Guide to the appliance

Miele dishwashers are available in

three versions:

1. “Freestanding“ dishwashers

“Freestanding“ dishwashers do not re-

quire any special installation fixings in

the kitchen.

A decor frame can be added to take a

panel for matching the dishwasher to

the kitchen fronts.

2. Integrated (“i“) dishwashers

“i“ dishwashers are specially designed

for building under a continuous work-

top.

The control panel with its accessories

is included with the “i“ dishwasher in a

separate package for on-site fixing.

The front is designed to be fitted with a

base unit front to match the kitchen fur-

niture.

The dishwasher does not have a plinth

facia. The plinth area can be covered

either with facia to match your kitchen

furniture if available, or another facia.

The separate plinth facia can be fitted

to match the height of adjacent plinths.

The plinth return is freely adjustable.

All notes on installation are described

in the chapter on “Installation instruc-

tions“.

3. “U“ dishwashers

The built-under(“U“) dishwashers use

the integrated (“i“)-dishwashers as the

basic machine.

By using a decor set (GDU) the “i“ dish-

washer can be converted into a “U“

model dishwasher.

GDU installation instructions are in-

cluded in a separate installation leaflet

supplied with the decor set.

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 instruc-

tions 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. Do not use for pur-

poses other than those for which it was

designed. Unauthorised use could

prove dangerous.

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.

The following notes are to help avoid

personal injury

To ensure stability integrated and

built-under models must be in-

stalled under a continuous worktop

which has been firmly screwed to

neighbouring units.

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 can-

not be held responsible for damage

caused by the lack or inadequacy of

an effective earthing system, (electric

shock for example).

For safety reasons do not operate

this appliance on an extension

cable. Danger of overheating.

A damaged appliance is dangerous.

Switch off at the mains and call the

Service Department for assistance.

Repairs may only be carried out by

suitably qualified and competent

engineers to ensure safety. Repairs by

unqualified persons could be dan-

gerous.

With the "Waterproof system", the

plastic housing of the water inlet

connection contains an electrical com-

ponent. It must not be dipped in water.

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.

Do not use solvents in the dish-

washer. Danger of explosion!

Avoid inhalation of powder deter-

gents.

For appliances with the heating ele-

ment in the wash cabinet do not

touch the element during or directly

after the end of a programme, you

could burn yourself.

Warning and safety instructions

6

Dishwasher detergents contain irri-

tant or corrosive ingredients. They

can cause burning in the mouth and

throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.

Keep children away from detergents

and from the dishwasher when the

door is open. There could be deter-

gent residues in the appliance.

To avoid the danger of children

coming into contact with the dish-

washer detergent: Only put it into the

detergent dispenser

just before starting

the programme, and then secure the

door with the child safety lock.

For models with "Delay Start" option

make sure the detergent dispenser is

dry before putting in detergent. Wipe

dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if

poured into a damp dispenser and may

not be thoroughly dispensed. If the

door is open at the end of a pro-

gramme, children may come into con-

tact with this residue.

Water in the dishwasher must not

be used as drinking water.

Appliances with a cutlery basket:

items of cutlery are cleaned and

dried more efficiently if placed in the

basket handles downwards. You may

however, prefer to place cutlery with

sharp points with the handles upwards.

Always disconnect the appliance

from the electrical supply for main-

tenance work (switch off at wall socket

and remove plug, screw out fuse in

countries where this is applicable).

The following notes should help to

avoid material damage

The voltage and frequency shown

on the data plate must match the

mains supply in the house.

Only use detergents formulated for

domestic dishwashers. Do not use

washing-up liquid.

Do not use commercial or indus-

trial detergents as these may dam-

age material and there is a risk of

severe chemical reaction.

Inadvertently filling the salt reser-

voir with dishwasher detergent al-

ways leads to damage to the water sof-

tener. Make sure that you have picked

up the right packet of dishwasher salt

before filling the salt reservoir.

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid

reservoir with powder or liquid

detergent always leads to serious dam-

age to the reservoir. Only use rinse aid

formulated for domestic dishwashers.

Do not sit or lean on the opened

door. This could cause the dish-

washer to tip and be damaged.

If your dishwasher has the heating

element visible in the base of the

wash cabinet, as far as possible al-

ways place plastic items in the top bas-

ket, and ensure they do not drop

through. The plastic could melt or lose

its shape near the heating element.

Warning and safety instructions

7

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 infesta-

tion by cockroaches or other vermin,

pay particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any dam-

age which may be caused by cock-

roaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the appliance guarantee.

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, so that

children cannot accidentally shut them-

selves in. Make appropriate arrange-

ments for the safe disposal of the ap-

pliance.

The manufacturer can not be held

responsible 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 machine

Old machines contain materials which

can be re-cycled. Please contact your

local authorities or scrap merchant

about potential recycling schemes, be-

fore disposing of the appliance.

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:

If your household water system is

suitable, this dishwasher can be con-

nected to a hot water supply, for fur-

ther economies.

However, if your water is heated by

electricity we would still recommend

connection to cold water.

