IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This dishwasher complies with all current local and national 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 the installation, safety, use, and maintenance of the machine. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the dishwasher. Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the section on installing the dishwasher as well as the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by noncompliance with these instructions. Keep the installation sheet and the operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
6

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Appropriate use This dishwasher is intended for use in the home and in similar en-
vironments, for example ­ in shops, offices, and similar work settings ­ on agricultural estates ­ by guests in hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and other typical home settings. This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use. This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 13,000 ft (4,000 m) above sea level. This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic dishes and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
7

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety with children Children must be kept away from the dishwasher unless they are
constantly supervised. Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance. 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. Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children. Keep 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 machine. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any detergents.
8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Technical safety Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician. Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher. The electrical safety of the dishwasher can only be guaranteed when correctly grounded. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a qualified service technician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate or lack of grounding system (e.g., electric shock). Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized with the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with national and local codes. The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. Where the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact, 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.
9

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the dishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be installed next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters etc., not normally found in a kitchen. Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate (fuse rating, frequency, and voltage) match the 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 electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified service technician. Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply until it has been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door springs. The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger while 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. Power bars and extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (risk of fire). Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply using a power bar or an extension cord. The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g., on a ship).
10

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of frost. 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. The built-in Waterproof system offers reliable protection against water damage if the following conditions are met: – Installation has been carried out correctly. – The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced in
case of noticeable damage. – The water-supply faucet is turned off during longer absences from
the home (e.g., while on vacation). The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is turned off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to the electricity supply. The water-connection pressure needs to be between 7.25 and 145 psi (50 and 1,000 kPa). A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, turn it off at the electricity supply immediately and contact your Miele dealer or Miele Customer Service. The manufacturer’s warranty may be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired to Miele authorized service standards. We recommend replacing defective components with original parts. If original Miele 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 electricity supply (turn it off and withdraw the plug from the socket).
11

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific cord of the same type (available from Miele Customer Service). For safety reasons, this must only be done by Miele Customer Service or a service technician authorized by Miele. Do not place the dishwasher on the water inlet hose. The water inlet hose must be free of kinks and able to move freely after installation. Do not install the water inlet hose or the power cord next to a heat source, such as a hot water pipe. Do not expose the water inlet hose or the power cord to household cleaners, vapors or other corrosive substances (such as chloride). Damage to the power cord or water inlet hose can lead to electric shocks or water damage. Check the water inlet hose or the power cord for leaks and damage after installation and every 6 months thereafter. Have the water inlet hose or the power cord replaced if there are signs of damage. The same applies to the drain hose. This dishwasher is supplied with a special bulb (depending on the model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g., in terms of temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement bulbs may only be installed by a Miele authorized technician or by Miele Customer Service. 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 way in which the dishwasher is installed must not cause doors to be blocked when the door is automatically opened.
12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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 countertop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry. A sink in the adjacent cabinet of the dishwasher must be carefully sealed. Regularly check for leaks to avoid damage to the dishwasher. The dishwasher must only be built into a tall cabinet if additional safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance in a tall cabinet, please use the tall cabinet installation kit and observe the installation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the cabinet 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 the Miele Customer Service. The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the factory-installed door springs is 22-26.5 lb (10­12 kg) depending on model. Correct use Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. There is a danger of explosion.
13

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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 opened door or trip over it. Do not sit, stand, or lean on the opened door. The dishwasher could tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher. Dishes may be very hot at the end of the program. 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 liquid dish soap. 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 rinse aid 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. Dishwasher detergent will damage the softener assembly. Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt. Other types of salt may contain insoluble components which can cause the water softener to malfunction.
14

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles downwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle down in the cutlery basket will come out cleaner and drier. Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape. If you use the timer option, the cleaning agent compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary. The cleaning agent will clump together if the cleaning agent compartment is not dry, and this may mean that it is not fully rinsed out. Accessories and 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 a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your dishwasher. Transport Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher. Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults. If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely fasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses, and power cords.

The program selected will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate sensor button will be illuminated. The display will then show the estimated program duration for the program selected.

