Miele dishwashers are available in  
3. “U“ dishwashers  
three versions:  
The built-under(“U“) dishwashers use  
the integrated (“i“) dishwashers as the  
basic machine.  
1. “Freestanding“ dishwashers  
“Freestanding“ dishwashers do not re-  
quire any special installation fixings in  
the kitchen.  
A decor frame can be added to take a  
panel for matching the dishwasher to  
the kitchen fronts.  
By using a decor set (GDU) the “i“ dish-  
washer can be converted into a “U“  
model dishwasher.  
GDU installation instructions are in-  
cluded in a separate installation leaflet  
supplied with the decor set  
2. Integrated (“i“) dishwashers  
“i“ dishwashers are specially designed  
for building under a continuous work-  
top.  
The control panel with its accessories  
is included with the “i“ dishwasher in a  
separate package for on-site fixing.  
The front is designed to be fitted with a  
base unit front to match the kitchen fur-  
niture.  
The dishwasher does not have a plinth  
facia. The plinth area can be covered  
either with facia to match your kitchen  
furniture if available, or another facia.  
The separate plinth facia can be fitted  
to match the height of adjacent plinths.  
The plinth return is freely adjustable.  
All notes on installation are described  
in the chapter on "Installation instruc-  
tions".

gerous.  
Appropriate usage  
This dishwasher is intended exclu-  
sively for cleaning domestic croc-  
kery and cutlery. Do not use for pur-  
poses other than those for which it was  
designed. Unauthorised use could  
prove dangerous.  
The manufacturer cannot be held re-  
sponsible for any damage caused by  
improper use or for uses other than  
those for which the appliance is in-  
tended.  
With the "Waterproof system", the  
plastic housing of the water inlet  
connection contains an electrical com-  
ponent. It must not be dipped in water.  
Do not let small children play with  
the dishwasher and its controls or  
operate it.  
There is a danger that children playing  
might shut themselves in the dish-  
washer. Please supervise its use by the  
elderly or infirm.  
The following notes are to help avoid  
personal injury  
To ensure stability integrated and  
built-under models must be in-  
stalled under a continuous worktop  
which has been firmly screwed to  
neighbouring units.  
Do not use solvents in the dish-  
washer. Danger of explosion!  
Avoid inhalation of powder deter-  
gents.  
For appliances with the heating ele-  
ment in the wash cabinet do not  
touch the element during or directly  
after the end of a programme, you  
could burn yourself.  
The electrical safety of this ap-  
pliance can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between  
the appliance and an effective earthing

Warning and safety instructions  
Dishwasher detergents contain irri-  
The following notes should help to  
avoid material damage  
tant or corrosive ingredients. They  
can cause burning in the mouth and  
throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.  
Keep children away from detergents  
and from the dishwasher when the  
door is open. There could be deter-  
gent residues in the appliance.  
The voltage and frequency shown  
on the data plate must match the  
mains supply in the house.  
Only use detergents formulated for  
domestic dishwashers. Do not use  
washing-up liquid.  
To avoid the danger of children  
coming into contact with the dish-  
washer detergent: Only put it into the  
detergent dispenser just before starting  
the programme, and then secure the  
door with the child safety lock.  
For models with "Delay Start" option  
make sure the detergent dispenser is  
dry before putting in detergent. Wipe  
dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if  
poured into a damp dispenser and may  
not be thoroughly dispensed. If the  
door is open at the end of a pro-  
gramme, children may come into con-  
tact with this residue.  
Do not use commercial or indus-  
trial detergents as these may dam-  
age material and there is a risk of  
severe chemical reaction.  
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-  
voir with dishwasher detergent al-  
ways leads to damage to the water sof-  
tener. Make sure that you have picked  
up the right packet of dishwasher salt  
before filling the salt reservoir.  
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid  
reservoir with powder or liquid  
detergent always leads to serious dam-  
age to the reservoir. Only use rinse aid  
formulated for domestic dishwashers.  
Water in the dishwasher must not  
be used as drinking water.  
Do not sit or lean on the opened  
door. This could cause the dish-  
washer to tip and be damaged.  
Appliances with a cutlery basket:  
items of cutlery are cleaned and  
dried more efficiently if placed in the  
basket handles downwards. You may  
however, prefer to place cutlery with  
sharp points with the handles upwards.  
If your dishwasher has the heating  
element visible in the base of the  
wash cabinet, as far as possible al-  
ways place plastic items in the top bas-  
ket, and ensure they do not drop  
through. The plastic could melt or lose  
its shape near the heating element.  
Always disconnect the appliance  
from the electrical supply for main-  
tenance work (switch off at wall socket  
and remove plug, screw out fuse in  
countries where this is applicable).

Disposal of your old machine  
When disposing of an old dish-  
washer first make it unusable. Dis-  
connect, cut off the cable and the plug  
from the cable.  
Make the door lock inoperative, so that  
children cannot accidentally shut them-  
selves in. Make appropriate arrange-  
ments for the safe disposal of the ap-  
pliance.  
– the dishwasher is correctly installed  
and plumbed in  
– the dishwasher is properly main-  
tained and parts are replaced where  
it can be seen that this is necessary  
– the stopcock has been turned off  
when the machine is not used for a  
longer period of time (e.g. during  
holidays).  
The manufacturer can not be held  
responsible for any damage caused  
by non-observance of the Warning  
and Safety instructions.

