Warning and Safety instructions  
Safety with children  
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.  
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has  
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, rec‐  
ognising the dangers of misuse.  
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the  
supervision of an adult.  
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play  
with the appliance. Keep small children away from the appliance at  
all times to avoid the risk of injury. There is the risk that children may  
lock themselves in the dishwasher.  
If the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model)  
is active, keep young children away from the area in which the door  
opens. Danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the open‐  
ing mechanism.  
Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves  
in packing material or pull it over their heads with the risk of suffoca‐  
tion. Keep children away from any packing material.  
Keep detergent and other household agents out of the reach of  
children at all times. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alka‐  
line and contain irritants and corrosive ingredients. They can be ex‐  
tremely dangerous if swallowed, and 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. Seek medical advice immediately if your child has  
swallowed or inhaled detergent, e.g. Poisons Information Centre  
(Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ).

Warning and Safety instructions  
Technical safety  
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be danger‐  
ous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical applian‐  
ces must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.  
Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of dam‐  
age. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dishwash‐  
er. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.  
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing  
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is  
present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the elec‐  
trical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electri‐  
cian.  
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate  
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).  
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assur‐  
ed if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.  
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply  
via a suitable switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily  
accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be discon‐  
nected from the electricity supply at any time.  
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Dan‐  
ger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed  
up against a plug.  
The dishwasher must not be installed under a cooktop. The high  
radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktop  
could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason, it should not be  
installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat,  
such as heaters etc.  
11  
Warning and Safety instructions  
To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the  
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequen‐  
cy) matches the mains electricity supply before connecting the dish‐  
washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.  
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has  
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door  
springs.  
The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mecha‐  
nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of injury  
whilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model)  
is active.  
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:  
– the door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They  
are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left  
half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the  
door cannot fall open.  
– the door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens  
at the end of the drying phase.  
Do not connect the appliance to the 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).  
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile in‐  
stallations (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.  
To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher 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.  
12  
Warning and Safety instructions  
There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the  
water inlet hose, even if it is too long.  
The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water  
damage, provided the following conditions are met:  
– The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.  
– The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced  
where it can be seen that this is necessary.  
– The tap has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a  
longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).  
The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched  
off. However, the appliance must remain connected to the electricity  
supply.  
The water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must  
be between 30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar).  
A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets  
damaged, switch it off at the mains and call Miele.  
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is  
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.  
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare  
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appli‐  
ance when Miele replacement parts are used.  
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance  
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.  
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a  
special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele au‐  
thorised service technician only in order to avoid a hazard.  
13  
Warning and Safety instructions  
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 compliance  
with the installation instructions.  
Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protective  
gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.  
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free  
operation.  
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwash‐  
ers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is se‐  
cured to adjacent cabinetry.  
If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-un‐  
der ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate 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 on either side need to be evenly adjusted. They  
are correctly adjusted if the half-opened door (approx. 45° door  
opening angle) remains in this position when it is released. The door  
must not fall down under its own weight.  
The appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted door  
springs.  
14  
Warning and Safety instructions  
Correct use  
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!  
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher  
detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive in‐  
gredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can  
cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing.  
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Seek medical advice immedi‐  
ately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled, e.g. Poisons Infor‐  
mation Centre (Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ).  
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip  
over it and be injured by it.  
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dish‐  
washer to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.  
Dishes can be very hot at the end of a programme. Allow them to  
cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.  
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish‐  
washers. Do not use washing-up liquid.  
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may  
cause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical re‐  
action (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).  
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.  
This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.  
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dish‐  
washer detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you  
have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling  
the salt reservoir!  
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.  
Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or  
gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair  
the functioning of the water softener.  
15  
Warning and Safety instructions  
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model) cut‐  
lery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with  
the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place  
knives and forks etc. with the handles upwards.  
Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,  
such as disposable plastic containers, or plastic cutlery and crock‐  
ery 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 "FlexiTimer/Delay start" option (depending on mod‐  
el), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent.  
Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dis‐  
penser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.  
Please observe the information given in "Technical data" regard‐  
ing the capacity of the dishwasher.  
Accessories  
Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or ac‐  
cessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be in‐  
validated, and Miele cannot accept liability.  
Disposal of your old dishwasher  
Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot acciden‐  
tally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of  
the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal  
of the appliance.

