Correct application
8
Correct application
This 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.
 This dishwasher with its short programme running times and
powerful cleaning performance is intended for commercial use in
– Guest houses
– Clubs
– Nursing homes
– and other similar commercial environments.
 This appliance is designed exclusively for use as a "dishwasher"
for cleaning crockery, 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 dishwasher is intended for stationary, indoor use only.
 The special inserts should only be used for their specific
application.
 This dishwasher is not suitable for the reprocessing of medical
products or devices.
 This dishwasher can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the
consequences of incorrect operation.

Correct application
9
 This dishwasher can only be used if
– the ship’s hull is longer than 28metres.
– the list of the vessel is not more than2°.
– any external vibration is no more than 150 Hz at an amplitude of
0.35mm.
The safe operation and correct functioning of this commercial
dishwasher can only be guaranteed if the above conditions are met.
 This dishwasher may not be operated on an open deck.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct installation
 This dishwasher may only be installed and used in mobile
installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
 This dishwasher must be fixed in position when it is installed.
Failure to do this could result in personal injury, damage to the
machine and damage to property.
 This dishwasher must be securely bolted to the floor using a BBF
80 kit.
 Do not install this dishwasher in an area where there is a risk of
explosion or freezing conditions.
 In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the
furniture in the area around the dishwasher should be designed for
commercial use.
Technical safety
 This dishwasher must only be installed, commissioned, repaired
and then maintained by the Miele Service Department or an
authorised Miele Service dealer. Installation, repair and other work by
unqualified persons could be dangerous and Miele will not be held
liable.
 This dishwasher must only be operated by appropriately trained
personnel. They must be instructed and trained regularly.
 Before using the 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 dishwasher, switch off at the
mains immediately and call the Miele Service Department or an
authorised Miele Service dealer.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele
guarantee the correct functioning and safety of the appliance.
 The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held
liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
 Please follow the advice on installation in these instructions and
the separate Installation diagram.
 Before connecting the appliance, ensure that the connection data
on the data plate (voltage, frequency and fuse rating) match the
mains electrical supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 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 (see "Electrical connection").
 Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
 Do not open the dishwasher casing. Tampering with electrical
connections or components and mechanical parts is highly
dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
 The dishwasher must not be used if the electrical connection cable
is damaged. If the cable is damaged it must be replaced with a
special cable available from Miele. For safety reasons this must only
be done by the Miele Service Department or an authorised Miele
Service dealer.
 The dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
 The plastic housing of the water connection contains electrical
components. It must not be dipped in water.
 There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not shorten
the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water
damage, provided the following conditions are met:
– installation has been carried out correctly,
– the dishwasher is properly maintained and parts replaced where it
can be seen that this is necessary,
– the stopcock has been turned off during longer periods of
inactivity (e.g. whilst on holiday).
The Waterproof system will work even if the dishwasher is switched
off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to the
electricity supply.
Correct use
 This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and cleaning
agents suitable for use in commercial dishwashers only. Organic
solvents and flammable liquid agents must not be used in it.
This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components
in the dishwasher and cause liquids to leak out of it.
 Only use cleaning agents formulated for use in commercial
dishwashers. Using unsuitable cleaning agents could adversely affect
components in the dishwasher, as well as items being cleaned.
 Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
dishwasher to tip up and be damaged or cause an injury.
 After any plumbing work the water pipework 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. Crockery, 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 cabinet must not be used as drinking water.
 Pre-treating items (for example with washing-up liquid and other
cleaning agents) as well as some types of soiling and some cleaning
agents 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 programme must be cancelled
immediately.
 When using cleaning agents and specialised products, it is
essential that the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Cleaning
agents must only be used for the purpose they are designed for and
in the situation specified, to avoid such dangers as serious chemical
reactions and material damage (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 Do not inhale or ingest powder cleaning agent. Dishwasher
cleaning agents 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 cleaning agent has
been swallowed or inhaled.
 Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical cleaning agents
may have on the material of the items being cleaned. Observe the
cleaning agent 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 chlorides or metals which are not rust-proof to
get into the wash cabinet.
 Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in
the dishwasher. These substances could damage the dishwasher.
 Do not hose the dishwasher or near vicinity down to clean it, e.g.
with a hosepipe or a pressure washer.
 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 that you do not hurt yourself or
create a danger for others. Sharp knives, forks, etc. should be placed
in baskets with the pointed ends facing downwards.
 Remove any coarse food deposits and empty out any containers
or utensils before loading them in the dishwasher.
Safety with children
 Supervise children when they are anywhere near this dishwasher.
Do not let them play with it. There is a danger that children playing
might shut 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. Using spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee and Miele cannot accept
liability.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 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.
Symbols used
Warning:
Observe the operating instructions
Warning:
Danger of electric shock
Disposal of your old dishwasher
 For safety and environmental reasons, dispose of all chemical
agents according to the manufacturer's instructions and to safety
regulations. Safety goggles and protective gloves should be worn.
 Remove or disable the door lock prior to disposal of the
dishwasher, so that children cannot become trapped inside (see
"Caring for the environment").
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment
15
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the dishwasher from damage
during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected
from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and
should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in
landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are
disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposing of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines often contain valuable materials.
They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of
incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning
of your machine. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection /
recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for
disposal.
