Warning and safety instructions Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergents and from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could be detergent residues in the appliance.
Warning and safety instructions The Miele Waterproof System offers protection from water damage, provided the following conditions are met: – the dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in – the dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where it can be seen that this is necessary – the stopcock has been turned off when the machine is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).
Caring for the environment 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. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling. Disposal of your old machine Old machines contain materials which can be re-cycled.
Caring for the environment Caring for the environment Energy saving washing These dishwashers are exceptionally efficient in their 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. However, if your water is heated by electricity we would still recommend connection to cold water.
Before using for the first time Before using for the first time Before using for the first time please note the following points: See the relevant chapters for detailed information on the points below. Setting the water softener The water softener unit must be set to deal with the water hardness level in your area. The salt reservoir must also first be filled with water and then with dishwasher salt. Never fill with dishwasher powder detergent.
Before using for the first time Before using for the first time It is important to choose the correct programme The NORMAL programme and the UNIVERSAL programmes are ideally suited to everyday loads. See the programme chart for descriptions of other programmes. When the dishwasher is run for the first time the programme selected will not start for approx. 7 minutes. During these 7 minutes the “Reactivate” (Regenerate) programme step is carried out and the “Reactivate” indicator light illuminates.
Opening and closing the door Opening and closing the door To open the door Press the release catch inside the door grip. If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted. To close the door Child safety lock The child safety lock is designed to deter children from opening the dishwasher door. Use the key provided to turn the child safety lock to the required setting. Push the baskets right in Horizontal setting = The door is locked.
Water softener Water softener To avoid the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and cutlery, and in the dishwasher the water needs to be softened. To ensure a steady supply of soft water the built-in water softener must be: 1. correctly set and 2. the salt reservoir must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Water softener Water softener To set the water softener Water hardness level of 20-630 mg/l (1 - 35 °d German scale): Set the programme selector switch to the “UNIVERSAL 55 °” position. A figure appears in the time display corresponding to the water hardness level already set, e.g. "22" - the water softener is set to a water hardness level of 400 mg/l (22 °d German scale). Press the “Top Solo” button as often as necessary until the value of your water hardness appears in °d in the time display.
Water softener Water softener Water hardness level of 650-1260 mg/l (36 - 70 °d German scale): Switch the dishwasher off. The water hardness selector in the wash cabinet must be set according to the following chart. value water for hardness program- level ming selector (Setting) 36 4 Turn the programme selector switch to the “STOP” position. °d mg/l Press the “Delay start” and “START” buttons at the same time and at the same time switch the dishwasher on by pressing the “On/Off”-button.
Water softener Water softener Filling the salt reservoir Please only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, as other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the softener. The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt. Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher detergent always leads to damage to the water softener. Make sure that you have picked up the right packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir.
Water softener Water softener Salt indicator Note The salt indicator light will come on if the water used is very soft, i.e. constantly at a level below 70 mg/l (4 °d). The salt reservoir is empty as no reactivation salt is needed with such soft water. The light is of no significance in this case. The "Salt" indicator light has also been designated for future programme updates, (see "After Sales Service"). When the salt reservoir is empty the “Salt” indicator light comes on.
Adding rinse aid Adding rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 130 cm3. Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder detergent (or liquid detergent) always causes serious damage to the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Adding rinse aid Setting the dosage Add rinse aid only until it is visible on the surface of the filter in the opening. Close the flap firmly. The flap must audibly engage, otherwise water could get into the rinse aid storage container during the programme. Mop up any split rinse aid. This prevents over-forming occuring during the next programme. The flap should normally remain closed.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Note Load the crockery so that water will come into contact with all surfaces. This ensures that they will be properly cleaned. Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be concealed. Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolour if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the appliance on the crockery.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Loading examples Upper basket Bottom basket Larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls. Depending on the dishwasher model glasses may only be cleaned in the bottom basket if it is fitted with a special glassware insert or if there is a special bottom basket. Small, lightweight, delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Cutlery Dishwashers with cutlery basket: Unsorted cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket, handles facing downwards. Larger items like soup ladles, long knives and mixing spoons should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket. You may, however, prefer to place cutlery with sharp points with the handles upwards. Place small spoons in the individual slots to either side of the cutlery basket.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Dishwasher with cutlery tray (SC models): The cutlery tray insert is removable. It can be completely removed from its frame and carried to the cutlery drawer, or table where it can be easily unloaded. 24 For best results cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons etc. This makes unloading much easier.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Spoon heads should be placed in such a way that water runs off them freely. Cutlery with round or oval handles should be placed with the heads in the grips as this prevents them slipping. Ensure that spoon heads are in contact with at least one of the grips in the cutlery tray. This way they cannot collect water. The upper spray arm must not be blocked by items which are too big, e.g. cake slices.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Flap up racks Positioning rail (standard feature depending on model) Can either be used for a second row of cups or raised upwards to make room for tall items. For easy sorting and removing of crockery the positioning rail can be rested to one side. Raise it again afterwards so that crockery can rest against it in the basket.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket (depending on model) In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the bottom or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted in three steps with 2 cm between each step. Depending on the setting of the upper basket the following dimensions can be accommodated: Dishwashers with cutlery tray Upper basket position Top Middle Bottom Upper basket Ø cm 15.5 17.5 19.
