Warning and Safety instructions  
Safety with children  
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.  
Older children may only use the dishwasher if its operation has  
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely.  
They must be able to understand and recognise the possible  
dangers of misuse.  
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the  
supervision of an adult.  
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.  
Keep small children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the  
risk of injury. Ensure that they do not play with the appliance. There  
is a risk that children may lock themselves in the dishwasher.  
If the automatic door opening mechanism is active (depending on  
the model), keep young children away from the area in which the  
door opens. There is a danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault  
with the opening mechanism.  
Danger of suffocation! While playing, children may become  
entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it  
over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material  
away from children.  
Keep detergents and other household cleaning agents out of  
reach of children. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline  
and contain irritants and corrosive ingredients. They can be  
extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause severe skin burns  
and eye damage. They can cause burning in the mouth, nose and  
throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.  
Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.  
There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet or dispenser.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Technical safety  
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause  
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and  
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.  
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before  
using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it  
for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.  
The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing  
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is  
present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a  
qualified electrician.  
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate  
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).  
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-  
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,  
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that  
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national  
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery  
systems.  
The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in  
this Miele product must also be assured in their function and  
operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous  
operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.  
The dishwasher must only be connected to the electricity supply  
via a suitable switched socket using a 3-pole plug with protective  
contact (it must not be hardwired). The socket must be easily  
accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be  
disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.  
There must be no electrical sockets concealed behind the  
dishwasher because the building-in niche may be too small, creating  
a risk of overheating if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against  
the plug (fire hazard).  
8
Warning and Safety instructions  
The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The  
high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the  
dishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be  
installed next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat,  
such as heaters etc.  
Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate  
(fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the electricity supply to  
prevent damage to the dishwasher. Compare these before  
connecting the appliance to the mains electricity. If in any doubt,  
consult a qualified electrician.  
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity 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  
mechanism is working correctly, as otherwise there could be a  
danger when the automatic door opening is activated (depending on  
the model).  
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:  
- The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are  
correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half  
open (approx. 45° opening angle). The door must not fall open on  
its own beyond this point.  
- The door locking pin retracts automatically after the drying phase  
when the door is opened.  
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the  
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not  
connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply using a multi-socket  
adapter or an extension cord.  
The dishwasher must not be installed and operated in mobile  
locations (e.g. on a ship).  
9
Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of  
frost. Frozen hoses can break or burst. The reliability of the electronic  
control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.  
To avoid any damage to the dishwasher, it must only be operated  
when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.  
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical  
valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.  
There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the hose,  
even if it is too long.  
The integrated water protection system offers protection from  
water damage, provided the following conditions are met:  
- Installation has been carried out correctly.  
- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced  
when they are visibly damaged.  
- The tap is turned off during longer absences from the home (e.g.  
whilst on holiday).  
The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is  
switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to  
the electricity supply.  
The water connection pressure needs to be between 50 and  
1,000 kPa.  
A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher  
gets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and contact  
Miele customer service.  
The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is  
not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.  
Defective components must be replaced with original parts. If  
original Miele parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full  
compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid.  
10  
Warning and Safety instructions  
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher  
must be disconnected from the electricity supply (switch it off and  
withdraw the plug from the socket).  
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be  
replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type  
(available Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be  
carried out by a Miele authorised technician or by Miele in order to  
avoid a hazard.  
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or  
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and  
its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which  
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered  
by the warranty.  
Correct installation  
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in accordance  
with the installation instructions and the supplied installation plan.  
Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.  
Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/cutting. Wear  
protective gloves.  
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure  
trouble-free operation.  
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers  
must only be installed under a continuous countertop which is  
secured to adjacent cabinetry.  
The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additional  
safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance  
in a tall unit, please use the "Tall unit installation kit" and observe the  
installation plan provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit  
tipping over.  
11  
Warning and Safety instructions  
The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are  
correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half  
open (approx. 45° opening angle). The door must not fall open on its  
own beyond this point.  
The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door  
springs.  
If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact Miele customer  
service.  
The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the  
factory fitted door springs is 10–12 kg (depending on model).  
Correct use  
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. There is a danger of  
explosion.  
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher  
detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive  
ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can  
cause burning in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat, or inhibit  
breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Do not inhale  
powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek  
medical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed or  
inhaled. Contact a Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or the  
National Poisons Centre (NZ).  
Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could  
injure yourself on the open door or trip over it.  
Do not sit, stand, or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could  
tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.  
Dishes may be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow the  
dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before  
unloading them.  
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic  
dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.  
12  
Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may  
cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive  
chemical reaction (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 rinse aid reservoir.  
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.  
Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.  
Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure  
evaporated salts for reactivation. Other types of salt (such as  
cooking salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain  
insoluble components which can impair the functioning of the water  
softener.  
In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives  
and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket  
for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles  
downwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle  
down in the cutlery basket will come out cleaner and drier.  
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  
dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.  
If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent  
compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary.  
The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is  
not dry, and it may not be fully rinsed out.  
Please observe the information listed under Technical data  
regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.  
Accessories and spare parts  
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,  
warranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims will  
be invalidated.  
13  
Warning and Safety instructions  
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a  
minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the  
discontinuation of your dishwasher.  
Transport  
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before  
using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage.  
Never use a damaged dishwasher.  
Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no  
water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.  
If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely  
fasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses and mains connection  
cables.  
Disposal of your old dishwasher  
Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot  
accidentally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking  
bracket of the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the  
disposal of the appliance.

