IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

When using your dish-

washer, follow all basic

safety precautions.

This appliance conforms to

all uniform safety codes and

regulations. To avoid injury

and machine damage, read

the operating instructions

carefully before using the

dishwasher.

The manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for damage or injury

caused by improper use or for

uses other than those for which

the appliance is intended.

This dishwasher is intended exclu-

sively for cleaning domestic croc-

kery and cutlery in a domestic house-

hold. Do not use for purposes other

than those for which it was designed.

Any other applications may be dan-

gerous.

Repairs should only be carried out

by qualified personnel. Disconnect

the appliance from the power supply

before servicing (pull out the plug or

turn off the circuit breaker).

Only install the dishwasher under a

continuous countertop which is se-

cured to adjacent cabinetry.

The dishwasher must be electri-

cally grounded. Install the dish-

washer as per the included Installation

instructions.

Use only detergents and rinse aids

recommended for dishwashers.

Do not use commercial or industrial

grade detergents, as these may

cause adverse chemical reactions and

damage the machine. Use detergents

made for residential dishwashers only.

Do not use your dishwasher unless

all enclosure panels are properly in

place.

Do not let small children play with

the dishwasher and its controls or

operate it.

There is a danger that children playing

might shut themselves in the dish-

washer. Please supervise its use by the

elderly or infirm.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

6

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Keep all detergents and rinse aids

out of the reach of children.

Dishwasher detergents contain So-

dium Silicate and Sodium Carbo-

nate. In case of eye contact, immediate-

ly flush with water. Call a physician or

poison control.

Do not tamper with the

controls.

Do not drink the water from the

wash cabinet.

When loading items to be

washed:

– Locate pointed items so that they are

not likely to damage the door seal.

– Load knives with the cutting edge

down to reduce the risk of injuries.

Do not wash plastic items unless

they are labeled “dishwasher safe”

or the equivalent. For items not labeled,

check the manufacturer’s recommenda-

tions.

Do not abuse, sit, or stand on the

door or dishracks of the dish-

washer.

Remove the front door and cut off

the power cord of the dishwasher

before removing it from service or dis-

carding it. This will help protect child-

ren from injury and accidentally locking

themselves in.

Under certain conditions, hy-

drogen gas may be produced in a

hot water system that has not been

used for two weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the

hot water system has not been used for

such a period, turn on all hot water

faucets and let the water flow from

each for several minutes before using

the dishwasher. This will release any ac-

cumulated hydrogen gas. Do not

smoke or use an open flame during this

time.

For safety reasons do not operate

this appliance on an extension

cable. Danger of overheating.

A damaged appliance is dan-

gerous. Switch off the mains and

call the Service Departement for assist-

ance.

Dishwashers with heating element

Do not touch the heating element

during or immediately after use.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material.

The packaging material protects the ap-

pliance during shipping. It has been de-

liberately designed to be biodetergrad-

able and recyclable. Please dispose of

these materials as you would any other

recyclable products.

Disposal of your old machine.

Old machines contain materials which

can be recycled. Please contact your

local recycling center or scrap mer-

chant about the possibility of recycling

these materials and make certain the

machine has been made child resistant

as outlined in the “Important safety in-

stuctions”, before disposing of the ap-

pliance.

Energy saving washing.

These dishwashers are exceptionally ef-

ficient in their use of water and elec-

tricity. You can make the most of your

appliance by following these tips:

Make full use of the baskets without

overloading the dishwasher for the

most economical washing.

For small loads:

Select the “Top Solo” function (see

“Additional features” chapter).

Choose a programme that best suits

the degree of soiling and the type of

dishes being washed.

If baskets are only half full, use the

ECONOMY programme.

Use the correct amounts of deter-

gent and rinse aid.

Caring for the environment

Before using for the first time

Before using for the first time please

note the following points:

Setting the water softener.

The water softener must be set to corre-

spond to the water hardness in your

area. This can be obtained from your

local water company, or by using a test

kit that can be purchased from the Miele

Parts Department (part no. 0014619).

The salt reservoir must only be filled

with water and salt. Never fill it with

detergent.

Adding rinse aid.

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid

reservoir with liquid or powder deter-

gent will damage the reservoir.

Only use detergents and rinse aids for-

mulated for domestic dishwashers.

Add the correct amount of detergent.

Follow the recommendations on page

26 to determine how much detergent to

use. Not enough or too much detergent

can lead to poor wash results.

Overdosing, in combination with soft

water and high water temperatures,

can lead to cloudy glassware.

Cleaning results vary from brand to

brand. If you are not satisfied with the

results from one brand, try another

quality brand before contacting the

Miele Service Department for advice.

It is important to choose the correct

programme.

Different wash programmes should be

selected for different loads and differ-

ent degrees of soiling. See the pro-

gramme chart for further programme

descriptions.

When the dishwasher is run for the

first time, the selected programme

will not start for approximately 7

minutes.

During these 7 minutes, the Water

softener reactivation programme is

run, and the 8 k indicator lamp

will be on.

Load the dishes correctly.

Load the dishes so that water can con-

tact all surfaces. Ensure that the spray

arms are not blocked by items which

are too tall for the basket or which ex-

tend through the bottom of the basket.

If necessary, manually rotate the spray

arms to test for clearance.

The combination filter in the base of

the wash cabinet and the spray arms

must be kept clean.

The spray arms and the filters should

be periodically checked and cleaned if

necessary.

See the corresponding chapters for de-

tailed information on the above points.

Before using for the first time

Water Softener

If the water hardness in your area

is under 150 ppm (mg/l) you

should not activate the built-in

water softener with salt. This

could lead to problems including

cloudy glassware.

