Before using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.
Warning and safety instructions There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher because the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug. The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a hob. The high temperatures radiated by hobs could damage the dishwasher below. For the same reason, the appliance must not be installed next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters etc.
Warning and safety instructions The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship). Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point. To avoid any damage to the dishwasher, it must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
Warning and safety instructions We recommend replacing defective components with original spare parts. If original Miele spare parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid. During installation, maintenance and repair work, the dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply (switch it off and withdraw the plug from the socket).
Warning and safety instructions The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door cannot fall open. The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door springs. If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
Warning and safety instructions Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause damage to the reservoir. Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or liquid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos. Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Detergent will damage the water softener. Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen salt for reactivation.

Guide to the appliance Display functions The display is used to select or set the following: - The programme - The timer - The Settings The display can show the following: - The programme stage - The estimated time left for the programme to run - The energy and water consumption (EcoFeedback) - Any relevant fault messages and information To save energy, the dishwasher switches off after a few minutes if you do not press any buttons during this time. Press the button to switch the dishwasher back on.
Caring for the environment Disposing of the packaging material Disposing of your old appliance The packaging material is used for handling and protects the appliance from transport damage. The packaging material used is selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can generally be recycled. Electrical and electronic appliances contain many valuable materials.
Before using for the first time Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that the dishwasher has been used previously. Opening the door In some programmes the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “Settings” chapter, “AutoOpen” section). Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot.
Before using for the first time Basic settings Setting the water hardness level Switching on the dishwasher The display will change to the screen for setting the water hardness. Open the door. Switch the dishwasher on with the button. The welcome screen will appear when the dishwasher is switched on. For further information about the display functionality, see the “Display functions” section in the “Guide to the appliance” chapter.
Before using for the first time Finally, prompts will appear in the display. After confirming these prompts with OK, the messages Refill salt and Refill rinse aid may appear. Add salt and rinse aid if necessary (see “Before using for the first time – Dishwasher salt” and “Rinse aid”). Select OK to confirm the messages. The programme selected will briefly appear in the display and the indicator light for the programme selected will come on.
Before using for the first time Dishwasher salt 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 on the wash cabinet walls. Mains water with a water hardness level higher than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70 °dH – German scale).
Before using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 1 l of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the reservoir. Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened.
Before using for the first time Refilling the salt When Refill salt appears in the display, wait until the end of the programme and then refill the salt reservoir. Confirm with OK. The salt refill indicator will go out. Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the load items.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that 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 container and the amount set is dispensed automatically. Washing-up liquid or detergent can cause damage. Washing-up liquid and detergent can damage the rinse aid container. Only fill it with rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Before using for the first time Adding rinse aid Close the lid firmly until you hear it click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme. Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents excess foam developing during the next programme. You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for the best wash result (see “Settings” chapter, “Rinse aid” section). Filling the rinse aid reservoir Press the yellow button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir. The lid will spring open.
Settings You can alter the dishwasher’s controls to suit changing requirements by adjusting the settings. The settings can be altered at any time. Opening the settings menu Switch the dishwasher on with the button if it is switched off. Use the programme selection button to select the Further programmes/Settings option . The first of the further programmes will appear in the display. Use the buttons to select the Settings menu option and confirm with OK.
Settings Language Water hardness The display can be set to appear in one of several different languages. Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener. You can change the language used in the display and also the country via the Language sub-menu. - You should programme the dishwasher to the correct water hardness for your area. The flag after the word Language serves as a guide if a language that you do not understand has been set.
Settings Rinse aid Consumption (EcoFeedback) You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results. The rinse aid dosage can be set from 0 to 6 ml. 3 ml is the factory default setting. You can set whether the energy and water consumption is displayed for the selected programme. This function shows the estimated consumption before a programme, and the actual consumption after the end of the programme.
Settings Display brightness Refill reminders You can set the display brightness to one of seven different levels. If you only ever use combination detergent products or automatic dispensing using Miele PowerDisks (if available), you can switch off the refill reminders for dishwasher salt and rinse aid if you wish. Buzzer A buzzer sequence will sound at the end of a programme or if there is a fault as long as the buzzers are activated.
Settings Extra clean Software version You can choose this function to increase the cleaning performance of the programmes. You can call up the electronic software version of your dishwasher for technical support purposes. If you activate this function, the programme durations and the main wash temperatures will increase. The water and energy consumption may increase. Showroom If this function is switched on, it will be applied to all programmes until it is switched off again.
Caring for the environment Economical dishwashing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips: - Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing by hand. - You can connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply. A hot water connection is particularly suitable with energy-saving water heating sources, such as solar energy with a circulation system.
Caring for the environment EcoFeedback consumption indicator The Consumption function is used for calling up information about the energy and water consumption of your dishwasher (see “Settings” chapter, “Consumption” section). The following information can be shown on the display: - An estimate of the consumption before the programme begins - The actual consumption at the end of the programme - The total consumption of the dishwasher 1.
Loading the dishwasher General information Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to pre-wash items under running water. Damage can be caused by ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint. These substances will contaminate the dishwasher and can then no longer be removed. Do not wash items soiled with these substances in the dishwasher.
Loading the dishwasher Items not suitable for dishwashers: Damage due to caustic alkaline - Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher. detergents. Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease filters of cooker hoods) can be damaged by caustic alkaline detergents.
Loading the dishwasher Upper basket See the “Loading the dishwasher” chapter, “Loading examples” section for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. Loading the upper basket Damage due to leaking water. If you run the dishwasher without the upper basket, water can leak out of the dishwasher. Only run the dishwasher with the upper basket in place (except during the programme Tall items, if available).
Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the FlexCare cup rack You can set the height and depth of the cup rack at 2 different levels so that it can accommodate larger cups and so that taller crockery can be placed underneath it. Pull the cup rack upwards and click it into the desired position (see arrow).
Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket To raise the upper basket: In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the lower basket or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on 3 levels with 2 cm between each level. Lift the basket up until it clicks into place. The upper basket can also be set at an angle so that water can run off freely from recesses. Make sure, however, that the basket can slide smoothly in and out of the wash cabinet. Pull out the upper basket.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket See the “Loading the dishwasher” chapter, “Loading examples” section for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. Loading the lower basket Place larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls etc., in the lower basket. Glasses, cups and small plates and saucers can also be placed in the lower basket. Loading the FlexCare glass holder The silicone elements in the glass holder provide a stable and secure hold for delicate stemware.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery tray See “Loading the dishwasher – Loading examples” for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. Arrange the cutlery in the cutlery tray as shown. Loading the cutlery tray To make unloading easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.

