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.
5
Warning and safety instructions Appropriate use This dishwasher is intended
for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments. This dishwasher is not intended
for outdoor use. This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to
4000 m above sea level. This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning
domestic crockery and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted. The
appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised
whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
6
Warning and safety instructions Safety with children Children under 8 years of
age must be kept away from the dish-
washer 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.
7
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 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). Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assured if
it has been connected to the mains electricity supply. The dishwasher must
only be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable 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.
8
Warning and safety instructions
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.
9
Warning and safety instructions
The plastic housing of the water connection contains a solenoid valve. The
housing must not be dipped in water. There are live wires in the water inlet
hose. Do not cut the hose, even if it is too long. The integrated Waterproof
system offers protection from water damage, provided that the following
conditions are met: – Installation has been carried out correctly – The
dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced
where this is noticeably required – The stopcock is turned off during longer
absences from the home
(e.g. whilst on holiday). The Waterproof system will work even when the
dishwasher is switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to
the electricity supply. The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50
and 1,000 kPa. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and call your Miele dealer 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).
10
Warning and safety instructions
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. Correct
installation The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with
the supplied installation sheet.
Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher. Some metal parts pose a
risk of injury/being cut. Wear protective gloves. The dishwasher must be
correctly aligned horizontally to ensure problem-free operation. In order to
ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be
installed under a continuous worktop that is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additional safety
precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance in a tall
unit, please use the Tall unit installation set and observe the installation
sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit tipping over. The
door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are correctly
adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45°
opening angle). It is also important that the door cannot fall open. The
appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door springs. If the
door cannot be adjusted properly, contact the Miele Customer Service
Department. The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the
factory fitted door springs is 1012 kg (depending on model).
11
Warning and safety instructions
Correct use Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Risk of explosion.
Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose,
mouth and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale powder
detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical attention
immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Avoid leaving the
dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could injure yourself on the open door
or trip over it. Do not sit or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could tip
over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher. Crockery may be very hot
at the end of the programme. Allow the dishes to cool until they are
comfortable enough to handle before unloading them. Only use detergent and
rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may cause material
damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical reaction (such as
an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction). Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir
with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause damage to the reservoir. Do
not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or liquid detergent.
Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos. Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent. Detergent will damage the water softener. Only use
special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen salt for
reactivation. Other salts may contain insoluble additives that can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
12
Warning and safety instructions
In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives and forks
should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket for safety reasons.
Knives and forks placed with the handles downwards pose a danger of injury.
However, cutlery placed handle down in the basket will come out cleaner and
drier. Plastic items that cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as
disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not be cleaned in the
dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or
lose shape. If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent
compartment must be dry. If it is not, wipe it until dry. The detergent will
clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this may mean that
it is not fully rinsed out. Please observe the information given in the
“Technical data” chapter regarding the capacity of the dishwasher. Accessories
and spare parts Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance and, if applicable, product liability claims will be
invalidated. Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for 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.
13
Warning and safety instructions 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
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling
the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process
and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to
human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or
if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old
appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.
20
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”
chapter, “AutoOpen”).
At the end of the programme, if the AutoOpen function is on, the door locking
pins automatically retract.
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 wa-
ter. 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 open-
ing automatically. The door may open automatically at the end of a programme.
Keep the area around the door free of obstructions.
To open the door, reach under the door grip and pull.
Open the door fully to disengage the locking mechanism.
21
Before using for the first time
Closing the door
Push the baskets right in. Raise the door upwards until the
catch engages.
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.
Activating the safety lock
Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. The door
can then only be opened by using a lot of force.
To lock the door, push the slide underneath the door grip to the right.
To unlock the door, push the slide to the left.
22
Before using for the first time
Basic settings
Switching on the dishwasher Switch the dishwasher on with the
button. The welcome screen will appear when the dishwasher is switched on. For
further information about the display functionality, see the “Display
functions” section in the “Guide to the appliance” chapter.
Setting the language The display will then change automatically to the screen
for setting the language. Select the language you want as well
as the country, if applicable, using the buttons and confirm with OK. For
further information on setting the language, see the “Language” section in the
“Settings” chapter. A tick will appear next to the language that has been set.
Setting the water hardness level The display will change to the screen for
setting the water hardness. – You should programme the dish-
washer 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.
23
Before using for the first time
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 briefly appear
in the display and the indicator light for the programme selected will come
on. 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.
24
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 3 minutes. The above only applies to the ECO
programme at a water hardness of 2.5 mmol/l (14 °dH German scale). For other
programmes and water hardness levels, the frequency of reactivation will
differ. In order to be reactivated, the water softener requires dishwasher
salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH
German scale), dishwasher salt is not required if combination detergents are
being used (see “Detergent Active ingredients”).
If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l (5
°dH German scale) you do not need to add dishwasher salt. The salt refill
indicator will automatically switch off after the water hardness has been set
accordingly (see “Settings Water hardness”).
Damage to the water softener
from detergent. Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener. Do not
fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
Damage caused by using unsuit-
able 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 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.
25
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.
26
Before using for the first time
Refilling the salt When Refill salt appears in the dis-
play, 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).
27
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”). 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.
28
Before using for the first time
Adding rinse aid
Press the yellow button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir.
The lid will spring open.
Close the lid firmly until you hear it click into place. Otherwise, water can
enter the rinse aid reservoir during a 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.
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.
29
Settings
You can alter the dishwasher’s controls to suit changing requirements by
adjusting the settings. The settings can be altered at any time.
Opening the settings menu
Switch the dishwasher on with the button if it is switched off.
Use the programme selection button to select the Further programmes/settings

