Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door isopen. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. Seekmedical attention immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaleddetergent.


8

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 dishwash‐er. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen continuity is complete between it and an effective groundingsystem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement ispresent 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 inadequategrounding system (e.g. electric shock).

Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assur‐ed if it has been connected to the electrical supply.

The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supplyvia a suitable switched socket using a 3-pin plug with a groundingcontact (it must not be hard-wired). The electrical socket must beeasily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can bedisconnected from the electricity supply at any time.

There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Thereis a danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher is pushedup against a plug.

The dishwasher must not be installed under a cooktop. The highradiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktopcould damage the dishwasher. For the same reason, it should not beinstalled next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat,such as heaters, etc.


9

To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that theconnection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage, and frequen‐cy) matches the electrical supply before connecting the dishwasherto the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply until it hasbeen fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the doorsprings.

The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mecha‐nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of dangerwhile 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. Theyare correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when lefthalf open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that thedoor cannot fall open.

– The door locking pins automatically retract when the door opensat 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 offrost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronicmodule may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

The water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) mustbe between 4.35 - 145 psi.

A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher getsdamaged, turn off the electrical supply and contact Miele.


10

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele-authorized service technician.

Defective components should be replaced by Miele original partsonly. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safe‐ty of the appliance.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust 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 aspecial cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele-au‐thorized service technician only.


11

Proper installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliancewith the installation plan.

Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protectivegloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.

The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensureproblem-free operation.

In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwash‐ers must only be installed under a continuous counter which is se‐cured to adjacent cabinetry.

If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-un‐der ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversionkit. If you remove the existing toe-kick, you must replace it with a U-model plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused byprotruding metal parts.

The door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. Theyare correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when lefthalf open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that thedoor cannot fall open. The appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted doorsprings.


12

Proper use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!

Do not inhale or ingest powder detergent. Dishwasher detergentscontain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning inthe nose, mouth, and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Seekmedical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or in‐haled.

Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could tripover 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 tocool 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 maycause 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 youhave picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before fillingthe salt reservoir!

Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade orgritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impairthe functioning of the water softener.


13

In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cut‐lery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket withthe handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, placeknives 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 notbe 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 mod‐el), 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" regard‐ing the capacity of the dishwasher.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele parts. If spare parts or accesso‐ries from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may becomeinvalid.

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 ofthe door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposalof the appliance.

Energy-saving dishwashingThis dishwasher is economical in theuse of water and electricity. For best re‐sults follow these tips:

– For most economical dishwashing,make full use of the baskets withoutoverloading the dishwasher.

– Choose a program that best suits thedegree of soiling and the type ofdishes being washed.

– Select the ECO program (dependingon model) for energy-saving dish‐washing. This program is the most ef‐ficient in terms of its combined ener‐gy and water consumption at clean‐ing normally soiled dishware.

– If your dishwasher is connected to ahot water supply, select the EnergySaver program for washing a lightly tomoderately soiled load. Because thewater is not heated in this program,dishware may still be slightly damperat the end of this program than itwould be with other programs.

– Follow the detergent manufacturer'srecommendations on detergent dos‐age.

– When using powder or liquid deter‐gent, you can use 1/3 less detergent ifbaskets are only half full.

You can find additional tips on energy-saving dishwashing in "Miele's guideto dishwashing".

22

Before using the appliance forthe first time, you require:– Approx. 2 lbs (1 kg) of dishwasher

salt

– Domestic dishwasher detergent

– Rinse aid formulated for domesticdishwashers

Every dishwasher is tested at the fac‐tory. There will be residual water in theappliance from this test. It is not an in‐dication that it has been used previ‐ously.

Dishwasher saltIn order to achieve good cleaning re‐sults, the dishwasher needs to operatewith soft water. Hard water results in abuild-up of calcium deposits on dish‐ware and in the dishwasher. Water supplies with a hardness levelhigher than 4 gr/gal (4 °d) needs to besoftened. This takes place automatical‐ly in the integrated water softener. Thewater softener in the dishwasher is suit‐able for a water hardness level of up to73 gr/gal (70 °d).

The water softener requires dishwashersalt. Depending on the water hardness level(< 22 gr/gal or 21 °d), dishwasher salt isnot required if combination tablets arebeing used (see "Operation - Deter‐gent").

If the water in your area is very softand constantly lower than 5 gr/gal(5 °d) you do not have to add dish‐washer salt. The prompt to add saltwill be switched off automatically.

Dishwasher detergent will de‐stroy the water softener.Do not fill the salt container withdishwasher detergent (even liquiddetergent).

Use only special, coarse-graineddishwasher salt or other pure kitchensalt.Other types of salt may contain in‐soluble components which can dam‐age the water softener.


23

Filling the salt reservoir

Important! Before filling the salt res‐ervoir with dishwasher salt for thefirst time, you must fill it with approx.2 qt (2 l) of water to enable the salt todissolve.Once the dishwasher has been usedfor the first time, there is always suf‐ficient water in the reservoir.

Remove the lower basket and un‐screw the salt reservoir cap.

