6
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the dishwasher if its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely.
They must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers of misuse.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.
Keep small children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the
risk of injury. Ensure that they do not play with the appliance. There
is a risk that children may lock themselves in the dishwasher.
If the automatic door opening mechanism is active (depending on
the model), keep young children away from the area in which the

7
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it
for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.
The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a
qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in
this Miele product must also be assured in their function and
operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous
operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
The dishwasher must only be connected to the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket using a 3-pole plug with protective
contact (it must not be hardwired). The socket must be easily
accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be
disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets concealed behind the
dishwasher because the building-in niche may be too small, creating
a risk of overheating if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against
the plug (fire hazard).
8
Warning and Safety instructions
The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The
high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the
dishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be
installed next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat,
such as heaters etc.
Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the electricity supply to
prevent damage to the dishwasher. Compare these before
connecting the appliance to the mains electricity. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening
mechanism is working correctly, as otherwise there could be a
danger when the automatic door opening is activated (depending on
the model).
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
- 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). The door must not fall open on
its own beyond this point.
- The door locking pin retracts automatically after the drying phase
when the door is opened.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not
connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply using a multi-socket
adapter or an extension cord.
The dishwasher must not be installed and operated in mobile
locations (e.g. on a ship).
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses can break or burst. 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.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical
valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.
There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the hose,
even if it is too long.
The integrated water protection 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
when they are visibly damaged.
- The tap is turned off during longer absences from the home (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.
The water connection pressure needs to be between 50 and
1,000 kPa.
A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher
gets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and contact
Miele customer service.
The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.
Defective components must be replaced with original parts. If
original Miele parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full
compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher
must be disconnected from the electricity supply (switch it off and
withdraw the plug from the socket).
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be
replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type
(available Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be
carried out by a Miele authorised technician or by Miele in order to
avoid a hazard.
In 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 warranty.
Correct installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in accordance
with the installation instructions and the supplied installation plan.
Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.
Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/cutting. Wear
protective gloves.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure
trouble-free operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous countertop which is
secured to adjacent cabinetry.
The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additional
safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance
in a tall unit, please use the "Tall unit installation kit" and observe the
installation plan provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit
tipping over.
11
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). The door must not fall open on its
own beyond this point.
The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door
springs.
If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact Miele customer
service.
The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the
factory fitted door springs is 10–12 kg (depending on model).
Correct use
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. There is a danger of
explosion.
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher
detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive
ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can
cause burning in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat, or inhibit
breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Do not inhale
powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek
medical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled. Contact a Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or the
National Poisons Centre (NZ).
Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could
injure yourself on the open door or trip over it.
Do not sit, stand, or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could
tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.
Dishes may be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow the
dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before
unloading them.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may
cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive
chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the rinse aid reservoir.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.
Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure
evaporated salts for reactivation. Other types of salt (such as
cooking salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain
insoluble components which can impair the functioning of the water
softener.
In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives
and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket
for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles
downwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle
down in the cutlery basket will come out cleaner and drier.
Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the
dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent
compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary.
The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is
not dry, and it may not be fully rinsed out.
Please observe the information listed under Technical data
regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.
Accessories and spare parts
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims will
be invalidated.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the
discontinuation of your dishwasher.
Transport
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage.
Never use a damaged dishwasher.
Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no
water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.
If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely
fasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses and mains connection
cables.
Disposal of your old dishwasher
Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot
accidentally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking
bracket of the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the
disposal of the appliance.

