Warning and Safety instructions

11

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can causeconsiderable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re‐pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

A damaged dishwasher is dangerous. Check it for any recognisa‐ble damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re‐quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installa‐tion tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequateearthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assur‐ed if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supplyvia a suitable switched socket using a suitable fused plug (it mustnot be hard-wired). The electrical 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 behind the dishwasher. Dan‐ger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushedup against a plug.

The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radi‐ant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob coulddamage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be instal‐led next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, suchas heaters etc.

To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that theconnection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequen‐cy) match the mains electricity supply before connecting the dish‐washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Warning and Safety instructions

12

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

The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mecha‐nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of dangerwhilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model)is active.To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:

– the door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. Theyare correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when lefthalf open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that thedoor cannot fall open.

– the door locking pins automatically retract when the door opensat the end of the drying phase.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guaranteethe required safety of the appliance (fire hazard).

The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.on a ship).

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

To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must onlybe operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.

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

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

Warning and Safety instructions

13

The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from waterdamage, provided the following conditions are met:

– The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.

– The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replacedwhere it can be seen that this is necessary.

– the stopcock is turned off during longer absences from the home(e.g. whilst on holiday).

The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switchedoff. However, the appliance must remain connected to the electricitysupply.

The water pressure (flow pressure at the take-off point) must bebetween 30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar).

If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains imme‐diately and call your Miele Dealer or the Miele Service Department.

While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be un‐dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise theguarantee is invalidated.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu‐ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty componentsmust only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply (switch it offand withdraw the plug from the socket).

If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with aspecial cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele au‐thorised service technician only.

Warning and Safety instructions

14

Correct installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliancewith the installation diagram supplied.

Take care, both before and during installation of the dish‐washer, not to cut yourself on the metal parts. Danger of in‐jury. Wear protective gloves.

The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-freeoperation.

In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwash‐ers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is se‐cured to adjacent cabinetry.

If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-un‐der ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversionkit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a U-model plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused byprotruding metal parts.

The door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. Theyare correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when lefthalf open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that thedoor cannot fall open. The appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted doorsprings.

Warning and Safety instructions

15

Correct use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher deter‐gents can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed,or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if detergenthas been swallowed or inhaled.

You could injure yourself on the open dishwasher door or trip overit. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dish‐washer to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.

Dishes can be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow themto cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unload‐ing.

Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish‐washers. Do not use washing-up liquid.

Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these maycause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical re‐action (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 reservoir.

Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dish‐washer detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure youhave picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before fillingthe salt reservoir!

Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade orgritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impairthe functioning of the water softener.

Warning and Safety instructions

16

In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cut‐lery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket withthe handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, placeknives and forks etc. with the handles upwards.

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 the dish‐washer may cause them to melt or lose shape.

If you use the "FlexiTimer/Delay start" option (depending on mod‐el), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent.Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dis‐penser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.

Please observe the information given in "Technical data" regard‐ing the capacity of the dishwasher.

Accessories

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts withthis appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu‐facturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept lia‐bility.

Disposal of your old dishwasher

Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot acciden‐tally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the dis‐posal of the appliance.

Caring for the environment

17

Disposal of the packing mate‐rialThe packaging is designed to protectthe appliance from damage duringtransportation. The packaging materialsused are selected from materials whichare environmentally friendly for disposaland should be recycled.

The packaging consists of the followingmaterials:

Outer packaging:

– Corrugated cardboard made from upto 100% recyclable material:or: Polyethylene (PE) shrink wrap

– Polypropylene (PP) strapping

Inner packaging:

– Chlorine and fluorine free expandedpolystyrene (EPS)

– Base, lid frame and support battensmade from untreated natural woodfrom renewable forests

– Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap

Recycling the packaging reduces theuse of raw materials in the manufactur‐ing process and also reduces theamount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appli‐anceElectrical and electronic appliances of‐ten contain valuable materials. They al‐so contain materials which, if handledor disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐tentially hazardous to human health andto the environment. They are, however,essential for the correct functioning ofyour appliance. Please do not thereforedispose of it with your householdwaste.

