Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Caring for the environment Energy saving washing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips: ^ If your household water system is suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply for further economies. If the water is heated by for example, solar panels, this would be energy efficient. However, if your water is heated by electricity we would recommend connection to cold water.
Before using for the first time To open the door Safety lock ^ Press the release catch inside the door grip upwards and pull the door open. Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted. ^ To lock the door, push the slide underneath the door grip to the right. ^ To unlock the door, push the slide to the left. To close the door ^ Push the baskets right in.
Before using for the first time Water softener In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d – German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener. – The water softener requires dishwasher salt.
Before using for the first time To programme the water hardness level Each time a button is pressed, one of the indicator lights will flash and light up in the control panel. However, only the indicator lights mentioned in the following programming process stages are significant. The number of times the Wash/Rinse programme sequence indicator flashes tells you the value which has been set (see chart). mmol/l °f 1- 4 0.2 - 0.7 2- 7 Once briefly 5- 7 0.9 - 1.3 9- 13 Twice briefly 8 - 11 1.4 - 2.
Before using for the first time Checking the programmed water hardness level ^ Switch the dishwasher off with the On/Off button K. ^ Press the Start/Stop button in and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button K. Keep the Start/Stop button pressed in until the "Start/Stop" indicator light comes on. ^ Press the programme selector button twice. The Wash/Rinse indicator will flash for the number of times which corresponds to the water hardness level which has been set (see chart).
Before using for the first time Before using the appliance for the first time you require: water hardness level in your area. – Approx. 1 litre of water, Salt should only be replenished when the salt indicator light comes on. In areas with very soft water this could be after a long period of time. – Approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt*, – Domestic dishwasher detergent*, – Rinse aid* formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Before using for the first time ^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Only open the salt reservoir when you want to fill it with dishwasher salt as water or salt solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed. ^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 1 litres of water (first use only). Salt indicator ^ Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt when the salt indicator light comes on. (If it comes on during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. If you only ever use combination products in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid indicator When the light comes on the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only. ^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time. ^ Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening. 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. ^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.
Before using for the first time Setting the rinse aid dosage You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results. The rinse aid dosage can be set from approx. 0-6 ml. It is set to a recommended setting of approx. 3 ml at the factory. If spots appear on crockery and glassware: ^ Increase the rinse aid dosage. If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and glassware: ^ Press the programme selector button three times. The lowest programme indicator will flash briefly three times at intervals.
Loading the dishwasher Note Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to rinse items under running water. ,Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and is distributed in the wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating grease and paint cause damage to the dishwasher.
Loading the dishwasher Items not suitable for dishwashers: – Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher. – Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers. – Plastic items which are not heat resistant: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
Loading the dishwasher Upper basket Hinged cup rack ,For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place. ^ To make room for tall items, raise the rack upwards. ^ 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.
Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the bottom or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on three levels with 2 cm between each level. The upper basket can also be set at an angle with one side high and the other side low. This can be useful to help prevent water being left in deep dishes etc. Ensure, however, that the basket can be inserted smoothly into the cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket before loading it.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket Hinged spikes Both rows of spikes in the front section of the basket can be lowered to make more room for large items, e.g. pots, pans and dishes. ^ For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc. Small items such as saucers can also be placed in the lower basket. Do not place thin, delicate glassware in the lower basket. 26 ^ Press the yellow lever downwards a, and then lower the spikes b.
Loading the dishwasher Removable spiked insert Bottle holder (depending on model) The spiked insert at the back can be removed to make more room for larger items such as casserole dishes. The bottle holder can be used to wash narrow items, e.g. milk and baby bottles. To remove the insert a ^ Place the bottle holder in the position shown in the bottom basket. If placed anywhere else, water will not be able to access the bottle properly, and cleaning results will be impaired.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery Cutlery tray (depending on model) If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, then lay them the other way round. ^ Arrange the cutlery in the tray as shown. To make unloading much easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.
Operation Detergent ,Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. Miele branded dishwasher cleaning products are available from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the Internet at www.miele-shop.com. Active ingredients Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are: – Phosphates to prevent calcification. – Alkalis to aid removal of dried on soiling. – Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein.
Operation ,Avoid inhalation of powder detergents and do not ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep detergent and other household agents out of the reach of children at all times. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
Operation Switching on Starting a programme ^ Make sure the spray arms are not obstructed. ^ Select the programme required with the programme selector button. ^ Close the door. The indicator light next to the selected programme will come on. ^ Open the stopcock, if it is closed. ^ Switch the dishwasher on with the On/Off button K. The Start/Stop indicator light flashes and the indicator light comes on next to the last programme selected.
Operation At the end of a programme Unloading the dishwasher The End indicator light will come on at the end of the programme. Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them. The dishwasher can now be opened and unloaded (see "Unloading the dishwasher"). ,To prevent the risk of steam If you open the door fully after switching off, the dishes will cool much faster.
Operation Interrupting a programme A programme is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened. ,Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding. Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle.
Additional functions Factory default setting If you have altered any settings from the factory default, you can re-set them back to the factory default settings as follows: ^ Switch the dishwasher off with the On/Off button K. The Wash/Rinse indicator light shows whether a setting other than the factory default setting has been set. – If the Wash/Rinse indicator light is flashing: All settings are factory default settings.
Cleaning and care Check your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided. * Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products are available from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the Internet at www.miele-shop.com. ,The outer surfaces of the dishwasher are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the outer surfaces.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it accessing the circulation system and re-entering the cabinet through the spray arms. ,The dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place. Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.
Cleaning and care To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened: ^ Press catches a together in the direction of the arrows as shown, and open the filter b. ^ Rinse all the filters under running water. ^ Then close the flap so that the catch engages. ^ Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. ^ Then turn the handle clockwise to lock the filter combination in place.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms ^ Remove the lower basket. Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). ^ Switch the dishwasher off. Remove the spray arms as follows: ^ Take out the cutlery tray (if your dishwasher is fitted with one). ^ Push the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.