Caring for the environment  
Energy-saving dishwashing  
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco‐  
nomical in its use of water and electrici‐  
ty.  
You can make the most of your appli‐  
ance by following these tips:  
– 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 ener‐  
gy-saving dishwashing. This pro‐  
gramme 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 dos‐  
age.  
– When using powder or liquid deter‐  
gent you can use 1/3 less detergent if  
baskets are only half full.  
– If your household water system is  
suitable, this dishwasher can be con‐  
nected to a hot water supply for fur‐  
ther 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.  
You can find further tips on energy-  
saving dishwashing in "Miele's guide  
to dishwashing".

Before using for the first time  
Opening the door  
Closing the door  
Push the baskets right in.  
Then lift the door upwards and push  
until it clicks into position.  
Danger of injury!  
Do not put your hand inside the door  
as it is closing.  
Safety lock  
Use the safety lock to prevent children  
opening the dishwasher door.  
To open the door, reach under the  
door grip and pull.  
If the door is opened during operation,  
all functions are automatically interrup‐  
ted.  
Water in the dishwasher may be  
hot. Danger of scalding!  
Only open the door during operation  
if absolutely necessary and exercise  
extreme caution when doing so.  
To lock the door, push the slide un‐  
derneath the door grip to the right.  
To unlock the door, push the slide to  
the left.  
19  
   
Before using for the first time  
Enter the water hardness below:  
____________mmol/l  
Water softener  
In order to achieve good cleaning re‐  
sults, the dishwasher needs to operate  
with soft water. Hard water results in a  
build-up of calcium deposits on crock‐  
ery and in the dishwasher.  
The dishwasher is programmed at the  
factory for a water hardness level of  
0.2 mmol/l (1 °d - German scale).  
If this setting corresponds to the hard‐  
ness of your water, you do not need to  
do anything more.  
Mains water with a hardness level high‐  
er 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  
the dishwasher is suitable for a water  
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70  
°d - German scale).  
However, if you have a different water  
hardness, you must adjust the water  
softener to match your water hardness.  
– The water softener requires dish‐  
washer salt.  
Depending on the water hardness  
level (< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - Ger‐  
man scale), dishwasher salt is not re‐  
quired if combination tablets are be‐  
ing used (see "Operation - Deter‐  
gent").  
– The dishwasher must be program‐  
med for the water hardness level in  
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 °d - German scale), always pro‐  
gramme the dishwasher to the higher  
value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °d in this ex‐  
ample).  
In the event of a fault, it will help the  
service technician if you know the hard‐  
ness of your local water supply.  
20  
 
Before using for the first time  
Displaying and setting the water  
hardness level  
The value which has been set for the  
water hardness is shown as a figure af‐  
ter in the display (see chart).  
Switch the dishwasher off with the   
button if it is switched on.  
  will start flashing in the display.  
This is the factory default setting of  
0.2 mmol/l (1 °d - German scale).  
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 four seconds until the Start  
indicator light comes on.  
Use the Start button to select the val‐  
ue which equates to your water hard‐  
ness level.  
Each press of the button moves you  
up a level. When the highest water  
hardness level is reached, the setting  
starts from the beginning again.  
If this does not happen, start the proce‐  
dure from the beginning again.  
Press the Delay start button twice.  
The setting is now stored in memory.  
The indicator light will flash rapidly  
twice at intervals.  
Switch the dishwasher off with the   
button.

Before using for the first time  
Before using the appliance for  
the first time, you require:  
– approx. 2 litres of water,  
If the water hardness in your area is  
constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l  
(5 °d), you do not need to add dish‐  
washer salt. The prompt to add dish‐  
washer salt will be switched off auto‐  
matically. The water softener must,  
however, still be programmed to cor‐  
respond to the water hardness level in  
your area.  
– approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,  
– domestic dishwasher detergent,  
– rinse aid formulated for domestic  
dishwashers.  
Every dishwasher is tested at the fac‐  
tory. There will be residual water in the  
appliance from this test. It is not an in‐  
dication that it has been used previ‐  
ously.  
Dishwasher detergent will dam‐  
age the water softener.  
Do not fill the salt reservoir with  
powder or liquid detergent.  
Only use special coarse grained  
dishwasher salt for reactivation,  
as other salts (e.g. cooking salt, agri‐  
cultural grade or gritting salt) may  
contain insoluble additives which  
can impair the functioning of the wa‐  
ter softener.  
Dishwasher salt  
In order to achieve good cleaning re‐  
sults, the dishwasher needs to operate  
with soft water. Hard water results in a  
build-up of calcium deposits on crock‐  
ery and in the dishwasher.  
Mains water with a hardness level high‐  
er 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  
the 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  
(< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - German scale),  
dishwasher salt is not required if combi‐  
nation tablets are being used (see "Op‐  
eration - Detergent").  
23  
   
