national safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property. Please observe the installation sheet and read the operating instructions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using it for the first time. They both contain important information on the installation, safety, use, and maintenance of the machine. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the dishwasher. In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in "Installation" and in "Warning and Safety instructions". Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by noncompliance with these instructions. Keep the installation sheet and the operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner. 7 Warning and Safety instructions Correct application This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts, and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/ shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts. This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use. The dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 4,000 m above sea level. The dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery. Any other use is not permitted. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse. 8 Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance. Older children may only use the dishwasher if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely. They must be able to understand and recognise the possible dangers of misuse. Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult. Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher. Keep small children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the risk of injury. Ensure that they do not play with the appliance. There is a risk that children may look themselves in the dishwasher. If the automatic door opening mechanism is active (depending on the model), keep young children away from the area in which the door opens. There is a danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the opening mechanism. Danger of suffocation! While playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children. Keep detergents and other household cleaning agents out of reach of children. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants and corrosive ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. They can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet or dispenser. Check that the dispenser is empty after the completion of a programme. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any detergent. Contact a Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or the National Poisons Centre (NZ). 9 Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician. Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before using the dishwasher, check it for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher. The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock). Reliable and safe operation of the dishwasher can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply. The dishwasher must only be connected to the electricity supply via a suitable switched socket. The socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time. There must be no electrical sockets concealed behind the dishwasher because the building-in niche may be too small, creating a risk of overheating if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against the plug (fire hazard). The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the dishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be installed next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters etc. 10 Warning and Safety instructions Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher's data plate (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the electricity supply to prevent damage to the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting 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 has been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door springs. The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mechanism is working correctly, as otherwise there could be a danger when the automatic door opening is activated (depending on the model). To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly: - The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45° opening angle). The door must not fall open on its own beyond this point. - The door locking pins retract automatically after the drying phase when the door is opened. Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply using a multi-socket adapter or an extension cord. The dishwasher must not be installed and operated in mobile locations (e.g. on a ship). Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses can break or burst. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point. To avoid any damage to the dishwasher, it must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system. 11 Warning and Safety instructions The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical valve. 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 from water damage, provided the following conditions are met: - Installation has been carried out correctly. - The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced when 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 is switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to the electricity supply. The water connection pressure needs to be between 50 and 1,000 kPa. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and contact Miele customer service. The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by original spare parts. During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher must be disconnected from the electricity supply (switch it off and withdraw the plug from the socket). If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele authorised service technician only in order to avoid a hazard. 12 Warning and Safety instructions This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp (depending on the model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be installed by a Miele authorised technician. In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty. Correct installation The dishwasher must be installed and connected in accordance with 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. Wear protective gloves. The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure trouble-free operation. In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous countertop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry. The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additional safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance in a tall unit, please use the "Tall unit installation kit" and observe the installation plan provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit tipping over. 13 Warning and Safety instructions The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45° opening angle). The door must not fall open on its own beyond this point. The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door springs. If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact Miele customer service. The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the factory fitted door springs is 1012 kg (depending on model). Correct use Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. There is a danger of explosion. Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Do not inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical advice immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Contact a Poisons Information Centre (Australia) or the National Poisons Centre (NZ). Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could injure yourself on the open door or trip over it. Do not sit, stand, or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher. Dishes may be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them. Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. 14 Warning and Safety instructions Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical 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 AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or liquid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos. Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener. Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure evaporated salts for reactivation. Other types of salt (such as cooking salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain insoluble components which can impair the functioning of the water softener. In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles downwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle down 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 not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape. If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary. The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and it may not be fully rinsed out. Please observe the information listed under Technical data regarding the capacity of the dishwasher. 15 Warning and Safety instructions Accessories Only use original Miele accessories. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability. Transport Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults. If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely fasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses, and cables. Disposal of your old dishwasher Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance. 16 Overview Guide to the appliance a Upper spray arm (not visible) b 3D MultiFlex tray c Upper basket d Middle spray arm e Aeration valve f Lower spray arm g Filter combination h Salt reservoir i Data plate j Rinse aid reservoir k Detergent compartment l AutoDos detergent outlet m AutoDos (automatic dispensing) 17 Guide to the appliance Control panel a Programme selection g Express sensor ECO 50 °C = ECO 50 °C Auto = Auto 4565 °C 45 °C = Gentle 45 °C 55 °C = ExtraQuiet 55 °C For reducing the programme duration. h OK sensor For selecting menu options and values displayed. 65 °C = QuickPowerWash 65 °C For confirming messages. 70 °C = Hygiene 70 °C 75 °C = Intensive 75 °C = Further programmes/ Settings b Display For further information, see "Guide to the appliance - Display functions" in the operating instructions.. c IntenseZone sensor Increases cleaning performance in the lower basket. d Start sensor For starting the selected programme. e AutoDos sensor For activating/deactivating AutoDos. f Timer sensor For selecting a later programme start. i sensors For programme selection.