Please dispose of it at your local com‐munity waste collection / recycling cen‐tre or contact your dealer for advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger tochildren while being stored for disposal.

To enable sorting by type of plastic forrecycling, all plastic parts of the appli‐ance are labelled with internationalstandard symbols.

Caring for the environment

18

Energy saving washingThis dishwasher is exceptionally eco‐nomical in its use of water and electrici‐ty.You can make the most of your appli‐ance by following these tips:

– For most economical dishwashing,make full use of the baskets withoutoverloading the dishwasher.

– Choose the programme to suit thetype of crockery being washed andthe degree of soiling.

– Select the ECO programme (depend‐ing on model) for energy-saving dish‐washing. This programme is the mostefficient in terms of its combined en‐ergy and water consumption atcleaning normally soiled crockery.

– Follow the detergent manufacturer'srecommendations on detergent dos‐age.

– When using powder or liquid deter‐gent you can use 1/3 less detergent ifbaskets are only half full.

– If your household water system issuitable, this dishwasher can be con‐nected to a hot water supply for fur‐ther economies. If the water is heatedby for example, solar panels, thiswould be energy efficient. However, if your water is heated byelectricity we would recommend con‐nection to cold water.

Before using for the first time

19

Opening the doorAt the end of programmes with a dryingphase (see "Programme chart"), thedoor will open automatically a little inorder to help the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if pre‐ferred (see "Programme options,AutoOpen").

To open the door, reach under thedoor grip and pull.

Open the door completely to re-en‐gage the door closing mechanism.

If the door is opened during operationall functions are automatically interrup‐ted.

Water in the dishwasher may behot. Danger of scalding.Only open the door during operationif absolutely necessary and exerciseextreme caution when doing so.

Keep the area around the doorfree of obstructions.

Closing the door Push the baskets right in.

Then raise the door up, and push un‐til it clicks into position.

Danger of injury.Do not put your hand inside the dooras it is closing.

Safety lockUse the safety lock to prevent childrenopening the dishwasher door.

To lock the door, push the slide un‐derneath the door grip to the right.

To unlock the door, push the slide tothe left.

Before using for the first time

20

Water softenerIn order to achieve good cleaning re‐sults, the dishwasher needs to operatewith soft water. Hard water results in abuild-up of calcium deposits on crock‐ery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level high‐er than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - Germanscale) needs to be softened. This takesplace automatically in the integratedwater softener. The water softener inthe dishwasher is suitable for a waterhardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70°d - German scale).

– The water softener requires dish‐washer salt. Depending on the water hardnesslevel (< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - Ger‐man scale), dishwasher salt is not re‐quired if combination tablets are be‐ing used (see "Operation, Deter‐gent").

– The dishwasher must be program‐med to the correct water hardnessfor your area.

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

– Where the water hardness fluctuatese.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 -15 °d - German scale) always pro‐gramme the dishwasher to the highervalue (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °d in this ex‐ample).

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

Enter the water hardness below:

____________mmol/l or °d

The dishwasher is programmed at thefactory for a water hardness level of 2.7mmol/l (15 °d - German scale).

If this setting corresponds to the hard‐ness of your water you do not need todo anything more.

However, if you have a different waterhardness you must adjust the watersoftener to match your water hardness.

Before using for the first time

21

Displaying and setting the waterhardness

Switch the dishwasher off with the button, if it is switched on.

Press the Start button in and whilstholding it in switch the dishwasheron using the button. Keep the Start button pressed in forat least four seconds until the Startindicator light comes on.

If this does not happen, start the proce‐dure from the beginning again.

Press the button twice.

The indicator will flash rapidly twiceat intervals.

The value set for the water hardness isshown as a figure after in the display(see chart).

will start flashing in the display.This is the factory default setting of15°d.

Use the Start button to select the val‐ue which equates to your water hard‐ness level.Each press on the button moves youup a level. When the highest waterhardness level is reached, the settingstarts from the beginning again.

The setting is now stored in memory.

Before using for the first time

23

Before using the appliance forthe first time, you require:– approx. 2 litres of water,

– approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,

– domestic dishwasher detergent,

– rinse aid formulated for domesticdishwashers.

