Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can causeconsiderable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-pairs must only be carried out by a qualified technician.

Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Beforeusing the dishwasher, check it for any visible damage. Never use adamaged dishwasher.

The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteedwhen correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety re-quirement is present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should bechecked by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequateor lack of earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be as-sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supplyvia a suitable socket and plug (e.g. a switched socket and fused 3-pin plug in the UK). It must not be hard-wired. The electrical socketmust be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that itcan be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.

There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher be-cause the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheatingand fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.

The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a hob. The hightemperatures radiated by hobs could damage the dishwasher below.For the same reason, the appliance must not be installed next toopen fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heatersetc., not normally found in a kitchen.

Dishwasher saltIn order to achieve good cleaning res-ults, the dishwasher needs to operatewith soft water. Hard water results inthe build-up of calcium deposits oncrockery and on the inner surfaces ofthe appliance. Mains water with a hardness levelhigher than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °d – Germanscale) must be softened. This occursautomatically in the integrated watersoftener. The water softener is suitablefor a water hardness level of up to12.6 mmol/l (70 °d – German scale).

In order to maintain the water softener’sfunctions, the water softener must bereactivated regularly. Reactivation oc-curs automatically every ninth pro-gramme sequence. At the start of thenext programme, an additional 4.4 l ofwater is required for this process. En-ergy consumption increases by0.015 kWh and the programme is ex-tended by 3 minutes. The above only applies to the ECO pro-gramme at a water hardness of2.5 mmol/l (14 °d – German scale). Forother programmes and water hardnesslevels, the frequency of reactivation willdiffer.

In order to be reactivated, the watersoftener requires dishwasher salt. Depending on the water hardness level(< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °d – Germanscale), dishwasher salt is not required ifcombination detergents are being used(see the “Detergent” chapter, “Active in-gredients” section).

If the water in your area is very softand constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l(5 °d – German scale) you do notneed to add dishwasher salt. The saltrefill indicator will automatically switchoff after the water hardness has beenset accordingly (see the “Settings”chapter, “Water hardness” section).

Damage to the water softenerfrom detergent.Detergent will damage the watersoftener.Do not fill the salt reservoir withpowder or liquid detergent.

Damage caused by using unsuit-able salts.Some kinds of salts may contain in-soluble additives that can impair thefunctioning of the water softener.Only use special coarse-graineddishwasher salt or other pure kitchensalt for reactivation.

If you only ever use combination de-tergent products in your dishwasher,you can switch off both refill remindersif you wish (see “Settings” chapter,“Refill reminders” section).

Please make sure that if you stop us-ing combination detergents, you refillthe dishwasher salt and rinse aid.Switch the refill reminders back on ifrequired.

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for thefirst time, you must fill it with approx.2 l of water to enable the salt to dis-solve.

Once the dishwasher has been usedonce, there is always sufficient waterin the salt reservoir.

Remove the lower basket from thewash cabinet and unscrew the saltreservoir cap.

Danger of corrosion due to salinesolution.Water or saline solution will run outof the reservoir when the cap isopened. Saline solution that runs outcan cause corrosion in the washcabinet and to the dishwasher load.The salt reservoir should thereforeonly be opened in order to replenishthe salt.

Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2 lof water (first use only).

Place the funnel provided over thesalt reservoir and carefully fill withdishwasher salt until the reservoir isfull. The salt reservoir holds up to2 kg of salt, depending on the type ofsalt used.

Clean off salt residues from aroundthe salt reservoir opening. Next,screw the salt reservoir cap on againfirmly.

Immediately after filling the salt reser-voir and each time you remove thesalt container cap, run the 65 °C QuickPowerWash pro-gramme with the  Express pro-gramme option selected without aload in the dishwasher to dissolveand remove any traces of salt fromthe wash cabinet.

Replenishing salt

When  Refill salt appears in the dis-play wait until the end of the pro-gramme and then refill the salt reser-voir.