In the UNIVERSAL 55° programme,

depending on the capacity of the

dishwasher, when connected to hot

water at 55°C up to 0.7 kWh of elec-

trical energy is saved. The hot water

provides this energy, and the ap-

prox. 0.13 l oil or 0.14 m

3

natural gas

needed to heat the water might be

considerably more cost effective.

Although all stages of the wash then

take place with hot water, savings

are made in cost, time and energy.

Make full use of the baskets without

overloading the dishwasher for most

economical washing.

Choose the programme to suit the

type of crockery being washed and

the degree of soiling.

If baskets are only half full use the

ECONOMY programme.

Use the correct dosages of deter-

gent.

Caring for the environment

9

Before using for the first time

Before using for the first time please

note the following points:

See the relevant chapters for detailed

information on the points below.

Setting the water softener

The water softener unit must be set to

deal with the water hardness level in

your area.

The salt reservoir must also

first be

filled with water and then with dish-

washer salt. Never fill with dishwasher

powder detergent.

Filling the salt reservoir with deter-

gent by mistake will cause serious

damage to the water softener.

Please check every time before re-

filling that the package contains

dishwasher salt.

Add rinse aid

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reser-

voir with powder or liquid detergent, or

washing up liquid, will cause serious

damage to the reservoir.

Only use rinse aid formulated for do-

mestic dishwashers.

Do not use washing up liquid

Only use detergent formulated for do-

mestic dishwashers.

Load the crockery correctly

Load the crockery so that water will

come into contact with all surfaces.

This ensures that they will be properly

cleaned.

The spray arms must not be blocked

by items which are too tall for the bas-

ket or which hang through. If necessary

manually rotate the spray arms to test.

Add the correct amount of detergent

Follow the detergent manufacturer’s

recommendations on how much deter-

gent to use. Not using enough will lead

to poor wash results. The amount to dis-

pense will depend on the type of deter-

gent and programme selected.

Read the notes on dosage given in the

programme chart.

Cleaning results may vary from brand

to brand. If you are not satisfied with

the results from one brand try another

quality brand before contacting the

Customer Service department for ad-

vice.

It is important to choose the correct

programme

The UNIVERSAL programmes are

ideally suited to everyday loads. See

the programme chart for descriptions

of other programmes.

The filter combination in the base of

the wash cabinet and the spray arms

must be kept clean.

These should be regularly inspected

and cleaned if necessary.

11

Water softener

It is not necessary to reactivate with

salt if the degree of hardness in the

local supply is permanently

under

70 mg/l, (0.7 mmol/l, or 4 °d German

scale).

Your local water supplier will advise

you on the water hardness of your area.

Above 70 mg/l (0.7 mmol/l, or 4 °d Ger-

man scale) water must be softened.

This is to avoid the build-up of calcium

deposits on crockery and cutlery, and

in the dishwasher, and also to increase

the effectiveness of the detergent.

To ensure a steady supply of soft water

the built-in water softener must be:

1. correctly set and

2. the salt reservoir must be filled with

dishwasher salt for reactivation.

The dishwasher is set at the factory to

operate to a hardness level of

400 - 630 mg/l (4.0 - 6.3 mmol/l, or 22 -

35 °d German scale).

If your water is harder or softer than

this the factory setting will need to

be adjusted.

Setting the water hardness level

selector in the wash cabinet

There are six settings on the selector.

Setting °d mg/l °f

1 4-14 70-250 7-25

2 15-21 270-380 27-38

3* 22-35 400-630 40-63

4 36-47 650-850 65-85

5 48-65 860-1170 86-117

6 66-70 1190-1260 119-126

* factory setting

Use a coin or screwdriver to adjust

the water hardness level selector in

the wash cabinet. There is a click as

each setting is reached.

Example:

The water hardness level is 320 mg/l.

The water hardness level selector must

be set to setting 2, 270 - 380 mg/l

(15 - 21 °d German scale).

Water softener

12

Filling the salt reservoir

Please 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.

The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of

salt.

Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir

with

dishwasher detergent always

causes serious

damage to the

water softener.

Make sure that you have picked up

the right packet of

dishwasher salt

before filling the salt reservoir.

Remove the bottom basket.

Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Before filling the salt reservoir for

the first time:

Fill the salt reservoir with approx.

2 litres of water.

Place the funnel (provided) in place.

Fill carefully with salt

(As it is filled displaced water will run

out).

Clean salt from the screw threads of

the socket.

Screw the cap on firmly.

Run the “COLD PRE-WASH” pro-

gramme

immediately to remove any

traces of salt water from the cabinet.

This is not necessary if a “UNIVER-

SAL” or “UNIVERSAL PLUS” pro-

gramme is run straight away.

Water softener

13

Salt indicator

When the salt reservoir is empty the

“Salt” indicator light comes on. The

reservoir should be refilled with dish-

washer salt for reactivation.

Note

With very soft water, i.e. constantly at a

level below 70 mg/l (4 °d), the reservoir

does not have to be filled with salt and

although the salt light does come on,

this can be disregarded.

Water softener

14

Adding rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that

water does not cling and leave marks

on crockery during the drying phase.