Using for the first time  
Closing the door  
Push the baskets right in.  
Every dishwasher is tested at the  
factory. There will be residual water in  
the machine from this test. It is not an  
indication that the dishwasher has  
been used previously.  
Then raise the door up and push until  
it clicks into position.  
Risk of crushing due to the door  
closing.  
Opening the door  
When closing the door, you are at  
risk of jamming your fingers in it.  
Do not put your hand inside the door  
as it is closing.  
Activating the safety lock  
Use the safety lock to prevent children  
opening the dishwasher door. The door  
can then only be opened by using a lot  
of force.  
To open the door, reach under the  
door grip and pull.  
If the door is opened during operation,  
all functions are automatically  
interrupted.  
Risk of scalding due to hot  
water.  
During operation, water in the  
dishwasher may be very hot.  
Only open the door if absolutely  
necessary and exercise extreme  
caution when doing so.  
To lock the door, push the slide  
underneath the door grip to the right.  
To unlock the door, push the slide to

Using for the first time  
Water softener  
If the water hardness in your area is  
available in a unit other than °dH, you  
can convert the values as follows:  
1 °dH = 0.18 mmol/l = 1.78°fH  
In order to achieve good cleaning  
results, the dishwasher needs to  
operate with soft (low limescale) water.  
Hard water results in the build-up of  
calcium deposits on crockery and in the  
appliance.  
Water with a hardness level higher than  
0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – German scale) must  
be softened. This occurs automatically  
in the integrated water softener. The  
water softener is suitable for a water  
hardness level of up to 12.5 mmol/l  
(70 °dH - German scale).  
The dishwasher is programmed at the  
factory for a water hardness level of  
0.36 mmol/l (2 °dH - German scale).  
If your water hardness level  
corresponds to this setting, you can  
skip to the next section.  
However, if you have a different water  
hardness level, you must adjust the  
water softener to match your water  
hardness.  
In order to be reactivated, the water  
softener requires dishwasher salt.  
Depending on the water hardness level  
(< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH – German  
scale), dishwasher salt is not required if  
combination detergents are being used  
(see “Detergents - Types of  
detergents”).  
- The dishwasher needs to be  
programmed to the correct water  
hardness 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 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 -  
15 °dH - German scale), always  
programme the dishwasher to the  
higher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °dH in  
this example).

Dishwasher detergent will damage  
the water softener.  
Do not fill the salt reservoir with  
powder or liquid detergent.  
In order to be reactivated, the water  
softener requires dishwasher salt.  
Depending on the water hardness level  
(< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH – German

evaporated salts for reactivation.  
detergents”).  
If the water in your area is very soft  
and constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l  
(5 °dH - German scale) you do not  
need to add dishwasher salt. The salt  
refill indicator will automatically switch  
off after the water hardness has been  
set accordingly (see “Using for the first  
time – Displaying and setting the water  
hardness”).  
If you only ever use combination  
detergent products containing salt and  
rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can  
switch off both refill reminders if you  
wish (see “Programme options –  
Switching off the refill reminders”).  
Please make sure that if you stop  
using combination detergents, you  
refill the dishwasher salt and rinse  
aid. Switch the refill reminders back  
on if required.  
23  
 
