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 has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays). 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.
Before using for the first time Opening the door Closing the door 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. Safety lock Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. To open the door, reach under the door grip and pull. If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrup‐ ted. Water in the dishwasher may be hot.
Before using for the first time Water softener Enter the water hardness below: In order to achieve good cleaning re‐ sults, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in a build-up of calcium deposits on crock‐ ery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level high‐ er than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener.
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 four seconds until the Start indicator light comes on. If this does not happen, start the proce‐ dure from the beginning again. Press the button twice. The indicator will flash rapidly twice at intervals.

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 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.
Before using for the first time Adding salt Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 litres of wa‐ ter to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the reservoir. Remove the lower basket and un‐ screw the salt reservoir cap. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is re‐ moved. It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir.
Before using for the first time Add salt reminder 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). Risk of corrosion. Immediately after filling the salt res‐ ervoir, run the Sensor wash gentle programme with the Short option and without any crockery in the dish‐ washer to remove 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 Rinse aid refill reminder When the Rinse aid indicator lights up, the rinse aid reservoir contains suffi‐ cient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes on‐ ly. Add rinse aid in plenty of time. If you only ever use combination prod‐ ucts in your dishwasher, you can switch both refill reminders for salt and rinse aid off if you wish (see "Pro‐ gramme options - Refill reminders"). Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening. The rinse aid reservoir holds ap‐ prox. 110 ml.
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 is set in stages from 0 to 6. It is set to 3 at the factory. This is the recommended setting. 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 four seconds until the Start indicator light comes on.
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 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). Cup rack Raise the rack upwards to make room for tall items. Glasses can be arranged along the cup rack for support during the programme. Lower the cup rack and lean the glasses against it.
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.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery Cutlery tray 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 Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is. Close the door. The different programmes and their uses are described in the Programme chart later on in this booklet. Open the stopcock, if it is closed. Switch the dishwasher on with the button. The Start indicator light flashes and the indicator light comes on next to the programme selected.
Operation Starting the programme Time display Press the Start button. The duration of the programme selec‐ ted appears in hours and minutes in the display before the programme begins. During the programme the time left until the end of the programme is displayed. The programme will begin. The Start indicator light will come on. A programme should only be cancel‐ led in the first few minutes, if at all. Otherwise important programme stages could be omitted.
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 "Programme op‐ tions, Optimise standby"). The programme has ended when . shows in the display. Press the button to switch the dishwasher back on. The dishwasher can now be opened and unloaded.
Operation Switching off Unloading the dishwasher At the end of a programme: 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. The dishwasher can be switched off at any time using the button. Switching the dishwasher off during a programme stops the programme. Switching the dishwasher off during the run-up to a delay start time 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 Short DetergentAgent The Short option reduces the dura‐ tion of programmes in which this option is available. 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. In order to achieve optimum cleaning results consumption rates are increased with this option.
Programme options Refill reminders Press the button 9 times. If you only ever use combination prod‐ ucts in your dishwasher, you can switch the refill reminders for salt and rinse aid off if you wish. Doing so will not affect the DetergentAgent function. The indicator will flash rapidly 9 times at intervals. Switch the dishwasher off with the button, if it is switched on.
Programme options Delay start You can set the start time for a pro‐ gramme, e.g. to take advantage of night time electricity tariffs. The start time can be delayed between 30 minutes and 24 hours. The delay period is shown in 30 mi‐ nutes increments for a delay period be‐ tween 30 minutes and 9 hours 30 mi‐ nutes. It is shown in hours for periods longer than this. When using the Delay start function, make sure that the detergent com‐ partment is dry before adding deter‐ gent.
Programme options If optimise standby is switched on (see "Programme options, Optimise standby") the display will go out after a few minutes, leaving just the Start indicator flashing slowly. Starting a programme before the De‐ lay start period has elapsed: Press any button to switch the display back on again for a few minutes. Switch the dishwasher off with the button.
Programme options Adjust Sensor wash Press the button 5 times. You can adjust the Sensor wash pro‐ gramme so that it will remove stubborn soiling in a lightly soiled load. The indicator will flash rapidly 5 times at intervals. 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 four seconds until the Start indicator light comes on.
Programme options Memory Press the button 6 times. You can use the "Memory" option to save the last programme selected. Instead of the ECO programme, the last programme selected will be selected when the dishwasher is switched off and back on again or the door is opened and then closed at the end of a programme. The indicator will flash rapidly 6 times at intervals. Switch the dishwasher off with the button, if it is switched on.
Programme options Optimise standby Press the button 8 times. "Optimise standby" is activated by de‐ fault. The indicator will flash rapidly 8 times at intervals. To save energy the dishwasher will switch off automatically a few minutes after the last time a button has been pressed or after the end of a pro‐ gramme. The flashing sequence in the display shows whether Optimise standby is ac‐ tivated or not.
Programme options Factory default Press the button 19 times. If you have altered any settings from the factory default, you can re-set them back to the factory default settings. The indicator will flash once slowly and then rapidly 9 times at intervals. 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.

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. 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.

Interrupt the programme, and rearrange the items which are obstructing the spray arm. Rattling noise in the wash cabinet. Items of crockery are insecure in the wash cabinet. Interrupt the programme, and rearrange the items of crockery. A foreign object (e.g. a cherry stone) has become lodged in the drain pump.
Problem solving guide Unsatisfactory washing result Problem Cause and remedy The dishes are not clean. The dishes were not loaded correctly. See notes in "Loading the dishwasher". The programme was not powerful enough. Select a more powerful programme (see "Pro‐ gramme chart"). There is some stubborn soiling although most of the crockery is only lightly soiled (e.g. with tea stains). Select the "Adjust sensor wash" programme op‐ tion (see "Programme options"). Not enough detergent was dispensed.
Problem solving guide Problem Cause and remedy Crockery is not dry or cutlery and glasses are flecked. The rinse aid dosage is set too low or the rinse aid reservoir is empty. Replenish the reservoir, increase the dosage or change the brand of rinse aid (see "Before using for the first time, Rinse aid"). Crockery was taken out of the cabinet too soon. Leave it in for longer (see "Operation"). Combination products have been used which have impaired drying performance.

Fill the salt reservoir (see "Before using for the first time, Dishwasher salt"). The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on cor‐ rectly. Replace it, making sure that it screws back on correctly.
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.
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.