26

Before using for the first time

Reactivation salt
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 dishes and on the inner surfaces of the machine. Domestic water with a hardness level higher than 5 gpg (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 73 gpg (70 °dH ­ German scale). In order to be reactivated, the water softener requires reactivation salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 22 gpg, or < 21 °dH ­ German scale), reactivation salt may not be required if combination detergents are being used (see “Active ingredients” under “Detergents”).

If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 5 gpg (5 °dH ­ German scale), you do not need to add reactivation salt. The salt refill indicator will automatically turn off after the water hardness has been set accordingly (see “Water hardness” under “Settings”).
Damage to the water softener
from detergent. Dishwasher detergent will damage the softener assembly. Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
Damage caused by using unsuit-
able salts. Some types of salt may contain insoluble components which can cause the water softener to malfunction. Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt.

If you only ever use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you can turn off both refill reminders if you wish (see “Refill reminders” under “Settings”). Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid. Turn the refill reminders back on if required.

27

Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 1/2 gallon (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. Salt solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items. The cap should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir.
Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 1/2 gallon (2 l) of water (first use only).

Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with reactivation salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds up to 4.4 lb (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 reservoir cap, run the QuickIntenseWash program with the Express program option selected without wash items in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.

Before using for the first time

Refilling the salt Fill the salt reservoir with reactivation
salt when Refill salt appears in the display.
Confirm with OK. The salt refill indicator will go out.
Danger of corrosion due to saline
solution. Salt solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items. Each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, you must run the QuickIntenseWash program with the Express program option selected without wash 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 indicator may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. In this case, still confirm the message with OK. The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 5 gpg (5 °dH ­ German scale).

29

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water does not cling and leave marks on dishes during the drying phase, and helps dishes dry faster after they have been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the container and the amount set is dispensed automatically.
Liquid dish soap or detergent
can cause damage. Liquid dish soap and detergent can damage the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill it with rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.
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 detergent products in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid. However, for optimum rinsing and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add reactivation salt and rinse aid separately. If you only ever use combination detergent products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can turn off both refill reminders if you wish (see “Refill reminders” under “Settings”). Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid. Turn the refill reminders back on if required.

30

Before using for the first time

Adding rinse aid
Press the yellow button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir.
The lid will spring open.

Close the lid firmly until you hear it click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a program.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents excess foam developing during the next program.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best wash results (see “Rinse aid” under “Settings”).
Filling the rinse-aid reservoir When Add rinse aid appears in the display, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2­3 programs only. Add rinse aid in plenty of time. Confirm with OK. The rinse-aid refill indicator will go out.

Fill with rinse aid until the filling level indicator (arrow) changes to a dark color while the door is horizontally open.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approximately 110 ml.

Water hardness
Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener. – The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed 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 10-16 gpg (10­15 °dH), always program the dishwasher to the higher value (16 gpg (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 = 1.04 gpg = 0.18 mmol/l = 1.78 °fH

Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your machine by following these tips: – Washing in a dishwasher generally
uses less water and energy than washing by hand. – There is no need to pre- rinse items under running water, and this unnecessarily increases water and energy consumption. – 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 a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed (see “Program overview”). – Select the Normal program for energy-saving dishwashing. This program is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption for cleaning dishes with a normal level of soiling. – If you have a hot water connection, choose the Energy Saver program (see “Water intake” under “Installation”). The wash water will not be heated up during this program. – Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on detergent dosage.

– If you are manually dosing the detergent, reduce the amount of detergent by 1/3 when using powder or liquid detergent if the baskets are only half full.

46

Loading the dishwasher

General information
Remove coarse food residues from dishes. There is no need to pre-rinse 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.
Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed: – Do not place dishes and utensils in-
side other items where they will cover one another. – Load the dishes 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 baskets. – Tall, narrow, hollow items such as champagne glasses should be placed in the center of the basket rather than in the corners. This ensures the hollow items are more easily accessed by the water jets. – Concave items such as mugs or bowls should be placed at an angle so that the water can run off.

– 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 3D MultiFlex Tray or cutlery basket (depending on model).
Some foods such as carrots, tomatoes, or ketchup may contain natural dyes. These dyes can discolor plastic items in the dishwasher if large quantities of these foods are in contact with the dishes inside the machine. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discoloration. Washing silverware can also cause plastic items to discolor.