Touch the sensor to switch the dishwasher back on. The OK sensor is used to confirm a message or setting and also to move to the next menu or another level. Under Further programmes/Settings a scroll bar will appear in the right of the display. This offers further options. These options can be viewed using the sensors. You can alter the dishwasher's controls to suit changing requirements in the Settings menu (see "Settings"). The option that is selected will have a tick next to it. To exit a submenu use the Back sensor. If you do not press any sensors for several seconds, the display will revert to the previous menu. You will then have to enter your settings again. These operating instructions apply to several different dishwasher models of different heights. The different dishwasher models will be named as follows: normal = dishwasher measuring 80.5 cm high (built-in appliance) or 84.5 cm high (freestanding appliance) XXL = dishwasher measuring 84.5 cm high (built-in appliance). 19 Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Disposing of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste. Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal. 20 Using for the first time Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the machine from this test. It is not an indication that the dishwasher has been used previously. Opening the door In some programmes the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see "Settings - AutoOpen"). At the end of the programme, if the AutoOpen function is on, the door locking pins automatically retract. To prevent a technical fault, do not hold the door locking pins firmly when they are retracting. If the door is opened during operation, all functions are automatically interrupted. Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle. To open the door, reach under the door grip and pull. Open the door fully to disengage the locking mechanism. Risk of injury due to door opening automatically. The door may open automatically at the end of a programme. Keep the area around the door free of obstructions. 21 Using for the first time Closing the door Push the baskets right in. Raise the door upwards until the catch engages. Risk of crushing due to the door closing. When closing the door, you are at risk of shutting your fingers in it. Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing. Activating the safety lock Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. The door can then only be opened by using a lot of force. To lock the door, push the slide underneath the door grip to the right. To unlock the door, push the slide to the left. 22 Using for the first time Miele@home Your dishwasher is equipped with an integrated Wi-Fi module. To use this feature, you will need: - a Wi-Fi network - the Miele@mobile App - a Miele user account. The user account can be created via the Miele@mobile App. The Miele@mobile App will guide you as you connect your dishwasher to your home Wi-Fi network. Once your dishwasher is connected to your Wi-Fi network, you can use the App to carry out the following tasks: - Control your dishwasher remotely - Call up information on the operating status of your dishwasher - Call up information on the programme sequence of your dishwasher Connecting the dishwasher to your WiFi network will increase energy consumption, even when the dishwasher is switched off. Availability of the Wi-Fi connection The Wi-Fi connection shares a frequency range with other appliances (including microwave ovens and remote control toys). This may result in sporadic or even complete connection failures. Therefore, a constant availability of featured functions cannot be guaranteed. Miele@home availability The ability to use the Miele@mobile App depends on the availability of the Miele@home service in your country. The Miele@home service is not available in every country. For information about availability, please visit www.miele.com. Miele@mobile App You can download the Miele@mobile App from the Apple App Store® or the Google Play StoreTM free of charge (only functional in selected countries). Make sure that your Wi-Fi network signal strength is strong enough at the installation site of your dishwasher. 23 Using for the first time Standard settings Switching on the dishwasher Switch the dishwasher on using the sensor. The welcome screen will appear when the dishwasher is switched on and the welcome melody will sound. For further information about the display functionality, see "Guide to the appliance - Display functions". Setting the language The display will change automatically to the screen for setting the language. Select the language and the country, if applicable, using the sensors, and confirm with OK. For further information on setting the language, see "Settings - Language". A tick will appear next to the language that has been set. Setting up Miele@home The message Set up Miele@home will appear in the display. To set up Miele@home now, confirm by touching OK. Useful tip: To postpone setup until later, select the option Skip and confirm with OK. There are two ways of connecting your dishwasher to your Wi-Fi network: Select the connection method you want and confirm your selection with OK. 1. Connect using App 2. Connect using WPS You will then be guided by the display and the Miele@mobile App. For further information on Miele@home, see "Settings Miele@home". 24 Using for the first time Setting the time of day The time is updated automatically if a connection is established to the Wi-Fi network. The display will then change to the screen for setting the time. The current time of day must be set before you can use the timer option. Use the sensors to enter the hour and confirm your entry with OK. Then set the minutes and confirm with OK. Keeping the relevant or sensor pressed will increase or decrease the time automatically. Setting the water hardness The display will change to the screen for setting the water hardness. - The dishwasher needs to be programmed to the correct water hardness for your area. - Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area. - Where the water hardness fluctuates, e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 15 °dH - German scale), always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °dH in this example). In the event of a fault, it will help the service technician if you know the hardness of your local water supply. Enter the water hardness below: ____________ mmol/l The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 0.36 mmol/l (2 °dH - German scale). Set the water hardness level in your area and confirm with OK. See "Settings - Water hardness" for more information. 25 Using for the first time Activating AutoDos The display changes to the settings screen for AutoDos (see "Detergents Automatic dispensing/AutoDos"). Even if you do not wish to use AutoDos, you must remove the transport locking device from the PowerDisk compartment before running the first programme (see "Detergents - Activating AutoDos"). You can activate AutoDos. If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you can manually dispense the detergent via the detergent compartment (see "Detergents - Manual detergent dispensing"). Select the setting you want and confirm with OK. This setting applies to all programmes and you can change it at any time using the AutoDos sensor. Finally, prompts will appear in the display. After confirming these prompts with OK, 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 will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate sensor will be illuminated. Next, the estimated energy and water consumption may be shown for the selected programme for several seconds. Finally, the display will show the estimated programme duration for the programme selected. 26 Using for the first time Dishwasher salt In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft (low limescale) water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the appliance. Water with a hardness level higher than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.5 mmol/l (70 °dH - German scale). The water softener requires reactivation salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH German scale), dishwasher salt is not required if combination detergents are being used (see "Detergents - Types of detergents"). If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH - German scale) you do not need to add dishwasher salt. The salt refill indicator will automatically switch off after the water hardness has been set accordingly (see "Settings - Water hardness"). Damage to the water softener from detergents. Dishwasher detergents will damage the water softener. Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Damage caused by using unsuitable salts. Other types of salt (such as cooking salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt) may contain insoluble components which can impair the functioning of the water softener. Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure evaporated salts for reactivation. If you only ever use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you can switch off both refill reminders if you wish (see "Settings - Refill reminders"). Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders back on if required. 27 Using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir. Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened. Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the dishwasher load. The salt reservoir should therefore only be opened to replenish the salt. Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2 l of water (first use only). Place the funnel provided on the salt reservoir and carefully fill with dishwasher salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds up to 2 kg of salt, depending on the type of salt used. Clean off salt residues from around the salt reservoir opening. Next, screw the salt reservoir cap on again firmly. Immediately after filling the salt container, run the 65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the Express option and without any load in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet. 28 Replenishing salt When Refill salt appears in the display wait until the end of the programme and then refill the salt reservoir. Confirm with OK. The salt refill indicator will go out. Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the dishwasher load. Each time you have opened the salt reservoir lid, immediately run the 65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the Express option and without any dishes. This will dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet. Using for the first time After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill reminder may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. In this case, confirm with OK again. The salt refill indicator is deactivated if the dishwasher is set to a water hardness below 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH German scale). 29 Using for the first time Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling to and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase, and it helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. Damage caused by washing-up liquid or detergents. Dishwasher detergent will destroy the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill rinse aid designed for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir. Alternatively, you can use liquid citric acid with up to 10% acid content. The dishes will be more moist and stained than with rinse aid. Damage caused by acids. The dishwasher can be damaged by acids with a higher concentration. Never use citric acid or vinegar with a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar essence 25% acid). If you only ever use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you do not need to fill the rinse aid reservoir. However, the best rinsing and drying results will be achieved by using a detergent together with separate dishwasher salt and rinse aid. If you want to permanently use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you can switch off the refill reminders for salt and rinse aid if you wish (see "Settings - Refill reminders"). Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the dishwasher salt and rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders back on if required. 30 Using for the first time Adding rinse aid Lift the yellow catch on the lid of the rinse aid container . The lid will spring open. Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme. You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results (see "Settings - Rinse aid"). Refilling rinse aid When the Refill rinse aid message appears, the reservoir only contains sufficient rinse aid for another 2 - 3 programmes. Add rinse aid in good time. Confirm with OK. The refill rinse aid reminder will go out. Only add rinse aid until the fill level indicator (see arrow) turns dark when the door is open horizontally. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 110 ml. Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme. 31 Caring for the environment Economical dishwashing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can support the economical operation of your appliance by following these tips: - Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing dishes by hand. - Pre-rinsing dishes under running water is not necessary and unnecessarily increases water and energy consumption. - For the most economical dishwashing, make full use of the basket capacity without overloading the dishwasher. This results in the most economical use of the dishwasher in terms of energy and water consumption. - Choose the programme to suit the type of crockery being washed and the degree of soiling (see "Programme chart"). - Select the ECO programme for energy-saving dishwashing. This programme is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption for cleaning dishes with a normal level of soiling. - If you have a hot water connection, choose the SolarSave programme (see "Installation Water intake"). The wash water will not be heated up during this programme. - Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations on detergent dosage. - If you are manually dosing the detergent, reduce the amount of detergent by 1/3 when using powder or liquid detergent if the baskets are only half full. 32 Caring for the environment EcoFeedback consumption display The "Consumption" function is used for calling up information about the energy and water consumption of your dishwasher (see "Settings Consumption (EcoFeedback)"). The following information can be viewed in the display: - An estimate of the consumption before the programme begins - The actual consumption at the end of the programme - The total consumption of the dishwasher to date 1. Consumption estimate After a programme has been selected, first the name of the programme and after a few seconds the estimated energy consumption and water consumption will appear in the display. The estimated consumption will be shown as a bar chart. The more bars are shown ( ), the higher the energy or water consumption. The values are influenced by the programme, any programme options selected, the ambient conditions and the size of the load. The display will change automatically from showing the estimated consumption to showing the time remaining. The estimated consumption function is activated as standard. It can be deactivated, if preferred (see "Settings Consumption (EcoFeedback)"). 2. Displaying consumption At the end of the programme, you can call up the actual energy and water consumption for the programme that has just been run. Confirm the message Consumption (OK) with OK. Switching the dishwasher off at the end of the programme will delete the actual consumption values for the programme that has just been run. 3. Total consumption You can call up the total consumption of energy and water for all programmes you have run on your dishwasher to date (see "Settings - Consumption (EcoFeedback)"). 33 Loading the dishwasher General information Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water. Damage can be caused by ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease, or paint. These substances will contaminate the dishwasher and can then no longer be removed. Do not wash items soiled with these substances in the dishwasher. Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the baskets. However, please try to observe the following notes: - Do not place dishes and utensils inside other items where they will cover one another. - Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that they will get properly cleaned. - Make sure that all items are securely positioned. - Hollow items such as cups, glasses, and saucepans etc. must be inverted in the baskets. - Tall and narrow, hollow items such as champagne glasses should be placed in the centre of the basket rather than in the corners. This ensures the hollow items are more easily accessed by the water jets. - Wide based items should be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely. - The spray arms must not be blocked by items that are too tall or hang through the baskets. Test for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms. - Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the baskets. Small items such as lids should be placed in the 3D MultiFlex tray or in the cutlery basket (depending on model). Some foods such as carrots, tomatoes, or tomato sauce may contain natural dyes. These dyes can discolour plastic items in the dishwasher if large quantities of these foods are in contact with the crockery inside the machine. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration. Washing silverware can also cause plastic items to discolour. 34 Loading the dishwasher Items not suitable for washing in the dishwasher: - Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts. These may discolour and fade. Furthermore, the glue used in these items is not dishwasher safe. Wooden handles may come loose after being washed in the dishwasher. - Craft items, antiques, valuable vases, and decorative glassware. Such items are not suitable for dishwashers. - Plastic items that are not heat resistant. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape. - Copper, brass, tin, and aluminium items. These may discolour or become dull. - Colours painted over a glaze. These may fade after a number of washes. - Delicate glassware and glassware containing lead crystal. Clouding may occur over time. Silverware Silver can discolour when in contact with foods containing sulphur. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine, and marinades. Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may still be damp or spotted at the end of a programme, as water has not run off smoothly. Useful tip: Rub the silverware dry with a cloth. Damage due to caustic alkaline detergents. Aluminium parts (e.g. the grease filters of rangehoods) can be damaged by caustic alkaline detergents. In extreme cases, there is a risk of an explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction). Aluminium components must not be cleaned in the dishwasher with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial detergents. Useful tip: When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe if you want to wash them in the dishwasher. Glass care - Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing in the dishwasher. When washing delicate glassware in the dishwasher, select a special glass care programme with a low temperature (see "Programme chart"). This will reduce the risk of clouding. - Purchase glassware that is dishwasher safe (e.g. Riedel glassware). - Use detergents with glass protective additives. 35 Loading the dishwasher Upper basket See "Loading the dishwasher Loading examples" for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. Loading the upper basket Damage due to leaking water. If you run the dishwasher without the upper basket, water can leak out of the dishwasher. Only run the dishwasher with the upper basket in place (except with the programme Tall items , if available). Loading the FlexCare cup rack You can put cups, small bowls, and flat dishes on the FlexCare cup rack. Glasses can be arranged along the cup rack so they sit securely during the programme. Use the upper basket for small, lightweight, and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket. Long items such as soup ladles and mixing spoons should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket. Fold down the cup rack. Raise the cup rack upwards to make room for tall items. 