Make full use of the baskets without  
overloading the dishwasher for most  
economical washing.  
Energy saving washing  
These dishwashers are exceptionally ef-  
ficient in their use of water and elec-  
tricity. You can make the most of your  
appliance by following these tips:  
For small loads:  
Select the additional “Top Solo” func-  
tion (see chapter “Additional func-  
tions”)  
If your household water system is  
suitable, this dishwasher can be con-  
nected to a hot water supply, for fur-  
ther economies.  
However, if your water is heated by  
electricity we would still recommend  
connection to cold water.  
In the UNIVERSAL 55° programme,  
depending on the capacity of the  
dishwasher, when connected to hot  
water 55°C up to 0.7 kWh of electri-  
cal energy is saved. The hot water  
provides this energy, and the ap-  
Choose the programme to suit the  
type of crockery being washed and  
the degree of soiling.  
If baskets are only half full use the  
ECONOMY programme.  
Use the correct dosages of deter-  
gent.

prox. 0.13 l oil or 0.14 m natural gas  
needed to heat the water might be  
considerably more cost effective.  
Although all stages of the wash then  
take place with hot water, savings  
are made in cost, time and energy.

Before using for the first time  
Before using for the first time  
Load the crockery correctly  
Before using for the first time please  
note the following points:  
Load the crockery so that water will  
come into contact with all surfaces.  
This ensures that they will be properly  
cleaned.  
See the relevant chapters for detailed  
information on the points below.  
The spray arms must not be blocked  
by items which are too tall for the bas-  
ket or which hang through. If necessary  
manually rotate the spray arms to test.  
Setting the water softener  
The water softener unit must be set to  
deal with the water hardness level in  
your area.  
The salt reservoir must also first be  
filled with water and then with dish-  
washer salt. Never fill with dishwasher  
powder detergent.  
Add the correct amount of detergent  
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s  
recommendations on how much deter-  
gent to use. Not using enough will lead  
to poor wash results.  
The amount to dispense will depend on  
the type of detergent and programme  
selected.  
Filling the salt reservoir with deter-  
gent by mistake will always damage  
the water softener. Please check  
every time before refilling that the  
package contains dishwasher salt.  
Read the notes on dosage given in the  
programme chart.  
Add rinse aid  
Cleaning results may vary from brand  
to brand. If you are not satisfied with  
the results from one brand try another  
quality brand before contacting the  
Customer Service department for ad-  
vice.  
Only use rinse aid formulated for do-  
mestic dishwashers  
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reser-  
voir with powder or liquid detergent, or  
washing up liquid, will damage the  
reservoir.  
Do not use washing up liquid  
Only use detergent formulated for do-  
mestic dishwashers.

Before using for the first time  
It is important to choose the correct  
programme  
The NORMAL programme and the  
UNIVERSAL programmes are ideally  
suited to everyday loads. See the pro-  
gramme chart for descriptions of other  
programmes.  
When the dishwasher is run for the  
first time the programme selected  
will not start for approx. 7 minutes.  
During these 7 minutes the “Reacti-  
vate” (Regenerate) programme step  
is carried out and the “Reactivate”  
indicator light illuminates.  
The filter combination in the base of  
the wash cabinet and the spray arms  
must be kept clean.  
These should be regularly inspected  
and cleaned if necessary.

Filling the salt reservoir  
Please only use special coarse grained  
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as  
other salts may contain insoluble addi-  
tives which can impair the functioning  
of the softener.  
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of  
salt.  
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir  
with dishwasher detergent always  
leads to damage to the water sof-  
tener.  
Make sure that you have picked up  
the right packet of dishwasher salt  
before filling the salt reservoir.  
Before filling the salt reservoir for  
the first time:  
Fill the salt reservoir with approx.  
2 litres of water.  
Remove the bottom basket.  
Place the funnel (provided) in place.  
Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.  
Fill carefully with salt  
(As it is filled displaced water will run  
out).  
Clean salt from the screw threads of  
the socket.  
Screw the cap on firmly.  
Run the “PRE-WASH” programme  
immediately. This removes any  
traces of salt from the cabinet. This  
is not necessary if a “UNIVERSAL”  
or “UNIVERSAL PLUS” programme  
is run straight away.

Salt indicator  
Note  
The salt indicator light will come on if  
the water used is very soft, i.e. con-  
stantly at a level below 70 mg/l (4 °d).  
The salt reservoir is empty as no reacti-  
vation salt is needed with such soft  
water.  
The light is of no significance in this  
case.  
The "Salt" indicator light has also been  
designated for future programme up-  
dates, (see "After Sales Service").  
When the salt reservoir is empty the  
“Salt” indicator light comes on. The  
reservoir should be refilled with dish-  
washer salt for reactivation.  
After the reservoir has been refilled with  
salt the water softener is automatically  
reactivated either the next time the dish-  
washer is run or the time after that.  
The “Reactivate” indicator light illumi-  
nates during this process.

