Operating instructions
DishwashersMiele G 7660 Built In Dishwashers -

To avoid the risk of accidents or damage to the appliance, it is essential to read these instructions as well as the installation sheet before it is installed and used for the first time.

Warning and safety instructions

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

Appropriate use

  • This dishwasher is intended for use in the home and in similar environments, for example
    – in shops, offices and similar work settings
    – on agricultural estates
    – by the guests in hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and other typical home settings.

  • 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.

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.

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 qualified 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 qualified electrician. 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 18001–2 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 Miele Waterproof system offers protection from water damage, provided that the following conditions are met:
    – Installation has been carried out correctly.
    – The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where this is noticeably required.
    – The stopcock is turned off during longer absences from the home (e.g. whilst on holiday). The waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to the electricity supply.

  • The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50 and 1,000 kPa.

  • A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and call your Miele dealer or Miele Service.

  • While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service 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 mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available from the Miele Customer Service Department). For safety reasons this must only be done by the Miele Customer Service Department or a Miele authorised technician.

  • 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 lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department.

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 beblocked when the door is automatically opened (AutoOpen function).
  • If the dishwasher is being used behind closed furniture fronts (e.g. doors), ensure that the automatic door opening mechanism is not blocked. The housing units used must be sufficiently resistant to moisture. The installation space must be well ventilated.
  • 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 the Miele Customer Service Department. The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the factory fitted door springs is 10–12 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.

  • Do not sit or lean on the open door. The dishwasher can tip over.
    This can 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.

  • Plastic items that cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.

  • If you use the timer option, the detergent compartment must be dry. If it is not, wipe the detergent compartment 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.

Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with household  waste or ifhandled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with household waste.

Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your local community, with your dealer or with Miele, free of charge. By law, you are solely responsible for deleting any personal data from the old appliance prior to disposal. You are legally obliged to remove any old batteries which are not securely enclosed by the appliance and to remove any lamps without destroying them, where this is possible. These must be taken to a suitable collection point where they can be handed in free of charge. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored for disposal.

Before using for the first time

Every dishwasher is tested at the factory.
There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that the dishwasher has been used previously.

Opening the door
In some programmes the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying process.
This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “Settings – AutoOpen”).

  • Pull the handle firmly to open the door.
  • Open the door fully to disengage the locking mechanism.

At the end of the programme, if the AutoOpen function is on, the door locking pins automatically retract.
The door locking pin must be fully retracted before you close the door again.

To prevent a technical fault, do not hold the door locking pins firmly when they are retracting.

If the door is opened during operation all wash functions are automatically interrupted.

Risk of scalding due to hot water.
During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot.
During operation, only open the door with extreme caution.
Risk of injury due to door opening automatically.
The door may open automatically at the end of the programme.
Keep the area around the door free of obstructions.
  Caution: avoid blocking doors.
The automatic door opening function could cause doors to be blocked. Install the dishwasher so that the door does not block any other doors or furniture fronts when it opens automatically.

Closing the door

  • Push the baskets right in.
  • Raise the door upwards until the catch engages.

At the end of the programme, if the AutoOpen function switched is on, the door locking pin must be fully retracted before the door is closed.
Otherwise, the door locking pin will hit the door.

Risk of crushing due to the door closing.
When closing the door, you are at risk of shutting your fingers in it.
Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.

Miele@home
Your dishwasher is equipped with an integrated WiFi module.

In order to use it you will need:
– A WiFi network
– The Miele app
– A Miele user account The user account can be created via the Miele app.

The Miele app will guide you as you connect your dishwasher to your home WiFi network.
Once your dishwasher is connected to your WiFi network you can use the app, for example, to carry out the following activities:

– Control your dishwasher remotely
– Call up information on the operating status of your dishwasher
– Call up information on the programme sequence of your dishwasher

Connecting your dishwasher to your WiFi network will increase energy consumption, even when the dishwasher is switched off.
Make sure that your WiFi network signal strength is strong enough at the installation site of your dishwasher.

Availability of the WiFi connection
The WiFi connection shares a frequency range with other appliances (including microwave ovens and remote control toys). This can give rise to sporadic or even complete connection failures.
Therefore, the availability of featured functions cannot be guaranteed.

Miele@home availability
The ability to use the Miele app depends on the availability of the Miele@home service in your country.
The Miele@home service is not available in every country.
For information about availability, please visit www.miele.com.