36 Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the FlexCare cup rack You can set the height and depth of the cup rack at two different levels so that it can accommodate larger cups and so that taller items can be placed underneath it. Loading the silicone elements of the FlexCare cup rack The silicone elements on the cup rack are specially designed to hold tall glasses with long stems securely. Pull the cup rack upwards and click it into the desired position (see arrows). Fold down the cup rack and lean the glasses in the openings. If you wish you can adjust the left insert of the 3D MultiFlex tray to make space for taller glasses (see "Cutlery tray/Cutlery basket Loading the 3D MultiFlex tray"). 37 Loading the dishwasher Lowering the spikes You can fold down every second spike in the two right hand rows of spikes to make it easier to arrange larger pieces of crockery, e.g. cereal bowls. Press the yellow lever downwards and then lower the dark gray spikes . Place the items vertically in the row of spikes. 38 Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket In order to gain more space for taller items, the upper basket can be adjusted on three levels with 2 cm between each level. The upper basket can also be set at an angle so that water can run off freely from recesses. However, make sure that the basket can slide smoothly in and out of the wash cabinet. Pull out the upper basket. To raise the upper basket: Pull the basket up until it clicks into place. To lower the upper basket: Pull upwards on the levers at either side of the upper basket. Adjust the basket to the desired height and then push the levers securely back down into position. When adjusting the upper basket, make sure items in the lower basket do not block the middle spray arm. 39 Loading the dishwasher Lower basket See "Loading the dishwasher Loading examples" for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. Loading the lower basket Place larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, serving bowls etc., in the lower basket. Glasses, cups, small plates and saucers can also be placed in the lower basket. Loading the MultiComfort area The rear section of the lower basket is used for washing cups, glasses, plates, and saucepans. Lowering the spikes The rows of spikes at the front are used for loading plates, soup bowls, platters, dessert bowls and saucers. The spikes can be folded down to make more room for large items such as pots, pans, and serving dishes. Press the yellow lever downwards and then lower the spikes . Place large platters and dishes in the centre of the lower basket. Useful tip: When tilted, plates up to 35 cm in diameter can be accommodated. 40 Loading the dishwasher Loading the FlexCare glass holder with MultiClips The silicone elements in the glass holder provide a stable and secure hold for delicate stemware. Stemware such as wine glasses and champagne flutes can be leaned against the glass holder or suspended from it. The glass holder can be tilted up to make more room for tall items. You can set the glass holder at two different heights. The MultiClips allow you to fasten light items such as plastic parts onto the glass holder. Tilt up the MultiClips. Slide the glass holder to the desired height until the catches click into place at the top or the bottom. Secure light items to the MultiClips. 41 Loading the dishwasher Loading the glassware rail This rail is designed to hold glasses with long stems securely. Lowering the bottle holder The bottle holder can be used to keep narrow items such as milk bottles and baby bottles secure during a programme. Tilt the bottle holder up and push it down until it clicks into place. Fold down the glass rail and lean the glasses against it. If the bottle holder is not needed, lift it up using the yellow lever and fold it to the side . 42 Loading the dishwasher Cutlery tray See "Loading the dishwasher Loading examples" for examples of how to load crockery and cutlery. Load cutlery into the 3D MultiFlex tray. Loading the 3D MultiFlex tray To make unloading easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Spoon heads should be placed to rest on the serrated retainers on the base of the tray to ensure that water runs off them freely. You can push the left insert to the middle in order to accommodate tall items of crockery and long stemmed glasses in the upper basket (see "Upper basket Loading the silicone elements of the FlexCare cup rack"). You can put large and long cutlery in the recessed centre part of the tray. Arrange tall items (such as cake servers) so that they do not block the upper spray arm. You can adjust the height of the righthand insert to create more space in the right-hand part of the tray for larger cutlery items or smaller pieces of crockery. If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, lay them the other way round. Pull the insert inwards by the yellow handle and click it into place in one of the two positions. 43 Loading the dishwasher Loading examples Dishwashers with cutlery tray Upper basket Lower basket 44 Cutlery tray Loading the dishwasher Heavily soiled items 45 Comparison tests Test standard: AS/NZS 2007.1:2005, AS/NZS 2007.2:2005; AS/NZS 6400:2005 Standard programme (for energy label): ECO Capacity: 15 place settings Detergent amount: 33.7 g Rinse aid dosage: Setting 3 You can find information on adjusting the rinse aid dosage in the "Rinse aid" section of this booklet.

Squeeze and remove the bottle holder from the lower basket (if available). 46 Capacity 15 Comparison tests 47 Comparison tests 48 Detergents Types of detergents Damage due to unsuitable detergents. Detergents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the load. Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are: - Water softening complexing agents to prevent calcification. - Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on soiling. - Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein. - Oxygen-based bleaching agents to remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee, tomato sauce). Most dishwasher detergents are mildly alkaline and contain enzymes and oxygen-based bleaching agents. There are different types of detergents: - Powder and liquid gel detergents. These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the size of the load and the level of soiling. - Tablet detergents. These are suitable for most levels of soiling. As well as the usual detergents, combination products are also available. These contain rinse aid and water softener (reactivation salt). Only use these combination detergents for the water hardness levels recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. The cleaning and drying performance of these combination detergents can vary greatly. For optimum cleaning and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add salt and rinse aid separately. 49 Detergents Risk of chemical burns from detergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergent. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep detergents out of reach of children. Detergent residues could still be present in the machine. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Do not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the programme and activate the door safety lock (depending on model). Detergent dispensing There are two ways of dispensing the detergent. During automatic dispensing, the AutoDos function will automatically dispense the required amount of detergent for each programme once a PowerDisk has been inserted (see "Detergents - Automatic dispensing/ AutoDos"). If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you can manually dispense the detergent into the detergent compartment. This means you will have to fill the required amount of detergent into the detergent compartment before each programme (see "Detergents - Manual detergent dispensing"). 50 Detergents Automatic dispensing/AutoDos Before you can use AutoDos, you must insert a PowerDisk containing powder detergent into the PowerDisk compartment. One PowerDisk contains enough detergent for approx. 20 cycles, depending on the selected programme. PowerDisks are available to order directly from the Miele online store or a Miele Experience Centre. Risk of chemical burns from residual detergent. Detergents have a caustic effect. This can cause health problems and damage to surfaces. If the AutoDos is used incorrectly or leaks, residual detergent may drip onto the floor area in front of the dishwasher. Always remove residual detergent from in front of the dishwasher immediately. Activating AutoDos Switch the dishwasher on using the sensor. Before you use AutoDos for the first time, remove the transport lock from the PowerDisk compartment and dispose of it appropriately. Insert a PowerDisk (see "Automatic dispensing/AutoDos - Inserting a PowerDisk"). The AutoDos function will be activated automatically. The message AutoDos activated will appear in the display. This setting applies to all programmes and you can change it at any time using the AutoDos sensor. If no programme is started for 48 hours, the PowerDisk will automatically be rotated so that the detergent does not clump together. If this happens, the message Powder refreshing will appear in the display when the dishwasher is switched on. No detergent is dispensed during this refreshing process. 51 Detergents Inserting a PowerDisk Switch on the dishwasher before you replace the PowerDisk so that the dishwasher recognises it. When the message PowerDisk almost empty appears, the reservoir contains sufficient detergent for another 23 programmes only. Only replace the PowerDisk when the message PowerDisk empty. Deactivate AutoDos with OK. appears. Slide the yellow catch of the AutoDos lid to and open the lid. The message AutoDos lid open will appear in the display. Remove the empty PowerDisk. If the arrows in the PowerDisk holder and in the viewing window are not pointing towards each other, remove the PowerDisk holder (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the AutoDos"). Refit the holder so that the arrows point towards each other and the holder lies flat. When doing this, only hold the PowerDisk holder by the yellow tab in the middle. Do not hold the side tab. Insert the new PowerDisk and press it evenly downwards until it sits flush. 