Adding rinse aid  
Adding rinse aid  
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that  
water does not cling and leave marks  
on crockery during the drying phase.  
Rinse aid is poured into the storage  
reservoir and the amount set is dis-  
pensed automatically.  
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.  
3
130 cm .  
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid  
reservoir with powder detergent (or  
liquid detergent) always causes  
serious damage to the reservoir.  
Only pour rinse aid formulated for  
domestic dishwashers into the reser-  
voir.  
Add rinse aid when the indicator  
light “Rinse aid” on the control panel  
comes on.  
Although it is possible to use house-  
hold vinegar with a max. 5% acid  
content, or liquid citric acid up to  
50% acid as an alternative, the re-  
sulting rinsing and drying quality  
will not be as good as when rinse  
aid is used.  
Do not use vinegar with a high acid  
content (e.g. vinegar essence 25%  
acid). This must not be used as its  
use would damage the dishwasher.  
Press the button (in the direction of  
the arrow) until the flap springs open.

Adding rinse aid  
Setting the dosage  
Add rinse aid only until it is visible on  
the surface of the filter in the open-  
ing.  
The dosage adjuster (see arrow) in the  
opening has settings from 1 to 6. It is  
set to 3 at the factory, as the recom-  
mended dose.This setting dispenses  
approx. 3 ml rinse aid per programme.  
Close the flap firmly.  
The flap must audibly engage, other-  
wise water could get into the rinse  
aid storage container during the pro-  
gramme.  
If there are flecks on glasses after  
drying use a higher setting.  
If smearing appears on crockery use  
a lower setting.

Some foodstuffs may contain natural  
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ket-  
chup. Plastic items in the dish-  
washer may discolour if large quan-  
tities of these foodstuffs find their  
way into the appliance on the croc-  
kery.  
Note  
Load the crockery so that water will  
come into contact with all surfaces.  
This ensures that they will be  
properly cleaned.  
Do not place crockery and cutlery in-  
side other pieces where they may be  
concealed.  
The stability of the plastic items is  
not affected by this discolouration.  
Hollow items e.g. cups, glasses etc.  
must be inverted in the basket.  
Deep based items should be placed  
at an angle such that water runs off  
them freely.  
Tall narrow hollow pieces should be  
placed in the centre of the basket,  
rather than in the corners, to ensure  
good coverage of water.  
Small pieces should be placed on the  
cup racks. Cups should be on the  
lower rack and bowls on the top rack  
so that water reaches all pieces.  
The spray arms must not be blocked  
by items which are too tall for the  
basket or which hang through.  
If necessary manually rotate the  
spray arms to test.

Bottom basket  
Larger and heavier items such as  
plates, serving platters, saucepans,  
bowls. Depending on the dishwasher  
model glasses may only be cleaned in  
the bottom basket if it is fitted with a  
special glassware insert or if there is a  
special bottom basket.  
Upper basket  
Small, lightweight, delicate items such  
as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert  
bowls, etc.  
Note for “Top Solo”  
Dishwashers with cutlery tray  
If a wash programme has been se-  
lected with the additional function “Top  
Solo”, all crockery must be loaded into  
the upper basket and cutlery tray. See  
the “Additional functions” chapter for  
further information.  
As the middle spray arm also directs  
water downwards, lightly soiled plates  
or platters can be placed in the bottom  
basket if there are large spaces be-  
tween them. Do not place dishes,  
bowls or other hollow containers in the  
bottom basket. See Section on “Addi-  
tional option - Top Solo”.

Cutlery  
Dishwashers with cutlery basket:  
Unsorted cutlery should be placed in  
the cutlery basket, handles facing  
downwards.  
Larger items like soup ladles, long  
knives and mixing spoons should be  
placed lying down across the front of

You may, however, prefer to place  
cutlery with sharp points with the  
handles upwards.  
Place small spoons in the individual  
slots to either side of the cutlery basket.

Dishwasher with cutlery tray  
(SC models):  
For best results cutlery should be  
grouped in zones, one for knives, one  
for forks, one for spoons etc. This  
makes unloading much easier.  
The cutlery tray insert is removable. It  
can be completely removed from its  
frame and carried to the cutlery drawer,  
or table where it can be easily un-  
loaded.  
Larger items like sauce ladles, cake  
slices, long knives and mixing spoons  
can be placed lengthwise in the trough  
in the centre of the tray.