The water hardness in your area can

be obtained from your local water

company or by using a test kit that

can be purchased from the Miele

Parts Department (part no. 0014619).

If your water hardness is above

150 ppm (mg/l), the water should

be softened to avoid the build up of

calcium deposits on dishes, cutlery

and in the dishwasher.

The dishwasher is factory set for a hard-

ness level of 20 - 70 ppm (mg/l). If your

water is harder or softer, the setting will

need to be adjusted.

To ensure a steady supply of soft-

ened water, the built in water sof-

tener must be:

1. Correctly set.

2. Reactivated with salt when depleted.

Where the water hardness fluctuates

(e.g. 140 - 310 ppm (mg/l)) always set

the machine to the lower value

(140 ppm (mg/l) in this example).

Programming the water hard-

ness

The Programme touch pads are used

to set the water hardness. Each pad

can be used alone (level 1) or in combi-

nation with the “Top Solo”pad (level 2)

to programme the hardness to the

valve determined using the Programm-

ing Table on the previous page.

For example, to set a level 1 value

(from 20 - 220 ppm (mg/l)), only a num-

bered Touch pad will have to be

pressed.

To programme a level 2 value (from 230

- 1260 ppm (mg/l)), both the “Top Solo”

pad and a numbered Touch pad will

have to pressed.

The “8 k” indicator lamp will flash

as long as you are in the programming

mode.

Water Softener

12

To programme the water hardness,

proceed as follows:

Open the door.

Turn off the dishwasher.

Press and hold buttons b and d

while simultaneously turning on the

dishwasher. The “ON” indicator lamp

will light and the “8 k”and c

lamps will flash.

The “8 k” indicator lamp will

flash as long as you are in the pro-

gramming mode.

If any other indicator lamps flash, turn

off the dishwasher and start again.

Depending upon what “Additional Fea-

tures” are currently programmed into

your machine, other indicator lamps

may also illuminate. These should be ig-

nored for the time being.

Press Touch pad c to enter the data

entry mode. The c indicator lamp will

stop flashing and go out. (Exception: if

a hardness level of 90 -110 ppm

(mg/l) has been set previously , the c

indicator lamp will stop flashing and re-

main lit).

A)If your Water hardness is 220 ppm

(mg/l) or less, press the touch pad

that corresponds to the level you

want to set (see the Programming

Table on the previous page). As long

as the selected pad is depressed, its

indicator lamp will remain lit. When

the touch pad is released, the c

lamp will once again flash.

OR

B)If your Water hardness is greater than

220 ppm (mg/l), press 2 to access

programme level 2 first (its indicator

will light), then press the required

numeric touch pad. Once the numeric

pad is released, the c will once again

flash.

Example:

If the water hardness is 450 ppm (mg/l),

press 2 first, then press the e touch

pad. When e is released, the c indica-

tor will flash.

Press 2 once to enter the setting; its

indicator will light up.

Press 2 once more to store the set-

ting in memory. The 2 indicator will

flash if the value has been stored cor-

rectly.

Turn off the dishwasher. The water

hardness is now programmed.

Water Softener

13

To check the programmed

water hardness:

Open the door.

Turn off the dishwasher.

Press and hold buttons b and d

while simultaneously turning on the

dishwasher. The “ON” indicator lamp

will light and the “8 k” and c

lamps will flash.

If any other indicator lamps flash, turn

off the dishwasher and start again.

Depending upon what “Additional Fea-

tures” are currently programmed into

your machine, other indicator lamps

may also illuminate. These should be ig-

nored for the time being.

Press Touch pad c to check the

water softener setting currrenty stored.

If a water hardness between 20 and

220 ppm (mg/l) is stored, the indica-

tor lamp next to the corresponding

touch pad will illuminate (see the Pro-

gramming Table). If no lamp lights

up, a hardness level greater than

220 ppm (mg/l) was set. In this case:

Press the 2 button. The indicator

lamp that corresponds to the stored

hardness level will illuminate.

Turn off the dishwasher.

Filling the salt reservoir.

The salt reservoir should be filled be-

fore the first use and whenever the

“8 k” indicator lamp lights up. Use

water softener reactivation salt

(1 - 4mm grain size), as other salts may

contain insoluble additives which can

impair the functioning of the softener

and settle on glassware.

We recommend “Somat” salt (2kg) avail-

able from Miele (article no. 21997603).

The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg

(4 lbs) of salt.

Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir

with dishwashing detergent will

damage the water softener. Make

sure that only water softener reacti-

vation salt of the proper grain size is

used

Remove the lower basket.

Unscrew and remove the salt reser-

voir cap.

Before filling the salt reservoir for

the first time:

Fill the salt reservoir with approxi-

mately 2 litres (2 qts) of water.

Place the funnel (provided) over the

salt reservoir.

Carefully fill with salt. As it is filled,

water will run out .

Clean any excess salt from the

threads of the reservoir opening.

Screw the cap on firmly.

Run the UNIVERSAL programme im-

mediately to remove any traces of

salt from the cabinet.

Salt indicator.

When the salt reservoir is empty, the

“8 k” indicator lamp will light, notif-

ying you that the reservoir should be re-

filled with reactivation salt.

Once filled, the dishwasher will automati-

cally reactivate the softener when

necessary. The “8 k” indicator lamp

will light up whenever the reactivation

process is being performed.

Note:

If the water used is very soft (below 150

ppm (mg/l)), further softening is not re-

quired and the “8 k” indicator

lamp will remain lit. It can be disre-

garded or bypassed using the follow-

ing procedure.

