Warning and Safety instructions 11Technical safety Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be danger‐ ous. Installati on, maintenance work and repairs to electrical applian‐ ces must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician. Befor e installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of dam‐ age. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dishwash‐ er. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. The ele ctrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the elec‐ trical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electri‐ cian. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock). Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assur‐ ed if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply. The dishwasher must on ly be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be discon‐ nected from the electricity supply at any time. Ther e must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Dan‐ ger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug. The dishwasher must no t be installed under a cooktop. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktop could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason, it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as heaters etc.
Warning and Safety instructions 12 To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequen‐ cy) matches the mains electricity supply before connecting the dish‐ washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt. Do not con nect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door springs. The dishwasher may on ly be operated if the door opening mecha‐ nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of injury whilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is active. To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly: – the door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They ar e correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the door cannot fall open. – the door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens at the end of the dr ying phase. Do not con nect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). This applianc e must not be installed and operated in mobile in‐ stallations (e.g. on a ship). Do not insta ll the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point. T o avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system. The plastic ho using of the water connection contains an electrical valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.
Warning and Safety instructions 13 There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the water inlet hose, even if it is too long. The int egrated 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 wher e it can be seen that this is necessary.– The tap has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays). The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off. However , the appliance must remain connected to the electricity supply. The wat er pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must be between 30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar). A d amaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains and call Miele. The manu facturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician. F aulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appli‐ ance when Miele replacement parts are used. During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele au‐ thorised service technician only in order to avoid a hazard.
Warning and Safety instructions
14 In 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 warranty. Correct installation
The dishwasher must be install
ed and connected in compliance
with the installation instructions. Be car
eful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protective
gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components. The dishwasher must be corr
ectly aligned to ensure problem-free
operation. In or
der to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwash‐
ers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is se‐
cured to adjacent cabinetry. If
you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-un‐
der ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion
kit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a U-
model plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused by
protruding metal parts. The door spring
s on either side need to be evenly adjusted. They
are correctly adjusted if the half-opened door (approx. 45° door
opening angle) remains in this position when it is released. The door
must not fall down under its own weight.
The appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted door
springs.
Warning and Safety instructions 15Correct use Do not use sol vents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion! Do not inh ale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive in‐ gredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Seek medical advice immedi‐ ately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled, e.g. Poisons Infor‐ mation Centre (Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ). A void leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip over it and be injured by it. Do not sit or lea n on the opened door. This could cause the dish‐ washer to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured. Dishes can be very hot at the end of a programme. Allow them to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading. Only use det ergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish‐ washers. Do not use washing-up liquid. Do not use co mmercial or industrial detergents as these may cause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical re‐ action (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction). Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause serious damage to the reservoir. Inadver tently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dish‐ washer detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir! Only use special coa rse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
Warning and Safety instructions 16 In an app liance with a cutlery basket (depending on model) cut‐ lery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place knives and forks etc. with the handles upwards. Plastic it ems which cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as disposable plastic containers, or plastic cutlery and crock‐ ery should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape. If you use the "FlexiTimer/Delay start" option (depending on mod‐ el), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dis‐ penser and may not be thoroughly dispersed. Please obser ve the information given in "Technical data" regard‐ ing the capacity of the dishwasher. Accessories Use only ge nuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or ac‐ cessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be in‐ validated, and Miele cannot accept liability. Disposal of your old dishwasher Mak e the door lock inoperative so that children cannot acciden‐ tally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the appliance.
Caring for the environment 17Disposal of the packing mate‐ rial The packaging is designed to protect the appliance fr om damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. The packaging consists of the following mat erials: Outer packaging: – Corrugated cardboard made from up t o 100% recyclable material: or: Polyethylene (PE) shrink wrap – Polyproplylene (PP) strapping Inner packaging: – Chlorine and fluorine free expanded polystyr ene (EPS)– Base, lid frame and support battens made fr om untreated natural wood from renewable forests – Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap Recycling the packaging reduces the use of r aw materials in the manufactur‐ ing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are recycled. E nsure that any plastic wrap‐ pings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Disposing of your old appli‐ ance Electrical and electronic appliances of‐ t en contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐ tentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste. Please dispose of it at your local com‐ muni ty waste collection / recycling cen‐ tre. Ensure that your old appliance presents no dange r to children while being stor‐ ed for disposal. To enable sorting by type of plastic for r ecycling, all plastic parts of the appli‐ ance are labelled with international standard symbols.
Caring for the environment 18Energy-saving dishwashing This dishwasher is exceptionally eco‐ nomi cal in its use of water and electrici‐ ty. You can make the most of your appli‐ ance by following these tips: – For most economical dishwashing, mak e full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher. – Choose the programme to suit the type of cr ockery being washed and the degree of soiling. – Select the ECO pr ogramme for ener‐ gy-saving dishwashing. This pro‐ gramme is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption at cleaning normally soiled crockery. – Follow the detergent manufacturer's r ecommendations on detergent dos‐ age. – When using powder or liquid deter‐ gent you can use 1 /3 less det ergent if baskets are only half full. – If your household water system is suitable, this dishwasher can be con‐ nect ed to a hot water supply for fur‐ ther economies. If the water is heated by solar panels, for example, this would be energy efficient. However, if your water is heated by electricity, we would recommend connection to cold water. You can find further tips on energy- saving dishwashing in "Miele's guide t o dishwashing".
Before using for the first time 19Opening the door To open the door, reach under the door grip and pull. If the door is opened during operation, all func tions are automatically interrup‐ ted. W ater in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding! Only open the door during operation if absolu tely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Closing the door P ush the baskets right in. T hen lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position. Dang er of injury! Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing. Safety lock Use the safety lock to prevent children o pening the dishwasher door. T o lock the door, push the slide un‐ derneath the door grip to the right. T o unlock the door, push the slide to the left.
Before using for the first time 20Water softener In order to achieve good cleaning re‐ sults, the dishwasher needs t o operate with soft water. Hard water results in a build-up of calcium deposits on crock‐ ery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level high‐ er than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) 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 12.6 mmol/l (70 °d - German scale). – The water softener requires dish‐ washer salt. Dependin g on the water hardness level (< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - Ger‐ man scale), dishwasher salt is not re‐ quired if combination tablets are be‐ ing used (see "Operation - Deter‐ gent"). – The dishwasher must be program‐ med for the wat er hardness level in your area. – Your local water authority will be able t o advise you of the water hardness level in your area. – Where the water hardness fluctuates, e.g. between 1.8 and 2.7 mmol/l (10 - 15 °d - German scale), always pr o‐ gramme the dishwasher to the higher value (2.7 mmol/l or 15 °d in this ex‐ ample). In the event 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: ____________mmol/l The dishwasher is programmed at the fact ory for a water hardness level of 0.2 mmol/l (1 °d - German scale). If this setting corresponds to the hard‐ ness of your wat er, you do not need to do anything more. However, if you have a different water har dness, you must adjust the water softener to match your water hardness.