Spoon heads should be placed in such  
a way that water runs off them freely.  
Ensure that spoon heads are in contact  
with at least one of the grips in the cut-  
lery tray. This way they cannot collect

Items not suitable for dishwashers  
Items not suitable for dishwashers  
– cutlery with wooden or horn handles,  
– wooden or plastic chopping boards,  
Please note  
– Silver- and aluminium items can suf-  
fer some discolouration.  
– glued items, e.g. old knives with  
handles which have been glued on,  
– Aluminium components (e.g. grease  
filter) must not be cleaned with caus-  
tic alkaline commercial or industrial  
detergents. This may damage ma-  
terial or, in extreme cases, cause  
severe chemical reaction.  
– hand-made craft items,  
– copper or tin items,  
– plastic items which are not heat resis-  
tant.  
– Silver, treated 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  
rubbing dry with a soft cloth. Silver,  
treated in a silver immersion dip is  
usually dry at the end of a pro-  
gramme but may discolour.  
– Colours painted over a glaze may  
fade after many washes.  
– Clouding may occur on glasses after  
frequent washing.  
We recommend:  
Wash delicate glassware in the  
ECONOMY 55 ° - programme, (or for  
models where the programme is  
available, GENTLE 45°C). This will re-  
duce the risk of clouding.  
There are no standard guidelines for  
washing glassware. When in doubt  
wash by hand.  
When purchasing new crockery, cut-  
lery and glassware make sure they  
are dishwasher safe.

Adding detergent  
Adding detergent  
Selecting detergent  
Only use detergents formulated for  
domestic dishwashers. Do not use  
washing up liquid.  
Recently almost all detergent manufac-  
turers have launched new detergents  
with a different composition, in addition  
to standard types.  
Should you experience difficulties when  
using these types of products, please  
contact Miele Customer and Technical  
Services Department, or the detergent  
manufacturer’s own Advisory Service.  
Please note  
Dishwasher detergents contain irri-  
tant or corrosive ingredients. They  
can cause burning in the mouth  
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit  
breathing. Keep children away from  
detergent and from the dishwasher  
when the door is open. There could  
still be detergent residues in the  
cabinet.  
These new dishwashing detergents, al-  
though welcome from an ecological  
point of view, react to a different degree  
from conventional products to water  
hardness. The drawbacks may only  
become apparent after a prolonged  
period of use.  
To avoid the danger of children com-  
ing into contact with the dishwasher  
detergent:  
only put it into the detergent dispen-  
ser just before starting the pro-  
gramme.  
The following problems may occur:  
– White deposits on crockery and  
inner cabinet.  
– Increased etching in the form of a  
bluish sheen on the surface of glass-  
ware.  
– Discolouration of silverware.  
Appearances of this nature are  
generally caused by the detergent  
used and are not attributable to any  
malfunctioning of the dishwasher it-  
self.

Adding detergent  
3. If results are still not to your satisfac-  
tion, you should revert back to using  
conventional detergents containing  
both chlorine and phosphate.  
Preventive measures:  
1. If you wish to continue using the new  
chlorine and phosphate-free pro-  
ducts, the following is recommended:  
– The instrucions given in this book for  
setting the water softener and dis-  
pensing detergent remain valid.  
Try out an environmentally friendly  
detergent of the same type from an-  
other manufacturer.  
Should you experience difficulties when  
using these types of products, please  
contact the detergent manufacturer’s  
own Advisory Service.  
2. If you are still dissatisfied with the re-  
sults, we recommend the use of  
chlorine-free but not phosphate-free  
detergent.  
– The instrucions given in this book for  
setting the water softener and dis-  
pensing detergent remain valid.

Adding detergent  
Dishwasher detergent must be added  
before each programme (except PRE-  
WASH).  
The amount to dispense will depend on  
the type of load and the programme se-  
lected.  
See the programme chart on the next  
pages for advice on amounts to dis-  
pense.  
– Pour powder or liquid detergent into  
the dispenser.  
– Dishwasher detergent tablets can be  
put at various places in the wash  
cabinet, (follow the manufacturer’s  
advice on the packet).  
If you buy detergent in bulk please en-  
sure that the container is always  
properly sealed after use. Otherwise  
the detergent can lose its effectiveness.  
Detergent manufacturers give the re-  
quired amount of detergent in ml (or g)  
on the packaging.  
For the NORMAL programme and the  
UNIVERSAL programmes use at least  
30 ml (or g) detergent unless advised  
to use more by the manufacturer, then  
use what they advise.

For information:  
Compartment I takes max. 25 ml, Com-  
partment II max. 80 ml. There are hori-  
zontal markers to assist with  
dispensing in compartment II, indicat-  
ing the level in ml.  
Press the opening catch on the con-  
tainer flap.  
The flap will spring open.  
The flap is always open at the end of a

Choosing a programme  
Choosing a programme  
Choose your programme according to  
Programme “Energy save”  
the type of load and how dirty it is.  
Use this programme for lightly to nor-  
mally soiled crockery.  
In most cases this will be the NORMAL  
programme or one of the UNIVERSAL  
programmes.  
For technical reasons a warm water  
intake of at least 45°C (temperature  
of the incoming water) is necessary  
for this programme.  
NORMAL 55°  
UNIVERSAL 55° or 65°  
Water is not heated up in this pro-  
gramme.  
Only approx. 0.20 kWh is used.  
These programmes are ideally suited to  
everyday loads, mixed loads with va-  
rying degrees of soiling.  
The drying result will not quite match  
that of a programme with a full drying  
cycle.  
For particular needs there are special  
programmes:  
The different programmes and their  
uses are described on the next two  
pages in the Programme chart.  
The higher the temperature of the water  
taken in (up to 60 ° max), the better the  
results obtained with this programme.  
You can also choose the additional  
function "Top Solo" for each programme.  
See the "Additional functions" chapter  
for further information.  
The door of the dishwasher can be  
left ajar at the end of this programme  
to dispel vapour/moisture more  
quickly.

