Proper use

This Commercial Dishwasher complies with all current local and
national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead
to personal injury and material damage.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the Com-
mercial Dishwasher for the first time. They contain important infor-
mation on the safety, use, and maintenance of the machine. You
will prevent the risk of accidents and damage to the Commercial
Dishwasher. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and
pass them on to any future user.
This Miele Commercial Dishwasher with its short program cycle
times and powerful cleaning performance is intended for commercial
use. The Commercial Dishwasher can be used on ships with a hull of
longer than 91ft (28 m), as well as on oil rigs.
The commercial dishwasher is subsequently referred to as a dish-
washer in these operating instructions.
Glasses, cutlery and dishes are referred to generally as cookware
when not more specifically defined.
This dishwasher is not intended for continuous use.
This dishwasher is not suitable for cleaning medical products.
This machine is designed exclusively for use as a “dishwasher” for
cleaning wash items as described in these instructions. Any other
use, conversions, and modifications are not permitted and could be
dangerous.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
This dishwasher is intended for stationary, indoor use only.
The special inserts are to be used for their specific purpose only.
This Commercial Dishwasher can only be used on a ship if
– the ship’s hull is longer than 91ft (28 m)
– the list of the vessel is not more than2°.
Proper use
8
– any external vibration is no more than 150Hz at an amplitude of
1/64" (0.35 mm).
The safe operation and correct functioning of the Commercial Dish-
washer can only be guaranteed if the above conditions are met.
The door of the Commercial Dishwasher must not be opened dur-
ing operation.
Inappropriate use can lead to water leakage.
The Commercial Dishwasher may not be operated on an open
deck.
The dishwasher is equipped with a special lamp to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special lamp must only be
used for the purpose for which it is intended, i.e., lighting the wash
cabinet. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may
only be fitted by a Miele authorized technician or by Miele Technical
Service.
Important safety instructions

Proper installation
This Commercial Dishwasher may only be installed and assem-
bled on ships with a hull longer than 91ft (28 m) by qualified persons
who will ensure that the requirements for the safe installation of this
Commercial Dishwasher are met.
When the commercial dishwasher is being installed, it must be
equipped with a mechanism that prevents the door opening acci-
dentally while at sea.
When installing the Commercial Dishwasher, it must be securely
fixed to the floor.
Failure to do this could result in personal injury, damage to the Com-
mercial Dishwasher, and damage to other objects and installations.
This Commercial Dishwasher must be securely bolted to the floor
using the supplied floor anchoring kit.
Do not install the machine in an area where a danger of explosion
or of freezing temperatures may be present.
Be careful when installing the dishwasher. Wear protective
gloves to avoid injury on any sharp metal components.
To ensure the stability of undercounter dishwashers, these units
may only be installed beneath a continuous countertop that is bolted
to adjacent cabinetry.
In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the fur-
niture in the area around the dishwasher should be designed for
commercial use.
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). The door must not be allowed to
fall open. The dishwasher must only be operated with properly ad-
justed door springs.

Technical safety
Installation and repair work should be performed by a qualified
and trained service technician in accordance with local and national
safety regulations. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous
and may void the warranty.
This dishwasher must only be operated by appropriately trained
personnel. They must be instructed and trained regularly.
Before using the dishwasher, check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not use a damaged dishwasher. This could be danger-
ous.
In the event of a damaged or leaking dishwasher, switch off at the
power supply immediately and call Miele Technical Service, a Miele
dealer, or a suitably qualified service technician.
Faulty components may only be replaced by genuine Miele origi-
nal parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the
safety standards of the appliance.
The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly grounded. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held li-
able for the consequences of an inadequate grounding system (e.g.,
electric shock).
Be sure to follow the installation instructions in this manual and in
the installation diagram.
Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage, fre-
quency, and fuse rating) match those of your electrical supply.
WARNING - Fire hazard! Do not cover or crush the plug of the ap-
pliance. Ensure that the cabinet opening for the dishwasher provides
ample space for the plug and cord. Installing the dishwasher in a
tight space may crimp the power cord or put pressure on it. See
“Electrical connection”.