Using for the first time  
Filling the salt reservoir  
Before filling the salt reservoir for the  
first time, you must fill it with approx.  
2 litres of water to enable the salt to  
dissolve.  
Once the dishwasher has been used,  
there is always sufficient water in the  
salt reservoir.  
Remove the lower basket from the  
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt  
reservoir cap.  
Place the funnel provided on the salt  
reservoir and carefully fill with  
dishwasher salt until the reservoir is  
full. The salt reservoir holds up to  
2 kg of salt, depending on the type of  
salt used.  
Risk of corrosion due to saline  
solution.  
Water or saline solution will run out  
of the reservoir when the cap is  
opened. Saline solution that runs out  
can cause corrosion in the wash  
cabinet and to the dishwasher load.  
The salt reservoir should therefore  
only be opened to replenish the salt.  
Clean off salt residues from around  
the salt reservoir opening. Next,  
screw the salt reservoir cap on again  
firmly.  
Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2 l  
of water (first use only).  
Immediately after filling the salt  
container, run the 65 °C  
QuickPowerWash programme with  
the Express option and without  
any load in the dishwasher to  
dissolve and remove any traces of  
salt from the wash cabinet.  
24  
 
Using for the first time  
Replenishing salt  
After the salt reservoir has been filled,  
the refill reminder may still appear in the  
display if the salt concentration has not  
yet reached the correct level. It will go  
out once the salt concentration has  
reached the correct level.  
When the Salt indicator lights up,  
wait until the end of the programme  
and then refill the salt reservoir.  
Risk of corrosion due to saline  
solution.  
Saline solution that runs out can  
cause corrosion in the wash cabinet  
and to the dishwasher load.  
The salt refill indicator is deactivated if  
the dishwasher is set to a water  
hardness below 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH -  
German scale).  
Each time you have opened the salt  
reservoir cap, immediately run the  
65 °C QuickPowerWash  
programme with the Express  
option and without any dishes. This  
will dissolve and remove any traces  
of salt from the wash cabinet.  
25  
 
Using for the first time  
Rinse aid  
If you only ever use combination  
detergent products in your  
dishwasher, you do not need to fill  
the rinse aid reservoir.  
However, the best rinsing and drying  
results will be achieved by using a  
detergent together with separate  
dishwasher salt and rinse aid.  
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water  
does not cling to and leave marks on  
crockery during the drying phase, and it  
helps crockery dry faster after it has  
been washed.  
Rinse aid is poured into the storage  
reservoir and the amount set is  
dispensed automatically.  
Please make sure that if you stop  
using combination detergents, you  
refill the dishwasher salt and rinse  
aid. Switch the refill reminders back  
on if required.  
Washing-up liquid or detergent  
can cause damage.  
Washing-up liquid and dishwasher  
detergent will damage the rinse aid  
reservoir.  
Only fill it with rinse aid formulated  
for domestic dishwashers.  
Alternatively, you can use liquid citric  
acid with up to 10% acid content. The  
dishes will, however, be more moist and  
stained than with rinse aid.  
Risk of acid damage.  
The dishwasher can be damaged by  
acids with a higher concentration.  
Never use citric acid or vinegar with  
a higher acid content.  
26  
 
Using for the first time  
Adding rinse aid  
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This  
prevents over-foaming occurring  
during the next programme.  
Refilling rinse aid  
When the Rinse aid refill reminder  
lights up in the display, the reservoir  
contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3  
programmes only.  
Add rinse aid in good time.  
The refill rinse aid reminder will go out.  
If you only ever use combination  
detergent products containing salt and  
rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can  
switch off both refill reminders if you  
wish (see “Programme options –  
Switching off the refill reminders”).  
Lift the yellow button on the lid of the  
rinse aid container .  
The lid will open.  
Only add rinse aid until the fill level  
indicator (see arrow) turns dark when  
the door is open horizontally.  
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.  
27  
   
