Guide to the appliance
Miele dishwashers are available in two
versions:
1. 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.
2. “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.

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.
Ensure that the machine presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. See the appropriate sec-
tion in the Warning and Safety instruc-
tions.

Caring for the environment
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 55°C up to 0.7 kWh of electri-
cal 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.
For small loads:
Select the additional Top Solo func-
tion (see chapter Additional func-
tions)
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
10
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 always damage
the water softener. Please check
every time before refilling that the
package contains dishwasher salt.
Add rinse aid
Only use rinse aid formulated for do-
mestic dishwashers
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reser-
voir with powder or liquid detergent, or
washing up liquid, will damage the
reservoir.
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 manufacturers
recommendations on how much deter-
gent to use. Not using enough will lead
to poor wash results.
The amount to dispense will depend on
the type of detergent 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.
Before using for the first time
11
Before using for the first time
It is important to choose the correct
programme
The NORMAL programme and the
UNIVERSAL programmes are ideally
suited to everyday loads. See the pro-
gramme chart for descriptions of other
programmes.
When the dishwasher is run for the
first time the programme selected
will not start for
approx. 7 minutes.
During these 7 minutes the Reacti-
vate (Regenerate) programme step
is carried out and the Reactivate
indicator light illuminates.
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.

Water softener
To avoid the build-up of calcium de-
posits on crockery and cutlery, and in
the dishwasher the water needs to be
softened.
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 up to a hardness level of
400 mg/l (22 °d German scale)
If your water hardness level is differ-
ent from this the factory setting will
need to be changed according to
the chart on this page.
Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness of your area.
Where the hardness level fluctuates
(e.g. 140-310 mg/l, 8 - 17 °d German
scale) always take the highest value
(value 17 °d in this example)!

Water softener
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
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.
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 PRE-WASH programme
immediately. This removes any
traces of salt from the cabinet. This
is not necessary if a UNIVERSAL
or UNIVERSAL PLUS programme
is run straight away.
Water softener

Water softener
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.
After the reservoir has been refilled with
salt the water softener is automatically
reactivated either the next time the dish-
washer is run or the time after that.
The Reactivate indicator light illumi-
nates during this process.
Note
The salt indicator light will come on if
the water used is very soft, i.e. con-
stantly at a level below 70 mg/l (4 °d).
The salt reservoir is empty as no reacti-
vation salt is needed with such soft
water.
The light is of no significance in this
case.
The "Salt" indicator light has also been
designated for future programme up-
dates, (see "After Sales Service").

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
19
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.

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 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 dishwasher
may discolour if large quantities of
these foodstuffs find their way into
the appliance on the crockery.
The stability of the plastic items is
not affected by this discolouration.

Upper basket
Small, lightweight, delicate items such
as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert
bowls, etc.
Note for Top Solo
If a wash programme has been se-
lected with the additional function Top
Solo, all crockery must be loaded into
the upper basket and cutlery tray. See
the Additional functions chapter for
further information.
As the middle spray arm also directs
water downwards, lightly soiled plates
or platters can be placed in the bottom
basket if there are large spaces be-
tween them.
Do not place dishes,
bowls or other hollow containers in the
bottom basket. See Section on Addi-
tional option - Top Solo.
Bottom basket
Larger and heavier items such as
plates, serving platters, saucepans,
bowls. Glasses may only be cleaned in
the bottom basket if it is fitted with a
special glassware insert.
Cutlery tray
The cutlery tray insert is removable. It
can be completely removed from its
frame and carried to be cutlery drawer,
or table where it can be easily unloaded.
Loading the dishwasher
22
Loading the dishwasher
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 trouch
in the centre of the tray.
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.

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

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, cut-
lery and glassware make sure they
are dishwasher safe.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
26
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
manufacturers 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
27
Preventive measures:
1. If you wish to continue using the new
chlorine and phosphate-free pro-
ducts, the following is recommended:
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.
The instrucions given in this book for
setting the water softener and dis-
pensing detergent remain valid.
3. If results are still not to your satisfac-
tion, you should revert back to using
conventional
detergents containing
both chlorine and phosphate.
The instrucions given in this book for
setting the water softener and dis-
pensing detergent remain valid.
Should you experience difficulties when
using these types of products, please
contact the detergent manufacturers
own Advisory Service.
Adding detergent
28
Dishwasher detergent must be added
before each programme (except 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 manufacturers
advice on the packet).
Detergent manufacturers give the re-
quired amount of detergent in ml (or g)
on the packaging.
For the NORMAL programme and the
UNIVERSAL programmes use at least
30 ml (or g) detergent unless advised
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 en-
sure that the container is always
properly sealed after use. Otherwise
the detergent can lose its effectiveness.

