Correct use
9
This commercial dishwasher complies with all current local and
national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead
to personal injury and material damage.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the
commercial dishwasher for the first time. They contain important
information on the safety, use and maintenance of the machine.
This way you will prevent the risk of accidents and damage to the
commercial dishwasher. Keep these operating 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
offices, lunch rooms, clubhouses, workshops, large kitchens and
similar professional environments.
It is also suitable for use in domestic households and in similar
residential environments; for example, by customers in hotels,
motels, bed and breakfasts and other related establishments.
 The dishwasher is subsequently referred to as a dishwasher in
these operating instructions.
Glasses, cutlery and crockery are referred to generally as crockery
when not more specifically defined.
 The term “process chemicals” refers to all chemical agents
required for reprocessing the load items.
 This dishwasher is not intended for continuous use.
 This dishwasher may not be used to clean medical products or
devices.
 This machine is designed exclusively for use as a “dishwasher” for
cleaning loads as described in these instructions. Conversions,
modifications and any other use are not permitted.
 This dishwasher is intended for stationary, indoor use only.

Correct use
10
 The special inserts should only be used for their specific
application.
 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.
 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 lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it
is intended. The lamp is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement
lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the
Miele Customer Service Department.
This dishwasher contains several light sources in energy efficiency
class D.
The lighting control element is integrated into the appliance control

Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct installation
 Do not install this dishwasher in an area where there is a risk of
explosion or freezing conditions.
 Take care, both before and during installation of the
dishwasher, not to cut yourself on the metal parts. Danger of
injury. Wear protective gloves.
 To ensure stability a built-under dishwasher must only be installed
beneath a continuous worktop that is bolted to the adjacent
cabinetry.
 In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the
furniture in the area around the dishwasher must be designed for
commercial use.
 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). The door must not be allowed to
fall open. The dishwasher must only be operated with properly
adjusted door springs.
Technical safety
 This dishwasher must only be commissioned, repaired and
maintained by the Miele Customer Service Department, a dealer or a
suitably qualified service technician. Unauthorised installation,
maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the
user.
 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. Do not use a damaged dishwasher. This could be
dangerous.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 In the event of a damaged or leaking dishwasher, switch off at the
power supply immediately and call the Miele Customer Service
Department, a Miele dealer or a suitably qualified service technician.
 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. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
 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.
 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 via
a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
 Never open the casing of the dishwasher. Any contact with live
connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical
components of the dishwasher will endanger your safety and may
lead to appliance malfunctions.
 The dishwasher must not be used if the electrical connection
cable is damaged. A damaged connection cable may only be
replaced by a suitable connection cable of the same type. For safety
reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by the Miele
Customer Service Department or a qualified service technician.
 The dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 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.
 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 it can be seen that this is necessary.
- The stopcocks have been turned off during longer periods of
inactivity (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.
 While the dishwasher is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
Correct use
 This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and
detergents 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 detergents formulated for use in commercial
dishwashers. Unsuitable detergents could adversely affect
components of the dishwasher or the load items.
 You could injure yourself on the open dishwasher door or trip over
it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
 Do not sit, stand or lean on the opened door. This would tip or
damage the dishwasher.
 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. When the door is opened there is a danger of burning
or scalding. Items, 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 chamber 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 and the machine must be disconnected from the mains
electrical supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
 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 by
the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of
strong chemical reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).
 Do not inhale or ingest powder detergent. Dishwasher detergent
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 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 chloride to get into the wash cabinet or onto
the casing. Similarly avoid any ferrous materials with a corrosive
effect.
 Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease
or paint in the dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the
dishwasher.
 Do not clean the dishwasher or near vicinity with a hose or a
pressure washer.
 Ensure that the outer casing of the machine 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
16
 Remove any coarse food deposits and empty out any containers
or utensils before loading them in the dishwasher.
Safety with children
 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.
Never allow children to play with the machine. There is a danger that
children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
 Children under eight years of age must be kept away from the
dishwasher unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged eight 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 recognise and understand the
potential risks of improper use.
 If the automatic door opening mechanism is active, 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.
 Keep children away from chemical agents. These contain irritant
and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth, or
inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the
door is open. There could still be residual chemical agent in the
wash cabinet. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has
swallowed or inhaled chemical agent.
Accessories
 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for 10years
following the discontinuation of your appliance.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment
17
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance 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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible for deleting any personal
data that may be stored on the
appliance being disposed of. Please
ensure that your old appliance poses no
risk to children while being stored prior
to disposal.

Caring for the environment
18
Economical dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity.
You can make the most of your
machine by following these tips:
- For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher. This
results in the most economical
dishwashing.
- Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
- Select the ECO programme for
energy-saving dishwashing. This
programme is the most efficient in
terms of its combined energy and
water consumption for cleaning
dishes with a normal level of soiling.
- Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
- When using powder or liquid
detergent you can use 1/3 less
detergent if baskets are only half full.