Before using for the first time  
Filling the salt reservoir  
Before filling the salt reservoir with  
dishwasher salt for the first time, you  
must fill it with approx. 2 litres of wa‐  
ter to enable the salt to dissolve.  
Once the dishwasher has been used,  
there is always sufficient water in the  
reservoir.  
Remove the lower basket and un‐  
screw the salt reservoir cap.  
Water or saline solution will run out  
of the reservoir when the cap is re‐  
moved.  
It should therefore only be removed  
in order to refill the salt reservoir.  
Place the funnel provided over the  
salt reservoir and carefully fill with  
dishwasher salt until the reservoir is  
full. The salt reservoir holds approx. 2  
kg of salt depending on the brand  
used.  
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres  
of water (first use only).  
Clean any excess dishwasher salt  
from around the reservoir opening  
and then screw the cap on again  
firmly.  
Immediately after filling the salt reser‐  
voir, run the Quick wash programme  
with the Short programme option se‐  
lected and without any crockery in  
the dishwasher, to remove any traces  
of salt from the cabinet.  
24  
 
Before using for the first time  
Salt indicator  
If you only ever use multi-function  
combination products in your dish‐  
washer, you can switch off both refill  
reminders for salt and rinse aid if you  
wish (see "Programme options -  
Switching off the refill indicators").  
Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher  
salt when the Salt indicator light  
comes on (If it comes on during a  
programme, wait until the end of the  
programme).  
Risk of corrosion!  
If you switch to using detergent that  
does not contain salt or rinse aid, it  
is important to remember to add  
dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to  
switch the refill indicators back on.  
Immediately after filling the salt res‐  
ervoir, run the Quick wash pro‐  
gramme with the Short programme  
option selected and without any  
crockery in the dishwasher to re‐  
move any traces of salt from the  
cabinet.  
After the salt reservoir has been filled,  
the refill indicator may still be lit up if  
the salt concentration has not yet  
reached the correct level. It will go out  
when the correct concentration is  
reached.  
The refill indicator will be switched off if  
you have programmed the dishwasher  
for a water hardness below 0.9 mmol/l  
(5 °d - German scale).  
25  
 
Before using for the first time  
Rinse aid  
If you only ever use combination  
products containing rinse aid in your  
dishwasher, you do not need to add  
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.  
Adding rinse aid  
Rinse aid is poured into the storage res‐  
ervoir and the amount set is dispensed  
automatically.  
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid  
reservoir with powder or liquid deter‐  
gent will damage the reservoir. Only  
pour rinse aid formulated for domes‐  
tic dishwashers into the reservoir.  
Alternatively, it is possible to use  
– household vinegar with a max. 5%  
acid content  
Press the button on the lid of the  
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of  
the arrow until the flap springs open.  
or  
– liquid citric acid up to 10% acid con‐  
tent  
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  
25% acid).  
This would damage the dishwasher.  
26  
   
Before using for the first time  
Add rinse aid reminder  
When the Rinse aid indicator light  
comes on, the reservoir contains suffi‐  
cient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes on‐  
ly.  
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.  
If you only ever use multi-function  
combination products in your dish‐  
washer, you can switch off both refill  
reminders for salt and rinse aid if you  
wish (see "Programme options -  
Switching off the refill indicators").  
Add rinse aid only until it is visible in  
the opening.  
If you switch to using detergent that  
does not contain salt or rinse aid, it  
is important to remember to add  
dishwasher salt and rinse aid and to  
switch the reminders back on.  
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 pro‐  
gramme.  
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This  
prevents over-foaming occurring dur‐  
ing the next programme.  
27  
 