The “8 k” button has also been de-

signed for future programme updates

(PC). See the “After Sales Service” sec-

tion for further details.

Bypassing the Salt indicator lamp.

In order to bypass the salt indicator

lamp, you will need a screwdriver and

needle nose pliers.

Remove ONLY the salt reservoir cap.

Looking into the salt reservoir, you will

see the top of the float chamber on the

right hand side b.

Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot

the float chamber towards the center

of the reservoir.

Using the needle nose pliers, first

pull the cap c off of the float cham-

ber, then remove the float d.

Replace the float chamber cap,

push the chamber back into its up-

right position, and replace the salt

reservoir cap. The indicator lamp will

now remain off.

Adding rinse aid

The use of Rinse Aid (for example,

Jet-Dry®) is recommended to prevent

spotting on dishes and glassware that

normally occurs during the drying

phase of automatic dishwashing, as

well as to aid the drying result.

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid

reservoir with detergent always

leads to damage to the reservoir.

Only pour rinse aid formulated for

residential dishwashers into the

reservoir.

Adding rinse aid.

Add Rinse Aid before the first use

and anytime the H indicator lamp

comes on.

Press the button in the direction of

the arrow until the flap springs open.

Adding rinse aid

18

Pour liquid rinse aid into the storage

container until it is visible on the sur-

face of the screen. Do not add any

more rinse aid until the H indicator

lamp comes on.

Only use rinse aid specifically

labeled for residential dishwashers.

Inadvertently using powder or liquid

detergents will damage the rinse

aid dispenser.

Close the flap firmly. The flap must

audibly engage, otherwise water

could get into the rinse aid storage

container during the programme.

Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This

prevents over-foaming occuring

during the next programme.

The flap should remain closed during

normal operation.

Setting the dosage.

The dosage selector comes factory set

to 3. The setting dispenses approxi-

mately 3 ml rinse aid per programme. It

can be adjusted from 1 to 6, depend-

ing on your requirements. It is best to

use the lowest setting that will still give

good results for your water supply.

If spots appear on dry glassware,

use a higher setting.

If streaking appears on dishes or

glasses, use a lower setting.

Adding rinse aid

19

Loading the dishwasher

Scrape food and other solid waste

such as bones and pits from dishes,

but do not rinse.

Load the dishes so that water can

reach all surfaces.

Do not place dishes and cutlery in-

side other pieces where they may be

concealed.

Hollow items such as cups and

glasses should be inverted and

placed in the upper basket.

Concave based items should be

placed at an angle so that water can

run off them freely, or placed on top

of the coffee bar (see page 23).

Tall, narrow, hollow pieces should be

placed in the center of the basket,

rather than in the corners, to ensure

water coverage.

Small cups and glasses should be

placed on the cup racks. Taller mugs

and glasses can be placed under-

neath the rack.

The spray arms must not be blocked

by items which are too tall or hang

through the baskets. If in doubt, test

for free movement by manually rotat-

ing the spray arms.

Some food items may contain natural

dyes that can discolor plastic items

in the dishwasher ( e.g. carrots, to-

matoes, ketchup, etc.). The stability

of plastic items is not affected by this

discoloration. It will gradually disap-

pear over time.

Some loading examples are shown on

the following pages.

Note

If the additional feature “Top Solo” has

been selected with a wash programme,

all items must be loaded into the upper

basket and cutlery tray. See the “Addi-

tional features” section for further infor-

mation.

Do not touch the heating element

during or directly after the end of a

programme as it may still be hot.

In areas where the water has high

mineral content, it may be necess-

ary to polish silverware after wash-

ing to achive a high shine.

Loading the dishwasher

20

Loading examples.

Upper basket.

For small, lightweight, or delicate items

such as cups, saucers, glasses, des-

sert bowls, etc. and also heat sensitive

plastic ware.

Bottom basket.

For larger and heavier items such as

plates, serving platters and saucepans.

Glasses should only be placed in the

bottom basket if the special glassware

insert is used.

The plate inserts on the left and right

rear of the lower basket are removable.

To remove, push the handles of both in-

serts toward the inside of the basket.

Once removed, the open area can ac-

commodate large pots, casserole

dishes, or accessory inserts (see “Ac-

cessories”).

Height limit

The height guard at the base of the

upper basket is there to protect the

middle spray arm. No object placed in

the lower basket should stand higher

than this guard.

Loading the dishwasher

21

Cutlery tray.

To make unloading easier, cutlery can

be grouped in zones, one for knives,

one for forks, etc.

Larger items like sauce ladles, cake

slices, long knives and mixing spoons

can be placed lengthwise in the trough

in the centre of the tray.

Make sure the upper spray arm can

rotate freely after sliding in the cut-

lery tray. Rearrange any items that

are in its way.

The cutlery tray insert is removable (de-

pending on model).

Ensure that spoon heads are in contact

with at least one of the grips in the cut-

lery tray. This way they cannot collect

water.

Cutlery with round or oval handles

should be placed with the heads in the

grips as this prevents item slipping.

If putting the spoons this way round,

make sure the spoon heads touch at

least one of the strips on the floor of the

tray, so that the water still runs off.

Loading the dishwasher

22

Coffee bar.

Place coffee mugs on top of the bar so

that they sit at a slant. This allows all

water to run off the base of the mug.

The bar can also be used as a seper-

ator between two rows of glasses keep-

ing them from leaning against each

other. This protects the glasses and en-

sures good wash results. For wide

items, flip the bar over to the right.

Adjustable cup racks.

To make room for tall glasses, raise the

rack upwards. Lower it to double stack

smaller items.

