• Please follow the advice on installation in these operating instructions and the installation plan.

• Before connecting the appliance, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage, frequency and fuse rating) match the mains electrical supply.

• There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug. See “Electrical connection”.

• Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply via a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

• Never open the casing of the dishwasher. Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the dishwasher will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.

• The dishwasher must not be used if the electrical connection cable is damaged. A damaged connection cable may only be replaced by a suitable connection cable of the same type. For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by the Miele
  Customer Service Department or a qualified service technician.

• The dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.

• The plastic housing of the water connection contains electrical components. It must not be dipped in water.

• There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not shorten the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.

Correct use

• This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and detergents suitable for use in commercial dishwashers only. Organic solvents and flammable liquid agents must not be used in it.
  This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components in the dishwasher and cause liquids to leak out of it.

• Only use detergents formulated for use in commercial dishwashers. Unsuitable detergents could adversely affect components of the dishwasher or the load items.

• Do not sit, stand or lean on the opened door. This would tip or damage the dishwasher.

• After any plumbing work the water pipework to the dishwasher will need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be damaged.

• Please be aware that the dishwasher may be operating at high temperatures. When the door is opened there is a danger of burning or scalding. Items, baskets and inserts must be allowed to cool down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining in containers could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash chamber before taking them out.

• The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water.

• Pre-treating items (for example with washing-up liquid and other cleaning agents) as well as some types of soiling and some cleaning agents can cause a build-up of foam in the wash cabinet. Foam can have an adverse effect on the cleaning result.

• Foam escaping from the wash cabinet can cause damage to the dishwasher. If foam escapes the programme must be cancelled immediately and the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electrical supply.

• There may be a risk of slipping if liquid is spilt on the floor depending on the type of flooring and footwear being worn. Keep the floor dry where possible and take care to clean up any liquid spills straight away. Take the necessary precautions when cleaning up hazardous substances and hot liquids.

• When using cleaning agents and specialised products, it is essential that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed. Cleaning agents must only be used for the purpose they are designed for by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong chemical reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).

• To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids or solutions containing chloride to get into the wash cabinet or onto the casing. Similarly avoid any ferrous materials with a corrosive effect.

• Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the dishwasher.

• Do not clean the dishwasher or near vicinity with a hose or a pressure washer.

• Ensure that the outer casing of the machine does not come into contact with solutions or steam containing acid to avoid any corrosion damage.

• Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and positioning them in the dishwasher that you do not hurt yourself or create a danger for others. Sharp knives, forks, etc. should be placed in baskets with the pointed ends facing downwards.

Accessories

• Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with this dishwasher. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee and Miele cannot accept liability.
• Only use Miele baskets and inserts with this dishwasher. Using baskets and inserts made by other manufacturers, or making modifications to Miele accessories can cause unsatisfactory cleaning results, for which Miele cannot be held liable. Any resultant  damage would not be covered by the guarantee.

• Raise the door upwards until the catch engages.

Filling the container for dishwasher salt

Water hardness
In order to achieve excellent cleaning results, the machine requires a supply of soft water with a low calcium content. Hard mains water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on the load items and on the wash cabinet walls.
Mains water with a water hardness of 0.7 mmol/l (4 °dH) or more must be softened. This occurs automatically during a programme sequence in the built- in water softener.
The water softener must be set to the exact hardness of the mains water (see “Setting the water hardness”).
Your local water authority can give you information about the exact water hardness in your area.
In the event of a fault, it will help the service technician if you know the hardness of your local water supply. Record the hardness of the mains water here:
__mmol/l or
°dH
The water softener must be reactivated at regular intervals. Special dishwasher salt is  required for this. Reactivation is carried outautomatically during a programme sequence.
If the hardness level of your water is consistently less than 0.7 mmol/l (= 4 °dH), salt is not required for the water softener. However, the water hardness level must still be set.
Setting the water hardness
Water hardness can be set between 0 and 12,5 mmol/l (0–70 °dH).
The water hardness is preset to 2.5 mmol/l (14 °dH) ex-works.
With varying water hardness, always set the highest level. If the water hardness fluctuates between, for instance, 1.4 and 3.1 mmol/l (8 and 17 °dH), the water hardness must be set to 3.1 mmol/l (17 °dH).
Water hardness setting values can be found in the chart on the next page.
The menu is saved under the following input path.

