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.
Correct usage
This dishwasher is intended
exclusively for cleaning domestic
crockery and cutlery in a domestic
household. Using it for purposes other
than those for which it was designed,
as well as any alterations or
conversions to the appliance would be
unauthorised and could cause harm.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from improper or
incorrect use of the appliance.
Transport
Should you ever need to move the
dishwasher, e.g. when moving
house, note the following:
–Empty the dishwasher,
–Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses,
mains cable, cutlery baskets, lower
basket
–Transport the dishwasher in the
upright position only.
Delivery
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.
Please ensure that the packaging
material is offered for recycling.
Installation
The dishwasher must be installed
and connected in compliance with
the installation plan.
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").
There must be no electrical
sockets behind the dishwasher.
Danger of overheating and fire risk if
the dishwasher were to be pushed up
against a plug.
In order to ensure stability,
built-under and integrated
dishwashers must only be installed
under a continuous worktop which is
secured to adjacent cabinetry.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

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. If
you remove the existing plinth, you
must replace it with a U-model plinth.
This is necessary to avoid the risk of
injury caused by protruding metal
parts.
Do not connect the dishwasher to
the mains supply until it has been
fully installed.
Before connecting the appliance,
check that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is regularly
tested and where there is any doubt,
the electrical system in the house
should be checked by a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
A damaged appliance could be
dangerous. Switch off at the mains
and call your Miele supplier or the Miele
Service Department.
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. The housing must therefore
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).
Use
Do not use solvents in the
dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher
detergent! Dishwasher detergents
can cause burning in the nose, mouth
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Consult a doctor immediate-
ly if detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

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. However, to
avoid the risk of injury place knives and
forks etc. with the handles upwards.
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.
Plastic items which cannot
withstand being washed in hot
water, such as disposable plastic
containers, or plastic cutlery and
crockery should not be cleaned in the
dishwasher. The high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to melt
or lose shape.
On models with "Delay start", make
sure that the dispenser is dry
before adding detergent. Wipe dry if
necessary. Detergent will clog if poured
into a damp dispenser and may not be
thoroughly dispensed.
Do not use liquid detergent when
selecting Delay start, as it can run into
the dishwasher before it is required.
Safety with children
This appliance is not a toy! To
avoid the risk of injury do not allow
children to play in or around the
dishwasher, or to operate it. There is
also a danger that children playing
might shut themselves in the
dishwasher.
Keep children away from
detergents. Dishwasher detergents
can cause burning in the mouth, nose
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Keep children away from the
dishwasher when the door is open.
There could still be detergent residues
in the cabinet.
Consult a doctor immediately if your
child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.

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.
Make sure you have picked up the
correct packet of dishwasher salt
before filling the salt reservoir!
Do not use commercial or industrial
detergents as these may damage
material and there is a risk of severe
chemical reaction.
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 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. However,
the appliance must remain connected
to the electricity supply.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.
Repairs and maintenance
Repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent
technicians in accordance with current
local and national safety requirements.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
Always disconnect the appliance
from the electrical supply for
maintenance work (switch off at the wall
socket and remove the plug).
If the connection cable is damaged
it must be replaced with a Miele
cable by a Miele approved service
technician only.
Disposal of your old appliance
When disposing of an old
dishwasher first make it unusable.
Disconnect, cut off the cable and the
plug from the cable. Make the door lock
inoperative by unscrewing the Torx
screw, so that children cannot
accidentally shut themselves in. Make
appropriate arrangements for the
disposal of the appliance.

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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of your
old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person. The
plug must be rendered useless and the
cable cut off directly behind it to
prevent misuse. See the "Warning and
Safety" section of this booklet for further
details.
Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity. You can make the most of
your appliance 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 Energy save programme
for energy-saving dishwashing.
^If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be
connected to a hot water supply.
Select "Without heater" when washing
lightly to normally soiled dishes.
However, because the water is not
heated in this programme, drying
results may not match those of other
programmes.
^Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
^When using powder or liquid
detergent you can use 1/3less
detergent if baskets are only half full.

