Warning and Safety instructions Delivery This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, use and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference, and pass them on to any future user.
Warning and Safety instructions The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as heaters etc. If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-under ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion kit.
Warning and Safety instructions Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily, as you could trip over it. Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged and you could get injured. Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model) cutlery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards.
Warning and Safety instructions To avoid damage to the appliance and other materials Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause serious damage to the reservoir. Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always leads to serious damage to the water softener.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation! Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.
Before using for the first time To open the door Child safety lock ^ Press the release catch inside the door grip and pull forward. Use the child safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted. ^ To lock the door, push the slide underneath the door grip to the right. To close the door ^ Push the baskets right in. ^ Then lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position.
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 in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener. The dishwasher is set at the factory for a hardness level of 2.2 2.7 mmol/l (12 - 15 °d ).
Before using for the first time Programming the water hardness level Each time a button is pressed one of the indicator lights will flash and light up in the control panel. However, only the indicator lights mentioned in the following programming process stages are significant. The programming procedure can be cancelled at any time by pressing the On/Off button s. The procedure can then be re-started from the beginning again. ^ Switch the dishwasher off with the On/Off button s.
Before using for the first time Checking the programmed water hardness level ^ Switch the dishwasher off with the On/Off button s. ^ Turn the programme selector to the "12 o'clock" position. ^ Press the Start/Stop button in and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button s. Keep the Start/Stop button pressed in for at least four seconds until the "Start/Stop" indicator light comes on. ^ Turn the programme selector to the "3 o'clock" position.
Before using for the first time Before using the appliance for the first time you require: – approx. 2 litres of water, – approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt, – domestic dishwasher detergent, – rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that it has been previously used. The water softener requires dishwasher salt.
Before using for the first time ^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Salt indicator Only open the salt reservoir when you want to fill it with dishwasher salt as water or salt solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed. ^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use only). ^ Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt when the salt indicator light comes on. (If it comes on during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Adding 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 reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. ,Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent always causes serious damage to the reservoir.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid indicator When the light comes on the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only. ^ Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 110 ml. ^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time. ^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water would enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme. ^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.
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 approx. 0-6 ml. It is set to a recommended setting of approx. 3 ml at the factory. 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. ^ Turn the programme selector to the "5 o'clock" position.
Loading the dishwasher Note 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. Ash does not dissolve and is distributed in the wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating grease and paint cause damage to the dishwasher.
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 are also not suitable for dishwashers. – Plastic items which are not heat resistant. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
Loading the dishwasher Upper basket ,For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place. Hinged cup rack ^ To make room for tall items raise the rack upwards. Positioning rail (depending on model) Glasses can be arranged along the positioning rail to give them some support during the programme. ^ Use the upper basket for small, lightweight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc.
Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the bottom or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on three levels with 2 cm between each level. Depending on the setting of the upper basket, the following plate dimensions can be accommodated. Dishwasher with cutlery tray (see data plate for model number) The upper basket can also be set at an angle with one side high and the other side low.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket Hinged spiked insert For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc. Small items such as saucers can also be placed in the lower basket. Do not place thin, delicate glassware in the lower basket. Both sides of the rear section of the spiked insert can be lowered to make more room for large items, e.g. pots, pans and dishes. ^ Raise and then fold down one side of the spiked insert and then do the same to the other side.
Loading the dishwasher Bottle holder (depending on model) The bottle holder can be used to wash narrow items, e.g. milk and baby bottles. It can be inserted into the bottom basket in more than one place. See the areas marked in white in the illustration. However, do not place a bottle holder in the corners. Water will not be able to access the bottles properly, and they will not get properly clean.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery Cutlery tray (depending on model) If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, then place them the other way round. ^ 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 contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery basket (depending on model) ^ To avoid the risk of injury, knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket. However, cutlery placed handle down in the basket will come out cleaner and drier. ^ Fit it into the cutlery basket if required. ^ Place small spoons in the individual slots to either side of the cutlery basket. Cutlery insert for the cutlery basket Use the insert supplied for heavily soiled spoons.
Operation Detergent ,Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing up liquid. ^ You can use conventional powder detergent, tablets or liquid dishwasher detergent. Refer to the dosing instructions given by the manufacturer on the packaging. ^ Put the detergent into the dispenser compartment. ^ Do not use tablet detergent on the "Quick" programme, as the tablets will not dissolve properly. Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.
Operation Adding detergent For information Compartment I holds max. 10 ml, Compartment II holds max. 50 ml. There are markings in compartment II to assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or 30 ml when the door is open in a horizontal position. ^ Press the opening catch on the detergent 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.
Operation Switching on Starting a programme ^ Make sure the spray arms are not obstructed. ^ Turn the programme selector clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required programme. ^ Close the door. ^ Open the stopcock, if it is closed. ^ Switch the dishwasher on with the On/Off button s. The End indicator light comes on if the programme selector is not pointing at a programme. Selecting a programme Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is.
Operation At the end of a programme Unloading the dishwasher The End indicator light will come on at the end of the programme. 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. The dishwasher can now be opened and unloaded (see “Unloading the dishwasher”). ,To prevent the risk of steam If you open the door fully after switching off, the dishes will cool much faster.
Operation Interrupting a programme A programme is 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. ,Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding! Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 secs. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle.
Operation Additional functions Factory default setting If you have altered any settings from the factory default, you can re-set them back to the factory default settings as follows: ^ Switch the dishwasher off with the On/Off button s. ^ Turn the programme selector to the "12 o'clock" position. ^ Press the Start/Stop button in and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on with the On/Off button s.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the door front Check your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided. Cleaning the wash cabinet The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used. If, however, there are limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner, such as the Miele dishwasher cleaner (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department).
Cleaning and care Cleaning the control panel ,Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, glass cleaning agents or all-purpose cleaners. Because of their chemical composition they could cause serious damage to surfaces. Plastic panels: ^ This type of control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth or suitable cleaning agent designed for use on plastic.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it accessing the circulation system and re-entering the cabinet through the spray arms. ,The dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place. Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.
Cleaning and care To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened: ^ Press together the catches in the direction of the arrows a as shown, and open the filter b. ^ Rinse all the filters under running water. ^ Then close the flap so that the catch engages. 38 ^ 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 ^ Remove the lower basket. 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 dishwasher is fitted with one). ^ Push the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.
