6 This dishwasher conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material damage. Please observe the installation sheet and read the operating instructions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using it for the first time. They both contain important information on its installation, safety, use and maintenance. This is to protect yourself from injury and prevent damage to the dishwasher. In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the chapter on installing the dishwasher as well as the safety instructions and warnings. Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these instructions. Keep the installation sheet and the operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.

7 Appropriate use  This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments.  This dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use.  This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 4000 m above sea level.  This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted.  The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

8 Safety with children  Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the dishwasher unless they are constantly supervised.  Children aged 8 and older may only use the dishwasher without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner. Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.  Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the dishwasher unsupervised.  Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher. Never allow children to play with the dishwasher. There is a danger that children might shut 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! Whilst playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head and risk suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.  Keep children away from detergents. Detergents cause severe skin burns and severe eye damage. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. It is therefore important to keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Detergent residues could still be present in the dishwasher. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any detergents.

9 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, check it for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.  The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a Miele authorised technician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate or lack of earthing system (e.g. electric shock).  Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.  The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable socket and plug (e.g. a switched socket and fused 3- pin plug in the UK). It must not be hard-wired. The electrical 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 behind the dishwasher because the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.  The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a hob. The high temperatures radiated by hobs could damage the dishwasher below. For the same reason, the appliance must not be installed next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters etc., not normally found in a kitchen.

10  Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the appliance to the mains. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.  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 mechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger whilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on the model) is active. 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). 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.  Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply using a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead.  The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).  Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. 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.

11  The plastic housing of the water connection contains a solenoid 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 Waterproof system offers protection from water damage, provided that the following conditions are met: - Installation has been carried out correctly - The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where this is noticeably required - The stopcock 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 call your Miele dealer.  While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated.  We recommend replacing defective components with original spare parts. If original Miele spare parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid.  During installation, maintenance and repair work, the dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply (switch it off and withdraw the plug from the socket).

12  If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a special cable of the same type (available from Miele). For safety reasons this work must be carried out by a Miele authorised technician only. Correct installation  The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with the supplied installation sheet.  Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher. Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/being cut. Wear protective gloves.  The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure problem-free operation.  In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop that 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 set and observe the installation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit tipping over.  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). It is also important that the door cannot fall open. The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door springs. If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact your Miele dealer. The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the factory fitted door springs is 10–12 kg (depending on model).

13 Correct use  Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Risk of explosion.  Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.  Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could injure yourself on the open door or trip over it.  Do not sit or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.  Crockery 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.  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 damage to the reservoir.  Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or liquid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.  Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Detergent will damage the water softener.  Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen salt for reactivation. Other salts may contain insoluble additives that can impair the functioning of the water softener.

14  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 basket will come out cleaner and drier.  Plastic items that 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. If it is not, wipe it until dry. The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.  Please observe the information given in the “Technical data” chapter 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.  Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for 15 years following the discontinuation of your dishwasher. Transport  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 cables.

The different dishwasher models will be named as follows: normal = dishwasher measuring 80.5 cm high (built-in appliance) or 84.5 cm high (freestanding appliance) XXL = dishwasher measuring 84.5 cm high (built-in appliance).

17 Disposal of the packing material The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Disposal of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste. Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your Miele dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

18 Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that the dishwasher has been used previously. Opening the door  Pull the handle to open the door. If the door is opened during operation all wash functions are automatically interrupted.  Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation, only open the door with extreme caution. Closing the door  Push the baskets right in.  Then raise the door up, and push until it clicks into position.  Risk of crushing due to the door closing. When closing the door, you are at risk of shutting your fingers in it. Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.

19 Water softener In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and on the inner surfaces of the appliance. Mains water with a water 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 12.6 mmol/l (70 °dH – German scale). 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 “Detergent – Active ingredients”). - You should programme the dishwasher 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). 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 The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 2.5 mmol/l (14 °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.

20 Displaying and setting the water hardness  Open the door.  Switch the dishwasher off with the  button, if it is switched on.  Press the  button in and, whilst holding it in, switch the dishwasher on using the  button. Keep the  button pressed in for at least 4 seconds until the  indicator light comes on. If this does not happen, start the procedure from the beginning again.  Press the  programme selection button 2 times. The top left indicator light will flash rapidly 2 times at intervals. The value set for the water hardness is shown as a figure after  in the time display.   4 will start flashing in the time display. A water hardness of 14 °dH is set.  Use the  button to set the water hardness value in your area. The dosage amount increases each time you press the button. When the highest value is reached, the setting starts again from the beginning. The setting is now saved.  Switch the dishwasher off with the  button.

