Warning and safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use can however lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions
carefully before starting to use this
machine.This way you will avoid the
risk of accidents, and damage to
the machine.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place for reference, and pass them
on to any future user.
Appropriate usage
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.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused by
improper use or for uses other than
those for which the appliance is in-
tended.
Delivery
A damaged appliance is dan-
gerous. It is therefore essential to
check packaging immediately and
examine the dishwasher for transport
damage. Under no circumstances
should you use a damaged machine.
Please ensure that the packaging
material is offered for recycling.
Installation
The dishwasher must be installed
and connected in compliance with
the installation instructions.
In order to ensure stability, built-
under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a con-
tinuous worktop which is secured to ad-
jacent cabinetry.
The dishwasher must not be in-
stalled under a hob unit. The high
temperatures sometimes dissipated by
radiant heat could damage the dish-
washer.
Do not connect the dishwasher to
the mains supply until it has been
installed.
Check that the voltage, frequency
and fuse rating shown on the data
plate match the household mains sup-
ply.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement is tested and where
there is any doubt the electrical system
in the house is checked out by a quali-
fied electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for damage caused by the
lack or inadequacy of an effective ear-
thing system (electric shock, for
example).
Warning and safety instructions
6
A damaged appliance is dan-
gerous. Switch off at the mains and
call your Miele supplier or the Miele Ser-
vice Department.
With the “Waterproof system” the
plastic housing of the water inlet
connection contains an electrical com-
ponent. The housing must therefore not
be dipped in water.
Never cut the water inlet hose,
even if it is too long. There are live
wires in this hose.
For safety reasons do not operate
this appliance on an extension
cable. (Danger of overheating).
Daily use
Do not use solvents in the dish-
washer. Danger of explosion.
Water in the dishwasher must not
be used as drinking water.
Avoid inhalation of powder deter-
gents. Dishwasher detergents con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They
can cause burning in the mouth and
throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.
Consult a doctor immediately if detergent
has been swallowed or inhaled.
Do not sit or lean on the opened
door. This could cause the dish-
washer to tip and be damaged and you
could get injured.
In an appliance with a cutlery bas-
ket (depending on model) cutlery
is cleaned and dried more efficiently if
placed in the basket with the handles
downwards. However, to avoid the risk
of injury place cutlery with sharp points
with the handles upwards.
Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers. Do not use
washing-up liquid.
Only use rinse aid formulated for
domestic dishwashers.
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as
other salts may contain insoluble addi-
tives which can impair the functioning
of the softener.
Plastic items which cannot with-
stand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers,
or plastic cutlery and crockery should
not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The
high temperatures in the dishwasher
may cause them to melt or lose shape.
Warning and safety instructions
7
Take care on dishwashers with a
visible heater element
Do not touch the heating element
during or directly after the end of a
programme, you could burn yourself.
Some plastic items could melt or
catch fire if they were to come into
contact with the heating element. There-
fore always place plastic items or any
other items which may not be com-
pletely heat resistant in the upper bas-
ket and ensure they cannot drop down
onto the heater element. Any items
which are too small to be lodged se-
curely in the upper basket should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Safety with children
Do not let small children play with
the dishwasher and its controls or
operate it. There is a danger that child-
ren playing might shut themselves in
the dishwasher.
Keep children away from deter-
gents. Dishwasher detergents con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the mouth
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit brea-
thing. Consult a doctor immediately if
your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
To avoid the danger of children
coming into contact with the dish-
washer detergent:
Only add detergent
just before starting
the programme and close the door, acti-
vating the child safety lock (depending
on model).
Keep children away from the dish-
washer when the door is open. There
could be detergent residues in the ap-
pliance.
To ensure children do not come
into contact with detergent:
For models with the “Delay start” option
make sure the dispenser is dry before
adding detergent. Wipe dry if necess-
ary. Detergent will clog if poured into a
damp dispenser and may not be thor-
oughly dispersed. If the door is open at
the end of a programme, children may
come into contact with this residue.
To avoid machine and material
damage
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir
with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the
reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-
voir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent always leads to
serious damage to the water softener.
Do not use commercial or indus-
trial detergents as these may dam-
age material and there is a risk of
severe chemical reaction.
Warning and safety instructions