• Set the water hardness level by tapping the – symbol (lower) and + symbol (higher).
• Press OK to save the setting.

If the message is being displayed for the first time, further programme runs may be possible depending on the set water hardness. If no salt is added, the message is displayed again at the end of every programme.
Reactivation notification You can set how many cleaning cycles in advance you want to be notified of the  upcoming reactivation, see “Extended settings”, “Reactivation notification”.

Machine blocked if salt is not available
If the salt in the water softener has been used up, a fault appears on the display and the machine blocked from performing further applications.Acknowledge the fault by tapping on the warning symbol. Then follow the instructions on the display:

• Fill the salt container as described.

The machine lock is lifted with a delay of a few minutes once salt has been added.

Filling the salt container
Filling the salt reservoir Use only special, coarse-grained salt with a granula size of approx. 1- 4 mm.
Do not under any circumstances use other types of salt such as table salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with cleaning agent will cause serious damage to the water softener.
Before filling the salt container make sure that you have picked up the right packet of reactivation salt.

• When filling the salt container, only open the door halfway to ensure that all the salt gets into the container.
• Press the open button on the lid of the salt container in the direction of the arrow. The flap will spring open.
• Open the funnel.

Do not pour any water into the salt container!

• Add salt into the container until the funnel is full but still closes easily. The salt container will take approx. 2 kg of salt on the first fill depending on the degree of coarseness.
  Subsequent refills may take less salt, as there may still be salt remaining in the container.

If there is water present in the container, it may be forced out by the added salt.

• Clean any excess salt from around the container opening and the seal surrounding it, and then close the flap.
• To avoid corrosion in the wash cabinet, run the Cold programme (without any load items) immediately after refilling the salt container. This will dilute and rinse away any remaining traces of salt.

Cleaning agent and rinsing agent

Dispensing systems
Risk to health due to process chemicals.
Some process chemicals may be corrosive and irritant substances.
Swallowing process chemicals can cause chemical burns in the mouth and throat or lead to asphyxiation. If process chemicals get into the eyes, they can irritate or burn them.
Observe the relevant safety regulations issued by the process chemical manufacturers when handling process  chemicals and take all the protectivemeasures stipulated by the process chemical manufacturers.
Depending on the model, dishwashers are equipped with multiple dispensing systems for process chemicals:
– Cleaning agent
Cleaning agent can be dispensed in powder form, as a tablet or in liquid form.
Powder cleaning agent and tablets are dispensed via the door dispenser with the  symbol. Depending on the model, liquid cleaning agent is dispensed either via an internal dispensing system or via an external dispensing module (DOS module).
– Rinsing agent
Depending on the model, rinsing agent can be dispensed via the door dispenser with the symbol or via an external dispensing module (DOS module).
External dispensing modules (DOS modules) can be retrofitted at any time by the Miele Customer Service Department, provided that corresponding DOS module connections are available.

Dispensing module
In addition to the internal dispensing systems, up to two additional external dispensing systems (modules) DOS can be connected for dispensing liquid process chemicals.
Labelling of the siphons
Liquid process chemicals from external containers are dispensed by siphons. Colour coding the siphons can be helpful for correct dispensing.
Specific types of soiling may require different combinations of cleaning agents and additives. The Miele Customer Service Department will be able to advise you.
Connecting dispensing modules
The dispensing module is supplied with its own installation instructions.

1. Power supply connection for DOS 1, cleaning agent (depending on the model).
2. Power supply connection for DOS 4, rinsing agent (depending on the model).
3. Connections for dispensing hoses.

Damage caused by incorrect voltage.
Before fitting the dispensing module, compare the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the module data plate with that on the data plate of your dishwasher.
If the data does not match, the module could sustain damage.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

• Connect the module to the machine’s power supply.
• To connect the dispensing hoses, release the hose clip on a free connector and remove the safety cap.
• Push the dispensing hose onto the connector and secure it with a hose clip.

Blank off unused connectors for dispensing hoses with safety caps to prevent the leakage of wash water.

