Warning and Safety instructions
7
This dishwasher complies with current safety requirements.
Inappropriate 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. They
contain important information on its installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application
This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts
and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/
shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed
& breakfasts.
This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.
It must only be used as specified in these operating instructions
for cleaning domestic crockery 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
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible
for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.
Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
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
opening mechanism.
Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in
packing material or pull it over their heads with the risk of
suffocation. Keep children away from any packing material.
Keep detergent and other household agents out of the reach of
children at all times. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly
alkaline and contain irritants and corrosive ingredients. They can be
extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the
mouth, nose and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the
skin and eyes. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the
door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet or
dispenser. Check that the dispenser is empty after the completion of
a programme. Seek medical advice immediately if your child has
swallowed or inhaled detergent, e.g. Poisons Information Centre
(Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ).
Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of
damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged
dishwasher. 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 earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the
electrical system in the house should be checked by a qualified
electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket. 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.
Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be
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.