47

Loading the dishwasher

Wash items not suitable for dishwashers: – Wooden cutlery and dishes or items
with wooden parts. These may discolor 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 aluminum items. These may discolor or become dull. – Colors 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 discolor. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish, and marinades. Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or spotted at the end of a program, where water has not run off smoothly. Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.

Damage due to caustic alkaline
detergents. Aluminum parts (e.g., the grease filters of ventilation 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). Aluminum components must not be cleaned in the dishwasher with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial detergents.
Tip: When purchasing new dishes and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasherproof 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 program with very low temperatures is selected (see “Program overview”). This will reduce the risk of clouding. – Purchase glassware that is dishwasher-safe (e.g., Riedel glassware). – Use detergents with glass protective additives.

Detergents

Active ingredients
Damage caused by using unsuit-
able cleaning agents. Cleaning agents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the wash items. Only use cleaning agents formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Modern cleaning agents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are: – Water softening complexing agents
to prevent limescale. – Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on
soiling. – Enzymes to break down starch and
loosen protein. – Oxygen-based bleaching agents to
remove colored stains (e.g., tea, coffee, tomato sauce). Most dishwasher cleaning agents are mildly alkaline and contain enzymes and oxygen-based bleaching agents.

There are different types of cleaning agent: – Powder and liquid gel cleaning
agents. These cleaning agents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the load size and the level of soiling. – Tab cleaning agents. These are suitable for most levels of soiling. As well as the usual cleaning agents, combination products are also available. These contain rinse aid and water softener (reactivation salt). Only use these combination cleaning agents for the water hardness levels recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. The cleaning and drying performance of these combination cleaning agents can vary greatly. Please make sure that if you stop using combination cleaning agents, you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid. Turn the refill reminders back on if required.
For optimum cleaning and drying results, use dishwasher cleaning agent and add salt and rinse aid separately.

Detergents

Risk of chemical burns from de-
tergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher 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 machine. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Do not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the program and activate the door safety lock (depending on model).

Detergent dispensing
There are 2 ways of dispensing the detergent. During automatic dispensing, the AutoDos function will automatically dispense the required amount of detergent for each program sequence once a PowerDisk has been inserted (see “Automatic dispensing/AutoDos” under “Detergent”). If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you can manually dispense the detergent into the detergent compartment. This means you will have to fill the required amount of detergent into the detergent compartment before each program (see “Manual detergent dispensing” under “Detergent”).

60

Detergents

Automatic dispensing/AutoDos
Before you can use AutoDos, you must insert a PowerDisk containing powder detergent into the PowerDisk compartment. One PowerDisk contains enough detergent for approx. 20 rinse cycles, depending on the chosen program.
PowerDisks are available to order directly from Miele’s online store, Miele Customer Service, or from your Miele dealer.
Risk of chemical burns from
residual detergent. Detergents have a caustic effect. This can cause health problems and damage to surfaces. If the AutoDos is used incorrectly or leaks, residual detergent may drip onto the floor area in front of the dishwasher. Always remove residual detergent from in front of the dishwasher immediately.

Activating AutoDos Turn the dishwasher on using the
sensor button. Before you first use AutoDos, remove
the transport lock from the PowerDisk compartment and dispose of it appropriately. Insert a PowerDisk (see “Inserting a PowerDisk” under “Automatic dispensing/AutoDos”). The AutoDos function will be activated automatically. The message AutoDos activated will appear on the display. This setting applies to all programs and you can change it at any time using the AutoDos sensor button.
If no program is started for 48 hours, the PowerDisk will automatically be rotated so that the detergent does not clump together. If this happens, the message Powder refreshing will be shown in the display when the dishwasher is turned on. No detergent will be dispensed.

61

Detergents
Inserting a PowerDisk Turn on the dishwasher before you replace the PowerDisk so that the dishwasher recognizes it. Only replace the PowerDisk when the message PowerDisk empty. Deactivate AutoDos with OK. appears.

Turn the AutoDos lid to and open it.
The message AutoDos lid open will appear on the display. Remove the empty PowerDisk.

