consequences of incorrect operation.
Appliance overview
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.

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). Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system
or a power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply
(e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for
operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of
EN 50160 or an equivalent standard. The function and operation of the
protective measures provided in the domestic electrical installation and in
this Miele product must also be maintained in isolated operation or in
operation that is not synchronised with the mains power supply, or these
measures must be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As
described, for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 180012 ISO 45001.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable
switched socket using a fused 3-pin plug (it must not be hard-wired). The
electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed
so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time. 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.
Opening the door
In some programmes, the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying
process. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “Programme
options – AutoOpen”)
Warning and safety instructions The dishwasher must not be installed
underneath a hob. The high
temperatures radiated by hobs could damage the dishwasher below. For the same
reason, the appliance must not be installed next to open fires or other
appliances that give off heat, such as heaters etc., not normally found in a
kitchen. Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate (fuse
rating, frequency and voltage) match the mains electricity supply. This data
must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher.
Compare these before connecting the appliance to the mains. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician. Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains
supply until it has been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to
the door springs. The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening
mechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
whilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on the model) is
active. To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly: – The
door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are
correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open
(approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door cannot fall
open. – The door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens at the
end of the drying phase. Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not connect
the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply using a multi-socket adapter or
an extension lead. The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary
location (e.g. on a ship).
10
Warning and safety instructions
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of frost
occurring. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The reliability of
the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing
point. To avoid any damage to the dishwasher, it must only be operated when it
is connected to a fully vented plumbing system. The plastic housing of the
water connection contains a solenoid valve. The housing must not be dipped in
water. There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the hose, even
if it is too long. The integrated Miele Waterproof system offers protection
from water damage, provided that the following conditions are met: –
Installation has been carried out correctly. – The dishwasher is properly
maintained and parts are replaced
where this is noticeably required. – The stopcock is turned off during longer
absences from the home
(e.g. whilst on holiday). The waterproof system will work even when the
dishwasher is switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to
the electricity supply. The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50
and 1,000 kPa. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and call your Miele dealer or
Miele Service. While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is
invalidated.
11
Warning and safety instructions
We recommend replacing defective components with original spare parts. If
original Miele spare parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full
compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid. During
installation, maintenance and repair work, the dishwasher must be disconnected
from the mains electricity supply (switch it off and withdraw the plug from
the socket). If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be
replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available
from the Miele Customer Service Department). For safety reasons this must only
be done by the Miele Customer Service Department or a Miele authorised
technician. Correct installation The dishwasher must be installed and
connected in compliance with the supplied installation sheet.
Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher. Some metal parts pose a
risk of injury/being cut. Wear protective gloves. The way in which the
dishwasher is installed must not cause doors to be blocked when the door is
automatically opened (AutoOpen function). If the dishwasher is being used
behind closed furniture fronts (e.g. doors), ensure that the automatic door
opening mechanism is not blocked. The housing units used must be sufficiently
resistant to moisture. The installation space must be well ventilated. The
dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure problem-free
operation. In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated
dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop that is secured
to adjacent cabinetry.
12
Warning and safety instructions
A sink in the adjacent cabinet of the dishwasher must be carefully sealed.
Regularly check for leaks to avoid damage to the dishwasher. The dishwasher
must only be built into a tall unit if additional safety precautions are
taken. In order to safely install the appliance in a tall unit, please use the
Tall unit installation set and observe the installation sheet provided.
Otherwise there is the danger of the unit tipping over. The door springs must
be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are correctly adjusted when the door
remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also
important that the door cannot fall open. The appliance must only be operated
with properly adjusted door springs. If the door cannot be adjusted properly,
contact the Miele Customer Service Department. The maximum weight of the front
panel that can be aligned with the factory fitted door springs is 1012 kg
(depending on model). Correct use Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Risk
of explosion. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the
eyes, nose, mouth and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale
powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical
attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Avoid
leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could injure yourself on
the open door or trip over it. Do not sit or lean on the open door. The
dishwasher can tip over. This can injure you or damage the dishwasher.
Crockery may be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow the dishes to cool
until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them.
13
Warning and safety instructions Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated
for domestic dish-
washers. Do not use washing-up liquid. Do not use any commercial or industrial
detergents. These may cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe
explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will
cause damage to the reservoir. Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model)
with powder or liquid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos. Do
not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Detergent will
damage the water softener. Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or
other pure kitchen salt for reactivation. Other salts may contain insoluble
additives that can impair the functioning of the water softener. In
dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives and forks
should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket for safety reasons.
Knives and forks placed with the handles downwards pose a danger of injury.
Plastic items that cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as
disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not be cleaned in the
dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or
lose shape. If you use the timer option, the detergent compartment must be
dry. If it is not, wipe the detergent compartment until dry. The detergent
will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this may mean
that it is not fully rinsed out. Please observe the information given in the
“Technical data” chapter regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.
14
Warning and safety instructions Accessories and spare parts Only use original
Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-
ranty, performance and, if applicable, product liability claims will be
invalidated. Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your
dishwasher. Transport Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety.
Before using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage. Never
use a damaged dishwasher. Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position
so that no water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause
faults. If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely fasten
all loose parts such as baskets, hoses and mains connection cables.

