IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
Correct use
This dishwashe
r is intended for use in domestic households and
similar residential environments.
This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.
It must only be used as specified in these operating instructions
for cleaning domestic dishware and cutlery. Any other usage is not
supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
This applianc
e is not intended for use by persons (including chil‐
dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Safety with children
Chil
dren must be kept away from the appliance unless they are
constantly supervised.
Chil
dren should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance. Keep small children away from the appliance at
all times to avoid the risk of injury. There is the risk that children may
lock 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! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
K
eep 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
Technical safety
Installatio
n, repair, and maintenance work should only be per‐
formed by a Miele-authorized service technician. Work by unquali‐
fied persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Befor
e installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of dam‐
age. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dishwash‐
er. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.
The ele
ctrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective grounding
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the elec‐
trical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electri‐
cian.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
grounding system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable
and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assur‐
ed if it has been connected to the electrical supply.
The dishwasher must on
ly be plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket using a 3-pin plug with a grounding
contact (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. There
is a danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher is pushed
up against a plug.
The dishwasher must no
t be installed under a cooktop. The high
radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktop
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
T
o avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage, and frequen‐
cy) matches the electrical supply before connecting the dishwasher
to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not con
nect the dishwasher to the electrical supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
The dishwasher may on
ly be operated if the door opening mecha‐
nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
while 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
ar
e 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 dr
ying phase.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply by a multi-
socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the re‐
quired safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This applianc
e must not be installed and operated in a non-sta‐
tionary 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
module may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
The wat
er pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must
be between 4.35 - 145 psi.
A d
amaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, turn off the electrical supply and contact Miele.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
The manu
facturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele-authorized service technician.
Defective co
mponents should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safe‐
ty of the appliance.
During
installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the electrical supply (turn it off and with‐
draw 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‐
thorized service technician only.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Proper installation
The dishwasher must be install
ed and connected in compliance
with the installation plan.
Be car
eful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protective
gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.
The dishwasher must be corr
ectly aligned horizontally to ensure
problem-free operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwash‐
ers must only be installed under a continuous counter 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 toe-kick, 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
Proper use
Do not use sol
vents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!
Do not inh
ale or ingest powder detergent. Dishwasher detergents
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 detergent has been swallowed or in‐
haled.
A
void leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip
over it and be injured by it.
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 a program. Allow them to
cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.
Only use det
ergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish‐
washers. Do not use dishwashing 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
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 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
Use only ge
nuine original Miele parts. If spare parts or accesso‐
ries from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become
invalid.
Disposal of your old dishwasher
Mak
e the door lock inoperative so that children cannot acciden‐
tally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of
the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal
of the appliance.

Caring for the environment
17
Disposal of packaging material
The cardboard box and packaging pro‐
t
ect the appliance during shipping.
These materials are biodegradable and
recyclable. Please recycle.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances may contain materials
th
at can be recycled. Please contact
your local recycling authority about the
possibility of recycling these materials.
Please be sure that your old appliance
do
es not pose a danger to children
while being stored for disposal.
Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is economical in the
use of wat
er and electricity. For best re‐
sults follow these tips:
For most economical dishwashing,
mak
e full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
Choose a program that best suits the
degr
ee of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
Select the ECO pr
ogram (depending
on model) for energy-saving dish‐
washing. This program is the most ef‐
ficient in terms of its combined ener‐
gy and water consumption at clean‐
ing normally soiled dishware.
If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot wat
er supply, select the Energy
Saver program for washing a lightly to
moderately soiled load. Because the
water is not heated in this program,
dishware may still be slightly damper
at the end of this program than it
would be with other programs.
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.
You can find additional tips on energy-
saving dishwashing in "Miele's guide
t
o dishwashing".
Before using for the first time
18
Opening the door
At the end of programs with a drying
phas
e (see "Program overview"), the