Before 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.  
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 indi‐  
cator light comes on.  
The rinse aid dosage is set in stages  
from 0 to 6. It is set to 3 at the factory.  
This is the recommended setting.  
If the "Adjust Sensor wash" programme  
function (depending on model) has  
been activated, the amount of rinse aid  
dispensed in the Sensor wash pro‐  
gramme can be higher than that set.  
If this does not happen, start the proce‐  
dure from the beginning again.  
Press the button 3 times.  
If spots appear on crockery and glass‐  
ware:  
The indicator will flash rapidly 3  
times at intervals.  
Increase the rinse aid dosage.  
The dosage set will appear in the dis‐  
play after .  
If clouding or smearing appears on  
crockery and glassware:  
The flashing sequence   will appear in  
the display.  
Decrease the rinse aid dosage.  
This indicates the factory default setting  
3.  
Use the Start button to select the set‐  
ting required.  
Each press of the button moves you  
up a level. After reaching the highest  
value, the counter starts from the be‐  
ginning again.  
The setting is now stored in memory.  
Switch the dishwasher off with the   
button.

Loading the dishwasher  
– The spray arms must not be blocked  
by items which are too tall or hang  
through the baskets. If in doubt, test  
for free movement by manually rotat‐  
ing the spray arms.  
Notes  
Remove coarse food residues from  
crockery.  
There is no need to rinse items under  
running water.  
– Make sure that small items cannot  
fall through the holders in the bas‐  
kets.  
Do not wash items soiled with  
ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or  
paint in the dishwasher. Ash does  
not dissolve and is distributed in the  
wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating  
grease and paint cause damage to  
the dishwasher.  
Small items, e.g. lids, should there‐  
fore be placed in the cutlery tray or  
cutlery basket (depending on model).  
Some foodstuffs may contain natural  
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or toma‐  
to sauce. Plastic items in the dish‐  
washer may discolour if large quanti‐  
ties of these foodstuffs find their way  
into the dishwasher on the crockery.  
The stability of plastic items is not  
affected by this discolouration.  
Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish‐  
washer may also cause plastic items  
to discolour.  
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in  
the baskets, but the following notes  
should be observed:  
– Do not place crockery and cutlery in‐  
side 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. cham‐  
pagne glasses, should be placed in  
the centre of the basket to ensure  
better water coverage.  
– Wide based items should be placed  
at an angle so that water can run off  
them freely.  
29  
 
Loading the dishwasher  
Items not suitable for dishwashers:  
Aluminium components (e.g.  
rangehood grease filters) must not  
be cleaned with caustic alkaline  
commercial or industrial cleaning  
agents.  
These may damage the material, or  
in extreme cases, there is a risk of a  
severe explosive chemical reaction  
(such as an explosive oxyhydrogen  
gas reaction).  
– 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 dish‐  
washer.  
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases  
and decorative glassware are also  
not suitable for dishwashers.  
Useful tip: When purchasing new  
crockery and cutlery, make sure they  
are dishwasher-proof.  
– Plastic items which are not heat-re‐  
sistant: the high temperatures in the  
dishwasher may cause them to melt  
or lose shape.  
Glass care  
– Clouding may occur on glasses after  
frequent washing. If delicate glass‐  
ware is washed in the dishwasher,  
ensure that only very low tempera‐  
tures are used (see programme  
chart), or a special glass-care pro‐  
gramme is used (depending on mod‐  
el). This will reduce the risk of cloud‐  
ing.  
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium  
items may discolour or become matt.  
– Colours painted over a glaze may  
fade after a number of washes.  
– Delicate glassware and glassware  
containing lead crystal: clouding may  
occur over time.  
Please note  
– Purchase glassware which is dish‐  
washer-safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).  
Silverware previously cleaned with a  
silver polish may still be damp or spot‐  
ted at the end of a programme, where  
water has not run off smoothly. It may  
need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.  
– Use detergents with glass protective  
additives (e.g. Miele CareCollection  
tabs).  
– Visit "http://www.mieleglass‐  
care.com/international/en/glasscare/  
english" for more information on  
glass care.  
Silver which has been in contact with  
foods containing sulphur can discolour.  
These include egg yolk, onions, mayon‐  
naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine  
and marinades.

round.  
Spoon heads should be placed in con‐  
tact with at least one of the serrated re‐  
tainers on the base of the cutlery tray to  
ensure that water runs off them freely.  
The upper spray arm must not be  
blocked by items which are too big  
(e.g. cake slices).  
The side sections of the tray can be  
moved into the middle to accommodate  
tall items of crockery in the upper bas‐  
ket.  
You can use the yellow slide to adjust

