Warning and Safety instructionsTechnical safety Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can causeconsiderable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician. A damaged dishwasher is dangerous. Check it for any recognisable damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance. The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen 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 inadequateearthing 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 supplyvia a suitable switched socket using a suitable fused plug (it mustnot be hard-wired). The electrical socket must be easily accessibleafter the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected fromthe electricity supply at any time. There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher.Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to bepushed up against a plug. The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob coulddamage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat,such as heaters etc. To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that theconnection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply before connecting thedishwasher to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.11
Warning and Safety instructions Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it hasbeen fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the doorsprings. The dishwasher may only be operated if the door opening mechanism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of dangerwhilst the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model)is active.To check that the door opening mechanism is working correctly:– the door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. Theyare correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when lefthalf open (approx. 45 opening angle). It is also important that thedoor cannot fall open.– the door locking pins automatically retract when the door opensat the end of the drying phase. Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guaranteethe required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). The appliance 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 offrost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electroniccontrol unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point. To avoid any damage to the appliance, the dishwasher must onlybe operated when it is connected to a fully vented plumbing system. The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electricalcomponent. It must not be dipped in water. There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not shortenthe water inlet hose, even if it is too long.12
Warning and Safety instructions The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from waterdamage, provided the following conditions are met:– The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.– The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replacedwhere it can be seen that this is necessary.– the stopcock is turned off during longer absences from the home(e.g. whilst on holiday).The Waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switchedoff. However, the appliance must remain connected to the electricitysupply. The water pressure (flow pressure at the take-off point) must bebetween 50 and 1000 kPa (0.5 and 10 bar). If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and call your Miele Dealer or the Miele Service Department. While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise thewarranty is invalidated. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty componentsmust only be replaced by Miele spare parts. During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply (switch it offand withdraw the plug from the socket). If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with aspecial cable of the same type (available from Miele). For safety reasons this work must be carried out by a Miele authorised servicetechnician only.13
Warning and Safety instructions This dishwasher is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only beused for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for roomlighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorisedperson or the Miele Service Department.Correct installation The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliancewith the installation sheet supplied. Take care, both before and during installation of the dishwasher, not to cut yourself on the metal parts. Danger of injury. Wear protective gloves. The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-freeoperation. In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashersmust only be installed under a continuous worktop which is securedto adjacent cabinetry. If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a built-under ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversionkit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a Umodel plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused byprotruding metal parts. The door springs must be adjusted equally on both sides. Theyare correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when lefthalf open (approx. 45 opening angle). It is also important that thedoor cannot fall open.The appliance may only be used with correctly adjusted doorsprings.14
Warning and Safety instructionsCorrect use Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion. Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed,or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if detergenthas been swallowed or inhaled. You could injure yourself on the open dishwasher door or trip overit. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily. Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured. Dishes can be very hot at the end of the programme. Allow themto cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading. Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these maycause 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 serious damage to the reservoir. Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure youhave picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before fillingthe salt reservoir! Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade orgritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impairthe functioning of the water softener.15
Warning and Safety instructions In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cutlery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket withthe handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, placeknives and forks etc. with the handles upwards. Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery should notbe cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape. If you use the "FlexiTimer/Delay start" option (depending onmodel), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent.Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thoroughly dispersed. Please observe the information given in "Technical data" regardingthe capacity of the dishwasher.Accessories Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts withthis appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.Disposal of your old dishwasher Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in.