Insert for glasses

The glassware insert can be installed in

the left or right side of the bottom bas-

ket in place of the removable plate in-

sert.

Very tall glasses can then be loaded

vertically so that they are washed more

effectively.

Loading the dishwasher

23

Adjusting the upper basket.

(depending on model)

The upper basket height is adjustable.

If tall items of dishware are being

washed, more room can be obtained

by raising or lowering the upper basket.

Pull out the upper basket and loosen

the two locknuts on either side of the

basket.

Adjust the basket up or down to the

desired height.

Tighten the locknuts.

The upper basket can also be set on

an angle, with one side high, and the

other side low. Ensure however that the

basket can be inserted smoothly into

the cabinet.

Depending on the setting of the upper

basket, the following dishware dimen-

sions can be accommodated:

Items not suitable for dishwashers

– Cutlery with wooden handles.

– Wooden cutting boards.

– Glued items such as old knives with

handles that are glued together

around the shank of the blade.

– Hand made craft items.

– Copper or tin items.

– Plastic items which are not heat resis-

tant.

Please note:

– Silver or aluminum items may suffer

some discoloration.

– Aluminum parts (eg. oven hood

grease filters) should not be cleaned

using commercial or industrial deter-

gents. These high alkaline deter-

gents may damage the machine,

and in extreme instances, cause ex-

plosive chemical reactions.

– Silverware previously cleaned with a

silver polish may be damp or

spotted at the end of a programme

where water has adhered to the pol-

ish. This can be rubbed off with a

soft, dry cloth. Silver that has pre-

viously been cleaned in an immer-

sion dip is usually dry at the end of a

programme, but may discolor (tarn-

ish).

– Colors on dishware that have been

painted over the glaze may fade

over time.

– Clouding may occur on glasses after

frequent washing.

– Carefully follow washing and dish-

washer detergent dosing instructions

in soft water areas. Water tempera-

tures above 50° C in combination

with soft water and detergent are ex-

tremely aggressive and will lead to

glassware etching.

Miele recommends:

Scraping, but not pre-rinsing your

dishes.

Using the minimum amount of deter-

gent possible to get the dishes clean.

Washing delicate glassware using

the ECONOMY programme or the

CHINA & CRYSTAL programme (if so

equipped). This will reduce the risk

of clouding.

Since there are no standard guide-

lines for washing all types of glass-

ware, when in doubt, wash by hand.

When purchasing new dishes and

cutlery, make sure they are dish-

washer safe.

Items not suitable for dishwashers

25

Adding detergent

Use only powder detergents formu-

lated for residential dishwashers

(for example, Electrasol®). Do not

use gels or liquid detergents.

Press the latch on the detergent dis-

penser. The cover will spring open.

Fill the dispenser using approxi-

mately 20 - 25 ml (3/4 - 1 ounce) of a

quality powder detergent.

Close the cover. The cover will al-

ways be open at the end of a wash

programme.

Generally, filling the dispenser with

20 - 25 ml (3/4 - 1 ounce) of detergent

will be sufficient to ensure cleaning.

Do not exceed a maximum of 30 ml.

If you choose a programme utilizing the

pre-wash you will also need to put

detergent into the small compartment

labeled (I) in the center of the dispen-

ser.

Dishwasher detergents contain irri-

tant and corrosive ingredients. They

can cause burns in the mouth and

throat if swallowed, or inhibit brea-

thing. Keep children away from

detergent and from the dishwasher

when the door is open.

To avoid the danger of children com-

ing into contact with dishwasher

detergent, only fill the detergent dis-

penser immediately before starting

the programme.

Capacities:

Compartment I (pre-wash) takes a

maximum of 25 ml (1 oz). Compart-

ment II (main wash) has horizontal

marks to assist you in filling. The marks

indicate a level of approximately 20, 25

and 30 ml (3/4, 1 and 1 1/4 oz) respec-

tively.

programme.The indicator lamp for

that touch pad will light.

If so desired, select “Top Solo” (2)

before starting the programme.

(see the “Additional features” sec-

tion).

Close the door. The machine will

start.

Note:

When required, the water softener

reactivation process is performed

before the wash programme. It may

last several minutes. During this

process the “8 k” indicator

lamp will be on.

The hardness of the water supply will

dictate how often (after how many

washes) the water softener needs to be

reactivated. For example with a water

hardness of 380 ppm (mg/l), reactiva-

tion will take place after every 3 pro-

grammes. With a water hardness of

140 ppm (mg/l), reactivation will only

occur after 8 programmes.

Do not cancel the programme pre-

maturely, as important programme

steps such as preparing the water

softener may be left out.

End of Programme.

A buzzer will sound at the end of the

wash programme.

This buzzer is then repeated for one

hour at ten minute intervals.

You can turn this buzzer off, if so

desired (see “Additional features”).

Interrupting a programme.

A programme can be interrupted by

opening the door.

If the door is once again closed, the

programme will continue from the point

of interruption.

Warning!

The water in the dishwasher may

be hot, and steam may be present!

Only open the door if absolutely

necessary and exercise extreme

caution when doing so. The danger

of burns and scalding exists.

Once opened, close the door

nearly fully and allow 20-30 sec-

onds for the internal temperature

to equalize before shutting it com-

pletely.

Changing a programme.

A programme can only be changed be-

fore the door is closed. If a programme

has already started, turn off the dish-

washer, and re-select a programme.

Turning the dishwasher off.

At the end of a programme:

Open the door slightly. The indicator

lamp in the programme touch pad

31

Unloading the dishwasher

Dishes tend to break and chip easier

when they are hot. Allow the dishes to

cool until they are comfortable to

handle before unloading them.