20
Using for the first time
Water softener
If the water hardness in your area is
available in a unit other than °dH, you
can convert the values as follows:
1 °dH = 0.18 mmol/l = 1.78°fH
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft (low limescale) water.
Hard water results in the build-up of
calcium deposits on crockery and in the
appliance.
Water with a 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 12.5 mmol/l
(70 °dH - German scale).
The dishwasher is programmed at the
factory for a water hardness level of
0.36 mmol/l (2 °dH - German scale).
If your water hardness level
corresponds to this setting, you can
skip to the next section.
However, if you have a different water
hardness level, you must adjust the
water softener to match your water
hardness.
In order to be reactivated, the water
softener requires dishwasher salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH – German
scale), dishwasher salt is not required if
combination detergents are being used
(see “Detergents - Types of
detergents”).
- The dishwasher needs to be
programmed to the correct water
hardness for your area.
- Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
- Where the water hardness fluctuates,
e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 -
15 °dH - German scale), always
programme the dishwasher to the
higher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °dH in
this example).

Using for the first time
Dishwasher salt
In order to maintain the functioning of
the water softener, it must be
reactivated regularly.
Damage to the water softener
from detergents.
Dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
In order to be reactivated, the water
softener requires dishwasher salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH – German
scale), dishwasher salt is not required if
combination detergents are being used
(see “Detergents - Types of
Damage caused by using
unsuitable salts.
Other types of salt (such as cooking
salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or
gritting salt) may contain insoluble
components which can cause the
water softener to malfunction.
Only use special coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure
evaporated salts for reactivation.
detergents”).
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l
(5 °dH - German scale) you do not
need to add dishwasher salt. The salt
refill indicator will automatically switch
off after the water hardness has been
set accordingly (see “Using for the first
time – Displaying and setting the water
hardness”).
If you only ever use combination
detergent products containing salt and
rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch off both refill reminders if you
wish (see “Programme options –
Switching off the refill reminders”).
Please make sure that if you stop
using combination detergents, you
refill the dishwasher salt and rinse
aid. Switch the refill reminders back
on if required.
23
Using for the first time
Filling the salt reservoir
Before filling the salt reservoir for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
2 litres of water to enable the salt to
dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used,
there is always sufficient water in the
salt reservoir.
Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.
Place the funnel provided on the salt
reservoir and carefully fill with
dishwasher salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds up to
2 kg of salt, depending on the type of
salt used.
Risk of corrosion due to saline
solution.
Water or saline solution will run out
of the reservoir when the cap is
opened. Saline solution that runs out
can cause corrosion in the wash
cabinet and to the dishwasher load.
The salt reservoir should therefore
only be opened to replenish the salt.
Clean off salt residues from around
the salt reservoir opening. Next,
screw the salt reservoir cap on again
firmly.
Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2 l
of water (first use only).
Immediately after filling the salt
container, run the 65 °C
QuickPowerWash programme with
the Express option and without
any load in the dishwasher to
dissolve and remove any traces of
salt from the wash cabinet.
24
Using for the first time
Replenishing salt
After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the refill reminder may still appear in the
display if the salt concentration has not
yet reached the correct level. It will go
out once the salt concentration has
reached the correct level.
When the Salt indicator lights up,
wait until the end of the programme
and then refill the salt reservoir.
Risk of corrosion due to saline
solution.
Saline solution that runs out can
cause corrosion in the wash cabinet
and to the dishwasher load.
The salt refill indicator is deactivated if
the dishwasher is set to a water
hardness below 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH -
German scale).
Each time you have opened the salt
reservoir cap, immediately run the
65 °C QuickPowerWash
programme with the Express
option and without any dishes. This
will dissolve and remove any traces
of salt from the wash cabinet.
25
Using for the first time
Rinse aid
If you only ever use combination
detergent products in your
dishwasher, you do not need to fill
the rinse aid reservoir.
However, the best rinsing and drying
results will be achieved by using a
detergent together with separate
dishwasher salt and rinse aid.
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling to and leave marks on
crockery during the drying phase, and it
helps crockery dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically.
Please make sure that if you stop
using combination detergents, you
refill the dishwasher salt and rinse
aid. Switch the refill reminders back
on if required.
Washing-up liquid or detergent
can cause damage.
Washing-up liquid and dishwasher
detergent will damage the rinse aid
reservoir.
Only fill it with rinse aid formulated
for domestic dishwashers.
Alternatively, you can use liquid citric
acid with up to 10% acid content. The
dishes will, however, be more moist and
stained than with rinse aid.
Risk of acid damage.
The dishwasher can be damaged by
acids with a higher concentration.
Never use citric acid or vinegar with
a higher acid content.
26
Using for the first time
Adding rinse aid
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring
during the next programme.
Refilling rinse aid
When the Rinse aid refill reminder
lights up in the display, the reservoir
contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3
programmes only.
Add rinse aid in good time.
The refill rinse aid reminder will go out.
If you only ever use combination
detergent products containing salt and
rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch off both refill reminders if you
wish (see “Programme options –
Switching off the refill reminders”).
Lift the yellow button on the lid of the
rinse aid container .
The lid will open.
Only add rinse aid until the fill level
indicator (see arrow) turns dark when
the door is open horizontally.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
110 ml.
Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water can enter
the rinse aid reservoir during a
programme.
27
Using for the first time
Setting the rinse aid dosage
Switch the dishwasher off with the
button, if it is switched on.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for
best results.
The rinse aid dosage can be set from 0
to 6 ml.
Press the Start button in and, whilst
holding it in, switch the dishwasher
on using the button.
Keep the Start button pressed in for
at least 4 seconds until the Start
indicator light comes on.
3 ml is the factory default setting.