Confirm with OK.

The salt refill indicator will disappear.

Danger of corrosion due to salinesolution.Saline solution that runs out cancause corrosion in the wash cabinetand to the dishwasher load.Each time you remove the salt reser-voir cap, you must run the 65 °C QuickPowerWash pro-gramme with the  Express pro-gramme option selected without aload in the dishwasher. This will dis-solve and remove any traces of saltfrom the wash cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,the salt refill indicator may still appear inthe display if the salt concentration hasnot yet reached the correct level. In thiscase, confirm the message again withOK.

The salt refill indicator will be switchedoff if you have programmed the dish-washer for a water hardness below0.9 mmol/l (5 °d – German scale).

Rinse aidRinse aid is necessary to ensure thatwater does not cling and leave markson crockery during the drying phase,and helps crockery dry faster after ithas been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the containerand the amount set is dispensed auto-matically.

Washing-up liquid or detergentcan cause damage.Washing-up liquid and detergent candamage the rinse aid container.Only fill it with rinse aid formulatedfor domestic dishwashers.

Alternatively, you could use liquid citricacid at a concentration of up to 10 %.The resulting rinsing and drying qualitywill not, however, be as good as whenrinse aid is used.

Risk of acid damage.The dishwasher can be damaged byhigh concentrations of acid.Under no circumstances should youuse citric acid with a higher acidcontent.

If you only ever wish to use combina-tion products in your dishwasher,you do not need to add rinse aid. However, for optimum rinsing anddrying results, use dishwasher deter-gent and add dishwasher salt andrinse aid separately.

If you only ever use combination de-tergent products containing salt andrinse aid in your dishwasher, you canswitch off both refill reminders if youwish (see “Settings” chapter, “Refill re-minders” section).

Please make sure that if you stop us-ing combination detergents, you refillthe dishwasher salt and rinse aid.Switch the refill reminders back on ifrequired.

For optimum rinsing and drying res-ults, use dishwasher detergent andadd salt and rinse aid separately.

Adding rinse aid

Press the yellow button  on the lidof the rinse aid reservoir.

The lid will spring open.

Fill with rinse aid until the filling levelindicator (arrow) changes to a darkcolour while the door is horizontallyopen.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx-imately 110 ml.

Close the lid firmly until you hear itclick into place. Otherwise, water canenter the rinse aid reservoir during aprogramme.

Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. Thisprevents excess foam developingduring the next programme.

You can adjust the rinse aid dosagefor the best wash result (see “Set-tings” chapter, “Rinse aid” section).

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

When  Refill rinse aid appears in thedisplay, the reservoir contains sufficientrinse aid for two to three programmesonly.

Refill with rinse aid in plenty of time.

Confirm with OK.

The rinse aid refill reminder will disap-pear.

Economical dishwashingThis dishwasher is exceptionally eco-nomical in its use of water and electri-city. You can make the most of your appli-ance by following these tips:

– Washing in a dishwasher generallyuses less water and energy thanwashing by hand.

– There is no need to pre-rinse itemsunder running water, and this unne-cessarily increases water and energyconsumption.

– For the most economical dishwash-ing, make full use of the basket capa-city without overloading the dish-washer. This results in the most eco-nomical dishwashing in terms of en-ergy and water consumption.

– Choose the programme to suit thetype of crockery being washed andthe degree of soiling (see the “Pro-gramme overview” chapter).

– Select the ECO programme for en-ergy-saving dishwashing. This pro-gramme is the most efficient in termsof its combined energy and waterconsumption for cleaning dishes witha normal level of soiling.

– Follow the detergent manufacturer’srecommendations on detergentdosage.

– When using powder or liquid deter-gent, you can use 1/3 less detergent ifthe baskets are only half full.

– You can connect the dishwasher to ahot water supply. A hot water con-nection is particularly suitable withenergy-saving water heating sources,such as solar energy with a circula-tion system.If the water is heated by electricity,we would recommend connection tocold water.