21 Dishwasher salt In order to maintain the water softener’s functions, the water softener must be reactivated regularly. Reactivation occurs automatically every ninth programme sequence. At the start of the next programme, an additional 4.4 l of water is required for this process. Energy consumption increases by 0.015 kWh and the programme is extended by 3 minutes. The above only applies to the ECO programme at a water hardness of 2.5 mmol/l (14 °dH – German scale). For other programmes and water hardness levels, the frequency of reactivation will differ. 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 “Detergent – Active ingredients”). 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 “Before using for the first time – Displaying and setting the water hardness”).  Damage to the water softener from detergent. Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener. Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.  Damage caused by using unsuitable salts. Some types of salt may contain insoluble components which can cause the water softener to malfunction. Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen salt for reactivation. 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.

22 Filling the salt reservoir Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 l of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used once, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir.  Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.  Danger 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 in order to replenish the salt.  Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2 l of water (first use only).  Place the funnel provided over 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.  Clean off salt residues from around the salt reservoir opening. Next, screw the salt reservoir cap on again firmly.  Immediately after filling the salt reservoir and each time you remove the salt container cap, run the  65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the  Express programme option selected without a load in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.

23 Refilling the salt  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 load items. Each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, you must run the  65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the  Express programme option selected without any load items in the dishwasher. This will dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet. 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. The salt refill indicator will be switched off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – German scale).

24 Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase, and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the container and the amount set is dispensed automatically.  Washing-up liquid or detergent can cause damage. Washing-up liquid and detergent can damage the rinse aid container. Only fill it with rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Alternatively, you could use liquid citric acid at a concentration of up to 10 %. The resulting rinsing and drying quality on the crockery will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.  Risk of acid damage. The dishwasher can be damaged by high concentrations of acid. Under no circumstances should you use citric acid with a higher acid content. If you only ever wish to use combination products in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid. However, for optimum rinsing and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add dishwasher salt and rinse aid separately. 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.

25 Adding rinse aid  Press the yellow button  on the lid of the rinse aid container. The lid will spring open.  Fill with rinse aid until the filling level indicator (arrow) changes to a dark colour while the door is horizontally open. The rinse aid container holds approximately 110 ml.  Close the lid firmly until you hear it click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid container during a programme.  Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents excess foam developing during the next programme. Filling the rinse aid container When the refill reminder  Rinse aid appears in the display, the container contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3 programmes only.  Refill with rinse aid in plenty of time. The rinse aid refill reminder will disappear. 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”).

26 Setting the rinse aid dosage You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results. The rinse aid dosage can be set from 0 to 6 ml. 3 ml is the factory default setting. The rinse aid dosage can turn out to be higher than the set value due to the automatic adjustment of the programme. If spots appear on crockery and glassware: - Increase the rinse aid dosage. If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and glassware: - Decrease the rinse aid dosage.  Open the door.  Switch the dishwasher off with the  button, if it is switched on.  Press the  button in and, whilst holding it in, switch the dishwasher on using the  button. Keep the  button pressed in for at least 4 seconds until the  indicator light comes on. If this does not happen, start the procedure from the beginning again.  Press the  programme selection button 3 times. The top left indicator light will flash rapidly 3 times at intervals. The dosage set will appear in the time display after .   will start flashing in the time display. Setting 3 is set.  Use the  button to select the required setting. The dosage amount increases each time you press the button. When the highest value is reached, the setting starts again from the beginning. The setting is now saved.  Switch the dishwasher off with the  button.

27 Economical dishwashing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips: - Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing by hand. - There is no need to pre-wash items under running water, and this 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 dishwashing 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 overview”). - 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 crockery 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. - 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 energy with a circulation system. If the water is heated by electricity, we would recommend connection to cold water.

28 General information Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to pre-wash items under running water.  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. Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, observing the following notes: - Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other items where they will cover one another. - 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, pots, etc. must be inverted in the basket. - Tall and narrow hollow items, such as glasses, should be placed in the middle 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 ideally be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely. - The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. Test for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms. - 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). Some foods may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup. These dyes can discolour plastic items in the dishwasher if large quantities of these foods are in contact with the crockery inside the appliance. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration. Washing silverware can also cause plastic items to discolour.

