Warning and safety instructions Appropriate use This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar
applications such as: – staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments; – farm houses; – by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments; – bed and breakfast type 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.
7

Warning and safety instructions 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.
8

Warning and safety instructions Technical safety Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician. Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher. The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed when 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). Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard. 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 synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001­2 ISO 45001. The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable switched socket using a fused 3-pin plug (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.
9

Warning and safety instructions 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. 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.
10

Warning and safety instructions
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. 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.
11

Warning and safety instructions
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). 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. This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp (depending on the model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g. in terms of temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised person or by your Miele dealer. 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.
12

Warning and 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 worktop that 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 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 10­12 kg (depending on model).
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.
13

Warning and safety instructions
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. 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.
14

Warning and safety instructions 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 a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your dishwasher. Transport Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher. Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults. If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely fasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses and mains connection cables.

Caring for the environment

Disposing of the packaging material
The packaging material is used for handling and protects the appliance from transport damage. The packaging material used is selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can generally be recycled. Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials. Use material-specific collection points for valuable materials and take advantage of return options. Your Miele dealer will take the packaging material away.

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.

28

Before using for the first time

Dishwasher 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 crockery and on the wash cabinet walls. 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 maintain the functions of the water softener, it 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 approx. 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 ­ Powder detergent and detergent tabs”).

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 “Settings ­ Water hardness”).
Damage to the water softener
from detergent. 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 in your dishwasher, you can turn off both refill reminders if you wish (see “Settings ­ Refill reminders”).
Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergent products, you refill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders back on if required.

29

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. 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.

30

Before using for the first time

Refilling the salt When Add salt and run the
“QuickPowerWash” programme with the
“Express” option without a load appears in the display, wait until the end of the programme and then refill the salt reservoir.
Confirm with OK.
The salt refill indicator will go out.

After the salt reservoir has been filled, the salt refill indicator may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. In this case, confirm the message again with OK. 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).

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.

31

Before using for the first time

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. 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 “Settings ­ Refill reminders”).

Caring for the environment

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- rinse 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 dishes with a normal level of soiling. – If you have a hot water connection, choose the SolarSave programme (see “Installation ­ Water inlet”). The wash water will not be heated up during this programme. – 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.

50

Caring for the environment

EcoFeedback consumption indicator
You can view information about the energy and water consumption of your dishwasher (see “Settings” chapter, “Consumption” section). The following information will appear in the display: – Estimated energy and water
consumption before the programme sequence begins. – Actual energy and water consumption at the end of a programme. – The total consumption of the dishwasher.
1. Consumption estimate You can display the predicted energy and water consumption in the Extras menu of the selected programme using the Estimate function. The estimated consumption will be shown as a bar chart. The more bars displayed, the higher the energy or water consumption of the selected programme. The values are influenced by the programme, the extras selected, the ambient conditions and the size of the load. The estimated consumption function is activated as standard. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “Settings”, “Consumption” section).

2. Displaying consumption At the end of the programme, you can call up the actual energy and water consumption for the programme that has just been run. Open the door at the end of the
programme. Select the Consumption function. The energy and water consumption of the programme that has just run is displayed.
Switching the dishwasher off at the end of the programme will delete the actual consumption values for the programme that has just been run.
3. Total consumption You can view the total consumption of energy and water for all previously used programmes of your dishwasher (see “Settings” chapter, “Consumption” section).

Caring for the environment

Heat accumulator
This dishwasher is equipped with a heat accumulator, in which fresh water for the programme is pre-heated and stored in order to save energy. The heat accumulator is refilled with fresh water towards the end of each rinse cycle. The water is held here ready for the next rinse cycle. If you do not wish to use this function, it can be switched off (see “Settings ­ Heat accumulator”). If the water in the heat accumulator has not been used for several weeks, the water will be automatically drained off for hygiene reasons. This procedure takes a few minutes and will occur even with the dishwasher switched off or the door open. Please ensure that the dishwasher is properly connected. The display will remain dark while the heat accumulator is drained off. If you touch the sensor control, the display will show the message Empty heat accumulator. Other functions will be unavailable during this procedure. Automatic emptying cannot be interrupted. During the subsequent programme sequence, water and energy consumption will be higher. The heat accumulator can be manually drained for transporting the dishwasher, e.g. when moving house (see “Settings ­ Heat accumulator”).