You can find further tips on energy-saving dishwashing in Miele’s guide todishwashing at www.miele.com.

EcoFeedback consumption in-dicatorThe Consumption function is used forcalling up information about the energyand water consumption of your dish-washer (see “Settings” chapter, “Con-sumption” section).

The following information can be shownon the display:

– An estimate of the consumption be-fore the programme begins

– The actual consumption at the end ofthe programme

– The total consumption of the dish-washer

1. Consumption estimate

After a programme has been selected,first the name of the programme andafter a few seconds the estimated en-ergy consumption  and water con-sumption  will appear in the display.

The estimated consumption will beshown as a bar chart. The more barsthat are visible (  ), the higher the en-ergy or water consumption.

The values are influenced by the pro-gramme, any programme options selec-ted, the ambient conditions and the sizeof the load.

The display will change automaticallyfrom showing the estimated consump-tion to showing the time remaining.

The estimated consumption function isactivated as standard. This function canbe deactivated, if preferred (see “Set-tings”, “Consumption” section).

2. Display consumption

At the end of the programme you cancall up the actual amount of energy andwater used by the programme that hasjust been run.

Confirm the Consumption (OK) mes-sage with OK.

Switching the dishwasher off at theend of the programme will delete theactual consumption values for the pro-gramme that has just been run.

3. Total consumption

You can view the total consumption ofenergy and water for all previously usedprogrammes of your dishwasher (see“Settings” chapter, “Consumption” sec-tion).

General informationRemove coarse food residues fromcrockery.

There is no need to pre-rinse items un-der running water.

Damage can be caused by ash,sand, wax, lubricating grease orpaint.These substances will contaminatethe dishwasher and can then nolonger be removed.Do not wash items soiled with thesesubstances in the dishwasher.

Crockery can be loaded anywhere inthe baskets, but the following notesshould be observed:

– Do not place crockery and cutlery in-side other items where they will coverone another.

– Load the crockery so that water canaccess all surfaces. This ensures thatthey get properly cleaned.

– Make sure that all items are securelypositioned.

– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,pots etc. must be placed upsidedown in the baskets.

– Tall and narrow hollow items, such aschampagne glasses, should beplaced in the middle of the basketrather than in the corners. This en-sures the hollow items are more eas-ily accessed by the water jets.

– Wide-based items should be placedat an angle so that water can run offthem freely.

– The spray arms must not be blockedby items that are too tall or hangthrough the baskets. Test for freemovement by manually rotating thespray arms.

– Make sure that small items cannotfall through the holders in the bas-kets. Small items such as lids shouldtherefore be placed in the 3DMultiFlex tray or cutlery basket (de-pending on model).

Some foods may contain natural dyes,e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup.These dyes can discolour plastic itemsin the dishwasher if large quantities ofthese foods are in contact with thecrockery inside the appliance. The sta-bility of plastic items is not affected bythis discolouration.Washing silverware can also causeplastic items to discolour.

Items not suitable for dishwashers:

– Wooden cutlery and crockery oritems with wooden parts: these maydiscolour and fade. The glue used inthese items is not dishwasher-proofand wooden handles may comeloose after being washed in a dish-washer.

– Craft items, antiques, valuable vasesand decorative glassware: such itemsare not suitable for dishwashers.

– Plastic items that are not heat resist-ant: the high temperatures in thedishwasher may cause them to meltor lose shape.

– Copper, brass, tin and aluminiumitems: these may discolour or be-come dull.

– Colours painted over a glaze: thesemay fade after a number of washes.

– Delicate glassware and glasswarecontaining lead crystal: clouding mayoccur over time.

Silver

Silver that has been in contact withfoods containing sulphur can discolour.These include egg yolk, onions, mayon-naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brineand marinades. Silverware previously cleaned with asilver polish may still be damp or spot-ted at the end of a programme, wherewater has not run off smoothly.

Tip: Rub the silver dry with a cloth.

