• Page 29: Before using for the first time The Wi-Fi connection shares a frequency range with other appliances, which can cause sporadic or complete connection failures. Your dishwasher is equipped with an integrated WiFi module. To use this feature, you will need a WiFi network and the Miele app. A Miele user account can be created via the Miele app. 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 control your dishwasher remotely. 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 31: 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 32: Before using for the first time Activating AutoDos Prompts will then appear in the display. The display changes to the settings screen for AutoDos. After confirming these prompts with OK, the messages Refill salt and start the “Rinse salt” program and Refill rinse aid may appear. Even if you do not wish to use AutoDos, you must remove the tab from the AutoDos lid before running the first program sequence. Add salt and rinse aid if necessary. Select OK to confirm the messages. You can activate AutoDos. If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you can manually dispense the detergent via the detergent compartment. The display will change to the Programs menu.
• Page 33: 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. In order 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 34: Before using for the first time, fill the salt reservoir with approximately 1.5 L of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with dishwasher 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. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened, which can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items. Clean off salt residues from around the salt reservoir opening and screw the salt reservoir cap on again firmly. Fill the salt reservoir with approximately 1.5 L of water (first use only). Immediately after filling the salt reservoir and each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, run the rinse salt program without wash items in the dishwasher.
• Page 35: 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. When the refill reminder appears in the display, wait until the end of the program and then refill the salt reservoir. The salt refill reminder will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 5 gr/gal. The salt refill indicator will go out. Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items. Run the Rinse salt program without wash items in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the wash cabinet.
• Page 36: 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. For optimum rinsing and drying results, use dishwasher detergent and add reactivation salt and rinse aid separately. 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. Liquid dish soap and detergent can damage the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. If you stop using combination detergents, refill the reactivation salt and rinse aid. Turn the refill reminders back on if required. The dishwasher can be damaged by high concentrations of acid. Under no circumstances should you use citric acid with a higher acid content.
• Page 37: Before using for the first time Adding rinse aid Wipe up any spilled rinse aid to prevent excess foam during the next program. You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best wash results. When Refill rinse aid appears in the display, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2–3 programs only. Add rinse aid in plenty of time. Press the yellow button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir. The rinse-aid refill indicator will go out when filled. Fill with rinse aid until the filling level indicator changes to a dark color. The rinse aid reservoir holds approximately 110 ml. Close the lid firmly until you hear it click into place to prevent water from entering the reservoir.
• Page 38: Changing settings You can alter the dishwasher’s controls to suit changing requirements by adjusting the settings. The selected setting is marked in orange. The settings can be altered at any time. Change the value displayed and confirm with OK. Opening the Settings menu Turn the dishwasher on using the sensor control. The Programs menu will appear in the display. To exit a sub-menu again, use the Back sensor button.

• Page 39: Settings Language The current time of day must be set before you can use the timer option. The display can be set to appear in one of several different languages. You can change the language used in the display and also the country via the Language sub-menu. You can select either a 24-hour or 12-hour clock. The flag after the word Language serves as a guide if a language that you do not understand has been set. Keep selecting the menu option that has a flag after it until you reach the Language sub-menu. Select the setting you want for the clock format. You can set the current time of day. Set the hours and the minutes and confirm by pressing OK. The time of day has now been saved.
• Page 40: 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. If the water hardness in your area is available in a unit other than °dH, you can convert the values. 1 °dH = 1.04 gpg = 0.18 mmol/l = 1.78 °fH.
• Page 41: Settings Setting the water hardness You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results. Select the water hardness level in your area and confirm with OK. The rinse aid dosage can be set from 0 to 6 ml. AutoDos automatically adjusts the amount of detergent to the selected program. 3 ml is the factory default setting. 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. For best results, you can adjust the dispensing quantity of the PowerDisk. Select the Dosage amount menu option.
• Page 42: Settings Your dishwasher is equipped with an integrated Wi-Fi module. The Miele app is available to download free of charge from the Apple App Store or from the Google Play Store. You can connect your dishwasher to your Wi-Fi network. This will increase the energy consumption, even when the dishwasher is turned off. Select the App menu option and confirm with OK.