Rinse aid is poured into the storage

reservoir and the amount set is dis-

pensed automatically.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.

130 cm

3

.

Inadvertently filling the rinse aid

reservoir with

powder detergent (or

liquid detergent) always causes

serious damage to the reservoir.

Only pour

rinse aid formulated for

domestic dishwashers into the reser-

voir.

Although it is possible to use

house-

hold vinegar with a max. 5% acid

content, or liquid citric acid up to

50% acid as an alternative, the re-

sulting rinsing and drying quality

will not be as good as when rinse

aid is used.

Do not use vinegar with a high acid

content (e.g. vinegar essence 25%

acid). This must

not be used as its

use would damage the dishwasher.

Add rinse aid when the indicator

light “Rinse aid” on the control panel

comes on.

Press the button (in the direction of

the arrow) until the flap springs open.

Adding rinse aid

15

Add rinse aid only until it is visible on

the surface of the filter in the open-

ing.

Close the flap firmly.

The flap must audibly engage, other-

wise water could get into the rinse

aid storage container during the pro-

gramme.

Mop up any split rinse aid. This pre-

vents over-forming occuring during

the next programme.

The flap should normally remain

closed. Only open it for adding more

rinse aid!

Wait until the ”Rinse aid” indicator on

the control panel lights up before ad-

ding more rinse aid.

Setting the dosage

The dosage adjuster (see arrow) in the

opening has settings from 1 to 6. It is

set to 3 at the factory, as the recom-

mended dose.This setting dispenses

approx. 3 ml rinse aid per programme.

If there are flecks on glasses after

drying use a higher setting.

If smearing appears on crockery use

a lower setting.

Adding rinse aid

16

Loading the dishwasher

Note

Load the crockery so that water will

come into contact with all surfaces.

This ensures that they will be

properly cleaned.

Do not place crockery and cutlery in-

side other pieces where they may be

concealed.

Hollow items e.g. cups, glasses etc.

must be inverted in the basket.

Deep based items should be placed

at an angle such that water runs off

them freely.

Tall narrow hollow pieces should be

placed in the centre of the basket,

rather than in the corners, to ensure

good coverage of water.

Small pieces should be placed on the

cup racks. Cups should be on the

lower rack and bowls on the top rack

so that water reaches all pieces.

The spray arms must not be blocked

by items which are too tall for the

basket or which hang through.

If necessary manually rotate the

arms to test.

Some foodstuffs may contain natural

dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ket-

chup. Plastic items in the dish-

washer may discolour if large quan-

tities of these foodstuffs find their

way into the appliance on the croc-

kery.

The stability of the plastic items is

not affected by this discolouration.

Loading the dishwasher

Loading examples

Upper basket

Small, lightweight, delicate items such

as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert

bowls, etc.

Bottom basket

Larger and heavier items such as

plates, serving platters, saucepans,

bowls. Depending on the dishwasher

model glasses may only be cleaned in

the bottom basket if it is fitted with a

special glassware insert or if there is a

special bottom basket.

18

Cutlery

Dishwashers with cutlery basket:

Unsorted cutlery should be placed in

the cutlery basket, handles facing

downwards.

You may, however, prefer to place

cutlery with sharp points with the

handles upwards.

Place small spoons in the individual

slots to either side of the cutlery basket.

Larger items like soup ladles, long

knives and mixing spoons should be

placed lying down across the front of

the upper basket.

Loading the dishwasher

19

Dishwasher with cutlery tray

(SC models):

For best results cutlery should be

grouped in zones, one for knives, one

for forks, one for spoons etc. This

makes unloading much easier.

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.

The cutlery tray insert is removable. It

can be completely removed from its

frame and carried to the cutlery drawer,

or table where it can be easily un-

loaded.

Loading the dishwasher

20

Spoon heads should be placed in such

a way that water runs off them freely.

Cutlery with round or oval handles

should be placed with the heads in the

grips as this prevents them slipping.

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.

The upper spray arm must not be

blocked by items which are too big,

e.g. cake slices.

Loading the dishwasher

21

Flap up racks

Can either be used for a second row of

cups or raised upwards to make room

for tall items.

Positioning rail

(standard feature depending on model)

For easy sorting and removing of croc-

kery the positioning rail can be rested to

one side.

Raise it again afterwards so that croc-

kery can rest against it in the basket.

Loading the dishwasher

22

Adjusting the upper basket

(depending on model)

In order to gain more space for taller

pieces of crockery in the bottom or

upper basket, the upper basket can be

adjusted in three steps with 2 cm be-

tween each step.

Pull out the upper basket and loosen

the two locknuts on either side of the

basket.

Adjust the basket up or down to the

right height.

Tighten the locknuts.

The upper basket can also be set to an

angle if required.

Depending on the setting of the upper

basket the following dimensions can be

accommodated:

Items not suitable for dishwashers

– cutlery with wooden or horn handles,

– wooden or plastic chopping boards,

– glued items, e.g. old knives with

handles which have been glued on,

– hand-made craft items,

– copper or tin items,

– plastic items which are not heat resis-

tant.

Please note

–

Silver- and aluminium items can suf-

fer some discolouration.