If the door is opened slightly at the

completion of the drying cycle, the

dishes will cool much faster.

Unload the lower basket first, then

the upper basket and cutlery tray (if

so equipped). This will prevent water

drops from the upper basket or cut-

lery tray from falling onto the dishes

in the lower basket.

Unloading the dishwasher

32

Additional features

Top Solo (18)

When this feature is selected, the ma-

jority of the water is directed to the top

and middle spray arms of the dish-

washer. Its use is recommended when

all the dishes and cutlery needing

cleaning can be loaded into the upper

basket and cutlery tray.

Note:

Lightly soiled plates or serving platters

can still be placed in the bottom basket

if large spaces are left between them.

Do not place dishes, bowls or other hol-

low containers in the bottom basket.

Adjusting the upper basket to its lowest

position will allow it to accommodate

larger plates.

Because smaller amounts of dishware

are being washed, the amount of deter-

gent used can be reduced accordingly.

Using “Top Solo” will also save water

and energy.

For example, using “Top Solo” with the

UNIVERSAL 55 °C/130 °F programme

uses 12 litres (2.6 Imp. gallons) of water

instead of the usual 19 litres (4.2 Imp. gal-

lons).

“Top Solo” can be selected with all

wash programmes.

Choose a programme.

Press the 2 (18) touch pad. The indi-

cator lamp next to the touch pad will

illuminate.

filter.

Cleaning and care

39

Cleaning the water inlet filter.

The water valve housing on the inlet

hose contains electrical compo-

nents and should not be immersed,

or run through water.

A filter is incorporated in the inlet hose

that is attached to the dishwasher’s

main shutoff valve. If your water supply

is hard, or the pipes contain sediment,

this filter may clog and prevent suffi-

cient water from entering the wash

cabinet. It can be cleaned as follows:

Cleaning the filter.

Disconnect the dishwasher from the

electrical supply (unplug it or shut off

the circuit breaker).

Turn off the main shutoff valve and

unscrew the inlet hose.

Carefully remove the rubber seal.

Remove the filter using flat pliers and

clean it with a toothbrush under run-

ning water.

Replace the filter and seal. Make

sure they are seated correctly.

Screw the inlet hose back onto the

water valve, making certain it is not

cross-threaded.

Slowly turn on the valve and test for

leaks.

Cleaning and care

40

Cleaning the wash cabinet

In general the wash cabinet is self-

cleaning, provided that the correct

amount of dishwasher detergent is

used.

If however there are lime scale or

grease deposits these can be removed

with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner.

Cleaning the door and the

door seal

Wipe the door seal regularly with a

damp cloth and remove any par-

ticles of food.

Wipe away any residue of food and

drink spillage from the sides of the

dishwasher door. These are not part

of the wash cabinet and are not

reached by water from the spray

arms.

Cleaning the control panel.

The control panel can be cleaned

using a damp cloth and mild deter-

gent.

Do not use abrasive, all purpose or

glass cleaners or ammonia, as their

use may damage plastic surfaces.

Cleaning the door panel.

Plastic laminate panels should be

cleaned using a suitable, non-ab-

rasive cleaning agent, or mild soapy

water.

Panels made from wood should be

cleaned using a soft damp cloth and

an appropriate wood cleaner.

Dishwasher installation

These fully integrated dishwashers are

specially designed for installation

under a continuous countertop.

A cabinet matching panel must be cus-

tom made for installation on the front of

the dishwasher.

To ensure stability, these dish-

washers should only be installed

under a continuous countertop

which is securely fastened to the

cabinet base units.

Dimensions:

1) For dishwasher height of 890 mm.

2) For dishwasher height of 840 mm.

Total height 840-890 mm; height adju-

stable by approx. 50 mm.

1.Levelling the countertop.

Check that the countertop is sufficiently

level in both directions. If not, it should

be levelled.

2.For countertops with

overhang.

Countertop should be the same thick-

ness at the front and back to provide

proper contact with the top surface of

the dishwasher. For countertops with

overhang at the front, two pieces of

wood or a plate should be attached

from the underside as shown below. If

two pieces of wood are used, the

space between them may be filled with

rubber sponge, glued to the counter-

top, for better sound insulation.

Dishwasher installation

51

3.Installing the dishwasher

under the countertop.

It is preferable to install the main water

and electric supplies so that they can

be accessed through an adjacent

cabinet, rather than situating them be-

hind the machine. See the “Plumbing”

and “Electrical” sections for proper con-

nection procedures before continuing.

Certain steps in the installation

procedures require that the dish-

washer be pulled out of its opening.

For this reason, perform the plumb-

ing and electrical connections after

the machine has been levelled and

the front panel has been mounted.

Installing the steam deflector

(if applicable).

A stainless steel plate is supplied to

protect the underside of the countertop

against steam rising from the dish-

washer when the door is opened. If the

countertop is made of Corian®, gra-

nite, marble or other solid, waterproof

material, the steam deflector should not

be used.

Squeeze a bead of sealant from the

supplied tube into the angle formed

by the curved edge b of the cover-

plate.

Align the plate c with the lower front

edge of the countertop (see illustra-

tion) and use the supplied tacks to

nail it into place.

On countertops with wood or lami-

nate edging, the tacks should be

nailed through the rear holes of the

plate.

Dishwasher installation

52

Installing the slides.

Two slides are included and should be

installed on the feet of the dishwasher

before the machine is pushed under

the countertop. They will allow the ma-

chine to slide easier, protect the floor,

and allow adjustment of the rear level-

ing legs from the front of the machine.