Items not suitable for dishwashers Items not suitable for dishwashers – cutlery with wooden or horn handles, – wooden or plastic chopping boards, – glued items, e.g. old knives with handles which have been glued on, – hand-made craft items, – copper or tin items, – plastic items which are not heat resistant. Please note – Silver- and aluminium items can suffer some discolouration. – Aluminium components (e.g. grease filter) must not be cleaned with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial detergents.
Adding detergent Adding detergent Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing up liquid. Please note Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergent and from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.
Adding detergent Preventive measures: 1. If you wish to continue using the new chlorine and phosphate-free products, the following is recommended: – Try out an environmentally friendly detergent of the same type from another manufacturer. 2. If you are still dissatisfied with the results, we recommend the use of chlorine-free but not phosphate-free detergent. – The instrucions given in this book for setting the water softener and dispensing detergent remain valid. 30 3.
Adding detergent Dishwasher detergent must be added before each programme (except PREWASH). – Pour powder or liquid detergent into the dispenser. – Dishwasher detergent tablets can be put at various places in the wash cabinet, (follow the manufacturer’s advice on the packet). Detergent manufacturers give the required amount of detergent in ml (or g) on the packaging. The amount to dispense will depend on the type of load and the programme selected.
Adding detergent For information: Compartment I takes max. 25 ml, Compartment II max. 80 ml. There are horizontal markers to assist with dispensing in compartment II, indicating the level in ml. Press the opening catch on the container flap. The flap will spring open. The flap is always open at the end of a programme. Pour in the required amount of detergent. Shut the flap.
Choosing a programme Choosing a programme Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is. In most cases this will be the NORMAL programme or one of the UNIVERSAL programmes. NORMAL 55° UNIVERSAL 55° or 65° These programmes are ideally suited to everyday loads, mixed loads with varying degrees of soiling. For particular needs there are special programmes: The different programmes and their uses are described on the next two pages in the Programme chart.

The length of the programme selected appears in hours and minutes in the Time display (17).
Switching on and off Switching on and off Note: The “Reactivation” process is carried out before a wash programme. It lasts several minutes. During this process only the “Reactivating” indicator light is on. The hardness level of the inlet water dictates how often (after how many programmes) water needs to be softened. For example with a water hardness degree of 380 mg/l (21 °d German scale) reactivation takes place after every 3 programmes.
Switching on and off Switching on and off Programme interruption A wash programme is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again the programme will continue from the position it was at when it was interrupted. Warning! Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding. Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise caution when doing so. Hold the door for about 20 secs in the nearly closed position, before pushing it firmly shut.
Additional options Additional options Delay start (18) The starting time of a programme can be delayed up to 9 hours and 30 minutes (in 30 minute steps), e.g. to benefit from economy rates of electricity. Select a programme. The duration of the selected programme shows in the time display (17) in minutes and seconds. Press the “Delay start” (18) button once for every 30 minutes delay required. The programme duration goes out in the time display and the delay time is displayed in hours and minutes.
Additional options Additional options Top Solo (18) (for small amounts of crockery) With this function the majority of the water is directed only to the top and middle spray arms in the dishwasher. This means that the water jets are aimed only at items in the upper basket and cutlery tray (where fitted). This additional function is recommended when there is only a small amount of crockery and cutlery to clean which fits into the upper basket and the cutlery tray. N. B.

Installing a freestanding dishwasher Installing a freestanding dishwasher "Freestanding" dishwashers The dishwasher must be level and stable when installed. Any unevenness in the floor level can be compensated for by adjusting the four screw feet. The adjustment range is approx. 1 cm (85 - 86 cm total height). Height adjustable door The freestanding dishwasher is fitted with a height adjustable door, to match adjacent kitchen units. The adjustment range is approx. 7 cm.
Installing a freestanding dishwasher Installing a freestanding dishwasher 1. Establishing the height of the decor panel Adjust the dishwasher to the height required before establishing the height of the decor panel. The upper edge of the control panel facia and the top edge of an adjacent door or drawer must be at a matching height. Measurement "X" equals the distance from the lower edge of the dishwasher door to the lower edge of an adjacent kitchen unit door front.
