This dishwasher is ex ceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity .
Y ou can make the most of y our
appliance by following these tips:
^ If y our household water sy stem is
suitable, this dishwasher can be
connected to a hot water supply for
further economies. If the water is
heated by for ex ample, solar panels,
this would be energy efficient.
H owever, if y our water is heated by
electricity we would recommend
connection to cold water.
^ F or most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
^ C hoose the programme to suit the
ty pe of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
^ S elect the Normal programme for
energy -saving dishwashing.
^ F ollow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
^ W hen using powder or liq uid
detergent y ou can use 1/3 less
detergent if baskets are only half full.

In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. H ard water
results in the build-up of calcium
deposits on crockery and in the
dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
h ig h er th an 0 .7 m m o l/l (4 ° d –
G er m an sc ale) needs to be softened.
This takes place automatically in the
integrated water softener.

If this setting corresponds to the
hardness of y our water y ou do not need
to do any thing more.
If y our water is harder or softer, y ou will
need to programme the water hardness
level. S ee following section.
– The water softener req uires
dishwasher salt.
If y ou use combination products
which have salt in them, such as
"3 in 1" or "4 in 1" products in y our
dishwasher, y ou should still add salt
in order to achieve optimum results.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed for the water hardness
in y our area.
– Y our local water authority will be able
to advise y ou of the water hardness
level in y our area.
W here the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 ° d
G erman scale) alway s programme the
dishwasher to the higher value
(3.1 mmol/l in this ex ample).
In the event of a fault, it will help the

O p er atio n
D eter g ent
,O nly use detergents formulated
for domestic dishwashers. D o not
use washing-up liq uid.
A c tiv e ing r ed ients
Modern detergents contain various
active ingredients, the most important
of which are:
– P hosphates to prevent calcification.
– A lkalis to aid removal of dried on
soiling.
– E nz y mes to break down starch and
loosen protein.
– O x y gen based bleaching agents to
remove coloured stains (e.g. tea,
coffee, tomato sauce).
Most dishwasher detergents contain
phosphates and are mildly alkaline with
enz y mes and ox y gen based bleaching
agents. P hosphate free products are
rare.
Ty pes of detergent:
– P owder and liq uid gel detergents.
These detergents allow y ou to adjust
the amount dispensed according to
the siz e of load and level of soiling.
– Tab detergents. These are suitable
for most levels of soiling.
Miele branded dishwasher powder
and tabs are available from the Miele
S pare P arts D epartment or via the
Internet, depending on country .
32
A variety of combination products is also
available (see section "A dditional
functions, C ombi-tab", depending on
model).
In addition to detergent, combi tabs
contain rinse aid and salt substitutes.
C ombi tabs are available as "3 in 1" or,
when they also contain other components
such as glass and stainless steel
protective additives and enhanced
cleaning power, as "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc.
R efer to the manufacturer's packaging as
to whether the combi tabs are suitable for
the water hardness level in y our area.
P lease note that the cleaning and dry ing
results of tab detergents can vary greatly .
F or optimum cleaning and dry ing
results use Miele dishwasher
detergent and add Miele salt and
Miele rinse aid separately .
U nder certain circumstances
unsatisfactory washing and dry ing
results might be noticed when using
combination dishwasher detergents.
These products contain a combination
of detergent and rinse aid or detergent
and salt (2 in 1) or detergent, rinse aid
and salt (3 in 1). D ry ing results might
not be as good as ex pected or
residues or flecks might be left on
crockery . If results are still
unsatisfactory , even after seeking
advice from the detergent
manufacturer, we suggest that y ou
change to a different product or use a
traditional dishwasher detergent.
O p er atio n
D isp ensing
^ F ollow the dosage recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
^ U nless directed otherwise, use one
detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml
detergent in compartment II,
depending on the level of soiling.
W ith very heavy soiling y ou can also
add a small amount of detergent to
compartment l (see "P rogramme
chart").
^ D o not use tabs with the "Q uick"
programme, as they will not dissolve
properly .
F ailure to dispense the
recommended amount of detergent
may impair cleaning results.
,A void inhalation of powder
detergents and do not ingest
dishwasher detergent. D ishwasher
detergents contain irritant or corrosive
ingredients which can cause burning
in the nose, mouth and throat if
swallowed, or inhibit breathing.
C onsult a doctor immediately if
detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled.
K eep detergent and other household
agents out of the reach of children at
all times. K eep children away from the
dishwasher when the door is open.
There could still be detergent residues
in the cabinet. To avoid the danger of
children coming into contact with the
dishwasher detergent, only add
detergent just before starting the
programme and close the door,
activating the child safety lock (if y our
dishwasher is fitted with one).