52 Detergents The detergent powder must be dry so that it does not clump together. Do not fill the AutoDos with any type of liquid. In order to ensure that the AutoDos works at its best, check it each time you replace the PowerDisk and clean it if needed (see "Cleaning and care Cleaning the AutoDos"). Close the AutoDos lid and slide the yellow catch until it is aligned with the symbol. If the PowerDisk is not in the correct starting position, it will be rotated automatically and the AutoDos function will be activated. Wait until this process is finished before you start a programme. The AutoDos lid must be closed to prevent damage to the AutoDos. Always close the AutoDos lid before you close the dishwasher door. Otherwise, the AutoDos may be damaged. Programmes cannot start when the AutoDos lid is open. 53 Detergents Manual detergent dispensing Detergent must be manually dispensed if you have deactivated automatic dispensing with the AutoDos sensor. Detergent dispensing The detergent compartment holds a maximum of 50 ml. There are marks in the detergent compartment to aid with dispensing: 20, 30, max. When the door is opened to a horizontal position, they show the approximate fill level in ml and the maximum fill height. Follow the detergent dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. Unless directed otherwise, use one detergent tablet or add 20 to 30 ml of detergent to the detergent compartment, depending on the degree of soiling of the crockery. If you use less than the recommended amount of detergent, the dishes may not get properly clean. Some tablets may not dissolve completely when the programme QuickPowerWash is used. Adding detergent Lift the yellow catch on the lid of the detergent compartment . The lid will slide open. The lid will also be open at the end of the programme. Add the detergent to the detergent compartment. Slide the lid shut until you hear it click into place. 54 Detergents The detergent must not cause the detergent compartment lid to get stuck. This can prevent the lid from opening during the programme sequence. Do not overfill the detergent compartment. Automatic dispensing/AutoDos should be deactivated if detergent is manually dispensed. Ensure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use. This prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together. You can also apply a small amount of detergent to the inner panel of the door in programmes that have a prewash stage (see "Programme chart"). 55 Operation Switching on the dishwasher Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. Close the door. Turn on the tap if it is turned off. Touch the sensor. If the dishwasher has been switched off for longer than 1 minute, you will need to touch the sensor for slightly longer (wipe protection). When a programme is selected, it will appear briefly in the display and the appropriate sensor will be illuminated. Next, the estimated energy and water consumption may be shown for the selected programme for several seconds. Then the display will show the estimated duration for the selected programme. The Start sensor flashes. Selecting a programme Choose your programme according to the type of crockery and the degree of soiling. The different programmes and their use are described in the "Programme chart". Touch the sensor for the required programme. The sensor for the selected programme will light up. Further programmes can be selected under . To do so, touch the sensor. The first of the further programmes will appear in the display. Use the sensors in the display to select the programme you want. You can now select programme options (see "Programme options"). If any programme options are selected, the appropriate sensor will light up. 56 Operation Display of programme duration The estimated duration of the selected programme appears in the display before the programme begins. During the programme, the time left until the end of the programme is displayed. Each programme stage is indicated by a symbol: Pre-wash/Soak Main wash Interim rinse Final rinse Drying Finish The displayed duration may vary for the same programme. It is influenced by, for example, the temperature of the incoming water, the reactivation cycle of the water softener, the detergent type, and the amount of dishes and how soiled they are. When a programme is selected for the first time, the display will show the average programme duration for a cold water connection. The programme durations shown in the "Programme chart" refer to standard test loads and temperatures. Each time a programme is run, the control module calculates the programme duration depending on the temperature of the water taken into the dishwasher and the size of the load. Starting a programme If necessary, confirm the previously displayed message with OK. Touch the Start sensor. The programme will start. The Start sensor lights up. During the programme sequence, you can use OK to display the name of the programme that is currently running. Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle. 57 Operation At the end of the programme The signal tones may sound at the end of the programme. The programme has finished when the display shows the message Finished. In some programmes, if the AutoOpen function is activated, the door will automatically open slightly (see "Settings AutoOpen"). This improves the drying process. If the Consumption programmable function is switched on, you can now call up the actual energy and water consumption of the programme that has just finished (see "Caring for the environment EcoFeedback consumption display"). The drying fan may continue to run for a few minutes at the end of the programme. Risk of damage due to steam. Steam from the dishwasher could damage the edges of delicate worktops when you open the door at the end of the programme if the fan is no longer running. If you have deactivated the automatic door opening function (see "Settings AutoOpen"), but would still like to open the door at the end of the programme, then make sure that you open the door fully. Energy management To save energy, the dishwasher will switch off automatically 10 minutes after the last time a sensor is pressed or after the end of a programme. You can switch the dishwasher back on again with the sensor. If the dishwasher has been switched off for longer than 1 minute, you will need to touch the sensor for slightly longer (wipe protection). The dishwasher will not switch itself off while a programme is running or if there is a fault. 58 Operation Switching off the dishwasher The dishwasher can be switched off at any time using the sensor. Confirm the query Switch appliance off with OK. Switching the dishwasher off during a programme cancels the programme. You can also do this to stop an ongoing timer. If you have touched the sensor, but in fact do not wish to cancel the programme, use the sensor to select the Do not switch off option in the display and confirm with OK. Risk of damage from leaking water. Overflowing water can cause damage. If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, the tap should be turned off. Unloading the dishwasher Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them. The dishes will cool much faster if you open the door when the programme has ended. First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket, and finally the 3D MultiFlex tray. This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and 3D MultiFlex tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket. 59 Operation Interrupting a programme A programme will be interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened. Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot. Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle. Cancelling or changing a programme If a programme is cancelled, important programme stages may be missed. A programme should only be cancelled in the first few minutes of the programme sequence. If a programme has already started and you wish to cancel it, proceed as follows: Switch the dishwasher off with the sensor. Confirm the query Switch appliance off with OK. If you would like to select another programme: Switch the dishwasher back on using the sensor. If you have dispensed detergent manually, check whether the detergent compartment is still closed. If the lid is already open, fill it with detergent again and close the lid. Select the programme you want and start it. 60 Options Timer The timer gives you several options for starting a programme at a later time. You can set the start time or the finish time of a programme. You also have the option of taking advantage of time variable electricity rates using the EcoStart or SmartStart functions. With manual detergent dispensing, the detergent can clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and it may not be fully rinsed out. When using the timer function, make sure that the detergent compartment is dry before adding detergent. Wipe it dry with a cloth first if necessary. Do not use liquid detergents. These can leak out. Danger to health due to detergent. To prevent children coming into contact with dishwasher detergent: Do not fill the detergent dispenser until just before starting the programme, i.e. before you activate the timer. Use the safety lock to secure the dishwasher door. Activating the timer Switch the dishwasher on using the sensor. The Start sensor flashes. Select the required programme. Touch the sensor. The sensor lights up. You can use the sensors to choose between the Start at, Finish at and EcoStart functions, or SmartStart if applicable. Confirm the selected function with OK. The last time set for the timer will be displayed and the hour number block will be highlighted. Enter the required time for the timer using the sensors and confirm with OK. If, while you are setting the time, you do not apply any settings for several seconds, the display will revert to the previous menu. You will then have to enter your settings again. After you have activated the timer, the display and the indicator lights will switch off after a few minutes to save energy. To switch the display back on for a few minutes, press the sensor. You can also activate the timer via the Miele@mobile App. 61 Options Setting "Start at" With the Start at function, you set the exact time at which you want the programme to start.