Cleaning agent
Only use cleaning agent suitable for commercial dishwashers. Suitable products are available from the
Miele Professional product range.
Cleaning agent can be dispensed in powder form, as a tablet or in liquid form.
Powder cleaning agent and tablets are dispensed via the door dispenser with the symbol.
Only use cleaning agent tablets that are quick dissolving. Suitable tablets are available from the Miele Professional product range.

Filling the door dispenser
Risk to health due to dust production.
When dispensing powder cleaning agents and tablets, dust from fine cleaning agents can be stirred up. If this dust gets into the mouth, throat or eyes, it can cause irritation or burns.
When dispensing powder cleaning agents and tablets, avoid the production of dust as much as possible.
Add powder cleaning agent or a tablet to the powder cleaning agent dispenser before every wash programme (except Super Short, Cold, Reactivation and Drain). Follow the tips on the Super Short programme.

• Press the yellow button on the dispenser container with the symbol.

The flap will spring open. The flap is always open at the end of a programme run.
The level markers in the powder container with the door in the horizontal position indicate the fill level in millilitres (ml). The max. capacity is approx. 60 ml of cleaning agent.
The amount in ml equates to approx. the amount normally recommended in grams (g) for proprietary powder cleaning agents.
Powder density (grain size) can affect this amount.
Dispensing example:
Approx. 8,5 litres of water are taken into the machine for the main wash. With a cleaning agent concentration of approx. 3 g/l, you will need approx. 25 g of cleaning agent. Please observe manufacturer’s recommendations, which may vary! Add the cleaning agent to the dispenser.Close the flap.
Make sure that all of the cleaning agent has dissolved at the end of the programme.
Repeat the programme if residual cleaning agent is present.
Check whether any load items have prevented the flushing out of the dispenser container and rearrange the load items if necessary.
Tips for the Super Short programme (depending on the model)
With the Super Short programme, the final rinse water is not pumped away at the end of the programme in order to achieve short programme running times in continuous use.
Cleaning agent cannot be rinsed out of the dispenser during the short programme time.

• If liquid cleaning agent dispensing is not being used, add powder cleaning agent directly onto the inside of the door.

To avoid corrosion or discolouration, start the wash programme immediately after dispensing cleaning agent directly onto the inside of the door.
Liquid cleaning agent is dispensed from an external canister via a suction lance.
Depending on the model, liquid cleaning agent is dispensed either via an internal dispensing pump or via an external dispensing module. Dispensing modules are connected by the Miele Customer Service Department and can be retrofitted at any time.
Refill indicator
When the fill level in the cleaning agent canister is low, you are reminded to change the canister.

• Confirm the prompt with OK and change the cleaning agent canister.
• Fill the dispensing path (see “Machine functions”)

Replacing the canister

• Place the liquid cleaning agent container (note the colour marking) on the open wash cabinet door or on a surface which is robust and easy to clean.
• Take the lid off the canister and remove the suction lance. Place the suction lance on the open wash cabinet door.
• Replace the empty container with a full one.
• Push the suction lance into the opening of the container and secure the lid. Observe the colour coding.

• If you use a long suction lance in a 5 litre canister, or the 10 litre canister is only half full, the following prompt appears in the display:
• Select the canister size.
• Wipe up any spilled process chemical thoroughly.

Checking consumption
Check consumption regularly by checking the fill levels in the supply containers and replace containers in good time to avoid the  dispensing system being sucked completelydry.
Dispensing liquid cleaning agent
The dispensing concentration is set by the Miele Customer Service Department.

Rinsing agent
Rinsing agent is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on load items, and to help load items dry faster after the final rinse.
The rinsing agent concentration must be adjusted in the following circumstances:
– If there are spots of water left on load items after reprocessing, then the dispensing concentration is set too low.
– If clouding or smearing appears on load items, the dispensing concentration is set too high.
The rinsing agent is dispensed in the Final rinse programme stage. The container needs to be filled for this purpose.
In the Beer glasses programme (depending on the model), the final rinse is carried out with cold water and without rinsing agent.
Refill indicator
When the fill level in the rinsing agent container is low, you are reminded to refill the dispenser container, e.g.:

• Confirm the prompt with OK and top up the rinsing agent as described.
• Fill the dispensing path (see “Machine functions”)

• Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other items. They will cover one another.
• Make sure that all items are securely positioned.
• Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.
• Tall, narrow, hollow items should be placed in the centre of the basket if possible. This ensures better water coverage.
• Wide-based items should ideally be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely.
• The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. If in doubt, test for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms.
• If you need to wash large load items in the lower basket, you can remove the upper basket.
• Small items can fall through the holders in the baskets. They should therefore be placed in the cutlery basket.