• Page 55: Caring for the environment 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. Reduce the amount of detergent by 1/3 when using powder or liquid detergent if the baskets are only half full.
• Page 56: Loading the dishwasher The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. Remove coarse food residues from dishware. There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water. Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the baskets. Damage can be caused by ash, sand, wax, lubricant, or paint. Some foods may contain natural dyes that can discolor plastic items in the dishwasher. Do not wash items soiled with these substances in the dishwasher. Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but certain notes should be observed. Load the dishware so that water can access all surfaces. Hollow items such as cups and glasses must be inverted in the baskets.
• Page 57: Loading the dishwasher Wash items not suitable for dishwashers: - 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 glasses are not dishwasher-safe. - Plastic items that are not heat resistant may melt or lose shape. - Copper, brass, tin, and aluminum items may discolor or become dull. Tip: When purchasing new dishware and cutlery, ensure they are dishwasher-safe. - Colors painted over a glaze may fade after a number of rinses. - Delicate glasses and glassware containing lead crystal may cloud over time. Glass care Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing in the dishwasher. When washing delicate glassware, select a special glass-care program with very low temperatures to reduce the risk of clouding.

Select the Filters program for optimum dishwashing results. If you only want to wash 2 filters, put them in the upper basket. Protruding parts can damage the dishwasher; load the filters so that no corners protrude over the side of the basket. Heavy and sharp wash items can damage the coating of the basket struts; load the filters carefully. Set the upper basket into the top or middle position if you load filters in the lower basket. At the end of the program, the filters may still contain hot water; be careful when unloading the filters.
• Page 71: Loading the dishwasher involves pushing the left insert to accommodate tall items and long stemmed glasses in the upper basket. Cutlery should be arranged in the cutlery tray as shown. For the 3D MultiFlex Tray, utensils should be grouped in zones for easier unloading. Large and long utensils can be placed in the recessed center part of the tray. Tall items should be arranged so they do not block the upper spray arm. Spoon heads should contact at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray for proper water runoff. The height of the right-hand insert can be adjusted for larger utensil items or smaller dishes. If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, they can be laid the other way round. The insert can be pulled inward by the yellow handle and clicked into place in one of the two positions.
• Page 72: Detergents There are different types of cleaning agents. Damage caused by using unsuitable cleaning agents. Cleaning agents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the wash items. Powder and liquid gel cleaning agents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the load size and the level of soiling. Tab cleaning agents are suitable for most levels of soiling. Only use cleaning agents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Combination products contain rinse aid and water softener. Modern cleaning agents contain various active ingredients. The cleaning and drying performance of combination cleaning agents can vary greatly. For optimum cleaning and drying results, use dishwasher cleaning agent and add salt and rinse aid separately.
• Page 73: Detergent dispensing There are 2 ways of dispensing the detergent. Risk of chemical burns from detergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powder detergents. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. During automatic dispensing, the AutoDos function will automatically dispense the required amount of detergent. If you do not wish to use AutoDos, you can manually dispense the detergent into the detergent compartment. Keep children away from detergents.
• Page 74: 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 tab from the AutoDos lid and dispose of the tab appropriately. One PowerDisk contains enough detergent for approx. 20 rinse cycles, depending on the chosen program. Insert a PowerDisk. 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 in a program’s Options menu. Risk of chemical burns from residual detergent.

• Page 128: Installation The dishwasher may be connected to cold or hot water supplies. It is recommended to connect to a cold water connection to reduce energy consumption. If energy-saving water-heating sources are used, it is recommended to connect to the hot water connection. Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water. The quality of the incoming water must correspond to the drinking water regulations of the country. The EnergySaver program requires a hot water connection between a minimum of 113°F/45°C and a maximum of 140°F/60°C. Connect the dishwasher to a drinking water supply. The higher the water intake temperature, the better the cleaning and drying results. The water inlet hose is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) long. A flexible metal extension hose is available as an optional accessory.
• Page 129: Installation The dishwasher is supplied with a 3/8 diameter inlet and requires an on-site water connection with a 3/8 compression fitting and shut-off valve. A brief increase in the water pressure can damage components of the dishwasher. This dishwasher must only be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system. 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 installed. Damage to the power cord or water inlet hose can lead to electric shocks or water damage. The water inlet hose must not be shortened or damaged in any way. Do not place the dishwasher on the water inlet hose. You should open the faucet slowly and check for leaks.
• Page 130: 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. Risk of damage from leaking water. Leaking water can cause damage. The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 5 ft (1.5 m) of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8 (22 mm). The drainage length must not be longer than 13 ft (4 m) and the delivery head no higher than 3 ft (1 m). Only use a Miele approved connection piece when extending the drain line. Only use a Miele extension drain hose.
• Page 131: Installation Venting the water drain 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.
