Warning and safety instructions Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergents and from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could be detergent residues in the appliance.
Warning and safety instructions The Miele 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 machine is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).
Caring for the environment 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. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling. Disposal of your old machine Old machines may contain materials which can be reclaimed or re-cycled.
Caring for the environment Energy saving washing These dishwashers are exceptionally efficient in their use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips: If your household water system is suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply, for further economies. However, if your water is heated by electricity we would still recommend connection to cold water.
Before using for the first time Before using for the first time Before using for the first time please note the following points: See the relevant chapters for detailed information on the points below. Set the water softener The water softener unit must be set to deal with the water hardness level in your area. The salt reservoir must also first be filled with water and then with dishwasher salt. Never fill with dishwasher powder detergent.
Before using for the first time It is important to choose the correct programme The NORMAL programme and the UNIVERSAL programmes are ideally suited to everyday loads. See the programme chart for descriptions of other programmes. When the dishwasher is run for the first time the programme selected will not start for approx. 7 minutes. During these 7 minutes the "Reactivate" (Regenerate) programme step is carried out and the indicator light k illuminates.
Opening and closing the door Opening and closing the door To open the door To close the door Push the baskets right in. Lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position. Pull on the handle. If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted. Note: To open the dishwasher door without the matching door front fitted see section 3 of "Installation instructions", "Fitting the matching door front".
Water softener Water softener To avoid the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and cutlery, and in the dishwasher the water needs to be softened. To ensure a steady supply of soft water the built-in water softener must be: 1. correctly set and 2. the salt reservoir must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation. (It is not necessary to reactivate with salt if the degree of hardness in the local supply is permanently under 70 mg/l (4 °d German scale).
Water softener Settings The water softener unit has been set at the factory for a water hardness of 310 - 400 mg/l (17 °d - 22 °d German scale). If the water is harder or softer in your area, the water softener unit must be reprogrammed, and in certain circumstances the water hardness selector in the wash cabinet must be re-set, (see setting chart). See next page for programming the water softener unit.
Water softener Programming the water softener The programme touch pads are used to programme the water softener. It is possible to enter two separate values for water hardness, using the touch pad either singly (level 1) or in combination (level 2), (see settings chart). For a level 1 value the indicator in the touch pad lights up. Example: The indicator light d comes on. The water softener is set for a water hardness of 130 mg/l (7°d German scale).
Water softener Press touch pad c to be able to enter data. The indicator light c goes out. Indicator lights b, e and f also go out if previously on, and the corresponding water hardness level has not been selected. Press the touch pad corresponding to the water hardness to be set (see settings chart). While the selected pad is pressed in its indicator light stays on.
Water softener Setting the water hardness level selector in the wash cabinet The water hardness selector is set at setting 6 in the factory. It is only necessary to reset the selector if water hardness in your area measures between 650 and 1170 mg/l (36 - 65 °d German scale, see chart). °d mgl/l water hardness selector (level) 1 - 35 20- 630 6*) 36 - 47 650- 850 4 48 - 65 860-1170 5 66 - 70 1190-1260 6*) *) factory setting For technical reasons do not set the selector to setting 1 - 3.
Water softener 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. The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt. Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher detergent always leads to damage to the water softener. Make sure that you have picked up the right packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir. Remove the bottom basket.
Water softener Salt indicator Note With very soft water, i. e. constantly at a level below 70 mg/l (4 °d), the reservoir does not have to be filled with salt and although the salt light does come on, this can be disregarded. The k indicator light (marked PC) is also designated for any future updates to programmes, (see After Sales Service). When the salt reservoir is empty the indicator light k comes on. The reservoir should be refilled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Adding rinse aid Adding rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 130 cm3. Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder detergent (or liquid detergent) always leads to damage to the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Adding rinse aid Setting the dosage Add rinse aid only until it is visible on the surface of the filter in the opening. Close the flap firmly. The flap must audibly engage, otherwise water could get into the rinse aid storage container during the programme. Mop up any spilt rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occuring during the next programme. The flap should normally remain closed. Only open it for adding more rinse aid.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Important Load the crockery so that water will come into contact with all surfaces. This ensures that they will be properly cleaned. Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be concealed. Hollow items e.g. cups, glasses etc. must be inverted in the basket. Deep based items should be placed at an angle such that water runs off them freely. Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup.
Loading the dishwasher Loading examples Height limit Bottom basket Larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls. Depending on the dishwasher model glasses may only be cleaned in the bottom basket if it is fitted with a special glassware insert or if there is a special bottom basket. The height guard at the base of the upper basket is there to protect the middle spray arm. No object placed in the lower basket should stand higher than this guard.