The Miele Waterproof System of-
fers protection from water damage,
provided the following conditions are
met:
– The dishwasher is correctly installed
and plumbed in.
– The dishwasher is properly main-
tained and parts are replaced where
it can be seen that this is necessary.
– The stopcock has been turned off
when the machine is not used for a
longer period of time (e.g. during
holidays).
In countries where there are 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 appliance guar-
antee.
Repairs and maintenance
Repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent
engineers in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs by
unqualified persons could be dan-
gerous.
Always disconnect the appliance
from the electrical supply for main-
tenance work (switch off at wall socket
and remove the plug, or remove the
screw out fuse in countries where this
is applicable).
Disposal of your old machine
When disposing of an old dish-
washer first make it unusable. Dis-
connect, cut off the cable and the plug
from the cable.
Make the door lock inoperative (2 cross-
slotted screws), so that children cannot
accidentally shut themselves in. Make
appropriate arrangements for the safe
disposal of the appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused
by non-observance of the warning
and safety instructions.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these ma-
terials away, please ensure they are of-
fered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be recycled. Please contact your
local authorities or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes, be-
fore disposing of the appliance.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. See the appropriate sec-
tion in the Warning and Safety instruc-
tions.
Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally econ-
omical in its use of water and electricity.
You can make the most of your ap-
pliance by following these tips:
If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be con-
nected to a hot water supply, for fur-
ther economies.
Although all stages of the wash then
take place with hot water, savings are
made in:
– the use of primary energy
– costs
– programme running time.
If, however, your water is heated by
electricity we would still recommend
connection to cold water.
For most economical dishwashing
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
The “Top Solo” function should only be
selected for washing very small loads
of crockery (see “Additional options”).
Select the Economy 45ºC pro-
gramme for energy-saving dishwash-
ing.
Use the correct amounts of deter-
gent.
Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if
baskets are only half full.
Caring for the environment
10
Before using for the first time
Before using the machine for
the first time you require:
– approx. 2 litres of water,
– approx. 2 kg dishwasher reactivation
salt,
– domestic dishwasher detergent,
– rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
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 machine has
been previously used.
Before using for the first time
11
To open the door
Press the release catch inside the
door grip and pull forward.
If the door is opened during operation
all functions are automatically inter-
rupted.
To close the door
Push the baskets right in. Lift the
door and push until it clicks into posi-
tion.
Child safety lock
The yellow key for the child safety
lock is on one of the spikes at the
front of the upper basket.
Remove the key before switching
on the dishwasher and keep it in a
safe place away from the dish-
washer.
If you wish to prevent children opening
the dishwasher door during operation
use the key provided to turn the lock to
the required setting.
Horizontal setting:
The door is locked.
Vertical setting:
The door can be opened.
Before using for the first time
12
Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning re-
sults, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in
the build-up of calcium deposits on
crockery and in the dishwasher. Hence
if mains water hardness is above 4 °d
(0.7 mmol/l), the water should be soft-
ened. This takes place automatically in
the integrated water softener.
– The water softener must be filled
with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
– The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed to correspond to the water
hardness in your area.
– Your local water authority will advise
you on the highest level of water
hardness in your area.
If the hardness of your local supply is
constantly lower than
4 °d (0.7 mmol/l),
you do
not need to add dishwasher
salt. The dishwasher must, however,
still be programmed to correspond to
the water hardness level in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 8 - 17 °d (1.4 - 3.1
mmol/l),
always programme the machine to the
higher value (17 °d/3.1 mmol/l in this
example).
In the case of a fault, it will help the ser-
vice technician if you know the hard-
ness of your local water supply.
Enter the water hardness below:

Filling the salt reservoir
Important. Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for
the
first time, you must fill it with ap-
prox. 2 litres of water to enable the
salt to dissolve. Once the dish-
washer has been used, there is al-
ways sufficient water in the reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent always causes serious
damage to the water softener. Make
sure that you have picked up the
right packet of dishwasher salt be-
fore filling the salt reservoir.
Please only use special coarse
grained dishwasher salt for reactiva-
tion, as other salts may contain inso-
luble additives which can impair the
functioning of the softener.
Remove the lower basket and un-
screw the salt reservoir cap.
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres
of water (first use).
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
salt. The salt reservoir holds approx.
2 kg of salt.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced
water will overflow.
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then
screw the cap on again firmly.
Run the Pre-wash programme imme-
diately to remove any traces of salt
water from the cabinet.
Before using for the first time
16
Salt indicator
The salt indicator light comes on to not-
ify you that the reservoir is empty.
The reservoir should then be refilled
with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
( See: Filling the salt reservoir)
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically reacti-
vated the next time the dishwasher is
run. The salt indicator light may still be
illuminated during this process. It will
go out once the salt concentration has
reached the correct level.
Note
The salt indicator light will also come
on if the water used is very soft (below
4 °d / 0.7 mmol). In this case the reser-
voir should not be filled with salt. The in-
dicator light will remain lit and should
be ignored.
(See “After sales service” for definition
of “PC”).
Before using for the first time
17
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on croc-
kery during the drying phase.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is dis-
pensed automatically.
Make sure you have added rinse aid
before using the dishwasher for the first
time.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent always causes
serious damage to the reservoir.
Only pour rinse aid formulated for
domestic dishwashers into the reser-
voir.
Alternatively it is possible to use
– Household vinegar with a max. 5%
acid content
Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence
25% acid). This must
not be used
as its use would damage the dish-
washer.
or
– Liquid citric acid up to 50% acid con-
tent. The resulting rinsing and drying
quality will not, however, be as good
as when rinse aid is used.
Adding rinse aid
Press the button in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
Before using for the first time
18
Add rinse aid only until it is visible on
the surface of the filter in the open-
ing.
The rinse aid reservoir holds ap-
prox. 130 ml.
Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water would
enter the rinse aid reservoir during a
programme.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occuring dur-
ing the next programme.
Rinse aid indicator
The Rinse aid indicator light on the fas-
cia comes on when the rinse aid reser-
voir needs to be replenished.
When the light comes on the reservoir
still contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3
programmes.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
Before using for the first time
19
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The dosage selector has settings from
1-6. It is set to 3 at the factory (see
arrow). Approx. 3 ml of rinse aid are
then used per programme. This is a re-
commended setting.
If spots appear on crockery and glass-
ware:
Use a higher setting.
If clouding or smearing appears on
crockery and glassware:
Use a lower setting.
Before using for the first time
20
Cutlery
For best results cutlery should be
grouped in zones, one for knives, one
for forks, one for spoons, etc.
This makes unloading much easier.
Longer items such as soup ladles,
cake slices, mixing spoons and long
knives should be placed lengthwise in
the indentation in the middle of the cut-
lery tray.
The upper spray arm must not be
blocked by items which are too big
(e. g. cake slices)
The cutlery tray insert is removable (de-
pending on model).
Place the handles between the holders.
Spoon heads should be placed in con-
tact with at least one of the serrated re-
tainers on the base of the cutlery tray to
ensure that water runs off them freely.
Spoons with round or oval handles
should be placed with the heads in the
holders as this prevents them slipping.
Loading the dishwasher
26
Items not suitable for dish-
washers:
– Wooden cutlery and crockery or
items with wooden parts: these may
discolour and fade. The glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof
and wooden handles may come
loose after being washed in a dish-
washer.
– Craft items, antiques, valuable
vases and decorative glassware are
also not suitable for dishwashers.
– Plastic items which are not heat resis-
tant may lose shape.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items may discolour or become matt.
– Items with colours painted over a
glaze may fade after many washes.
– Clouding may occur on glasses after