End of a programme  
A programme has finished when no in-  
dicator lights are illuminated in the pro-  
gramme sequence display (20) and a  
"0" shows in the time display.  
The “Reactivation” process is car-  
ried out before a wash programme.  
It lasts several minutes.  
During this process only the “Reacti-  
vating” indicator light is on.  
The dishwasher can be opened and  
crockery unloaded. If it is left closed,  
the fan will continue for a few more  
minutes to diminish any remaining mois-  
ture.  
The hardness level of the inlet water  
dictates how often (after how many pro-  
grammes) water needs to be softened.  
For example with a water hardness de-  
gree of 380 mg/l (21 °d German scale)  
reactivation takes place after every 3  
programmes. With a water hardness de-  
gree of 140 mg/l (8 °d German scale)  
reactivation only takes place after 11  
programmes.  
This is recommended if the crockery is  
not required immediately. This process  
is extra to the wash programme.  
Switching off  
At the end of a programme:  
Press and release the "On-Off -  
switch (14).  
Time display (17)  
The time left for a programme to run  
shows in the display as the programme  
progresses.  
If the dishwasher is not to be used for a  
long period of time, e.g. whilst on holi-  
day:  
The time displayed in the time display  
may vary with the same programme.  
This is partly dependent on the tem-  
perature of the inlet water on each oc-  
casion.  
Turn off the stopcock.  
When the dishwasher is first switched  
on the display shows a time value for  
an inlet water temperature of approx.  
15 °C, (test temperature set in the fac-  
tory).  
With subsequent programmes the elec-  
tronic unit takes account of the new  
conditions and calculates the time re-  
quired. This figure is then displayed  
when the machine is next switched on.

Removing load  
A wash programme is interrupted as  
soon as the door is opened.  
Hot crockery will chip and break  
more easily.  
If the door is closed again the pro-  
gramme will continue from the position  
it was at when it was interrupted.  
After switching off let it cool down in  
the dishwasher until it is comfortable  
enough to handle, before you unload  
it.  
Warning!  
If you open the door fully after switch-  
ing off, the crockery will cool down  
much faster.  
Water in the dishwasher may be  
hot. Danger of scalding. Only  
open the door if absolutely necess-  
ary and exercise caution when  
doing so. Hold the door for about  
20 secs in the nearly closed posi-  
tion, before pushing it firmly shut.  
First unload the bottom basket, then  
the upper basket and then the cut-  
lery tray (if you have one) at the very  
end.  
This way you avoid water droplets  
from the upper basket or the cutlery  
tray falling on to crockery in the bot-  
tom basket.

dicator light next to the “Delay start”  
button illuminates.  
To avoid the danger of children com-  
ing into contact with the dishwasher  
detergent: Only put it into the deter-  
gent dispenser just before starting  
the programme, and then secure  
the door with the child safety lock.  
When using the "Delay Start" option  
make sure the detergent dispenser  
is dry before putting in detergent.

The Top Solo function can be selected  
with all wash programmes.  
Choose the programme  
With this function the majority of the  
water is directed only to the top and  
middle spray arms in the dishwasher.  
This means that the water jets are  
aimed only at items in the upper basket  
and cutlery tray (where fitted).  
The length of the chosen programme  
appears in the time display (17) in

Press the “Top Solo” button (18). The  
indicator light next to the button il-

This additional function is recom-  
mended when there is only a small  
amount of crockery and cutlery to  
clean which fits into the upper basket  
and the cutlery tray.  
The programme duration of the se-  
lected programme changes, (except  
for ENERGY SAVE and PRE-WASH).  
Press the “START” -button (18).  
The indicator light next to the  
“START” button goes out. The pro-  
gramme starts.  
N. B.:  
Lightly soiled plates or serving platters  
can still be placed in the bottom basket  
if there are large spaces between  
them. Do not place dishes or bowls or  
other hollow containers in the bottom  
basket.  
At the end of the programme the addi-  
tional option is automatically cancelled.  
In some instances adjusting the upper  
basket to the lowest position can make  
it easier to accommodate larger plates  
in this basket.  
By using the Top Solo function water,  
detergent and energy savings are also  
made.  
For example in the UNIVERSAL PLUS  
55° programme only 11 litres of water  
are used instead of 17 litres and only  
1.0 kWh of electricity instead of 1.2 kWh.  
Because smaller amounts of crockery  
are being washed the amount of deter-  
gent recommended by the manufac-  
turer can be reduced. Make sure, how-  
ever, when reducing the amount  
dispensed that the cleaning result is  
not affected.