29
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.

Choosing a programme
Choose your programme according to
the type of load and how dirty it is.
In most cases this will be the NORMAL
programme or one of the UNIVERSAL
programmes.
NORMAL 55°
UNIVERSAL 55° or 65°
These programmes are ideally suited to
everyday loads, mixed loads with va-
rying degrees of soiling.
For particular needs there are special
programmes:
The different programmes and their
uses are described on the next two
pages in the Programme chart.
You can also choose the additional
function "Top Solo" for each programme.
See the "Additional functions" chapter
for further information.
Programme Energy save
Use this programme for lightly to nor-
mally soiled crockery.
For technical reasons a warm water
intake of at least 45°C (temperature
of the incoming water) is necessary
for this programme.
Water is not heated up in this pro-
gramme.
Only approx. 0.20 kWh is used.
The drying result will not quite match
that of a programme with a full drying
cycle.
The higher the temperature of the water
taken in (up to 60 ° max), the better the
results obtained with this programme.
The door of the dishwasher can be
left ajar at the end of this programme
to dispel vapour/moisture more
quickly.

sition a dot lights up in the
display field
(17).
Starting a programme
Turn the Programme and tempera-
ture selector switch (21) clockwise or
anti-clockwise to the required pro-
gramme.
The length of the programme selected
appears in hours and minutes in the
Time display (17).
At the same time an indicator light il-
luminates next to the

34
Switching on and off
Note:
The Reactivation process is car-
ried out before a wash programme.
It lasts
several minutes.
During this process only the Reacti-
vating indicator light is on.
The hardness level of the inlet water
dictates how often (after how many pro-
grammes) water needs to be softened.
For example with a water hardness de-
gree of 380 mg/l (21 °d German scale)
reactivation takes place after every 3
programmes. With a water hardness de-
gree of 140 mg/l (8 °d German scale)
reactivation only takes place after 11
programmes.
Time display (17)
The time left for a programme to run
shows in the display as the programme
progresses.
The time displayed in the time display
may vary with the same programme.
This is partly dependent on the tem-
perature of the inlet water on each oc-
casion.
When the dishwasher is first switched
on the display shows a time value for
an inlet water temperature of approx.
15°C, (test temperature set in the fac-
tory).
With subsequent programmes the elec-
tronic unit takes account of the new
conditions and calculates the time re-
quired. This figure is then displayed
when the machine is next switched on.
End of a programme
A programme has finished when no in-
dicator lights are illuminated in the pro-
gramme sequence display (20) and a
0 shows in the time display.
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.
Switching off
At the end of a programme:
Press and release the On-Off -
switch (14).
If the dishwasher is not to be used for a
long period of time, e.g. whilst on holi-
day:
Turn off the stopcock.
Switching on and off
35
Switching on and offRemoving load
Programme interruption
A wash 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. Hold the door for about 20 secs
in the nearly closed position, before
pushing it firmly shut.
Programme change
A programme change can be made at
any time. The newly chosen pro-
gramme starts as soon as it has been
selected.
Turn the programme selector switch
to the required programme.
If a programme needs to be started
from the beginning again:
Turn the programme selector switch
to the STOP position (a point ap-
pears in the display field).
Select a new programme and press
START.
Removing 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.

Additional options
Delay start (18)
The starting time of a programme can
be delayed up to 9 hours and 30
minutes (in 30 minute steps), e.g. to
benefit from economy rates of elec-
tricity.
Select a programme.
The duration of the selected pro-
gramme shows in the
time display (17)
in minutes and seconds.
Press the Delay start (18) button
once for every 30 minutes delay re-
quired.
The programme duration goes out in
the time display and the delay time is
displayed in hours and minutes. The in-
dicator light next to the Delay start
button illuminates.
Press the START button (18).
The delay time counts down in minutes
until the delay start period has elapsed.
The programme then begins automati-
cally, and the programme duration and
then the remaining running time of the
programme is displayed in the display
field.
Example:
Press Delay start x 1 = 30 minutes
delay.
30 (mins) shows in the display field.
Press Delay start x 2 = 1 hour delay.
1.00 shows in the display field etc.
To avoid the danger of children com-
ing into contact with the dishwasher
detergent: Only put it into the deter-
gent dispenser
just before starting
the programme, and then secure
the door with the child safety lock.
When using the Delay Start option
make sure the detergent dispenser
is dry before putting in detergent.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth if necess-
ary.
Additional options
37
Additional options
Top Solo (18)
With this function the majority of the
water is directed only to the top and
middle spray arms in the dishwasher.
This means that the water jets are
aimed only at items in the upper basket
and cutlery tray (where fitted).
This additional function is recom-
mended when there is only a small
amount of crockery and cutlery to
clean which fits into the upper basket
and the cutlery tray.
N. B.:
Lightly soiled plates or serving platters
can still be placed in the bottom basket
if there are large spaces between
them. Do not place dishes or bowls or
other hollow containers in the bottom
basket.
In some instances adjusting the upper
basket to the lowest position can make
it easier to accommodate larger plates
in this basket.
By using the Top Solo function water,
detergent and energy savings are also
made.
For example in the UNIVERSAL PLUS 55°
programme only 11 litres of water are
used instead of 17 litres and only 1.0
kWh of electricity instead of 1.3 kWh.
Because smaller amounts of crockery
are being washed the amount of deter-
gent recommended by the manufac-
turer can be reduced. Make sure, how-
ever, when reducing the amount
dispensed that the cleaning result is
not affected.
The Top Solo function can be selected
with all wash programmes.
Choose the programme
The length of the chosen programme
appears in the
time display (17) in
hours and minutes.
Press the Top Solo-button (18).
The indicator light next to the button
illuminates. At the end of the pro-
gramme the additional option is auto-
matically cancelled.
The programme duration of the se-
lected programme changes.
Press the START-button (18).
The indicator light next to the
START-button goes out. The pro-
gramme starts.

