Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children 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 and pass them on to any future owner.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance could be dangerous. The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable switched socket. 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. (See "Electrical connection").
Warning and Safety instructions The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing must not be dipped in water. There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Never cut the water inlet hose, even if it is too long. Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Warning and Safety instructions Installation The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with the installation instructions. The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free operation. In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry. 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 Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always leads to serious damage to the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir! Please only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, as other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the 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 Safety lock ^ Press the release catch inside the door grip upwards and pull the door open. Use the 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 unlock the door, push the slide to the left. To close the door ^ Push the baskets right in.
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 water softener requires dishwasher salt.
Before using for the first time To programme 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 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. * In the UK, Miele branded products are available from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele.co.uk. Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test.
Before using for the first time ^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed. It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir. ^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use only). Salt indicator ^ 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 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. If you only ever use combination products in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid.
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 in plenty of time. If the "Combi tab" function has been selected the rinse aid indicator light will not come on (see "Additional functions, Extra options"). ^ Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 110 ml. ^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place.
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. ^ Press the Delay start button three times. The "Delay start" indicator will flash briefly three times at intervals. p 3 will flash in the Time display. This means that the rinse aid dosage has been set to 3 ml at the factory.
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.