Caring for the environment
Disposing of the packaging material
The packaging material is used for handling and protects the appliance from
transport damage. The packaging material used is selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for valuable materials and take advantage
of return options. Your Miele dealer will take the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential
for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to human
health and to the environment if disposed of with household waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your local community, with your dealer or with Miele, free of charge. By law, you are solely responsible for deleting any personal data from the old appliance prior to disposal. You are legally obliged to remove any old batteries which are not securely enclosed by the appliance and to remove any lamps without destroying them, where this is possible. These must be taken to a suitable collection point where they can be handed in free of charge. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored for disposal.
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 “Programme
options 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 water.
During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation,
only open the door with extreme caution.
Risk of injury due to door opening
automatically. The door may open automatically at the end of a programme. Keep
the area around the door free of obstructions.
To open the door, reach under the recessed grip and pull the handle.
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.
At the end of the programme, if the AutoOpen function switched is on, the door
locking pin must be fully retracted before the door is closed. Otherwise, the
door locking pin will hit the door.
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.
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.
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
Water softener
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 inner surfaces of the appliance. 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 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”). – 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 The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 2.5 mmol/l (14 °dH German scale). If your water hardness level corresponds to this setting, you can skip to the next section. However, if you have a different water hardness level, you must adjust the water softener to match your water hardness.
23
Before using for the first time
Displaying and setting the water hardness Switch the dishwasher off with the
button, if it is switched on. Press the Start button in and, whilst
holding it in, switch the dishwasher on using the button. Keep the Start
button pressed in for at least 4 seconds until the Start indicator light comes
on. If this does not happen, start the procedure from the beginning again.
Press the programme selector 2 times. The left programme indicator light will
flash rapidly 2 times at intervals.
The value set for the water hardness is shown as a figure after in the time
display. will start flashing in the time display. A water hardness of 14 °dH
is set. Use the Start button to set the water
hardness value in your area. The dosage amount increases each time you press
the button. When the highest value is reached, the setting starts again from
the beginning. The setting is now saved. Switch the dishwasher off with the
button.
24
Before using for the first time
Dishwasher salt
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 Powder detergent and detergent tabs”). If the
water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH
German scale), you do not need to add dishwasher salt. The salt refill
indicator will automatically switch off after the water hardness has been set
accordingly (see “Before using for the first time Displaying and setting the
water hardness”).
Damage to the water softener
from detergent. Detergent will damage the water softener. Do not fill the salt
reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
Damage caused by using 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 containing salt and rinse
aid in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill reminders if you wish
(see “Programme options Switching off the refill reminders”).
Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergent products, you
refill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders back on
if required.
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 the Salt indicator lights up,
wait until the end of the programme and then refill the salt reservoir.
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 refill reminder may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. It will go out once the salt concentration has reached the correct level. 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. 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 container.
The lid will spring open.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents excess foam developing during the
next programme.
Filling the rinse aid container When the refill reminder Rinse aid appears in
the display, the container contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3 programmes
only. Refill with rinse aid in plenty of time. The rinse aid refill reminder
will disappear.
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 “Programme options Switching off the refill reminders”).
Fill with rinse aid until the filling level indicator (arrow) changes to a
dark colour while the door is horizontally open.
The rinse aid container holds approximately 110 ml. Close the lid firmly until
you hear it
click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid container during a
programme.
29
Before using for the first time
Setting the rinse aid dosage 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.
Switch the dishwasher off with the button, if it is switched on.
Press the Start button in and, whilst holding it in, switch the dishwasher on
using the button. Keep the Start button pressed in for at least 4 seconds
until the Start indicator light comes on.
If this does not happen, start the procedure from the beginning again. Press
the programme selection
button 3 times. The left indicator light will flash rapidly 3 times at
intervals. The dosage set will appear in the time display after . will start
flashing in the time display. Setting 3 is set. Use the Start button to select
the re-
quired setting. The dosage amount increases each time you press the button.
When the highest value is reached, the setting starts again from the
beginning. The setting is now saved. Switch the dishwasher off with the
button.