If the arrows in the PowerDisk holder and in the viewing window are not pointing toward each other, remove the PowerDisk holder (see “Cleaning the AutoDos” under “Cleaning and care”).
Put the holder back into place so that the arrows point toward each other and the holder lies flat. When doing this, only touch the PowerDisk holder by the yellow tab in the middle. Do not touch the side tab.
Insert the new PowerDisk and press it evenly downward until it sits flush.

62

Detergents
The detergent powder must be dry so that it does not clump together. Do not fill the AutoDos system with any type of fluid. In order to ensure that the AutoDos works at its best, check it each time you replace the PowerDisk and clean it if needed (see “Cleaning the AutoDos” under “Cleaning and care”).
Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until the lid handle is directly below the symbol.
If the PowerDisk is not in the correct starting position, it will be rotated automatically and the AutoDos function will be activated. Wait until this procedure ends before you start a program.
The AutoDos lid must be closed to prevent damage to the AutoDos. Always close the AutoDos lid before you close the dishwasher door. Otherwise, the AutoDos may become damaged. Programs cannot start when the AutoDos lid is open.
63

Detergents

Manual detergent dispensing
Detergent must be manually dispensed if you have deactivated automatic dispensing using the AutoDos sensor button.

Adding detergent

Detergent dispensing The detergent compartment holds a maximum of 3 1/2″ tablespoons. There are marks in the detergent compartment to aid with dispensing: 1 1/4, 2 tablespoons (20, 30 ml). 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 recom-
mended by the manufacturer on the packaging. Unless directed otherwise, use one detergent tab or add 1 1/4 to 2 tablespoons (20 to 30 ml) of detergent to the detergent compartment, depending on the level of soiling of the dishware. If you use less than the recommended amount of detergent, the dishware may not get properly clean. Some tabs may not dissolve completely when the program QuickIntenseWash is used.

Press the yellow button on the lid of the detergent compartment.
The lid will spring open. The lid will also open at the end of a program.

Add the detergent to the detergent compartment.
Push the lid shut until you hear it click into place.

64

Detergents

The detergent must not cause the detergent-compartment lid to get stuck. This can prevent the lid from opening during the program. Do not overfill the detergent compartment.
If you wish, deactivate automatic dispensing/AutoDos.
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 programs that have a prerinse stage (see “Program overview”).

65

Operation

Turning on the dishwasher
Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely.
Close the door. Turn on the water supply if it is turned
off. Tap the sensor button.
If the dishwasher has been turned off for longer than 1 minute, you will need to hold the sensor button for a bit longer (wipe protection). The program selected will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate sensor button will be illuminated. Then the display will show the estimated duration for the selected program. The Start sensor button flashes.

Selecting a program
Choose your program according to the type of load and the degree of soiling. The different programs and their uses are described under Program overview. Touch the sensor button for the re-
quired program. The sensor button for the selected program will light up. Additional programs can be selected under More. To do so, touch the More sensor
button. The first of the additional programs will appear in the display. Use the sensor buttons in the
display to select the program you want. You can now select program options (see “Options”). If any program options are selected, the appropriate sensor buttons will also light up. If you want to control the dishwasher remotely using the Miele app (depending on model), you will first need to activate the Remote start option (see “Activate Remote start” under “Options”).

66

Operation

Display of program duration
The estimated duration of the selected program appears on the display before the program begins. During the program, the time left until the end of the program is displayed. Each program phase is indicated by a symbol:
Pre-rinse/Soak Main wash Interim rinse Final rinse Drying Finish
The displayed duration may vary for the same program. It is influenced by, for example, the temperature of the incoming water, the reactivation cycle of the water softener, the detergent type, the amount of dishware, and how soiled it is. When a program is selected for the first time, the display will show the average program duration for a cold water connection. The program durations shown under “Program overview” refer to standard test loads and temperatures. Each time a program is run, the control module calculates the program duration required depending on the temperature of the water taken into the dishwasher and the amount of dishes.

Starting a program
The dishwasher can only be started if the door is closed. Touch the Start sensor button.
If necessary, confirm the previously displayed message with OK. The program starts. The Start sensor button lights up.
During the course of the program, you can use OK to display the name of the program which is currently running.
Risk of scalding due to hot wa-
ter. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation, only open the door with extreme caution.

