Press the button to switch the dishwasher back on.
Caring for the environment Disposing of the packaging material Disposing of your old appliance 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. Electrical and electronic appliances contain many valuable materials.
Before using for the first time Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that the dishwasher has been used previously. Opening the door In some programmes the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “Settings” chapter, “AutoOpen” section). Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot.
Before using for the first time Basic settings Setting the water hardness level Switching on the dishwasher The display will change to the screen for setting the water hardness. Open the door. Switch the dishwasher on with the button. The welcome screen will appear when the dishwasher is switched on. For further information about the display functionality, see the “Display functions” section in the “Guide to the appliance” chapter.
Before using for the first time Finally, prompts will appear in the display. After confirming these prompts with OK, the messages Refill salt and Refill rinse aid may appear. Add salt and rinse aid if necessary (see “Before using for the first time – Dishwasher salt” and “Rinse aid”). Select OK to confirm the messages. The programme selected will briefly appear in the display and the indicator light for the programme selected will come on.
Before using for the first time Dishwasher salt In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and on the wash cabinet walls. Mains water with a water hardness level higher than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70 °dH – German scale).
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.
Before using for the first time Refilling the salt When Refill salt appears in the display, wait until the end of the programme and then refill the salt reservoir. Confirm with OK. The salt refill indicator will go out. Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the load items.
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.
Before using for the first time Adding rinse aid Close the lid firmly until you hear it click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme. Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents excess foam developing during the next programme. You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for the best wash result (see “Settings” chapter, “Rinse aid” section). Filling the rinse aid reservoir Press the yellow button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir. The lid will spring open.
Settings You can alter the dishwasher’s controls to suit changing requirements by adjusting the settings. The settings can be altered at any time. Opening the settings menu Switch the dishwasher on with the button if it is switched off. Use the programme selection button to select the Further programmes/settings option . The first of the further programmes will appear in the display. Select the Settings menu option using the buttons and confirm with OK.
Settings Language Water hardness The display can be set to appear in one of several different languages. Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener. You can change the language used in the display and also the country via the Language sub-menu. - You should programme the dishwasher to the correct water hardness for your area. The flag after the word Language serves as a guide if a language that you do not understand has been set.
Settings Rinse aid Consumption (EcoFeedback) 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. You can set whether the energy and water consumption is displayed for the selected programme. This function shows the estimated consumption before a programme, and the actual consumption after the end of the programme.
Settings Display brightness Refill reminders You can set the display brightness to one of seven different levels. If you only ever use combination detergent products or automatic dispensing using Miele PowerDisks (if available), you can switch off the refill reminders for dishwasher salt and rinse aid if you wish. Buzzer A buzzer sequence will sound at the end of a programme or if there is a fault as long as the buzzers are activated.
Settings Extra clean 2nd interim rinse You can choose this function to increase the cleaning performance of the programmes. You can choose this function to increase the cleaning performance of the programmes with a second interim rinse. If you activate this function, the programme running times and the main wash temperatures will increase. The water and energy consumption may increase.
Settings Heat accumulator Software version This dishwasher is equipped with a heat accumulator (see “Caring for the environment – Heat accumulator”). You can call up the electronic software version of your dishwasher for technical support purposes. Select State Showroom The heat accumulator function can be switched off if you do not wish to use it. This will increase energy consumption. Select the State menu option. Select the setting you want and confirm with OK.
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. - 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.
Caring for the environment EcoFeedback consumption indicator The Consumption function is used for calling up information about the energy and water consumption of your dishwasher (see “Settings” chapter, “Consumption” section). The following information can be shown on the display: - An estimate of the consumption before the programme begins - The actual consumption at the end of the programme - The total consumption of the dishwasher 1.
Caring for the environment Heat accumulator This dishwasher is equipped with a heat accumulator, in which fresh water for the programme is pre-heated and stored in order to save energy. The heat accumulator is refilled with fresh water towards the end of each rinse cycle. The water is held here ready for the next rinse cycle. The heat accumulator should only be used in conjunction with a cold water connection. This function should be switched off if your dishwasher is connected to a hot water connection.