Miele App

Setting the water hardness level
The display will change to the screen for setting the water hardness.
– You should programme the dishwasher to the correct water hardness for your area.
– Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
– Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 15 °dH – German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °dH in this example).
In the event of a fault, it will help the service technician if you know the hardness of your local water supply.
Therefore, please enter the water hardness:
____°dH or mmol/l
The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 2.5 mmol/l (14 °dH – German scale).

  • Set the water hardness level in your area and confirm using OK.

See the “Settings” chapter, “Water hardness” section for more information.

Activating AutoDos
The display changes to the settings screen for AutoDos (see the “Detergent” chapter, “Automatic dispensing/ AutoDos” section).

Even if you do not wish to use AutoDos, you must remove the transport locking device from the PowerDisk compartment before running the first programme (see the “Detergent” chapter, “AutoDos” section).

You can activate AutoDos.
If you do not wish to use AutoDos (automatic dispensing), you can manually dispense the detergent into the detergent compartment (see the “Detergent” chapter, “Manual detergent dispensing” section).

  • Select the setting you want and confirm with OK.

This setting applies to all programmes and you can change it at any time using the AutoDos sensor control.

Finally, prompts will appear in the display.
After confirming these prompts with OK, the messages  Refill salt and  Refill rinse aid may appear.

  • Add salt and rinse aid if necessary (see “Before using for the first time – Dishwasher salt” and “Rinse aid”).
  • Select OK to confirm the messages.

The programme selected will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate sensor control will be illuminated.
Next, the estimated energy and water consumption may be shown for the chosen programme for several seconds.
Then the display will show the estimated running time for the programme selected.

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 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, only 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.

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.

Refilling the salt

  • When Refill salt 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.

  Risk of corrosion due to saline solution.
Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the load items.
Each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, you must run the  65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the  Express programme option selected without any load items in the dishwasher. This will dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
After the salt reservoir has been filled, the 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).

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”).
Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders back on if required.

Adding rinse aid

  • Press the yellow button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir.

The lid will spring open.

  • Fill with rinse aid until the filling level indicator (arrow) changes to a dark colour while the door is horizontally open.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approximately 110 ml.

  • Close the lid firmly until you hear it click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme.
  • Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents excess foam developing during the next programme.

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for the best wash result (see “Settings” chapter, “Rinse aid” section).

Filling the rinse aid reservoir
When the refill reminder Refill rinse aid appears in the display, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3 programmes only.

  • Refill with rinse aid in plenty of time.
  • Confirm with OK.

The rinse aid refill reminder will disappear.

– Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
– Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10– 15 °dH – German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °dH in this example).

If the water hardness in your area is available in a unit other than °dH, you can convert the values as follows: 1 °dH = 0.18 mmol/l = 1.78 °fH

Setting the water hardness level

  • Select the water hardness level in your area and confirm using OK.

AutoDos (automatic dispensing)
Automatic dispensing automatically adjusts the amount of detergent to the selected programme. In the Auto programme, the quantity is adjusted depending on the degree of soiling of the crockery.
If you want to extend the service life of the PowerDisk, you can reduce the dispensing quantity. The programme’s cleaning performance may decrease as a result.
If you  want to improve the cleaning performance, you can increase the dispensing quantity. This reduces the service life of the PowerDisk.

Setting the Dosage amount
For best results, you can adjust the dispensing quantity of the PowerDisk.

  • Select the Dosage amount menu option.
  • Select the desired setting.

Rinse aid
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results.

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.

EcoFeedback consumption indicator
The Consumption function is used for calling up information about the energy and water consumption of your dishwasher (see “Settings” chapter, “Consumption” section).
The following information can be shown on the display:
– An estimate of the consumption before the programme begins
– The actual consumption at the end of the programme
– The total consumption of the dishwasher

  1. Consumption estimate
    After a programme has been selected, first the name of the programme and after a few seconds the estimated energy consumption   and water consumption will appear in the display.
    The estimated consumption will be shown as a bar chart. The more bars that are visible ( ), the higher the energy or water consumption.
    The values are influenced by the programme, any programme options selected, the ambient conditions and the size of the load.
    The display will change automatically from showing the estimated consumption to showing the time remaining.
    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.
     Confirm the message Consumption (OK) with OK.
    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).

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 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  anually 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.

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 champagne 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.

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 dishwasher-proof.
– 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: this type of decoration may fade after a number of cycles.
– Delicate glassware and glassware containing lead crystal: clouding may occur over time.

Silverware
Risk of damage due to unsuitable detergents.
If silverware is cleaned using an unsuitable cleaning agent, it can be irreparably damaged.

Silverware 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 cleaning agents.
Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease filters of cooker hoods) can be damaged by caustic alkaline cleaning agents.  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 cleaning agents.