The duration of the programme
selected appears in hours and minutes
in the display before the programme
begins. D uring the programme, the
time left until the end of the programme
is display ed.
A t the end of a programme, the
In-operation indicator light will be
visible flashing slowly with the door
shut.
The time display ed may vary with the
same programme. This is partly
because of the water temperature at
each intake, the reactivation cy cle and
partly because of the amount of
crockery and how dirty it is.
W hen a programme is selected for the
first time, the display shows an average
time for a cold water intake.
The times shown in the programme
chart refer to standard test loads and
temperatures.
E ach time a programme is run, the
electronic unit takes the new conditions
into account, and calculates the time
req uired.
To save energy the display goes out
after a few minutes, if y ou do not
touch any sensors during this time.
Touching any sensor will switch the
display back on again (ex cept for the

,To prevent the risk of steam
damage to the worktop edging

C leaning th e w ater inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw
connection of the valve on the water
inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned
when dirty , otherwise insufficient water
flows into the wash cabinet.
,The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped in
water.
R ec o m m end atio n
If the mains water contains a large
amount of insoluble substances, we
recommend fitting a large-area filter in
the connection between the tap and the
water inlet hose threaded union. This
filter is available from the Miele S pares
P arts D epartment.
C leaning th e filter :
^ D isconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply . S witch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.
^ C lose the tap.
^ U nscrew the inlet hose.
58
^ C arefully remove the seal.
^ W ithdraw the filter using pointed
pliers and rinse clean under running
water.
^ R eplace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly .
^ R econnect the inlet hose to the tap,
making sure it goes on correctly and
is not cross-threaded.
^ Turn on the tap gradually to test for
leaks. If there is a leak, the inlet hose
might not be on securely , or it may
have been screwed on at an angle.
U nscrew and reconnect the water
inlet valve correctly .
M aintenanc e
C leaning th e d r ain p u m p and
no n-r etu r n v alv e
If the water has not been pumped away
at the end of a programme the drain
pump or the non-return valve might be
blocked. They are, however, easy to
clean.
^ D isconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply . S witch off at the mains
socket and withdraw the plug.
^ Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet (see "C leaning and
care - C leaning the filters in the wash
cabinet").
^ S coop the water out of the cabinet
using a suitable container or utensil.
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
^ R emove all foreign objects from the
drain pump (watch out for glass or
bone splinters which are particularly
difficult to detect and could cause
injury ). Turn the drain pump impeller
by hand to check that there are no
more obstructions. Y ou will feel a little
resistance when y ou turn the
impeller.
^ C arefully replace the non-return valve
and secure it with the catch.
,E nsure that the catch engages
correctly .
^ P ress the catch for the non-return
valve inwards a.
^ L ift out the non-return valve b, and
rinse well under running water.
^ R emove all foreign objects from the
non-return valve.

T h e M iele w ater p r o o f anti-leak
sy stem
P roviding y our dishwasher has been
installed correctly , the Miele waterproof
anti-leak sy stem will protect y ou from
water damage throughout its lifetime.
C o nnec tio n to th e w ater su p p ly
,W ater in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
– The water pressure (flow pressure at
the take-off point) must be between
30 and 1000 kP a (0.3 and 10 bar).
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be
fitted.
,To avoid any
damage to the
appliance, the dishwasher must only
be connected to a fully vented
plumbing sy stem.
– The dishwasher may be connected
to a cold or hot water supply , max .
60 ° C . W e would only recommend
connection to a hot water supply if it
is economical, e.g. a solar powered
supply . W hen connected to a hot
water supply all programme stages
which would otherwise be carried out
with cold water will be carried out
with hot water.
,A hot water connection with
temperatures ex ceeding 60 ° C may
cause damage to the unit, impair
wash results and affect the product
guarantee.
– The inlet hose is approx . 1.5 m long. A
1.5 metre long flex ible metal ex tension
hose, pressure tested to 14,000 kP a/
140 bar, is available as an optional
accessory if req uired.
– A tap with a 3/4" male thread must be
provided on site.
– The dishwasher is constructed to
comply with A ustralian regulations,
and may be connected to a suitable
supply without an ex tra non-return
valve if national regulations allow this.
72
! The inlet hose must no t be
shortened or damaged in any way
as it contains electrical components
(see illustration).
This appliance incorporates backflow protection comply ing with
A S /NZ S 3500.1.2. No further
backflow protection req uired for
connection to the water supply .
P lu m b ing
D r ainag e
V enting th e d r ainag e sy stem
– The appliance drainage sy stem is
fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.
If the on-site drain connection is
situated lower than the guide path for
the bottom basket rollers in the open
door, the drainage sy stem must be
vented. O therwise a siphoning effect
during a programme can cause the
appliance to empty itself of water.
– The dishwasher is supplied with
approx . 1.5 m of flex ible drain hose
with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
– The drain hose can be ex tended
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 must not ex ceed 1 m.
To vent it:
^ O pen the dishwasher door fully .
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the
hose clip supplied (see installation
diagram).
– 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
widths of hose. If the connector
protrudes too far into the drain hose,
it will need to be shortened.
O therwise the drain hose may
become blocked.
^ P ull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.
^ C ut off the top of the vent valve in the
wash cabinet.
– The drain hose must not be
shortened.