Water will run out of the reservoirwhen the cap is removed.It should therefore only be removedin 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 thesalt reservoir and carefully fill withsalt until the reservoir is full. The saltreservoir holds approx. 4 lbs (2 kg) ofsalt depending on the brand used.

Clean any excess salt from aroundthe reservoir opening and then screwthe cap on again firmly.

Immediately after filling the salt reser‐voir, run the Express program withthe Short program option selectedand without any dishware in the dish‐washer to remove any traces of saltfrom the cabinet.


24

Salt refill indicator

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwashersalt for reactivation when Refill saltappears in the display (If it appearsduring a program, wait until the endof the program).

Confirm with OK.

The message will go out.

Risk of corrosion! Immediately after filling the salt res‐ervoir, run the Express program withthe Short program option selectedand without any dishware in thedishwasher to remove any traces ofsalt from the cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,the refill indicator may still appear in thedisplay if the salt concentration has notyet reached the correct level. If this isthe case, confirm again with OK.

The salt refill indicator will be turned offif you have programmed the dishwash‐er for a water hardness below 5 gr/gal(5 °d).

If you only ever use Tab products inyour dishwasher, you can switch offboth refill indicators for salt and rinseaid if you wish (see "Settings menu -Switching off the refill indicators").

If you switch to using detergent thatdoes not contain salt or rinse aid, itis important to remember to adddishwasher salt and rinse aid and toswitch the indicators back on.


25

Rinse aidRinse aid is needed to prevent spottingon dishes and glassware. The rinse aidis filled in the reservoir and the setamount will be automatically dosed.

Filling the rinse aid reservoir withdetergent will damage the reservoir.Only pour rinse aid formulated forresidential dishwashers into the res‐ervoir.

When using "Tab" detergents rinseaid is not needed.

Adding rinse aid

Press the button on the lid of therinse aid reservoir in the direction ofthe arrow until the flap springs open.


26

Add rinse aid only until it is visible inthe opening.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.3.7 oz. (110 ml).

Close the flap firmly so that it clicksinto place. Otherwise water can enterthe rinse aid reservoir during a pro‐gram.

Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. Thisprevents over-foaming occurring dur‐ing the next program.

You can adjust the rinse aid dosagefor 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.

The message will go out.

If you only ever use Tab products inyour dishwasher, you can turn off bothrefill indicators for salt and rinse aid ifyou wish (see "Settings menu - Turn‐ing off the refill indicators").

Loading the dishwasher

27

TipsRemove coarse food residues from thedishware.

There is no need to rinse items underrunning water!

Do not wash items soiled withash, sand, wax, grease, or paint inthe dishwasher. These will damagethe dishwasher.

Dishware can be loaded anywhere inthe baskets, but the following notesshould be observed:

– Do not place dishes or cutlery insideother pieces. They will cover eachother.

– Load the dishware so that water canaccess all surfaces. This ensures thatthey get properly cleaned.

– Make sure that all items are securelypositioned.

– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,pans, etc. must be inverted in thebasket.

– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.,champagne glasses, should beplaced in the center of the basket toensure better water coverage.

– Concave items such as mugs orbowls should be placed at an angleso that the water can run off.

– The spray arms must not be blockedby items which are too tall or hangthrough the baskets. If in doubt, testfor free movement by manually rotat‐ing the spray arms.

– Make sure that small items cannotfall through the holders in the bas‐kets. Small items, e.g., lids, should there‐fore be placed in the cutlery tray orcutlery basket (depending on model).

Some foods may contain naturaldyes, e.g., carrots, tomatoes or to‐mato sauce. Plastic items in thedishwasher may discolor if largequantities of these foodstuffs findtheir way into the dishwasher on thedishware. The stability of plasticitems is not affected by this discolor‐ation.Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish‐washer may also cause plastic itemsto discolor.


28

Items not recommended for dish‐washing

– Wooden cutlery, cutting boards anddishware 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 thedishwasher may cause them to meltor lose shape.

– Copper, brass, tin and aluminumitems may discolor or become matt.

– Colors painted over a glaze may fadeafter a number of washes.

– Delicate glassware and glasswarecontaining lead crystal: clouding mayoccur over time.

Please note:

Silverware previously cleaned with asilver polish may still be damp or spot‐ted at the end of a program, where wa‐ter has not run off smoothly. It mayneed to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.

Silver which has been in contact withfoods containing sulphur can discolor.These include egg yolk, onions, mayon‐naise, mustard, fish, and marinades.

Aluminum components (e.g.,range hood grease filters) must notbe cleaned with a commercial or in‐dustrial cleaning agent.These may damage the material.

Tip: When purchasing new dishwareand cutlery, make sure they are dish‐washer-safe.

Glass care

– Clouding may occur on glasses afterfrequent washing. If delicate glass‐ware is washed in the dishwasher,ensure that only very low tempera‐tures are used (see program chart), ora 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 protectiveadditives (e.g., Miele CareCollectiontabs).

– Visit "http://www.mieleglass‐care.com/international/en/glasscare/english" for more information onglass care.