Using for the first time  
Setting the rinse aid dosage  
Switch the dishwasher off with the   
button, if it is switched on.  
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for  
best results.  
The rinse aid dosage can be set from 0  
to 6 ml.  
Press the Start button in and, whilst  
holding it in, switch the dishwasher  
on using the button.  
Keep the Start button pressed in for  
at least 4 seconds until the Start

Caring for the environment  
- You can connect the dishwasher to a  
hot water supply. A hot water  
connection is particularly suitable  
with energy-saving water heating  
sources, such as solar water heaters.  
If the water is heated by electricity,  
we recommend connection to cold  
water.  
Economical dishwashing  
This dishwasher is exceptionally  
economical in its use of water and  
electricity.  
You can support the economical  
operation of your appliance by following  
these tips:  
- Washing in a dishwasher generally  
uses less water and energy than  
washing dishes by hand.  
- Pre-rinsing dishes under running  
water is not necessary and  
unnecessarily increases water and  
energy consumption.  
- For the most economical  
dishwashing, make full use of the  
basket capacity without overloading  
the dishwasher. This results in the  
most economical use of the  
dishwasher in terms of energy and  
water consumption.  
- Choose the programme to suit the  
type of crockery being washed and  
the degree of soiling (see  
“Programme chart”).  
- Select the ECO programme for  
energy-saving dishwashing. This  
programme is the most efficient in  
terms of its combined energy and  
water consumption for cleaning  
dishes with a normal level of soiling.  
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s  
recommendations on detergent  
dosage.  
- When using powder or liquid  
detergent, you can use 1/3 less  
detergent if the baskets are only half  
full.  
29  
 
Loading the dishwasher  
- The spray arms must not be blocked  
by items that are too tall or hang  
through the baskets. Test for free  
movement by manually rotating the  
spray arms.  
General information  
Remove coarse food residues from  
crockery.  
There is no need to pre-rinse items  
under running water.  
- Make sure that small items cannot  
fall through the holders in the  
baskets.  
Small items such as lids should  
therefore be placed in the cutlery tray  
or cutlery basket (depending on  
model).  
Damage can be caused by ash,  
sand, wax, lubricating grease, or  
paint.  
These substances will contaminate  
the dishwasher and can then no  
longer be removed.  
Do not wash items soiled with these  
substances in the dishwasher.  
Some foods such as carrots,  
tomatoes, or tomato sauce may  
contain natural dyes. These dyes can  
discolour plastic items in the  
dishwasher if large quantities of these  
foods are in contact with the crockery  
inside the machine. The stability of  
plastic items is not affected by this  
discolouration.  
Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the  
baskets. However, please try to observe  
the following notes:  
- Do not place dishes and utensils  
inside other items where they will  
cover one another.  
Washing silverware can also cause  
plastic items to discolour.  
- Load the crockery so that water can  
access all surfaces. This ensures that  
they will get properly cleaned.  
- Make sure that all items are securely  
positioned.  
- Hollow items such as cups, glasses,  
and saucepans etc. must be inverted  
in the baskets.  
- Tall and narrow, hollow items such as  
champagne glasses should be  
placed in the centre of the basket  
rather than in the corners. This  
ensures the hollow items are more  
easily accessed by the water jets.  
- Wide based items should be placed  
at an angle so that water can run off  
them freely.  
30  
 
Loading the dishwasher  
Items not suitable for washing in the  
dishwasher:  
Damage due to caustic alkaline  
detergents.  
- Wooden cutlery and crockery or  
items with wooden parts. These may  
discolour and fade. Furthermore, the  
glue used in these items is not  
dishwasher safe. Wooden handles  
may come loose after being washed  
in the dishwasher.  
Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease  
filters of rangehoods) can be  
damaged by caustic alkaline  
detergents. In extreme cases, there  
is a risk of an explosive chemical  
reaction (such as an explosive  
oxyhydrogen gas reaction).  
Aluminium components must not be  
cleaned in the dishwasher with  
caustic alkaline commercial or  
industrial detergents.  
- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,  
and decorative glassware. Such  
items are not suitable for  
dishwashers.  
- Plastic items that are not heat  
resistant. The high temperatures in  
the dishwasher may cause them to  
melt or lose shape.  
Useful tip: When purchasing new  
crockery and cutlery, make sure they  
are dishwasher safe if you want to wash  
them in the dishwasher.  
- Copper, brass, tin, and aluminium  
items. These may discolour or  
become dull.  
Glass care  
- Clouding may occur on glasses after  
frequent washing in the dishwasher.  
When washing delicate glassware in  
the dishwasher, select a special glass  
care programme with a low  
temperature (see “Programme chart”).  
This will reduce the risk of clouding.  
- Colours painted over a glaze. These  
may fade after a number of washes.  
- Delicate glassware and glassware  
containing lead crystal. Clouding may  
occur over time.  
- Purchase glassware that is  
dishwasher safe (e.g. Riedel  
glassware).  
Silverware  
Silver can discolour when in contact  
with foods containing sulphur. These  
include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,  
mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine, and  
marinades.  
- Use detergents with glass protective  
additives.  
Silverware previously cleaned with a  
silver polish may still be damp or  
spotted at the end of a programme, as  
water has not run off smoothly.  
Useful tip: Rub the silverware dry with  
a cloth.