Installing a freestanding dishwasher Installing a freestanding dishwasher Adapting the height of the decor panel supplied Establishing the height of a new decor panel Mark the measurement "X" on the left and right hand side of the decor panel and on the decor frame strips. The decor panel supplied with the dishwasher can be exchanged for a panel to match your kitchen decor. Take off and shorten the decor frame strips (see Step 2), the decor panel and the packing card.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers The “i” model dishwashers are specially designed for building under a continuous worktop. Dimensions: The front can be fitted with a base unit front to match the kitchen furniture. By using a decor set GDU “i” model dishwashers can be converted into a built-under “U”model dishwasher. The decor set is supplied with a separate installation instruction leaflet.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers 1. Fit worktop protection A stainless steel “niro” coverplate is supplied with the machine to protect the underside of the worktop against steam rising from the machine. The coverplate is supplied as standard with "i" models. Squeeze sealant from the tube supplied b into the angle of the “niro” plate. Align the "niro" plate c to the front edge of the worktop - see illustration and then use tacks supplied to nail the “niro” plate to the underside of the worktop.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers 2. Building the dishwasher into a niche Connection to water and drainage should be sited beside and not behind the dishwasher for accessibility. Connections are usually made in the area under the sink. Many kitchen unit manufacturers provide a cutout in the base of the sink base unit for the hoses to be fed through. If the base unit has no opening and if there is not an opening through the plinth area for connections, one must be cut. Suggested dimensions: 60 x 110 mm.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers The slides make installation of the dishwasher easier and protect the floor from possible damage when moving the appliance into and out of the recess. They are also used for adjusting the height of the rear screw feet. Adjust the height manually before installing the dishwasher. Leave a space of approx. 5 mm below the worktop to allow the dishwasher to be pushed back easily into the recess. Make sure that the dishwasher stands level.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers Adjust the rear screw feet to the required height. Higher = turn clockwise Lower = turn anti-clockwise Several turns are needed to adjust 1 mm in height. A battery-powered screwdriver could be used. Adjust the front screw feet manually or with a flat blade screwdriver. It is easier to adjust the screw feet if the weight of the dishwasher is not bearing down on them. If possible tip the machine slightly.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers 5. Fitting the (matching) door front The door of a kitchen base unit (without the drawer facia or fittings) is normally used for the door front. The door front is fixed to the machine door outer panel using a fixing bracket which has to be pre-mounted on the rear of the door front. Fixing brackets are already fitted on to the stainless steel door front. This front cannot be shortened.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers The fixing bracket is marked in the middle A. Lay the bracket on the rear side of the door front so that the marks A in the middle of the fixing bracket align with the vertical guide line, and the lower fixing holes of the bracket are centrally positioned in the horizontal guide line (see illustration). Use strips of adhesive tape to hold the bracket in this position. Drill the fixing holes to a depth of about 10 mm, using a 2.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers Installation integrated “i” Dishwashers Pull the dishwasher out of its recess enough to allow easy access to the side fixing screws for the door front. Hang the door front into the slits in the machine door outer panel, adjust for height and secure. Secure the door front by turning the screws clockwise at each side of the machine door outer panel. Plug the openings for the fixing screws using the plastic stoppers provided.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers 6. Adjusting the door springs The door springs are correctly adjusted when a half opened door (approx. 45° opening angle) remains in that position when released. If the door drops down, then the door springs need to be tightened. 7. Level and secure the dishwasher To ensure the stability of the dishwasher it must be screwed to the continuous worktop after it has been positioned. If, however, it rises up, then the springs need to be released.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers If one of the screw positions is in the cut-out area, e.g. of the built-in sink, attach the fixing bracket supplied. For “Corian” or granite worktops there is a special accessory to fix the dishwasher to an adjacent kitchen unit. Pull the dishwasher approx. 5-10 cm out of the recess. Pull the dishwasher approx. 5-10 cm out of its niche. Position the fixing bracket.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers 8. Matching the plinth facia of a kitchen run The plinth area of the dishwasher is normally covered with a plinth run matching the kitchen furniture. Place the plinth facia directly in front of the kitchen run but do not attach. Carefully open the dishwasher door. If the door front comes into contact with the kitchen plinth when the dishwasher door is opened the plinth facia in the area around the dishwasher door needs to be cut to size.
Electrical connection Electrical connection Please follow the installation instructions carefully. This dishwasher is supplied ready for connection to an a.c. single phase supply, (230 - 240 V 50 Hz for the UK and Australia). It is supplied with a mains cable and moulded plug. All electrical work should be carried out by a competent person in accordance with national and local regulations. Connection should be made via a fused plug and suitable switched socket which is easily accessible.
Electrical connection Non rewireable plugs BS 1363 If this machine or appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable plug, the following information applies: If the socket outlets are not suitable for the plug supplied with this product, it must be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. The plug cut from the flexible cord should be disposed of and on no account be inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard).
Plumbing Plumbing Connection to the water inlet Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water. The dishwasher may be connected to a cold or hot water supply, max. 60°C. When connected to a hot water supply all programme stages which would otherwise be carried out with cold water (pre-wash and interim rinse) as well as the PRE-WASH will be carried out with hot water. The programme “Energy save” (without heater) needs connection to a hot water supply with a temperature of at least 45°C.
Plumbing There must be a distance of at least 20 cm between the floor and the bottom of the “Waterproof” unit housing, for either vertical or horizontal installation. Lay the hose in such a way that it does not rise above the bottom of the “Waterproof” unit casing (see illustration). If the stopcock is situated in the worktop, a special angle connector can be ordered from the Miele Spare Parts Dept. (Part No. 2078910).
Plumbing Drainage The machine drainage system is fitted with a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the machine via the drain hose. The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