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.
31
Loading the dishwasher
General information
Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to pre-wash 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, observing the following notes:
– 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 inverted in the basket. – 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 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. 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 cutlery 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.
32
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 dishwasher-proof. – Plastic items that are not
heat resistant: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt
or lose shape. – Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items: these may discolour
or become dull. – Colours painted over a glaze: this type of decoration may
fade after a number of cycles. – Delicate glassware and glassware containing
lead crystal: clouding may occur over time. Silverware
Risk of damage due to unsuitable
detergents. If silverware is cleaned using an unsuitable cleaning agent, it
can be irreparably damaged.
Silverware that has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can
discolour. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish,
fish brine and marinades. Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish
may still be damp or spotted at the end of a programme, where water has not
run off smoothly. Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.
Damage due to caustic alkaline
cleaning agents. Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease filters of cooker hoods) can
be damaged by caustic alkaline cleaning agents. In extreme cases, there is a
risk of an explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas
reaction). Aluminium components must not be cleaned in the dishwasher with
caustic alkaline commercial or industrial cleaning agents.
Tip: When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasherproof if you want to wash them in the dishwasher.
Glass care – Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing in the dishwasher. When washing delicate glassware in the
dishwasher, ensure that only a special glass care programme with very low
temperatures is selected (see “Programme overview”). This will reduce the risk
of clouding. – Purchase glassware that is dishwasher-safe (e.g. Riedel
glassware). – Use detergents with glass protective additives.

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
Damage due to leaking water.
If you run the dishwasher without the upper basket, water can leak out of the
dishwasher. Only run the dishwasher with the upper basket in place (except
during the programme Tall items, if available).
Use the upper basket for small, lightweight and delicate items such as cups,
saucers, glasses, dessert bowls etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also
be placed in the upper basket.
Long items such as soup ladles and mixing spoons should be placed lying down
across the front of the upper basket.
Loading the FlexCare cup rack You can put cups, small bowls and flat crockery
on the FlexCare cup rack. Glasses can be arranged along the cup rack so they
sit securely during the programme.
Lower the cup rack to do so. Raise the cup rack upwards to make
room for tall items.
34
Adjusting the FlexCare cup rack You can set the height and depth of the cup rack at 2 different levels so that it can accommodate larger cups and so that taller crockery can be placed underneath it.
Loading the dishwasher
Pull the cup rack upwards and click it into the desired position (see arrow).
35
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.
Lower the upper basket:
Raise the upper basket: Lift the basket up until it clicks into
place.
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. 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.
Pull the insert inwards by the yellow handle and click it into place in one of
the two positions.
If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, then lay them the other way
round.
38
Loading the cutlery basket (if present)
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. Place
small items of cutlery in the individual slots on 3 sides of the cutlery
basket.
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.
Fit the insert onto the cutlery basket if required.
Place cutlery into the insert with the handles facing downwards.
Arrange them evenly along the insert.