– Aluminium components (e.g. grease

filter) must not be cleaned with caus-

tic alkaline commercial or industrial

detergents. This may damage ma-

terial or, in extreme cases, cause

severe chemical reaction.

–

Silver, treated with a silver 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.

Silver,

treated in a

silver immersion dip is

usually dry at the end of a pro-

gramme but may discolour.

–

Colours painted over a glaze may

fade after many washes.

– Clouding may occur on

glasses after

frequent washing.

We recommend:

Wash delicate glassware in the

ECONOMY 55 ° - programme, (or for

models where the programme is

available, GENTLE 45°C). This will re-

duce the risk of clouding.

There are no standard guidelines for

washing glassware. When in doubt

wash by hand.

When purchasing new crockery and

cutlery, make sure they are dish-

washer safe.

Items not suitable for dishwashers

24

Adding detergent

Only use detergents formulated for

domestic dishwashers. Do not use

washing up liquid.

Please note

Dishwasher detergents contain irri-

tant or corrosive ingredients. They

can cause burning in the mouth

and throat if swallowed, or inhibit

breathing. Keep children away from

detergent 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 put it into the detergent dispen-

ser just before starting the pro-

gramme.

Selecting detergent

Recently almost all detergent manufac-

turers have launched

new detergents

with a different composition, in addition

to standard types.

Should you experience difficulties when

using these types of products, please

contact Miele Customer and Technical

Services Department, or the detergent

manufacturer’s own Advisory Service.

These

new dishwashing detergents, al-

though welcome from an ecological

point of view, react to a different degree

from conventional products to water

hardness. The drawbacks may only

become apparent after a prolonged

period of use.

The following problems may occur:

– White deposits on crockery and

inner cabinet.

– Increased etching in the form of a

bluish sheen on the surface of glass-

ware.

– Discolouration of silverware.

Appearances of this nature are

generally caused by the detergent

used and are not attributable to any

malfunctioning of the dishwasher it-

self.

Adding detergent

25

Preventive measures:

1. If you wish to continue using the new

chlorine and phosphate-free pro-

ducts, the following is recommended:

– Set the water hardness selector one

setting higher than recommended in

the “Water softener” chapter, if the

water hardness is at the top of the

scale (except with setting 6).

Example:

above 610 mg/l (34 °d ) set the

water hardness selector to setting 4.

– Try out an environmentally friendly

detergent of the same type from an-

other manufacturer.

2. If you are still dissatisfied with the re-

sults, we recommend the use of

chlorine-free but not phosphate-free

detergent.

– Set the water softener and dispense

detergent according to instructions

given in this instruction booklet.

3. If results are still not to your satisfac-

tion, you should revert back to using

conventional

detergents containing

both chlorine and phosphate.

– Set the water softener and dispense

detergent according to instructions

given in this instruction booklet.

Should you experience difficulties when

using these types of products, please

contact the detergent manufacturer’s

own Advisory Service.

Adding detergent

26

Dishwasher detergent must be added

before each programme (except COLD

PRE-WASH).

– Pour powder or liquid detergent into

the dispenser.

– Dishwasher detergent tablets can be

put at various places in the wash

cabinet, (follow the manufacturer’s

advice on the packet).

Detergent manufacturers give the re-

quired amount of detergent in ml (or g)

on the packaging.

For UNIVERSAL programmes use at

least 30 ml (or g) detergent unless ad-

vised to use more by the manufacturer,

then use what they advise.

The amount to dispense will depend on

the type of load and the programme se-

lected.

See the programme chart on the next

pages for advice on amounts to dis-

pense.

If you buy detergent in bulk please

ensure that the container is always

properly sealed after use. Otherwise

the detergent can lose its effective-

ness.

27

For information:

Compartment I takes max. 25 ml, Com-

partment II max. 80 ml. There are hori-

zontal markers to assist with

dispensing in compartment II, indicat-

ing the level in ml.

Press the opening catch on the con-

tainer flap.

The flap will spring open.

The flap is always open at the end of a

programme.

Pour in the required amount of deter-

gent.

Shut the flap.

Switching on and off

Switching on

Close the door

Open the stopcock (if it is closed).

Turn the Programme selector switch

(programme sequence indicator)

clockwise, until a resistance is felt, to

the “start point” of the required pro-

gramme, e.g. "UNIVERSAL PLUS".

Then turn the Temperature selector

switch to the required temperature

e.g. “65 °”.

The programme cycle begins.

If you turn the selector past the

“start point” by mistake:

Turn the temperature selector switch

to “0-Off”.

Turn the programme selector switch

in a clockwise direction to the re-

quired start point.

Re-set the temperature with the tem-

perature selector switch.

Programme change

It is possible to change temperature

within a programme, e.g. UNIVER-

SAL 55 ° to UNIVERSAL 65 °.

If changing a programme, e.g.

UNIVERSAL PLUS to UNIVERSAL it

is advisable to first turn the dish-

washer off.

Switching off

On completion of a programme:

Turn the temperature selector to

“0-Off”.

If the dishwasher is not to be used for a

longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holi-

day:

Turn off the stopcock.