Cleaning the drain pump and  
non-return valve  
If water has not been pumped away at  
the end of a programme the drain  
pump or the non-return valve might be  
blocked. They are, however, easy to  
clean. Watch out for glass splinters,  
which could cause injury.  
Take the filter combination out of the  
wash cabinet.  
Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out  
of the wash cabinet.  
Lift up the non-return valve and rinse  
under running water.  
Raise the locking clamp.  
The drain pump is situated under the  
non-return valve (see arrow).  
Before replacing the non-return valve  
check that the drain pump impeller  
turns with only slight resistance, and  
that there is no obstruction.  
Carefully replace the non-return  
valve and secure with the locking  
clamp.  
Replace and secure the filter combi-  
nation.

Cleaning the filter in the water  
To clean the filter  
inlet  
A filter is incorporated in the screw con-  
nection 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.  
Fitting an in-line water filter  
Disconnect the appliance from the  
mains supply (switch off at the main  
socket and pull out the plug, switch  
off the appropriate circuit at the fuse-  
box or withdraw the mains fuse).  
If the mains water contains a large num-  
ber of insoluble substances, we recom-  
mend fitting a large area filter in the  
connection between the stopcock and  
the water inlet hose threaded union.  
These filters can be obtained from the  
Miele Spares Department (Part No.:  
75577).  
Turn off the stopcock and unscrew  
the inlet hose.  
Carefully remove the rubber seal.  
Withdraw the filter using pointed  
pliers and clean by rinsing under run-  
ning water.  
Replace filter and seal. Make sure  
they are sitting correctly!  
Screw back into place on the water  
inlet, taking care that it goes back on  
straight.  
Turn on the stopcock gradually to  
test for leaks.  
If there is a leak:  
Screw the connections on more  
tightly.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the wash cabinet  
The facia panel  
In general the wash cabinet is self-  
cleaning, provided that the correct  
amount of dishwasher detergent is  
used.  
This should only be wiped with a  
damp cloth, or a suitable plastic  
cleaner.  
Do not use an abrasive cleaner, a  
glass cleaner or an all-purpose  
cleaner. Because of their chemical  
composition they could cause  
serious damage to plastic surfaces.  
If however ther are time scale or grease  
deposits these can be removed with a  
proprietary dishwasher cleaner.  
Cleaning the door and the  
door seal  
The front of the dishwasher  
Wipe the door seal regularly with a  
damp cloth and remove any par-  
ticles of food.  
Laminate fronts should be cleaned  
using a suitable proprietary cleaning  
agent.  
Wipe away any residue of food and  
drink spillage from the sides of the  
dishwasher door. These are not part  
of the wash cabinet and are not  
reached by water from the spray  
arms.  
Fronts made from wood should only  
be cleaned using a damp cloth or  
leather and dried with a soft cloth.  
Do not use any cleaner containing  
ammonia or thinners.

The wash cycle finishes too early  
and three horizontal lines “---” ap-  
pear in the time display.  
– The middle spray arm is obstructed  
by crockery.  
Turn the programme selector to  
STOP.  
Open the dishwasher door and

switch.  
Turn the programme selector to  
STOP.  
Select the programme again and  
start.  
Switch off the dishwasher with the  
ON/OFF switch.  
If the lines are still visible in the display  
there is a technical fault.  
The “Water inlet” check light comes  
on during the “Energy save” pro-  
gramme.  
Please call the MIELE Service De-  
partment.  
For technical reasons the “Energy  
save” programme requires a warm  
water intake temperature of at least  
45 °C (temperature of the inflowing  
water) – see also “Programme selec-  
tion”.  
In certain circumstances you can still  
wash with the "Energy save" pro-  
gramme (using hot water) and "PRE-  
WASH". As the programme progresses  
the time left is displayed again in the  
time display.  
If the inflowing water does not reach  
the necessary temperature the indica-  
tor light “Water inlet” illuminates.  
One reason for this may be that the do-  
mestic hot water system has been over-  
used for a short period of time.  
This can, in certain instances lead to  
the crockery not being properly  
cleaned.  
If necessary repeat the programme.  
If the “Water inlet” indicator light  
comes on again select a different  
programme.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers  
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers  
The “i” model dishwashers are spe-  
cially designed for building under a  
continuous worktop.  
Dimensions:  
The front can be fitted with a base unit  
front to match the kitchen furniture.  
By using a decor set GDU “i” model  
dishwashers can be converted into a  
built-under “U”model dishwasher.  
The decor set is supplied with a separ-  
ate installation instruction leaflet.  
To ensure stability, these dish-  
washers must only be installed  
under a continuous worktop which  
must be securely screwed to neigh-  
bouring units.  
1) with 870 mm machine height  
2) with 820 mm machine height  
Range of adjustment approx. 5 cm (82-  
87 cm total height).  
Extended machine feet are available at  
extra cost, (special accessory). These  
can be used for a machine height of 87  
to 92 cm.