Tip: When purchasing new crockery 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 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.

Upper basket
See the “Loading the dishwasher” chapter, “Loading examples” section for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery.

Loading the upper basket

  Damage due to leaking water.
If you run the dishwasher without the upper basket, water can leak out of the dishwasher. Only run the dishwasher with the upper basket in place (except during the programme Tall items , if available).

  • Use the upper basket for small, lightweight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.
  • Long items such as soup ladles and mixing spoons should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.

Loading the FlexCare cup rack
You can put cups, small bowls and flat crockery on the FlexCare cup rack. Glasses can be arranged along the cup rack so they sit securely during the programme.

  • Lower the FlexCare cup rack to do so.
  • Raise the cup rack upwards to make room for tall items.

Adjusting the FlexCare cup rack
You can set the height and depth of the cup rack at two different levels. so that it can accommodate larger cups and so that taller crockery can be placed underneath it.

  • Pull the cup rack upwards and click it into the desired position (see arrow).

Loading the silicone elements of the FlexCare cup rack
The silicone elements in the cup rack are specially designed to hold tall glasses with long stems securely.

  • Lower the cup rack and lean the glasses against the openings.
  • If you wish you can adjust the left insert of the 3D MultiFlex tray to make space for taller glasses (see the “Cutlery” chapter, “3D MultiFlex tray” section).

Heavily soiled items

Detergent

Active ingredients
  Risk of damage due to unsuitable detergents.
Detergents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the load items.
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 limescale.
– 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 bleach.

There are different types of detergent:
– Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the load size and the level of soiling.
– Detergent tabs. 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.
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.

For optimum cleaning and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and dispense salt and rinse aid separately.

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).

Automatic dispensing/AutoDos
Before you can use AutoDos, you must insert a PowerDisk containing powder detergent into the PowerDisk compartment. One Power Disk 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. The message AutoDos activated will appear in the display.
This setting applies to all programmes and you can change it at any time using the   AutoDos sensor control.

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 refreshing will be shown in the display when the dishwasher is switched on. No detergent  will be dispensed.

Inserting a PowerDisk
Switch on the dishwasher before you replace the PowerDisk so that the dishwasher recognises 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 towards each other, remove the PowerDisk holder (see “Cleaning and care – Cleaning the AutoDos”).

  • 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.

  • 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 Auto Dos.
Always close the AutoDos lid before you close the dishwasher door. Otherwise, the AutoDos may become damaged.
Programmes cannot start when the Auto Dos lid is open.

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 “Cleaning and care – Cleaning the AutoDos”).

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

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.

Adding detergent

  • 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 sequence.

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

The detergent must not cause the detergent compartment lid to get stuck. This can prevent the lid from opening during the programme sequence.
Do not overfill the detergent compartment.

  • 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 chart”).

Operation

Switching on the dishwasher

  • Open the stopcock, if it is closed.
  • 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 programme selected will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate sensor control will be illuminated. Next, the estimated energy and water consumption may be shown for the chosen programme for several seconds.
Then the display will show the estimated duration for the selected programme.

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”.

  • Touch the sensor control for the required programme.
    The sensor control for the selected programme will light up.
    Further programmes can be selected under .

  • To do so, touch the sensor control. The first of the further programmes will appear in the display.

  • Use the sensor controls in the display to select the programme you want.

You can now select programme options (see “Programme options”). If any programme options are selected, the appropriate sensor controls will also light up.

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.
Symbols appear to  indicate which stage the programme is at:

| Pre-wash/Soak
---|---
| Main wash
| Interim rinse
| Final rinse
| Drying
| End

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 message with OK.

The optical in-operation indicator light comes on to show that a programme sequence has been started.
During a programme sequence, you can use OK to display the name of the programme that is currently running when the door is open.

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.

End of the programme
At the end of a programme, the in-operation indicator light will flash slowly with the door shut.
The buzzer might also sound. The 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 display 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.
If you are not satisfied with the cleaning or drying results, you can activate the Extra clean or Extra dry functions to boost the performance of the programmes (see “Extra clean” or “Extra dry” under “Extras”).

Risk of damage due to steam.
Steam from the dishwasher could damage delicate housing units and the edges of 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.

Switching off the dishwasher

  • Open the door.
  • The dishwasher can be switched off at any time using the   sensor control.

Switching the dishwasher off during a programme stops the programme.

  • Use the sensor control to select the Switch appliance off option.
  • Confirm the query Switch appliance off with OK.

You can also do this to stop an ongoing timer.

  Risk of damage from leaking water. Water
leakage can cause damage. If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, the stopcock should be closed as a precaution.

