intended purpose. This appliance is
intended for residential use only.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to

							Installation
The dishwasher must be installed
and connected in compliance with the
installation instructions.
Installation and repair work should
be performed by a Miele authorized
service technician. Work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and may
void the warranty.
Do not install or use a damaged
dishwasher. A damaged appliance is
dangerous. Unplug the machine and
call your Miele dealer or the Miele
Technical Service Department.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children.
Danger of suffocation!
This appliance must not be used in
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
boat).
WARNING - Fire hazard
Do not cover or crush the plug of the
appliance. Ensure that the cabinet
opening for the dishwasher provides
ample space for the plug. Installing the
dishwasher in a tight space may crimp
the power cord or put pressure on the
plug which could cause overheating.
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. The housing must not be
submerged in water.
There are electrical wires in the
water inlet hose. Never cut the water
inlet hose, even if it is too long.
The integrated Waterproof System
offers protection from water damage,
provided the following conditions are
met:
–The dishwasher is correctly installed
and plumbed in.
–The dishwasher is properly
maintained and parts are replaced
where it can be seen that this is
necessary.
–The water supply has been turned off
when the appliance is not used for a
longer period of time (e.g. during
vacations).

the appliance is turned off. However,
the appliance must remain connected
to the electrical supply.

installed under a continuous counter
top secured to adjacent cabinetry.

							Do not cut the intake hose or
submerge it in liquid. This hose
contains electrical components that
could cause injury or property damage
if cut or submerged.
Only connect the dishwasher to the
mains when all installation and
plumbing work is complete.
Use
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in, on or near the
dishwasher. It is possible for small
fingers to be pinched in the door.
Only use the dishwasher if all panels
are properly in place.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not damage, sit or stand on the
door or baskets of the dishwasher.
Close the door when not in use.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen
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 water
flow from each for several minutes
before using the dishwasher. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
Be sure that all items placed in the
dishwasher are dishwasher safe. For
items not labeled, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
When loading tableware, place
sharp items away from the door to
prevent damage to the seal. Load
sharp items pointing downwards to
prevent injuries.
Only use detergents and rinse aids
recommended for residential
dishwashers. Keep all detergents and
rinse aids out of the reach of children.
Do not inhale or swallow detergents.
Dishwasher detergents contain irritant
and 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 drink water from the
dishwasher! Harmful residues could be
present.
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir or
salt container with detergent. It will
destroy the rinse aid compartment and
water softener.
Dishes can be very hot at the end of
a program. Allow the dishes to cool
until they are cool enough to handle
before unloading them.
Disposal of an appliance
If the appliance is removed from its
installation site and will not be used,
remove the doorlock to the wash
cabinet to prevent children from locking
themselves in the machine.

							Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in the use of water and
electricity. For best results follow these
tips:
For lowest energy consumption you
may connect the dishwasher to a
cold water source.
For fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot
water source.
Make full use of the baskets without
overloading for the most economical
washing.
Use the correct amount of detergent
and rinse aid. Detergent dosage is
dependent upon the amount of
soiling and type of dishware being
washed. See the Program Guide for
more information.
When using powder or gel detergent,
reduce the amount to
2/3of the
normal amount when washing a small
load.

Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