Use the sensors to enter the minutes and confirm your entry with OK. The saved start time for the selected programme will appear in the display for several minutes. When the set time is reached, the selected programme will start automatically. The time remaining will be shown in the display, the sensor will go out and the Start sensor will light up. Setting "Finish at" Use the Finish at function to set the latest time by which the selected programme has to be finished. Use the sensors to enter the hour and confirm your entry with OK. The hour will be saved and the minute number block will be highlighted. Use the sensors to enter the minutes and confirm your entry with OK. The estimated start time for the selected programme will appear in the display for several minutes. A message will appear in the display if the programme cannot be completed by the set finish time because it has too long a running time. In this case confirm the message with OK. The programme will start automatically when the estimated start time is reached. The time remaining will be shown in the display, the sensor will go out and the Start sensor will light up. 62 Options Setting EcoStart The EcoStart function enables you to benefit from time variable economy electricity rates. Before you can use this option, you need to set up to three electricity rate tariff times (see "Settings - EcoStart"). Then set the time by which the selected programme should be finished. The dishwasher will then start automatically in the most economical electricity rate zone within the time set. Use the sensors to enter the hour and confirm your entry with OK. The hour will be saved and the minute number block will be highlighted. Use the sensors to enter the minutes and confirm your entry with OK. The estimated start time for the selected programme will appear in the display for several minutes. The programme will start automatically when the estimated start time is reached. The time remaining will be shown in the display, the sensor will go out and the Start sensor will light up. Setting SmartStart The SmartStart function (only functional in selected countries) is used for starting your dishwasher automatically at a time when energy costs are most economical. To use this function you may need further technical accessories. If you have activated the SmartStart function in the Settings menu, the Timer menu will no longer show the EcoStart function but will instead show SmartStart (see "Settings - SmartStart"). If your energy provider offers this service, they will send a signal to your dishwasher when energy costs are at their most economical. This signal will start the dishwasher. You can set the time by which the selected programme has to be finished. The dishwasher will then calculate the latest possible start time for the selected programme and will wait until this start time for the signal from the energy provider. 63 Options Set the time by which the selected programme needs to be finished. Use the sensors to enter the hour and confirm your entry with OK. The hour will be saved and the minute number block will be highlighted. Use the sensors to enter the minutes and confirm your entry with OK. The message Waiting for SmartStart will appear in the display. The Start sensor lights up for a few minutes. The selected programme will start automatically as soon as the energy provider has sent the signal or when the latest possible calculated start time has been reached. The time remaining will be shown in the display, the sensor will go out and the Start sensor will light up. Changing or deleting the timer You can change the time set for the timer or delete it. Touch the sensor. Use the sensors to select the previously activated timer function and confirm your entry with OK. Use the sensors to select the Change or Delete function and confirm with OK. After confirming the Change function with OK, you can change the time set for the timer. After confirming the Delete function with OK, the duration of the selected programme will appear in the display. The sensor goes out and the Start sensor flashes. You can now start a programme or switch the dishwasher off. Switching the dishwasher off while a timer is running stops the timer. You can also change the time set for the timer or delete it using the Miele@mobile App. 64 Options Activating Remote control You can start your dishwasher remotely using the Miele@mobile App. To do this, you first need to install the app on your mobile device, connect the dishwasher to your Wi-Fi network (see "Settings Miele@home"), and, if applicable, activate the Remote control option (see "Settings - Remote control"). Switch the dishwasher on using the sensor. Touch the sensor. The sensor will light up. Switch the dishwasher off with the sensor. The dishwasher can now be operated remotely using the Miele@mobile App. The Remote control option will remain activated until you deactivate it again using the sensor. The option will also remain active if you switch the dishwasher off and back on in the meantime.

SolarSave Programme operating without heating when the dishwasher is connected to a hot water supply of at least 45 °C (see "Installation Water intake"). This programme is suitable for cleaning a mixed load with lightly dried on food deposits. Tall items 65 °C Programme for especially large, temperature-resistant items such as very large saucepans. In order to make space for large items in the lower basket, remove the upper basket for washing with this programme. Pasta/Paella Programme with long soak phases for mixed crockery, pots, pans, and nondelicate porcelain. This programme is especially suitable for removing soiling containing starch left by potatoes, pasta and rice. Glasses This programme does not use rinse aid and omits the drying phase. It is particularly suitable for cleaning beer glasses where a good head of froth is needed. Maintenance programme The dishwasher wash cabinet is generally self-cleaning. However, if residues or deposits occur, use the Maintenance prog. programme to clean it. The dishwasher must not be loaded for this programme. This programme is designed for cleaning the wash cabinet using care products (dishwasher cleaner/dishwasher conditioner) (see "Optional accessories - Appliance care"). Follow the instructions on the packaging. When using dishwasher care products, no detergent should be added. For this reason, automatic dispensing (if available) is deactivated for this programme. 70 Programme options Selecting programme options You can use programme options to adjust the programmes. To do this, you can select or deselect the programme options before starting the programme. Switch the dishwasher on using the sensor. The Start sensor flashes. Select a programme as required. Touch the sensor for the programme option you want. The appropriate sensor will light up when the programme option is selected. If the programme option is not compatible with the selected programme, a message to this effect will appear in the display. In this event, confirm the message with OK. Press the Start sensor to start the programme. The selected programme option will remain active for that particular programme until the selection is changed. IntenseZone The IntenseZone programme option increases cleaning performance in the lower basket. Energy consumption increases due to the extended wash duration in the lower basket and increased temperature. Express The Express programme option reduces the programme duration. In order to achieve optimum cleaning results, the temperature, and therefore the energy consumption, will increase with this option. The time by which the programme duration is shortened varies according to the selected programme. Selecting the Express programme option may take precedence over other selected options. When used in combination with the QuickPowerWash programme, the Express programme option results in a rinse designed solely for the purpose of flushing out the wash cabinet to remove salt solution that leaked out after refilling the salt reservoir. 71 Cleaning and care Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 46 months). This way, faults and problems can be avoided. Damage caused by unsuitable cleaning agents. All surfaces of this appliance are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour all surfaces. Only use cleaning agents formulated for use on the relevant surfaces. Cleaning the wash cabinet The wash cabinet is largely selfcleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used. The frequent use of low-temperature wash programmes (< 50 °C) increases the risk of contamination and odours inside the wash cabinet. Run the Intensive 75 °C programme once a month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odours from developing. However, if residues such as limescale or grease have been deposited, use the Maintenance prog. programme to clean the dishwasher (see "Programme chart Further programmes") with dishwasher cleaner (see "Optional accessories Appliance care"). Follow the instructions on the product packaging. Miele cleaning and care products are available to order from a Miele Experience Centre or the Miele online shop. Clean the filters in the wash cabinet regularly. 72 Cleaning and care Cleaning the door and the door seal The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a result, mould can develop here. Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits. Wipe off any food or drink residues which may have dripped onto the sides of the dishwasher door before closing 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 might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour. It is therefore best to remove any soiling immediately. To avoid damaging the external surfaces, do not use the following: - cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides - cleaning agents containing descaling agents - 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, or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents - dirt eraser sponges - sharp metal scrapers - steel wool or metal scourers - steam cleaners Clean the front with a soft sponge and a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid. After cleaning, wipe the front dry using a soft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth (such as the Original Miele all purpose microfibre cloth) without detergent can also be used. 73 Cleaning and care Cleaning the AutoDos You should check that the detergent chute is clean every time you replace the PowerDisk, and clean it if necessary. This helps keep the AutoDos working properly. In order to ensure that the AutoDos works at its best, check it each time you replace the PowerDisk and clean it if needed. Slide the yellow catch of the AutoDos lid to and open the lid. Remove the PowerDisk if applicable. Pull the PowerDisk holder upwards by the yellow tabs and remove it. When doing so, do not pull on the side tab. 1 PowerDisk holder 2 Detergent chute for dispensing the detergent from the PowerDisk into the wash cabinet Use the tab (see arrow) to release the detergent chute and pull it out . 