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 Energy saving washing The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. These dishwashers are exceptionally efficient in their use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips: Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
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.
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 Push the baskets right in Lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position 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.
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 (programmed) and 2. the salt reservoir must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation. (With very soft water (under 70 mg/l (4° dH) no dishwasher salt needs to be added).
Water softener To set the water softener Hardness level 20-630 mg/l (1 - 35 °d German scale) Press the "Top Solo" button as many times as necessary until the water hardness value required (measured in °dH) appears in the display. Example: For a water hardness level of 540 mg/l (30 °d German scale). Keep pressing the "Top Solo" button until "30" appears in the display. Once the figure "36" is reached the counter returns to "1". Press the “START/Stop” button. “SP” appears in the time display.
Water softener Hardness level 650 - 1260 mg/l (36 - 70 °d German scale) mgl/l °f 36-47 48-65 650-850 860-1170 65-85 86-117 36 36 4 5 66-70 1190-1260 119-126 36 6 *) Switch off the dishwasher. Press and hold in the "+" and "START/Stop" buttons, and at the same time switch on the dishwasher with the "ON/OFF " button. "P" and two figures appear in the time display. Press the "UNIVERSAL 55 °" programme button. A figure appears in the display corresponding to the water hardness level already set, e.
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 With water that is very soft, i.e. at a level constantly below 70 mg/l (4 °d), no reactivation salt needs to be added. As the salt reservoir is empty the salt indicator light will come on. In this case the light is of no significance. 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. Hollow items e.g. cups, glasses etc. must be inverted in the basket. Deep based items should be placed at an angle such that water runs off them freely.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Loading examples Height limit 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. The height guard at the base of the upper basket is there to protect the middle spray arm. No object placed in the lower basket should stand higher than this guard.
Loading the dishwasher Upper basket Note for “Top Solo” If a wash programme has been selected with the additional option “Top Solo”, all crockery must be loaded into the upper basket and cutlery tray. See the “Additional options and functions” chapter for further information. As the middle spray arm also directs water downwards, lightly soiled plates or platters can be placed in the bottom basket if there are large spaces between them.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Cutlery Dishwashers with cutlery basket: Unsorted cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket, handles facing downwards. 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. 24 Larger items like soup ladles, long knives and mixing spoons should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.
Loading the dishwasher Spoon inserts for cutlery basket Use the inserts supplied when washing heavily soiled spoons, e.g. tablespoons and serving spoons. The inserts separate the spoons to allow a space between them, for the water jets to reach the entire surface. Place the spoons into the inserts with the handles facing downwards. Only use alternate slots. When needed place one insert at the front and one at the back of the cutlery basket.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Dishwasher with cutlery tray (SC models): For best results cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons etc. This makes unloading much easier. Larger items like sauce ladles, cake slices, long knives and mixing spoons can be placed lengthwise in the trough in the centre of the tray. Ensure that spoon heads are in contact with at least one of the grips in the cutlery tray. This way they cannot collect water.
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 plates Ø in cm Upper Lower basket basket 15.5 30 17.5 28 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. 3.
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 programme begins. Press the “On/Off”-switch (16). Sequence indication (15) All the indicator lights (17) next to the programme selector buttons and the decimal point (19) in the time display light up. After starting a programme the sequence indicator lights (15) show the actual programme stage reached in a programme.
Switching on and off Time display (19) End of a programme The time left for a programme to run shows in the display in hours and minutes as the programme progresses. the "Time left" indicator light is on. The time displayed in the time display may vary with the same programme. This is partly dependent on the temperature of the inlet water on each occasion. A programme has finished when no indicator lights are illuminated in the programme sequence display (15) and a "0" shows in the time display.
Switching on and off Interrupting a programme Programme change 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. Proceed as follows if the "START/Stop" button has not yet been pushed in to start the programme: Warning! Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding. Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise caution when doing so.
Additional options and functions Additional options and functions Delay start (20) The starting time of a programme can be delayed up to 24 hours, e.g. to benefit from economy rates of electricity. With a delay start time of between 30 minutes and 9 hours 30 minutes the time can be set in 30-minute stages. For 10 or more hours the time can be set in one-hour stages. Switch off the dishwasher with the "ON-OFF" button (16) . Press the programme selector button (17) for the required programme.
Additional options and functions How the delay start time is shown: up to 59 minutes: example - 30 minutes = 3 0 between 1 hour and 9 hours & 30 minutes: example - 5 hours = 5. 0 0 from 10 hours: example - 15 hours = 1 5 h To avoid the danger of children coming into contact with the dishwasher detergent: Only put it into the detergent dispenser just before starting the programme, and then secure the door with the child safety lock.
Additional options and functions Top Solo (21) (for small amounts of crockery) With this option 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 option 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.
