Warning and Safety instructions
10

The following points should be
observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards, to protect users,
and to avoid damage to the machine
and items being cleaned.
Only use cleaning agents
designed for use in this type of
machine. The use of unsuitable
cleaning agents could adversely affect
the components of the machine, as well
as items being cleaned.
Only use low-foaming cleaning
agents. Incorrect cleaning agents,
as well as some types of soiling can
cause a build-up of foam in the
machine. Foam can have an adverse
effect on the cleaning process.
Please be aware that changes in
formulation, storage conditions etc,
which may not be publicised by the
chemical producer, can have a
negative effect on the cleaning result.
When using cleaning agents and
special application chemicals, it is
essential that the manufacturer's
instructions are followed. Only use such
chemicals for the purpose and in the
situation specifed, to the exclusion of
other chemicals, to avoid such dangers
as chemical reactions and material
damage.
The machine is designed for
operation with water and additive
cleaning agents only. Organic solvents
must not be used in this machine, as
there is the danger under certain
circumstances of fire or explosion.
(Although this is not the case with all
organic solvents, other problems could
arise with their use, for example
damage to rubber and synthetic
materials).
The special inserts should only be
used for their specific application.
Empty any containers or utensils
before arranging them in the
machine.
Do not allow any remains of acids
or solvents, and in particular
hydrochloric acid or chloride solutions,
to get into the wash cabinet. Similarly
avoid any materials with a corrosive
effect.
The presence in compounds of any
solvents should be minimal (especially
those in hazard class A1).
To avoid any corrosion damage,
ensure that solutions or steam
containing hydrochloric acid do not
come into contact with the steel outer
casing of the machine.
Please follow the advice on
installation in these instructions
and the separate Installation diagram.

children cannot accidentally shut
themselves in. Then make appropriate
arrangements for the safe disposal of
the machine.
For tank system machines ensure that
any water is emptied out of the tank.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

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 offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines
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 machine.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
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.
Please ensure that the machine
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.
Caring for the environment
13

Before using the machine for the first
time, the following steps must be
carrried out.
Each step is described in more
detail in the appropriate section
further on in the booklet.
Prepare the water softener unit
(Optional).
The water softener unit must be set for
the water hardness level in your area.
The salt reservoir also has to be filled,
first with water and then with
reactivation salt.
,Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with cleaning agent always
leads to serious damage to the wa-
ter softener. Make sure you have
picked up the correct packet of
reactivation salt before filling the salt
reservoir!
Load the machine carefully
Arrange the load so that water will
come into contact with all surfaces.
Concealed surfaces will not be
cleaned.
The spray arms must not be blocked by
any items.
Only use cleaning agents formulated
for use in this type of machine.
Do not use cleaning agents designed
for domestic dishwashers.
Add cleaning agent
Follow the cleaning agent
manufacturer's recommendations on
dosage.
The amount required will depend on the
type of cleaning agent used and the
programme selected.
Read the notes on dosage given in
the programme chart.
Cleaning results may vary from brand
to brand. If you are not satisfied with
the results from one brand, try another
quality brand before contacting Miele
for advice.
The filter combination in the floor of
the wash cabinet and also the spray
arms must be kept clean.
It is therefore absolutely essential to
check and clean them regularly.
Before using for the first time
14

To open the door
^Grasp the handle and open the door.
The door should only be opened during
operation for emergencies, e.g. if
articles are knocking together or if a
programme fault is indicated in the
display (see "Cancelling a
programme").
,Do not touch the inside of the
cabinet or the heated surfaces
during or directly after the end of a
programme. You could burn
yourself. They remain hot for some
time after the end of the programme.
To close the door
^Lift the door upwards and push until
it clicks shut.
Opening and closing the door
15

Only applies to machines with a
built-in water softener.
To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs to operate with soft
water. Hard water results in a build-up
of calcium deposits on crockery and in
the dishwasher.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water:
1. the water softener unit must always
be programmed correctly, and
2. the salt reservoir must be filled.
If the water hardness level is below
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale), the
reservoir does not need to be filled
with reactivation salt.
The water softener unit is set at the
factory for a water hardness level of
3.4 mmol/l (19 °d).
If the water supply is harder or softer
than this (including below 0.7 mmol/l
or 4 °d), the factory setting will need
to be changed following the
instructions in "Setting the water
softener". See chart on the next
page for settings.
Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness in your area.
Where the water hardness level
fluctuates, e.g. 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l
(8 - 17°d), set the water softener to the
highest setting (3.1 mmol/l (17 °d) in
this example).
Important
The built-in water softener has settings
from 0.2 - 6.5 mmol/l (1 °d - 35 °d ).
Where the water hardness level is
above 5.4 mmol/l (30 °d) an external
water softener unit, e.g. the G 7897
Aqua-soft system will need to be fitted.
In the case of a fault, it will help the
service technician if you know the
hardness of your local water supply.

Filling the salt reservoir
Only use special coarse grained
reactivation salt with granules of
approx. 1-4 mm. 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. If
in doubt consult the Miele Professional
Department.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of
salt.
,Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with cleaning agent always
leads to serious damage to the wa-
ter softener. Make sure you have
picked up the correct packet of
reactivation salt before filling the salt
reservoir!
^Remove the bottom basket from the
machine.
^Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir with
salt for the first time fill it with approx.
2 litres of water.
,If there is still water in the tank,
e.g. if you are refilling the salt
reservoir, you will need to run the
"Drain" programme beforehand.
^Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
reactivation salt until it is full.
As it is filled, displaced water will run out.
^Remove the funnel and wipe any
residual salt off the screw threads on
the socket.
^Screw the cap back on firmly.
^Close the machine door and press
one of the programme buttons.
The rinsing process will begin which
will dilute and rinse out any residual
salt. The time until the end of the rinsing
process will appear in the display.
After the rinsing process has begun,
there may be a pause for a few
minutes while the water softener is
regenerated.
If the boiler and tank are full and the
operating temperature has been
reached, the rinsing time of the
programme selected will be shown in
minutes. The machine is now ready for
operation.

water does not cling and leave marks
on items during the drying phase and
to help items dry faster after they have
been washed.
Rinsing agent is poured into the
storage reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically in the final
rinse.