67

Operation

End of program
The audible signal might sound at the end of the program. The program has ended when the display shows the message Ready. In some programs, if the AutoOpen function is activated, the door will automatically open slightly (see “AutoOpen” under “Settings”). This improves the drying process.
The drying fan may continue to run for a few minutes at the end of the program.
Risk of damage due to steam.
Steam from the dishwasher could damage the edges of delicate countertops when you open the door at the end of the program if the blower is no longer running. If you have deactivated the automatic door-opening function (see “AutoOpen” under “Settings”), but would still like to open the door at the end of the program, then make sure that you open the door fully.

Energy management
To save energy, the dishwasher will turn off automatically 10 minutes after the last time a sensor button is pressed or after the end of a program. You can turn the dishwasher back on again with the sensor button. If the dishwasher has been turned off for longer than 1 minute, you will need to hold the sensor button for a bit longer (wipe protection).
The dishwasher will not turn itself off while a program is running or if there is a fault.

68

Operation

Turning off the dishwasher
The dishwasher can be turned off at any time using the sensor button.
Confirm the query Turn appliance off with OK.
Turning the dishwasher off during a program stops the program. You can also do this to stop an ongoing timer.
Risk of damage from leaking wa-
ter. Leaking water can cause damage. If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g., during vacations, the water shut-off valve should be turned off.

Unloading the dishwasher
Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them. The dishes will cool much faster if you open the door when the program has ended. First unload the lower basket, then
the upper basket, and finally the 3D MultiFlex Tray (if present). This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and 3D MultiFlex Tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

69

Operation
Interrupting a program
A program will be interrupted as soon as the door is opened. Close the door and press the Start
sensor button. The program will continue from the point at which it was interrupted.
Risk of scalding due to hot wa-
ter. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation, only open the door with extreme caution.

Canceling or changing a program
If a program is canceled, important program stages may be missed. A program should only be canceled in the first few minutes.
If a program has already started and you wish to cancel it, proceed as follows: Turn the dishwasher off using the
sensor button. Confirm the query Turn appliance off
with OK. If you would like to select another program: Turn the dishwasher back on using
the sensor 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 program you want, and then start it.

70

Options

Timer
The timer gives you several options for starting a program at a later time. The start or finish time of a program can be delayed. You can also use the EcoStart or SmartStart functions to benefit from cheaper energy rates at night.
During manual detergent dispensing, the detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this may mean it is not fully rinsed out. When using the timer function, make sure that the detergent compartment is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry with a cloth first, if necessary. Do not use any liquid detergents. These can leak out.
Danger to health due to deter-
gent. To prevent children coming into contact with dishwasher detergent: Do not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the program, i.e., before you activate the timer. Use the safety lock to secure the dishwasher door.

Activating the timer Turn the dishwasher on using the

Program options

Selecting program options
You can use program options to adjust the programs. To do this, you can select or deselect the program options before running the program. Turn the dishwasher on using the
sensor button. The Start sensor button flashes. Select a different program as re-
quired. Touch the sensor button for the pro-
gram option you want. The appropriate sensor button will light up when the program options are available for the selected program. If the program option is not compatible with the selected program, a message to this effect will appear in the display. In this instance, confirm the message
with OK. Press the Start sensor button to start
the program. The selected program option will remain active for that particular program until the setting is changed.

IntenseZone The IntenseZone program option increases cleaning performance in the lower basket. Energy consumption increases due to the extended wash duration in the lower basket and increased temperature.
Express The Express option reduces the program cycle time. In order to achieve optimum cleaning results, the temperature, and therefore the energy consumption, will increase with this option. The time by which the program cycle time is shortened varies according to the selected program. Selecting the Express option may take precedence over other selected options.
When used in combination with the QuickIntenseWash program, the Express option results in a rinse designed solely for the purpose of flushing out the wash cabinet to remove salt solution that leaked out after refilling the salt reservoir.