Detergent Active ingredients Damage caused by using unsuitable detergents. Detergents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the load. Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are: - Water softening complexing agents to prevent calcification. - Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on soiling. - Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein.
Detergent Risk of chemical burns from de- Detergent dispensing tergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep children away from detergents. Detergent residues could still be present in the dishwasher. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
Detergent Adding detergent The detergent must not cause the detergent compartment lid to get stuck. This can prevent the lid from opening during the programme sequence. Do not overfill the detergent compartment. Ensure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use. This prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together. Press the yellow button on the lid of the detergent compartment. The lid will spring open. The lid will also open at the end of a programme sequence.
Operation Switching on the dishwasher Selecting a programme Open the stopcock, if it is closed. Choose your programme according to the type of crockery and the degree of soiling. Open the door. Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. Press the button. The programme selected will briefly appear in the display and the indicator light for the programme selected will come on. Next, the estimated energy and water consumption may be shown for the chosen programme for several seconds.
Operation Display of programme duration Starting the programme The estimated duration of the selected programme appears on the display before the programme begins. If the door is opened during the programme, the time left until the end of the programme is displayed. Start the programme by closing the door. If necessary, confirm the previously displayed message with OK.
Operation End of programme Energy management At the end of a programme, the optical in-operation indicator light will flash slowly with the door shut. The buzzer might also sound. To save energy, the dishwasher will switch off automatically 10 minutes after the last time a button is pressed or after the end of a programme. The optical in-operation indicator light will go out 10 minutes after the end of the programme if the door is closed. You can switch the dishwasher back on again with the button.
Operation Switching off the dishwasher Unloading the crockery Open the door. Confirm the query Switch off with OK. Crockery tends to break and chip more easily when it is hot. Allow the crockery to cool until it is comfortable enough to handle before unloading the dishwasher. Switching the dishwasher off during a programme stops the programme. If you open the door fully after switching off, the crockery will cool much faster. You can also do this to stop an ongoing timer.
Operation Interrupting a programme A programme will be interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened. Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. During operation, only open the door with extreme caution. Cancelling or changing a programme If a programme is cancelled, important programme stages may be missed.
Options Timer Activating the timer You can set the start time of a programme. The programme start time can be delayed for between 30 minutes and 24 hours. With start time delays between 30 minutes and 3 hours, the delay can be set in 30 minute stages. It is set in hours for periods longer than this. Open the door. With manual detergent dispensing, the detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry and this may mean it is not fully rinsed out.
Options After you have activated the timer, all the displays will switch off after a few minutes to save energy. Changing or deleting the timer time Press the button to switch the display back on again for a few minutes. Open the door. Open the door if you need to check how long the timer has left to run. The time up until the programme starts will show counting down in the display in hours for durations above 10 hours, and in minutes for durations below this.

Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter combination. Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage.
Cleaning and care Checking the filters in the wash cabinet Cleaning the filters The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soiling from the suds solution. This prevents soiling getting into the circulation system and re-entering the wash cabinet through the spray arms. Remove the lower spray arm (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the spray arms” section). Damage due to soiling entering Switch the dishwasher off.
Cleaning and care In order to clean the inside of the filter, pull the microfilter on the plastic ring downwards and away from the filter combination. Rinse all the parts under running water. If necessary, use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling. Insert the microfilter back into the filter combination. Refit the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Refit the lower spray arm to the filter combination using the screw connection.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the water inlet filter A filter is incorporated in the screw thread to protect the water inlet valve. If the filter is soiled, insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet. Risk of electric shock from mains voltage. The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical valve. The housing must not be dipped in water. Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains. To do this, turn off the dishwasher, switch off at the socket and remove the plug. Close the stopcock.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the drain pump If water remains in the wash cabinet after the end of a programme, the water has not been pumped away. The drain pump may be blocked by foreign objects. These are easy to remove. Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains. To do this, turn off the dishwasher, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the filters”).
Cleaning and care Damage due to incorrect cleaning. The components are delicate and can be damaged during cleaning. Take care when cleaning the drain pump. The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover. Risk of injury from glass splinters. It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump. Take care when cleaning the drain pump. Carefully remove all foreign objects from the drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it.

*INSTALLATION* Installation Electrical connection The dishwasher is “connector-ready” as standard for connection to an earthed socket. The socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher has been installed. If that is not possible, ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided on the installation side for each pole. Risk of fire from overheating. Connecting the dishwasher to a multi-socket adapter or to an extension lead can overload the mains connection cable.