Loading the FlexCare cup rack  
Upper basket  
You can put cups, small bowls, and flat  
dishes on the FlexCare cup rack.  
Glasses can be arranged along the cup  
rack so they sit securely during the  
programme.  
See “Loading the dishwasher -  
Loading examples” for examples of  
how to load crockery and cutlery.  
Loading the upper basket  
Damage due to leaking water.  
If you run the dishwasher without the  
upper basket, water can leak out of  
the dishwasher.  
Only run the dishwasher with the  
upper basket in place (except with  
the programme Tall items, if available).  
Use the upper basket for small,  
lightweight, and delicate items such  
as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert  
bowls, etc.  
Shallow pans or casserole dishes can  
also be placed in the upper basket.  
Fold down the cup rack.  
Raise the cup rack upwards to make  
room for tall items.  
Long items such as soup ladles and  
mixing spoons should be placed lying  
down across the front of the upper  
basket.  
32  
 
Loading the dishwasher

Lowering the spikes  
Lower basket  
The rows of spikes at the front are used  
for washing plates, soup bowls,  
platters, dessert bowls and saucers.  
See “Loading the dishwasher -  
Loading examples” for examples of  
how to load crockery and cutlery.  
Both right-hand rows of spikes can be  
folded down to make more room for  
large items such as pots, pans, and  
serving dishes and bowls.  
Loading the lower basket  
Place larger and heavier items such  
as plates, serving platters,  
saucepans, serving bowls etc., in the  
lower basket.  
Glasses, cups, small plates and  
saucers can also be placed in the  
lower basket.

Loading the dishwasher  
Cutlery tray/Cutlery basket  
(depending on model)  
See “Loading the dishwasher -  
Loading examples” for examples of  
how to load crockery and cutlery.  
Load the utensils into the cutlery tray  
or into the cutlery basket (depending  
on model).  
Loading the cutlery tray  
To make unloading easier, cutlery  
should be grouped in zones: one for  
knives, one for forks, one for spoons,  
etc.  
If spoon handles do not fit between  
the holders, lay them the other way  
round.  
Spoon heads should be placed to rest  
on the serrated retainers on the base of  
the tray to ensure that water runs off  
them freely.  
Arrange tall items (such as cake  
servers) so that they do not block the  
upper spray arm.  
36  
   
Loading the dishwasher  
Loading the cutlery basket  
Fit the insert onto the cutlery basket if  
required.  
The cutlery basket can be placed  
anywhere on the front rows of spikes in  
the left or right corner of the lower  
basket.  
To avoid the risk of injury, knives and  
forks should be placed with the  
handles upwards in the cutlery  
basket. However, cutlery placed  
handle down in the cutlery basket will  
come out cleaner and drier.  
Place small items of cutlery in the  
individual slots on three sides of the  
cutlery basket.  
Loading the cutlery insert for the  
cutlery basket  
Place cutlery into the insert with the  
handles facing downwards.  
Use the insert supplied for heavily  
soiled items of cutlery. As this insert  
separates the items, they do not  
overlap and can be more easily  
accessed by the water jets.