Items not suitable for dishwashers
– Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts may discolour or fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof. Wooden parts may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher.
– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are not dishwashersafe.
– Plastic items which are not heat resistant may melt or lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items may discolour or become matt.
– Colours painted over a glaze may fade after a number of washes.
– Delicate glasses and glassware containing crystal may become cloudy over time.

We recommend
– When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwashersafe if you want to wash them in the dishwasher.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing in the dishwasher. When washing delicate glasses in the dishwasher, ensure that only a special glass- care programme with very low temperatures (see “Programme chart”) is selected and that a suitable cleaning agent is used. This will reduce the risk of clouding.
Please note:
Silver and aluminium which has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolour.
** Risk due to chemical reaction Aluminium components (e.g. grease filters) must not be cleaned in the dishwasher with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial cleaning agents.
These may damage the material. In extreme cases, they can cause a severe chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not clean pretreated aluminium components in the dishwasher.

Cleaning and care

Periodic checks
To prolong the service life of the dishwasher, maintenance should be carried out at least once a year by the Miele Customer Service Department.
This maintenance will cover the following:
– Electrical safety according to national regulations (VDE 0701/0702 in Germany)
– Door mechanism and door seal
– Any screw connections and connectors in the wash cabinet
– Water inlet and drainage
– Internal and external dispensing systems
– Spray arms
– Filter combination
– Sump including drain pump and non-return valve
– All baskets and inserts
The following operational tests will be carried out as part of the maintenance:
– A programme will be run as a test run
– Seals will be tested for water tightness
– All relevant measuring systems will be safety tested, including fault displays
– Safety features

Soiling alters the surface.
Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the surfaces to alter or discolour.
Remove any soiling from the control panel and from the machine front straight away where possible.
  All surfaces are susceptible to scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour all surfaces.
Only use suitable cleaning agents.
Cleaning the control panel

• Clean the control panel with a clean sponge and a solution of warm water and washing-up liquid, or with a clean, damp microfibre cloth. Then dry the control panel with a soft cloth.
  Damage to the user interface.
  Abrasive cleaning agents can damage the user interface.
  Do not use abrasive cleaning agents!

Cleaning the machine front

• To clean the stainless steel front, use a damp cloth with a solution of washing-up liquid and hot water, or with a nonabrasive cleaning agent for use on stainless steel.

To help prevent re-soiling (fingerprints, etc.), a suitable stainless steel care product can be used after cleaning.
**Damage to the surfaces.
Cleaning agents containing ammonia and thinners can damage surfaces.
Avoid these products when cleaning.
Damage to the dishwasher caused by ingress of water.
Do not clean the dishwasher or its immediate vicinity with a hose or a pressure washer.
Make sure that water does not enter the dishwasher when it is being cleaned.
Cleaning the wash cabinet**
The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of cleaning agent is always used.
If, despite this, limescale or grease deposits accumulate in the cabinet, these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner (available from Miele).
Cleaning the door and the door seal

• Wipe the door seal and the area beneath the door regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits.
• Wipe off any food or drink residues that may have dripped onto the sides and hinges of the dishwasher door.
• With freestanding machines that have a plinth panel, remove spillages of food and drink from the channel that runs below the door.