Every dishwasher is tested at the fac‐tory. There will be residual water in theappliance from this test. It is not an in‐dication that it has been used previ‐ously.

Dishwasher saltIn order to achieve good cleaning re‐sults, the dishwasher needs to operatewith soft water. Hard water results in abuild-up of calcium deposits on crock‐ery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level high‐er than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - Germanscale) needs to be softened. This takesplace automatically in the integratedwater softener. The water softener inthe dishwasher is suitable for a waterhardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70°d - German scale).

The water softener requires dishwashersalt. Depending on the water hardness level(< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - German scale),dishwasher salt is not required if combi‐nation tablets are being used (see "Op‐eration, Detergent").

If the water in your area is very softand constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l(5 °d - German scale) you do nothave to add dishwasher salt. Theprompt to add salt will be switched offautomatically.

Dishwasher detergent will dam‐age the water softener.Do not fill the salt reservoir withpowder or liquid detergent.

Only use special coarse graineddishwasher salt for reactivation,as other salts may contain insolubleadditives which can impair the func‐tioning of the water softener.

Before using for the first time

24

Adding salt

Before filling the salt reservoir withdishwasher salt for the first time, youmust fill it with approx. 2 litres of wa‐ter to enable the salt to dissolve.Once the dishwasher has been used,there is always sufficient water in thereservoir.

Remove the lower basket and un‐screw the salt reservoir cap.

Water or saline solution will run outof the reservoir when the cap is re‐moved.It should therefore only be removedin order to refill the salt reservoir.

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

Place the funnel provided over thesalt reservoir and carefully fill withsalt until the reservoir is full. The saltreservoir holds approx. 2 kg of saltdepending on the brand used.

Clean any excess salt from aroundthe reservoir opening and then screwthe cap on again firmly.

Immediately after filling the salt reser‐voir, run the Quick wash programmewith the Short programme option se‐lected and without any crockery inthe dishwasher, to remove any tracesof salt from the cabinet.

Before using for the first time

25

Add salt reminder

Fill the salt reservoir with dishwashersalt when the salt indicator lightcomes on. (If it comes on during aprogramme, wait until the end of theprogramme).

Risk of corrosion. Immediately after filling the salt res‐ervoir, run the Quick wash pro‐gramme with the Short programmeoption selected and without anycrockery in the dishwasher to re‐move any traces of salt from thecabinet.

After the salt reservoir has been filled,the refill indicator may still be lit up ifthe salt concentration has not yetreached the correct level. It will go outwhen the correct concentration isreached.

The refill reminder will not come on ifyou have programmed the dishwasherfor a water hardness below 0.9 mmol/l(5 °d - German scale).

If you only ever use combination prod‐ucts in your dishwasher, you canswitch both refill reminders for saltand rinse aid off if you wish (see "Pro‐gramme options - Refill reminders").

If you switch to using detergent thatdoes not contain salt or rinse aid, itis important to remember to add saltand rinse aid and to switch the re‐minders back on.

Before using for the first time

26

Rinse aidRinse aid is necessary to ensure waterdoes not cling and leave marks oncrockery during the drying phase andhelps crockery dry faster after it hasbeen washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage res‐ervoir and the amount set is dispensedautomatically.

Inadvertently filling the rinse aidreservoir with washing-up liquid orpowder or liquid detergent will dam‐age the reservoir. Only pour rinse aidformulated for domestic dishwashersinto the reservoir.

Alternatively, it is possible to use

– Household vinegar with a max. 5%acid content

or

– Liquid citric acid up to 10% acidcontent

The resulting rinsing and drying qualitywill not, however, be as good as whenrinse aid is used.

Do not use vinegar with a higheracid content (e.g. vinegar essence25% acid).This would damage the dishwasher.

If you only ever use combinationproducts containing rinse aid in yourdishwasher, you do not need to addrinse aid.

Adding rinse aid

Press the button on the lid of therinse aid reservoir in the direction ofthe arrow until the flap springs open.

Before using for the first time

27

Add rinse aid only until it is visible inthe opening.

The rinse aid reservoir holds ap‐prox. 110 ml.