Detergent
Active ingredients
Risk of damage due to unsuitable
detergents. Detergents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can
cause damage to the dishwasher or to the load items. Only use detergents
formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of
which are: – Water softening complexing agents to
prevent limescale. – Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on soil-
ing. – Enzymes to break down starch and
loosen protein. – Oxygen-based bleaching agents to re-
move coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee, tomato sauce). Most dishwasher
detergents are mildly alkaline and contain enzymes and oxygen bleach.
There are different types of detergent: – Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the
load size and the level of soiling. – Detergent tabs. These are suitable for
most levels of soiling. As well as the usual detergents, combination products
are also available. These contain rinse aid and water softener (dishwasher
salt). Only use these combination detergents for the water hardness levels
recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. The cleaning and drying
performance of these combination detergents can vary greatly. Please make sure
that if you stop using combination detergent products, you refill the
dishwasher salt and rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders back on if
required.
For optimum cleaning and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and dispense
salt and rinse aid separately.
44
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.
45
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.
46
Operation
Switching on the dishwasher
Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely.
Close the door. Open the stopcock, if it is closed. Press the button. The
Start indicator light flashes and the indicator light comes on next to the
programme selected.
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. The programme duration will appear in hours and minutes
in 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.
47
Operation
Display of programme running time
The duration of the programme selected appears in hours and minutes in the
display before the programme begins. During the programme sequence, the time
left until the end of the programme is displayed. The displayed duration may
vary for the same programme. It is influenced by, for example, the temperature
of the incoming water, the reactivation cycle of the water softener, the
detergent type and the amount of crockery and how soiled it is. When a
programme is selected for the first time, the display will show the average
running time for a cold water connection. The running times shown in the
“Programme overview” chapter refer to standard test loads and temperatures.
For each programme sequence, the control module calculates the programme
running time according to the temperature of the water taken into the
dishwasher and the size of the load.
Starting the programme
Press the Start button. The programme starts.
The Start indicator light will come on.
Risk of scalding due to hot water.
During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation,
only open the door with extreme caution.
48
Operation
End of programme
The programme has ended when : shows in the display. In some programmes, if
the AutoOpen function is activated, the door will automatically open slightly
(see “Programme options AutoOpen”). This improves the drying process.
The drying fan may continue to run for a few minutes at the end of the
programme.
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.
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 “Programme
options AutoOpen”), and would like to open the door as soon as the programme
has finished, make sure that you open the door fully.
49
Operation
Switching off the dishwasher
The dishwasher can be switched off at any time using the button.
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.
50
Interrupting a programme
A programme will be interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is
closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the
door was opened.
Risk of scalding due to hot water.
During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation,
only open the door with extreme caution.
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.
If a programme has already started and you wish to cancel it, proceed as
follows: Switch the dishwasher off with the
button. 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.
51
Options
Timer
You can set the start time of a programme. The programme start time can be
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.
Danger to health due to deter-
gent. To prevent children coming into contact with dishwasher detergent: Do
not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the programme,
i.e. before you activate the timer. Use the safety lock to secure the
dishwasher door.
Activating the timer Switch the dishwasher on with the
button. The Start indicator light will flash. Select the programme you want to
use. Press the Timer button. The most recently set time will be shown on the
time display. The Timer indicator light will light up. Set the required time
after which the