Switching on and off

32

Programme sequence indication

During the programme the programme

selector switch moves around the dial

to show which stage has been reached:

– Pre-wash (not shown)

– Wash cycle

– Interim rinse

– Final rinse

– Drying phase

The programme selector switch re-

mains stationary during the warm-up

phases of the wash and rinse cycle

until the required temperature has been

reached.

Note!

Do not finish a programme prematurely.

Important programme stages (e.g. re-

activating the water softener) could be

omitted.

A programme is complete only when

the programme selector switch is at the

"End" position.

The dishwasher can be opened and

crockery unloaded. If it is left closed,

the fan will continue for a few more

minutes to diminish any remaining mois-

ture.

This is recommended if the crockery is

not required immediately. This process

is extra to the wash programme.

The COLD PRE-WASH programme is

complete only when the programme se-

lector switch stops just before the start

point of the “UNIVERSAL PLUS” pro-

gramme.

Programme interruption

A programme is interrupted as soon as

the door is opened.

If the door is closed again the pro-

gramme will continue from the position

it was at when it was interrupted.

Warning

Water in the dishwasher may be

hot. Danger of scalding!

Only open the door if absolutely

necessary and exercise caution

when doing so.

Before closing the door leave it ajar

for approx. 20 secs. This will en-

able the temperature in the wash

cabinet to settle. Close the door

firmly making sure that it clicks into

place.

Switching on and off

33

Remove load

Hot crockery will chip and break

more easily.

After switching off let it cool down in

the dishwasher until it is comfortable

enough to handle, before you unload

it.

If you open the door fully after switch-

ing off, the crockery will cool down

much faster.

First unload the bottom basket, then

the upper basket and then the cut-

lery tray (if you have one) at the very

end.

This way you avoid water droplets

from the upper basket or the cutlery

tray falling on to crockery in the bot-

tom basket.

Remove load

34

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the filters in the wash

cabinet

The dishwasher must not be used

without all the filters in place!

The filter combination in the base of the

wash cabinet should be regularly in-

spected and cleaned if necessary.

Turn the handle anti-clockwise to re-

lease the filters.

Lift and take the filter combination out

of the machine. Remove coarse par-

ticles and rinse under running water.

Use a nylon brush if necessary.

Cleaning and care

35

Cleaning and care

Turn the filter combination over and

open the coarse filter by pulling

back on the locking device.

Clean the coarse filter under running

water, using a brush if necessary,

and press the locking device back in.

Important:

After cleaning make sure that the lock-

ing device is properly locked.

Replace the filter combination so

that it lies flat in the base of the wash

cabinet. Secure the filter by turning

the handle in a clockwise direction.

Cleaning and care

36

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can lodge in the spray

arm jets.

The spray arms should be inspected

and cleaned regularly (approx. every 6

months).

To do this remove the spray arms as fol-

lows.

Lift up the middle spray arm b to en-

gage the tooth-wheel mechanism.

Then unscrew the spray arm

c.

Remove the lower basket and take

out the

lower spray arm.

Dishwashers with cutlery basket:

Unscrew the upper spray arm.

Dishwashers with cutlery tray:

Pull out the cutlery tray.

Lift up the upper spray arm to en-

gage the tooth-wheel mechanism

and then unscrew the spray arm.

Using a sharp pointed object push

the food particles into the spray arm

jets and rinse well under running

water.

Please note:

After replacing the spray arms check

that they move freely.

Cleaning and care

37

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drain pump and

non-return valve

If 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 splinters,

which could cause injury.

Take the filter combination out of the

wash cabinet.

Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out

of the wash cabinet.

Raise the locking clamp.

Lift up the non-return valve and rinse

under running water.

The drain pump is situated under the

non-return valve (see arrow).

Before replacing the non-return valve

check that the drain pump impeller

turns with only slight resistance, and

that there is no obstruction.

Carefully replace the non-return

valve and secure with the locking

clamp.

Replace and secure the filter combi-

nation.

Cleaning and care

38

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the filter in the water

inlet

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.

The plastic housing of the water

connection contains an electrical

component. It must not be dipped

in water.

Fitting an in-line water filter

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.

These filters can be obtained from the

Miele Spares Department (Part No.:

75577).

To clean the filter

Disconnect the appliance from the

mains supply (switch off at the main

socket and pull out the plug, switch

off the appropriate circuit at the fuse-

box or withdraw the mains fuse).

Turn off the stopcock and unscrew

the inlet hose.

Carefully remove the rubber seal.

Withdraw the filter using pointed

pliers and clean by rinsing under run-

ning water.

Replace filter and seal. Make sure

they are sitting correctly!

Screw back into place on the water

inlet, taking care that it goes back on

straight.

Turn on the stopcock gradually to

test for leaks.

If there is a leak:

Screw the connections on more

tightly.

Cleaning and care

39

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the wash cabinet

In general the wash cabinet is self-

cleaning, provided that the correct

amount of dishwasher detergent is

used.

If however ther are time 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.

The facia panel

This should only be wiped with a

damp cloth, or a suitable plastic

cleaner.