Water hardness
Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener. – You should programme the
dish-
washer to the correct water hardness for your area. – Your local water
authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
– Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 15
°dH – German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7
mmol/l or 15 °dH in this example).
If the water hardness in your area is available in a unit other than °dH, you
can convert the values as follows: 1 °dH = 0.18 mmol/l = 1.78 °fH
Setting the water hardness level Select the water hardness level in
your area and confirm using OK.

Settings
Rinse aid
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results. The rinse aid dosage can
be set from 0 to 6 ml. 3 ml is the factory default setting. The rinse aid
dosage can turn out to be higher than the set value due to the automatic
adjustment of the programme. If spots appear on crockery and glassware: –
Increase the rinse aid dosage. If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and
glassware: – Decrease the rinse aid dosage.
Consumption (EcoFeedback)
You can set whether the energy and water consumption is displayed for the

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-
wash items under running water, and this unnecessarily increases water and
energy consumption. – For the most economical dishwashing, make full use of
the basket capacity without overloading the dishwasher. This results in the
most economical dishwashing in terms of energy and water consumption. – Choose
the programme to suit the type of crockery being washed and the degree of
soiling (see “Programme overview”). – Select the ECO programme for energy-
saving dishwashing. This programme is the most efficient in terms of its
combined energy and water consumption for cleaning crockery with a normal
level of soiling. – Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on
detergent dosage. – When using powder or liquid detergent, you can use 1/3
less detergent if the baskets are only half full.
– You can connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply. A hot water connection is particularly suitable with energy-saving water heating sources, such as solar energy with a circulation system. If the water is heated by electricity, we would recommend connection to cold water.
36
Caring for the environment
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 be-
fore the programme begins – The actual consumption at the end of
the programme – The total consumption of the dish-
washer
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. Display consumption At the end of the programme you can call up the actual
amount of energy and water used by the programme that has just been run.
Confirm the Consumption (OK) mes-
sage 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).

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 in-
side 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.
38
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.
39
Loading the dishwasher
Upper basket
See the “Loading the dishwasher” chapter, “Loading examples” section for
examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. Loading 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.
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.
Lower the cup rack to do so. Raise the cup rack upwards to make
room for tall items.
40
Loading the dishwasher
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.
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.
Pull the cup rack upwards and click it into the desired position (see arrow).
Lower the cup rack and lean the glasses against the openings.