Loading the dishwasher Upper basket Note for “Top Solo” If a wash programme has been selected with the additional option “Top Solo”, all crockery must be loaded into the upper basket and cutlery tray. As the middle spray arm also directs water downwards, lightly soiled plates or platters can be placed in the bottom basket if there are large spaces between them. Do not place dishes, bowls or other hollow containers in the bottom basket.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery Dishwasher with cutlery basket Unsorted cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket, handles facing downwards. You may, however, prefer to place cutlery with sharp points with the handles upwards to avoid possible injury. Place small spoons in the individual slots to either side of the cutlery basket. 26 Larger items like soup ladles, long knives and mixing spoons should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.
Loading the dishwasher Spoon inserts for cutlery basket Use the inserts supplied when washing heavily soiled spoons, e.g. tablespoons and serving spoons. The inserts separate the spoons to allow a space between them, for the water jets to reach the entire surface. Place the spoons into the inserts with the handles facing downwards. Only use alternate slots. When needed place one insert at the front and one at the back of the cutlery basket.
Loading the dishwasher Dishwasher with cutlery tray (SC models) For best results cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons etc. This makes unloading much easier. Ensure that spoon heads are in contact with at least one of the grips in the cutlery tray. This way they cannot collect water. Larger items like sauce ladles, cake slices, long knives and mixing spoons can be placed lengthwise in the trough in the centre of the tray.
Loading the dishwasher Flap up racks Insert for glasses (only for models with removable inserts in the bottom basket, standard feature depending on model) Can either be used for a second row of cups or raised upwards to make room for tall items. Positioning rail (standard feature depending on model) The insert for glasses can be fitted in the left or right of the bottom basket in place of a removable insert. Very tall glasses, e.g.
Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket (depending on model) In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the bottom or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted in three steps with 2 cm between each step. Depending on the setting of the upper basket the following dimensions can be accommodated: Dishwashers with cutlery tray Upper basket position Top Middle Bottom plates Ø in cm Upper Lower basket basket 15.5 30 17.5 28 19.
Items not suitable for dishwashers Items not suitable for dishwashers – cutlery with wooden or horn handles, – wooden or plastic chopping boards, – glued items, e.g. old knives with handles which have been glued on, – hand-made craft items, – copper or tin items, – plastic items which are not heat resistant. Please note – Silver- and aluminium items can suffer some discolouration. – Aluminium components (e.g. grease filter) must not be cleaned with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial detergents.
Adding detergent Adding detergent Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing up liquid. Please note Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergent and from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.
Adding detergent Preventive measures: 1. If you wish to continue using the new chlorine and phosphate-free products, the following is recommended: – Try out an environmentally friendly detergent of the same type from another manufacturer. 2. If you are still dissatisfied with the results, we recommend the use of chlorine-free but not phosphate-free detergent. – Set the water softener and dispense detergent according to instructions given in this instruction booklet. 3.
Adding detergent For information: Compartment I takes max. 25 ml, Compartment II max. 80 ml. There are horizontal markers to assist with dispensing in compartment II, indicating the level in ml. Press the opening catch on the container flap. The flap will spring open. The flap is always open at the end of a programme. Pour in the required amount of detergent. Shut the flap.
Choosing a programme Choosing a programme Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is. In most cases this will be the NORMAL programme or one of the UNIVERSAL programmes. – NORMAL 55 ° – UNIVERSAL 55 °or 65 ° These programmes are ideally suited to everyday loads, mixed loads with varying degrees of soiling. For particular needs there are special programmes: The different programmes and their uses are described on the next two pages in the Programme chart.

Starting a programme Press the touch pad for the required programme.The indicator light comes on in the touch pad pressed. If required select "Top solo" (2) before starting the programme. (see section "Additional options and functions"). Close the door. The programme starts.
Switching on and off Programme interruption Switching off A programme is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again the programme will continue from the position it was interrupted. On completion of a programme: Warning Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding ! Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise caution when doing so. Before closing the door leave it ajar for approx. 20 secs. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle.
Remove load Remove load Hot crockery will chip and break more easily. After switching off let it cool down in the dishwasher until it is comfortable enough to handle, before you unload it. If you open the door fully after switching off, the crockery will cool down much faster. First unload the bottom basket, then the upper basket and then the cutlery tray (if you have one) at the very end.
Additional options and functions Additional options and functions Top Solo (18) (for small amounts of crockery) With this option the majority of the water is directed only to the top and middle spray arms in the dishwasher. This means that the water jets are aimed only at items in the upper basket and cutlery tray. This additional option is recommended when there is only a small amount of crockery and cutlery to clean which fits into the upper basket and the cutlery tray.
Additional options and functions Switching off drying heat In all wash programmes a heater element helps with drying. The drying heat can be switched off, shortening the length of the wash programmes by approx. 2 minutes and saving approx. 0.1 kWh energy. The load then dries to a certain extent in its own heat. To assist drying the dishwasher door can be opened partially at the end of the programme to release moist air. To switch off drying heat proceed as follows: Open the door. Switch off the dishwasher.
