removing the fuse.
~Do not use an extension cord to
connect this appliance to electricity.
Extension cords do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
~Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the
electrical safety of this appliance
continuity must exist between the
appliance and an effective grounding
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement be met. If there is
any doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified
electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation
~The dishwasher must be installed
and connected in compliance with the
installation instructions.
~Installation and repair work should
be performed by a Miele authorized
service technician. Work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and may
void the warranty.
~Do not install or use a damaged
dishwasher. A damaged appliance is
dangerous. Unplug the machine and
call your Miele dealer or the Miele
Technical Service Department.
~Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children.
Danger of suffocation!
~This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as recreational
vehicles or aircraft. However, under
certain conditions it may be possible for
an installation in these applications.
Please contact the nearest Miele dealer
or the Miele Technical Service
Department with specific requirements.
~It is recommended that the
dishwasher only be connected to the
mains with the plug (no hard-wiring).
The outlet must be accessible at all
times after installation to disconnect the
dishwasher.
~,WARNING - Fire hazard
Do not cover or crush the plug of the
appliance. Ensure that the cabinet
opening for the dishwasher provides
ample space for the plug. Installing the
dishwasher in a tight space may crimp
the power cord or put pressure on the
plug which could cause overheating.

installed under a continuous counter
top secured to adjacent cabinetry.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use
~To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in, on or near the
dishwasher.
~Only use the dishwasher if all panels
are properly in place.
~Do not tamper with the controls.
~Do not damage, sit or stand on the
door or baskets of the dishwasher.
Close the door when not in use.
~Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot water
system that has not been used for two
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has
not been used for such a period, turn
on all hot water faucets and let water
flow from each for several minutes
before using the dishwasher. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
~Be sure that all items placed in the
dishwasher are "dishwasher safe". For
items not labeled, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
~When loading tableware, place
sharp items away from the door to
prevent damage to the seal. Load
sharp items pointing downwards to
prevent injuries.
~Only use detergents and rinse aids
recommended for residential
dishwashers. Keep all detergents and
rinse aids out of the reach of children.
~Do not inhale or swallow detergents.
Dishwasher detergents contain irritant
and corrosive ingredients. They can
cause burning in the mouth and throat if
swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult
a doctor immediately if detergent has
been swallowed or inhaled.
~Do not drink water from the
dishwasher! Harmful residues could be
present.
~Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir or
salt container with detergent. It will
destroy the rinse aid compartment and
water softener.
~If the power cord is damaged it
must only be replaced by a Miele Ser-
vice technician with a genuine Miele
power cord.
~This model offers a Drying Plus
feature, i.e. the door will automatically
open, without an audible signal first
being given, at the end of the program
releasing warm air from the dishwasher.
Use caution, the air may be hot!
~This model offers an AutoClose
feature, i.e. the door will automatically
shut once close enough to engage the
catch.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

parts of the body are not caught when
the AutoClose feature is in operation.
Disposal of an appliance
~If the appliance is removed from its
installation site and will not be used,
remove the doorlock to the wash
cabinet to prevent children from locking
themselves in the machine.