64
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 and care
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of
detergent is always used. If, despite this, limescale or grease deposits build
up in the cabinet, these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner
(available from the Miele Customer Service Department or the Miele webshop).
Follow the instructions on the product packaging. 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. Clean the
filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
65
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the door and the door seal
The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door cannot be reached and
cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a result, mould can develop here. Wipe the
door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits. Wipe off any food or drink residues
that may have dripped onto the sides of dishwasher door.
Cleaning the control field
The control field should only be wiped with a clean, damp cloth.
Cleaning the appliance front
Damage due to soiling.
Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could
cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour. It is therefore best to
remove any soiling immediately.
Clean the appliance front with a soft sponge cloth and a solution of warm
water and washing-up liquid. After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a
soft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth without dishwasher detergent can
also be used.
To avoid damaging the external surfaces, do not use the following: – Cleaning
agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids or chlorides – Descaling agents – Abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
scour-
ing powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones – Cleaning agents containing
solvents – Stainless steel cleaners – Dishwasher cleaners – Oven cleaner –
Glass cleaning agents – Hard, abrasive brushes, cloths or sponges, e.g. pot
scourers, brushes or sponges that have been previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents – Eraser stain remover blocks – Sharp metal scrapers – Wire
wool – Steam cleaners
66
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm nozzles and bearings. The
spray arms should therefore be inspected regularly (approx. every 2 4
months).
Never run a wash programme without using the spray arms.
Damage due to soiling entering
the circulation system. Without filters, soiling can enter the circulation
system and cause a blockage. Do not run a wash programme without the lower
spray arm or without the filters. When cleaning the filters and spray arms,
make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system.
Switch the dishwasher off.
Removing the cutlery tray (if present) In order to be able to remove the upper

Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely.
Damage due to soiling entering
the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter
combination. Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system
and cause a blockage. Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm
or without the filters.
70
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 time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary
depending on use. Monitor the condition of the filter
combination regularly and clean it if necessary.
Remove the filter combination.
71
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

or without the filters.
72
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw thread to protect the water inlet valve.
If the filter is soiled, insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet.
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage. The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical
valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains. To do this, turn off the dishwasher,
switch off at the socket and remove the plug.
Close the stopcock. Unscrew the water inlet valve.
Remove the seal from the screw thread.
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter slat and remove the
filter.
Rinse the filter under running water. Reassemble in reverse order.
Screw the screw thread securely back onto the stopcock. Slowly open the stopcock. If water drips out, tighten the screw thread.
Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning.
73
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.

Cleaning and care
Damage due to incorrect clean-
ing. The components are delicate and can be damaged during cleaning. Take care
when cleaning the drain pump.
The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover.
Risk of injury from glass splinters.
It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump. Take care
when cleaning the drain pump. Carefully remove all foreign objects from the
drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it. You will
feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller. Refit the cover by
placing it down vertically from above. Ensure that the catch engages
correctly.

dishwasher in any way. If in doubt, contact a suitably qualified plumber.
82
Problem solving guide
Unsatisfactory washing result
Problem The wash items are not clean.
There are smears on glassware and cutlery. There is a bluish sheen on the
surface of glassware. The film can be wiped off.
Cause and remedy
The wash items were not loaded correctly. See notes in the “Loading the
dishwasher” chapter.
The programme was not powerful enough. Select a more powerful programme (see
“Pro-
gramme overview” chapter). Activate the Extra clean function (see “Programme
options Extra clean”). Activate the “Second interim rinse” function (see
“Programme options Second interim rinse”).
Not enough detergent was dispensed during manual detergent dispensing. Use
more detergent or change the detergent you
are using.
Items are blocking the path of the spray arms. Carry out a rotation check and
if needed rearrange
the items so that the spray arms can rotate freely.
The filter combination in the wash cabinet is not clean or was incorrectly
fitted. This may have caused the spray arm jets to become blocked. Clean
and/or fit the filter combination correctly. Clean the spray arm jets if
necessary (see “Clean-
ing and care” chapter, “Cleaning the spray arms” section).
The rinse aid dosage is set too high. Reduce the dosage (see “Before using for
the first
time Rinse aid”).

