Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can causeconsiderable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, andrepairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised 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 continuity is complete between it and an effective earthingsystem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement ispresent. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by aqualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequateearthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Reliable and safe operation of the dishwasher can only be assuredif it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The dishwasher must only be connected to the electricity supplyvia a suitable switched socket. The socket must be easily accessibleafter the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected fromthe electricity supply at any time.

There must be no electrical sockets concealed behind thedishwasher because the building-in niche may be too small, creatinga risk of overheating if the dishwasher were to be pushed up againstthe plug (fire hazard).

The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. Thehigh temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage thedishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not beinstalled next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat,such as heaters etc.


9

Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate(fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the electricity supply toprevent damage to the dishwasher. Compare these beforeconnecting the appliance to the mains electricity. If in any doubt,consult a qualified electrician.

Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply until it hasbeen fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the doorsprings.

The dishwasher may only be operated if the door openingmechanism is working correctly, as otherwise there could be adanger when the automatic door opening is activated (depending onthe model).To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:

- The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They arecorrectly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left halfopen (approx. 45° opening angle). The door must not fall open onits own beyond this point.

- The door locking pins retract automatically after the drying phasewhen the door is opened.

Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee therequired safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do notconnect the dishwasher to the electricity supply using a multi-socketadapter or an extension cord.

The dishwasher must not be installed and operated in mobilelocations (e.g. on a ship).

Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk offrost. Frozen hoses can break or burst. The reliability of the electroniccontrol unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

To avoid any damage to the dishwasher, it must only be operatedwhen it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.


10

The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electricalvalve. The housing must not be dipped in water.

There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the hose,even if it is too long.

The integrated water protection system offers protection fromwater damage, provided the following conditions are met:

- Installation has been carried out correctly.

- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replacedwhen they are visibly damaged.

- The tap is turned off during longer absences from the home (e.g.whilst on holiday).

The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher isswitched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected tothe electricity supply.

The water connection pressure needs to be between 50 and1,000 kPa.

A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwashergets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and contactMiele customer service.

The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when originalMiele parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced byoriginal spare parts.

During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwashermust be disconnected from the electricity supply (switch it off andwithdraw the plug from the socket).

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replacedwith a special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by aMiele authorised service technician only in order to avoid a hazard.


11

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches orother vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance andits surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage whichmay be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be coveredby the warranty.

Correct installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in accordancewith the installation instructions and the supplied installation plan.

Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/cutting. Wearprotective gloves.

The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensuretrouble-free operation.

In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashersmust only be installed under a continuous countertop which issecured to adjacent cabinetry.

The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additionalsafety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliancein a tall unit, please use the "Tall unit installation kit" and observe theinstallation plan provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unittipping over.

The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They arecorrectly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left halfopen (approx. 45° opening angle). The door must not fall open on itsown beyond this point. The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted doorsprings. If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact Miele customerservice.

The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with thefactory fitted door springs is 10–12 kg (depending on model).


12

Correct use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. There is a danger ofexplosion.

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasherdetergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosiveingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and cancause burning in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat, or inhibitbreathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Do not inhalepowder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seekmedical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed orinhaled. Contact a Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or theNational Poisons Centre (NZ).

Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You couldinjure yourself on the open door or trip over it.

Do not sit, stand, or lean on the open door. The dishwasher couldtip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.

Dishes may be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow thedishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle beforeunloading them.

Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domesticdishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.

Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These maycause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosivechemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.This will cause serious damage to the rinse aid reservoir.

Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.


13

Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pureevaporated salts for reactivation. Other types of salt (such ascooking salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt) may containinsoluble components which can impair the functioning of the watersoftener.

In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knivesand forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basketfor safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handlesdownwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handledown in the cutlery basket will come out cleaner and drier.

Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should notbe cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in thedishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.

If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergentcompartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary.The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment isnot dry, and it may not be fully rinsed out.

Please observe the information listed under Technical dataregarding the capacity of the dishwasher.

Accessories

Only use original Miele accessories. Using spare parts oraccessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty,and Miele cannot accept liability.

Transport

Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that nowater flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.

If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securelyfasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses, and cables.

The welcome screen will appear whenthe dishwasher is switched on for thefirst time.

