IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5
This dishwasher complies with all current local and national safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal in-
jury and material damage.
Please observe the installation sheet and read the operating in-
structions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using it
for the first time. They both contain important information on the
installation, safety, use, and maintenance of the machine. This pre-
vents both personal injury and damage to the dishwasher.
Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the
instructions in the section on installing the dishwasher as well as
the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep the installation sheet and the operating instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future owner.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Appropriate use
This dishwasher is intended for use in the home and in similar en-
vironments, for example
–in shops, offices, and similar work settings
–on agricultural estates
–by guests in hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and other typical
home settings.
This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.
This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 13,000ft
(4,000m) above sea level.
This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic dishes
and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted.
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 dishwasher unless they are
constantly supervised.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance.
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.
Never allow children to play with the dishwasher. There is a danger
that children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
If the automatic door opening mechanism is active (depending on
the model), keep young children away from the area in which the
door opens.
Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entan-
gled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over
their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away
from children.
Keep children away from detergents. Detergents cause severe
skin burns and severe eye damage. They can cause burning in the
mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing. It is therefore important to
keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. De-
tergent residues could still be present in the machine. Seek medical
advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any deter-
gents.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety
Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re-
pairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it
for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.
The electrical safety of the dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly grounded. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should
be checked by a qualified service technician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
or lack of grounding system (e.g., electric shock).
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized with
the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with national and local codes.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation.
Where the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using
a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact, the electrical socket must be
easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be
disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher be-
cause the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheating
and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The
high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the dish-
washer below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be in-
stalled next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such
as heaters etc., not normally found in a kitchen.
Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency, and voltage) match the electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to
the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the appliance to
the electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified service
technician.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity 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 the
model) is active.
To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:
- The door springs must be evenly adjusted 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.
Power bars and extension cords do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (risk of fire). Do not connect the dishwasher
to the electricity supply using a power bar or an extension cord.
The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g., on a ship).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The reliability of
the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below
freezing point.
To avoid any damage to the dishwasher, it must only be operated
when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system.
The built-in Waterproof system offers reliable protection against
water damage if the following conditions are met:
- Installation has been carried out correctly.
- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced in
case of noticeable damage.
- The water-supply faucet is turned off during longer absences from
the home (e.g., while on vacation).
The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is
turned off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to the
electricity supply.
The water-connection pressure needs to be between 7.25 and
145 psi (50 and 1,000kPa).
A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher
gets damaged, turn it off at the electricity supply immediately and
contact your Miele dealer or Miele Customer Service.
The manufacturer’s warranty may be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired to Miele authorized service standards.
We recommend replacing defective components with original
parts. If original Miele parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full
compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid.
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher
must be disconnected from the electricity supply (turn it off and with-
draw the plug from the socket).