The heat accumulator should only be used in conjunction with a cold water connection. This function should be switched off if your dishwasher is connected to a hot water connection.

52

Loading the dishwasher

General information
Remove coarse food residues from crockery. 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.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed: – 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 placed upside down in the baskets. – 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 be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely.

– The spray arms must not be blocked by items that are too tall or hang through the baskets. Test for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms.
– 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 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.

53

Loading the dishwasher

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.

Detergent

Active ingredients
Damage caused by using
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.

65

Detergent

Risk of chemical burns from
detergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale 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 dosage
There are two ways of dispensing the detergent. During automatic dispensing the AutoDos will automatically dispense the required amount of detergent for each programme sequence once a PowerDisk has been inserted (see “Detergent” chapter, “Automatic dispensing/AutoDos” section). If you do not wish to use automatic dispensing, 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 programme (see “Detergent” chapter, “Manual detergent dispensing” section).

66

Detergent

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 cycles, depending on the chosen programme.
PowerDisks are available to order directly from Miele’s online store, the Miele Customer Service Department 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 Switch the dishwasher on using the
sensor control. Before you first use AutoDos, remove
the transport lock from the PowerDisk compartment and dispose of it appropriately. Insert a PowerDisk (see the “Automatic dispensing/AutoDos” chapter, “Inserting a PowerDisk” section). The AutoDos function will be activated automatically. This setting applies to all programmes and you can change it in a programme’s Extras menu.
If no programme 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 refresh in progress will be shown in the display when the dishwasher is switched on. No detergent will be dispensed.

67

Detergent

Inserting a PowerDisk Switch on the dishwasher before you replace the PowerDisk so that the dishwasher recognises it. When the message PowerDisk almost empty appears, the reservoir contains sufficient detergent for two to three programmes only. 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 in the display. Remove the empty PowerDisk.

If the arrows in the PowerDisk holder and in the viewing window are not pointing towards each other, remove the PowerDisk holder (see the “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the AutoDos” section).
Put the holder back into place so that the arrows point towards 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 downwards until it sits flush.

68

Detergent
The detergent powder must be dry so that it does not clump together. Do not fill the AutoDos 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 the “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the AutoDos” section). 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 programme. 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. Programmes cannot start when the AutoDos lid is open.
69

Detergent

Manual detergent dispensing
Detergent must be manually dispensed if you have deactivated automatic dispensing in a programme’s Extras menu.

Adding detergent

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.

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 programme.

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

70

Detergent

The detergent must not cause the detergent compartment lid to get stuck. This can prevent the lid from opening during the programme sequence. Do not overfill the detergent compartment.
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 programmes that have a prewash stage (see “Programme overview”).

71

Operation

Switching on the dishwasher
Open the stopcock, if it is closed. Open the door. Make sure the spray arms can rotate
freely. Touch the sensor control.
If the dishwasher has been switched off for longer than 1 minute, you will need to hold the sensor control for a bit longer (wipe protection). The Programmes menu will appear in the display.

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”. Select the programme you want in
the display. The display will change to the Extras menu. You can now select the extras (see “Extras”). To select a different programme, touch the sensor control to return to the Programmes menu.

72

Operation

Display of programme duration
The estimated duration of the selected programme appears on the display before the programme begins. If the door is opened during the programme, 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 dishes and how soiled they are. When a programme is selected for the first time, the display will show the average programme duration for a cold water connection. The programme durations shown in the “Programme overview” chapter refer to standard test loads and temperatures. Each time a programme is run, the control module calculates the programme duration 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. If necessary, confirm the previously displayed messages with OK.
The in-operation indicator light comes on to confirm that a programme sequence has been started.
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.

73

Operation

End of programme
At the end of a programme, the optical in-operation indicator light will flash slowly with the door shut. The buzzer might also sound. The optical in- operation indicator light will go out 10 minutes after the end of the programme if the door is closed. The programme has ended when the display shows the message Finished. In some programmes, if the AutoOpen function is activated, the door will automatically open slightly (see “Settings ­ AutoOpen”). This improves the drying process. If the Consumption programmable function is switched on, you can now call up the actual energy and water consumption of the programme that has just finished (see “Caring for the environment ­ EcoFeedback consumption indicator”).
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. If you have deactivated the automatic door opening function (see “Settings ­ AutoOpen”), but would still like to open the door at the end of the programme, then make sure that you open the door fully.

