heat exchanger can be manually
drained for transporting the appliance,
e.g. before moving house (see“Settings
- EcoTech Heat exchanger”).
The heat exchanger should only be
used in conjunction with a cold-fill
water supply.
This function should be switched off
if your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply.

With this option selected, your dish-
washer will start automatically at your
electricity supplier's cheapest rate
times.
To use this function, 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.

Cleaning and care
81
Check and clean your dishwasher
regularly. This will help avoid prob-
lems and faults.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolor all sur-
faces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
Generally, the wash cabinet is self
cleaning if the correct amount of deter-
gent is used.
If, however, there are limescale or
grease deposits in the wash cabinet,
these can be removed with a special
cleaning agent (available from Miele).
Follow the instructions on the packag-
ing.
If you mainly use low temperature pro-
grams (< 120°F/50 °C), there is a risk of
bacteria and unpleasant odors building
up in the wash cabinet. To prevent this
happening the dishwasher will automat-
ically increase the temperature in the fi-
nal rinse of the selected program after
several programs using low tempera-
tures have been run.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
Bacteria could build up on the door seal
and the sides of the dishwasher door as
these surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and are not accessed and

– Steel wool
– Steam cleaning appliances
Cleaning and care
83
Filter system
The filter system in the base of the
wash cabinet prevents food from being
redeposited on dishes. It also protects
the circulation pump from damage
caused by foreign objects.
This dishwasher must not be
used without all the filters in place!
Collection of coarse soil may cause the
filters to clog. The level of soiling and
time it takes before the filters need
cleaning will vary depending on use.
The message Check filters will appear in
the display after every 50 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 system.
Clean it if necessary.
Then confirm the message with OK.
The message will disappear.
The display will change to show the
program selection menu.
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
84
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
85
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray
arms should therefore be inspected and

Water connection
106
Water intake
Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
– The dishwasher may be connected to
a cold or hot water supply up to a
maximum of140°F/60°C.
For reduced energy consumption, we
recommend a cold water connection.
We recommend connection to a hot
water supply only if it is economical,
e.g. a solar-powered supply with re-
circulation line. When connected to a
hot water supply, all program phases
which would otherwise be carried out
with cold water will be carried out
with hot water
– The Energy Saver program (if available)
requires a hot water supply between
115°F/45°C (minimum) and
140°F/60°C (maximum).
The higher the water intake tempera-
ture, the better the cleaning and dry-
ing results.
– The inlet hose is approx.5ft long. A
5ft long flexible metal hose (pressure
tested to 2030psi) is available as an
optional accessory if required.
– A faucet with a 3/8" male thread
must be provided on site.
– This appliance is constructed to
comply with ANSI/ASSE 1001 // IEC/
EN/DIN 61770 // VDE 0700 Part 600,
and may be connected to a suitable
supply without an extra non-return
valve if national regulations permit.
– Water pressure: Must be between
4.5- 145psi (0.3- 10bar) If the water
pressure is lower than this, the fault
message Intake will appear in the dis-
play (see “Frequently asked ques-
tions”). If the water pressure is too
high, a pressure relief valve must be
fitted.
After connecting the dishwasher to
the water supply, check that the wa-
ter intake is airtight.
To avoid any damage to the ap-
pliance, the dishwasher must only be
operated when it is connected to a
fully vented plumbing system.
The intake hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way as
it contains electrical components.
Do not sit the dishwasher on the
hose. The hose needs to be free of
kinks and able to move freely after
installation. Do not place hose or
power cord next to a heat source
e.g. hot water pipes. Do not expose
hose or power cord to corrosive sub-
stances (e.g. chloride). Damage of
hose or power cord could cause
electrical shock or water damage.
Water connection
107
Drainage
– The machine comes equipped with a
built-in non-return valve on the dis-
charge side to prevent waste water
from flowing back into the dish-
washer.
– Take the drain line of the dishwasher
and attach the drain line as high as
possible under the counter rim of the
kitchen sink before connecting the
end to the drain. The loop will serve
to prevent a backed up drain or large
volume of water in the sink from si-
phoning back into the dishwasher.
– The dishwasher is supplied with ap-
prox. 5' 11" (1.5m) of flexible drain
hose with an internal diameter of
7/8" (22mm).
– The drain hose can be extended us-
ing extensions and adapters. The
drainage length must not be longer
than 13' 1 1/2" (4m) and the delivery
head must not exceed 3' 3 3/8" (1m).
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the
hose clip supplied (see installation di-
agram).
– 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
widths of hose. If the connector pro-
trudes too far into the drain hose, it
will need to be shortened. Otherwise
the drain hose may become blocked.
– The drain hose must not be short-
ened.
Make sure that there are no kinks
in the hose, and that it is not
squashed or stretched.
After servicing the appliance, ensure
that the drain does not leak.
Venting the drain
If the on-site drain connection is situ-
ated lower than the guide path for the
bottom basket rollers in the open door,
the drain must be vented. Otherwise a
siphoning effect during a program can
cause the appliance to empty itself of
water.
To vent: open the dishwasher door
fully.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly up-
wards to remove it.
Cut off the top of the vent valve in the
wash cabinet.