For further information about thedisplay functionality, see “Guide to theappliance - Display functions”.

Setting the language

The display will change automatically tothe screen for setting the language.

Select the language and the country,if applicable, using the buttonsand confirm with OK.

For further information on setting thelanguage, see “Settings - Language”.

A tick will appear next to thelanguage that has been set.

Setting the water hardness

The display will change to the screenfor setting the water hardness.

- The dishwasher needs to beprogrammed to the correct waterhardness for your area.

- Your local water authority will be ableto advise you of the water hardnesslevel in your area.

- Where the water hardness fluctuates,e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 - 15 °dH - German scale), alwaysprogramme the dishwasher to thehigher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °dH inthis example).

In the event of a fault, it will help theservice technician if you know thehardness of your local water supply.

Enter the water hardness below:

____________ mmol/l

The dishwasher is programmed at thefactory for a water hardness level of0.36 mmol/l (2 °dH - German scale).

Set the water hardness level in yourarea and confirm with OK.

See “Settings - Water hardness” formore information.


22

Finally, prompts will appear in thedisplay.

After confirming these prompts withOK, the messages Refill salt and Refill rinse aid may appear.

Add salt and rinse aid if necessary(see “Using for the first time -Dishwasher salt” and “Rinse aid”).

Select OK to confirm the messages.

When a programme is selected, it willappear briefly in the display and therelevant indicator light will come on. Next, the estimated energy and waterconsumption may be shown for theselected programme for severalseconds.Finally, the display will show theestimated programme duration for theprogramme selected.


23

Dishwasher saltIn order to achieve good cleaningresults, the dishwasher needs tooperate with soft (low limescale) water.Hard water results in the build-up ofcalcium deposits on crockery and in theappliance. Water with a hardness level higher than0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – German scale) mustbe softened. This occurs automaticallyin the integrated water softener. Thewater softener is suitable for a waterhardness level of up to 12.5 mmol/l(70 °dH - German scale).

The water softener requires reactivationsalt. Depending on the water hardness level(< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH – Germanscale), dishwasher salt is not required ifcombination detergents are being used(see “Detergents - Types ofdetergents”).

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

Damage to the water softenerfrom detergents.Dishwasher detergents will damagethe water softener.Do not fill the salt reservoir withpowder or liquid detergent.

Damage caused by usingunsuitable salts.Other types of salt (such as cookingsalt, rock salt, agricultural grade orgritting salt) may contain insolublecomponents which can impair thefunctioning of the water softener.Only use special coarse-graineddishwasher salt or other pureevaporated salts for reactivation.

If you only ever use combinationdetergent products in yourdishwasher, you can switch off bothrefill reminders if you wish (see“Settings - Refill reminders”).

Please make sure that if you stopusing combination detergents, yourefill the dishwasher salt and rinseaid. Switch the refill reminders backon if required.


24

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for thefirst time, you must fill it with approx.2 litres of water to enable the salt todissolve.

Once the dishwasher has been used,there is always sufficient water in thesalt reservoir.

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

Risk 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 to replenish the salt.

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

Place the funnel provided on the saltreservoir 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 saltcontainer, run the 65 °CQuickPowerWash programme withthe Express option and withoutany load in the dishwasher todissolve and remove any traces ofsalt from the wash cabinet.


25

Replenishing salt

When Refill salt appears in thedisplay wait until the end of theprogramme and then refill the saltreservoir.

Confirm with OK.

The salt refill indicator will go out.

Risk of corrosion due to salinesolution.Saline solution that runs out cancause corrosion in the wash cabinetand to the dishwasher load.Each time you have opened the saltreservoir lid, immediately run the 65 °C QuickPowerWash programmewith the Express option andwithout any dishes. This will dissolveand remove any traces of salt fromthe wash cabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,the refill reminder may still appear in thedisplay if the salt concentration has notyet reached the correct level. In thiscase, confirm with OK again.

The salt refill indicator is deactivated ifthe dishwasher is set to a waterhardness below 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH -German scale).


26

Rinse aidRinse aid is necessary to ensure waterdoes not cling to and leave marks oncrockery during the drying phase, and ithelps crockery dry faster after it hasbeen washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storagereservoir and the amount set isdispensed automatically.