Before using for the first time
14

Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
–approx. 1 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 used
previously.
This dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener sensor which automatically
sets the water softener unit for the
local water hardness level.
External water softening
system
If your dishwasher is connected to an
external water softening system which
uses salt to reactivate, you will still need
to programme the dishwasher to the
correct water hardness level to achieve
good cleaning results.
^Set the water softener unit of the
dishwasher to the water hardness
level of the water which is supplied
from the external water softening
system.
If you do not know what this is, then
set the value at 1.4 mmol/l (8 °d) (see
"Settings menu J, External water
softening system").
Filling the salt reservoir
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
softener unit.
The softener unit is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l
(70 °d). It requires dishwasher salt.
If you use "3 in 1" tabs in your
dishwasher you should still add salt
in order to achieve optimum results.
The amount of salt used is reduced
to between 1/4and 1/3of the normal
amount if the "3 in 1" Detergent type
is selected.
Before using for the first time
15

You can check the water hardness level
measured by the water softener sensor
in the display (see "Settings menu J,
Water hardness").
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need
to add dishwasher salt. The
"Insufficient salt" indicator light will
come on the first time you switch the
dishwasher on. It will go out
automatically once the sensor has
detected that the water is softer than
0.7 mmol/l.
,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!
This will cause serious damage to
the reservoir.
,Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do
not use other salts such as cooking
salt, agricultural grade or gritting
salt. These may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
^When filling the salt reservoir only
open the door half-way to ensure
that all the salt gets into the reservoir.
^Press the button on the lid of the salt
reservoir in the direction of the arrow
until the flap springs open.
^Lift up the funnel.
Before using for the first time
16

Do not fill the salt reservoir with
water.
^Add salt only until the reservoir is full
or until water runs out of the opening.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 1 kg
of salt depending on the brand used.
Do not add any more than 1 kg of
salt.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced
water may overflow.
^Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then close
the flap.
^Run the Quick wash programme
immediately (without any crockery in
the dishwasher) to remove any traces
of salt water from the cabinet.
"Insufficient salt" message
^Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt for reactivation when the
kReplenish salt message appears.
(If it appears during a programme,
wait until the end of the programme).
^Confirm by pressing the OK button.
The "Insufficient salt" message will go
out.
After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the "Replenish salt" message may still
appear in the display if the salt
concentration has not yet reached the
correct level.
If this is the case, press the OK button
again.
,After filling the salt reservoir, run
the Quick wash programme immedi-
ately (without any crockery in the
dishwasher) to remove any traces of
salt water from the cabinet.

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. Only pour
rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers into the reservoir.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
– Household vinegar with a max. 5%
acid content
or
– Liquid citric acid up to 50% acid
content.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
will not, however, be as good as when
rinse aid is used.
,Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence
25% acid). This would damage the
dishwasher.
If you only ever use "2 in 1" or "3 in 1"
products in your dishwasher you do
not need to add rinse aid.
Adding rinse aid
^Press the button on the lid of the
rinse aid reservoir in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
Before using for the first time
18

^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. 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.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for best results (see "Settings
menu J, Rinse aid").
Replenish rinse aid message
When the HReplenish rinse aid
message appears, the reservoir
contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3
programmes only.
^Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
If the "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" Tab function
has been selected, the "Replenish
rinse aid" message will not appear
(see "Settings menu J, Detergent
type").
^Confirm by pressing the OK button.
The "Replenish rinse aid" message will
go out.
Before using for the first time
19

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.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in
the baskets, but the following notes
should be observed:
– Do not place crockery and cutlery
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
– Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures
that it is properly cleaned.
–Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
–Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the
basket.
–Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the centre of the basket to
ensure better water coverage.
–Deep based items should be placed
at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.
–The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets.
If in doubt, test for free movement by
manually rotating the spray arms.
–Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the
baskets. Small items, e.g. lids,
should therefore be placed in the
cutlery tray or cutlery basket
(depending on model).
Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup. Plastic items in the
dishwasher may discolour if large
quantities of these foodstuffs find
their way into the appliance on the
crockery. The stability of plastic
items is not affected by this
discolouration.
