Warning and Safety instructions
9
This dishwasher complies with current safety requirements. Inap‐
pr
opriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to
property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the dishwasher,
please
read the installation plan and the operating instructions
carefully before it is installed and used for the first time. They con‐
tain important information on its installation, safety, use and main‐
tenance.
Keep the installation plan and the operating instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future owner.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compli‐
ance with this information.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct application
This dishwashe
r is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
The dishwasher is no
t 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.
The applianc
e can only be used by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use
it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
Safety with children
Chil
dren under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appli‐
ance unless they are constantly supervised.
Chil
dren 8 years and older may only use the dishwasher unsuper‐
vised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Chil
dren must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
unsupervised.
Please super
vise children in the vicinity of the dishwasher and do
not let them play with it. There is a danger that children playing
might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
If
the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model)
is active keep young children away from the area in which the door
opens. Danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the open‐
ing mechanism.
Dange
r of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.
Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents 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. Seek
medical attention immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Technical safety
Unauth
orised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re‐
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
A d
amaged dishwasher is dangerous. Check it for any recognisa‐
ble damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
The ele
ctrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re‐
quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installa‐
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assur‐
ed if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The dishwasher must on
ly be plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket using a suitable fused plug (it must
not be hard-wired). 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.
Ther
e must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Dan‐
ger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed
up against a plug.
The dishwasher must no
t be installed under a hob. The high radi‐
ant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could
damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be instal‐
led next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such
as heaters etc.
To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequen‐
cy) match the mains electricity supply before connecting the dish‐
washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Do not con
nect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
Do not con
nect 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 (fire hazard).
The dishwasher may on
ly be operated if the door opening mecha‐
nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
whilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model)
is active.
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
the door springs must be adjusted equally 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 door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens
at the end of the drying phase.
The applianc
e must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Do not insta
ll the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic
control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only
be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
The plastic ho
using of the water connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped in water.
There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the
water inlet hose, even if it is too long.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
The int
egrated 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
wher
e it can be seen that this is necessary.
the stopcock is turned off during longer absences from the home
(e.g. whilst on holiday).
The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched
off. However
, the appliance must remain connected to the electricity
supply.
The wat
er pressure (flow pressure at the take-off point) must be
between 30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar).
If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains imme‐
diat
ely and call your Miele Dealer or the Miele Service Department.
While the appliance
is under guarantee, repairs should only be un‐
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
Miele
can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu‐
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
During
installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply (switch it off
and withdraw the plug from the socket).
If
the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a
special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele au‐
thorised service technician only.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
Correct installation
The dishwasher must be install
ed and connected in compliance
with the installation diagram supplied.
T
ake care, both before and during installation of the dish‐
washer, not to cut yourself on the metal parts. Danger of in‐
jury. Wear protective gloves.
The dishwasher must be corr
ectly aligned to ensure problem-free
operation.
In or
der to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwash‐
ers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is se‐
cured to adjacent cabinetry.
If
you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-un‐
der ("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 spring
s must be adjusted equally 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 may only be used with correctly adjusted door
springs.
Warning and Safety instructions
16
Correct use
Do not use sol
vents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
Do not inh
ale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher deter‐
gents can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed,
or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent
has been swallowed or inhaled.
Y
ou could injure yourself on the open dishwasher door or trip over
it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
Do not sit or lea
n on the opened door. This could cause the dish‐
washer to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.
Dishes can
be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow them
to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unload‐
ing.
Only use det
ergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish‐
washers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Do not use co
mmercial or industrial detergents as these may
cause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical re‐
action (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 reservoir.
Inadver
tently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dish‐
washer detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you
have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling
the salt reservoir!
Only use special coa
rse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
17
In an app
liance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cut‐
lery 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 it
ems 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 dish‐
washer may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If
you use the "FlexiTimer/Delay start" option (depending on mod‐
el), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent.
Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dis‐
penser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.
Please observe the information given in "Technical data" regard‐
ing the capacity of the dishwasher.
Accessories
Only use genui
ne original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu‐
facturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept lia‐
bility.
Disposal of your old dishwasher
Mak
e the door lock inoperative so that children cannot acciden‐
tally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the dis‐
posal of the appliance.
Caring for the environment
18
Disposal of the packing mate‐
rial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance fr
om damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
The packaging consists of the following
mat
erials:
Outer packaging:
Corrugated cardboard made from up
t
o 100% recyclable material:
or: Polyethylene (PE) shrink wrap
Polypropylene (PP) strapping
Inner packaging:
Chlorine and fluorine free expanded
polystyr
ene (EPS)
Base, lid frame and support battens
made fr
om untreated natural wood
from renewable forests
Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of r
aw materials in the manufactur‐
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli‐
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of‐
t
en contain valuable materials. They al‐
so contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐
tentially 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 com‐
muni
ty waste collection / recycling cen‐
tre or contact your dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
chil
dren while being stored for disposal.
To enable sorting by type of plastic for
r
ecycling, all plastic parts of the appli‐
ance are labelled with international
standard symbols.
Caring for the environment
19
Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco‐
nomi
cal in its use of water and electrici‐
ty.
You can make the most of your appli‐
ance by following these tips:
For most economical dishwashing,
mak
e full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
Choose the programme to suit the
type of cr
ockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
Select the ECO pr
ogramme (depend‐
ing on model) for energy-saving dish‐
washing. This programme is the most
efficient in terms of its combined en‐
ergy and water consumption at
cleaning normally soiled crockery.
If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply select the SolarSave
programme for washing a lightly to
normally soiled load. Because the
water is not heated in this pro‐
gramme, crockery may still be slightly
damper at the end of this programme
than it would be with other pro‐
grammes.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's
r
ecommendations on detergent dos‐
age.
When using powder or liquid deter‐
gent you can use
1
/
3
less det
ergent if
baskets are only half full.
Caring for the environment
20
EcoFeedback consumption in‐
dicat
or
The Consumption function is used for
call
ing up information about the energy
and water consumption of your dish‐
washer (see "Settings menu, Consump‐
tion").
Three different types of information can
be displayed:
an estimate of the consumption be‐
for
e the programme begins
the actual consumption at the end of
the pr
ogramme
the total consumption of the dish‐
washer
1. Consumption estimate:
After a programme has been selected,
first the name of the pr
ogramme and af‐
ter a few seconds the estimated energy
and water consumption will appear in
the display.
The estimated consumption levels will
be d
isplayed as a bar chart. The more
bars (  ) in the display, the more ener‐
gy or water will be used.
The values are influenced by the pro‐
gr
amme selected and any programme
options selected.
The display will change automatically to
show the time r
emaining.
The consumption indicator is switched
on as standar
d. However, you can also
switch the indicator off (see "Settings
menu, Consumption").
2. Actual consumption
At the end of the programme you can
c
all up the actual amount of energy and
water used by the programme which
has just been run.
P
ress
OK when the Consumption (OK)
message
appears in the display.
Switching the dishwasher off at the
end of the pr
ogramme will delete the
actual consumption values for the
programme which has just been run.
3. "Consumption" setting
The Consumption setting give
s a total of
the energy and water which has been
used in all previous dishwasher pro‐
grammes (see "Settings menu, Con‐
sumption").