A stainless steel “niro” coverplate is  
supplied with the machine to protect  
the underside of the worktop against  
steam rising from the machine.  
The coverplate is supplied as standard  
with "i" models.  
Squeeze sealant from the tube sup-  
plied binto the angle of the “niro”  
plate.  
Align the "niro" plate cto the front  
edge of the worktop - see illustration -  
and then use tacks supplied to nail  
the “niro” plate to the underside of  
the worktop.  
On worktops with wood or laminate  
edging, the tacks should be nailed  
through the holes further back from  
the edge.

2.Building the dishwasher into  
a niche  
Connection to water and drainage  
should be sited beside and not behind  
the dishwasher for accessibility. Con-  
nections are usually made in the area  
under the sink. Many kitchen unit manu-  
facturers provide a cutout in the base  
of the sink base unit for the hoses to be  
fed through.  
If the base unit has no opening and if  
there is not an opening through the plinth  
area for connections, one must be cut.  
Suggested dimensions: 60 x 110 mm.  
For some installation steps it is  
necessary to pull the dishwasher  
slightly out of the recess. Therefore  
do not make these connections until  
last.

The slides make installation of the dish-  
washer easier and protect the floor  
from possible damage when moving  
the appliance into and out of the re-  
cess. They are also used for adjusting  
the height of the rear screw feet.  
Adjust the height manually before in-  
stalling the dishwasher. Leave a  
space of approx. 5 mm below the  
worktop to allow the dishwasher to  
be pushed back easily into the re-  
cess. Make sure that the dishwasher  
stands level.  
Push the dishwasher right back into  
the recess. Ensure that drain hose,  
inlet hose and electric cable are laid  
to reach the connection point without  
any kinks.  
Press the slides - with the ratchet at  
the rear - under the screw feet.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers  
Adjust the rear screw feet to the re-  
quired height.  
Adjust the front screw feet manually  
or with a flat blade screwdriver.  
Higher = turn clockwise  
It is easier to adjust the screw feet if the  
weight of the dishwasher is not bearing  
down on them.  
Lower = turn anti-clockwise  
Several turns are needed to adjust 1 mm  
in height. A battery-powered screw-  
driver could be used.  
If possible tip the machine slightly.  
For fine adjustments it may be  
necessary to press with a screw-  
driver against the cogs of the feet.  
Screw the feet out until the dishwasher  
is right up against the underside of the  
worktop, to which it will be screwed  
later. Ensure that the dishwasher  
stands level.

5.Fitting the (matching) door  
front  
The door of a kitchen base unit (without  
the drawer facia or fittings) is normally  
used for the door front.  
The door front is fixed to the machine  
door outer panel using a fixing bracket  
which has to be pre-mounted on the  
rear of the door front.  
Fixing brackets are already fitted on to  
the stainless steel door front. This front  
cannot be shortened.  
Door fronts differ in weight and it is  
therefore essential that the door  
springs are adjusted (see Step 6)  
after the door front has been fitted.  
Calculate dimension “X” and make a  
note of it before attaching the fixing  
bracket.  
Dimension “X” is the dimension shown  
on the illustration between the drill hole  
in the outer door panel and the lower  
edge of the neighbouring unit door(s).

Lay the bracket on the rear side of  
the door front so that the marks in  
A
the middle of the fixing bracket align  
with the vertical guide line, and the  
lower fixing holes of the bracket are  
centrally positioned in the horizontal  
guide line (see illustration). Use  
strips of adhesive tape to hold the  
bracket in this position.  
Drill the fixing holes to a depth of  
about 10 mm, using a 2.5 mm drill bit.  
Lay the door front with the rear side  
facing upwards.  
Secure the bracket to the door using  
the screws supplied.  
Using a pencil draw a vertical line  
down the middle of the door to use  
as a guide line.  
Double check for correct alignment  
before building into the recess.  
Draw a horizontal guide line across  
the door, at a distance from the lower  
edge of the front panel equalling the  
previously measured dimension “X” .

6.Adjusting the door springs  
7.Level and secure the  
dishwasher  
The door springs are correctly adjusted  
when a half opened door (approx. 45°  
opening angle) remains in that position  
when released.  
To ensure the stability of the dish-  
washer it must be screwed to the con-  
tinuous worktop after it has been posi-  
tioned.  
If the door drops down, then the door  
springs need to be tightened.  
If, however, it rises up, then the springs  
need to be released.  
The adjusting screw is located in the  
upper front strip at the left hand side of  
the dishwasher.  
Half open the dishwasher door.  
Screw one of the 4 x 15 screws (sup-  
plied) from below into the holes in  
the right and left hand side of the  
upper strip.  
Do not lift the dishwasher to do this.  
If necessary, screw the feet out fur-  
ther.  
Open the dishwasher door.  
Adjust the door spring until it is cor-  
rectly balanced:  
– turn clockwise = tighten  
– turn anti-clockwise = loosen.  
Push the dishwasher back into its  
recess.