29 Items not suitable for dishwashers: - Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher. - 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. - Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items: these may discolour or become dull. - 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. Silver Silver that has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolour. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine and marinades. Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or spotted at the end of a programme, where water has not run off smoothly. Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.  Damage due to caustic alkaline detergents. Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease filters of cooker hoods) 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. Tip: When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-proof if you want to wash them in the dishwasher. Glass care - Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing in the dishwasher. When washing delicate glassware in the dishwasher, ensure that only a special glass-care programme with very low temperatures is selected (see “Programme overview”). This will reduce the risk of clouding. - Purchase glassware that is dishwasher-safe (e.g. Riedel glassware). - Use detergents with glass protective additives.

30 Upper basket See the “Loading the dishwasher” chapter, “Loading examples” section 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 during 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.  Long items such as soup ladles and mixing spoons should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket. Loading the FlexCare cup rack You can put cups, small bowls and flat crockery on the FlexCare cup rack. Glasses can be arranged along the cup rack so they sit securely during the programme.  Lower the cup rack to do so.  Raise the cup rack upwards to make room for tall items.

31 Adjusting the FlexCare cup rack You can set the height and depth of the cup rack at 2 different levels so that it can accommodate larger cups and so that taller crockery can be placed underneath it.  Pull the cup rack upwards and click it into the desired position (see arrow).

32 Adjust the upper basket In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the lower or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on three levels with 2 cm between each level. The upper basket can also be set at an angle so that water can run off freely from recesses. Make sure, however, that the basket can slide smoothly in and out of the wash cabinet.  Pull out the upper basket. To raise the upper basket:  Lift the basket up until it clicks into place. To lower the upper basket:  Pull upwards on the levers at either side of the upper basket.  Adjust the basket to the desired height and then push the levers securely back down into position. When adjusting the upper basket, make sure it does not block the middle spray arm.

33 Lower basket See the “Loading the dishwasher” chapter, “Loading examples” section for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. Loading the lower basket  Place larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls etc., in the lower basket. Glasses, cups and small plates and saucers can also be placed in the lower basket. Loading the MultiComfort zone The rear section of the lower basket is used for washing cups, glasses, plates and pots and pans.  Place very large plates in the middle of the lower basket. Tip: When tilted, plates up to 35 cm in diameter can be accommodated. Lowering the spikes The rows of spikes at the front are used for washing plates, soup bowls, platters, dessert bowls and saucers. Both right-hand rows of spikes can be lowered to make more room for large items such as pots, pans and serving dishes.  Press the yellow lever downwards , and then lower the rows of spikes .

34 Cutlery tray/cutlery basket (depending on model) See “Loading the dishwasher – Loading examples” for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery.  Load the cutlery into the cutlery tray or into the cutlery basket (depending on the 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. Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.  If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, then lay them the other way round. Arrange tall items (such as cake servers) so that they do not block the upper spray arm.

35 Loading the cutlery basket 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 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.  Fit the insert onto the cutlery basket if required.  Place cutlery into the insert with the handles facing downwards.  Arrange them evenly along the insert.

unsuitable detergents. Detergents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the load. Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. 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. - Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein. - Oxygen-based bleaching agents to remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee, tomato sauce). Most dishwasher detergents are mildly alkaline and contain enzymes and oxygen-based bleaching agents. There are different types of detergent: - Powder and liquid gel detergents. These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the size of the load and level of soiling. - Tab detergents. These are suitable for most levels of soiling. As well as the usual detergents, combination products are also available. These contain rinse aid and water softener (dishwasher salt). Only use these combination detergents for the water hardness levels recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. The cleaning and drying performance of these combination detergents can vary greatly. For optimum cleaning and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add salt and rinse aid separately.

detergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep children away from detergents. Detergent residues could still be present in the dishwasher. 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). Detergent dispensing The detergent compartment holds a maximum of 50 ml. 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. Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results. Some tabs may not dissolve completely when the programme QuickPowerWash is used.

of the detergent compartment. The lid will spring open. The lid will also open at the end of a programme sequence.  Add the detergent to the detergent compartment.  Push the lid shut until you hear it click into place. 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.  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 overview”).