74 Cleaning and care Clean the detergent chute with water and a soft brush if necessary. It is very important that no moisture gets inside the AutoDos system during cleaning. Dry the detergent chute well so that the detergent powder does not clump together. Insert the detergent chute until the tab clicks into place. The AutoDos lid must close tightly so that the detergent powder does not get wet and clump together. Make sure that all seals are clean. Insert a PowerDisk. Close the AutoDos lid and slide the yellow catch until it is aligned with the symbol (see "Detergents Inserting a PowerDisk"). Regularly check the lower spray arm for any blockages to ensure that the detergent outlet of the AutoDos can be fully flushed out (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the spray arms"). Put the holder back into place so that the arrows in the PowerDisk holder and in the viewing window point towards each other. The holder must lie flat. 75 Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected regularly (approx. every 24 months). Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. Without filters, soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage. Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters fitted. When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system. Switch the dishwasher off. Rotate the screw thread of the middle spray arm clockwise (see diagram) and remove the spray arm . Removing the lower spray arm Remove the lower basket. Removing the upper and middle spray arms Take out the 3D MultiFlex tray. Push the upper spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm by rotating the screw thread anti-clockwise (overhead perspective). Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm anti-clockwise and pull the spray arm upwards to remove . 76 Cleaning the spray arms Cleaning and care Refitting the spray arms Refit the upper and middle spray arms. Refit the lower spray arm and ensure that the filter combination lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Use a pointed object to push food particles stuck in the jets into the spray arm. Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under running water. Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol . Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter combination. Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage. Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters fitted. 77 Cleaning and care Checking the filters in the wash cabinet The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soiling from the suds solution. This prevents soiling getting into the circulation system and re-entering the wash cabinet through the spray arms. Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. Without filters, soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage. Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters fitted. When cleaning the filters and spray arms, make sure that coarse soiling cannot get into the circulation system. Cleaning the filters Switch the dishwasher off. Remove the lower spray arm (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the spray arms"). Before removing the filter combination, remove any coarse soiling to prevent it from entering the circulation system. The filters can become clogged by soiling that collects over time. The level of soiling and the time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use. The message Check filters will appear in the display after every 50 programme sequences. Check the filter combination. Clean the filter combination if necessary. Then confirm the message with OK. Remove the filter combination. 78 Cleaning and care In order to clean the inside of the filter, pull the microfilter downwards and away from the filter combination. Rinse all the parts under running water. If necessary, use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling. Push the microfilter back onto the filter combination. Refit the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Refit the lower spray arm to the filter combination using the screw thread. Rotate the screw thread clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol . Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter combination. Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage. Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters fitted. 79 Cleaning and care Cleaning the water inlet filter A filter is incorporated in the screw thread to protect the water inlet valve. If the filter is soiled, insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet. Risk of electric shock. The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical valve. The housing must not be dipped in water. Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply. To do this, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Turn off the tap. Unscrew the water inlet valve. Carefully remove the seal from the threaded union. Using combination or pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar and remove the filter. Rinse the filter under running water. Reassemble in reverse order. Screw the threaded union securely back onto the tap. Slowly turn on the tap. If water drips out, tighten the connection. Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning. 80 Cleaning and care Cleaning the drain pump If water remains in the wash cabinet after the end of a programme, the water has not been pumped away. The drain pump may be blocked by foreign objects. These foreign objects are easy to remove. Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply. To do this, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the filters"). Scoop the water out of the wash cabinet using a suitable container or utensil. Press the catch of the drain pump cover inwards . Tip the cover inwards until it is released . Rinse the cover thoroughly under running water and remove all foreign objects. 81 Cleaning and care Damage caused by incorrect cleaning. The components are delicate and can be damaged during cleaning. Take care when cleaning the drain pump. The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover. Risk of injury from glass splinters. It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump. Take care when cleaning the drain pump. Carefully remove all foreign objects from the drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller. Refit the cover in the reverse order of removing it. Ensure that the catch engages correctly. 82 Problem solving guide With the help of the following guide, minor faults in the performance of the appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied without contacting Miele.

Remove any kinks from the drain hose. 91 Problem solving guide Noises Problem Knocking noise in the wash cabinet. Rattling noise in the wash cabinet. Knocking noise in the water pipes Possible cause and remedy A spray arm is knocking against a crockery piece. Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash items that are obstructing the spray arm. Items of crockery are not secure in the wash cabinet. Carefully open the door and rearrange the wash items so that they sit securely. There is a foreign object (e.g. glass shard) in the drain pump. Remove the foreign object from the drain pump (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the drain pump"). This may be caused by the on-site installation or the cross-section of the piping. However, this will not affect the functioning of the dishwasher in any way. If in doubt, contact a suitably qualified plumber. 92 Problem solving guide Unsatisfactory cleaning result Problem The dishes are not clean. There are smears on glassware and cutlery. There is a bluish sheen on the surface of glassware. The film can be wiped off. Possible cause and remedy The items were not loaded correctly. See notes under "Loading the dishwasher". The programme was not thorough enough. Select a more intensive programme (see "Programme chart"). Not enough detergent was dispensed during manual detergent dispensing. Use more detergent, or change your detergent. Items are blocking the path of the spray arms. Carry out a rotation check and if needed rearrange the items so that the spray arms can rotate freely. The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet is not clean or not correctly fitted. This may have caused the spray arm jets to become blocked. Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly. Clean the spray arm jets if necessary (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the spray arms"). The rinse aid dosage is set too high. Reduce the dosage (see "Settings - Rinse aid"). 93 Problem solving guide Problem Dishes are not dry or cutlery and glasses are blotchy. Glassware has a brown or blue tinge. The film cannot be wiped off. Glassware is dull and discoloured. The film cannot be wiped off. Tea or lipstick stains have not been completely removed. Plastic items are discoloured. Possible cause and remedy The amount of rinse aid may be insufficient, or the rinse aid reservoir is empty. Replenish the rinse aid, increase the dosage, or change the brand of rinse aid (see "Using for the first time - Rinse aid"). Dishes were taken out of the wash cabinet too soon. Leave dishes in longer (see "Operation - Unloading the dishwasher"). The duration of the drying phase of the selected programme is not sufficient for the dishes. Select the Extra dry function (see "Settings - Extra dry"). You have used combination products that have insufficient drying performance. Switch to another detergent or add rinse aid (see "Using for the first time - Rinse aid"). Ingredients from the detergent have formed a deposit. Switch to another detergent straight away. The glassware is not dishwasher safe. The surface has altered. There is no remedy. Purchase glassware which is dishwasher safe. The wash temperature of the selected programme was too low. Select a programme with a higher wash temperature. The bleaching effect of the detergent is too low. Change your detergent. Natural dyes, e.g. from carrots, tomatoes or tomato sauce may be the cause. The amount of detergent used or its bleaching effect was not sufficient to deal with natural dyes. Use more detergent (see "Detergents"). Parts that are already discoloured will not revert to their original colour. 94 Problem solving guide Problem White residue is visible on the dishware. Clouding has occurred on glassware and cutlery. The film can be wiped off. There are rust stains on cutlery. Possible cause and remedy Not enough rinse aid was added. Increase the dosage (see "Settings Rinse aid"). The salt reservoir is empty. Fill the salt reservoir (see "Using for the first time - Dishwasher salt"). The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on correctly. Replace it, making sure that it screws back on correctly. Unsuitable combination detergents were used. Change your detergent. If using tablets or powder detergent, do not choose combination products and ensure you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid. The water softener is programmed to a setting which is too low for the water hardness level. Programme the water softener to a higher water hardness level (see "Settings - Water hardness"). The affected items are not corrosion resistant. There is no remedy. Purchase cutlery which is dishwasher safe. A programme was not run after dishwasher salt was added. Traces of salt have gotten into the normal wash cycle. Always run the 65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the Express option selected and without any load in the dishwasher immediately after adding dishwasher salt. The salt reservoir cap has not been screwed on correctly. Replace it, making sure that it screws back on correctly. 95 Service Contact in case of fault In the event of any faults which you cannot remedy yourself, please contact Miele.