frequent washing. Do not wash glass-
ware containing lead crystal in a
dishwasher.
We recommend:
– When purchasing new crockery and
cutlery, make sure they are dish-
washer-proof.
– There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware. When in doubt,
wash by hand.
– If delicate glassware is washed in
the dishwasher ensure that only very
low temperatures are used (see pro-
gramme chart). This will reduce the
risk of clouding.
Please note
Silverware previously cleaned with a sil-
ver polish may still be damp or spotted
at the end of a programme, where
water has not run off smoothly. It may
need rubbing dry with a soft cloth. Sil-
ver treated in a silver immersion dip is
usually dry at the end of a programme
but may discolour.
Aluminium components (e. g. a
grease filter) must not be cleaned
with caustic alkaline commercial or
industrial cleaning agents. These
may damage material, or in extreme
cases, cause severe chemical reac-
tion.
See section “Adding detergent” for
information on suitable detergents.
Loading the dishwasher
27
Operating the dishwasher
Adding detergent
Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers. Do not use
washing up liquid.
You can use conventional powder
detergent, tablets or liquid dish-
washer detergent.
Put powder or liquid detergent into
the dispenser compartment.
Detergent tablets should only be put
into compartment II if this is recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
If the manufacturer recommends in-
serting tablets in the cutlery basket
do not do so. Instead place them on
the inside of the door or directly into
the wash cabinet. The tablets will
then dissolve completely.
Detergent manufacturers give the re-
quired amount of detergent for a par-
ticular programme on their packaging.
Use at least 30 ml of detergent for a
full load in the following programmes:
– Normal programme,
– Universal programme,
– Universal plus programme,
– Economy 45º C programme.
If the manufacturer recommends a
larger amount of detergent, use the
amount recommended.
Please note
Failure to dispense the recommended
amount of detergent may impair clean-
ing results.
There are currently three types of
detergent on the market:
1. Detergents containing phosphates
and chlorine.
2. Detergents containing phosphates
but chlorine-free.
3. Phosphate-free and chlorine-free
detergents.
Type 3 detergents are more environ-
mentally friendly, however:
Phosphate-free detergent reacts more
sensitively to water hardness than
detergent containing phosphates. This
may influence cleaning results.
The following problems may occur:
– Increased etching in the form of a
bluish sheen on the surface of glass-
ware
– Discolouration of silverware
– Colours painted over a glaze may
fade.
Appearances of this nature are gener-
ally caused by the detergent used and
are not attributable to any malfunction-
ing of the dishwasher itself.
Preventative measures:
– Try out a phosphate-free detergent
from another manufacturer.
– Change to a detergent containing
phosphates (type 2), or, if available,
to a detergent containing both phos-
phates and chlorine (type 1).
– Programme the water hardness se-
lector one setting higher than recom-
mended for your supply hardness
(see chart in “Before using for the
first time”). Softer water is then pro-
vided.
Operating the dishwasher
28
The bleaching effect of chlorine-free
detergents is lower than that of deter-
gents containing chlorine. This may re-
sult in increased tea stains or discolour-
ation on plastic items. Appearances of
this nature are generally caused by the
detergent used and are not attributable
to any malfunctioning of the dish-
washer itself.
Preventative measures:
– Increase the amount of detergent
used for a greater bleaching effect.
– If available, change to a detergent
containing chlorine (type 1).
Should you experience difficulties when
using these types of products, please
contact the detergent manufacturer’s
advisory service.
Warning:
Avoid inhalation of powder deter-
gents. Dishwasher detergents con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the
mouth and throat if swallowed, or in-
hibit breathing. Consult a doctor im-
mediately if detergent has been
swallowed or inhaled.
Keep children away from deter-
gents and from the dishwasher
when the door is open. There could
still be detergent residues in the
cabinet.
To avoid the danger of children com-
ing into contact with the dishwasher
detergent only add detergent just
before starting the programme and
close the door, activating the child
safety lock.
To achieve optimum results distribute
the required amount of detergent, de-
pending on the type of detergent and
the programme selected, proportionally
between compartments I and II of the
dispenser.
It is essential to follow the instructions
given in the programme chart at the
end of the operating instructions.
Operating the dishwasher
29
Press the opening catch on the
detergent dispenser. The flap will
spring open.
The flap is always open at the end of a
programme.
Add the required amount of deter-
gent and close the flap.
Ensure that the detergent package is
properly sealed after use. Otherwise
the detergent can lose its effective-
ness.
For information
Compartment I holds max. 25 ml.
Compartment II holds max. 80 ml.
There are markings in compartment II
to assist with dispensing. The marks in-
dicate a level of approx. 20, 25, 30 ml
when the door is open in a horizontal
position.