Damage due to caustic alkalinedetergents.Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease fil-ters of cooker hoods) can be dam-aged by caustic alkaline detergents.In extreme cases, there is a risk of anexplosive chemical reaction (such asan explosive oxyhydrogen gas reac-tion).Aluminium components must not becleaned in the dishwasher withcaustic alkaline commercial or indus-trial detergents.

Tip: When purchasing new crockeryand cutlery, make sure they are dish-washer-proof if you want to wash themin the dishwasher.

Glass care

– Clouding may occur on glasses afterfrequent washing in the dishwasher.When washing delicate glassware inthe dishwasher, ensure that only aspecial glass-care programme withvery low temperatures is selected(see “Programme overview”). This willreduce the risk of clouding.

– Purchase glassware that is dish-washer-safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).

– Use detergents with glass protectiveadditives.

Active ingredients

Damage caused by using unsuit-able detergents.Detergents that are not suitable fordomestic dishwashers can causedamage to the dishwasher or to theload.Only use detergents formulated fordomestic dishwashers.

Modern detergents contain various act-ive ingredients, the most important ofwhich are:

– Water softening complexing agentsto prevent calcification.

– Alkalis to aid removal of dried-onsoiling.

– Enzymes to break down starch andloosen protein.

– Oxygen-based bleaching agents toremove coloured stains (e.g. tea, cof-fee, tomato sauce).

Most dishwasher detergents are mildlyalkaline and contain enzymes and oxy-gen-based bleaching agents.

There are different types of detergent:

– Powder and liquid gel detergents.These detergents allow you to adjustthe amount dispensed according tothe size of the load and level of soil-ing.

– Tab detergents. These are suitable formost levels of soiling.

As well as the usual detergents, com-bination products are also available. These contain rinse aid and watersoftener (dishwasher salt).Only use these combination detergentsfor the water hardness levels recom-mended by the manufacturer on thepackaging. The cleaning and drying performance ofthese combination detergents can varygreatly.

For optimum cleaning and drying res-ults, use dishwasher detergent andadd salt and rinse aid separately.

Risk of chemical burns from de-tergent.Dishwasher detergents can causeburning on the skin and in the eyes,nose, mouth and throat.Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale powder detergents. Donot swallow dishwasher detergents.Seek medical attention immediately ifdetergent has been swallowed or in-haled.Keep children away from detergents.Detergent residues could still bepresent in the dishwasher. Keep chil-dren away from the dishwasher whenthe door is open. Do not fill the de-tergent dispenser until just beforestarting the programme and activatethe door safety lock (depending onmodel).

Detergent dispensingThe detergent compartment holds amaximum of 50 ml.

There are marks in the detergent com-partment to aid with dispensing: 20, 30,max. When the door is opened to a ho-rizontal position, they show the approx-imate fill level in ml and the maximumfill height.

Follow the detergent dosage recom-mended by the manufacturer on thepackaging.

Unless directed otherwise, use onedetergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml ofdetergent to the detergent compart-ment, depending on the level of soil-ing.

Failure to dispense the recommendedamount of detergent may impair clean-ing results.

With very heavy soiling you can alsoapply a small amount of detergent tothe inner panel of the door in pro-grammes that have a pre-wash stage(see “Programme overview” chapter).

Some tabs may not dissolve completelywhen the programme QuickPowerWashis used.

 Further programmes

Normal 60 °C

Programme for cleaning a mixed loadwith normal household food residues.

ExtraQuiet 55 °C

Very quiet programme with longer dura-tion. This programme is suitable for amixed load with normal household foodresidues that have dried on slightly.

Maintenance programme

The dishwasher wash cabinet is gener-ally self-cleaning. However, if residuesor deposits occur, use the Mainten-ance programme to clean it. The dish-washer must not be loaded for this pro-gramme. This programme is designedfor cleaning the wash cabinet usingcare products (dishwasher cleaner/dishwasher conditioner) (see “Optionalaccessories” chapter, “Appliance care”section). Follow the instructions on thepackaging. When using dishwashercare products, detergent should not bedispensed. For this reason, automaticdispensing (if available) will be deactiv-ated for this programme.