Loading the dishwasher
Adjusting the upper basket
In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the lower basket
or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on 3 levels with 2 cm
between each level. The upper basket can also be set at an angle so that water
can run off freely from recesses. Make sure, however, that the basket can
slide smoothly in and out of the wash cabinet. Pull out the upper basket.
To raise the upper basket: Lift the basket up until it clicks into
place.
To lower the upper basket: Pull upwards on the levers at either
side of the upper basket. Adjust the basket to the desired
height and then push the levers securely back down into position.
When adjusting the upper basket, make sure that tall plates in the lower
basket do not block the middle spray arm.

Cutlery tray/cutlery basket (depending on model)
See the “Loading the dishwasher” chapter, “Loading examples” section for
examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. Load the cutlery into the 3D
MultiFlex
tray or into the cutlery basket (depending on the model).
Loading the 3D MultiFlex tray To make unloading easier, cutlery should be
grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Spoon
heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers
on the base of the tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.
You can push the left insert to the middle in order to accommodate tall items
of crockery and long stemmed glasses in the upper basket (see “Upper basket”
Loading the silicone elements of the FlexCare cup rack”). You can put large
and long cutlery in the recessed centre part of the tray.
Arrange tall items (such as cake servers) so that they do not block the upper
spray arm. You can adjust the height of the righthand insert to create more
space in the right-hand part of the tray for larger cutlery items or smaller
pieces of crockery.
If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, then lay them the other way round.
Pull the insert inwards by the yellow handle and click it into place in one of the two positions.
46
Loading the cutlery basket
Loading the dishwasher
The cutlery basket can be placed anywhere on the front rows of spikes in the
left or right corner of the lower basket. To avoid the risk of injury, knives
and
forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the cutlery basket.
However, cutlery placed handle down in the cutlery basket will come out
cleaner and drier. Place small items of cutlery in the individual slots on
three sides of the cutlery basket.
Fit the insert onto the cutlery basket if required.
Loading the cutlery insert for the cutlery basket Use the insert supplied for heavily soiled items of cutlery. As this insert separates the items, they do not overlap and can be more easily accessed by the water jets.

Detergent
Active ingredients
Damage caused by using unsuit-
able 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.
52
Detergent
Risk of chemical burns from de-
tergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes,
nose, mouth and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale powder
detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical attention
immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep children away
from detergents. Detergent residues could still be present in the dishwasher.
Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Do not fill the
detergent dispenser until just before starting the programme and activate the
door safety lock (depending on model).
Detergent dispensing
The detergent compartment holds a maximum of 50 ml. There are marks in the
detergent compartment to aid with dispensing: 20, 30, max. When the door is
opened to a horizontal position, they show the approximate fill level in ml
and the maximum fill height. Follow the detergent dosage recom-
mended 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.
53
Detergent
Adding 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.
Ensure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use. This
prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together.
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.
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”).
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment.
Push the lid shut until you hear it click into place.
54

consumption may be shown for the chosen programme for several seconds. Then
the display will show the estimated duration for the selected programme. The
Start indicator light will flash.
Selecting a programme
Choose your programme according to the type of crockery and the degree of
soiling. The different programmes and their uses are described under
“Programme overview”. Use the programme selection but-
ton to select the programme you want. The indicator light for the programme
selected will come on. Further programmes can be selected under . Use the
programme selection button to select the option. The first of the further
programmes will appear in the display. Use the buttons to select the programme
you want from the display. You can now select programme options (see
“Programme options”). If any programme options are selected, the appropriate
indicator lights will also light up.
55
Operation
Display programme duration
The estimated duration of the selected programme appears on the display before
the programme begins. 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 with the same programme. It is influenced by,
for example, the water temperature at each inlet, the reactivation process 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 inlet. The programme
durations shown in the “Programme overview” chapter refer to standard test
loads and temperatures. Each time a programme is run, the control-display
module calculates the programme duration required according to the temperature
of the water taken into the dishwasher and the size of the load.
Starting the programme
Press the Start button. If necessary, confirm the previously displayed message
with OK.
The programme starts. The Start indicator light will come on.
During the programme sequence, you can use OK to display the name of the
programme that is currently running.
Risk of scalding due to hot wa-
ter. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During
operation, only open the door with extreme caution.
56
Operation
End of programme
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” chapter, “AutoOpen” section). 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” chapter, “EcoFeedback
consumption indicator” section).
Energy management
To save energy, the dishwasher will switch off automatically 10 minutes after
the last time a button is pressed or after the end of a programme. You can
switch the dishwasher back on again with the button.
The dishwasher will not switch itself off whilst a programme is running or if
there is a fault.
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”
chapter, “AutoOpen” section), but would still like to open the door at the end
of the programme, then make sure that you open the door fully.
57
Operation
Switching off the dishwasher
The dishwasher can be switched off at any time using the button.
Confirm the query Switch off with OK. 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 wa-
ter. 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.
58
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 wa-
ter. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During
operation, only open the door with extreme caution.
Operation
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: Switch the dishwasher off with the
button. Confirm the query Switch off with OK. If you would like to select
another programme: Switch the dishwasher on again with
the button. If you have dispensed detergent
manually, check whether the detergent compartment is still closed. If the lid
is already open, fill it with detergent again and close the lid. Select the
programme you want, and then start it.
59

