Built to Last, Designed to Save

Miele tests its dishwashers to the equivalent of 20 years of regular use — that’s 10,000 hours of operation. This machine carries the highest Energy Efficiency Class A rating, and its EcoPower technology is designed to keep both water and energy consumption as low as possible. On the Automatic programme, water use can drop to just 6 litres per cycle, which is genuinely impressive for a full-size 14-place machine.

The ECO programme uses 8.2 litres of water and just 0.543 kWh of electricity per cycle. Over 100 cycles, that works out to 54 kWh — a meaningful saving over time. If you have a hot water connection available, consumption drops further to 0.30 kWh per ECO cycle.

Drying That Works on Every Load

AutoOpen drying is one of the most practical features on this machine. At the end of every cycle, the door opens automatically to release steam and let fresh air circulate. The result is completely dry dishes — including delicate glassware and plastic items that typically stay damp in conventional dishwashers. There’s also a dedicated Extra Dry option for loads that need a bit more attention.

Fast When You Need It

The QuickPowerWash programme completes a full clean of normally soiled crockery in 58 minutes. That’s a proper wash, not a rinse — ideal for evenings when you need the dishes ready quickly. The Express option can reduce the length of other programmes by up to 50%, giving you more flexibility depending on how much time you have.

Wash Programmes for Every Situation

This dishwasher covers a wide range of washing needs. The Automatic programme adjusts to the soil level of a mixed load, while Intensive 75°C tackles heavily soiled pots and pans. Gentle takes care of delicate items, and ExtraClean adds a higher wash temperature with a more thorough pre-wash for stubborn residues. The ECO programme prioritises efficiency for everyday loads.

Brilliant GlassCare ensures delicate glassware is cleaned gently without risk of damage, and the FlexCare cup rack holds cups securely in place during the wash.

Hygiene You Can Rely On

Miele’s proven hygiene performance removes over 99.9% of viruses, which is particularly useful for households with young children or anyone who needs extra reassurance about cleanliness. The Waterproof System (WPS) provides double protection against leaks, giving you long-term peace of mind.

Practical, Everyday Features

The Comfort basket design with FlexAssist colour coding makes loading straightforward — fold-down tines and adjustable elements mean awkward items fit without a fight. ComfortClose makes opening and closing the door smooth and controlled. A delay start of up to 24 hours lets you schedule cycles to run overnight or during off-peak hours. An in-operation indicator lets you know at a glance whether the machine is running.