 Open the stopcock, if it is closed.  Open the door.  Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely.  Press the  button. The indicator light for the programme selected will come on. Selecting a programme Choose your programme according to the type of crockery and the degree of soiling. The different programmes and their uses are described under “Programme overview”.  Use the programme selection button  to select the programme you want. The indicator light for the programme selected will come on. The programme duration will appear in hours and minutes in the display. You can now select programme options (see “Programme options”). If any programme options are selected, the appropriate indicator lights will also light up.

time The duration of the programme selected appears in hours and minutes in the display before the programme begins. If the door is opened during the programme sequence, the time left until the end of the programme is displayed. The displayed duration may vary for the same programme. It is influenced by, for example, the temperature of the incoming water, the reactivation cycle of the water softener, the detergent type and the amount of crockery and how soiled it is. When a programme is selected for the first time, the display will show the average running time for a cold water connection. The running times shown in the “Programme overview” chapter refer to standard test loads and temperatures. For each programme sequence, the control module calculates the programme running time according to the temperature of the water taken into the dishwasher and the size of the load. Starting the programme  Start the programme by closing the door.  Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation, only open the door with extreme caution.

The buzzers might sound at the end of the programme. The programme has ended when : shows in the display. The drying fan may continue to run for a few minutes at the end of the programme.  Risk of damage due to steam. Steam from the dishwasher could damage the edges of delicate worktops when you open the door at the end of the programme if the fan is no longer running. At the end of a programme, you can either open the door fully (do not leave it partially open) or leave it closed until you are ready to unload the crockery. Energy management To save energy, the dishwasher will switch off automatically 10 minutes after the last time a button is pressed or after the end of a programme. You can switch the dishwasher back on again with the  button. The dishwasher will not switch itself off whilst a programme is running or if there is a fault.

 Open the door.  The dishwasher can be switched off at any time using the  button. Switching the dishwasher off during a programme stops the programme. You can also do this to stop an ongoing timer.  Risk of damage from leaking water. Water leakage can cause damage. If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, the stopcock should be closed as a precaution. Unloading the crockery Crockery tends to break and chip more easily when it is hot. Allow the crockery to cool until it is comfortable enough to handle before unloading the dishwasher. If you open the door fully after switching off, the crockery will cool much faster.  First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket and finally the cutlery tray. This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and cutlery tray from falling onto the crockery in the lower basket.

A programme will be interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened.  Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation, only open the door with extreme caution. Cancelling or changing a programme If a programme is cancelled, important programme stages may be missed. A programme should only be cancelled in the first few minutes of the programme cycle. If a programme has already started and you wish to cancel it, proceed as follows:  Open the door.  Switch the dishwasher off with the  button. If you would like to select another programme:  Switch the dishwasher on again with the  button.  If you have dispensed detergent manually, check whether the detergent compartment is still closed. If the lid is already open, fill it with detergent again and close the lid.  Select the programme you want, and then start it by shutting the door.

60 Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4–6 months). In this way, faults and problems can be avoided.  Damage due to unsuitable cleaning agents. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the external surfaces. Only use cleaning agents formulated for use on the relevant surfaces. Cleaning the wash cabinet The wash cabinet is largely self- cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used. If, despite this, limescale or grease deposits build up in the cabinet, these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner (available from your Miele dealer). Follow the instructions on the product packaging. 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 per month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odours from developing.  Clean the filters in the wash cabinet regularly.

61 Cleaning the door and the door seal The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door cannot be reached and cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a result, mould can develop here.  Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits.  Wipe off any food or drink residues that may have dripped onto the sides of dishwasher door. Cleaning the control panel  The control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth. 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. It is therefore best to remove any soiling immediately.  Clean the appliance front with a clean soft sponge and a solution of warm water and washing-up liquid. After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth without detergent can also be used. To avoid damaging the external surfaces, do not use the following: - Detergents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides - Detergents containing descaling agents - Abrasive detergents, e.g. scouring powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones - Detergents containing solvents - Stainless steel cleaning agents - Dishwasher cleaner - Oven cleaner - Glass cleaning agents - Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges that have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents - Eraser stain remover blocks - Sharp metal scrapers - Wire wool - Steam cleaners

62 Cleaning the spray arms Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm nozzles and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected regularly (approx. every 2– 4 months).  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. When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.  Switch the dishwasher off. Removing the upper and middle spray arms  Take out the cutlery tray (if your dishwasher is fitted with one).  Push the upper spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm by rotating the screw thread anti-clockwise.  Rotate the screw thread of the middle spray arm clockwise  (see diagram) and remove the spray arm . Removing the lower spray arm  Remove the lower basket.  Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm anti-clockwise  and pull the spray arm upwards to remove .

63 Cleaning the spray arms  Use a pointed object to push food particles into the spray arm nozzles.  Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under running water. Refitting the spray arms  Refit the upper and middle spray arms.  Refit the lower spray arm and ensure that the filter combination lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.  Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol .  Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely.  Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter combination. Without filters, coarse 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.

