Warning and Safety instructions
Correct application
This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
The dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use.
It must only be used as a domestic appliance 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.
The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use
it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
A damaged dishwasher is dangerous. Check it for any recognis-
able damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installa-
tion tested 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 as-
sured 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 using a suitable fused plug (it must
not be hard-wired). 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 hob. The high radi-
ant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could
damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be in-
stalled next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat,
such as heaters etc.
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) match the mains electricity supply before connecting the
dishwasher to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the installation sheet supplied.
Take care, both before and during installation of the dish-
washer, not to cut yourself on the metal parts. Danger of in-
jury. Wear protective gloves.
The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free
operation.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured
to adjacent cabinetry.
If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-un-
der ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion
kit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a U-
model plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused by
protruding metal parts.
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 appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted door
springs.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher deter-
gents can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed,
or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent
has been swallowed or inhaled.
You could injure yourself on the open dishwasher door or trip over
it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dish-
washer to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.
Dishes can be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow them
to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unload-
ing.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-
washers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may
cause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical re-
action (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you
have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling
the salt reservoir!
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or
gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair
the functioning of the water softener.
16
Warning and Safety instructions
Accessories
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-
facturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liab-
ility.