Adjust the height manually before in-

stalling the dishwasher. Leave a

space of approx. 5 mm (3/16") below

the countertop to allow the dish-

washer to be pushed back easily

into the recess. Make sure the dish-

washer stands level.

Place the slides, with the ratchet at

the rear, onto the dishwasher legs.

If the legs of the machine extend

more than 2.5 cm (1") attach a piece

of wood under each slide skid for sta-

bility.

Pushing in the machine.

Push the machine into the opening,

making sure the electrical cable and

hoses can reach their connection

points without being kinked. Excess

hose should not be pushed behind

the dishwasher, but laid to the side.

VERY IMPORTANT!

Kinked hoses will cause the ma-

chine to malfunction.

Dishwasher installation

53

Adjusting legs.

Adjust the rear legs until the top cor-

ner of dishwasher (above the ad-

justed leg) presses against the

countertop. Do not overstress the

countertop; slide skid provides 10:1

gear ratio!

To raise the machine - turn clockwise.

To lower - turn counter clockwise.

10 turns of slide skid screw produce

1 mm lift. A battery-powered screw-

driver could be used on the lowest

torgue setting.

Adjust the front leveling legs by

pushing on the foot using flat screw-

driver.

It is easier to adjust the screw feet if the

weight of the dishwasher is not bearing

down on them.

If possible tip the machine slightly.

For fine adjustments it may be

necessary to press against the cogs

of the feet with a screwdriver.

Screw the feet out until the dishwasher

is right up against the underside of the

countertop, to which it will be screwed

later. Ensure that the dishwasher

stands level and that the front of the

wash chamber is square to the door.

Make sure the machine presses the

countertop in all 4 corners.

Dishwasher installation

54

4.Installing the custom door

panel.

A custom door panel must be installed

on the dishwasher before it can be

safely operated. A single large panel or

a two piece panel separated at the

drawer line can be used.

To open the dishwasher door before

the front panel is installed, gently

pull on the upper portion of the

mounting bracket until the door latch

releases.

Panel Dimensions:

Weight: max. 9.5 kg

Thickness: 19 mm (3/4")

Width: 592 mm (23 3/8")

Height: To be calculated in accord-

ance with diagramm:

min. 700 mm (27 1/2")

max. 765 mm (30 1/8")

Note

If a split panel is used, the measure-

ments indicate the total combined

height of both panels plus the gap be-

tween them.

Front panel : Height F

F = C - 5 mm (1/4")

The door handle must be installed on

the panel before it is attached to the

machine. It should be located in the

center of the panel at a height that will

match the surrounding drawer handles.

Any screws used to attach the door

handle must be countersunk.

The maximum height from the under-

side of the countertop to the bottom of

the door panel is 770 mm (30 5/16").

To ensure safe operation of the dish-

washer once the panel is installed,

it is extremely important that the ten-

sion of the door springs be adjusted

to compensate for its weight. See

Step 7 for details.

Dishwasher installation

55

The door panel is attached to the dish-

washer using the mounting bracket that

comes secured to the front of the ma-

chine.

To remove the bracket:

Loosen the bracket retaining screw

(black arrow) located on each side

of the machine door.

Pull the bracket up until the upper

section of the bracket disengages

from the locator pins, then remove

the bracket.

Opening the door after the bracket

has been removed:

Insert your finger into the T-shaped

hole in the front of the door and pull

until the latch releases.

Dishwasher installation

56

Installing the bracket on the rear of

the custom door panel.

Push the dishwasher into its opening

and adjust the height.

Measure the distance “X” between

the round hole in the machine outer

door panel (shown in inset) and the

lower edge of the adjoining cabinet

door.

Place the door panel on a flat sur-

face, good side face down, being

careful not to scratch the surface.

Make certain that the bottom of the

panel is towards you.

Using a pencil, lightly draw a vertical

centerline on the panel (See the illus-

tration on the next page).

Draw a horizontal line “X” inches up

from the bottom edge of the panel.

For two-piece panels:

If your two-piece panel is joined

together using hardware that is not

flush with the rear of the panel, this

hardware must be removed before pro-

ceeding. The mounting bracket sup-

plied with the machine can be used to

secure both pieces to the dishwasher.

When mounting the two pieces,

make sure that the desired finished

panel height is maintained.

Dishwasher installation

57

There are two notches, marked as A in

the illustration, located on the mounting

bracket.

Place the bracket on the door panel

so that:

a - the notches cross the previously

drawn centerline, and

b - the bottom aligns with the horizon-

tal “X” line.

Mark and drill pilot holes for the

screws using a 3/32" (2.5mm) drill bit.

Attach the bracket to the back of the

panel, using the 16 screws provided.

Double check the location of the

bracket before mounting the panel to

the dishwasher.

Dishwasher installation

58

Attaching the front panel to the

dishwasher.

The front panel has been correctly in-

stalled when:

– the lower clips of the mounting

bracket are seated in their respec-

tive slots on the dishwasher outer

door, and

– The U shaped slots in the upper cor-

ners of the mounting bracket are

seated on their locator pins.

To attach the front panel:

Pull the dishwasher out of its open-

ing so that the upper edge of the

dishwasher door clears the counter-

top and the recessed screws on the

edge of the door are accessible.

Place the lower mounting clips into

the slots of the dishwasher door as

shown in the illustration.

Raise the panel slightly and seat the

U shaped slots of the upper bracket

onto their respective locator pins.

Lower the panel so that it is sup-

ported by the dishwasher door.

