Before using for the first time

Opening the door

At the end of programs with a drying phase (see “Program overview”) the door will open automatically a little in order to help the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “Programming options, AutoOpen”).

• Pull the handle to open the door.
• Open the door fully so that the door locking pins retract again.

If the door is opened during operation, all functions are automatically interrupted.

Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding!

Only open the door during operation if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so.

Keep the area around the door free of obstructions.

Closing the door

• Push the baskets in.
• Then lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position.

Danger of crushing injuries!

Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.

Water softener

In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in a build-up of calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher.

Water supplies with a hardness level higher than 4 gr/gal (4 °d) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener in the dishwasher is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 73 gr/gal (70 °d).

– The water softener requires dishwasher salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 22 gr/gal, or 21 °d), dishwasher salt is not required if combination tablets are being used (see “Operation - Detergent”).

– The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness in your area.

– Your local water supplier can tell you the water hardness level in your area.

– Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 10 - 16 gr/gal (10 - 15 °d), always program the dishwasher to the higher value (16 gr/gal or 15 °d in this example).

It is useful to know your water hardness so that you can provide the service technician with this information in the event of any service calls.

Enter the water hardness below: ____________ gr/gal (°d)

The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 1 gr/gal (1 °d).

If this setting corresponds to the hardness of your water, you do not need to do anything more.

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

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is needed to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware. The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir and the set amount will be automatically dosed.

Filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.

When using “Tab” detergents rinse aid is not needed.

Adding rinse aid

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

• Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 3.7 oz. (110 ml).

• Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a program.
• Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next program.

Loading the dishwasher

Tips

Remove coarse food residues from the dishes.

There is no need to rinse items under running water!

Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, grease, or paint in the dishwasher. These will damage the dishwasher.

Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed:

• Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces. They will cover each other.
• Load the dishes so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that they get properly cleaned.
• Make sure that all items are securely positioned.
• Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.
• Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g., champagne glasses, should be placed in the center of the basket to ensure better water coverage.
• Concave items such as mugs or bowls should be placed at an angle so that the water can run off.
• 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 rotating the spray arms.
• Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the baskets.
• Small items, e.g., lids, should therefore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model).

Some foods may contain natural dyes, e.g., carrots, tomatoes or tomato sauce. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolor if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the dishwasher on the dishes. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discoloration. Cleaning silver cutlery in the dishwasher may also cause plastic items to discolor.

Operation

Adding detergent

• Press the opening catch on the detergent dispenser. The flap will spring open.

The flap is always open at the end of a program.

• Add the required amount of detergent and close the flap.
• Make sure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use to avoid it getting damp and becoming lumpy.

Dispensing aid

Compartment I holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons (10 ml),

Compartment II holds a maximum of 3 ½ tablespoons (50 ml) of detergent.

The marks in compartment II indicate the levels of approximately 1 ¼ and 2 tablespoons (20 and 30 ml) respectively. The marks indicate the approximate fill level in ml when the door is open in a horizontal position.

Turning on

• Turn on the water supply if it is turned off.
• Open the door.
• Make sure the spray arms are not obstructed.
• Turn the dishwasher on with the button.

The indicator light next to the program selected will come on.

Selecting a program

Choose your program according to the type of load and the degree of soiling.

The different programs and their uses are described in the Program Overview chapter.

• Use the program selection button to select the program required.

The indicator light for the program selected will light up.

The program duration will appear in hours and minutes in the display.

You can now select program options (see “Options”).

If any program options are selected, the appropriate indicator lights will also light up.

Starting a program

• Start the program by closing the door within four seconds of the last press of a button.

The program will begin.

The Optical Interface comes on to show that a program has been started.

If you do not close the door within four seconds, the indicator light of the selected program and the time display will flash.

The program cannot be started until you press the program selection button and close the door within four seconds.

A program should only be canceled in the first few minutes, if at all. Otherwise important program stages could be omitted.

Time display

The duration of the program selected appears in hours and minutes in the display before the program begins. During the program, the time left until the end of the program can only be viewed when the door is open.

The program duration displayed may vary with the same program. It is influenced by, among other things, the water temperature at each intake, the reactivation process, the softener assembly, the type of detergent, the amount of dishes, and the amount of soiling.

When a program is selected for the first time, the display will show the average program duration for a cold water intake.

The times shown in the program overview refer to standard test loads and temperatures.

Each time a program is run, the electronic module calculates the program duration required depending on the temperature of the water taken into the dishwasher and the amount of dishes.

Energy management

To save energy, the dishwasher will switch off automatically 10 minutes after the last time a button has been pressed or 10 minutes after the end of the program (see “Options, Optimize Standby”).

• Press the button to switch the dishwasher back on.

The dishwasher will not turn off while a program is running, during the delay start period, or if there is a fault.

At the end of the program

At the end of a program, the In-operation indicator light will be visible flashing slowly with the door shut. The buzzer might also be sounding.

The In-operation indicator light or time display will go out 10 minutes after the program has finished.

During the drying phase, the door may open slightly and briefly show how long the program still has to run. The time display will then go out and the indicator light will start to flash.

Press any button to see how long the program still has to run.

Once the program has ended, appears in the time display.

In the QuickIntenseWash program, the door will not open until a few minutes after the program has finished.

The drying fan may continue to run for a few minutes at the end of the program.

• Open the door fully so that the door locking pins retract again.