Additional options and functions Press touch pad b The indicator light b lights up. Drying heat is now switched off. Press touch pad 2, the 2 indicator lights up and the k indicator flashes. The indicator lights b and c go out. Indicator lights e and f also go out if these have been on previously. Switching on drying heat In order to switch drying heating back on, follow the same procedure. The indicator light in touch pad b goes out if it was pressed. Press touch pad 2 once again.
Additional options and functions Switching off the buzzer A buzzer sounds to indicate the end of the rinse programme. You can switch this buzzer off. To switch off the buzzer proceed as follows: Open the door. Switch off the dishwasher. Press and hold the touch pads b and d and at the same time switch on the dishwasher. The "On" indicator light comes on and the k and c indicator lights flash. Warning: If some other indicator light flashes switch off the dishwasher and start again.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet The dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place! The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet should be regularly inspected and cleaned if necessary: Turn the handle anti-clockwise to release the filters. Lift and take the filter combination out of the machine. Remove coarse particles and rinse under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.
Cleaning and care Turn the filter combination over and open the coarse filter by pulling back on the locking device. Clean the coarse filter under running water, using a brush if necessary, and press the locking device back in. Important: After cleaning make sure that the locking device is properly locked. 46 Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Secure the filter by turning the handle in a clockwise direction.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets. The spray arms should be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 6 months). To do this remove the spray arms as follows. Lift up the middle spray arm b to engage the tooth-wheel mechanism. Then unscrew the spray arm c. Dishwashers with cutlery basket: Unscrew the upper spray arm. Dishwashers with cutlery tray: Pull out the cutlery tray.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve If 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. Watch out for glass splinters, which could cause injury. Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet. Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out of the wash cabinet. Lift up the non-return valve and rinse under running water. Raise the locking clamp.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the filter in the water inlet To clean the filter A filter is incorporated in the screw connection 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. It must not be dipped in water.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the wash cabinet In general the wash cabinet is selfcleaning, provided that the correct amount of dishwasher detergent is used. If however there are lime scale or grease deposits these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner. Cleaning the door and the door seal 50 The control panel This should only be wiped with a damp cloth, or a suitable plastic cleaner. Do not use an abrasive cleaner, a glass cleaner or an all-purpose cleaner.

Installation Installation These fully integrated dishwashers are specially designed for building into a fitted kitchen. Dimensions: The front can be fitted with a base unit front to match the kitchen furniture. To ensure stability, these dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which must be securely screwed to neighbouring units. 1) with 870 mm machine height 2) with 820 mm machine height Range of adjustment approx. 5 cm (8287 cm total height).
Installation 1. Fit worktop protection A stainless steel “niro” coverplate is supplied with the machine to protect the underside of the worktop against steam rising from the machine. The coverplate is supplied as standard. Squeeze sealant from the tube supplied b into the angle of the “niro” plate. Align the “niro” plate c to the front edge of the worktop - see illustration and then use tacks supplied to nail the “niro” plate to the underside of the worktop.
Installation 2. Building the dishwasher into a niche Connection to water and drainage should be sited beside and not behind the dishwasher for accessibility. Connections are usually made in the area under the sink. Many kitchen unit manufacturers provide a cutout in the base of the sink base unit for the hoses to be fed through. If the base unit has no opening and if there is not an opening through the plinth area for connections, one must be cut. Suggested dimensions: 60 x 110 mm.
Installation The slides make installation of the dishwasher easier and protect the floor from possible damage when moving the appliance into and out of the recess. They are also used for adjusting the height of the rear screw feet. Adjust the height manually before installing the dishwasher. Leave a space of approx. 5 mm below the worktop to allow the dishwasher to be pushed back easily into the recess. Make sure that the dishwasher stands level. Push the dishwasher right back into the recess.
Installation I Adjust the rear screw feet to the required height. Higher = turn clockwise Lower = turn anti-clockwise Several turns are needed to adjust 1 mm in height. A battery powered screwdriver could be used. Adjust the front screw feet manually or with a flat blade screwdriver. It is easier to adjust the screw feet if the weight of the dishwasher is not bearing down on them. If possible tip the machine slightly.
Installation 3. Fitting the matching door front The front of the dishwasher needs to be fitted with a base unit front to match the kitchen furniture. This door front may be a single panel or a two-piece panel, divided to give a dummy drawer facia line.
Installation The weight of the door front will affect the functioning of the door springs. After fitting it is essential for this to be checked out. See Step 6. When the dishwasher is delivered the fixing bracket is secured to the dishwasher. To remove it: The door front is fixed to the machine door outer panel using a fixing bracket. This fixing bracket has to be premounted on the rear of the door front. Loosen the fixing screws (arrow) on each side of the machine door outer panel.