Problem The crockery is not dry or cutlery and glasses are flecked.
Glassware has a brown or blue tinge. The film cannot be wiped off. Glassware
is dull and discoloured. The film cannot be wiped off. Tea or lipstick stains
have not been completely removed. Plastic items are discoloured.
Cause and remedy
The rinse aid dosage is too low or the rinse aid container is empty. Replenish
the rinse aid container, increase the
dosage or change the brand of rinse aid (see “Before using for the first time
Rinse aid”).
The crockery was taken out of the wash cabinet too soon. Leave the crockery in
longer (see “Operation Un-
loading the dishwasher”).
The duration of the drying phase for the selected programme is not sufficient
for the crockery. Select the Extra dry programme option if available
(see “Programme options Extra dry”).
You have used combination products that have insufficient drying performance.
Switch to another detergent, or replenish the rinse
aid (see “Before using for the first time Rinse aid”).
Ingredients from the detergent have formed a deposit. Switch to another
detergent straight away.
The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surface has altered. No remedy.
Purchase glassware that is dishwasher-proof.
The wash temperature of the selected programme was too low. Select a programme
with a higher main wash tem-
perature.
The bleaching effect of the detergent used is too low. Switch to another
detergent.
Natural dyes, e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or ketchup may be the cause. The
amount of detergent used or its bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal
with natural dyes. Use more detergent (see “Detergent”).
Parts that are already discoloured will not revert to their original colour.

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
Health risk due to wash water.
Water in the dishwasher is not drinking water. Do not drink any water from the
dishwasher.
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water. The quality of the incoming water must
correspond to the drinking water specification of the country in which the
dishwasher is being operated. Connect the dishwasher to a drinking water
supply.
The dishwasher may be connected to cold or hot water (up to max. 60 °C) supplies. If energy-saving water heating sources such as solar energy circulation systems are used, we recommend connecting to the hot water supply. This saves both time and electrical energy costs. Hot water is used in all programmes. The water 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 dealers or the Miele Customer Service Department. A stopcock with a ¾” threaded union is required for the connection. If a stopcock is not available, only a qualified installer may connect the dishwasher to the drinking water supply. The water connection pressure must be between 50 and 1000 kPa. If the water connection pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted.
90
INSTALLATION
Installation
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 seal and screw thread if
appropriate.
Regulation in Germany
For the protection of drinking water, the non-return valve supplied with the
dishwasher must be installed between the stopcock and the water inlet hose.
1
2
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).
Screw the non-return valve onto the stopcock.
Screw the water inlet hose onto the thread of the non-return valve.
Risk of damage due to excessive
pressure. A brief increase in the water pressure can damage components of the
dishwasher. This dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a
fully vented plumbing system.
91
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.
92
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 can cause the
wash cabinet to empty itself of water during a programme. Open the dishwasher
door fully.
1
2
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.
Electrical connection
The dishwasher is “connector-ready” as standard for connection to an earthed
socket. The socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher has been
installed. If that is not possible, ensure that a suitable means of
disconnection is provided on the installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the dishwasher to a multi-socket adapter or to an extension lead
can overload the mains connection cable. For safety reasons, do not use an
extension lead or multi-socket adapter.
The electrical installation must comply with VDE 0100 requirements. For safety
reasons, we recommend using a type residual current device (RCD) in the
assigned electrical installation for connecting the dishwasher. If the mains
connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains
connection cable of the same type (available from the Miele Customer Service
Department). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a
qualified specialist or the Miele Customer Service Department.
These operating instructions and the data plate indicate the nominal power consumption and the appropriate fuse rating. Compare this information with the data of the on-site electrical connection. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard. The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 180012 ISO 45001.