64 Checking the filters in the wash cabinet 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.  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. When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system. The filters can become blocked by soiling that collects over time. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.  Monitor the condition of the filter combination regularly and clean it if necessary. Cleaning the filters  Switch the dishwasher off.  Remove the lower spray arm (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the spray arms” section).  Before removing the filter combination, remove any coarse soiling to prevent it from entering the circulation system.  Remove the filter combination.

65  In order to clean the inside of the filter, pull the microfilter on the plastic ring downwards and away from the filter combination.  Rinse all the parts under running water. If necessary, use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling.  Insert the microfilter back into the filter combination.  Refit the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.  Refit the lower spray arm to the filter combination using the screw thread.  Rotate the screw thread clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol .  Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter combination. Without filters, coarse 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.

66 Cleaning the water inlet filter A filter is incorporated in the screw thread to protect the water inlet valve. If the filter is soiled, insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet.  Risk of electric shock from mains voltage. The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.  Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains. To do this, turn off the dishwasher, switch off at the socket and remove the plug.  Close the stopcock.  Unscrew the water inlet valve.  Remove the seal from the screw thread.  Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter slat and remove the filter.  Rinse the filter under running water.  Reassemble in reverse order. Screw the screw thread securely back onto the stopcock. Slowly open the stopcock. If water drips out, tighten the screw thread. Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning.

67 Cleaning the drain pump If water remains in the wash cabinet after the end of a programme, the water has not been pumped away. The drain pump may be blocked by foreign objects. These are easy to remove.  Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains. To do this, turn off the dishwasher, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug.  Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the filters”).  Scoop the water out of the cabinet using a suitable small container or utensil.  Press the catch of the drain pump cover inwards .  Tip the cover inwards until it is released .  Rinse the cover thoroughly under running water and remove all foreign objects.

68 The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover.  Risk of injury from glass splinters. It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump. Take care when cleaning the drain pump.  Carefully remove all foreign objects from the drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.  Refit the cover by placing it down vertically from above. Ensure that the catch engages correctly.  Damage due to incorrect cleaning. The components are delicate and can be damaged during cleaning. Take care when cleaning the drain pump.

73 General problems with the dishwasher Issue Cause and remedy The indicator lights and display are dark. The dishwasher has switched off automatically to save energy.  Switch the dishwasher on again with the  button. Detergent residue is left in the detergent compartment at the end of a programme. The detergent compartment was still damp when detergent was added.  Only add the detergent when the detergent compartment is dry. The detergent compartment lid cannot be closed. Residual detergent is blocking the catch.  Remove the residual detergent. At the end of a programme there is a film of moisture on the inside of the door and possibly on the interior cabinet walls. This is part of the normal function of the drying system. The moisture will dissipate after a short while. Water remains in the wash cabinet at the end of a programme. Before rectifying the problem:  Switch the dishwasher off. The filter combination in the wash cabinet is clogged.  Clean the filter combination (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the filters” section). The drain pump is blocked.  Clean the drain pump (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the drain pump” section). The drain hose is kinked.  Remove any kinks from the drain hose.

74 Noises Issue Cause and remedy Knocking noise in the wash cabinet A spray arm is knocking against a wash item.  Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash items that are obstructing the spray arm. Rattling noise in the wash cabinet Wash items are insecure in the wash cabinet.  Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash items so that they sit securely. There is a foreign object (e.g. glass shard) in the drain pump.  Remove the foreign object from the drain pump (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the drain pump” section). Knocking noise in the water pipes This may be caused by the on-site installation or the cross-section of the piping.  However, this will not affect the functioning of the dishwasher in any way. If in doubt, contact a suitably qualified plumber.

75 Unsatisfactory washing result Issue Cause and remedy The wash items are not clean. The wash items were not loaded correctly.  See notes in the “Loading the dishwasher” chapter. The programme was not powerful enough.  Select a more powerful programme (see “Programme overview” chapter). Not enough detergent was dispensed during manual detergent dispensing.  Use more detergent or change the detergent you are using. Items are blocking the path of the spray arms.  Carry out a rotation check and if needed rearrange the items so that the spray arms can rotate freely. The filter combination in the wash cabinet is not clean or was incorrectly fitted. This may have caused the spray arm jets to become blocked.  Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly.  Clean the spray arm jets if necessary (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the spray arms” section). There are smears on glassware and cutlery. There is a bluish sheen on the surface of glassware. The film can be wiped off. The rinse aid dosage is set too high.  Reduce the dosage (see “Before using for the first time – Rinse aid”).