Dishwasher installation

59

5. Adjusting the panel

Once installed, the panel can be raised

or lowered up to 1/16" (2 mm) to main-

tain the cabinet lines.

The panel height is adjusted by turn-

ing the lower recessed screws on

the edges of the dishwasher door.

To raise the door – turn clockwise.

To lower the door – turn counterclock-

wise.

6. Securing the front panel.

Secure the front panel by tightening

the upper recessed screws on the

edges of the dishwasher door.

Once secure plug the screw holes

using the plastic caps provided in the

installation kit.

Dishwasher installation

60

7. Adjusting the door springs.

The door panel must be installed be-

fore this adjustment is made.

To check whether the door springs are

adjusted correctly:

Open the dishwasher door to the

horizontal position.

– If the door springs up to a 15 ° angle

from the horizontal position, the ten-

sion is correct.

– If the door remains in the horizontal

position, the tension needs to be in-

creased.

– If the door tries to close, the tension

should be decreased.

The adjusting screw is located in the

upper front strip, on the left side of the

dishwasher.

Open the dishwasher door.

Adjust the door springs to the cor-

rect balance by using a T20 torx

screwdriver:

– turn clockwise to increase the

tension

– turn counterclockwise to decrease

the tension.

Dishwasher installation

61

8.Securing the dishwasher

to the countertop.

Push the dishwasher back into the re-

cess.

Close the door and align the top of

door (control panel) with the cabi-

netry.

Open the door and check the verti-

cal gap, left and right side of top cor-

ners of wash cabinet. If distance to

side walls of cabinetry is not even,

push the dishwasher sideways to

align.

Close the door, check the alignment

of control panel again, correct if

necessary and repeat the inspection

of vertical gaps.

When correctly aligned, turn 2

1.3 cm (1/2") stainless steel screws

(supplied) into the prepared holes in

top edge as shown below.

The weight of the machine must be

supported by the legs, not the

countertop fastening screws. If se-

curing the top takes weight off of

the legs, extend the legs further

until they are tight against the floor.

Ensure that the seal on the top

edge of the dishwasher fits directly

against the worktop. If this is not the

case, adjust the height screws

more, (see Step 3).

Do not drill any additional holes

through any portion of the wash

cabinet. If in doubt about how to se-

cure the dishwasher, please call the

Miele Service Department.

Dishwasher installation

62

Special situations

If the edge of the countertop is too nar-

row, or the machine is being installed

under a cut out area, use the securing

brackets provided.

Pull the dishwasher out of the recess.

Fit the securing pieces into the slots

on both the left and right hand side.

Push the dishwasher into the recess.

Open the dishwasher door.

Screw the countersunk screws

(3.9 x 22) upwards through the

securing pieces on the left and right

hand sides into the work surface to

secure the dishwasher.

Dishwasher installation

63

For Corian® or granite countertops,

fasten the dishwasher to the adjacent

cabinets using the optional side mount-

ing brackets as shown below.

For openings greater than 23 5/8"

(60 cm) wide:

Pull the dishwasher out from under

the countertop about 4" (10 cm).

Insert the tab of each side mounting

bracket (optional) into the guide hole

on top of the dishwasher, then swing

it to the right or left as required.

Push the dishwasher back into its

opening. Align and fasten it to the ad-

jacent cabinets using 2 screws for

each bracket.

For openings 600 mm (23 5/8") wide:

Open the dishwasher door and

remove the caps covering the mount-

ing holes on the outer edge of the

wash chamber.

Fasten the dishwasher to the ad-

jacent cabinets using the supplied

screws and bushings. Make sure a

bushing is placed over the screw be-

fore inserting it into its mounting hole.

Tighten the screws and replace the

caps.

The side mounting holes should

only be used for securing the

dishwasher if the opening is

600 mm (23 5/8") wide. Use of this

method on larger openings will

damage the machine and cause

leaks.

Dishwasher installation

64

9. Final adjustments

Close the door of the dishwasher.

Look at the top left and right corners,

alignment of the control panel and

white wash cabinet behind it.

If not symmetrical, push the legs

sideways on the floor, as shown

below, to move the bottom of the

dishwasher. Keep the door closed.

Correct installation.

No adjustment required.

Incorrect installation.

Push the legs to the left.

Incorrect installation.

Push the legs to the right.

Make final adjustments of all 4 legs.

The dishwasher must be jammed be-

tween the floor and the countertop and

is held by friction.

DO NOT OVERSTRESS THE

COUNTERTOP!

The 2 scews on the top edge serve

only to secure the position.

By no means should the dishwasher

hang on those 2 screws with the

front legs in the air. The top will

bend and the door latch will not

align properly.

Dishwasher installation

65

10. Installing the toekick.

To prevent damaging the front

panel, and before installing the con-

tinuous and removable toekick,

measurements must be taken to en-

sure that the toekick will not inter-

fere with the complete opening of

the dishwasher door.

The toekick area of the dishwasher is nor-

mally covered with a toekick run match-

ing the kitchen furniture.

The panel overhang (P), and toekick

depth of recess (R), determine the maxi-

mum dishwasher toekick height (H).

If the panel contacts the toekick

while the dishwasher door is being

opened, the dishwasher toekick

must be cut shorter or recessed

deeper.

If (H) is equal to or less than the toekick

height of the adjoining cabinetry, no in-

terference will exist, provided that (R) is

at least 19 mm (3/4").

Note:

If a decorative or flush mount toekick is

desired, and (R) is less than 19 mm

(3/4"), other modifications, such as

beveling the top rear edge of the toe-

kick, may be adequate.