You can now empty the dishwasher.

If you have deactivated the automatic door opening function (see “Programming options, AutoOpen”), and would like to open the door as soon as the program has finished, make sure that you open the door fully.

Otherwise steam from the dishwasher could damage the edge of the counter because the fan is no longer running.

Turning off the dishwasher

Turning off the dishwasher

• At the end of a program:
• Open the door.

The dishwasher can be switched off at any time using the button.

Switching the dishwasher off during a program stops the program.

Turning the dishwasher off during the run-up to a delay start time (FlexiTimer) will also stop the process.

If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g., while on vacation, the water supply 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 program has ended.

First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket, and finally the cutlery tray (depending on model).

This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and cutlery tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

Interrupting a program

The program will be interrupted as soon as you open the door.

After four seconds, the indicator light of the selected program and the time display will flash.

• Press the program selection button and close the door within four seconds.

The program will continue from the point at which it was interrupted.

Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding!

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. After that, press the program selection button and close the door within four seconds.

Changing a program

If the detergent dispenser flap has already opened, do not change the program.

If a program has already started and you wish to change it, proceed as follows:

• Open the door.
• Turn the dishwasher off with the button.
• Turn the dishwasher on again with the button.
• Select the desired program.
• Start the program by closing the door within four seconds.

The Optical Interface comes on to show that a program has been started.

Options

Short

The “Short” option reduces the duration of programs in which this option is available (see “Program overview”).

In order to achieve optimum cleaning results, consumption rates are increased with this option.

When used in combination with the “QuickIntenseWash” program, the Short option results in a rinse cycle without drying or automatic opening of the door (if available).

• Open the door.
• Turn the dishwasher on with the button.
• Select a program.
• Press the button.

The indicator light will light up.

Delay Start

You can set the start time for a program, e.g., to take advantage of night time electricity rates. The start time can be delayed between 30 minutes and 24 hours.

The delay period is shown in 30 minutes increments for a delay period between 30 minutes and 9 hours 30 minutes. It is shown in hours for periods longer than this.

When using the Delay Start function, make sure that the detergent compartment is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry with a cloth if necessary. If the compartment is wet, powder detergent can become lumpy and stick to the dispenser, with the result that it is not fully dispensed.

Do not use liquid detergent when selecting Delay Start, as it can run into the dishwasher before it is required.

• Open the door.
• Turn the dishwasher on with the button.
• Select the desired program.
• Press the button.

The last delay start time used will appear in the time display. The indicator light will light up.

• Set the required delay start time using the button.

If you keep the button pressed, the time will increase automatically up to hours. To get back to hours, press the button twice.

If you have deactivated the automatic door opening function and would like to open the door as soon as the program has finished, make sure that you open the door fully. Otherwise steam from the dishwasher could damage the edge of the counter because the fan is no longer running.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the wash cabinet

Generally, the wash cabinet is self cleaning if the correct amount of detergent is used.

If, however, there are limescale or grease deposits in the wash cabinet, these can be removed with a special cleaning agent (available from Miele). Follow the instructions on the packaging.

If you mainly use low temperature programs (< 120°F/50 °C), there is a risk of bacteria and unpleasant odors building up in the wash cabinet. To prevent this happening the dishwasher will automatically increase the temperature in the final rinse of the selected program after several programs using low temperatures have been run.

• Clean the filters in the wash cabinet regularly

Cleaning the door and the door seal

Bacteria could build up on the door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door as these surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets.

• 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 indicator reflector panel

The indicator reflector panel for the Optical Interface / TimeControl function (depending on model) is situated in the cover plate underneath the counter.

• The indicator reflector panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth or a suitable cleaning agent designed for use on plastic.

Cleaning the door front

If soiling remains longer, it may happen that the surfaces can become discolored or changed. Remove any soiling immediately.

• Clean the front with a solution of warm water and a little dishwashing liquid applied with a soft sponge. Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

Glass cleaners may be used to clean the exterior. However do not allow them to sit or “puddle”, this can cause damage to the surface. Remove the cleaner promptly.

Filter system

The filter system in the base of the wash cabinet prevents food from being redeposited on dishes. It also protects the circulation pump from damage caused by foreign objects.

This dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place!

Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.

• Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary

Filter system

• Turn the handle counter-clockwise to release the filter system .
• Lift the filter system out of the dishwasher . Remove any coarse particles and rinse the filter well under running water.

Use a nylon brush if necessary.

Ensure that coarse soil does not get into the circulation system and cause a blockage.

To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened:

• Press catches together in the direction of the arrows as shown, and open the filter .
• Rinse all the filters under running water.
• Then close the flap so that the catch engages.

• Replace the filter system so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.
• Then turn the handle clockwise until both arrows point towards each other. This will lock the filter system in place.

Take care when you are fitting the filter system that it is secured in position correctly.

Otherwise coarse soil could get into the circulation system and cause a blockage.

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months).

• Turn the dishwasher off.

Remove the spray arms as follows:

• Take out the cutlery tray (if your dishwasher is fitted with one).
• Push the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.

• Push the middle spray arm upwards to engage the ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm .
• Remove the lower basket.

• Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove it.

• Use a pointed object to push the food particles that are stuck in the spray arm jets into the spray arm.
• Rinse the spray arms thoroughly under running water.
• Replace the spray arms and check that they rotate freely