Do not use an abrasive cleaner, a

glass cleaner or an all-purpose

cleaner. Because of their chemical

composition they could cause

serious damage to plastic surfaces.

The front of the dishwasher

Laminate fronts should be cleaned

using a suitable proprietary cleaning

agent.

Fronts made from wood should only

be cleaned using a damp cloth or

leather and dried with a soft cloth.

Do not use any cleaner containing

ammonia or thinners.

Cleaning and care

40

Checking the water level

If the water pressure (flow rate at the

take-off point) is too low, i.e. less than

1,0 bar, too little water will flow into the

wash cabinet.

To ensure an accurate assessment

open the stopcock fully and run the

COLD PRE-WASH programme once

(without crockery) to bring water into

the system.

Run the COLD PRE-WASH pro-

gramme again. After approx. 3

minutes open the door and remove

the bottom basket from the machine.

The water level is correct when dimen-

sion “X” is at least 4 mm.

If it measures less, then the water in-

take time must be increased.

Checking the water level

41

Increasing the water intake

time

Position the right hand switch verti-

cally and then pull it off.

Using a 4-5 mm wide screwdriver

turn the adjuster mechanism to the

right hand side of the spindle

carefully in an anti-clockwise direc-

tion until it checks into position.

= Anti-clockwise turn (increases

water intake – 2 min.)

= Clockwise turn (factory

setting – 1 min.)

Note:

If the water intake time has been in-

creased, then the water hardness selec-

tor must be reset at one grade higher

than that stated in chapter “Water sof-

tener” (except with setting 6).

Checking the water level

Installing “Freestanding” dishwashers

“Freestanding” dishwashers

The dishwasher must be installed

and levelled.

Any unevenness in the floor level

can be compensated for by adjust-

ing the four screw feet.

The adjustment range is approx. 1 cm

(85-86 cm total height).

Decor frame and decor panel

“Freestanding” dishwashers can be

subsequently fitted with a decor frame

(standard feature with some models

only).

This enables the front of the dish-

washer to be fitted with a decor panel

to match the kitchen furniture.

Decor panels up to 1 mm thick:

Decor panel dimensions:

587 x 603 x 1 mm.

Decor panels up 1 to 4 mm thick:

Decor panel dimensions:

587 x 599 x 1 - 4 mm

With decor panels 1 to 4 mm thick, an

extra decor frame adapter strip (spe-

cial accessory) must be fitted to the

control facia panel.

Screw on the lower decor strip b.

Insert the decor panel c.

Screw the side decor strips into posi-

tion.

Installing “Freestanding” dishwashers

49

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

The “i” model dishwashers are spe-

cially designed for building under a

continuous worktop.

The front can be fitted with a base unit

front to match the kitchen furniture.

By using a decor set GDU “i” model

dishwashers can be converted into a

built-under “U”model dishwasher.

The decor set is supplied with a separ-

ate installation instruction leaflet.

To ensure stability, these dish-

washers must only be installed

under a continuous worktop which

must be securely screwed to neigh-

bouring units.

Dimensions:

1) with 870 mm machine height

2) with 820 mm machine height

Range of adjustment approx. 5 cm (82-

87 cm total height).

Extended machine feet are available at

extra cost, (special accessory). These

can be used for a machine height of 87

to 92 cm.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

50

1.Fit worktop protection

A stainless steel “niro” coverplate is

supplied with the machine to protect

the underside of the worktop against

steam rising from the machine.

The coverplate is supplied as standard

with "i" models.

Squeeze sealant from the tube sup-

plied

b into the angle of the “niro”

plate.

Align the "niro" plate c to the front

edge of the worktop - see illustration -

and then use tacks supplied to nail

the “niro” plate to the underside of

the worktop.

On worktops with wood or laminate

edging, the tacks should be nailed

through the holes further back from

the edge.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

51

2.Building the dishwasher into

a niche

Connection to water and drainage

should be sited beside and not behind

the dishwasher for accessibility. Con-

nections are usually made in the area

under the sink. Many kitchen unit manu-

facturers provide a cutout in the base

of the sink base unit for the hoses to be

fed through.

If the base unit has no opening and if

there is not an opening through the plinth

area for connections, one must be cut.

Suggested dimensions: 60 x 110 mm.

For some installation steps it is

necessary to pull the dishwasher

slightly out of the recess. Therefore

do not make these connections until

last.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

52

The slides make installation of the dish-

washer easier and protect the floor

from possible damage when moving

the appliance into and out of the re-

cess. They are also used for adjusting

the height of the rear screw feet.

Adjust the height manually before in-

stalling the dishwasher. Leave a

space of approx. 5 mm below the

worktop to allow the dishwasher to

be pushed back easily into the re-

cess. Make sure that the dishwasher

stands level.

Press the slides - with the ratchet at

the rear - under the screw feet.

Push the dishwasher right back into

the recess. Ensure that drain hose,

inlet hose and electric cable are laid

to reach the connection point without

any kinks.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

53

Adjust the rear screw feet to the re-

quired height.

Higher = turn clockwise

Lower = turn anti-clockwise

Several turns are needed to adjust 1 mm

in height. A battery-powered screw-

driver could be used.