Setting 3 is set.
Select required setting with the Start
button.
The setting increases each time you
press the button. When the highest
value is reached, the setting starts
again from the beginning.
The setting is now stored in memory.
Switch the dishwasher off with the
button.
28
Caring for the environment
- 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 water heaters.
If the water is heated by electricity,
we recommend connection to cold
water.
Economical dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity.
You can support the economical
operation of your appliance by following
these tips:
- Washing in a dishwasher generally
uses less water and energy than
washing dishes by hand.
- Pre-rinsing dishes under running
water is not necessary and
unnecessarily increases water and
energy consumption.
- For the most economical
dishwashing, make full use of the
basket capacity without overloading
the dishwasher. This results in the
most economical use of the
dishwasher in terms of energy and
water consumption.
- Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling (see
“Programme chart”).
- Select the ECO programme for
energy-saving dishwashing. This
programme is the most efficient in
terms of its combined energy and
water consumption for cleaning
dishes with a normal level of soiling.
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
- When using powder or liquid
detergent, you can use 1/3 less
detergent if the baskets are only half
full.
29
Loading the dishwasher
- The spray arms must not be blocked
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets. Test for free
movement by manually rotating the
spray arms.
General information
Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.
There is no need to pre-rinse items
under running water.
- Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the
baskets.
Small items such as lids should
therefore be placed in the cutlery tray
or cutlery basket (depending on
model).
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.
Some foods such as carrots,
tomatoes, or tomato sauce may
contain natural dyes. These dyes can
discolour plastic items in the
dishwasher if large quantities of these
foods are in contact with the crockery
inside the machine. The stability of
plastic items is not affected by this
discolouration.
Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the
baskets. However, please try to observe
the following notes:
- Do not place dishes and utensils
inside other items where they will
cover one another.
Washing silverware can also cause
plastic items to discolour.
- Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that
they will get properly cleaned.
- Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
- Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
and saucepans etc. must be inverted
in the baskets.
- Tall and narrow, hollow items such as
champagne glasses should be
placed in the centre of the basket
rather than in the corners. This
ensures the hollow items are more
easily accessed by the water jets.
- Wide based items should be placed
at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.
30
Loading the dishwasher
Items not suitable for washing in the
dishwasher:
Damage due to caustic alkaline
detergents.
- Wooden cutlery and crockery or
items with wooden parts. These may
discolour and fade. Furthermore, the
glue used in these items is not
dishwasher safe. Wooden handles
may come loose after being washed
in the dishwasher.
Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease
filters of rangehoods) can be
damaged by caustic alkaline
detergents. In extreme cases, there
is a risk of an explosive chemical
reaction (such as an explosive
oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Aluminium components must not be
cleaned in the dishwasher with
caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial detergents.
- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,
and decorative glassware. Such
items are not suitable for
dishwashers.
- Plastic items that are not heat
resistant. The high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to
melt or lose shape.
Useful tip: When purchasing new
crockery and cutlery, make sure they
are dishwasher safe if you want to wash
them in the dishwasher.
- Copper, brass, tin, and aluminium
items. These may discolour or
become dull.
Glass care
- Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing in the dishwasher.
When washing delicate glassware in
the dishwasher, select a special glass
care programme with a low
temperature (see “Programme chart”).
This will reduce the risk of clouding.
- Colours painted over a glaze. These
may fade after a number of washes.
- Delicate glassware and glassware
containing lead crystal. Clouding may
occur over time.
- Purchase glassware that is
dishwasher safe (e.g. Riedel
glassware).
Silverware
Silver can discolour when in contact
with foods containing sulphur. These
include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,
mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine, and
marinades.
- Use detergents with glass protective
additives.
Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may still be damp or
spotted at the end of a programme, as
water has not run off smoothly.
Useful tip: Rub the silverware dry with
a cloth.

