Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data
~
on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if
~
correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested and where there is any
doubt the electrical system in the house should be checked by a
qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
~
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
~
on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
~
frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic
control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
~
with the diagram supplied.
Take care, both before and during installation of the
~
dishwasher, not to cut yourself on the metal parts. Danger
of injury. Wear protective gloves.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free
~
operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated
~
dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop
which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a
~
built-under ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate
conversion kit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it
with a U-model plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury
caused by protruding metal parts.
The door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They
~
are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left
open at 45°. It is important that the door is held in place by the
springs and cannot fall open.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
~
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher 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 inhaled.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily, as you could trip over
~
it.
Dishes can be very hot at the end of the programme.
~
Allow them to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle
before unloading.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
~
dishwasher to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic
~
dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may
~
cause damage, and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.
14

Warning and Safety instructions
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
~
This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher
~
detergent. This 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,
~
as other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model)
~
cutlery 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 etc. with the handles upwards.
Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
~
such as disposable plastic containers, or plastic cutlery and
crockery should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high
temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose
shape.
On models with "Delay start", make sure that the dispenser is dry
~
before adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog
if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thoroughly
dispersed.

Caring for our environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
The packaging consists of the following
materials:
Outer packaging:
– Corrugated cardboard made from up
to 100% recyclable material:

community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice.
– Polyproplylene (PP) strapping
Inner packaging:
– Chlorine and fluorine free expanded
polystyrene (EPS)
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.
– Base, lid frame and support battens

Caring for our environment
Energy saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity. You can make the most of
your appliance by following these tips:
^ If your water supply is suitable, this
dishwasher can be connected to a
hot water supply for further
economies. If the water is heated by
solar panels, for example, this would
be energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity we would recommend
connection to cold water.
^ For most economical dishwashing
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
^ Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
^ Select the ECO programme for
energy-saving dishwashing.
This programme is the most efficient
in terms of its combined energy and
water consumption at cleaning
normally soiled crockery.
^ Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
^ When using powder or liquid
detergent you can use 1/3 less
detergent if baskets are only half full.

Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than
– approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt*,
– domestic dishwasher detergent*,
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale),
you do not need to add dishwasher
salt. The water softener must,
however, still be programmed to
correspond to the water hardness
level in your area.
– rinse aid* formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
*See "Optional accessories"
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
,Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener. Make sure you
have picked up the correct packet
of dishwasher salt before filling the
salt reservoir!
There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been used
previously.
Filling the salt reservoir
,Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as
other salts may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in the build-up of calcium
deposits on crockery and in the
dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d – German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
this dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l
(70 °d - German scale).
The water softener requires dishwasher
salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(ß 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - German scale),
dishwasher salt is not required if
combination tablets are being used
(see "Detergent").

Rinse aid
Adding rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on
crockery during the drying phase and
helps crockery dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically.
,Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with powder or liquid
detergent will always cause serious
damage to the reservoir.
^ Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
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
containing 25% acid). This would
damage the dishwasher.
If you only ever use combination
products containing rinse aid in your
dishwasher, you do not need to add
rinse aid.

The "Replenish rinse aid" message will
go out.
If you only ever use combination
products containing salt and rinse
aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch the reminders off if you wish
(see "Settings menu - Replenish salt
and rinse aid reminders").
^ Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
110 ml.
^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water can enter
the rinse aid reservoir during a
programme.
If you switch to using detergent that
does not contain salt or rinse aid, it
is important to remember to
replenish the salt and rinse aid and
to switch the reminders back on.
^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring
during the next programme.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for best results (see Settings menu,
Rinse aid).

Note
– Wide based items should be placed
at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.
Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.
– The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets.
There is no need to rinse items under
running water.
If in doubt, test for free movement by
manually rotating the spray arms.
,Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease
or paint in the dishwasher.
These substances will damage the
dishwasher.
– Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the
baskets. Small items, e.g. lids,
should therefore be placed in the
cutlery tray or cutlery basket
(depending on model).
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in
the baskets, but the following notes
should be observed:
Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup. Plastic items in the
dishwasher may discolour if large
quantities of these foodstuffs find
their way into the appliance on the
crockery. The stability of plastic
items is not affected by this
discolouration.
– Do not place crockery and cutlery
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
– Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures
that they get properly cleaned.
– Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the
basket.
– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the centre of the basket to
ensure better water coverage.

Items not suitable for
dishwashers:
We recommend:
– When purchasing new crockery and
cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-proof.
– Wooden cutlery and crockery or
items with wooden parts: these may
discolour and fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof
and wooden handles may come
loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.
– If delicate glassware is washed in the
dishwasher ensure that only very low
temperatures are used (see
programme chart), or a special
glass-care programme is used
(depending on model). This will
reduce the risk of clouding.
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases
and decorative glassware are also
not suitable for dishwashers.
– If in doubt, wash delicate glassware
by hand.
– Plastic items which are not heat
resistant: the high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to
melt or lose shape.
Please note
Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or
spotted at the end of a programme,
where water has not run off smoothly. It
may need to be rubbed dry with a soft
cloth.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items may discolour or become matt.
– Colours painted over a glaze may
fade after a number of washes.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. Do not wash
delicate glassware, or glassware
containing lead crystal in a
dishwasher.
Silver which has been in contact with
foods containing sulphur can discolour.
These include egg yolk, onions,
mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish
brine and marinades.
,Aluminium components (e.g.
grease filters) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents. These
may damage the material, or in
extreme cases, cause a severe
chemical reaction. See section
"Adding detergent" for information
on suitable detergents.