Water intake Danger to health due to rinsing water. Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water. Do not drink any water from the dishwasher. Health risk and risk of damage due to contaminated mains water. The quality of the water used must correspond to the drinking water specification of the country in which the dishwasher is being operated. Connect the dishwasher to a drinking water supply. The dishwasher may be connected to cold or hot water (up to max. 60 °C). If energy-saving water heating sources, such as a solar water heating system, are used, we recommend connecting to the hot water. This saves both time and electricity costs. Hot water is used in all programmes. The SolarSave programme (if available) requires a hot water connection of between a minimum of 45 °C and a maximum of 60 °C (inlet temperature). The higher the water intake temperature, the better the cleaning and drying results. The intake hose is approx. 1.5 m long. 99 *INSTALLATION* Installation A tap with a ¾" male thread must be provided on site. If this type of tap is not available, only a qualified plumber may connect the dishwasher to the household water supply. Back flow prevention is integrated in the appliance. The appliance must be installed according to AS/NZS 3500.1. The water connection pressure needs to be between 50 and 1,000 kPa. If the water pressure is lower than this, the fault message Water intake will appear in the display (see "Problem solving guide - Water intake fault"). If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted. Risk of damage from leaking water. The threaded union is subject to water pressure. Water leaking from it can cause damage. Turn on the tap slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the seal and union if necessary. Risk of damage due to excessive pressure. A brief increase in the water pressure can damage components of the dishwasher. This dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system. Risk of electric shock. There are electrical components in the water inlet hose. The inlet hose must not be shortened or damaged in any way (see illustration). 100 *INSTALLATION* Installation Drainage The appliance drainage system is fitted with a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose. The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm. The hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4 m and the delivery head no higher than 1 m. If the hose is to be directly connected to the drainage outlet on site, use the supplied hose clip (see the installation plan). The hose can be directed to the left or the right of the appliance. The on-site connector for the drain hose can be adapted to different hose diameters. If the connector extends too far into the drain hose, it must be shortened. Otherwise, the drain hose can become clogged. The drain hose must not be shortened. Lay the drain hose so that it does not kink and is not being subjected to pressure or being tugged. Risk of damage from leaking water. Overflowing water can cause damage. After using the appliance for the first time, make sure that the water drain does not leak. 101 *INSTALLATION* Installation Venting the water drainage If the on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide for the rollers of the lower basket in the door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise, a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the appliance to empty itself of water. Open the dishwasher door fully. Remove the lower basket. Insert a screwdriver into the middle opening of the vent valve in the left wash cabinet wall . Press the screwdriver further into the opening and push it through the membrane behind. The vent opening for the water drain is now open. 102 *INSTALLATION* Installation Electrical connection The dishwasher is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to an earthed socket. Danger of suffocation due to gases. Connecting the dishwasher to a multi-socket plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable. This can cause a fire, releasing toxic gases. Do not use an extension lead or multi-socket plug adapter. Risk of fire from overheating. Connecting the dishwasher to a multi-socket plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable. Do not use an extension lead or multi-socket plug adapter. The socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher has been installed. If the switch is not accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. If the connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific connection cable of the same type (available from Miele) in order to avoid a hazard. For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent technician or by Miele. Do not connect the dishwasher to a stand-alone inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source (e.g. solar power). When the appliance is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. This could damage the electronics. The dishwasher must not be used with so-called energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the appliance, causing it to overheat. Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage, frequency, and fuse rating) match the mains electricity supply and that the installed socket system matches that of the dishwasher. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. For technical data see the data plate located on the right side of the door. The electrical installation and all electrical work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. For extra safety, it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after the installation has been completed. Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket. 103 Technical data Technical data Dishwasher model Height of freestanding appliance Height of built-in appliance Niche height Width Niche width Depth of freestanding appliance Depth of built-in appliance Weight Voltage Rated load Fuse rating Test certifications awarded Water pressure Hot water connection Delivery head Drainage length Mains cable Capacity * depending on model Normal XXL 84.5 cm - (adjustable by +3.5 cm) 80.5 cm (adjustable by +6.5 cm) 84.5 cm (adjustable by +6.5 cm) min. 80.5 cm (+6.5 cm) min. 84.5 cm (+6.5 cm) 59.8 cm 59.8 cm 60 cm 60 cm 60 cm - 57 cm max. 58 kg 501000 kPa 57 cm max. 49 kg see data plate see data plate see data plate see data plate 501000 kPa up to max. 60 °C max. 1 m max. 4 m approx. 1.7 m 14/15 place settings* up to max. 60 °C max. 1 m max. 4 m approx. 1.7 m 14/15 place settings* 104 Technical data Dishwasher model Power consumption when switched off Power consumption when not switched off Networked standby Frequency band of the Wi-Fi module Maximum transmission power of the Wi-Fi module Normal 0.4 W 5.0 W 0.9 W XXL 0.4 W 5.0 W 0.9 W 24000 GHz 24835 GHz < 100 mW 105 Settings You can alter the dishwasher's controls to suit changing requirements by adjusting the settings.
