Cause and remedy
The function has been permanently dis-
Knock2open
abled.
 Switch the door opening function on again (see
"Settings" chapter, "Knock2open" section).
If the door still will not open or if there is a power cut,
the door can still be opened manually using the the
door-opening mechanism supplied (see "Before using
for the first time" chapter, "Door-opening mechanism"
chapter).
The dishwasher has switched off automatically to
save energy.
 Switch the dishwasher back on using the
 sensor control.
The wash cabinet lighting has been switched off per-
manently.
 Switch the lighting back on again (see "Settings"
chapter, "BrilliantLight" section).
Faulty wash cabinet lighting.
 Call Miele Service.
The detergent compartment was still damp when de-
tergent was added.
 Only add the detergent when the detergent com-
partment is dry.
Residual detergent is blocking the catch.
 Remove the residual detergent.
This is part of the normal function of the drying sys-
tem. The moisture will dissipate after a short while.
