Warning and Safety instructions This dishwasher complies with current safety requirements. Inap‐ propriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the dishwasher, please read the installation plan and the operating instructions carefully before it is installed and used for the first time. They con‐ tain important information on its installation, safety, use and main‐ tenance.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct application This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments. The dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use. It must only be used as a domestic appliance as specified in these operating instructions, for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appli‐ ance unless they are constantly supervised. Children 8 years and older may only use the dishwasher unsuper‐ vised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation. Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance unsupervised.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re‐ pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician. A damaged dishwasher is dangerous. Check it for any recognisa‐ ble damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance. The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed.
Warning and Safety instructions 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 mecha‐ nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger whilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is active. To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly: – the door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides.
Warning and Safety instructions The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water damage, provided the following conditions are met: – The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in. – The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where it can be seen that this is necessary. – the stopcock is turned off during longer absences from the home (e.g. whilst on holiday). The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct installation The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with the installation diagram supplied. Take care, both before and during installation of the dish‐ washer, not to cut yourself on the metal parts. Danger of in‐ jury. Wear protective gloves. The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free operation.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct use Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion. Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher deter‐ gents can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. You could injure yourself on the open dishwasher door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily. Do not sit or lean on the opened door.
Warning and Safety instructions In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cut‐ lery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place knives and forks etc. with the handles upwards. Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing mate‐ rial Disposing of your old appli‐ ance The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Electrical and electronic appliances of‐ ten contain valuable materials.
Caring for the environment Energy saving washing This dishwasher is exceptionally eco‐ nomical in its use of water and electrici‐ ty. You can make the most of your appli‐ ance by following these tips: – For most economical dishwashing, make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher. – Choose the programme to suit the type of crockery being washed and the degree of soiling. – Select the ECO programme (depend‐ ing on model) for energy-saving dish‐ washing.
Caring for the environment EcoFeedback consumption in‐ dicator The Consumption function is used for calling up information about the energy and water consumption of your dish‐ washer (see "Settings menu, Consump‐ tion"). 2. Actual consumption At the end of the programme you can call up the actual amount of energy and water used by the programme which has just been run. Open the door at the end of the pro‐ gramme.
Before using for the first time Opening the door Closing the door At the end of programmes with a drying phase (see "Programme chart"), the door will open automatically a little in order to help the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if pre‐ ferred (see "Settings menu, AutoOpen"). Push the baskets right in. Then raise the door up, and push un‐ til it clicks into position. Danger of injury. Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing. Pull the handle.
Before using for the first time Basic settings Time Open the door. The display will then change to the screen for setting the time. Switch the dishwasher on with the button. The welcome screen will appear when the dishwasher is switched on for the first time. Language The display will then change automati‐ cally to the screen for setting the lan‐ guage. Use the arrow buttons to select the language you want and also the country, if appropriate, and confirm your selection with OK.
Before using for the first time Water hardness The display will change to the screen for setting the water hardness. – The dishwasher must be program‐ med 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 °d - German scale) always pro‐ gramme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °d in this ex‐ ample).
Before using for the first time Before using the appliance for the first time, you require: – approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt, – domestic dishwasher detergent, – rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Every dishwasher is tested at the fac‐ tory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an in‐ dication that it has been used previ‐ ously. Dishwasher salt In order to achieve good cleaning re‐ sults, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water.
Before using for the first time Adding salt Do not fill the reservoir with water. When filling the salt reservoir only open the door halfway to ensure that all the salt gets into the reservoir. Press the button on the top of the salt reservoir in the direction of the arrow. The flap will spring open. Add salt only until the reservoir is full or until water runs out of the opening. The salt reservoir holds approx. 1 kg of salt, depending on the brand used. Do not add any more than 1 kg of salt.
Before using for the first time Add salt reminder Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for reactivation when Add salt appears. (If it appears during a pro‐ gramme, wait until the end of the pro‐ gramme). Confirm with OK. The refill reminder will go out. Risk of corrosion. Immediately after filling the salt res‐ ervoir, run the Quick wash pro‐ gramme with the Short programme option selected and without any crockery in the dishwasher to re‐ move any traces of salt from the cabinet.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure 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 storage res‐ ervoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. If you only ever use combination products containing rinse aid in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid.
Before using for the first time Add rinse aid reminder When the Add rinse aid message ap‐ pears, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only. Add rinse aid in plenty of time. Confirm with OK. The refill reminder will go out. Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening. The rinse aid reservoir holds ap‐ prox. 110 ml. Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a pro‐ gramme.
Loading the dishwasher Notes Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to rinse items under running water. Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. These will damage to the dishwasher. Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed: – Do not place crockery and cutlery in‐ side other pieces where they may be concealed.