Detergent
You can also buy combination
products. 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 protective additives and
enhanced cleaning power, as "5 in 1",
"7 in 1" , "All in 1", etc.
,Only use detergents formulated
for domestic dishwashers. Do not
use washing-up liquid.
Active ingredients
Modern detergents contain various
active ingredients, the most important
of which are:
Refer to the manufacturer's packaging
as to whether combination products are
suitable for the water hardness level in
your area.
– Phosphates to prevent calcification.
– Alkalis to aid removal of dried on
soiling.
Please note that the cleaning and
drying results of combination
– Enzymes to break down starch and
loosen protein.
detergents can vary greatly.
For optimum cleaning and drying
results, use Miele dishwasher
detergent and add Miele salt and
Miele rinse aid separately. See
"Optional accessories".
– Oxygen based bleaching agents to
remove coloured stains (e.g. tea,
coffee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents contain
phosphates and are mildly alkaline with
enzymes and oxygen based bleaching
agents. Phosphate free products are
rare.
Dispensing
^ Follow the dosage recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
Types of detergent:
^ Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml
detergent to compartment II,
depending on the level of soiling.
With very heavy soiling you can also
add a small amount of detergent to
compartment l (see "Programme
chart").
– Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the amount of load and level of
soiling.
– Tab detergents. These are suitable
for most levels of soiling.
^ Tabs may not dissolve completely
when the Quick wash 40°C
programme is used.
Failure to dispense the
recommended amount of detergent
may impair cleaning results.

the suds solution, preventing it
accessing the circulation system and
re-entering the cabinet through the
spray arms.
,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.

particles and rinse the filter well
under running water. Use a nylon
brush if necessary.
You can set the interval for this
message to appear to between 30
and 60 programme cycles (see
"Settings menu, Check filters").
,Make sure that when cleaning
the filters, no coarse soil falls into the
circulation system, causing a

Maintenance
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw
connection of the valve on the water
inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned
when dirty, otherwise insufficient water
flows into the wash cabinet.
,The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped in
water.
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large
amount of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the stopcock
and the water inlet hose threaded
union. This filter is available from the
Miele Spares Parts dept.
^ Carefully remove the seal.
^ Withdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and rinse clean under running
water.
^ Replace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
^ Reconnect the inlet hose to the
stopcock, making sure it goes on
correctly and is not cross-threaded.
Cleaning the filter:
^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply. Switch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.
^ Turn on the stopcock gradually to
test for leaks. If there is a leak, the
inlet hose might not be on securely,
or it may have been screwed on at an
angle. Unscrew and reconnect the
water inlet valve correctly.
^ Close the stopcock.
^ Unscrew the inlet hose.

If the water has not been pumped away
at the end of a programme the drain

blocked. They are, however, easy to
clean.
^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply. Switch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.
^ Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and
care - Checking the filters in the wash
cabinet").
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
^ Scoop the water out of the cabinet
^ Remove all foreign objects from the

supply
Providing your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele waterproof
anti-leak system will protect you from
water damage throughout its lifetime.
,Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
– The dishwasher may be connected
to a cold or hot water supply, max.
60 °C. We would only recommend
connection to a hot water supply if it
is economical, e.g. a solar powered
supply. When connected to a hot
water supply all programme stages
which would otherwise be carried out
with cold water will be carried out
with hot water.
– The Without heater programme (if
available) requires a hot water
supply of between 45 °C (minimum)
and 60 °C (maximum).
The higher the water intake
temperature, the better the cleaning
and drying results.
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
A 1.5 metre long flexible metal
extension hose, pressure tested to
14,000 kPa/ 140 bar, is available as
an optional accessory if required.
– A stopcock with a 3/4" male thread
must be provided on site.
– This appliance is constructed to
comply with IEC/EN/DIN 61770 //
VDE 0700 Section 600, and may be
connected to a suitable supply
without an extra non-return valve if
national regulations permit.

– The water pressure (flow pressure at
the take-off point) must be between
30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message Water inlet
fault will appear in the display (see
Problem solving guide).
,To avoid any damage to the
appliance, the dishwasher must only
be connected to a fully vented
plumbing system.
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be
fitted.
After connecting the dishwasher to
the water supply, check that all
plumbing connections are
watertight.
! The inlet hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way
as it contains electrical components
(see illustration).

Drainage
After connecting the dishwasher to
the drainage system, check that all
plumbing connections are
watertight.
– The appliance drainage system is
fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.
Venting the drainage system
– The dishwasher is supplied with
approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose
with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
If the on-site drain connection is
situated lower than the guide path for
the bottom basket rollers in the open
door, the drainage system must be
vented. Otherwise a siphoning effect
during a programme can cause the
appliance to empty itself of water.
– The drain hose can be extended
using a connection piece to attach a
further length of hose.
The drainage length must not be
longer than 4 m, and the delivery
head must not exceed 1 m.
To vent it:
^ Open the dishwasher door fully.
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the
hose clip supplied (see installation
diagram).
– 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
protrudes 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
shortened.
^ Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.
^ Cut off the top of the vent valve in the

kinks in the hose, and that it is not