Installation Opening the door when the fixing bracket has been taken off: Insert your finger into the T-shaped opening of the door opener and pull the door open. Dimension “X” must be calculated and noted before attaching the fixing bracket. Dimension “X” is the distance shown on the illustration between the drill hole in the machine outer door panel and the lower edge of the neighbouring unit door(s). Fitting the fixing bracket to a door front Lay the door front with the rear side facing upwards.
Installation There are notches on the fixing bracket, marked at A in the illustration. Lay the fixing bracket on the rear of the door front, using dimension “X” for the distance from the bottom, and so that the notches marked A in the middle of the fixing bracket align with the vertical guide line, (see diagram). If necessary pre-drill holes for the screws (dia. 2.5 mm, approx. 10 mm deep). Screw the fixing bracket on securely.
Installation Fitting the door front The door front is correctly fitted when: – the lower lugs of the fixing bracket rest firmly in the lower slits of the dishwasher outer door panel. – The prongs of the fixing bracket lie on the sprung bolts in the upper corners of the dishwasher door. Hang the door front so that the lower lugs of the fixing bracket fit into the lower slits of the dishwasher outer door panel, and draw slightly upwards.
Installation Press the door front against the dishwasher outer door panel. At the same time slide the prongs of the fixing bracket over the sprung bolts and press into place. Press the door front downwards so that the prongs grip behing the sprung bolts.
Installation 4. Adjusting the door front 5. Securing the door front When fitted the door front can be adjusted up to a maximum of 2 mm upwards or downwards to match adjoining base unit fronts. Secure the door front by tightening the upper recessed fixing screws (Torx T20) at each side of the machine door outer panel. Adjust the height of the door front with the lower recessed adjusting screw (Torx T20) at each side of the machine door outer panel. higher = turn clockwise. lower = turn anti-clockwise.
Installation 6. Adjusting the door springs The door springs are correctly adjusted when a half opened door (approx. 45° opening angle) remains in this position when released. If the door lowers to the horizontal position the door springs need to be tightened. If, however, it rises up, then the springs need to be released. The adjusting screw is located in the upper front strip at the left hand side of the dishwasher. Open the dishwasher door.
Installation 7. Level and secure the dishwasher To ensure the stability of the dishwasher it must be screwed to the continuous worktop after it has been positioned. Fit the securing pieces into the slots on both the left and right hand sides. Push the dishwasher into the recess. Open the dishwasher door. The hole in the securing piece must line up with the oval hole in the niro steel plate.
Installation For “Corian” or granite worktops there is a special accessory to fix the dishwasher to an adjacent kitchen unit. Screw the countersunk screws (3.9 x 22) upwards through the securing pieces on the left and right hand sides into the work surface to secure the dishwasher. Ensure that the seal on the top edge of the dishwasher fits directly against the worktop. If this is not the case, adjust the height screws more, (see Step 2). Pull the dishwasher approx. 5 to 10 cm out of its recess.
Installation 8. Matching the plinth facia of a kitchen run The plinth area of the dishwasher is normally covered with a plinth run matching the kitchen furniture. Place the plinth facia directly in front of the kitchen run but do not attach. Carefully open the dishwasher door. If the door front comes into contact with the kitchen plinth when the dishwasher door is opened the plinth facia in the area around the dishwasher door needs to be cut to size.
Electrical connection Electrical connection Please follow the installation instructions carefully. This dishwasher is supplied ready for connection to an a.c. single phase supply, (230 - 240 V 50 Hz for the UK and Australia). It is supplied with a mains cable and moulded plug. All electrical work should be carried out by a competent person in accordance with national and local regulations. Connection should be made via a fused plug and suitable switched socket which is easily accessible.
Electrical connection Non rewireable plugs BS 1363 If this machine or appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable plug, the following information applies: If the socket outlets are not suitable for the plug supplied with this product, it must be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. The plug cut from the flexible cord should be disposed of and on no account be inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard).
Plumbing Plumbing Connection to the water inlet Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water. The dishwasher may be connected to a cold or hot water supply, max. 60 °C. When connected to a hot water supply all programme stages which would otherwise be carried out with cold water (pre-wash and interim rinse) will be carried out with hot water. The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long; a longer hose (4 m) may be bought from the Miele Spare Parts Dept.
Plumbing There must be a distance of at least 20 cm between the floor and the bottom of the “Waterproof valve” box, for either vertical or horizontal installation. Lay the hose in such a way that it does not rise above the bottom of the “Waterproof valve” box (see illustration). If the stopcock is situated in the worktop, a special angle connector can be ordered from the Miele Spare Parts Dept. (Part No. 2078910).
Plumbing Drainage The machine drainage system is fitted with a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the machine via the drain hose. The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm. The drain hose can be extended using a connection piece and an extra drain hose, (up to max. 4 metres). Venting the drainage system Open the dishwasher door fully.