Adjust the front screw feet manually

or with a flat blade screwdriver.

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 with a screw-

driver against the cogs of the feet.

Screw the feet out until the dishwasher

is right up against the underside of the

worktop, to which it will be screwed

later. Ensure that the dishwasher

stands level.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

3. Fitting the facia panel

The facia panel is delivered separately

in the colour ordered with the relevant

accessories.

It has to be fitted to the dishwasher

when it is being installed.

Press out the adapter strips from the

fitting slits in the facia panel.

Fit the seal supplied b into the

groove surrounding the ventilation

grille

c.

Push the ventilation grille c into posi-

tion.

Place the facia panel d in position

and screw into place from the inside

of the door using the six screws

e.

Attach the switch knobs f.

Only applicable when using the GDU

decor set (to convert an "i" version to a

built-under "U" version)

If the GDU decor set is being used, the

adapter strips

g must first of all be

removed, and stored for possible use

in the future. See also the separate in-

structions for fitting the GDU decor set.

Press out the adapter strips from the

fitting slits in the facia panel.

4.Matching the facia panel to

the dimensions of the

adjacent drawer fronts

The facia panel can be aligned with the

drawer fronts of the kitchen units by ad-

justing the spacer bars.

Using an 8 mm socket spanner turn

5.Fitting the (matching) door

front

The door of a kitchen base unit (without

the drawer facia or fittings) is normally

used for the door front.

The door front is fixed to the machine

door outer panel using a fixing bracket

which has to be pre-mounted on the

rear of the door front.

Fixing brackets are already fitted on to

the stainless steel door front. This front

cannot be shortened.

Door fronts differ in weight and it is

therefore essential that the door

springs are adjusted (see Step 6)

after the door front has been fitted.

Calculate dimension “X” and make a

note of it before attaching the fixing

bracket.

Dimension “X” is the dimension shown

on the illustration between the drill hole

in the outer door panel and the lower

edge of the neighbouring unit door(s).

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

57

Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers

Lay the door front with the rear side

facing upwards.

Using a pencil draw a vertical line

down the middle of the door to use

as a guide line.

Draw a horizontal guide line across

the door, at a distance from the lower

edge of the front panel equalling the

previously measured dimension “X” .

The fixing bracket is marked in the

middle

A

.

Lay the bracket on the rear side of

the door front so that the marks

A

in

the middle of the fixing bracket align

with the vertical guide line, and the

lower fixing holes of the bracket are

centrally positioned in the horizontal

guide line (see illustration). Use

strips of adhesive tape to hold the

bracket in this position.

Drill the fixing holes to a depth of

about 10 mm, using a 2.5 mm drill bit.

Secure the bracket to the door using

the screws supplied.

Double check for correct alignment

before building into the recess.

Pull the dishwasher out of its recess

enough to allow easy access to the

side fixing screws for the door front.

Hang the door front into the slits in

the machine door outer panel, adjust

for height and secure.

Secure the door front by turning the

screws clockwise at each side of the

machine door outer panel.

Plug the openings for the fixing

screws using the plastic stoppers

provided.

6.Adjusting the door springs

The door springs are correctly adjusted

when a half opened door (approx. 45°

opening angle) remains in that position

when released.

If the door drops down, then the door

springs need to be tightened.

If, however, it rises up, then the springs

need to be released.

The adjusting screw is located in the

upper front strip at the left hand side of

the dishwasher.

Open the dishwasher door.

Adjust the door spring until it is cor-

rectly balanced:

– turn clockwise = tighten

– turn anti-clockwise = loosen.

Push the dishwasher back into its

recess.

7.Level and secure the

dishwasher

To ensure the stability of the dish-

washer it must be screwed to the con-

tinuous worktop after it has been posi-

tioned.

Half open the dishwasher door.

Screw one of the 4 x 15 screws (sup-

plied) from below into the holes in

the right and left hand side of the

upper strip.

Do not lift the dishwasher to do this.

If necessary, screw the feet out fur-

ther.

If one of the screw positions is in the

cut-out area, e.g. of the built-in sink, at-

tach the fixing bracket supplied.

Pull the dishwasher approx. 5-10 cm

out of the recess.

Position the fixing bracket.

Push the dishwasher back into the re-

cess, adjust and screw into position

with a (3.9 x 22) screw.

For “Corian” or granite worktops there

is a special accessory to fix the dish-

washer to an adjacent kitchen unit.

Pull the dishwasher approx. 5-10 cm

out of its niche.

Fit the lug of each fixing bracket into

the guide hole on top of the dish-

washer, and then swing to the left or

right side respectively.

Push the dishwasher back into the

niche, align, and fix to the adjacent

kitchen unit(s) with 2 screws (3.5 x 15)

for each bracket.

8.Matching the plinth facia of a

kitchen run

The plinth area of the dishwasher is nor-

mally covered with a plinth run match-

ing the kitchen furniture.

The height (H) of the plinth facia around

the dishwasher depends on the plinth

return (R) and how much the door front

extends below the dishwasher door (P).

Place the plinth facia directly in front

of the kitchen run but do not attach.

