To lock the door, push the slide underneath the recessed grip to the right. To unlock the door, push the slide to the left.
• Page 22: Before using for the first time Your dishwasher is equipped with an integrated WiFi module. To use this feature, you will need a WiFi network, the Miele app, and a Miele user account. The ability to use the Miele app depends on the availability of the Miele@home service in your country. The Miele app will guide you as you connect your dishwasher to your home WiFi network. Once your dishwasher is connected to your WiFi network, you can use the app to control your dishwasher remotely. The Miele app is available to download free of charge from the Apple App Store or from the Google Play Store. Connecting your dishwasher to your WiFi network will increase energy consumption, even when the dishwasher is turned off. Make sure that your WiFi network signal strength is strong enough at the installation site of your dishwasher.

• Page 24: Before using for the first time Setting the time Setting the water hardness The dishwasher must be programmed to the correct water hardness for your area. Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area. The current time of day must be set before you can use the timer option. Where the water hardness fluctuates, always program the dishwasher to the higher value. It is useful to know your water hardness so that you can provide the service technician with this information. The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 1 gpg (1 °dH). See “Water hardness” under “Settings” for more information.
• Page 25: Before using for the first time Activating AutoDos The display changes to the settings screen for AutoDos. After confirming these prompts with OK, the messages Refill salt and Add rinse aid may appear. You must remove the transport locking device from the PowerDisk compartment before running the first program. Add salt and rinse aid if necessary. Select OK to confirm the messages. You can activate AutoDos. The program selected will appear briefly in the display. If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you can manually dispense the detergent via the detergent compartment. Select the setting you want and confirm with OK.
• Page 26: Before using for the first time If the water in your area is very soft and constantly lower than 5 gpg (5 °dH – German scale), you do not need to add reactivation salt. To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on dishes and on the inner surfaces of the machine. Domestic water with a hardness level higher than 5 gpg (5 °dH – German scale) must be softened. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 73 gpg (70 °dH – German scale). Dishwasher detergent will damage the softener assembly. Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt. If you only ever use combination detergent products in your dishwasher, you can turn off both refill reminders if you wish. Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid.
• Page 27: Before using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 1/2 gallon (2 l) of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used once, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir. Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with re-activation salt until the reservoir is full. The salt reservoir holds up to 4.4 lb (2 kg) of salt, depending on the type of salt used. Danger of corrosion due to saline solution. The cap should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir. Clean off salt residues from around the salt reservoir opening. Immediately after filling the salt reservoir and each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, run the Quick-IntenseWash program without wash items in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
• Page 28: Before using for the first time Refilling the salt The refill indicator may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. Fill the salt reservoir with reactivation salt when Refill salt appears in the display. Confirm with OK. The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 5 gpg (5 °dH – German scale). Danger of corrosion due to saline solution. Salt solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items. Each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, you must run the QuickIntenseWash program without wash items in the dishwasher.
• Page 29: Before using for the first time Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water does not cling and leave marks on dishes during the drying phase. Rinse aid helps dishes dry faster after they have been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the container and the amount set is dispensed automatically. If you only ever use combination detergent products containing salt and rinse aid, you can turn off both refill reminders. Liquid dish soap and detergent can damage the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Please make sure that if you stop using combination detergents, you refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid. The dishwasher can be damaged by high concentrations of acid. Under no circumstances should you use citric acid with a higher acid content.
• Page 30: Before using for the first time Adding rinse aid Close the lid firmly until you hear it click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a program. Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents excess foam developing during the next program. You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best wash results. When Add rinse aid appears in the display, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2–3 programs only. Press the yellow button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir. Add rinse aid in plenty of time. Confirm with OK. The lid will spring open. Fill with rinse aid until the filling level indicator changes to a dark color while the door is horizontally open. The rinse aid reservoir holds approximately 110 ml.
• Page 31: Changing settings allows you to alter the dishwasher’s controls to suit changing requirements. Use the sensor buttons to select the menu option you want to change and confirm your selection with OK. The settings can be altered at any time. Sub-menu options that have already been selected will have a check beside them. To open the settings menu, turn the dishwasher on with the sensor button if it is turned off. Select the setting you want using the sensor buttons and confirm with OK. Touch the “Additional programs/Settings” sensor button to access more options. To exit a sub-menu, use the Back sensor button. To close the settings menu, touch the Back sensor button. For further information about the display functionality, see “Display functions” under “Guide to the appliance.”
• Page 32: Settings Language The display can be set to appear in several different languages. You can change the language used in the display and also the country via the Language sub-menu. Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener. The dishwasher must be programmed to the correct water hardness for your area. Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area. Where the water hardness fluctuates, always program the dishwasher to the higher value. The current time of day must be set before you can use the timer option. You can select either a 24-hour or 12-hour clock. You can set the current time of day. The time of day has now been saved.
• Page 33: Setting the water hardness Select the water hardness level in your area and confirm with OK. AutoDos automatically adjusts the amount of detergent to the selected program. In the Auto program, the quantity is adjusted depending on the degree of soiling of the dishware. If you want to extend the service life of the PowerDisk, you can reduce the dispensing quantity. The program’s cleaning performance may decrease as a result. If you want to improve the cleaning performance, you can increase the dispensing quantity. This reduces the service life of the PowerDisk. Setting the Dosage amount For best results, you can adjust the dispensing quantity of the PowerDisk. Select the Dosage amount menu option and confirm with OK. Select the setting you want and confirm with OK.
• Page 34: Settings You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results. Your dishwasher is equipped with an integrated WiFi module. The rinse aid dosage can be set from 0 to 6 ml. 3 ml is the factory default setting. You can connect your dishwasher to your WiFi network. This will increase the energy consumption, even when the dishwasher is turned off. The rinse aid dosage can turn out to be higher than the set value due to the automatic adjustment of the program. If spots appear on dishes and glassware, increase the rinse aid dosage. If clouding or smearing appears on dishes and glassware, decrease the rinse aid dosage. Make sure that your WiFi network signal strength is strong enough at the installation site of your dishwasher.