Selecting programme optionsYou can use programme options to ad-just the programmes.

To do this, you can select or deselectthe programme options in the pro-gramme menu of a selected programmebefore running it.

Open the door.

Switch the dishwasher on with the button.

The indicator light next to the pro-gramme selected will come on.

Select a different programme as re-quired.

Press the button for the programmeoption you want.

The indicator light will come for the rel-evant button if the programme option isavailable for the programme selected.

If the programme option is not compat-ible with the selected programme, amessage to this effect will appear in thedisplay.

In this instance, confirm the messagewith OK.

Start the programme by closing thedoor.

The selected programme option will re-main active for that particular pro-gramme until the setting is changed (ex-cept for the ECO programme).

Express 

The  Express option reduces theprogramme duration.

In order to achieve optimum cleaningresults, the temperature, and thereforethe energy consumption, will increasewith this option.

The time by which the programme dura-tion is shortened varies according to theselected programme.

Selecting the  Express option maytake precedence over other selectedoptions.

When used in combination with theQuickPowerWash programme, the Express option results in a washprogramme designed solely for thepurpose of flushing out the cabinet toremove saline solution that leaked outafter refilling the salt reservoir.

IntenseZone 

The  IntenseZone option increasescleaning performance in the lower bas-ket.

Energy consumption increases slightlydue to the extended wash duration inthe lower basket and increased temper-ature.

Cleaning and care

58

Check the condition of your dish-washer regularly (approx. every 4–6months). In this way, faults and prob-lems can be avoided.

Damage due to unsuitable clean-ing agents.All surfaces are susceptible toscratching. Contact with unsuitablecleaning agents can alter or discol-our the external surfaces.Only use cleaning agents formulatedfor use on the relevant surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinetThe wash cabinet is largely self-clean-ing, provided that the correct amount ofdetergent is always used.

However, if residues such as limescaleor grease have been deposited, use theMaintenance programme to clean thedishwasher (see “Programme overview”chapter, “Additional programmes ”section) with dishwasher cleaner (see“Optional accessories” chapter, “Appli-ance care” section). Follow the instruc-tions on the product packaging. Miele cleaning and care products areavailable to order from the Miele Cus-tomer Service Department or from theMiele online shop.

Clean the filters in the wash cabinetregularly.

Hygiene cycleIf you mainly use low temperature pro-grammes, there is a risk of bacteria andunpleasant odours building up in thewash cabinet. To prevent this happen-ing the dishwasher will automatically in-crease the temperature in the final rinseof the selected programme after severalprogrammes using low temperatureshave been run. This is to prevent thebuild-up of residues and odours. This programme results in higher energyconsumption.

You can activate or deactivate this func-tion (see “Settings” chapter, “Hygienecycle” section). If you switch off the Hygiene cycle, runthe Intensive 75 °C programme onceper month to clean the wash cabinetand prevent odours from developing.

Wipe off any food or drink residuesthat may have dripped onto the sidesof dishwasher door.

Cleaning the control panel The control panel should only be

wiped with a damp cloth.

Cleaning the appliance front

Damage due to soiling.Soiling that is left too long might be-come impossible to remove andcould cause the external surfaces toalter or discolour.It is therefore best to remove anysoiling immediately.

Clean the appliance front with a cleansoft sponge and a solution of warmwater and washing-up liquid. Aftercleaning, wipe the surfaces dry usinga soft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre clothwithout detergent can also be used.

