Proper use
This commercial dishwasher complies with current safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the dishwasher,
please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important information on its safety, installation,
use and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and
pass them on to any future owner.
 With its short program running times and powerful cleaning
performance, this Miele commercial dishwasher is intended for
commercial use in commercial environments.
 This appliance is designed exclusively for use as a "dishwasher"
for cleaning cookware, glassware and cutlery only, as described in
these instructions. Alterations or conversions to the dishwasher, or
using it for purposes other than those for which it is designed, are not
permitted and could be dangerous.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or
incorrect use or operation.
 This commercial dishwasher is intended only for stationary indoor
use.
 The special inserts are to be used for their specific purpose only.
 This commercial dishwasher is not suitable for the cleaning of
medical products or devices.
 Persons who lack physical, sensory or mental abilities, or
experience with the appliance should not use it without supervision or
instruction by a responsible person.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Proper installation
 Do not install the commercial dishwasher in areas at risk of
explosion or freezing.
 To ensure the stability of undercounter commercial dishwashers,
they must only be installed beneath a continuous countertop that is
bolted to the adjacent cabinetry.
 In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the
furniture in the area around the commercial dishwasher should be
designed for commercial use.
Technical safety
 The commercial dishwasher must only be installed, commissioned,
repaired and then maintained by the Miele Service Department or an
authorized Miele Service dealer. Installation, repair and other work by
unqualified persons could be dangerous and Miele will not be held
liable.
 This commercial dishwasher must only be operated by
appropriately trained personnel. They must be instructed and trained
regularly.
 Before using the commercial dishwasher, check it for any
externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use it
if it has been damaged. It could be dangerous.
 In the event of a damaged or leaking commercial dishwasher, turn
it off immediately and contact Miele or an authorized Miele Service
dealer.
 Faulty components may only be replaced by genuine Miele original
parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the safety
standards of the appliance.
 The electrical safety of this commercial dishwasher can only be
guaranteed when it is connected to a correctly installed grounding
conductor system. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held
liable for the consequences for the lack or interruption of a grounding
conductor (e.g. electric shock).
 Be sure to follow the installation instructions in this manual and in
the installation diagram.
 Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage,
frequency, and fuse rating) match those of your electrical supply.
 There must be no electrical sockets behind the commercial
dishwasher since the depth of the installation niche may be too small
and there is a danger of overheating if the dishwasher is pushed up
against a plug (see the "Electrical connection" chapter for more
information).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
 Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply by a
multiple outlet box or an extension cable since they do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
 Do not open the commercial dishwasher casing under any
circumstances. Tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
 The commercial dishwasher must not be used if the connecting
cable is damaged. If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special connecting cable available from Miele. For safety reasons, this
may only be performed by the Miele Service Department or an
authorized Miele Service dealer.
 Before maintenance, disconnect the commercial dishwasher from
the electrical supply.
 The plastic housing of the water connection contains electrical
components. It must not be dipped in water.
 There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Do not shorten the
water inlet hose, even if it is too long.
 The built-in waterproof system offers reliable protection against
water damage if the following conditions are met:
– proper installation
– proper maintenance of the dishwasher or exchange of parts in
case of visible damage
– closing of the water valve during longer absences (for example
vacation)
The waterproof system will work even if the dishwasher is turned off.
However, the commercial dishwasher must remain connected to the
electrical supply.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
Proper use
 This commercial dishwasher is designed for operation with water
and detergents suitable for use in commercial or residential
dishwashers only. Organic solvents and flammable liquid agents must
not be used.
This could cause an explosion, property damage due to the
destruction of rubber or plastic, and the resulting leakage of liquids.
 Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
commercial dishwasher to tip or become damaged.
 After any plumbing work on the water supply, to the dishwasher
will need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be
damaged.
 Please be aware that the dishwasher may be operating at high
temperatures. If the door is opened, there is a danger of burning or
scalding. Dishes, cutlery, baskets, and inserts must be allowed to
cool down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining in
containers could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash cabinet
before taking them out.
 The water in the wash cabinet is NOT safe to drink!
 The pretreatment of items (for example with dishwashing liquid and
other detergents), but also some types of soiling and some
detergents, can cause a build-up of foam in the wash cabinet. Foam
can have an adverse effect on the cleaning result.
 Foam escaping from the wash cabinet can cause damage to the
dishwasher. If foam escapes, the program must be cancelled
immediately.
 When using detergents and specialized products, it is essential
that the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Detergents must
only be used for the purpose they are designed for and in the
situation specified, to avoid material damage and serious chemical
reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).
 Do not inhale or ingest powder detergent. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which 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.
 Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical detergents may
have on the material of the items being cleaned. Observe the
detergent manufacturer's instructions with regard to storage
conditions, use, and dosage.
 To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids or
solutions containing chloride to get into the wash cabinet. Similarly
avoid any materials with a corrosive effect.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
 Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricants, or paint
in the dishwasher. These substances could damage the dishwasher.
 Do not hose down the dishwasher or its direct vicinity to clean it,
e.g. with a water hose or high-pressure cleaner.
 Ensure that the stainless steel outer casing of the appliance does
not come into contact with solutions or steam containing acid to
avoid any corrosion damage.
 Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and
positioning them in the dishwasher so that you do not hurt yourself or
create a danger for others. Cutlery should be placed in baskets in
such a way that no injuries can occur.
 Remove any coarse food deposits from the items being cleaned
before loading them in the dishwasher.
Children in the vicinity
 Supervise children when they are anywhere near this dishwasher.
Do not let them play with it. There is a danger that children may lock
themselves in the dishwasher.
 Children must not be allowed to operate this dishwasher.
 Keep children away from chemical agents. These contain irritant
and corrosive ingredients which 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
residual chemical agent in the cabinet. Seek medical advice
immediately if a child has swallowed or inhaled chemical agent.
Accessories
 Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with
this dishwasher. Miele will provide you with the article designations of
the accessories.
 Only use Miele baskets and inserts with this dishwasher. Using
baskets and inserts made by other manufacturers, or making
modifications to Miele accessories can cause unsatisfactory cleaning
results, for which Miele cannot be held liable. Any resultant damage
would not be covered by the guarantee.