Risk of cutting yourself.
There is a risk of cutting yourself.
Be cautious of sharp edges when cleaning.
These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet. Water from the spray jets does not reach them. As a result, mould can develop here.
Cleaning filters in the wash cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soiling from the suds solution. It prevents soiling from entering the circulation system and causing blockages in the spray arms.
When Programme lock filter is activated, it is not possible to use the dishwasher without a micro-fine filter!
If the micro-fine filter is not inserted properly, it is not possible to start a programme and the following fault message Programme lock filter appears on the display (depending on the model).
Insert the micro-fine filter properly and make sure it is positioned correctly (see “Cleaning and care, Cleaning filters in the wash cabinet”).
The filter combination must be checked regularly and cleaned when necessary.
Risk of injury from glass splinters.
Glass splinters cannot always be detected in the filter straight away.
Take extra care when cleaning the filters.
Cleaning the coarse filter

• Press the catches towards each other and remove the coarse filter.
• Rinse the filter thoroughly under running water. If necessary, use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling.
• Replace the filter, making sure it engages correctly.

Cleaning the flat and micro-fine filters

• Remove the coarse filter.

• Grasp the micro-fine filter by the upper rim and turn it in the direction of the arrow to release it.
  Then lift it out.

• Remove the flat filter.

• Rinse the filters under running water. If necessary, use a soft washing-up brush to remove soiling.

Replace the filter combination in the reverse order, turning the micro-fine filter to the left to re-engage it.
The flat filter must lie flat in the bottom of the wash cabinet.
The spray arms may get blocked if the filters are not replaced correctly.
Ensure that the filters are positioned correctly.

Cleaning the spray arms
The dishwasher has three different spray arms.
Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm nozzles and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be checked and cleaned regularly.

• Switch the dishwasher off.
• Pull the upper spray arm downwards to remove it.
• The middle and bottom spray arms are secured with a bayonet fitting.

The middle spray arm is marked with the symbol and the lower spray arm is marked with the symbol to avoid mixing up the spray arms when they are removed.
To release the bayonet fitting, proceed as follows:

• Using the knurled nut, turn the middle   spray arm to the left as far as it will go and then pull the spray arm downwards to remove it.
• Remove the lower basket.
• Using the knurled nut, turn the lower spray arm in the direction of the arrow as far as it will go and then pull the spray arm upwards to remove it.
• Use a pointed object to push food particles into the spray arm nozzles.
• Rinse the spray arms thoroughly under running water.

Replace the spray arms and check that they rotate freely.
When inserting, pay attention to the symbols on the spray arms to prevent mixing them up.

Maintenance

Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw thread to protect the water intake 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 unplug it.

• Close the stopcock.
• Unscrew the water intake valve.
• Remove the seal from the screw thread.
• Using combination or pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar and remove the filter.
• Rinse the filter under running water.
• Reassemble in reverse order.

Screw the screw thread securely back onto the stopcock. Slowly turn on the stopcock. If water drips out, tighten the connection.
Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning.
Cleaning the drain pump and nonreturn valve
If the water has not been pumped away at the end of a wash programme (excluding the Super short programme), there may be a foreign object blocking the drain pump or the non-return valve. These are easy to remove.

• Disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical supply (switch the machine off, unplug it, or disconnect or disable the circuit breaker).
• Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and care”).
• Open the locking clamp.
• Lift out the non-return valve and rinse well under running water.
• Make sure that the vent on the outside of the non-return valve is not blocked (this vent is only visible after the non-return valve has been taken out). If it is blocked, use a pointed object to release the blockage.

The drain pump is situated under the non- return valve (see arrow).

• Check for foreign objects blocking the drain pump before replacing the nonreturn valve.
• Carefully replace the non-return valve and secure it with the locking clamp.

Customer service

Customer Service Department
If, despite following the notes in these operating instructions, you are unable to rectify a problem, please contact one of the following, quoting the fault code shown on the display:
– Your Miele dealer
– The Miele Customer Service Department
Contact details for Miele are provided at the back of these operating instructions.

• When contacting the Customer Service Department, you will need the model number and 8-digit machine number of the dishwasher.

Both are shown on the data plate, located at the top of the door.

