Warning and Safety instructions Delivery This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, use and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference, and pass them on to any future user.
Warning and Safety instructions The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob 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. If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-under ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion kit.
Warning and Safety instructions Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily, as you could trip over it. Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged and you could get injured. Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model) cutlery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards.
Warning and Safety instructions To avoid damage to the appliance and other materials Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause serious damage to the reservoir. Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always leads to serious damage to the water softener.
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! Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.
Before using for the first time To open the door To close the door ^ Push the baskets right in. ^ Then lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position. ^ Pull the handle. If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted.
Before using for the first time Before using the appliance for the first time you require: – approx. 2 litres of water, – approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt, – domestic dishwasher detergent, – rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that it has been used previously.
Before using for the first time To call up the water hardness level in the display After your dishwasher has been through one programme cycle (e. g. Pre-wash), you can check the water hardness level measured by the water softener sensor in the display. This is shown in °d - German scale, and can fluctuate depending on the quality of the water. ^ Switch the dishwasher off with the Off button o. ^ Press the programme selector button in, and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on with the On button g.
Before using for the first time External water softening system If your dishwasher is connected to an external water softening system which uses salt to reactivate, you will still need to programme the dishwasher to the correct water hardness level to achieve good cleaning results. ^ Set the water softener unit of the dishwasher to the water hardness level of the water which is supplied from the external water softening system. If you do not know what it is, set the dishwasher for 8 °d (1.4 mmol/l).
Before using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir 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 softener unit. The softener unit is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70 °d).
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. 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). ^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use).
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Adding 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. ,Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent always causes serious damage to the reservoir.
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 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 would enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme. ^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme. ^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
Before using for the first time Setting the rinse aid dosage 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: ^ Decrease the rinse aid dosage. ^ Switch the dishwasher off using the Off button o.
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 ,For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place. ^ 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. ^ Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.
Loading the dishwasher Hinged cup rack Positioning rail (depending on model) ^ To make room for tall items raise the rack upwards. Glasses can be arranged along the positioning rail to give them some support during the programme. G 2XXX models: You can set the cup rack at two different heights. ^ Raise the rail, and lean the glasses against it. ^ Pull the cup rack upwards and click it back into position at the required height.
Loading the dishwasher Support rail (depending on model) This support is designed to hold tall glasses and glasses with stems securely. ^ Lower the rail and lean tall glasses against it. ^ You can also remove a section of the cutlery tray to make more room for tall glasses.
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. Depending on the setting of the upper basket, the following plate dimensions can be accommodated. Dishwasher with cutlery tray (see data plate for model number) The upper basket can also be set at an angle with one side high and the other side low.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket ^ 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.
Loading the dishwasher Variable inserts Wide vario insert A variety of inserts are available for washing cups, glasses, plates, saucers, pots and pans in the lower basket. Vario inserts Removing the wide vario insert a ^ Pull upwards by the handle to remove. To fit an insert b ^ The cup rack can be raised to make more room for tall items. ^ Stem glassware e.g. wine glasses or champagne flutes can be leaned against the cup rack or suspended from it.
Loading the dishwasher Removing the narrow vario insert Bottle holder The bottle holder can be used to wash narrow items, e.g. milk and baby bottles. ^ Press the insert downwards a and the catch inwards b at the same time. ^ Place the bottle holder as 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, place 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.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery basket (depending on model) ^ To avoid the risk of injury, knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket. However, cutlery placed handle down in the basket will come out cleaner and drier. ^ Fit it into the cutlery basket if required. ^ Place small spoons in the individual slots to either side of the cutlery basket. Cutlery insert for the cutlery basket Use the insert supplied for heavily soiled spoons.
Operation Detergent ,Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing up liquid. ^ You can use conventional powder detergent, tablets or liquid dishwasher detergent. Refer to the dosing instructions given by the manufacturer on the packaging. ^ Put powder or liquid detergent into the dispenser compartment. ^ Detergent tablets should only be put into compartment II if this is recommended by the manufacturer.
Operation Adding detergent For information Compartment I holds max. 10 ml, Compartment II holds max. 50 ml. There are markings in compartment II to assist with dispensing: 20, 30.

During the programme, the time left until the end of the programme is displayed. At the end of a programme, the In-operation indicator light will be visible flashing slowly with the door shut. The time displayed may vary with the same programme.
Operation Switching off Unloading the dishwasher At the end of a 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. ^ Open the door. ^ Switch the dishwasher off using the Off button o. The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until the Off button o is switched off. If the dishwasher is not to be used for a longer period of time, e. g.
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.
Operation Additional functions Tab function You can programme your dishwasher to ensure excellent results when using tablet detergents by simply selecting the "2 in 1" and "3 in 1" function using the Tab button. The programme sequence will be adjusted to the type of detergent selected. Depending on the programme, the duration can be considerably longer. "2 in 1": When the "2 in 1" function is selected, the programme sequence is adjusted for "2 in 1" tabs (detergent containing rinse aid).

Cleaning and care Cleaning the reflector panel Check your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided. Cleaning the wash cabinet The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used. If, however, there are limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner, such as the Miele dishwasher cleaner (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department).
Cleaning and care Cleaning the control panel ,Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, glass cleaning agents or all-purpose cleaners. Because of their chemical composition, they could cause serious damage to surfaces. ^ This should only be wiped with a damp cloth. Cleaning the door front ,Do not use any cleaning agents containing ammonia or thinners. These would damage the surface structure.
Cleaning and care Checking the filters in the wash cabinet Cleaning the filters ^ Switch the dishwasher off. 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.
Cleaning and care To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened: ^ Press together the catches in the direction of the arrows a 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.