Damage caused by washing-upliquid or detergents.Dishwasher detergent will destroythe rinse aid reservoir.Only fill rinse aid designed fordomestic dishwashers into thereservoir.

Alternatively, you can use liquid citricacid with up to 10% acid content. Thedishes will be more moist and stainedthan with rinse aid.

Damage caused by acids.The dishwasher can be damaged byacids with a higher concentration.Never use citric acid or vinegar witha higher acid content (e.g. vinegaressence 25% acid).

If you only ever use combinationdetergent products in yourdishwasher, you do not need to fillthe rinse aid reservoir. However, the best rinsing and dryingresults will be achieved by using adetergent together with separatedishwasher salt and rinse aid.

If you want to permanently usecombination detergent products inyour dishwasher, you can switch offthe refill reminders for salt and rinseaid if you wish (see “Settings - Refillreminders”).

Please make sure that if you stopusing combination detergents, yourefill the dishwasher salt and rinseaid. Switch the refill reminders backon if required.


27

Adding rinse aid

Lift the yellow catch on the lid of therinse aid container .

The lid will spring open.

Only add rinse aid until the fill levelindicator (see arrow) turns dark whenthe door is open horizontally.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.110 ml.

Close the flap firmly so that it clicksinto place. Otherwise water can enterthe rinse aid reservoir during aprogramme.

Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. Thisprevents over-foaming occurringduring the next programme.

You can adjust the rinse aid dosagefor best results (see "Settings - Rinseaid").

Refilling rinse aid

When the Refill rinse aid messageappears, the reservoir only containssufficient rinse aid for another 2 - 3programmes.

Add rinse aid in good time.

Confirm with OK.

The refill rinse aid reminder will go out.


28

Economical dishwashingThis dishwasher is exceptionallyeconomical in its use of water andelectricity. You can support the economicaloperation of your appliance by followingthese tips:

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

- Pre-rinsing dishes under runningwater is not necessary andunnecessarily increases water andenergy consumption.

- For the most economicaldishwashing, make full use of thebasket capacity without overloadingthe dishwasher. This results in themost economical use of thedishwasher in terms of energy andwater consumption.

- Choose a programme to suit the typeof crockery being washed and thedegree of soiling (see “Programmechart”).

- Select the ECO programme forenergy-saving dishwashing. Thisprogramme is the most efficient interms of its combined energy andwater consumption for cleaningdishes with a normal level of soiling.

- Follow the detergent manufacturer’srecommendations on detergentdosage.

- When using powder or liquiddetergent, you can use 1/3 lessdetergent if the baskets are only halffull.

- You can connect the dishwasher to ahot water supply. A hot waterconnection is particularly suitablewith energy-saving water heatingsources, such as solar water heaters.If the water is heated by electricity,we recommend connection to coldwater.


29

EcoFeedback consumptiondisplayThe "Consumption" function is used forcalling up information about the energyand water consumption of yourdishwasher (see "Settings -Consumption (EcoFeedback)").

The following information can beviewed in the display:

- An estimate of the consumptionbefore the programme begins

- The actual consumption at the end ofthe programme

- The total consumption of thedishwasher to date

1. Consumption estimate

After a programme has been selected,first the name of the programme andafter a few seconds the estimatedenergy consumption and waterconsumption will appear in thedisplay.

The estimated consumption will beshown as a bar chart. The more barsare shown ( ), the higher the energy orwater consumption.

The values are influenced by theprogramme, any programme optionsselected, the ambient conditions andthe size of the load.

The display will change automaticallyfrom showing the estimatedconsumption to showing the timeremaining.

The estimated consumption function isactivated as standard. It can bedeactivated, if preferred (see “Settings -Consumption (EcoFeedback)”).

2. Displaying consumption

At the end of the programme, you cancall up the actual energy and waterconsumption for the programme thathas just been run.

Confirm the message Consumption(OK) with OK.

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

3. Total consumption

You can call up the total consumptionof energy and water for all programmesyou have run on your dishwasher todate (see “Settings - Consumption(EcoFeedback)”).

General informationRemove coarse food residues fromcrockery.

There is no need to pre-rinse itemsunder 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.

Dishes can be loaded anywhere in thebaskets. However, please try to observethe following notes:

- Do not place dishes and utensilsinside other items where they willcover one another.

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

- Make sure that all items are securelypositioned.

