IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5
This dishwasher complies with current safety requirements. Inap-
propriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to
property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the dishwasher,
please read the installation plan and the operating instructions
carefully before it is installed and used for the first time. Both con-
tain important information on its installation, safety, use and main-
tenance.
Keep the installation plan and the operating instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future owner.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with this information.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
Correct use
This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and
similar residential environments.
This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.
It must only be used as specified in these operating instructions
for cleaning domestic dishes and cutlery. Any other usage is not
supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Safety with children
Children must be kept away from the appliance unless they are
constantly supervised.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance. Keep small children away from the appliance at all
times to avoid the risk of injury. There is the risk that children may
lock themselves in the dishwasher.
If the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is
active keep young children away from the area in which the door
opens. Danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the open-
ing mechanism.
Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents can
cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is
open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. Seek
medical attention immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety
Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be per-
formed by a Miele-authorized service technician. Work by unquali-
fied persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of dam-
age. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dish-
washer. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective grounding
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the elec-
trical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electri-
cian.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
grounding system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the electrical supply.
If the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using a 3-
pin plug with a grounding contact (it must not be hard-wired), the
electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is in-
stalled so that it can be disconnected from the electrical supply at
any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. There
is a danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher is pushed
up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a cooktop. The high
radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktop
could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason, it should not be
installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat,
such as heaters, etc.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage, and fre-
quency) matches the electrical supply before connecting the dish-
washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mecha-
nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
while the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model)
is active.
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
– The door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. They
are correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left
half open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the
door cannot fall open.
– The door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens
at the end of the drying phase.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply by a multi-
socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the re-
quired safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance must not be installed and operated in a non-sta-
tionary location (e.g., on a ship).
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic
module may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must only
be operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
The water pressure (flow pressure at the connection point) must
be between 7.25 - 145 psi.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
A damaged appliance could be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, turn off the electrical supply and contact Miele.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele-authorized service technician.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the electrical supply (turn it off and with-
draw the plug from the socket).
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a Miele-au-
thorized service technician only.
This dishwasher is supplied with a special bulb to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance and vibration). This special bulb must only be
used for the intended purpose. It is not suitable for room lighting.
Replacement bulbs may only be fitted by a Miele-authorized techni-
cian or the Miele Technical Service.