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 dish‐ washer. – Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware: such items are not suitable for dishwash‐ ers. – Plastic items which are not heat re‐ sistant: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
Loading the dishwasher Upper basket See "Loading the dishwasher / Load‐ ing examples" for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. For safety reasons, do not oper‐ ate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place (except when running the Tall items pro‐ gramme, if available). Use the upper basket for small, light‐ weight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.
Loading the dishwasher Jumbo cup rack (depending on model) The cup rack can be set at two different widths so that it can also accommodate large cups. You can also move one of the side in‐ serts of the cutlery tray to make more room for tall glasses. Adjusting the height You can set the glass rail at two differ‐ ent heights. Pull the cup rack upwards and click it back into position at the required width. Glass rail Pull the rail upwards and click it back into position at the required height.
Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the lower or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjus‐ ted on three levels with 2 cm between each level. The upper basket can also be set at an angle with one side high and the other side low. This can be useful to help pre‐ vent water being left in deep dishes etc. Ensure, however, that the basket can be inserted smoothly into the cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket before loading it.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket See "Loading the dishwasher / Load‐ ing examples" for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc. Glasses, cups and small items such as saucers can also be placed in the lower basket. Do not place thin, deli‐ cate glassware in the lower basket. Place very large plates in the centre of the lower basket. When tilted, plates up to 35 cm in di‐ ameter can be accommodated.
Loading the dishwasher Glass rack Glass rail The glass rack can be raised to make more room for tall items. This rail is designed to hold tall glasses and glasses with stems securely. Stem glassware, e.g. wine glasses or champagne flutes, can be leaned against the glass rack or suspended from it. You can set the glass rack at two differ‐ ent heights. Lower the rail and lean tall glasses against it.
Loading the dishwasher Hinged spikes Bottle holder The spikes at the front are used for washing plates, soup bowls, platters, dessert bowls, and saucers. The bottle holder can be used to wash narrow items, e.g. milk and baby bot‐ tles. Both rows of spikes can be lowered to make more room for large items, e.g. pots, pans and dishes. If the bottle holder is not needed, lift it up and fold the sides down , as illustrated. Press the yellow lever downwards , and then lower the spikes .
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery 3D cutlery tray (depending on model) See "Loading the dishwasher / Load‐ ing examples" for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. Arrange the cutlery in the tray as shown. To make unloading much easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Spoon heads should be placed in con‐ tact with at least one of the serrated re‐ tainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery basket (depending on model) The cutlery basket can be placed any‐ where on the front rows of spikes in the lower basket. Fit it onto the cutlery basket if re‐ quired. To avoid the risk of injury, knives and forks should be placed with the han‐ dles upwards in the basket. However, cutlery placed handle down in the basket will come out cleaner and dri‐ er. Place small items of cutlery in the in‐ dividual slots on three sides of the cutlery basket.

Operation Detergent Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. Active ingredients Modern detergents contain various ac‐ tive ingredients, the most important of which are: – Complexing agents to prevent calcifi‐ cation. – Alkalis to aid removal of dried on soil‐ ing. – Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein. – Oxygen based bleaching agents to remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, cof‐ fee, tomato sauce).
Operation Detergent dosage Follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. Unless directed otherwise, use one detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml de‐ tergent to compartment II, depending on the level of soiling. With very heavy soiling you can also add a small amount of detergent to com‐ partment l. Tabs may not dissolve completely when the Quick wash programme (if available) is used. Failure to dispense the recommen‐ ded amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.
Operation Adding detergent Press the opening catch on the de‐ tergent dispenser. The flap will spring open. The flap is always open at the end of a programme. Add the required amount of detergent and close the flap. Make sure that the detergent packag‐ ing is properly closed after use to avoid it getting damp and clumping together. For information Compartment I holds max. 10 ml, Compartment II holds max. 50 ml of detergent. There are marks in compartment II to assist with dispensing: 20, 30.
Operation Switching on Selecting a programme Open the stopcock, if it is closed. Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is. Open the door. Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. Press the button for at least 2 sec‐ onds. The programme selected will appear briefly in the display and the appropri‐ ate indicator light will come on. Then, if applicable, the estimated ener‐ gy and water consumption for the pro‐ gramme selected will appear for a few seconds.
Operation Starting the programme Display Start the programme by closing the door. The estimated duration of the pro‐ gramme selected appears in hours and minutes in the display before the pro‐ gramme begins. During the programme, the time left until the end of the pro‐ gramme is displayed. The programme will begin. The in-operation indicator comes on to show that a programme has been star‐ ted. A programme should only be cancel‐ led in the first few minutes, if at all.