Unloading the 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.

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.
  • Switch the dishwasher off using the sensor control.
  • Use the sensor control to select the Switch appliance off option.
  • Confirm the query Switch appliance off with OK.

If you would like to select another programme:

  • Switch the dishwasher back on using the sensor control.

  • If you have dispensed detergent manually, check whether the detergent compartment is still closed.
    If the detergent compartment 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 in-operation indicator light comes on to confirm that a programme sequence has been started.

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.

  Further programmes
PowerWash 60 °C
Programme for cleaning a mixed load with normal household food residues.
ExtraQuiet 55 °C
Very quiet programme with longer duration. This programme is suitable for a mixed load with normal household food residues that have dried on slightly.

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 only sustainable when the water is heated using solar thermal energy. This programme is suitable for cleaning mixed crockery with normal household food residues that have slightly dried on.
Hygiene 70 °C
Special programme for hard-wearing items with normal household food residues that have dried on slightly, which need to be hygienically clean, e.g. baby bottles and chopping boards.
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 non- delicate porcelain. This programme is especially suitable for removing soiling containing starch left by rice, potatoes and pasta.
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.

Programme options

Selecting programme options
You can use programme options to adjust the programmes.
To do this, you can select or deselect the programme options before running the programme.

  • Open the door.
  • Switch the dishwasher on using the sensor control.

The sensor control for the selected programme will light up.

  • Select a different programme as required.
  • Touch the sensor control for the programme option you want.

The appropriate sensor control will light up when the programme options are available for the selected programme.
If the programme option is not compatible with the selected programme, a message to this effect will appear in the display.

  • In this instance, confirm the message with OK.
  • Start the programme by closing the door.

The selected programme option will remain active for that particular programme until the setting is changed (except for the ECO programme).

IntenseZone
The IntenseZone programme 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 programme option 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 programme option may take precedence over other selected options.
When used in combination with the QuickPowerWash programme, the Express programme option results in a rinse designed solely for the purpose of flushing out the chamber to remove salt solution that leaked out after refilling the salt reservoir.

Cleaning and care

Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4–6 months). In this way, faults and problems can be avoided.
  Damage due to unsuitable cleaning agents. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the external surfaces. Only use cleaning agents formulated for use on the relevant surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.
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.

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
build-up 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 field

  • The control field should only be wiped with a clean, damp cloth.

Cleaning the reflector panel
The reflector panel for the optical in-operation indicator light is situated on the protective foil underneath the worktop.

  • The reflector panel should only be cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary.

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 soft sponge cloth 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 dishwasher detergent can also be used.

To avoid damaging the external surfaces, do not use the following:
– Cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides
– Descaling agents
– Abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. scouring powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones
– Cleaning agents containing solvents
– Stainless steel cleaners
– Dishwasher cleaners
– Oven cleaner
– Glass cleaning agents
– Hard, abrasive brushes, cloths 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

Cleaning the AutoDos
If the Clean AutoDos message is dis- played, 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.

  1. PowerDisk holder
  2. Fill channel for dispensing the detergent from the PowerDisk into the wash cabinet
  • 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) **1** to release the fill channel and pull it out **2**.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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”).

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 arm, 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 **1** and remove the safety clips **2** at the same time.

  • Take out the cutlery tray completely.

Removing the top spray arm

  • Push the upper spray arm upwards **1** to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm by rotating the screw thread anti-clockwise **2** (view from below).

Removing the middle spray arm

  • Rotate the screw thread of the middle spray arm clockwise **1** (view from above) and remove the spray arm **2**.

Removing the lower spray arm

  • Remove the lower basket.

  • Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm anti-clockwise **1** (view from above) and pull the spray arm upwards to remove **2**.

Cleaning the spray arms

  • Use a pointed object to push food particles into the spray arm nozzles.
  • Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under running water.

Inserting the upper spray arm

  • Refit the upper spray arm and tighten it by hand.

Inserting the middle spray arm

  • Replace the middle spray arm and turn the screw thread anti-clockwise (view from above) 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.

  • Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm clockwise (view from above) 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.

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.

Checking the filters in the wash cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soiling from the suds solution. This prevents soiling getting into the circulation system and re-entering the wash cabinet through the spray arms.

Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system.
Without filters, soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage.
Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters.
When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.

The filters can become blocked by soiling that collects over time. The level of soiling and the 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 programme cycles.

  • Check the filter combination.
  • Clean it, if necessary.
  • Then confirm the message with OK.

Cleaning the filters

  • Switch the dishwasher off.

