Warning and safety instructions
6
This dishwasher conforms to current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
material damage.
Please observe the installation sheet and read the operating
instructions carefully before setting up the dishwasher and using it
for the first time. They both contain important information on its
installation, 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
instructions 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
7
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
crockery 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
8
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
dishwasher 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
entangled 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.
Detergent residues could still be present in the dishwasher. Seek
medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled any
detergents.

Warning and safety instructions

Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, 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
requirement is present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should
be checked by a Miele authorised technician.
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
assured 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
because 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
10
 Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the mains electricity
supply. 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
mechanism 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
adapter 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
temperatures 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.

Warning and safety instructions
11
 The plastic housing of the water connection contains a solenoid
valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.
 There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the hose,
even if it is too long.
 The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water
damage, provided that the following conditions are met:
- Installation has been carried out correctly
- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced
where this is noticeably required
- The stopcock is turned off during longer absences from the home
(e.g. whilst on holiday).
The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is
switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to
the electricity supply.
 The water-connection pressure needs to be between 50 and
1,000kPa.
 A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher
gets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and call your
Miele dealer.
 While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised technician. Otherwise the warranty
is invalidated.
 We recommend replacing defective components with original
spare parts. If original Miele spare parts are installed correctly, Miele
ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty
remains valid.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the dishwasher
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply (switch it off
and withdraw the plug from the socket).

Warning and safety instructions
12
 If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a
special cable of the same type (available from Miele). For safety
reasons this work must be carried out by a Miele authorised
technician only.
 This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp (depending on the
model) to cope with particular conditions (e.g. in terms of
temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and
vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for
which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement
lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised person or by your
Miele dealer.
Correct installation
 The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance
with the supplied installation sheet.
 Be careful before and while installing the dishwasher.
Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/being cut. Wear
protective gloves.
 The dishwasher must be correctly aligned horizontally to ensure
problem-free operation.
 In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous worktop that is secured to
adjacent cabinetry.
 The dishwasher must only be built into a tall unit if additional
safety precautions are taken. In order to safely install the appliance
in a tall unit, please use the Tall unit installation set and observe the
installation sheet provided. Otherwise there is the danger of the unit
tipping over.

Warning and safety instructions
13
 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 appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door
springs.
If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact your Miele dealer.
The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the
factory fitted door springs is 10–12kg (depending on model).
Correct use
 Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Risk of explosion.
 Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the
eyes, nose, mouth and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not
inhale powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents.
Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed
or inhaled.
 Avoid leaving the dishwasher door open unnecessarily. You could
injure yourself on the open door or trip over it.
 Do not sit or lean on the open door. The dishwasher could tip
over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.
 Crockery may be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow the
dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before
unloading them.
 Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
 Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may
cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive
chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
 Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause damage to the reservoir.

Warning and safety instructions
14
 Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or
liquid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.
 Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
Detergent will damage the water softener.
 Only use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt or other pure
kitchen salt for reactivation. Other salts may contain insoluble
additives that can impair the functioning of the water softener.
 In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives
and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket
for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles
downwards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle
down in the basket will come out cleaner and drier.
 Plastic items that cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the
dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
 If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent
compartment must be dry. If it is not, wipe it until dry. The detergent
will clump together if the detergent compartment is not dry, and this
may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.
 Please observe the information given in the “Technical data”
chapter regarding the capacity of the dishwasher.
Accessories and spare parts
 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance and, if applicable, product liability claims will
be invalidated.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for 15years
following the discontinuation of your dishwasher.

Warning and safety instructions
15
Transport
 Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage.
Never use a damaged dishwasher.
 Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no
water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.
 If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely
fasten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses and cables.