Loading the dishwasher
Loading the FlexCare cup rack
Upper basket
You can put cups, small bowls, and flat
dishes on the FlexCare cup rack.
Glasses can be arranged along the cup
rack so they sit securely during the
programme.
See “Loading the dishwasher -
Loading examples” 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 with
the programme Tall items, if available).
Use the upper basket for small,
lightweight, and delicate items such
as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert
bowls, etc.
Shallow pans or casserole dishes can
also be placed in the upper basket.
Fold down the cup rack.
Raise the cup rack upwards to make
room for tall items.
Long items such as soup ladles and
mixing spoons should be placed lying
down across the front of the upper
basket.
32

Lowering the spikes
Lower basket
The rows of spikes at the front are used
for washing plates, soup bowls,
platters, dessert bowls and saucers.
See “Loading the dishwasher -
Loading examples” for examples of
how to load crockery and cutlery.
Both right-hand rows of spikes can be
folded down to make more room for
large items such as pots, pans, and
serving dishes and bowls.
Loading the lower basket
Place larger and heavier items such
as plates, serving platters,
saucepans, serving bowls etc., in the
lower basket.
Glasses, cups, small plates and
saucers can also be placed in the
lower basket.
Loading the MultiComfort area
The rear section of the lower basket is
used for washing cups, glasses, plates,
and saucepans.
Press the yellow lever downwards
and then lower the spikes .
Place large platters and dishes in the
centre of the lower basket.
Useful tip: When tilted, plates up to
35 cm in diameter can be

Cutlery tray/Cutlery basket
(depending on model)
See “Loading the dishwasher -
Loading examples” for examples of
how to load crockery and cutlery.
Load the utensils into the cutlery tray
or into the cutlery basket (depending
on model).
Loading the cutlery tray
To make unloading easier, cutlery
should be grouped in zones: one for
knives, one for forks, one for spoons,
etc.
If spoon handles do not fit between
the holders, lay them the other way
round.
Spoon heads should be placed to rest
on the serrated retainers on the base of
the tray to ensure that water runs off
them freely.
Arrange tall items (such as cake
servers) so that they do not block the
upper spray arm.
36
Loading the dishwasher
Loading the cutlery basket
Fit the insert onto the cutlery basket if
required.
The cutlery basket can be placed
anywhere on the front rows of spikes in
the left or right corner of the lower
basket.
To avoid the risk of injury, knives and
forks should be placed with the
handles upwards in the cutlery
basket. However, cutlery placed
handle down in the cutlery basket will
come out cleaner and drier.
Place small items of cutlery in the
individual slots on three sides of the
cutlery basket.
Loading the cutlery insert for the
cutlery basket
Place cutlery into the insert with the
handles facing downwards.
Use the insert supplied for heavily
soiled items of cutlery. As this insert
separates the items, they do not
overlap and can be more easily
accessed by the water jets.
Arrange them evenly along the insert.