delayed for between 30 minutes and 24 hours. With start time delays between 30
minutes and 3 hours, the delay can be set in 30 minute stages. It is set in
hours for periods longer than this.
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.
Activating the timer Switch the dishwasher on with the

Programme overview
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.
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.
66
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. Switch
the dishwasher on with the
button. The Start indicator light will flash. Select a different programme as
re-
quired. Press the button for the programme
option you want. The indicator light will come on for the relevant button if
the programme option is available for the programme selected. 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. Press the Start button to start the
programme. The selected programme option will remain active for that
particular programme until the setting is changed (except for the ECO
programme).
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.
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.
67
Cleaning and care
Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 46 months).
In this way, faults and problems can be avoided.
Damage due to unsuitable clean-
ing 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.
68
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 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 panel
The control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
69
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, ammo-
nia, 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

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.
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.
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.
Press the rail safety clips on both sides of the cutlery tray together and
remove the safety clips .

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.
73
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 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.
Remove the filter combination.
74
Cleaning and care
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.
75
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

stopcock. If water drips out, tighten the screw thread.
Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning.
76
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 .

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

INSTALLATION
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
Danger to health due to wash
water. Water in the dishwasher is not drinking water. Do not drink any water
from the dishwasher.
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated inlet water. The quality of the incoming water must
correspond to the drinking water specification of the country in which the
dishwasher is being operated. Connect the dishwasher to a drinking water
supply.
The dishwasher may be connected to cold or hot water (up to max. 65 °C) supplies. If energy-saving water heating sources such as solar energy circulation systems are used, we recommend connection to the hot water. 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 65 °C (inlet temperature). The higher the water inlet temperature, the better the cleaning and drying results. The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long. A 1.5 m long, flexible metal extension hose (tested to 14,000 kPa/140 bar) is available as an optional accessory from Miele specialist retailers or the Miele Customer Service Department.
94
INSTALLATION
Installation
A stopcock with a ¾” threaded union is required for the connection. If a
stopcock is not available, a qualified plumber should connect the dishwasher
to the domestic water supply.
A non-return valve is not required. The appliance meets the requirements of
the applicable DIN standards.
The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50 and 1,000 kPa. If the
water-connection pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be
fitted.
Risk of damage from leaking wa-
ter. 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 washer and screw thread if
appropriate.
Risk of damage due to excessive
pressure. A brief increase in the water pressure can damage components of the
dishwasher. This dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a
fully vented plumbing system.
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage. There are electrical components in the water inlet hose. The inlet
hose must not be shortened or damaged in any way (see illustration).
95
INSTALLATION
Installation
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 wa-
ter. Leaking water can cause damage. After commissioning, make sure that the
water is not leaking.
96
INSTALLATION
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 during a
programme can cause the appliance to empty itself of water. Open the
dishwasher door fully.
Installation
Remove the lower basket. Insert a screwdriver into the middle
opening of the vent valve in the left wash cabinet wall . Press the
screwdriver further into the opening and push it through the membrane behind.
The vent opening for the water drain is now open.
97
INSTALLATION
Installation
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.
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. Do not connect the dishwasher to a stand-alone inverter such as those used with an autonomous power supply, e.g. solar power. When the dishwasher is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. This could damage the electronic module.
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.