Programme selection
Choose your programme according to
the type of load and how dirty it is.
In most cases this will be a Normal Pro-
gramme, a Universal Programme or a
Universal Plus Programme.
These programmes are ideally suited to
everyday mixed loads with varying de-
grees of soiling.
For particular needs there are
special programmes.
The different programmes and their
uses are described in the programme
chart at the end of this booklet.
The additional function “Top Solo” can
be selected with each programme.
For further information see “Additional
functions/Top Solo”.
“Energy Save” programme
Use this programme for lightly to nor-
mally soiled dishes.
A hot water intake (temperature of the
incoming water) of at least 45 °C and
max. 60 °C is necessary for this pro-
gramme.
Water is not heated in this programme.
Only approx. 0.10 kWh of electricity is
used during this cycle.
As water is not heated, the drying re-
sults may not match those of other pro-
grammes.
The higher the temperature of the in-
take water, the better the cleaning and
drying results.
Open the door of the dishwasher at the
end of the programme to speed up the
drying process.

gramme the time left until the end of
the programme is displayed. The “Time
left” indicator light next to the time dis-
play lights up.
The time displayed in the time display
may vary with the same programme.
This is partly because of the water inlet
temperature at each intake and partly
because of the amount of crockery
being washed.
When the dishwasher is first switched
on the display shows an average time
value for a cold water intake.
Values shown in the programme chart
refer to normal loads and average tem-
peratures and are for guidance only.
Each time a programme is run the elec-
tronic unit takes into account the new
conditions and calculates the pro-
gramme time required. This new figure
is then displayed when this programme
is next selected.

gramme sequence display (16) and a
“0” shows in the time display (15).
The dishwasher can now be opened
and unloaded (see the section “Unload-
ing the dishwasher”).
If the dishwasher is left closed the fan
will continue for a few more minutes to
diminish any remaining moisture. This
process is not part of the programme.
We recommend only opening the door
immediately a programme has ended if
you urgently need crockery or cutlery
from it.
For safety’s sake it is advisable to al-
ways switch the dishwasher off if you
do not wish to start another programme
immediately.

Additional functions
“Top Solo” (20)
The “Top Solo” additional function is rec-
ommended when there is only a small
amount of crockery and cutlery to clean.
With this function the majority of the
water is directed only to the top and
middle spray arms in the dishwasher.
This means that the water jets are aimed
at items in the upper basket and the cut-
lery tray if the dishwasher has one.
As the middle spray arm also directs
water downwards, lightly soiled plates
or platters can be placed in the bottom
basket, and cutlery may be placed in
the cutlery basket if there are large
spaces between items.
Do not place dishes, bowls or other hol-
low containers in the bottom basket.
Because smaller amounts of crockery
are being washed the amount of deter-
gent recommended by the manufac-
turer can be reduced to approx. 2/3 of
the total amount for the full load.
Make sure, however, when reducing
the amount dispensed that the clean-
ing result is not affected.
Using “Top Solo” will also save water
and energy.
For example, using this function with
the “Economy 45°” programme uses
only 11 litres of water and ap-
prox. 0.8 kWh of electricity.
The “Top Solo” function can be selected
with all programmes.

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 be-
fore unloading them.
If you open the door fully after switch-
ing off, the dishes will cool much fas-
ter.
First unload the lower basket, then
the upper basket and cutlery tray.
This will prevent water drops from
the upper basket and cutlery tray
from falling onto the dishes in the
lower basket.

Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm jets. The spray arms should
therefore be inspected and cleaned
regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months).
Switch the dishwasher off before-
hand.
Remove the spray arms as follows:
Take out the cutlery tray.
Press the top spray arm upwards to
engage the inner ratchet. Then un-
screw the spray arm.
Lift up the middle spray arm b, to
engage the ratchet. Then unscrew

Remove the lower basket.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly up-
wards to remove it.
Use a pointed object to push food par-
ticles into the spray arm jets.
Rinse thoroughly under running
water.
Replace the spray arms and check
that they rotate freely.

Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean-
ing, provided that the correct amount of
detergent is always used.
If however there are lime scale or
grease deposits in the cabinet these
can be removed with a proprietary dish-
washer cleaner.
Cleaning the door and the
door seal
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe food and drink residue from the
sides of the dishwasher door.
These areas are not part of the wash
cabinet and are therefore not ac-
cessed by water from the spray
arms.
Cleaning the control panel
(fascia)
This should only be wiped with a
damp cloth or suitable cleaning
agent designed for use on plastic.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents or all-
purpose cleaners. Because of their
chemical composition they could
cause serious damage to plastic
surfaces.
Cleaning the door panel
Clean using a suitable cleaning
agent.
Panels made from wood should only
be cleaned using a damp chamois
leather and then dried with a soft
cloth.
Do not use any cleaning agents con-
taining ammonia or thinners.
They could damage surfaces.

which is dishwasher-
proof.
Plastic items are discol-
oured
Natural dyes e. g. from
carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup may be the
cause. The amount of
detergent used or its
bleaching effect was not
sufficient to deal with
natural dyes.
Use detergent containing
chlorine. Use more
detergent, see “Operating
the dishwasher”.
Discolouration is
irreversible .
There are rust stains on
cutlery
The salt reservoir cap
has not been screwed on
properly.
Screw the cap on firmly.
The affected items are
not corrosion resistant.
There is no remedy.
Purchase cutlery which is
dishwasher-proof.
Detergent residue is left
in the dispenser at the
end of a programme
The dispenser was still
damp when detergent
was added.
Make sure the dispenser
is dry before adding
detergent.
The detergent dispen-
ser lid cannot be closed
properly
Clogged detergent
residue is blocking the
catch.
Remove the residue.

button.
The filter combination in
the wash cabinet is
clogged.
Clean the filter
combination, see
“Cleaning and Care”

Solving problems
Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw con-
nection of the valve on the water inlet
hose. The filter must be cleaned when
dirty, otherwise insufficient water flows
into the wash cabinet (see “Checking
the water level”).
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped
in water.
Recommendation
If the mains water contains a large num-
ber of insoluble substances, we recom-
mend fitting a large-area filter in the
connection between the stopcock
and the water inlet hose threaded
union.
This filter is available from the Miele
Spares Dept.
Cleaning the filter:
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains supply (switch off at the mains
socket, pull out the plug , switch off
the appropriate circuit at the fuse box
or withdraw the mains fuse).
Turn off the stopcock.
Unscrew the inlet hose.
Carefully remove the rubber seal.
Withdraw the filter using pointed pliers
and rinse clean under running water.
Replace the filter and seal, making
sure they are sitting correctly.
Screw back into place on the water
inlet, taking care that it is not cross-
threaded.
Turn on the stopcock gradually to
test for leaks. If there is a leak, screw
the connections on more tightly, mak-
ing sure the threads do not cross.

53
Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If the water has not been pumped
away at the end of a programme the
drain pump or the non-return valve
might be blocked. They are, however,
easy to clean. Watch out for glass or
bone splinters which could cause injury.
Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and
care”, “Cleaning the filters in the
wash cabinet”).
Scoop the water out of the cabinet
using a suitable container.
Raise the locking clamp for the non-
return valve.
Solving problems
54
Lift up the non-return valve and rinse
well under running water.
Remove all extraneous objects from
the non-return valve.
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
Remove all extraneous objects from
the drain pump (watch out for glass
or bone splinters which are particu-
larly difficult to detect and could
cause injury). Turn the drain pump
impeller by hand to check that there
are no more obstructions.
Carefully replace the non-return
valve and secure it with the locking
clamp.

Transport
Should you ever need to move the dish-
washer, e.g. when moving house, note
the following:
– Empty the dishwasher,
– Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses,
cables, cutlery baskets,
– Transport the dishwasher in the up-
right position.
If unavoidable it may be transported
on its back.
Do not transport it on its side or on
the door as residual water still in the
machine will leak out of it.
This residual water could get into the
electronic unit and cause a fault.

– detergent which is chlorine and phosphate free
– detergent which is chlorine free but contains phosphates
– liquid dishwasher detergent
In this instance the whole amount is placed in compartment II.
2) Use this ratio for:
– powder detergent which contains chlorine and phosphates (but not liquid detergent)
Divide the total amount, as shown, between compartment I and compartment II.

When washing a full load in the Normal Programme, the Universal Programme, the Universal Plus Pro-
gramme or the Economy Programme at least 30 ml of detergent are required. If the detergent manu-
facturer recommends using more than this you should dispense the amount they suggest.
If the “Top Solo” function is selected, the appropriate amount of detergent according to the level of soil-
ing should be added to compartment II only (approx. 2/3 of the total amount required for a full load).