Detergents
There are different types of detergents:
Types of detergents
- Powder and liquid gel detergents.
These detergents allow you to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the size of the load and the level of
soiling.
Damage due to unsuitable
detergents.
Detergents that are not suitable for
domestic dishwashers can cause
damage to the dishwasher or to the
load.
- Tablet detergents. These are suitable
for most levels of soiling.
Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers.
As well as the usual detergents,
combination products are also
available.
These contain rinse aid and water
softener (reactivation salt).
Only use these combination detergents
for the water hardness levels
recommended by the manufacturer on
the packaging.
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.
The cleaning and drying performance of
these combination detergents can vary
greatly.
- Enzymes to break down starch and
loosen protein.
- Oxygen-based bleaching agents to
remove coloured stains (e.g. tea,
coffee, tomato sauce).
For optimum cleaning and drying
results, use dishwasher detergent and
add salt and rinse aid separately.
Most dishwasher detergents are mildly
alkaline and contain enzymes and
oxygen-based bleaching agents.
48
Detergents
Detergent dispensing
The detergent compartment holds a
maximum of 50 ml.
Risk of chemical burns from
detergent.
Dishwasher detergents can cause
burning on the skin and in the eyes,
nose, mouth, and throat.
Avoid contact with detergents.
Do not inhale or ingest powder
detergents. Do not swallow
dishwasher detergent. Seek medical
attention immediately if detergent
has been swallowed or inhaled.
Keep detergents out of reach of
children. Detergent residues could
still be present in the machine. Keep
children away from the dishwasher
when the door is open. Do not fill the
detergent dispenser until just before
starting the programme and activate
the door safety lock (depending on
model).
There are marks in the detergent
compartment to aid with dispensing:
20, 30, max. When the door is opened
to a horizontal position, they show the
approximate fill level in ml and the
maximum fill height.
Follow the detergent dosage
recommended by the manufacturer
on the packaging.
Unless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml of
detergent to the detergent
compartment, depending on the
degree of soiling of the crockery.
If you use less than the recommended
amount of detergent, the dishes may
not get properly clean.
Some tabs may not dissolve completely
when the programme QuickPowerWash
is used.
49
Detergents
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.
Lift the yellow catch on the lid of the
detergent compartment .
The lid will open.
The lid will also be open at the end of
the programme.
You can also apply a small amount of
detergent to the inner panel of the
door in programmes that have a pre-
wash stage (see “Programme chart”).
Add the detergent to the detergent
compartment.
Slide the lid shut until you hear it click
into place.

of the water softener, the detergent
type, the amount of crockery and how
soiled it is.
During operation, water in the
dishwasher may be very hot.
Only open the door if absolutely
necessary and exercise extreme
caution when doing so.
When a programme is selected for the
first time, the display will show the
average programme duration for a cold
water connection.
The programme durations shown in the