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
42
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
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.

The Spray arm check light flashes
The middle spray arm is obstructed
by crockery.
Open the dishwasher door and
remove the obstruction.
The spray are jets are blocked - see
"Cleaning and care".
Before removing the obstruction:
Turn the programme selector to
STOP.
Switch off the dishwasher with the
ON/OFF switch.
The Water inlet check light comes
on during the Energy save pro-
gramme.
For technical reasons the Energy
save programme requires a warm
water intake temperature of at least
45 °C (temperature of the inflowing
water) see also Programme selec-
tion.
If the inflowing water does not reach
the necessary temperature the indica-
tor light Water inlet illuminates.
One reason for this may be that the do-
mestic hot water system has been over-
used for a short period of time.
This can, in certain instances lead to
the crockery not being properly
cleaned.
If necessary repeat the programme.
If the Water inlet indicator light
comes on again select a different
programme.
The wash cycle finishes too early
and three horizontal lines --- ap-
pear in the time display.
Turn the programme selector to
STOP.
Switch off the dishwasher with the
ON/OFF switch.
After a few seconds:
Switch on again with the ON/OFF
switch.
Select the programme again and
start.
If the lines are still visible in the display
there is a technical fault.
Please call the MIELE Service De-
partment.
In certain circumstances you can still
wash with the "Energy save" pro-
gramme (using hot water) and "PRE-
WASH". As the programme progresses
the time left is displayed again in the
time display.

Installation 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.
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 890 mm machine height
2) with 840 mm machine height
Range of adjustment approx. 5 cm
(84-89 cm total height).
Extended machine feet are available at
extra cost, (special accessory). These
can be used for a machine height of 89
to 94 cm.
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
56
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.
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
57
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.
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
58
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.
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
59
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.

3. Fitting the facia panel
The facia panel is delivered separately
in the colour ordered with the necess-
ary accessories.
It has to be fitted to the dishwasher
when it is being installed.
Place the seal supplied b in the
groove round the ventilation grille
c.
Push the ventilation grille c into posi-
tion.
Attach caps d to the push button
switches.
Fit the adapter disc e .
Place the facia panel f in position
and screw into place from the inside
using the six screws
g.
Attach the switch knob h.
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
i 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.
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
61
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
clockwise or anti-clockwise until the
required height is reached.
If necessary some or all spacer bars
can be removed.
Adjustment range:
from 112 mm: facia panel without
spacer bars
to 145 mm: facia panel with four
spacer bars,
to 154 mm: using a fifth spacer bar
(special accessory at
extra cost).
Please note
After adjustment cut off any protruding
lengths of the screws.
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
62
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).
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
63
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.
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
64
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
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.
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
65
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.
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
66
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.
Installation integrated i Dishwashers
67
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.

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.
When connected to a hot water supply
all programme stages which would
otherwise be carried out with cold
water (pre-wash and interim rinse) as
well as the PRE-WASH will be carried
out with hot water.
The programme Energy save (with-
out heater) needs connection to a
hot water supply with a temperature
of at least 45°C.
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
if national regulations allow this.
The water pressure (flow rate at the
take-off point) must be between 0.3
and 10 bar pressure.
If the water pressure is too low the
Water inlet light can light up, (see
Problem solving guide).
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 following illustration).
Connect the inlet hose with the
Waterproof-System preferably verti-
cally so that the hose exits from the
bottom of the Waterproof valve box.
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
71
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).
Plumbing
72
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.