80

Cleaning and care

Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4­ 6 months). This helps to avoid faults and problems.
Damage due to unsuitable clean-
ing agents. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolor all 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. The frequent use of low-temperature wash programs increases the risk of contamination and odors inside the wash cabinet. Run the Pots & Pans program once per month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odors from developing. However, if residues such as limescale or grease have been deposited, use the Clean Machine program to clean the dishwasher (see “Additional programs ” under “Program overview”) with dishwasher cleaner (see “Clean Machine” under “Optional accessories”). Follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. Miele cleaning and care products are available to order from Miele Customer Service or from Miele’s online store. Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.

81

Cleaning and care

Hygiene cycle
The frequent use of low-temperature wash programs increases the risk of contamination and odors inside the wash cabinet. If you repeatedly use low- temperature programs, you should regularly run a high-temperature program. This is to prevent contamination and odors. You can activate or deactivate a Hygiene info message (see “Settings ­ Hygiene cycle”). If you deactivate this message, run the Intensive program once per month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odors from developing.

Cleaning the door and the door seal
The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a result, mold can develop here. 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 control panel
The control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth.

Cleaning the front of the machine

Damage due to soiling.
Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolor. 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 liquid dish soap. After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. A clean, damp microfiber cloth without detergent can also be used.

82

To avoid damaging the external surfaces, do not use the following: – cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids, or chloride – cleaning agents containing lime scale
remover – abrasive cleaning agents, such as
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones – cleaning agents containing solvents – stainless-steel cleaning agents – dishwasher cleaner – oven cleaner – glass cleaner – hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g., pot scourers, brushes, or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents – eraser sponges – sharp metal scrapers – steel wool – steam cleaners

Cleaning and care

Checking the filters in the wash cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil 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 program 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.

Cleaning the filters
Turn off the dishwasher. Remove the lower spray arm (see
“Cleaning the spray arms” under “Cleaning and care”). Before removing the filter combination, remove any coarse soiling to prevent it from entering 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. The message Check filters will appear in the display after every 50 program sequences. Check the filter combination. Clean if necessary. Then confirm the message with OK.

Remove the filter combination.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drain pump
If water remains in the wash cabinet after the end of a program, the water has not been pumped away. The drain pump may be blocked by foreign objects. These foreign objects are easy to remove. Disconnect the dishwasher from the
power supply. To do this, turn off at the electrical socket and withdraw the plug. Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see “Cleaning the filters” under “Cleaning and care”). Scoop the water out of the wash 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.

91

Cleaning and care

Damage due to incorrect clean-
ing. The components are delicate and can be damaged during cleaning. Take care when cleaning the drain pump.

The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover.
Risk of injury from glass splin-
ters. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Fault in the AutoDos (automatic dispensing)

Problem The following message appears on the display:
Insert PowerDisk or deactivate AutoDos with OK
The alarm tone is sounding. The program does not start or a program that has already started stops. The following message appears on the display:
AutoDos lid open
The following message appears on the display:
PowerDisk empty. Deactivate AutoDos with OK.
The message
PowerDisk empty. Deacti-
vate AutoDos with OK. appears in the display even though you have inserted a new PowerDisk.

Possible cause and solution
The AutoDos function is active but no PowerDisk has been inserted. Insert a PowerDisk (see “Automatic dispensing/
AutoDos” under “Detergent”). If you do not wish to use AutoDos, deactivate the
function using OK or the AutoDos sensor button.
The AutoDos lid has not been closed properly. Close the AutoDos lid and lock it fully (see “Auto-
matic dispensing/AutoDos” under “Detergent”). If the lid cannot be fully closed, check whether the
PowerDisk holder is lying flat (see “Inserting a PowerDisk” under “Detergent”). If the same fault message appears again, contact Miele Customer Service.
The AutoDos function is active and the PowerDisk is empty. Replace the PowerDisk (see “Automatic dispens-
ing/AutoDos” under “Detergent”). If you do not wish to use AutoDos, deactivate the function using OK or the AutoDos sensor button.
The dishwasher was turned off when the PowerDisk was replaced and it has therefore not recognized the new PowerDisk. Turn the dishwasher on before replacing the Pow-
erDisk (see “Automatic dispensing/AutoDos” and “Inserting a PowerDisk” under “Detergent”).