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-
cleaning, provided that the correct
amount of detergent is always used.
Check the condition of your
dishwasher regularly (approx. every
4–6 months). This way, faults and
problems can be avoided.
If, despite this, limescale or grease
deposits build up in the cabinet, these
can be removed with a proprietary
dishwasher cleaner (available from
Miele or the Miele webshop, see
“Optional accessories – Appliance
care”). Follow the instructions on the
product packaging.
Damage caused by unsuitable
cleaning agents.
All surfaces of this appliance are
susceptible to scratching. Contact
with unsuitable cleaning agents can
alter or discolour all surfaces.
Only use cleaning agents formulated
for use on the relevant surfaces.
The frequent use of low-temperature
wash programmes (< 50 °C) increases
the risk of contamination and odours
inside the wash cabinet. Run the
Intensive 75 °C programme once a
month to clean the wash cabinet and
prevent odours from developing.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
67
Cleaning and care
To avoid damaging the external
surfaces, do not use the following:
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
- cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides
The door seal and the sides of the
dishwasher door are not accessed and
cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a
result, mould can develop here.
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
Wipe off any food or drink residues
which may have dripped onto the
sides of the dishwasher door before
closing it.
- solvent-based cleaning agents
- stainless steel cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaners
- oven cleaners or sprays
- glass cleaning agents
Cleaning the control panel
The control panel should only be
wiped with a damp cloth.
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes, or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
Cleaning the appliance front
Damage due to soiling.
Soiling that is left too long might
become impossible to remove and
could cause the external surfaces to
alter or discolour.
- dirt eraser sponges
- sharp metal scrapers
- steel wool or metal scourers
- steam cleaners
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Clean the front with a soft sponge
and a solution of warm water and a
little washing-up liquid. After
cleaning, wipe the front dry using a
soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfibre cloth (such
as the Original Miele all purpose
microfibre cloth) without detergent
can also be used.

*INSTALLATION*
Installation
The dishwasher may be connected to
cold or hot water (up to max. 60 °C).
If energy-saving water heating sources,
such as a solar water heating system,
are used, we recommend connecting to
the hot water. This saves both time and
electricity costs. Hot water is used in all
programmes.
The Miele Waterproof system
Provided that your dishwasher has
been installed correctly, the Miele
Waterproof system will protect you from
water damage throughout its lifetime.
Water intake
Danger to health due to wash
water.
The intake hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
Water in the dishwasher must not be
used as drinking water.
Do not drink any water from the
dishwasher.
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the water used must
correspond to the drinking water
specification of the country in which
the dishwasher is being operated.
Connect the dishwasher to a drinking
water supply.
89
*INSTALLATION*
Installation
A tap with a ¾" male thread must be
provided on site. If this type of tap is
not available, only a qualified plumber
may connect the dishwasher to the
household water supply.
Risk of damage due to excessive
pressure.
A brief increase in the water pressure
can damage components of the
dishwasher.
The dishwasher must be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
current local and national safety
regulations.
This dishwasher must only be
operated when it is connected to a
fully vented plumbing system.
The water connection pressure needs
to be between 50 and 1000 kPa. If the
water pressure is lower than this, the
/ indicator light flashes (see
“Problem solving guide - Water intake
fault”). If the water pressure is too high,
a pressure reducing valve must be
fitted.
Risk of damage from leaking
water.
The threaded union is subject to
water pressure. Water leaking from it
can cause damage.
Turn on the tap slowly and check for
leaks. Correct the position of the seal
and union if necessary.
Risk of electric shock.
There are electrical components in
the water inlet hose.
The inlet hose must not be shortened
or damaged in any way (see
illustration).

Installation
Drainage
Lay the drain hose so that it does not
kink and is not being subjected to
pressure or being tugged.
The appliance drainage system is fitted
with a non-return valve, which prevents
dirty water from flowing back into the
dishwasher via the drain hose.
Risk of damage from leaking
water.
Overflowing water can cause
damage.
After using the appliance for the first
time, make sure that the water drain
does not leak.
The dishwasher is supplied with
approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with
an internal diameter of 22 mm.
The hose can be extended using a
connection piece to attach a further
length of hose. The drainage length
must not be longer than 4 m and the
delivery head no higher than 1 m.
If the hose is to be directly connected
to the drainage outlet on site, use the
supplied hose clip (see the installation
plan).
The hose can be directed to the left or
the right of the appliance.
The on-site connector for the drain hose
can be adapted to different hose
diameters. If the connector extends too
far into the drain hose, it must be
shortened. Otherwise, the drain hose
can become clogged.
The drain hose must not be shortened.