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

74

Operation

Switching off the dishwasher
Open the door. The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the sensor control. Confirm the query Switch appliance off? with Yes. 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. Leaking water 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 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. If you open the door fully after switching off, the dishes will cool much faster. 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.

75

Operation

Interrupting a programme
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 sequence.
If a programme has already started and you wish to cancel it, proceed as follows: Open the door. Touch the Back sensor control. Confirm the query Cancel the
programme? with Yes. The programme is cancelled. If you would like to select another programme: Touch the sensor control. The display will change back to the Programmes menu. 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. The optical in- operation indicator light comes on to show that a programme sequence has been started.

76

Options

Timer
The timer gives you several options for starting a programme at a later time. You can set the start time or the finish time of a programme. You can also use the EcoStart or SmartStart functions to benefit from cheaper energy tariffs at night.
With 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
detergent. To prevent children coming into contact with dishwasher detergent: Do not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the programme, i.e. before you activate the timer.

Activating the timer Open the door. Switch the dishwasher on using the
sensor control. Select the programme you want to
use. Touch the Timer sensor control. The Timer sensor control lights up. You can choose between the Start at, Finish at or EcoStart functions, or SmartStart if applicable. Select the function you want. The last time set for the timer will be displayed and the hour number block will be highlighted. Select the time you want for the timer
using the sensor controls and confirm with OK. If, while you are setting the time, you do not apply any settings for several seconds, the display will revert to the previous menu. You will then have to enter your settings again.
After you have activated the timer, all the displays will switch off after a few minutes to save energy.

You can also activate a timer via the Miele app.

Programme overview

Further programmes
SolarSave Programme operating without heating when the dishwasher is connected to a hot water supply of at least 45 °C (see “Installation ­ Water inlet”). This programme is suitable for cleaning a mixed load with normal household food residues that have slightly dried on.
PowerWash 60 °C Programme for cleaning a mixed load with normal household food residues.
Tall items 65 °C Programme for especially large, temperature-resistant items such as very large pots/pans. In order to make space for large items in the lower basket, remove the upper basket for washing with this programme.
Pasta/Paella Programme with long soak phases for mixed crockery, pots, pans, and nondelicate porcelain. This programme is especially suitable for removing soiling containing starch left by potatoes, pasta and rice.

Glasses This programme does not use rinse aid and omits the drying phase. It is particularly suitable for cleaning beer glasses where a good head of froth is needed.
Maintenance programme The dishwasher wash cabinet is generally self-cleaning. However, if residues or deposits occur, use the Maintenance programme to clean it. The dishwasher must not be loaded for this programme. This programme is designed for cleaning the wash cabinet using care products (dishwasher cleaner/dishwasher conditioner) (see “Optional accessories” chapter, “Appliance care” section). Follow the instructions on the packaging. When using dishwasher care products, detergent should not be dispensed. For this reason, automatic dispensing (if available) will be deactivated for this programme.

86

Extras

Selecting extras
You can use extras to adjust the programmes. To do this, you can select or deselect the extras in the Extras menu of a selected programme before starting it. Open the door. Switch the dishwasher on using the
sensor control. Select a different programme as
required. All available extras are shown in the display.
Not all extras can be selected in every programme or used in combination. Extras that are not available are greyed out and cannot be selected. Select the extras you want. The selected extras are marked in orange.

If you want to cancel the selection of an extra, touch the sensor control for the extra again.
When you have made all the settings you want, close the door to start the programme.
The selected extras will remain active for that particular programme until the settings are changed (except for the ECO programme).

87

Extras

IntenseZone The IntenseZone extra 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 extra reduces the programme duration. In order to achieve optimum cleaning results, the temperature, and therefore the energy consumption, will increase with this option. The time by which the programme duration is shortened varies according to the selected programme. Selecting the Express extra may take precedence over other selected options.