Operation  
You can also buy combination products  
(see "Programme options - Detergent‐  
Agent", if applicable).  
Detergent  
Only use detergents formulated  
for domestic dishwashers. Do not  
use washing-up liquid.  
In addition to detergent, these products  
contain rinse aid and salt substitutes.  
They are available as "3 in 1" or when  
they also contain other components  
such as glass and stainless steel pro‐  
tective additives and enhanced clean‐  
ing power, as "5 in 1", "7 in 1", "All in 1"  
etc.  
Active ingredients  
Modern detergents contain various ac‐  
tive 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.  
Please note that the cleaning and dry‐  
ing results of combination detergents  
can vary greatly.  
– Complexing agents to prevent calcifi‐  
cation.  
– Alkalis to aid the removal of dried on  
soiling.  
– Enzymes to break down starch and  
loosen protein.  
– Oxygen based bleaching agents to  
remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, cof‐  
fee, tomato sauce).  
For optimum cleaning and drying re‐  
sults, use Miele dishwasher detergent  
and add Miele salt and Miele rinse aid  
separately. See "Optional accesso‐  
ries".  
Most dishwasher detergents are mildly  
alkaline and contain enzymes and oxy‐  
gen based bleaching agents.  
Types of detergent:  
– Powder and liquid gel detergents.  
These detergents allow you to adjust  
the amount dispensed according to  
the amount of load and level of soil‐  
ing.  
Tab detergents. These are suitable  
for most levels of soiling.

Operation  
Detergent dosage  
Some dishwasher detergents are  
strongly alkaline and contain irritant  
or corrosive ingredients which can  
cause burning in the nose, mouth  
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit  
breathing.  
Avoid inhalation of powder deter‐  
gents and do not ingest dishwasher  
detergent. Seek medical advice im‐  
mediately if detergent has been  
swallowed or inhaled.  
Keep detergent and other household  
agents out of the reach of children at  
all times. Keep children away from  
the dishwasher when the door is  
open. There could still be detergent  
residues in the cabinet. Check that  
the detergent dispenser is empty at  
the completion of a programme. To  
avoid the danger of children coming  
into contact with the dishwasher de‐  
tergent, only add detergent just be‐  
fore starting the programme and  
close the door, activating the safety  
lock (if your dishwasher is fitted with  
one).  
Follow the dosage recommended by  
the manufacturer on the packaging.  
Unless directed otherwise, use one  
detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml de‐  
tergent to compartment II, depending  
on the level of soiling. With very  
heavy soiling you can also add a  
small amount of detergent to com‐  
partment l.  
Tabs may not dissolve completely  
when the Quick wash programme (if  
available) is used.  
Failure to dispense the recommen‐  
ded amount of detergent may impair  
cleaning results.

Operation  
Adding detergent  
Add the required amount of detergent  
and close the flap.  
Press the opening catch on the de‐  
tergent dispenser. The flap will spring  
open.  
Make sure that the detergent packag‐

avoid it getting damp and becoming  
lumpy.  
The flap is always open at the end of a  
programme.  
For information  
Compartment I holds max. 10 ml,  
Compartment II holds max. 50 ml.  
There are marks in Compartment II to  
assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The  
marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the door and the door  
seal  
Mould could build up on the door seal  
and the sides of the dishwasher door  
as these surfaces are outside the wash  
cabinet and are not accessed and  
cleaned by the spray arm jets.  
Check your dishwasher regularly (ap‐  
prox. every 4-6 months). This way  
faults and problems can be avoided.  
The external surfaces of this ap‐  
pliance are all susceptible to  
scratching.  
Contact with unsuitable cleaning  
agents can alter or discolour the ex‐  
ternal surfaces.  
Wipe the door seals regularly with a  
damp cloth to remove food deposits.  
Wipe off any food or drink residues  
which may have dripped onto the  
sides of the dishwasher door before  
closing it.  
Cleaning the wash cabinet  
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean‐  
ing, provided that the correct amount of  
detergent is always used.  
If, however, there are limescale or  
grease deposits in the cabinet, these  
can be removed with a special dish‐  
washer cleaner (see "Optional accesso‐  
ries"). Follow the instructions on the  
packaging.  
Using mainly low temperature pro‐  
grammes (below 50°C), could cause  
bacteria and unpleasant odours to build  
up in the wash cabinet. To avoid this,  
the dishwasher will increase the tem‐  
perature in the final rinse of the selected  
programme automatically after several  
programmes using low temperatures  
have been run.  
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet  
regularly.  
66  
     