If your kitchen does not have a toekick

run matching the kitchen furniture, the

toekick area can be covered with a sep-

erate toekick kit, available at extra cost.

Dishwasher installation

66

Electrical connection

It is the responsibility of the cus-

tomer to ensure that the electrical

and plumbing installations are per-

formed by a qualified installer in

compliance with national and local

codes and regulations.

Disconnect the appliance from the

power supply before servicing the ma-

chine by pulling the plug or turning off

the circuit breaker (or preferably both).

Specifications.

Rated Load: 12.5 A / 1500 W

Circuit breaker:15 AMPS

The unit is equipped with a 1.5 m (5 ft)

power supply cord for connection to a

120 V, 15 AMP grounded receptacle.

Using an outlet:

It is recommended that the power

outlet for the appliance be installed

in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to

the undercounter space in which the

appliance itself will be located. It is

easisest to make one cut-out for all

three services (electrical, water in-

take and drain) to pass through. A

cut-out of 60 x 110 mm (2 1/2 x 4 1/2 ")

should be sufficient.

Make certain that there are no rough

edges that could damage the power

cord. If metal cabinets are used,

place the supplied rubber grommet

around the edge of the opening be-

fore passing the cable through.

Exercise care when pulling the dish-

washer in or out, so as not to dam-

age the power cord or hoses.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

GROUNDED.

In the event of a malfunction or break-

down, grounding will reduce the risk of

electric shock by providing a path of

least resistance for the electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding con-

nector and a grounding plug. The plug

must be plugged into an appropriate

outlet that is installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and or-

dinances.

WARNING - Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding con-

ductor can result in the risk of

electric shock. Check with a quali-

fied electrician or service repre-

sentative if you are in doubt

whether the appliance is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug

provided with the appliance; if it

will not fit the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a quali-

fied electrician.

Plumbing

It is the responsibility and obligation

of the customer to ensure that the

electrical and plumbing installation

is carried out by a qualified installer

in compliance with national and

local codes and ordinances.

All dishwashers that carry the following

blue and white sticker are designed to

shut off the water and drain the wash

cabinet in the rare event of an internal

water valve failure.

In order for this feature to be active,

the machine must be “ON” (not

necessarily running) and the door

must be closed when the dishwasher

is not being used.

Hot water supply specifications:

Recommended temperature: 49°C

(120°F)

Maximum temperature: 60°C (140°F)

Water pressure: 0.3 - 10 bar

(4.5 - 145 psi)

An air gap is built into the water inlet

system and will prevent potable water

mixing with waste water should a va-

cuum occur in water pipes.

Water connection

Note: Water connections must be

in accordance with national

and local codes ordinances.

Connection to the water inlet

The dishwasher should be connected

to hot water (max. 60°C) supply. NB

Please check with the Miele Service De-

partment if you are unsure whether

your household hot water system is suit-

able.

A shut-off valve with 3/4" male thread

must be provided on site (garden

hose type, 11.5 threads per 1" length).

The inlet hose with Waterproof sys-

tem is approx. 1.5 m long.

If the water pressure is too low the

machine may not take in enough

water in the allowed time and the

“Water Intake” indicator lamp will

flash (see “Problem solving guide”).

If the water pressure is too high, a

pressure reducer must be installed.

For the Miele “Waterproof” leak pro-

tection system to function properly

the inlet hose must be connected to

the shut-off valve in the correct man-

ner (As shown here).

Plumbing

68

The protective outer cover must not

be damaged in any way.

Connect the inlet hose wth the

“Waterproof” system vertically, use

angle connector if necessary.

There must be a distance of at least

20 cm between the floor and the bot-

tom of the “Waterproof” unit housing.

Lay the hose in such a way that it

does not rise above the bottom of

the “Waterproof” unit casing.

Warning: Electrical wiring and

components must not

contact any plumbing

material or drain hose.

Plumbing

69

Drainage system specifications:

The machine comes equipped with:

A 1.5 m (5 ft.) flexible drain hose with

an internal diameter of 22 mm (7/8").

A built-in swivel connector which allows

the drain hose to be routed in any direc-

tion.

A built-in non-return valve on the dis-

charge side to prevent waste water

from flowing back into the dishwasher.

A built-in odour trap on the discharge

side to prevent odors from entering the

kitchen.

Maximum drain height: 1 m (3 ft)

Maximum drain hose length: 1.5 m (5 ft)

Do not shorten the drain hose.

Electrical wiring and components

should not come into contact with

any plumbing fixtures or hoses.

IMPORTANT:

The dishwasher should be con-

nected directly to the drain line.

Drain connection:

D = 60 cm (24") (nominal)

Connect the supplied drain hose to the

drain pipe of the kitchen sink above

the trap using the clamp provided.

Do not connect drain hose to garb-

age disposal. Blockage of water dis-

charge from dishwasher may occur.

Plumbing

70

Drain hose connection:

The drain hose should be connected di-

rectly to large drain pipes. By no

means should connection be extended

with 3/4" hose or smaller! Connection to

drain should be adjacent to dishwasher

– left or right, but NEVER BEHIND!

Change existing installation to comply

with Miele installation instructions.

Additional note.

Since all Miele dishwashers are

equipped with an odour trap and non-

return valve, the drain hose can be con-

nected directly to the drain pipe as illus-

trated.

If plumbing codes require an external

air gap on the discharge side of the

dishwasher, the following requirements

must be met:

– No part the drain hose should be

higher than 1 m (39").

– The drain connection should be

made as close as possible to the

dishwasher.

– The internal diameter (22 mm or 7/8")

of the drain hose should not be re-

duced at any point.