  • Remove the lower spray arm (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the spray arms” section).

  • Before removing the filter combination, remove any coarse soiling to prevent it from entering the circulation system.

  • Remove the filter combination.

  • 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 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 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 **1**.

  • Tip the cover inwards until it is released **2**.

  • Rinse the cover thoroughly under running water and remove all foreign objects.

The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover.
  Risk of injury from glass splinters.
It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump. Take care when cleaning the drain pump.

  • Carefully remove all foreign objects from the drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it.
    You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.

  • Refit the cover by placing it down vertically from above.

Ensure that the catch engages correctly.

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

Installation

The Miele Waterproof system
Provided that your dishwasher has been installed correctly, the Miele Waterproof system will protect you from water damage throughout its lifetime.
Water inlet
Health risk due to wash water.
Water in the dishwasher is not drinking water.
Do not drink any water from the dishwasher.
Health risk and risk of damage due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water must correspond to the drinking water specification of the country in which the dishwasher is being operated. Connect the dishwasher to a drinking water supply.
The dishwasher may be connected to cold or hot water (up to max. 60 °C) supplies.
If energy-saving water heating sources such as solar energy circulation systems are used, we recommend connecting to the hot water connection. This saves both time and electrical energy costs.
Hot water is used in all programmes. The SolarSave programme (if available) requires a hot water connection of between a minimum of 45 °C and a maximum of 60 °C (inlet temperature). The higher the water intake temperature, the better the cleaning and drying results.
The water inlet hose is approximately 1.5 m long. A 1.5 m long, flexible metal extension hose (tested to 14,000 kPa/ 140 bar) is available as an optional accessory from Miele dealers or the Miele Customer Service Department.
A stopcock with a ¾” threaded union is required for the connection. If a stopcock is not available, only a qualified installer may connect the dishwasher to the drinking water supply. The water connection pressure must be between 50 and 1000 kPa. If the water connection pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted.
Risk of damage from leaking water. The connection point is subject to mains water pressure. Water leaking from it can cause damage. You should therefore open the stopcock slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the seal and screw thread if appropriate. Check the screw connections regularly to make sure they are still tight.
Regulation in Germany
For the protection of drinking water, the non-return valve supplied with the appliance must be installed between the stopcock and the water inlet hose.

  • Screw the non-return valve onto the stopcock.
  • Screw the water inlet hose onto the thread of the non-return valve.

  Risk of damage due to excessive pressure. A brief increase in the water connection pressure can damage components of the dishwasher. This dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.

Risk of electric shock from mains voltage.
There are live electrical components in the water inlet hose.
The water inlet hose must not be  shortened or damaged in any way (see illustration).
Water drainage
The dishwasher’s drainage system is fitted with a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the appliance via the drain hose.
The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
The drain hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4 m and the delivery head no higher than 1 m.
If the hose is to be directly fitted to the drainage outlet on site, use the hose clip supplied (see installation plan).
The hose can be directed to the left or the right of the appliance.
The on-site connector for the drain hose can be adapted to different hose diameters.
If the connector extends too far into the drain hose, it must be shortened. Otherwise, the drain hose can become blocked.
The drain hose must not be shortened.
Lay the drain hose so that it does not kink and is not being subjected to pressure or tension.
Risk of damage from leaking water.
Leaking water can cause damage. After commissioning, make sure that the water is not leaking.
Venting the water drain
If the on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide path for the lower basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise, a siphoning effect can cause the wash cabinet to empty itself of water during a programme.

  • Open the dishwasher door fully.

  • Remove the lower basket.

  • Insert a screwdriver into the middle opening of the vent valve in the left wash cabinet wall  1.

  • Press the screwdriver further into the opening and push it through the membrane  2 behind.

The vent opening for the water drain is now open.
Electrical connection
The dishwasher is “connector-ready” as standard for connection to an earthed socket.
The socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher has been installed.
If that is not possible, ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided on the installation side for each pole.
  Risk of fire from overheating. Connecting the dishwasher to a multi-socket adapter or to an extension lead can overload the mains connection cable. For safety reasons, do not use an extension lead or multi-socket adapter.
The electrical installation must comply with VDE 0100 requirements.
For safety reasons, we recommend using a type residual current device (RCD) in the assigned electrical installation for connecting the dishwasher.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available from the Miele Customer Service Department). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a qualified specialist or the Miele Customer Service Department.
These operating instructions and the data plate indicate the nominal power consumption and the appropriate fuse rating. Compare this information with the data of the on-site electrical connection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
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 18001–2 ISO 45001.