Cleaning and care  
To avoid damaging external surfaces,  
do not use:  
Cleaning the door front  
Soiling that is left too long might  
become impossible to remove and  
could cause external surfaces to al‐  
ter or discolour.  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
ammonia, acids or chlorides,  
– cleaning agents containing descaling  
agents,  
Remove any soiling immediately.  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow‐  
der cleaners and cream cleaners,  
Clean the front with a solution of  
warm water and a little washing-up  
liquid applied with a soft sponge.  
Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft  
cloth.  
For cleaning, you can also use a  
clean, damp microfibre cloth, such as  
the Original Miele all purpose microfi‐  
bre cloth, without any cleaning agent.  
– solvent-based cleaning agents,  
– stainless steel cleaning agents,  
– dishwasher cleaner,  
– oven cleaner,  
– glass cleaning agents,  
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,  
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or spong‐  
es which have been previously used  
with abrasive cleaning agents,  
– dirt erasers,  
– sharp metal scrapers,  
– steel wool or metal scourers,  
– steam cleaning appliances.  
67  
 
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 soil from  
the suds solution, preventing it access‐  
ing the circulation system and re-enter‐  
ing 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.  
Check the condition of the filters reg‐  
ularly and clean them if necessary.  
Turn the handle anti-clockwise to re‐  
lease the filter combination .  
Lift the filter combination out of the  
dishwasher . Remove any coarse  
particles and rinse the filter well un‐  
der running water.  
Use a nylon brush if necessary.  
During cleaning ensure that  
course soil doesn't get into the cir‐  
culation system and cause a block‐  
age.  
68  
 
Cleaning and care  
Replace the filter combination so that  
it lies flat in the base of the wash  
cabinet.  
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap  
must be opened:  
Press the catches together in the  
direction of the arrows as shown, and  
open the filter .  
Then turn the handle clockwise until  
both arrows point towards each oth‐  
er. This will lock the filter combination  
in place.  
Rinse all the filters under running wa‐  
ter.  
Take care when you are fitting  
the filter combination that it is se‐  
cured in position correctly.  
Otherwise coarse soil could get into  
the circulation system and cause a  
blockage.  
Then close the flap so that the catch  
engages.  
69  
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the spray arms  
Particles of food can get stuck in the  
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray  
arms should therefore be inspected and  
cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6  
months).  
Switch the dishwasher off.  
Remove the spray arms as follows:  
Take out the cutlery tray (if your dish‐  
washer is fitted with one).  
Push the top spray arm upwards to  
engage the inner ratchet. Then un‐  
screw the spray arm.  
Pull the lower spray arm firmly up‐  
wards to remove it.  
Push the middle spray arm upwards  
to engage the ratchet. Then un‐  
screw the spray arm .  
Use a pointed object to push food  
particles into the spray arm jets.  
Rinse thoroughly under running wa‐  
ter.  
Remove the lower basket.  
Refit the spray arms and check that  
they rotate freely.

Maintenance  
Cleaning the water inlet filter  
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.  
The housing must not be dipped in  
water.  
Recommendation  
Carefully remove the washer.  
If the mains water contains a large  
amount of insoluble substances, we  
recommend fitting a large-area filter in  
the connection between the tap and the  
water inlet hose threaded union. This  
filter is available from Miele.  
Withdraw the filter using pointed pli‐  
ers and rinse clean under running  
water.  
Replace the filter and washer, making  
sure they are sitting correctly.  
Reconnect the inlet hose to the tap,  
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 tap.  
If water leaks out, the inlet hose may  
not be connected securely or it may  
have been screwed on at an angle.  
Turn off the tap.  
Unscrew the inlet hose.  
Unscrew and reconnect the inlet  
hose correctly.  
79  
 
Maintenance  
Cleaning the drain pump and  
non-return valve  
If the 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.  
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  
- Cleaning the filters").  
The drain pump is situated under the  
non-return valve (see arrow).  
Scoop the water out of the cabinet  
using a suitable container or utensil.  
Remove all foreign objects from the  
drain pump (watch out for glass or  
bone splinters which are particularly  
difficult to detect and could cause in‐  
jury). Turn the drain pump impeller by  
hand to check that there are no more  
obstructions. You will feel a little re‐  
sistance when you turn the impeller.  
Carefully refit the non-return valve  
and secure it with the catch.  
Ensure that the catch engages  
correctly.  
Be careful not to damage any  
delicate components when cleaning  
the drain pump and the non-return

