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 sheet and the operating instructions
carefully before it is installed and used for the first time. They con-
tain important information on its installation, safety, use and main-

with this information.

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

Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appli-
ance unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children 8 years and older may only use the dishwasher unsuper-
vised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the dishwasher and do
not let them play with it. There is a danger that children playing might
shut 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. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.
 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.

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.
