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.
Correct application
~This dishwasher is not designed for
commercial use. It is intended for use in
domestic households and in similar
working and residential environments
such as:
– Shops
– Offices and showrooms
and by residents in establishments
such as
–Hostels and guest houses.
~This 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. Miele cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
~This dishwasher is not intended for
use by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless
they are supervised whilst using it, or
have been shown how to use it
correctly by a person responsible for
their safety.
Safety with children
~This appliance is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury, keep children well
away and do not allow them to play in
or around the dishwasher or to use the
controls. They will not understand the
potential dangers posed by it. They
should be supervised whenever you
are working in the kitchen. There is also
a danger that children playing might
shut themselves in the dishwasher.
~Older children may only use the
dishwasher when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
~Keep children away from
detergents. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant and corrosive
ingredients which 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.
Warning and safety instructions
9

Technical safety
~Before setting up the appliance,
check it for any externally visible
damage. Under no circumstances
should you use a damaged appliance.
It 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").
~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.
~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.
~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.
~Before connecting the appliance,
check that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage, frequency 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 if
correctly earthed. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
observed and 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).
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension
lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
Warning and safety instructions
10

~This appliance must not be used in
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
~The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. The housing must not be
submerged in water.
~There are electrical wires in the
water inlet hose. Never cut the water
inlet hose, even if it is too long.
~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. However,
the appliance must remain connected
to the electricity supply.
~A damaged appliance could be
dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, switch it off at the mains and
call your Miele Dealer or the Miele
Service Department.
~Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
appliance be guaranteed.
~Always disconnect the dishwasher
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 special
cable, available from Miele. For safety
reasons this must only be fitted by the
Miele Service Department or a Miele
authorised service technician.
~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 which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
Warning and safety instructions
11

Installation
~The dishwasher must be installed
and connected in compliance with the
diagram supplied.
~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. 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.
~The door springs must be adjusted
equally on both sides. They are
correctly adjusted when the door
remains stationary when left open at
45°. It is important that the door is held
in place by the springs and cannot fall
open.
Correct use
~Do not use solvents in the
dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
~Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher
detergent. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant or corrosive ingredients
which 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.
~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.
~Do not use commercial or industrial
detergents as these may cause
damage, and there is a risk of severe
chemical reaction.
~Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent. This will
cause serious damage to the reservoir.
Warning and safety instructions
12

~Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent will damage 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.
~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.
~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 dispersed.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele original
spare parts and accessories with this
appliance. If spare parts or accessories
from other manufacturers are used, this
will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
Disposal of your old
dishwasher
~Make the door lock inoperative so
that children cannot accidentally shut
themselves in. Make appropriate
arrangements for the disposal of the
appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
Warning and safety instructions
13

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.
The packaging consists of the following
materials:
Outer packaging:
– Corrugated cardboard made from up
to 100% recyclable material:

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 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.
To enable sorting by type of plastic for
recycling, all plastic parts of the
appliance are labelled with international
standard symbols.

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.
The water will not be heated in this
programme. However, because the
water is not heated, 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.
Caring for the environment
15