Electrical connection  
This dishwasher is supplied with a  
mains cable with moulded plug ready  
for connection to an AC single phase  
supply, (230 - 240 V 50 Hz for NZ and  
Australia) via a suitable switched sock‐  
et.  
Before connecting the appliance,  
check that the connection data on  
the data plate (voltage, frequency,  
rated load and fuse rating) matches  
the mains electricity supply. If in any  
doubt, consult a qualified electrician.  
The electrical socket must be  
easily accessible after the dishwash‐  
er has been installed. Do not con‐  
nect the dishwasher to the mains  
electricity supply by an extension  
lead. Extension leads do not guaran‐  
tee the required safety of the appli‐  
ance (e.g. danger of overheating).  
The data plate is located on the right-  
hand side of the door.  
All electrical work must be car‐  
ried out by a suitably qualified and  
competent person in strict accord‐  
ance with current local and national  
safety regulations.  
Do not connect the appliance solely to  
an inverter such as those used with an  
autonomous energy source e.g. solar  
power. When switched on, peak loads  
in the system can cause the safety  
switch-off mechanism to be triggered.  
This can damage the electronic unit.  
The machine must not be used with so-  
called energy-saving devices either.  
These reduce the amount of energy  
supplied to the machine, causing it to  
overheat.  
For extra safety, it is advisable to in‐  
stall a residual current device (RCD),  
with a trip current of 30 mA.  
84  
 
Water connection  
– 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 too high, a  
pressure reducer valve must be fit‐  
ted.  
The Miele Waterproof system  
As long as your dishwasher has been  
installed correctly, the Miele waterproof  
anti-leak system will protect you from  
water damage.  
Connection to the water sup‐  
ply  
After connecting the dishwasher to  
the water supply, check that all  
plumbing connections are watertight.  
Water in the dishwasher must  
not be used as drinking water.  
To avoid any damage to the ap‐  
pliance, the dishwasher must only be  
operated when it is connected to a  
fully vented plumbing system.  
– The dishwasher may be connected to  
a cold or hot water supply, max.  
60°C.  
We would only recommend connec‐  
tion to a hot water supply if it is eco‐  
nomical, e.g. a solar powered supply.  
When connected to a hot water sup‐  
ply, all programmes will be carried  
out with hot water.  
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.  
– A tap with a 3/4" male thread must  
be provided on site.  
– Connection to the mains water sup‐  
ply should only be carried out by a  
qualified and competent person in  
strict accordance with national and  
local safety regulations. The tap  
should be easily accessible once the  
appliance has been installed.  
The inlet hose must not be  
shortened or damaged in any way as  
it contains electrical components  
(see illustration).  
– IMPORTANT  
Australia and New Zealand  
This appliance must be installed ac‐  
cording to AS/NZS 3500.1. Back flow  
prevention is already integrated in the  
appliance.

Water connection  
Venting the drainage system  
Drainage  
If the on-site drain connection is situ‐  
ated 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 appliance drainage system is fit‐  
ted with a non-return valve which  
prevents dirty water from flowing  
back into the dishwasher via the  
drain hose.  
– The dishwasher is supplied with ap‐  
prox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with  
an internal diameter of 22 mm.  
To vent it: Open the dishwasher door  
fully.  
– The drain hose can be extended us‐  
ing 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 ex‐  
ceed 1 m.  
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to  
the drainage outlet on site, use the  
hose clip supplied (see installation di‐  
agram).  
– The hose can be directed to the left  
or the right of the appliance.  
– The on-site connector for the drain  
hose can be adapted to different  
widths of hose. If the connector pro‐  
trudes too far into the drain hose, it  
will need to be shortened. Otherwise  
the drain hose may become blocked.  
Pull the lower spray arm firmly up‐  
wards to remove it.  
Cut off the top of the vent valve in the  
wash cabinet.  
– The drain hose must not be short‐  
ened.  
Make sure that there are no  
kinks in the hose, and that it is not  
squashed or stretched.  
After commissioning the appliance,  
ensure that the water outlet does not  
leak.
