IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical safety
Child safety
Before installation, make sure the
voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the house-
hold electrical supply. This data must
correspond to prevent injury and
machine damage. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely
and kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!

Installation
1.Install the steam deflector
A stainless steel steam deflector is sup-
plied to protect the countertops from
steam and condesation when the dish-
washer is opened. If the countertop is
made of Corian®, granite, marble or
other solid, waterproof material, the
steam deflector is not required.
If the counter is made of different
materials, the steam deflector
should be positioned so that it cov-
ers the edge where the materials are
joined. Countertops with wood or
laminate edging should be tacked
through the rear holes of the steam
deflector.
^ Squeeze a bead of silicone sealant
from the supplied tube into the ridge
formed by the curved edge, a, of the
steam deflector.
^ Line up the steam deflector, b, with
the lower front edge of the countertop
and use the supplied tacks to secure.
^ Wipe off any excess silicone with a
rag.
The "Extended drying" feature can
be activated to further protect the
counter from condensation. See the
Operating instructions / Additional
features.

Installation
2.Install the mounting brackets 3. Install the slide skis
To ensure stability, this dishwasher
should be securely attached to the
countertop with the two mounting
brackets included.
Two slide skis are included and should
be installed on the feet of the dish-
washer before the machine is pushed
under the countertop. This will allow the
machine to slide easier, protect the
floor, and allow adjustment of the rear
leveling legs from the front of the ma-
chine.
^ First, adjust the height of the legs so
that the top of the dishwasher is
roughly 1/8" (3 mm) below the
countertop.
Tipping the machine slightly to the rear,
if possible, will make adjusting the front
legs easier. Make sure the machine is
level when adjustments are complete.
^ Insert the tab of each bracket into the
guide holes on the top of the dish-
washer.
Stone or marble countertops:
Do not install these mounting brackets
if the counter is made of an extremely
hard material. The securing screws for
the mounting brackets are not suitable
for such materials.
^ Place the skis, with the ratchet at the
rear, under the dishwasher legs.

Installation
4.Install the dishwasher
under the countertop
The dishwasher must be installed so
that the water and electricity supplies
can be accessed through an adjacent
cabinet. The supplies must not be lo-
cated behind the machine.
The floor of the cut out where the dish-
washer will be installed should be even
in height with the surrounding kitchen
floor. Plywood can be secured to the
floor to make the two areas even.
^ Slide the machine into the opening,
making sure the electrical cable and
hoses can reach their connection
points without kinking.
The drain hose connection at the rear of
the dishwasher can be turned to allow
the hose to be angled to the right or
left.
Exercise care when sliding the dish-
washer in or out, to prevent damag-
ing the power cord or hoses.
^ Make a 2" x 4" (5 x 10 cm) cut out in
the side or bottom of the cabinet ad-
joining the dishwasher. This cut out is
necessary for connections to pass
through.
^ Make certain that there are no rough
edges that could damage the power
cord or hoses. If metal cabinets are
used, place the supplied rubber
grommet around the edge of the ope-
ning before passing the cable
through.

11. Make the plumbing
connections
New plumbing:
The water inlet hose comes equipped
with a 3/4" female hose thread connec-
tor. This can be directly connected to a
shut off valve with 3/4" MHT (male hose
thread ends).
An air gap is built into the water inlet
system to prevent potable water from
mixing with waste water.
The dishwasher can heat its own water
to the temperatures required by the
wash program. This allows the option of
connecting the machine to either a hot
or cold water source.
Preferred Installation:
The hose assembly should be installed
vertically so the hose exits from the bot-
tom of the valve box (not as shown).
^ For lowest energy consumption con-
nect the dishwasher to a cold water
source.
If this is not possible, it can be installed
horizontally, provided the hose exit re-
mains beneath the main body of the
valve box (see illustration). The valve
box should also be installed so that it is
at least 10" (24 cm) above the floor (or
base of the cabinet), so that the excess
coiled hose will remain lower than the
valve box at all points.
^ For fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot
water source.
Hot water supply specifications:
Recommended temperature:
120 °F (49 °C), max 140 °F (60 °C)
Water pressure:
Must be between 5 - 145 psi
(0.3 -10 bar).
If the water pressure is too low, the "In-
take/Drain" or "Intake" indicator may
flash (see Operating Instructions/ "Fre-
quently asked questions").
If the water pressure is too high, a pres-
sure reducer must be installed.