Installation

Installation
Damage caused by condensation.
In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the furniture in the areaaround the dishwasher should be designed for commercial use.
Only use furniture that is designed for commercial use.
The dishwasher must be stable and horizontal. Any unevenness in the floor level and height of the machine can be compensated for by adjusting the four feet.The machine height can be adjusted from 820–880 mm using the machine feet.
Dishwashers with lids have an additional 15 mm in height.
The front machine feet can be adjusted with an open spanner (spanner size 13); the rear ones can be adjusted with a T20 Torx screw.
If the runners of the rear machine feet are not fitted, the machine feet can also be adjusted with the open spanner.
They are adjusted upwards when turned clockwise and downwards when turned anticlockwise.
If the dishwasher is to be installed next to other machines and furniture or in a recess, an installation space measuring at least 600 mm in width and 580 mm in depth is required.
Built-under installation
Risk of the machine tipping.
To ensure stability, a built-under dishwasher must only be installed beneath a continuous worktop that is bolted to the adjacent cabinetry.
Install the dishwasher underneath a bolted continuous worktop.
If the dishwasher is to be installed beneath a continuous worktop, an installation space measuring at least 600 mm wide, 580 mm deep and 820 mm high is required.
Dishwashers with a plinth return are supplied with a plinth filler panel. This can be fitted instead of a skirting board.
When adjusting the dishwasher height, the feet must not be unscrewed by more than 60 mm.
Hose holder
The supplied hose holders can be used to lay the power cable and the hoses for supply and waste water in a way that saves space.
The hose holder prevents hoses from kinking or crushing when installing the machine in tight recesses.
The power cable and hoses can be laid either on the left or the right, depending on the connection situation. Adjustable plinth panel
(depending on the model)
Dishwashers with internal dispensing or active drying have an adjustable plinth panel.

• Level the dishwasher.
• Open the dishwasher door halfway and loosen the two screws now visible at the top of the plinth panel.
• Pull the plinth panel upwards first and then forwards.
• Loosen the two screws on the right and left of the plinth behind the panel.
• Pull the inside of the plinth down to the floor.
• Tighten the two screws again.
• Reassemble the plinth panel by following the instructions above, but in reverse order.

Removing the machine lid
If the dishwasher is fitted with a lid, it can be removed as follows:

• Remove both securing screws on the back of the dishwasher with a screwdriver.
• Open the door.
• Unscrew the left and right fastening screws with a screwdriver.
• Lift the machine lid upwards to remove.

Levelling and securing the dishwasher
To guarantee stability, the dishwasher must be secured to the worktop after levelling.

• After levelling, secure the dishwasher to the continuous worktop.

With the door open, screw into the worktop through the holes in the front trim on the left- and right-hand sides of the dishwasher. With stainless steel or stone worktops, the dishwasher must be secured at the sides to the left and right adjacent cupboards with two screws on each side.
Special screws (4 x 27 / Torx T20) are supplied in the companion pack.
Holes must be drilled in the side wall in front of the door seal for this.
In the case of built-under dishwashers, the holes are already provided in the side walls.
The gaps between built-under dishwashers and adjacent cabinets or machines must not be filled with silicone sealant as this could compromise the ventilation of the circulation  pump.
Depending on the built-under installation situation, the cover foil supplied in the scope of delivery can be attached to the lower  edge of the worktop. The cover foil protects the lower edge of the worktop from steamdamage.
Moving the dishwasher
Before moving the dishwasher, screw in the  adjustable feet fully so that they do not getdamaged.
  Component damage caused by carrying.
Do not lift the dishwasher by any protruding components, e.g. the control panel.
These could break off.
Do not hold onto protruding components when moving the dishwasher.
Damage caused by transportation using a sack truck.
Using a sack truck to subsequently move the dishwasher may cause damage to the machine.
Only transport the dishwasher on a sack truck in its original packaging. For subsequent moves, the dishwasher must be placed on a continuous base to avoid damage.