To avoid damaging the external sur-faces, do not use the following:

– Detergents containing soda, ammo-nia, acids or chlorides

– Detergents containing descalingagents

– Abrasive detergents, e.g. scouringpowder, scouring liquid, or pumicestones

– Detergents containing solvents

– Glass cleaning agents

– Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,e.g. pot scourers, brushes orsponges that have been previouslyused with abrasive cleaning agents

– Eraser stain remover blocks

– Sharp metal scrapers

– Wire wool

– Steam cleaners

Unsatisfactory washing result

Problem Cause and remedy

The wash items are notclean.

The wash items were not loaded correctly. See notes in the “Loading the dishwasher”

chapter.The programme was not powerful enough. Select a more powerful programme (see “Pro-

gramme overview” chapter).Not enough detergent was dispensed during manualdetergent dispensing. Use more detergent or change the detergent you

are using.Items are blocking the path of the spray arms. Carry out a rotation check and if needed rearrange

the items so that the spray arms can rotate freely.The filter combination in the wash cabinet is not cleanor was incorrectly fitted. This may have caused the spray arm jets to becomeblocked. Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly. Clean the spray arm jets if necessary (see “Clean-

ing and care” chapter, “Cleaning the spray arms”section).

There are smears onglassware and cutlery.There is a bluish sheenon the surface of glass-ware. The film can bewiped off.

Problem solving guide

75

Problem Cause and remedy

Dishes are not dry orcutlery and glasses areflecked.

The rinse aid dosage is too low or the rinse aid con-tainer is empty. Replenish the rinse aid container, increase the

dosage or change the brand of rinse aid (see “Be-fore using for the first time” chapter, “Rinse aid”section).

Dishes were taken out of the wash cabinet too soon. Leave dishes in longer (see “Operation” chapter,

“Unloading the dishwasher” section).The duration of the drying phase for the selected pro-gramme is not sufficient for the dishes. Select the Extra dry function (see “Settings”

chapter, “Extra dry” section).You have used combination products that have insuf-ficient drying performance. Switch to another detergent, or replenish the rinse

aid (see “Before using for the first time” chapter,“Rinse aid” section).

Glassware has a brownor blue tinge. The filmcannot be wiped off.

Ingredients from the detergent have formed a deposit. Switch to another detergent straight away.

Glassware is dull anddiscoloured. The filmcannot be wiped off.

The glassware is not dishwasher-proof. The surfacehas altered. No remedy.

Purchase glassware that is dishwasher-proof.

Tea or lipstick stainshave not been com-pletely removed.

The wash temperature of the selected programmewas too low. Select a programme with a higher main wash tem-

perature.The bleaching effect of the detergent used is too low. Switch to another detergent.

Plastic items are discol-oured.

Natural dyes, e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or ketchupmay be the cause. The amount of detergent used orits bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with nat-ural dyes. Use more detergent (see “Detergent” chapter).

Parts that are already discoloured will not revert totheir original colour.

The Miele Waterproof systemProvided that your dishwasher hasbeen installed correctly, the Miele Wa-terproof system will protect you fromwater damage throughout its lifetime.

Water inlet

Danger to health due to washwater.Water in the dishwasher is not drink-ing water.Do not drink any water from the dish-washer.

Health risk and risk of damagedue to contaminated inlet water.The quality of the incoming watermust correspond to the drinking wa-ter specification of the country inwhich the dishwasher is being oper-ated.Connect the dishwasher to a drinkingwater supply.

The dishwasher may be connected tocold or hot water (up to max. 65 °C)supplies. If energy-saving water heating sourcessuch as solar energy circulation sys-tems are used, we recommend connec-tion to the hot water. This saves bothtime and electrical energy costs. Hotwater is used in all programmes.

The SolarSave programme (if available)requires a hot water connection ofbetween a minimum of 45 °C and amaximum of 65 °C (inlet temperature). The higher the water inlet temperature,the better the cleaning and drying res-ults.

The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long. A1.5 m long, flexible metal extensionhose (tested to 14,000 kPa/140 bar) isavailable as an optional accessory fromMiele specialist retailers or the MieleCustomer Service Department.

