Correct use
8
This dishwasher complies with 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 dishwasher, please read these
instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important
information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. Keep these
instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
 This dishwasher with its short programme running times and
powerful cleaning performance is intended for commercial use in
office kitchens, clubhouses, small businesses, active kitchens and
other similar commercial environments.
It is also suitable for use in domestic households and in similar
residential environments for example by customers in hotels, motels,
bed and breakfast and other related establishments.
 This dishwasher is not intended for continuous use.
 This dishwasher is not suitable for the reprocessing of medical
products or devices.
 This machine is designed exclusively for use as a "dishwasher" for
cleaning crockery, glassware and cutlery as described in these
instructions. Any other use, conversions and modification are not
permitted and could be dangerous.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
 This dishwasher is intended for stationary, indoor use only.
 The special inserts should only be used for their specific
application.
 This dishwasher can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the
consequences of incorrect operation.

Correct use
9
 The dishwasher is equipped with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by
a Miele authorised person or by Miele Service.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct installation
 Do not install this dishwasher in an area where there is a risk of
explosion or freezing conditions.
 To ensure stability a built-under dishwasher must only be installed
beneath a continuous worktop that is bolted to the adjacent
cabinetry.
 In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the
furniture in the area around the dishwasher should be designed for
commercial use.
Technical safety
 This dishwasher must only be installed, commissioned, repaired
and maintained by Miele Professional Service or a suitably qualified
service technician. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
 This dishwasher must only be operated by appropriately trained
personnel. They must be instructed and trained regularly.
 Before using the dishwasher, check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not use a damaged dishwasher. This could be
dangerous.
 In the event of a damaged or leaking dishwasher, switch off at the
mains immediately and call Miele Professional Service or a suitably
qualified service technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele
guarantee the correct functioning and safety of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held
liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
 Please follow the advice on installation in these instructions and
the separate Installation diagram.
 Before connecting the appliance, ensure that the connection data
on the data plate (voltage, frequency and fuse rating) match the
mains electrical supply.
 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. See "Electrical connection".
 Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply via
a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
 Warning. Do not open the casing of the dishwasher. Any contact
with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical
components of the dishwasher will endanger your safety and may
lead to machine malfunctions.
 The dishwasher must not be used if the electrical connection
cable is damaged. A damaged connection cable may only be
replaced with a specific connection cable of the same type (available
from Miele Service). For safety reasons, such replacement may only
be carried out by a qualified technician or the Miele Service.
 The dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
 The plastic housing of the water connection contains electrical
components. It must not be dipped in water.
 There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not shorten
the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water
damage, provided the following conditions are met:
– installation has been carried out correctly,
– the dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced
where it can be seen that this is necessary,
– the stopcock has been turned off during longer periods of
inactivity (e.g. whilst on holiday).
The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is
switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to
the electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Correct use
 This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and cleaning
agents suitable for use in commercial dishwashers only. Organic
solvents and flammable liquid agents must not be used in it.
This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic
components in the dishwasher and cause liquids to leak out of it.
 Only use cleaning agents formulated for use in commercial
dishwashers. Unsuitable cleaning agents could adversely affect
components of the dishwasher or the items being cleaned.
 Do not sit, stand or lean on the opened door. This would tip or
damage the dishwasher.
 After any plumbing work the water pipework to the dishwasher will
need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be damaged.
 Please be aware that the dishwasher may be operating at high
temperatures. When the door is opened there is a danger of burning
or scalding. Crockery, cutlery, baskets and inserts must be allowed
to cool down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining in
containers could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash cabinet
before taking them out.
 The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water.
 Pre-treating items (for example with washing-up liquid and other
cleaning agents) as well as some types of soiling and some cleaning
agents can cause a build-up of foam in the wash cabinet. Foam can
have an adverse effect on the cleaning result.
 Foam escaping from the wash cabinet can cause damage to the
dishwasher. If foam escapes the programme must be cancelled
immediately and the machine must be disconnected from the mains
electrical supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 When using cleaning agents and specialised products, it is
essential that the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Cleaning
agents must only be used for the purpose they are designed for and
in the situation specified, to avoid such dangers as serious chemical
reactions and material damage (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).
 Do not inhale or ingest powder cleaning agent. Dishwasher
cleaning agents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can
cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if cleaning agent has
been swallowed or inhaled.
 Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical cleaning
agents may have on the material of the items being cleaned.
Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions with regard
to storage conditions, use and dosage.
 To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids
or solutions containing chlorides or metals which are not rust-proof
to get into the wash cabinet.
 Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease
or paint in the dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the
dishwasher.
 Do not clean the dishwasher or near vicinity with a hose or a
pressure washer.
 Ensure that the stainless steel outer casing of the appliance does
not come into contact with solutions or steam containing acid to
avoid any corrosion damage.
 Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and
positioning them in the dishwasher that you do not hurt yourself or
create a danger for others. Sharp knives, forks, etc. should be
placed in baskets with the pointed ends facing downwards.
 Remove any coarse food deposits and empty out any containers
or utensils before loading them in the dishwasher.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
Safety with children
 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.
Never allow children to play with the machine. There is a danger that
children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
 Children under eight years of age must be kept away from the
dishwasher unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged eight and older may only use the dishwasher
without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe
manner. Children must be able to recognise and understand the
potential risks of improper use.
 Keep children away from chemical agents. These contain irritant
and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth, or
inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the
door is open. There could still be residual chemical agent in the
wash cabinet. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has
swallowed or inhaled chemical agent.
Accessories
 Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by
Miele. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and product
liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment
16
Disposal of the packing
material
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.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. 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 for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
country) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.

Caring for the environment
17
Energy-saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity. You can make the most of
your machine by following these tips:
You may connect the dishwasher to a
hot water supply. This is particularly
suitable with energy-saving water
heating sources such as solar energy
systems. If the hot water system is
electrically heated and if loads
consist primarily of glassware we
recommend connecting the machine
to the cold water supply.
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 for
energy-saving dishwashing. This
programme is the most efficient in
terms of its combined energy and
water consumption at cleaning
normally soiled crockery.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
When using powder detergent you
can use 1/3 less detergent if baskets
are only half full.

Commissioning
18
Opening the door
At the end of programmes with a drying
phase (see "Programme chart"), the
door will open automatically a little in
order to help the drying process.
This function can be deactivated, if
preferred (see "Settings, AutoOpen").
Pull the handle to open the door.
If the door is opened during operation
all functions are automatically
interrupted.
Keep the area around the door
free of obstructions.
Closing the door
Push the baskets right in.
Then raise the door up, and push
until it clicks into position.