Installation
Existing plumbing:
If the standard 3/8" copper plumbing for
a dishwasher already exists with a com-
pression fitting and valve as pictured:
,Do not cut the intake hose. If the
hose is cut, the dishwasher will not
work. There will be a water leak and
you could be injured. If the hose is
too long, coil it neatly and place it
behind the machine.
^ Cut the 3/8" copper tubing after the
valve.
^ Install the 3/8" compression to 3/4"
MHT (Male Hose Thread) adapter
(supplied with the machine), as illus-
trated.
Electrical wiring and components
should not come into contact with
any plumbing fixtures or hoses.
^ For any other size plumbing, pur-
chase the correct size adapter from a
hardware store.
^ Connect the inlet hose to the existing
valve/adapter assembly.

be ordered from Miele’s Technical
Service Department.
– A built-in swivel connector allowing
the drain hose to be routed in any
direction.
– A built-in mechanical non-return
valve on the discharge side to pre-
vent waste water from flowing back

Venting the drainage system
Additional note
If the dishwasher drain hose is con-
nected to a floor drain or to a drain
pipe that is less than 8" (20 cm)
above the floor, the drain must be
vented. Otherwise the water inside the
dishwasher may siphon out during the
wash program.
Since all Miele dishwashers are
equipped with an odor trap and non-
return valve, the drain hose can be
connected directly to the drain pipe as
illustrated.
If plumbing codes require an external
air gap on the discharge side of the
dishwasher, the following requirements
must be met:
To vent the drain:
^ Open the dishwasher door and
remove the lower basket.
– No part of the drain hose should be
higher than 39" (1 m).
– If installed horizontally, the drain
hose can be up to 12 ft (3.5 m) long.
If the drain hose is angled upwards
in any way, it cannot be longer than
5 ft (1.5 m).
– The drain connection should be
made as close as possible to the
dishwasher.
– The internal diameter (7/8" or 22 mm)
of the drain hose should not be
reduced at any point.
^ Cut off the vent cap located at the
right rear of the triple filter system, as
illustrated.

14. Install the toekick
If the door panel hits the toekick when
the dishwasher door is opened, the
toekick must be cut shorter or recessed
deeper.
For installations using a continuous
toekick or a cabinet matching toekick
Note:
Before installing the toekick, measure-
ments must be taken to ensure that the
toekick will not interfere with the com-
plete opening of the dishwasher door.
If a decorative or flush mount toekick is
desired, and (R) is less than 3/4"
(19 mm), other modifications, such as
beveling the top rear edge of the
toekick, may be necessary.
It is extremely important that the
toekick is removable in case service
is needed.
The door panel overhang (P), and
toekick depth of recess (R), determine
the maximum dishwasher toekick
height (H).
If (H) is equal to or less than the toekick
height of the adjoining cabinets, no
interference will exist, provided that (R)
is at least 3/4" (19 mm).

Installation
The included toekick will fit without
modification if the machine is set to its
maximum height and the toekick is re-
cessed as far as possible (4" / 10 cm).
If the machine height is less than maxi-
mum, or if the toekick is not recessed 4"
(10 cm), the toekick must be shortened.
^ Screw the toekick onto the installed
brackets, with the cutting lines to-
wards the top, and pull out evenly
and slowly until it aligns with the
toekick of the adjoining cabinets.
The toekick can not be pushed
back in once it has been extended.
It must be unscrewed, so that the
tension on the spring clips can be
released. The brackets can then
be pushed in, and the toekick reat-
tached.
The rear of the toekick has two cutting
lines.