Close the flap firmly so that it clicksinto place. Otherwise water can enterthe rinse aid reservoir during a pro‐gramme.

Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. Thisprevents over-foaming occurring dur‐ing the next programme.

Rinse aid refill reminder

When the Rinse aid indicator lights up,the rinse aid reservoir contains suffi‐cient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes on‐ly.

Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

If you only ever use combination prod‐ucts in your dishwasher, you canswitch both refill reminders for saltand rinse aid off if you wish (see "Pro‐gramme options - Refill reminders").

If you switch to using detergent thatdoes not contain salt or rinse aid, itis important to remember to add saltand rinse aid and to switch the re‐minders back on.

Before using for the first time

28

Setting the rinse aid dosage

You can adjust the rinse aid dosage forbest results.

The rinse aid dosage is set in stagesfrom 0 to 6. It is set to 3 at the factory.This is the recommended setting.

If the "Adjust Sensor wash" programmeoption (depending on model) has beenactivated, the amount of rinse aid dis‐pensed in the Sensor wash programmecan be higher than that set.

If spots appear on crockery and glass‐ware:

Increase the rinse aid dosage.

If clouding or smearing appears oncrockery and glassware:

Decrease the rinse aid dosage.

Switch the dishwasher off with the button, if it is switched on.

Press the Start button in and whilstholding it in switch the dishwasheron using the button. Keep the Start button pressed in forat least four seconds until the Startindicator light comes on.

If this does not happen, start the proce‐dure from the beginning again.

Press the button 3 times.

The indicator will flash rapidly 3times at intervals.

The dosage set will show in the displayafter the symbol.

The flashing sequence will appear inthe display. This indicates the factory default setting3.

Use the Start button to select the set‐ting required.Each press on the button moves youup a level. After reaching the highestvalue the counter starts from the be‐ginning again.

The setting is now stored in memory.

Switch the dishwasher off with the button.

Loading the dishwasher

29

NotesRemove coarse food residues fromcrockery.

There is no need to rinse items underrunning water.

Do not wash items soiled withash, sand, wax, lubricating grease orpaint in the dishwasher. These willdamage to the dishwasher.

Crockery can be loaded anywhere inthe baskets, but the following notesshould be observed:

– Do not place crockery and cutlery in‐side other pieces where they may beconcealed.

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

– Make sure that all items are securelypositioned.

– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,pans, etc. must be inverted in thebasket.

– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.,champagne glasses, should beplaced in the centre of the basket toensure better water coverage.

– Wide based items should be placedat an angle so that water can run offthem freely.

– The spray arms must not be blockedby items which are too tall or hangthrough the baskets. If in doubt, testfor free movement by manually rotat‐ing the spray arms.

– Make sure that small items cannotfall through the holders in the bas‐kets.Small items, e.g. lids, should there‐fore be placed in the cutlery tray orcutlery basket (depending on model).

Some foodstuffs may contain naturaldyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes orketchup. Plastic items in the dish‐washer may discolour if large quanti‐ties of these foodstuffs find their wayinto the dishwasher on the crockery.The stability of plastic items is notaffected by this discolouration.Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish‐washer may also cause plastic itemsto discolour.

Items not suitable for dishwashers:

– Wooden cutlery and crockery oritems with wooden parts: these maydiscolour and fade. The glue used inthese items is not dishwasher-proofand wooden handles may comeloose after being washed in a dish‐washer.

– Craft items, antiques, valuable vasesand decorative glassware: suchitems are not suitable for dishwash‐ers.

– Plastic items which are not heat re‐sistant: the high temperatures in thedishwasher may cause them to meltor lose shape.

– Copper, brass, tin and aluminiumitems: these may discolour or be‐come matt.

– Colours painted over a glaze: thesemay fade after a number of washes.

– Delicate glassware and glasswarecontaining lead crystal: clouding mayoccur over time.

Please note

Silverware previously cleaned with asilver polish may still be damp or spot‐ted at the end of a programme, wherewater has not run off smoothly. It mayneed to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth.

Silver which has been in contact withfoods containing sulphur can discolour.These include egg yolk, onions, mayon‐naise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brineand marinades.