A stopcock with a ¾" threaded union isrequired for the connection. If a stop-cock is not available, a qualifiedplumber should connect the dishwasherto the domestic water supply.

A non-return valve is not required. Theappliance meets the requirements ofthe applicable DIN standards.

The water-connection pressure needsto be between 50 and 1,000 kPa. If thewater-connection pressure is too high,a pressure reducing valve must be fit-ted.

Risk of damage from leaking wa-ter.The connection point is subject tomains water pressure. Water leakingfrom it can cause damage.You should therefore open the stop-cock slowly and check for leaks.Correct the position of the washerand screw thread if appropriate.

Risk of damage due to excessivepressure.A brief increase in the water pressurecan damage components of thedishwasher.This dishwasher must only be oper-ated when it is connected to a fullyvented plumbing system.

Risk of electric shock from mainsvoltage.There are electrical components inthe water inlet hose.The inlet hose must not be shortenedor damaged in any way (see illustra-tion).

Water drainageThe dishwasher’s drainage system is fit-ted with a non-return valve, which pre-vents dirty water from flowing back intothe appliance via the drain hose.

The dishwasher is supplied with ap-prox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose withan internal diameter of 22 mm.

The drain hose can be extended using aconnection piece to attach a furtherlength of hose. The drainage lengthmust not be longer than 4 m and thedelivery head no higher than 1 m.

If the hose is to be directly fitted to thedrainage outlet on site, use the hoseclip supplied (see installation plan).

The hose can be directed to the left orthe right of the appliance.

The on-site connector for the drain hosecan be adapted to different hose dia-meters. If the connector extends too farinto the drain hose, it must beshortened. Otherwise, the drain hosecan become blocked.

The drain hose must not be shortened.

Lay the drain hose so that it does notkink and is not being subjected topressure or tugged.

Risk of damage from leaking wa-ter.Leaking water can cause damage.After commissioning, make sure thatthe water is not leaking.

Venting the water drain

If the on-site drainage connection issituated lower than the guide path forthe lower basket rollers in the opendoor, the drainage system must be ven-ted. Otherwise, a siphoning effect dur-ing a programme can cause the appli-ance to empty itself of water.

Open the dishwasher door fully.

Remove the lower basket.

Insert a screwdriver into the middleopening of the vent valve in the leftwash cabinet wall .

Press the screwdriver further into theopening and push it through themembrane  behind.

Electrical connectionThe dishwasher is supplied with amains cable with moulded plug readyfor connection to an earthed socket.

Danger of suffocation due togases.Connecting the dishwasher to amulti-socket plug adapter or to anextension lead can overload thecable. This can cause a fire, releas-ing toxic gases.For safety reasons, do not use an ex-tension lead or multi-socket plug ad-apter.

Risk of fire from overheating.Connecting the dishwasher to amulti-socket plug adapter or to anextension lead can overload thecable.For safety reasons, do not use an ex-tension lead or multi-socket plug ad-apter.

The socket must be easily accessibleafter the dishwasher has been in-stalled.

If the connection cable is damaged, itmust only be replaced with a specificconnection cable of the same type(available from Miele ). For safety reas-ons, such replacement may only becarried out by a qualified technician orMiele Service.

Do not connect the dishwasher to astand-alone inverter such as those usedwith an autonomous energy source e.g.solar power. When the appliance isswitched on, power surges could resultin a safety switch-off. This could dam-age the electronic module. The dishwasher must not be used withenergy-saving devices either. Thesereduce the amount of energy suppliedto the appliance, causing it to overheat.

Before connecting the appliance, checkthat the connection data on the dataplate (voltage, frequency and fuse rat-ing) match the mains electricity supplyand that the installed socket systemmatches that of the dishwasher. If inany doubt, consult a qualified electri-cian.

For technical data see the data platelocated on the right side of the door.

The electrical installation must be com-ply with current local and nationalsafety regulations (e.g. VDE 0100 inGermany/BS 7671 in the UK).