Detergents  
There are different types of detergents:  
Types of detergents  
- Powder and liquid gel detergents.  
These detergents allow you to adjust  
the amount dispensed according to  
the size of the load and the level of  
soiling.  
Damage due to unsuitable  
detergents.  
Detergents that are not suitable for  
domestic dishwashers can cause  
damage to the dishwasher or to the  
load.  
- Tablet detergents. These are suitable  
for most levels of soiling.  
Only use detergents formulated for  
domestic dishwashers.  
As well as the usual detergents,  
combination products are also  
available.  
These contain rinse aid and water  
softener (reactivation salt).  
Only use these combination detergents  
for the water hardness levels  
recommended by the manufacturer on  
the packaging.  
Modern detergents contain various  
active ingredients, the most important  
of which are:  
- Water softening complexing agents  
to prevent calcification.  
- Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on  
soiling.  
The cleaning and drying performance of  
these combination detergents can vary  
greatly.  
- Enzymes to break down starch and  
loosen protein.  
- Oxygen-based bleaching agents to  
remove coloured stains (e.g. tea,  
coffee, tomato sauce).  
For optimum cleaning and drying  
results, use dishwasher detergent and  
add salt and rinse aid separately.  
Most dishwasher detergents are mildly  
alkaline and contain enzymes and  
oxygen-based bleaching agents.  
48  
 
Detergents  
Detergent dispensing  
The detergent compartment holds a  
maximum of 50 ml.  
Risk of chemical burns from  
detergent.  
Dishwasher detergents can cause  
burning on the skin and in the eyes,  
nose, mouth, and throat.  
Avoid contact with detergents.  
Do not inhale or ingest powder  
detergents. Do not swallow  
dishwasher detergent. Seek medical  
attention immediately if detergent  
has been swallowed or inhaled.  
Keep detergents out of reach of  
children. Detergent residues could  
still be present in the machine. Keep  
children away from the dishwasher  
when the door is open. Do not fill the  
detergent dispenser until just before  
starting the programme and activate  
the door safety lock (depending on  
model).  
There are marks in the detergent  
compartment to aid with dispensing:  
20, 30, max. When the door is opened  
to a horizontal position, they show the  
approximate fill level in ml and the  
maximum fill height.  
Follow the detergent dosage  
recommended by the manufacturer  
on the packaging.  
Unless directed otherwise, use one  
detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml of  
detergent to the detergent  
compartment, depending on the  
degree of soiling of the crockery.  
If you use less than the recommended  
amount of detergent, the dishes may  
not get properly clean.  
Some tabs may not dissolve completely  
when the programme QuickPowerWash  
is used.  
49  
 
Detergents  
Adding detergent  
The detergent must not cause the  
detergent compartment lid to get  
stuck. This can prevent the lid from  
opening during the programme  
sequence.  
Do not overfill the detergent  
compartment.  
Ensure that the detergent packaging  
is properly closed after use. This  
prevents the detergent from getting  
damp and clumping together.  
Lift the yellow catch on the lid of the  
detergent compartment .  
The lid will open.  
The lid will also be open at the end of  
the programme.  
You can also apply a small amount of  
detergent to the inner panel of the  
door in programmes that have a pre-  
wash stage (see “Programme chart”).  
Add the detergent to the detergent  
compartment.  
Slide the lid shut until you hear it click  
into place.

of the water softener, the detergent  
type, the amount of crockery and how  
soiled it is.  
During operation, water in the  
dishwasher may be very hot.  
Only open the door if absolutely  
necessary and exercise extreme  
caution when doing so.  
When a programme is selected for the  
first time, the display will show the  
average programme duration for a cold

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the wash cabinet  
The wash cabinet is largely self-  
cleaning, provided that the correct  
amount of detergent is always used.  
Check the condition of your  
dishwasher regularly (approx. every  
4–6 months). This way, faults and  
problems can be avoided.  
If, despite this, limescale or grease  
deposits build up in the cabinet, these  
can be removed with a proprietary  
dishwasher cleaner (available from  
Miele or the Miele webshop, see  
“Optional accessories – Appliance  
care”). Follow the instructions on the  
product packaging.  
Damage caused by unsuitable  
cleaning agents.  
All surfaces of this appliance are  
susceptible to scratching. Contact  
with unsuitable cleaning agents can  
alter or discolour all surfaces.  
Only use cleaning agents formulated  
for use on the relevant surfaces.  
The frequent use of low-temperature  
wash programmes (< 50 °C) increases  
the risk of contamination and odours  
inside the wash cabinet. Run the  
Intensive 75 °C programme once a  
month to clean the wash cabinet and  
prevent odours from developing.  
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet  
regularly.  
67  
   