- Hollow items such as cups, glasses,and saucepans etc. must be invertedin the baskets.

- Tall and narrow, hollow items such aschampagne glasses should beplaced in the centre of the basketrather than in the corners. Thisensures the hollow items are moreeasily 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 thebaskets. Small items such as lids should beplaced in the 3D MultiFlex tray or inthe cutlery basket (depending onmodel).

Some foods such as carrots,tomatoes, or tomato sauce maycontain natural dyes. These dyes candiscolour plastic items in thedishwasher if large quantities of thesefoods are in contact with the crockeryinside the machine. The stability ofplastic items is not affected by thisdiscolouration.Washing silverware can also causeplastic items to discolour.


31

Items not suitable for washing in thedishwasher:

- Wooden cutlery and crockery oritems with wooden parts. These maydiscolour and fade. Furthermore, theglue used in these items is notdishwasher safe. Wooden handlesmay come loose after being washedin the dishwasher.

- Craft items, antiques, valuable vases,and decorative glassware. Suchitems are not suitable fordishwashers.

- Plastic items that are not heatresistant. The high temperatures inthe dishwasher may cause them tomelt or lose shape.

- Copper, brass, tin, and aluminiumitems. These may discolour orbecome dull.

- Colours painted over a glaze. Thesemay fade after a number of washes.

- Delicate glassware and glasswarecontaining lead crystal. Clouding mayoccur over time.

Silverware

Silver can discolour when in contactwith foods containing sulphur. Theseinclude egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine, andmarinades. Silverware previously cleaned with asilver polish may still be damp orspotted at the end of a programme, aswater has not run off smoothly.

Useful tip: Rub the silverware dry witha cloth.

Damage due to caustic alkalinedetergents.Aluminium parts (e.g. the greasefilters of rangehoods) can bedamaged by caustic alkalinedetergents. In extreme cases, thereis a risk of an explosive chemicalreaction (such as an explosiveoxyhydrogen gas reaction).Aluminium components must not becleaned in the dishwasher withcaustic alkaline commercial orindustrial detergents.

Useful tip: When purchasing newcrockery and cutlery, make sure theyare dishwasher safe if you want to washthem in the dishwasher.

Glass care

- Clouding may occur on glasses afterfrequent washing in the dishwasher.When washing delicate glassware inthe dishwasher, select a special glasscare programme with a lowtemperature (see “Programme chart”).This will reduce the risk of clouding.

- Purchase glassware that isdishwasher safe (e.g. Riedelglassware).

- Use detergents with glass protectiveadditives.


32

Types of detergents

Damage due to unsuitabledetergents.Detergents that are not suitable fordomestic dishwashers can causedamage to the dishwasher or to theload.Only use detergents formulated fordomestic dishwashers.

Modern detergents contain variousactive ingredients, the most importantof which 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,coffee, tomato sauce).

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

There are different types of detergents:

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

- Tablet detergents. These are suitablefor most levels of soiling.

As well as the usual detergents,combination products are alsoavailable. These contain rinse aid and watersoftener (reactivation salt).Only use these combination detergentsfor the water hardness levelsrecommended by the manufacturer onthe packaging. The cleaning and drying performance ofthese combination detergents can varygreatly.

For optimum cleaning and dryingresults, use dishwasher detergent andadd salt and rinse aid separately.

Detergents

51

Risk of chemical burns fromdetergent.Dishwasher detergents can causeburning on the skin and in the eyes,nose, mouth, and throat.Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powderdetergents. Do not swallowdishwasher detergent. Seek medicalattention immediately if detergenthas been swallowed or inhaled.Keep detergents out of reach ofchildren. Detergent residues couldstill be present in the machine. Keepchildren away from the dishwasherwhen the door is open. Do not fill thedetergent 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 detergentcompartment to aid with dispensing:20, 30, max. When the door is openedto a horizontal position, they show theapproximate fill level in ml and themaximum fill height.

Follow the detergent dosagerecommended by the manufactureron the packaging.

Unless directed otherwise, use onedetergent tablet or add 20 to 30 ml ofdetergent to the detergentcompartment, depending on thedegree of soiling of the crockery.

If you use less than the recommendedamount of detergent, the dishes maynot get properly clean.