Carefully open the dishwasher door.

If the door front comes into contact with

the kitchen plinth when the dishwasher

door is opened the plinth facia in the

area around the dishwasher door

needs to be cut to size.

To do this mark where the edge of

the door front comes into contact

with the plinth facia.

Cut the plinth facia to size along this

line.

Place the plinth facia in front of the

kitchen run again and check whether

the dishwasher door can be opened

fully.

If it cannot, trim the plinth facia to the

correct size.

Secure the plinth facia to the ad-

jacent kitchen units.

If your kitchen does not have a plinth

run matching the kitchen furniture, the

plinth area can be covered with a sep-

arate plinth kit, available at extra cost.

Electrical connection

Please follow the installation instruc-

tions carefully.

This dishwasher is supplied ready

for connection to an a.c. single

phase supply, (230 - 240 V 50 Hz for

the UK and Australia). It is supplied

with a mains cable and moulded

plug.

All electrical work should be carried

out by a competent person in ac-

cordance with national and local

regulations. Connection should be

made via a fused plug and suitable

switched socket which is easily ac-

cessible.

For extra safety it is advisable to in-

stall a residual current device (RCD)

with a trip current of 30 mA.

The voltage, rated load and fuse

rating are given on the data plate.

Please ensure that these match the

household mains supply.

Non rewireable plugs BS 1363

If this machine or appliance is fitted

with a non-rewireable plug, the follow-

ing information applies:

If the socket outlets are not suitable for

the plug supplied with this product, it

must be cut off and an appropriate

plug fitted.

The plug cut from the flexible cord

should be disposed of and on no ac-

count be inserted into a socket else-

where in the house (electric shock ha-

zard).

The fuse cover must be refitted when

changing the fuse, and if the fuse

cover is lost, the plug must not be used

until a suitable replacement is ob-

tained. The colour of the correct re-

placement cover is that of the coloured

insert in the base of the plug, or the col-

our that is embossed in words in the

base of the plug (as applicable to the

design of plug fitted).

The correct fuse rating of the replace-

ment fuses that are ASTA approved to

BS 1362 should be fitted. Replace-

ment fuse covers may be purchased

from your local electrical suppliers, or

Miele Service Agent.

(The German standard version is sup-

plied with a cable and moulded plug

for connection to a 230 V single phase

supply. It must only be connected via

a fused 16 A socket).

Plumbing

Connection to the water inlet

Water in the dishwasher must not

be used as drinking water.

The dishwasher may be connected to

a cold or hot water supply, max. 60°C.

Connection to a hot water supply

would save energy costs and time.

When connected to a hot water sup-

ply all programme stages which

would otherwise be carried out with

cold water (pre-wash and interim

rinse) as well as the COLD PRE-

WASH will be carried out with hot

water.

The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long;

a longer hose (4 m) may be bought

from the Miele Spare Parts Dept.

A stopcock with a 3/4" male thread

must be provided on site.

The dishwasher is constructed to

comply with DVGW regulations, and

may be connected to a suitable sup-

ply without an extra non-return valve

provided that national regulations

allow this.

The water pressure (flow rate at the

take-off point) must be between 1.0

and 10 bar pressure.

If the water pressure is too low the

water intake time must be increased

(see chapter “Checking the water

level”).

If the water pressure is too high, a

pressure reducer valve must be fitted.

The water inlet hose must not be

shortened or damaged in any way

(see illustration).

Connect the inlet hose with the “Water-

proof-System” preferably vertically

(use an angle connector if necessary).

If this is not possible, it can be in-

stalled horizontally, but it is essen-

tial that the main body of the “Water-

proof valve” box is above the hose

exit (see illustration). The ’lightning’

power symbol should be above the

water flow ’arrow’.

Plumbing

65

There must be a distance of at

least 20 cm between the floor and

the bottom of the “Waterproof” unit

housing, for either vertical or hori-

zontal installation.

If the stopcock is situated in the

worktop, a special angle connector

can be ordered from the Miele Spare

Parts Dept. (Part No. 2078910).

Lay the hose in such a way that it

does not rise above the bottom of

the “Waterproof” unit casing (see il-

lustration).

Drainage

The machine drainage system is

fitted with a non-return valve, which

prevents dirty water from flowing

back into the machine via the drain

hose.

The dishwasher is supplied with ap-

prox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose

with an internal diameter of 22 mm.

The drain hose can be extended

using a connection piece and an

extra drain hose, (up to max. 4

metres).

If the hose is to be directly fitted to

the drainage outlet on site, use the

hose clip supplied.

The connection socket on the dish-

washer can be turned. The hose can

thus be laid to the right or left without

needing to loosen the hose clip.

The drain system must not exceed

4 metres. The drain pump has a

maximum delivery head of 1 metre.

The drain hose must not be short-

ened.

Venting the drainage system

Open the dishwasher door fully.

If the site drain connection is situated

lower than the guide path for the bot-

tom basket rollers in the open door the

drainage system must be vented.

Otherwise a siphoning effect during a

programme can cause the machine to

empty itself of water.

To vent:

Cut off the top of the vent valve in

the wash cabinet.