Aluminium components (e.g.cooker hood grease filters) must notbe cleaned with caustic alkalinecommercial or industrial cleaningagents.These may damage the material, orin extreme cases, there is a risk of asevere explosive chemical reaction(such as an explosive oxyhydrogengas reaction).

Tip: When purchasing new crockeryand cutlery, make sure they are dish‐washer-proof.

Glass care

– Clouding may occur on glasses afterfrequent washing. If delicate glass‐ware is washed in the dishwasher en‐sure that only very low temperaturesare used (see programme chart), or aspecial glass-care programme isused (depending on model). This willreduce the risk of clouding.

– Purchase glassware which is dish‐washer safe (e.g. Riedel glassware).

– Use detergents with glass protectiveadditives (e.g. Miele CareCollectiontabs).

Upper basket

See "Loading the dishwasher / Load‐ing examples" for examples of how toload crockery and cutlery.

For safety reasons, do not oper‐ate the dishwasher without the upperand lower baskets in place (exceptwhen running the Tall items pro‐gramme, if available).

Use the upper basket for small, light‐weight and delicate items such ascups, saucers, glasses, dessertbowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes canalso be placed in the upper basket.

Long items such as soup ladles, mix‐ing spoons and long knives shouldbe placed lying down across the frontof the upper basket.

Cup rack

Raise the rack upwards to makeroom for tall items.

Glasses can be arranged along the cuprack for support during the programme.

Lower the cup rack and lean theglasses against it.

32

Adjusting the upper basket

In order to gain more space for tallerpieces of crockery in the lower or upperbasket, the upper basket can be adjus‐ted on three levels with 2 cm betweeneach level.

The upper basket can also be set at anangle with one side high and the otherside low. This can be useful to help pre‐vent water being left in deep dishes etc.Ensure, however, that the basket canbe inserted smoothly into the cabinet. Itis better to adjust the basket beforeloading it.

Pull out the upper basket.

To raise the upper basket:

Lift the basket up until it clicks intoplace.

To lower the upper basket:

Pull upwards on the levers at eitherside of the upper basket.

Adjust the basket to the desiredheight and then push the levers se‐curely back down into position.

Depending on the setting of the upperbasket, the following plate dimensionscan be accommodated.

Detergent

Only use detergents formulatedfor domestic dishwashers. Do notuse washing-up liquid.

Active ingredients

Modern detergents contain various ac‐tive ingredients, the most important ofwhich are:

– Complexing agents to prevent calcifi‐cation.

– Alkalis to aid removal of dried on soil‐ing.

– Enzymes to break down starch andloosen protein.

– Oxygen based bleaching agents toremove coloured stains (e.g. tea, cof‐fee, tomato sauce).

Most dishwasher detergents are mildlyalkaline and contain enzymes and oxy‐gen based bleaching agents.

Types of detergent:

– Powder and liquid gel detergents.These detergents allow you to adjustthe amount dispensed according tothe amount of load and level of soil‐ing.

– Tab detergents. These are suitablefor most levels of soiling.

You can also buy combination products(see "Programme options, Detergent‐Agent", if applicable). In addition to detergent, these productscontain rinse aid and salt substitutes.They are available as "3 in 1" or whenthey also contain other componentssuch as glass and stainless steel pro‐tective additives and enhanced clean‐ing power, as "5 in 1", "7 in 1", "All in 1"etc. Refer to the manufacturer's packagingas to whether combination products aresuitable for the water hardness level inyour area. Please note that the cleaning and dry‐ing results of combination detergentscan vary greatly.

For optimum cleaning and drying re‐sults, use Miele dishwasher detergentand add Miele salt and Miele rinse aidseparately. See "Optional accesso‐ries".

Operation

42

Detergent dosage

Follow the dosage recommended bythe manufacturer on the packaging.

Unless directed otherwise, use onedetergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml de‐tergent to compartment II, dependingon the level of soiling. With veryheavy soiling you can also add asmall amount of detergent to com‐partment l.

Tabs may not dissolve completelywhen the Quick wash programme (ifavailable) is used.

Failure to dispense the recommen‐ded amount of detergent may impaircleaning results.