• Page 45: Caring for the environment If you are manually dosing the detergent, reduce the amount of detergent by 1/3 when using powder or liquid detergent if the baskets are only half full. Energy-saving dishwashing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing by hand. There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water, and this unnecessarily increases water and energy consumption. Make full use of the basket capacity without overloading the dishwasher. Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed. Select the Normal program for energy-saving dishwashing. If you have a hot water connection, choose the Energy Saver program. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations on detergent dosage.
• Page 46: Loading the dishwasher requires ensuring that spray arms are not blocked by tall items. Remove coarse food residues from dishes without pre-rinsing under running water. Small items should be placed in the 3D Multi-Flex Tray or cutlery basket to prevent them from falling through. Certain substances like ash, sand, and paint can contaminate the dishwasher and should not be washed. Natural dyes in foods may discolor plastic items, but this does not affect their stability. Dishes can be loaded anywhere, but they should not cover one another. Load dishes to allow water access to all surfaces for proper cleaning. Ensure all items are securely positioned in the dishwasher. Hollow items must be inverted in the baskets for effective cleaning. Tall, narrow hollow items should be placed in the center of the basket for better access to water jets.
• Page 47: Loading the dishwasher Wash items not suitable for dishwashers: Damage due to caustic alkaline detergents. Wooden cutlery and dishes or items with wooden parts may discolor and fade. Aluminum parts can be damaged by caustic alkaline detergents, risking an explosive chemical reaction. Craft items, antiques, valuable vases, and decorative glassware are not suitable for dishwashers. Plastic items that are not heat resistant may melt or lose shape in high temperatures. When purchasing new dishes and cutlery, ensure they are dishwasher-proof. Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing in the dishwasher. Select a special glass-care program with very low temperatures to reduce the risk of clouding. Silver that has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolor. Use detergents with glass protective additives.

