Warning and safety instructions
6
This dishwasher conforms to current safety requirements. Inappro-
priate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material dam-
age.
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 its in-
stallation, safety, use and maintenance. This is to protect yourself
from injury and prevent damage to the dishwasher.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the dishwasher as well as the safety instruc-
tions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for 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.

Warning and safety instructions

Appropriate use
 This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 This dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use.
 This dishwasher is intended for use at altitudes of up to 4000m
above sea level.
 This dishwasher must only be used for cleaning domestic crock-
ery and cutlery. All other types of use are not permitted.
 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 dish-
washer unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged 8 and older may only use the dishwasher without
supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.
Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the dishwasher
unsupervised.
 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. There is a danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault
with the opening mechanism.
 Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become en-
tangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head and risk 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 dishwasher. Seek med-
ical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any deter-
gents.

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 qualified technician.
 Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher, check it for any visible damage. Never use a
damaged dishwasher.
 The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety re-
quirement is present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be
checked by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
or lack of 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 socket and plug (e.g. a switched socket and fused 3-
pin plug in the UK). 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 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.
 The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a hob. The high
temperatures radiated by hobs could damage the dishwasher below.
For the same reason, the appliance must not be installed next to
open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters
etc., not normally found in a kitchen.

Warning and safety instructions

 Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the mains electricity sup-
ply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage
to the dishwasher. Compare these before connecting the appliance
to the mains. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
 Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains 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 mech-
anism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
whilst 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.
 Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not connect the
dishwasher to the mains electricity supply using a multi-socket ad-
apter or an extension lead.
 The dishwasher must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
 Do not install the dishwasher in a room where there is a risk of
frost occurring. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The
reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperat-
ures 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.