Some tablets may not dissolvecompletely when theprogramme QuickPowerWash is used.

Cleaning and care

66

Check the condition of yourdishwasher regularly (approx. every4–6 months). This way, faults andproblems can be avoided.

Damage caused by unsuitablecleaning agents.All surfaces of this appliance aresusceptible to scratching. Contactwith unsuitable cleaning agents canalter or discolour all surfaces.Only use cleaning agents formulatedfor use on the relevant surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinetThe wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correctamount of detergent is always used.

The frequent use of low-temperaturewash programmes (< 50 °C) increasesthe risk of contamination and odoursinside the wash cabinet. Run theIntensive 75 °C programme once amonth to clean the wash cabinet andprevent odours from developing.

However, if residues such as limescaleor grease have been deposited, use theMaintenance programme to clean thedishwasher (see “Programme chart – Further programmes”) with dishwashercleaner (see “Optional accessories –Appliance care”). Follow the instructionson the product packaging. Miele cleaning and care products areavailable to order from a MieleExperience Centre or the Miele onlineshop.

Clean the filters in the wash cabinetregularly.

Cleaning and care

67

Cleaning the door and the doorsealThe door seal and the sides of thedishwasher door are not accessed andcleaned by the spray arm jets. As aresult, mould can develop here.

Wipe the door seals regularly with adamp cloth to remove food deposits.

Wipe off any food or drink residueswhich may have dripped onto thesides of the dishwasher door beforeclosing it.

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 mightbecome impossible to remove andcould cause the external surfaces toalter or discolour.It is therefore best to remove anysoiling immediately.

Clean the front with a soft spongeand a solution of warm water and alittle washing-up liquid. Aftercleaning, wipe the front dry using asoft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth (suchas the Original Miele all purposemicrofibre cloth) without detergentcan also be used.

To avoid damaging the externalsurfaces, do not use the following:

- cleaning agents containing soda,ammonia, acids or chlorides

- cleaning agents containing descalingagents

- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.powder cleaners and cream cleaners

- solvent-based cleaning agents

- stainless steel cleaning agents

- dishwasher cleaners

- oven cleaners or sprays

- glass cleaning agents

- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,e.g. pot scourers, brushes, orsponges which have been previouslyused with abrasive cleaning agents

- dirt eraser sponges

- sharp metal scrapers

- steel wool or metal scourers

- steam cleaners

Cleaning and care

68

Cleaning the spray armsParticles of food can get stuck in thespray arm jets and bearings. The sprayarms should therefore be inspectedregularly (approx. every 2–4 months).

Damage due to soiling enteringthe circulation system.Without filters, soiling can enter thecirculation system and cause ablockage.Do not run a wash programmewithout the lower spray arm orwithout the filters fitted.When cleaning the filters and sprayarms, make sure that coarse soilingcannot get into the circulationsystem.

Switch the dishwasher off.

Removing the upper and middlespray arms

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,releasing toxic gases.Do not use an extension lead ormulti-socket plug adapter.

Risk of fire from overheating.Connecting the dishwasher to amulti-socket plug adapter or to anextension lead can overload thecable.Do not use an extension lead ormulti-socket plug adapter.

The socket must be easily accessibleafter the dishwasher has beeninstalled. If the switch is notaccessible after installation, anadditional means of disconnectionmust be provided for all poles.

If the connection cable is damaged, itmust only be replaced with a specificconnection cable of the same type(available from Miele) in order to avoid ahazard. For safety reasons, suchreplacement may only be carried out bya suitably qualified and competenttechnician or by Miele.

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 coulddamage the electronics. The dishwasher must not be used withso-called energy-saving deviceseither. These reduce the amount ofenergy supplied to the appliance,causing it to overheat.

Before connecting the appliance, checkthat the connection data on the dataplate (voltage, frequency, and fuserating) match the mains electricitysupply and that the installed socketsystem matches that of the dishwasher.If in any doubt, consult a qualifiedelectrician.

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

The electrical installation and allelectrical work must be carried out by asuitably qualified and competentperson, in strict accordance withnational and local safety regulations.For extra safety, it is advisable to installa residual current device (RCD) with atrip current of 30 mA. Ensure power isnot supplied to the appliance until afterthe installation has been completed.Connection should be made via asuitable switched socket.