Extra clean You can select this extra to increase the cleaning performance of the programmes. If you activate this extra, the programme durations and the main wash temperatures will increase. The water and energy consumption may increase.
Extra dry You can select this extra to increase the programme’s drying performance. If you activate this extra, the programme durations and final rinse temperatures will increase. The energy consumption may increase.

When used in combination with the QuickPowerWash programme, the Express extra results in a wash programme designed solely for the purpose of rinsing the cabinet to remove salt solution that leaked out after refilling the salt reservoir.

88

Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4­6 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 and care
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely selfcleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used. 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. However, if residues such as limescale or grease have been deposited, use the Maintenance programme to clean the dishwasher (see “Programme overview ­ Additional programmes “) with dishwasher cleaner (see “Optional accessories ­ Appliance care”). Follow the instructions on the product packaging. Miele cleaning and care products are available to order from the Miele Customer Service Department or from the Miele online shop. Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.

89

Cleaning and care

Hygiene cycle
If you mainly use low temperature programmes, there is a risk of bacteria and unpleasant odours building up in the wash cabinet. If you repeatedly use low temperature programmes, you should regularly run a high temperature programme. This is to prevent the buildup of residues and odours. You can activate or deactivate a Hygiene info message (see “Settings ­ Hygiene cycle”). If you deactivate this message, run the Intensive 75 °C programme once per month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odours from developing.

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 reflector panel
The reflector panel for the optical inoperation indicator light is situated on the protective foil underneath the worktop. The reflector panel should only be
cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary.

90

Cleaning and care

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

91

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the AutoDos
If the Clean AutoDos message is displayed, check that the fill channel is clean, and clean it if necessary, e.g. powder residues. This helps keep the AutoDos working properly. In order to ensure that the AutoDos works at its best, check it each time you replace the PowerDisk and clean it if needed.

Turn the AutoDos lid to and open it.
Remove the PowerDisk if appropriate.

Pull the PowerDisk holder upwards by the yellow tabs and remove it. When doing so, do not pull on the side tab.

Use the tab (see arrow) to release the fill channel and pull it out .

92

Cleaning and care

Clean the fill channel using water and a soft brush if necessary. It is very important that no moisture gets inside the AutoDos system during cleaning.
Dry the fill channel well so that the detergent powder does not clump together.
Insert the fill channel again until the tab clicks into place.

The AutoDos lid must close tightly so that the detergent powder does not get wet and clump together. Make sure that all seals are clean.
Insert a PowerDisk. Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until
the lid handle is directly below the symbol. (see “Detergent ­ Inserting a PowerDisk”).
Regularly check the lower spray arm for any blockages to ensure that the detergent outlet of the AutoDos can be fully flushed out (see “Cleaning and care ­ Cleaning the spray arms”).

Put the holder back into place so that the arrows in the PowerDisk holder and in the viewing window point towards each other. The holder must lie flat.

93

Cleaning and care
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).
Never run a wash programme without using the spray arms.
Damage due to soiling entering
the circulation system. Without filters, soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage. Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters. When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.
Switch the dishwasher off.

Removing the cutlery tray (if present) In order to be able to remove the upper spray, you first have to remove the cutlery tray (if present). Take out the cutlery tray.
Press the rail safety clips on both sides of the cutlery tray together and remove the safety clips .
Take out the cutlery tray completely.

it by hand.
Inserting the middle spray arm

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.

Replace the middle spray arm and turn the screw thread anticlockwise until it engages. Make sure that the recesses in the lock line up.
Inserting the lower spray arm Refit the lower spray arm and ensure
that the filter combination lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

Inserting the cutlery tray (if present) Slide the cutlery tray back onto the
rails from the front. Replace the safety clips in the rails on
both sides of the cutlery tray.

96

Cleaning and care

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.

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.

The filters can become blocked by soiling that collects over time. The level of soiling and the time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use. The message Remove filters and clean them if necessary will appear in the display after every 50 programme cycles. Check the filter combination. Clean it, if necessary. Then confirm the message with OK.

Remove the filter combination.

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 connection.

Rotate the screw connection 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.

Cleaning and care

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.

Cleaning and care

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.

Cleaning and care
Damage due to incorrect
cleaning. 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
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.