Loading the dishwasher General information Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to pre-wash items under running water.

Detergent Active ingredients Damage caused by using unsuitable detergents. Detergents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the load. Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are: - Water softening complexing agents to prevent calcification. - Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on soiling. - Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein.
Detergent Risk of chemical burns from de- Detergent dispensing 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.
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.
Operation Switching on the dishwasher Selecting a programme Open the stopcock, if it is closed. Choose your programme according to the type of crockery and the degree of soiling. Open the door. Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. Press the button. The programme selected will briefly appear in the display and the indicator light for the programme selected will come on. Next, the estimated energy and water consumption may be shown for the chosen programme for several seconds.
Operation Display of programme duration Starting the programme The estimated duration of the selected programme appears on the display before the programme begins. If the door is opened during the programme, the time left until the end of the programme is displayed. Start the programme by closing the door. If necessary, confirm the previously displayed message with OK.
Operation End of programme Energy management At the end of a programme, the optical in-operation indicator light will flash slowly with the door shut. The buzzer might also sound. 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. The optical in-operation indicator light will go out 10 minutes after the end of the programme if the door is closed. You can switch the dishwasher back on again with the button.
Operation Switching off the dishwasher Unloading the dishwasher Open the door. Confirm the query Switch off with OK. 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. Switching the dishwasher off during a programme stops the programme. If you open the door fully after switching off, the dishes will cool much faster. You can also do this to stop an ongoing timer.
Operation Interrupting a programme A programme will be interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened. Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation, only open the door with extreme caution. Cancelling or changing a programme If a programme is cancelled, important programme stages may be missed.
Options Timer Activating the 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. Open the door. 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.
Options After you have activated the timer, all the displays will switch off after a few minutes to save energy. Press the button to switch the display back on again for a few minutes. Open the door if you need to check how long the timer has left to run.

This programme is suitable for a mixed load with normal household food residues that have dried on slightly. 64 Maintenance programme The dishwasher wash cabinet is generally self-cleaning. However, if residues or deposits occur, use the Maintenance programme to clean it.
Programme options Selecting programme options Express You can use programme options to adjust the programmes. The Express programme option reduces the programme duration. To do this, you can select or deselect the programme options before running the programme. In order to achieve optimum cleaning results, the temperature, and therefore the energy consumption, will increase with this option. Open the door. Switch the dishwasher on with the button.
Cleaning and care Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4–6 months). In this way, faults and problems can be avoided. Cleaning the wash cabinet Damage due to unsuitable clean- 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. ing agents. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching.
Cleaning and care Hygiene cycle If you mainly use low temperature programmes, there is a risk of bacteria and unpleasant odours building up in the wash cabinet. If you repeatedly use low temperature programmes, you should regularly run a high temperature programme. This is to prevent the build-up of residues and odours. You can activate or deactivate a Hygiene info message (see “Settings – Hygiene cycle”).
Cleaning and care Cleaning the appliance front Damage due to soiling. Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour. It is therefore best to remove any soiling immediately. Clean the appliance front with a clean soft sponge and a solution of warm water and washing-up liquid. After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth without detergent can also be used.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms Removing the cutlery tray (if present) 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). In order to be able to remove the upper spray, you first have to remove the cutlery tray (if present). Take out the cutlery tray. Never run a wash programme without using the spray arms. Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system.
Cleaning and care Removing the top spray arm Removing the lower spray arm Remove the lower basket. Push the upper spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm by rotating the screw thread anti-clockwise . Removing the middle spray arm Rotate the screw thread of the middle spray arm clockwise and remove the spray arm . Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm anti-clockwise and pull the spray arm upwards to remove .
Cleaning and care Inserting the upper spray arm Refit the upper spray arm and tighten it by hand. Inserting the middle spray arm Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol . Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter combination. Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage.
Cleaning and care Checking the filters in the wash cabinet Cleaning the filters 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. Remove the lower spray arm (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the spray arms” section). Damage due to soiling entering Switch the dishwasher off.
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. Rotate the screw connection clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol .
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.
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”).
Cleaning and care Damage due to incorrect cleaning. 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.