Cleaning and care  
To avoid damaging the external  
surfaces, do not use the following:  
Cleaning the door and the door  
seal  
- cleaning agents containing soda,  
ammonia, acids or chlorides  
The door seal and the sides of the  
dishwasher door are not accessed and  
cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a  
result, mould can develop here.  
- cleaning agents containing descaling  
agents  
Wipe the door seals regularly with a  
damp cloth to remove food deposits.  
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.  
powder cleaners and cream cleaners  
Wipe off any food or drink residues  
which may have dripped onto the  
sides of the dishwasher door before  
closing it.  
- solvent-based cleaning agents  
- stainless steel cleaning agents  
- dishwasher cleaners  
- oven cleaners or sprays  
- glass cleaning agents  
Cleaning the control panel  
The control panel should only be  
wiped with a damp cloth.  
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,  
e.g. pot scourers, brushes, or  
sponges which have been previously  
used with abrasive cleaning agents  
Cleaning the appliance front  
Damage due to soiling.  
Soiling that is left too long might  
become impossible to remove and  
could cause the external surfaces to  
alter or discolour.  
- dirt eraser sponges  
- sharp metal scrapers  
- steel wool or metal scourers  
- steam cleaners  
It is therefore best to remove any  
soiling immediately.  
Clean the front with a soft sponge  
and a solution of warm water and a  
little washing-up liquid. After  
cleaning, wipe the front dry using a  
soft cloth.  
A clean, damp microfibre cloth (such  
as the Original Miele all purpose  
microfibre cloth) without detergent  
can also be used.

Cleaning and care  
Removing the cutlery tray (if present)  
Cleaning the spray arms  
In order to be able to remove the upper  
spray arm, you first have to remove the  
cutlery tray (if present).  
Particles of food can get stuck in the  
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray  
arms should therefore be inspected  
regularly (approx. every 2–4 months).  
Pull out the cutlery tray.  
Never run a wash programme  
without using the spray arms.  
Damage due to soiling entering  
the circulation system.  
Without filters, soiling can enter the  
circulation system and cause a  
blockage.  
Do not run a wash programme  
without the lower spray arm or  
without the filters fitted.  
When cleaning the filters and spray  
arms, make sure that coarse soiling  
cannot get into the circulation  
system.

Cleaning and care  
Checking the filters in the  
wash cabinet  
Cleaning the filters  
Switch the dishwasher off.  
The filter combination in the base of the  
wash cabinet retains coarse soiling  
from the suds solution. This prevents  
soiling getting into the circulation  
system and re-entering the wash  
cabinet through the spray arms.  
Remove the lower spray arm (see  
“Cleaning and care - Cleaning the  
spray arms”).  
Before removing the filter  
combination, remove any coarse  
soiling to prevent it from entering the

arms, make sure that coarse soiling  
cannot get into the circulation  
system.  
The filters can become clogged by  
soiling that collects over time. The level  
of soiling and the time it takes before  
the filters need cleaning will vary  
depending on use.  
Remove the filter combination.  
Monitor the condition of the filter  
combination regularly and clean it if  
necessary.

*INSTALLATION*  
Installation  
The dishwasher may be connected to  
cold or hot water (up to max. 60 °C).  
If energy-saving water heating sources,  
such as a solar water heating system,  
are used, we recommend connecting to  
the hot water. This saves both time and  
electricity costs. Hot water is used in all  
programmes.  
The Miele Waterproof system  
Provided that your dishwasher has  
been installed correctly, the Miele  
Waterproof system will protect you from  
water damage throughout its lifetime.  
Water intake  
Danger to health due to wash  
water.  
The intake hose is approx. 1.5 m long.  
Water in the dishwasher must not be  
used as drinking water.  
Do not drink any water from the  
dishwasher.  
Health risk and risk of damage  
due to contaminated incoming water.  
The quality of the water used must  
correspond to the drinking water  
specification of the country in which  
the dishwasher is being operated.  
Connect the dishwasher to a drinking  
water supply.  
89  
   