Frequently asked questions

Noises

Problem There is a knocking noise in the wash cabinet. There is a rattling noise in the wash cabinet.
Knocking noise in the water pipes

Possible cause and solution
A spray arm is knocking against a wash item. Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash
items that are obstructing the spray arm.
Wash items are not secure 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 the drain pump” under “Cleaning and care”).
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.

102

Frequently asked questions

Poor cleaning results

Problem The dishware is not clean.
There are smears on glassware and cutlery. There is a bluish sheen on the surface of glassware. The film can be wiped off.

Possible cause and solution
The dishware was not loaded correctly. See notes under “Loading the dishwasher”.
The program was not powerful enough. Select a more powerful program (see “Program
overview”). Activate the Extra clean function (see “Extra clean”
under “Settings”). Activate the “Second interim rinse” function (see
“Settings ­ Second interim rinse”).
Not enough detergent was dispensed. Use more detergent during manual dispensing or
change the detergent you are using. Increase the dispensing quantity during automatic
dispensing (if available) (see “Settings ­ AutoDos”).
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 installed. This may have caused the spray-arm jets to become blocked. Clean and/or install the filter combination correctly. Clean the spray-arm jets if necessary (see “Clean-
ing the spray arms” under “Cleaning and care”).
The rinse aid dosage is set too high. Reduce the dosage (see “Rinse aid” under “Set-
tings”).

Frequently asked questions

Problem The dishware is not dry or utensils and glasses are flecked.
Glassware has a brown or blue tinge. The film cannot be wiped off. Glassware is dull and discolored. The film cannot be wiped off. Tea or lipstick stains have not been completely removed.

Possible cause and solution
The rinse-aid dosage is set too low or the rinse-aid reservoir is empty. Replenish the reservoir, increase the dosage, or
change the brand of rinse aid (see “Rinse aid” under “Before using for the first time”).
The dishware was taken out of the wash cabinet too soon. Leave the dishware in longer (see “Unloading the
dishwasher” under “Operation”).
The duration of the drying phase for the selected program is not sufficient for the dishware (particularly for plastic dishware). Select the Extra Dry function (see “Extra Dry” un-
der “Settings”).
You have used combination products that have insufficient drying performance. Switch to another detergent or replenish the rinse
aid (see “Rinse aid” under “Before using for the first time”).
Ingredients from the detergent have formed a deposit. Switch to another detergent straight away.
The glassware is not dishwasher-safe. The surface has altered. No remedy.
Purchase glassware which is dishwasher-safe.
The wash temperature of the selected program was too low. Select a program with a higher wash temperature.
The bleaching effect of the detergent is too low. Switch to another detergent.

104

Frequently asked questions

Problem

Possible cause and solution

Plastic parts are discolored.

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 discolored will not revert to their original color.

glassware and utensils. The film can be wiped off.

The salt reservoir is empty. Fill the salt reservoir (see “Reactivation salt” under
“Before using for the first time”).

The salt-reservoir cap has not been screwed on correctly. Replace it, making sure that it screws back on cor-
rectly.

Unsuitable combination detergents were used. Switch to another detergent. If using detergent
tabs or powder detergent, do not choose combination products and ensure you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid.

The water softener is programmed to too low a water hardness level. Program the water softener to a higher water hard-
ness level (see “Water hardness” under “Settings”).

Too much detergent was dispensed. Reduce the dispensing quantity during automatic
dispensing (if available) (see “Settings ­ AutoDos”). Activate the “Second interim rinse” function (see
“Settings ­ Second interim rinse”).

Not enough combination detergent was dispensed. The water softener performance is not sufficient. Increase the dispensing quantity during automatic
dispensing (if available) (see “Settings ­ AutoDos”). Add more reactivation salt.

105

Frequently asked questions

Problem There are rust stains on the cutlery.

Possible cause and solution
The affected items are not corrosion resistant. No remedy.
Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher-proof.
A program was not run after reactivation salt was added. Traces of salt have got into the normal wash cycle. Always run the QuickIntenseWash program
with the Express program option selected and without any dishes in the dishwasher after adding reactivation salt.
The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on correctly. Replace it, making sure that it screws back on cor-
rectly.