Operation Energy management At the end of a programme To save energy, the dishwasher will switch off automatically 10 minutes af‐ ter the last time a button has been pressed or 10 minutes after the end of the programme (see "Settings menu, Optimise standby"). At the end of a programme, the In-op‐ eration indicator light will be visible flashing slowly with the door shut. The buzzer might also be sounding. Press the button to switch the dishwasher back on.
Operation Open the door. Unloading the dishwasher The dishwasher can be switched off at any time using the button. Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comforta‐ ble enough to handle before unloading them. Switching the dishwasher off during a programme stops the programme. Switching the dishwasher off during the run-up to a delay start time (FlexiTimer) will also stop the process.
Operation Interrupting a programme A programme is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again, the pro‐ gramme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened. Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding. Only open the door if absolutely nec‐ essary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the tem‐ perature in the wash cabinet to set‐ tle.
Programme options Options You can select and deselect the options using the appropriate buttons and the display. Open the door. Switch the dishwasher on with the button. The indicator light next to the pro‐ gramme selected will come on. Select a programme. Press the button for the option you want. The indicator light will come for the rel‐ evant button will come on if the option is available for the programme selected.
Programme options FlexiTimer with EcoStart Open the door. The FlexiTimer gives you three ways of starting the programme by means of delaying the start. You can set the start time or the finish time of a programme. You also have the option of taking ad‐ vantage of time variable economy rates of electricity using the EcoStart function. Switch on the dishwasher with the button. When using the FlexiTimer, make sure that the detergent compartment is dry before adding detergent.
Programme options Start at Finish at With the Start at function, you set the exact time you want the programme to start at. With the Finish at function, you set the time you wish the programme to end at. Use the arrow buttons to set the hour and confirm with OK. The hours will be saved and the minute number block will be highlighted. Use the arrow buttons to set the minutes and confirm with OK. Use the arrow buttons to set the hour and confirm with OK.
Programme options EcoStart Changing or deleting set times The EcoStart function allows you to take advantage of time variable economy rates of electricity. Before you can use this option you must set up to three electricity tariff time zones (see "Set‐ tings menu, EcoStart"). You then set the latest time at which the programme selected should end. The dishwasher will start automatically in the cheapest tariff zone within the time set.
Programme options DetergentAgent For optimum cleaning results, the dish‐ washer automatically adjusts the pro‐ gramme sequence to the type of deter‐ gent being used. Depending on the programme, this can mean that the run‐ ning time and energy consumption vary slightly. If you only ever use combination prod‐ ucts containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can switch the re‐ minders off if you wish (see "Settings menu - Refill reminders"). The Deter‐ gentAgent function will not be affected by this.

This programme is also suitable for glasses and plastic items that do not tolerate high temperatures. Programme for very large heat-resistant items, (e.g. very deep pans). In this pro‐ gramme the upper basket is removed to make space for large items in the lower basket. This programme has a medium action to remove normal, slightly dried on residues.
Cleaning and care Check your dishwasher regularly (ap‐ prox. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided. The external surfaces of the dishwasher are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the ex‐ ternal surfaces. Cleaning the wash cabinet The wash cabinet is largely self-clean‐ ing, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the door front Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour. Remove any soiling immediately. Clean the front with a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid. After cleaning dry with a soft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth with‐ out cleaning agent can also be used.
Cleaning and care Checking the filters in the wash cabinet Cleaning the filters Switch the dishwasher off. The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it access‐ ing the circulation system and re-enter‐ ing the cabinet through the spray arms. This dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place. Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog.
Cleaning and care To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened: Press catches together in the di‐ rection of the arrows as shown, and open the filter . Rinse all the filters under running wa‐ ter. Then close the flap so that the catch engages. 64 Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Then turn the handle clockwise to lock the filter combination in place.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). Switch the dishwasher off. Remove the spray arms as follows: Take out the cutlery tray (if your dish‐ washer is fitted with one). Push the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then un‐ screw the spray arm. Push the middle spray arm upwards to engage the ratchet.
Problem solving guide Most minor faults in the performance of the appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put right without contacting the Service Depart‐ ment. The following guide may help you to find the reason for a fault, and to correct it. You should, however, note the following: Unauthorised or incorrect repairs could cause personal injury or damage to the appliance.

Maintenance Cleaning the water inlet filter A filter is incorporated in the screw con‐ nection of the valve on the water inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned when dirty, otherwise insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet. The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing must not be dipped in water. Recommendation Carefully remove the seal.
Maintenance Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve If the water has not been pumped away at the end of a programme the drain pump or the non-return valve might be blocked. They are, however, easy to clean. Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug. Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and care", "Cleaning the filters"). Scoop the water out of the cabinet using a suitable container or utensil.