8.Matching the plinth facia of a  
kitchen run  
The plinth area of the dishwasher is nor-  
mally covered with a plinth run match-  
ing the kitchen furniture.  
Place the plinth facia directly in front  
of the kitchen run but do not attach.  
Carefully open the dishwasher door.  
If the door front comes into contact with  
the kitchen plinth when the dishwasher  
door is opened the plinth facia in the  
area around the dishwasher door  
needs to be cut to size.  
To do this mark where the edge of  
the door front comes into contact  
with the plinth facia.  
Cut the plinth facia to size along this  
line.  
Place the plinth facia in front of the  
kitchen run again and check whether  
the dishwasher door can be opened  
fully.  
If it cannot, trim the plinth facia to the  
correct size.  
The height (H) of the plinth facia around  
the dishwasher depends on the plinth  
return (R) and how much the door front  
extends below the dishwasher door (P).  
Secure the plinth facia to the ad-  
jacent kitchen units.  
If your kitchen does not have a plinth  
run matching the kitchen furniture, the  
plinth area can be covered with a sep-  
arate plinth kit, available at extra cost.

Important  
Please follow the installation instruc-  
tions carefully.  
The wires in the mains lead are col-  
oured in accordance with the following  
code:  
This dishwasher is supplied ready  
for connection to an a.c. single  
phase supply, (230 - 240 V 50 Hz for  
the UK and Australia). It is supplied  
with a mains cable and moulded  
plug.

Non rewireable plugs BS 1363  
If this machine or appliance is fitted  
with a non-rewireable plug, the follow-  
ing information applies:  
If the socket outlets are not suitable for  
the plug supplied with this product, it  
must be cut off and an appropriate  
plug fitted.  
The plug cut from the flexible cord  
should be disposed of and on no ac-  
count be inserted into a socket else-  
where in the house (electric shock ha-  
zard).  
The fuse cover must be refitted when  
changing the fuse, and if the fuse  
cover is lost, the plug must not be used  
until a suitable replacement is ob-  
tained. The colour of the correct re-  
placement cover is that of the coloured  
insert in the base of the plug, or the col-  
our that is embossed in words in the  
base of the plug (as applicable to the  
design of plug fitted).  
The correct fuse rating of the replace-  
ment fuses that are ASTA approved to  
BS 1362 should be fitted. Replace-  
ment fuse covers may be purchased  
from your local electrical suppliers, or  
Miele Service Agent.

Connection to the water inlet  
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.  
When connected to a hot water supply  
all programme stages which would  
otherwise be carried out with cold  
water (pre-wash and interim rinse) as  
well as the PRE-WASH will be carried  
out with hot water.  
The programme “Energy save” (with-  
out heater) needs connection to a  
hot water supply with a temperature  
of at least 45°C.  
Connect the inlet hose with the  
“Waterproof-System” preferably verti-  
cally so that the hose exits from the  
bottom of the “Waterproof valve” box.  
The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long;  
a longer hose (4 m) may be bought  
from the Miele Spare Parts Dept.  
A stopcock with a 3/4" male thread  
must be provided on site.  
The dishwasher is constructed to  
comply with DVGW regulations, and  
may be connected to a suitable sup-  
ply without an extra non-return valve  
if national regulations allow this.  
The water pressure (flow rate at the  
take-off point) must be between 0.3  
and 10 bar pressure.  
If the water pressure is too low the  
“Water inlet light” can light up, (see  
“Problem solving guide”).  
If this is not possible, it can be in-  
stalled horizontally, but it is essen-  
tial that the main body of the “Water-  
proof valve” box is above the hose  
exit (see illustration). The ’lightning’  
power symbol should be above the  
water flow ’arrow’.  
If the water pressure is too high, a  
pressure reducer valve must be fitted.  
The water inlet hose must not be  
shortened or damaged in any way,  
(see following illustration).

There must be a distance of at  
least 20 cm between the floor and  
the bottom of the “Waterproof” unit  
housing, for either vertical or hori-  
zontal installation.  
Lay the hose in such a way that it  
does not rise above the bottom of  
the “Waterproof” unit casing (see il-  
lustration).  
If the stopcock is situated in the  
worktop, a special angle connector  
can be ordered from the Miele Spare  
Parts Dept. (Part No. 2078910).

Venting the drainage system  
Drainage  
Open the dishwasher door fully.  
The machine drainage system is  
fitted with a non-return valve, which  
prevents dirty water from flowing  
back into the machine via the drain  
hose.  
If the site drain connection is situated  
lower than the guide path for the bot-  
tom basket rollers in the open door the  
drainage system must be vented.  
Otherwise a siphoning effect during a  
programme can cause the machine to  
empty itself of water.  
The dishwasher is supplied with ap-  
prox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose  
with an internal diameter of 22 mm.  
To vent:  
The drain hose can be extended  
using a connection piece and an  
extra drain hose, (up to max. 4  
metres).  
If the hose is to be directly fitted to  
the drainage outlet on site, use the  
hose clip supplied.  
The connection socket on the dish-  
washer can be turned. The hose can  
thus be laid to the right or left without  
needing to loosen the hose clip.  
The drain system must not exceed  
4 metres. The drain pump has a  
maximum delivery head of 1 metre.  
Cut off the top of the vent valve in  
the wash cabinet.  
The drain hose must not be short-  
ened.