76 Issue Cause and remedy The crockery is not dry or cutlery and glasses are flecked. The rinse aid dosage is too low or the rinse aid container is empty.  Replenish the rinse aid container, increase the dosage or change the brand of rinse aid (see “Before using for the first time – Rinse aid”). The crockery was taken out of the wash cabinet too soon.  Leave the crockery in longer (see “Operation – Unloading the dishwasher”). The duration of the drying phase for the selected programme is not sufficient for the crockery.  Select the Extra dry programme option if available (see “Programme options – Extra dry”). You have used combination products that have insufficient drying performance.  Switch to another detergent, or replenish the rinse aid (see “Before using for the first time – Rinse aid”). Glassware has a brown or blue tinge. The film cannot be wiped off. Ingredients from the detergent have formed a deposit.  Switch to another detergent straight away. Glassware is dull and discoloured. The film cannot be wiped off. The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surface has altered.  No remedy. Purchase glassware that is dishwasher-proof. Tea or lipstick stains have not been completely removed. The wash temperature of the selected programme was too low.  Select a programme with a higher main wash temperature. The bleaching effect of the detergent used is too low.  Switch to another detergent.

77 Issue Cause and remedy Plastic items are discoloured. Natural dyes, e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or ketchup may be the cause. The amount of detergent used or its bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with natural dyes.  Use more detergent (see “Detergent”). Parts that are already discoloured will not revert to their original colour. White residue is visible on the crockery. Clouding has occurred on glassware and cutlery. The film can be wiped off. The rinse aid dosage is set too low.  Increase the dosage (see “Before using for the first time – Rinse aid”). There is no salt in the salt reservoir.  Fill the salt reservoir (see “Before using for the first time – Dishwasher salt”). The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on correctly.  Replace the cap, making sure that it screws back on correctly. Unsuitable combination detergents were used.  Switch to another detergent. If using tabs or powder detergent, do not choose combination products and ensure you refill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid. The water softener is programmed to too low a water hardness level.  Programme the water softener to a higher water hardness level (see “Before using for the first time – Water softener”).

78 Issue Cause and remedy There are rust stains on cutlery. The affected items are not corrosion-resistant.  No remedy. Purchase cutlery that is dishwasher-safe. A programme was not run after dishwasher salt was added. Traces of salt have got into the normal wash cycle.  Always run the  65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the  Express option selected and without any load items in the dishwasher immediately after adding dishwasher salt. The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on correctly.  Replace the cap, making sure that it screws back on correctly.

Provided that your dishwasher has been installed correctly, the Miele Waterproof system will protect you from water damage throughout its lifetime. Water inlet  Danger to health due to wash water. Water in the dishwasher is not 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 incoming water 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. The dishwasher may be connected to cold or hot water (up to max. 65 °C) supplies. If energy-saving water heating sources such as solar energy circulation systems are used, we recommend connecting to the hot water connection. This saves both time and electrical energy costs. Hot water is used in all programmes. The water inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long. A 1.5 m long, flexible metal extension hose (tested to 14,000 kPa/140 bar) is available as an optional accessory from your Miele dealer.

required for the connection. If a stopcock is not available, a qualified plumber should connect the dishwasher to the mains water supply. A non-return valve is not required. The appliance meets the requirements of the applicable DIN standards. The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50 and 1000 kPa. If the water-connection pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted.  Risk of damage from leaking water. The connection point is subject to mains water pressure. Water leaking from it can cause damage. You should therefore open the stopcock slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the seal and screw thread if appropriate.  Risk of damage due to excessive pressure. A brief increase in the water pressure can damage components of the dishwasher. This dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.  Risk of electric shock from mains voltage. There are electrical components in the water inlet hose. The inlet hose must not be shortened or damaged in any way (see illustration).

fitted with a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the appliance via the drain hose. The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm. The drain hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4 m and the delivery head no higher than 1 m. If the hose is to be directly fitted to the drainage outlet on site, use the hose clip supplied (see 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 blocked. The drain hose must not be shortened. Lay the drain hose so that it does not kink and is not being subjected to pressure or tension.  Risk of damage from leaking water. Leaking water can cause damage. After commissioning, make sure that the water is not leaking.

If the on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide path for the lower 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.  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.