Dishwasher detergents cancause burning in the nose, mouthand throat if swallowed, or inhibitbreathing.Avoid inhalation of powder deter‐gents and do not ingest dishwasherdetergent. Seek medical attentionimmediately if detergent has beenswallowed or inhaled.Keep detergent out of the reach ofchildren at all times. Keep childrenaway from the dishwasher when thedoor is open. There could still be de‐tergent residues in the cabinet. Onlyadd detergent just before starting theprogramme and close the door, acti‐vating the safety lock (if your dish‐washer is fitted with one).

Operation

43

Adding detergent

Press the opening catch on the de‐tergent dispenser. The flap will springopen.

The flap is always open at the end of aprogramme.

Cleaning and care

62

Check your dishwasher regularly (ap‐prox. every 4 - 6 months). This wayfaults and problems can be avoided.

The external surfaces of thedishwasher are susceptible toscratching.Contact with unsuitable cleaningagents can alter or discolour the ex‐ternal surfaces.

Cleaning the wash cabinetThe wash cabinet is largely self-clean‐ing, provided that the correct amount ofdetergent is always used.

If, however, there are limescale orgrease deposits in the cabinet, thesecan be removed with a special dish‐washer cleaner (see "Optional accesso‐ries"). Follow the instructions on thepackaging.

If you mainly use low temperature pro‐grammes (below 50 °C), there is a riskof bacteria and unpleasant odoursbuilding up in the wash cabinet. To pre‐vent this happening the dishwasher willautomatically increase the temperaturein the final rinse of the selected pro‐gramme after several programmes us‐ing low temperatures have been run.

Clean the filters in the wash cabinetregularly.

Cleaning the door and the doorsealMould could build up on the door sealand the sides of the dishwasher dooras these surfaces are outside the washcabinet and so not accessed andcleaned by the spray arm jets.

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

Wipe off any food or drink residueswhich may have dripped onto thesides of dishwasher door before clos‐ing it.

Cleaning and care

63

Cleaning the door front

Soiling that is left too long mightbecome impossible to remove andcould cause the external surfaces toalter or discolour.Remove any soiling immediately.

Clean the front with a clean spongeand a solution of hot water andwashing-up liquid. After cleaning drywith a soft cloth.A clean, damp microfibre cloth with‐out cleaning agent can also be used.

To avoid damaging the external sur‐faces, do not use:

– cleaning agents containing soda,ammonia, acids or chlorides,

– cleaning agents containing descalingagents,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow‐der cleaners and cream cleaners,

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

– stainless steel cleaning agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

– oven sprays,

– glass cleaning agents,

– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,e.g. pot scourers, brushes or spong‐es which have been previously usedwith abrasive cleaning agents,

– melamine eraser blocks,

– sharp metal scrapers.

– wire wool,

– steam cleaning appliances.

Cleaning and care

64

Checking the filters in thewash cabinetThe filter combination in the base of thewash cabinet retains coarse soil fromthe suds solution, preventing it access‐ing the circulation system and re-enter‐ing the cabinet through the spray arms.

This dishwasher must not beused without all the filters in place.

Collection of coarse soil may cause thefilters to clog. The level of soiling andtime it takes before the filters needcleaning will vary depending on use.

Check the condition of the filters reg‐ularly and clean them if necessary.

Unsatisfactory washing result

Problem Cause and remedy

The dishes are notclean.

The dishes were not loaded correctly. See notes in "Loading the dishwasher".

The programme was not powerful enough. Select a more powerful programme (see "Pro‐

gramme chart").

There is some stubborn soiling although most of thecrockery is only lightly soiled (e.g. with tea stains). Select the "Adjust sensor wash" programme op‐

tion (see "Programme options").

Not enough detergent was dispensed. Use more detergent, or change your detergent.

Items are blocking the path of the spray arms. Rearrange the items so that the spray arms can

rotate freely.

The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinetis not clean or is not correctly fitted. This may cause the spray arm jets to get blocked. Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly. Clean the spray arm jets, if necessary (see "Clean‐

ing and care, Cleaning the spray arms").

The non-return valve is open and blocked. Dirty waterhas flowed back into the wash cabinet. Clean the drain pump and the non-return valve