Pull the insert inward by the yellow handle to adjust its position.
• Page 58: Detergents come in different types, including powder and liquid gel. These detergents allow adjustment of the amount dispensed based on wash items and soiling level. Using unsuitable detergents can cause damage to the dishwasher or wash items. Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Combination products contain rinse aid and water softener and should be used according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Modern detergents contain active ingredients such as water softening agents, alkalis, enzymes, and oxygen-based bleaching agents. Enzymes help break down starch and loosen protein for better cleaning. The cleaning and drying performance of combination detergents can vary significantly. For optimal results, use dishwasher detergent along with salt and rinse aid separately. Most dishwasher detergents are mildly alkaline and include enzymes and oxygen-based bleaching agents.
• Page 59: Detergent dispensing Risk of chemical burns from detergent. There are 2 ways of dispensing the detergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat. During automatic dispensing, the AutoDos function will automatically dispense the required amount of detergent for each program sequence once a PowerDisk has been inserted. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powder detergents. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you can manually dispense the detergent into the detergent compartment. Keep children away from detergents.
• Page 60: Detergents Activating AutoDos Before you can use AutoDos, you must insert a PowerDisk containing powder detergent into the PowerDisk compartment. Before you first use AutoDos, remove the transport lock from the PowerDisk compartment and dispose of it appropriately. One PowerDisk contains enough detergent for approx. 20 rinse cycles, depending on the chosen program. PowerDisks are available to order directly from Miele’s online store, Miele Customer Service, or from your Miele dealer. The AutoDos function will be activated automatically. This setting applies to all programs and you can change it at any time using the AutoDos sensor button. Detergents have a caustic effect, which can cause health problems and damage to surfaces. Always remove residual detergent from in front of the dishwasher immediately. If no program is started for 48 hours, the PowerDisk will automatically be rotated so that the detergent does not clump together.
• Page 61: Detergents Inserting a PowerDisk Turn on the dishwasher before you replace the PowerDisk so that the dishwasher recognizes it. Only replace the PowerDisk when the message PowerDisk empty. Deactivate AutoDos with OK. appears. If the arrows in the PowerDisk holder and in the viewing window are not pointing toward each other, remove the PowerDisk holder. Put the holder back into place so that the arrows point toward each other and the holder lies flat. When doing this, only touch the PowerDisk holder by the yellow tab in the middle. Do not touch the side tab. Turn the AutoDos lid to open it. The message AutoDos lid open will appear on the display. Insert the new PowerDisk and press it evenly downward until it sits flush. Remove the empty PowerDisk.
• Page 62: Detergents The detergent powder must be dry so that it does not clump together. Do not fill the AutoDos system with any type of fluid. Check the AutoDos each time you replace the PowerDisk and clean it if needed. Close the AutoDos lid and turn it until the lid handle is directly below the symbol. If the PowerDisk is not in the correct starting position, it will be rotated automatically. Wait until the procedure ends before you start a program. The AutoDos lid must be closed to prevent damage to the AutoDos. Always close the AutoDos lid before you close the dishwasher door. Programs cannot start when the AutoDos lid is open.
• Page 63: Detergents Adding detergent Manual detergent dispensing Detergent must be manually dispensed if you have deactivated automatic dispensing. The detergent compartment holds a maximum of 3 1/2 tablespoons. There are marks in the detergent compartment to aid with dispensing. Press the yellow button on the lid of the detergent compartment. Follow the detergent dosage recommended by the manufacturer. Use one detergent tab or add 1 1/4 to 2 tablespoons of detergent. If you use less than the recommended amount of detergent, the dishware may not get properly clean. Push the lid shut until you hear it click into place.
• Page 64: Detergents The detergent must not cause the detergent-compartment lid to get stuck. Do not overfill the detergent compartment. If you wish, deactivate automatic dispensing/AutoDos. Ensure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use. This prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together. You can also apply a small amount of detergent to the inner panel of the door in programs that have a pre-rinse stage.
• Page 65: Operation Turning on the dishwasher Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. Choose your program according to the type of load and the degree of soiling. Close the door.

• Page 67: Operation The audible signal might sound at the end of the program. To save energy, the dishwasher will turn off automatically 10 minutes after the last time a sensor button is pressed or after the end of a program. The program has ended when the display shows the message Ready. You can turn the dishwasher back on again with the sensor button. In some programs, if the AutoOpen function is activated, the door will automatically open slightly. This improves the drying process. The drying fan may continue to run for a few minutes at the end of the program. The dishwasher will not turn itself off while a program is running or if there is a fault. Risk of damage due to steam. Make sure that you open the door fully if you have deactivated the automatic door-opening function.
• Page 68: Operation Turning off the dishwasher The dishwasher can be turned off at any time using the sensor button. Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them. Turning the dishwasher off during a program stops the program. The dishes will cool much faster if you open the door when the program has ended. First unload the lower basket, then the upper basket, and finally the 3D MultiFlex tray (if present). This will prevent water drops from the upper basket and 3D MultiFlex tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket. Risk of damage from leaking water. Leaking water can cause damage. If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a longer period of time, the water shut-off valve should be turned off.

• Page 110: Installation A water supply with 3/8 compression connection must be provided on site. Only a qualified installer may connect the dishwasher to the domestic water supply if the required faucet is not available. Risk of damage due to excessive pressure can occur, which may damage components of the dishwasher. This dishwasher must only be operated when connected to a fully vented plumbing system. A back-flow preventer may be required by local code regulations. The water-connection pressure needs to be between 7.25 and 145 psi (50 and 1,000 kPa). If the water-connection pressure is too high, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted. The intake hose must not be shortened or damaged in any way. Do not sit the dishwasher on the hose, and ensure the hose is free of kinks. Open the water supply slowly and check for leaks to prevent damage.
• Page 111: Installation Water drainage Lay the drain hose so that it does not kink and is not being subjected to pressure or tugged. The appliance drainage system has a non-return valve, which prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose. Leaking water can cause damage. After servicing the appliance, ensure that the drain does not leak. The hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 13 ft (4 m) and the delivery head no higher than 3 ft (1 m). If the hose is to be directly connected to the drainage outlet on site, use the supplied hose clip. Only use a Miele approved connection piece when extending the drain line. Only use a Miele extension drain hose.
• Page 112: Installation Venting the water drainage If the on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide path for the lower basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise, a siphoning effect during a program can cause the appliance to empty itself of water. Open the dishwasher door fully. Remove the lower basket. Insert a screwdriver into the middle opening of the vent valve in the left wash cabinet wall. Press the screwdriver further into the opening and push it through the membrane behind. The vent opening for the water drain is now open.