*INSTALLATION*  
Installation  
A tap with a ¾" male thread must be  
provided on site. If this type of tap is  
not available, only a qualified plumber  
may connect the dishwasher to the  
household water supply.  
Risk of damage due to excessive  
pressure.  
A brief increase in the water pressure  
can damage components of the  
dishwasher.  
The dishwasher must be connected to a  
mains water supply in accordance with  
current local and national safety  
regulations.  
This dishwasher must only be  
operated when it is connected to a  
fully vented plumbing system.  
The water connection pressure needs  
to be between 50 and 1000 kPa. If the  
water pressure is lower than this, the  
/indicator light flashes (see  
“Problem solving guide - Water intake  
fault”). If the water pressure is too high,  
a pressure reducing valve must be  
fitted.  
Risk of damage from leaking  
water.  
The threaded union is subject to  
water pressure. Water leaking from it  
can cause damage.  
Turn on the tap slowly and check for  
leaks. Correct the position of the seal  
and union if necessary.  
Risk of electric shock.  
There are electrical components in  
the water inlet hose.  
The inlet hose must not be shortened  
or damaged in any way (see  
illustration).

*INSTALLATION*  
Installation  
Drainage  
Lay the drain hose so that it does not  
kink and is not being subjected to  
pressure or being tugged.  
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.  
Risk of damage from leaking  
water.  
Overflowing water can cause  
damage.  
After using the appliance for the first  
time, make sure that the water drain  
does not leak.  
The dishwasher is supplied with  
approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with  
an internal diameter of 22 mm.  
The 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 no higher than 1 m.  
If the hose is to be directly connected  
to the drainage outlet on site, use the  
supplied hose clip (see the installation  
plan).  
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 hose  
diameters. If the connector extends too  
far into the drain hose, it must be  
shortened. Otherwise, the drain hose  
can become clogged.  
The drain hose must not be shortened.

*INSTALLATION*  
Installation  
Venting the water drainage  
If the on-site drainage connection is  
situated lower than the guide for the  
rollers of the lower basket in the door,  
the drainage system must be vented.  
Otherwise, a siphoning effect during a  
programme can cause the appliance to  
empty itself of water.  
Open the dishwasher door fully.  
Remove the lower basket.  
Insert a screwdriver into the middle  
opening of the vent valve in the left  
wash cabinet wall .  
Press the screwdriver further into the  
opening and push it through the  
membrane behind.  
The vent opening for the water drain is  
now open.  
92  
*INSTALLATION*  
Installation  
If the mains connection cable is  
Electrical connection  
damaged, it must only be replaced with  
a specific mains connection cable of  
the same type (available Miele). For  
safety reasons, such replacement may  
only be carried out by a suitably  
qualified and competent technician or  
by Miele.  
The dishwasher is supplied with a  
mains cable with moulded plug ready  
for connection to an earthed socket.  
The socket must be easily accessible  
after the dishwasher has been installed.  
If the switch is not accessible after  
installation, an additional means of  
disconnection must be provided for all  
poles.  
For technical data, see the data plate  
located on the right side of the door.  
Compare this information with the data  
of the on-site electrical connection.  
If in any doubt, consult a qualified  
electrician.  
Risk of fire from overheating.  
Connecting the dishwasher to a  
multi-socket plug adapter or to an  
extension lead can overload the  
cable.  
Do not connect the dishwasher to a  
stand-alone inverter such as those used  
with an autonomous energy source (e.g.  
solar power). When the dishwasher is  
switched on, power surges could result  
in a safety switch-off. This could  
damage the electronics.  
Do not use an extension lead or  
multi-socket plug adapter.  
The electrical installation and all  
electrical work must be carried out by a  
suitably qualified and competent person  
in strict accordance with national and  
local safety regulations. For extra  
safety, it is advisable to install a residual  
current device (RCD) with a trip current  
of 30 mA. Ensure power is not supplied  
to the appliance until after the  
Temporary or permanent operation with  
a self-sufficient or non-mains  
synchronous energy supply system  
(e.g. isolated networks, back-up  
systems) is possible. A requirement for  
the operation is that the energy supply  
system complies with all current local  
and national requirements that apply to  
stand-alone, solar and/or battery  
systems.  
installation has been completed.  
Connection should be made via a  
suitable switched socket.  
The protective measures provided in  
the domestic installation and in this  
Miele product must also be assured in  
their function and operation in isolated  
operation or in non-mains synchronous  
operation, or replaced with equivalent  
measures in the installation.