Electrical connection

Electrical connection
Danger caused by improper electrical connection
All electrical work must be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician in accordance with local and national safety regulations.
Ask a qualified specialist to complete the electrical connection work.
– The electrical installation must be in compliance with current local and national safety regulations (DIN VDE 0100 in Germany).
– The connection to the power supply must comply with national regulations (plug and socket must be accessible after the machine has been installed). An electrical safety test can then easily be carried out in line with VDE 0701, e.g. after any service or maintenance work.
– It is recommended to connect the product with a suitably rated plug and socket.
– If the dishwasher is hard wired to the power supply, connection should be made via a mains switch with all-pole isolation.
The mains switch must ensure a gap of at least 3 mm between all open contacts and must be able to be locked in the off position.
– For increased safety, it is recommended to protect the machine with a suitable residual current device (RCD Type A) with a trip current of 30 mA (DIN VDE 0664).
– Equipotential bonding should be carried out if required.
– The mains connection cable may only be replaced by an original Miele spare part.
– For technical data, see the data plate or wiring diagram supplied.
The machine must only be operated with the voltage, frequency and fuse rating shown on the data plate.
This machine can be converted to a different type of power supply in accordance with the conversion diagram and wiring diagram supplied.
The conversion diagram and the data plate are on the dishwasher or supplied with it.
Equipotential bonding connection
There is a screw connection point marked at the back of the dishwasher, to which additional equipotential bonding can be connected.
Peak-load negotiation
The dishwasher is suitable for use in an energy management system. For this purpose, the dishwasher must be technically adapted and the controls reset by the Miele Customer Service Department.
Please contact the Miele Customer Service Department for further information.
Load management
In the event of a peak-load negotiation, some dishwasher components, such as the heater elements, will be switched off for a while. The dishwasher will remain on during this period and the current programme will not be interrupted. If one of the components  that is switched off is needed during the current programme stage, the programme running time will simply increase for the duration of the load negotiation.
Load negotiation is indicated by the following message, e.g.:

Plumbing

Connecting the water inlet
Health risk posed by process chemicals
Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water.
Do not drink water from the dishwasher.
Do not re-use removable sets of hoses.
Use the sets of hoses supplied with the dishwasher.
– The dishwasher must be connected to the water supply in strict accordance with current local and national water authority regulations.
– The water used must comply with the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations.
If the water supply has a high iron content, there is a risk of corrosion occurring on load items in the dishwasher, as well as the dishwasher itself. If the chloride content of the water exceeds 100 mg /l, the risk of corrosion on load items will be increased considerably.
– In certain regions (e.g. mountainous regions), the water composition may cause precipitates to form, requiring the use of softened water for the dishwasher.
– The water pressure (flow pressure) must amount to at least 200 kPa pressure (100 kPa = 1 bar). At a water pressure (flow pressure) below 200 kPa, the water inlet time extends automatically. The maximum permissible static pressure amounts to 1000 kPa (overpressure). If the water pressure does not lie in the 200– 1000 kPa range, contact the Miele Customer Service Department for advice.
– The dishwasher is supplied as standard for connection to cold water (blue coded hose) and hot water up to max. 60 °C (red coded hose). Connect the inlet hoses to the stopcocks for cold and hot water.
– If no hot water supply is available, the inlet hose with the red marking for the hot water connection must also be connected to the cold water supply.
– A stopcock with a 3/4 inch screw thread must be provided on site for the connection. The valve should be easily accessible, since the water inlet should be shut off whenever the machine is not in use.
– The inlet hose is a DN 10 pressure hose measuring approx. 1.7 m in length, terminating in a 3/4 inch screw thread.   Damage caused by shortening the hose.
Do not shorten or otherwise damage the inlet hoses supplied with the machine.
Do not shorten the inlet hoses.
Please also refer to the installation plan provided.

For Germany only
For the protection of drinking water, a non- return valve must be installed between the stopcock and the water connection of the dishwasher. If the building’s plumbing has been installed correctly, the connections required for this (e.g. angle valve) will already have this safety feature.
Make sure that a non-return valve is fitted in the plumbing.
Connecting the drain hose
– The dishwasher drainage system is fitted with a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose.
– The dishwasher drain hose should be connected to a separate on-site drainage system for the dishwasher only. If no separate connection is available, we recommend connecting it to a dualchamber siphon. The on-site connection must be between 0.3 m and 1 m in height, measured from the lower edge of the machine.
If the connection is lower than 0.3 m, the drain hose must be placed in an arc at least 0.3 m high.
– The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm. Hose clips are supplied with the dishwasher.
– The drain hose must not be shortened. The hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose.
The combined length of the extended drain hose must not exceed 4 m.
– The drainage system must be able to accommodate a minimum drainage flow of 16 l/min.
Damage caused by incorrect routing.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the drain hose and that it is not squashed or stretched.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the drain hose and that it is not squashed or stretched.
Please refer to the installation plan provided.