Removing the load Removing the load Hot crockery will chip and break more easily. After switching off let it cool down in the dishwasher until it is comfortable enough to handle, before you unload it. If you open the door fully after switching off, the crockery will cool down much faster. First unload the bottom basket, then the upper basket and then the cutlery tray (if you have one) at the very end.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet The dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place! The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet should be regularly inspected and cleaned if necessary. Turn the handle anti-clockwise to release the filters. Lift and take the filter combination out of the machine. Remove coarse particles and rinse under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Turn the filter combination over and open the coarse filter by pulling back on the locking device. Clean the coarse filter under running water, using a brush if necessary, and press the locking device back in. Important: After cleaning make sure that the locking device is properly locked. 44 Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Secure the filter by turning the handle in a clockwise direction.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms Particles of food can lodge in the spray arm jets. The spray arms should be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 6 months). To do this remove the spray arms as follows. Lift up the middle spray arm b to engage the tooth-wheel mechanism. Then unscrew the spray arm c. Dishwashers with cutlery basket: Unscrew the upper spray arm. Dishwashers with cutlery tray: Pull out the cutlery tray.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve If 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. Watch out for glass splinters, which could cause injury. Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet. Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out of the wash cabinet. Lift up the non-return valve and rinse under running water. Raise the locking clamp.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Cleaning the filter in the water inlet To clean the 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.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Cleaning the wash cabinet In general the wash cabinet is selfcleaning, provided that the correct amount of dishwasher detergent is used. If however there are lime scale or grease deposits these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner. Cleaning the door and the door seal 48 The facia panel This should only be wiped with a damp cloth, or a suitable plastic cleaner. Do not use an abrasive cleaner, a glass cleaner or an all-purpose cleaner.
Problem solving guide Problem solving guide With the aid of the following explanatory notes, minor faults can be corrected without contacting the Miele Service Department. Any work on the electrical components of the appliance should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and national regulations. Unauthorised repairs could be dangerous. If, however, you are unable to correct the problem, the Miele Service Department should be contacted.
Problem solving guide The wash cycle is cancelled before the end and the “Water outlet” check light flashes – The drain hose is kinked. – The drain pump is blocked – see “Cleaning and care”. – Foreign bodies are obstructing the non-return valve - see "Cleaning and care". Before removing the obstruction: Press the START/Stop button for at least one second. All indicator lights next to the programme selector buttons light up. Switch off the dishwasher with the ON / OFF switch.
Problem solving guide The “Water inlet” check light comes on during the “Energy save” programme. For technical reasons the “Energy save” programme requires a warm water intake temperature of at least 45 °C (temperature of the inflowing water) – see also “Programme selection”. If the inflowing water does not reach the necessary temperature the indicator light “Water inlet” illuminates. One reason for this may be that the domestic hot water system has been overused for a short period of time.

Installing “Freestanding” dishwashers Installing “Freestanding” dishwashers “Freestanding” dishwashers The dishwasher must be installed and levelled. 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). Decor frame and decor panel “Freestanding” dishwashers can be subsequently fitted with a decor frame (standard feature with some models only). Screw on the lower decor strip b. Insert the decor panel c.
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. 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.
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 I 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 3. Fitting the facia panel The facia panel is delivered separately in the colour ordered with the necessary accessories. It has to be fitted to the dishwasher when it is being installed. Put the large cap b on the button for the ON/OFF control switch. Put the two small caps which have one straight side c on to the "+" and "–" button switches. The straight sides must face each other.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers 4. Matching the facia panel to the dimensions of the adjacent drawer fronts Adjustment range: The facia panel can be aligned with the drawer fronts of the kitchen units by adjusting the spacer bars. to 145 mm: facia panel with four spacer bars, to 154 mm: using a fifth spacer bar (special accessory at extra cost). from 112 mm: facia panel without spacer bars Please note After adjustment cut off any protruding lengths of the screws.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers 5. Fitting the (matching) door front The door of the 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. Templates are provided to position the fixing bracket and the door front accurately. Fixing brackets are already fitted on the stainless steel door front. This front cannot be shortened.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers Adjust the fixing bracket D: The long holes in the machine door outer panel must be aligned with the matching markings on the template. On the template E mark the height of the top edge of adjacent kitchen base unit doors. Take off the fixing bracket. Lay the door front down with the rear side facing upwards.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers Installation integrated “i” Dishwashers Drill the fixing holes to a depth of about 10 mm, using a 2.5 mm drill bit. Secure the fixing bracket to the door front using the flat-head screws supplied. Take off the templates. Keep the templates in case the dishwasher is ever fitted with a new door front. Open the dishwasher door slightly. Adjust the door front for the height on one side and lightly screw in a T20 Torx screw on this side.
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 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 its niche. Screw the countersunk screws (3.9 x 22) upwards through the securing pieces on the left and right hand sides into the work surface to secure the dishwasher. Ensure that the seal on the top edge of the dishwasher fits directly against the worktop.
Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers 8. Matching the plinth facia of a kitchen run Place the plinth facia directly in front of the kitchen run but do not attach. The plinth area of the dishwasher is normally covered with a plinth run matching the kitchen furniture. 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.
