    							This appliance conforms to 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 appliance, please
    read these instructions carefully
    before using it for the first time. They
    contain important information on its
    safety, use and maintenance.
    Keep these instructions in a safe
    place and pass them on to any
    future owner.
    Correct application
    ~This dishwasher is intended
    exclusively for cleaning domestic
    crockery and cutlery in a domestic
    household. Using it for purposes other
    than those for which it was designed,
    as well as any alterations or
    conversions to the appliance, would be
    unauthorised and could cause harm.
    The manufacturer cannot be held liable
    for damage resulting from improper or
    incorrect use of the appliance.
    ~This dishwasher is not intended for
    use by persons (including children)
    with reduced physical, sensory or
    mental capabilities, or lack of
    experience and knowledge, unless they
    are supervised whilst using it or they
    have been given instruction concerning
    its use by a person responsible for their
    safety.
    Safety with children
    ~This appliance is not a toy! To avoid
    the risk of injury, keep children well
    away and do not allow them to play in
    or around the dishwasher, or to use the
    controls. They will not understand the
    potential dangers posed by it. They
    should be supervised whenever you
    are working in the kitchen. There is a
    danger that children playing might shut
    themselves in the dishwasher.
    ~Older children may only use the
    dishwasher when its operation has
    been clearly explained to them and
    they are able to use it safely,
    recognising the dangers of misuse.
    ~Keep children away from
    detergents. Dishwasher detergents
    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 detergent residues in the cabinet.
    Consult a doctor immediately if your
    child has swallowed or inhaled
    detergent.
    Warning and Safety instructions
    6
     
    						
    							Technical safety
    ~Before setting up the appliance,
    check it for any externally visible
    damage. Under no circumstances
    should you use a damaged appliance.
    A damaged appliance could be
    dangerous.
    ~The dishwasher must only be
    plugged into the electricity supply via a
    suitable switched socket. The electrical
    socket must be easily accessible after
    the dishwasher has been installed so
    that it can be disconnected from the
    electricity supply at any time. (See
    Electrical connection).
    ~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.
    ~The dishwasher must not be
    installed under a hob. The high radiant
    temperatures which are sometimes
    generated by a hob could damage 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.
    ~Do not connect the dishwasher to
    the mains supply until it has been fully
    installed.
    ~Before connecting the appliance,
    check that the connection data on the
    data plate (voltage and connected
    load) match the mains electricity
    supply. If in any doubt, consult a
    qualified electrician.
    ~The electrical safety of this
    appliance can only be guaranteed
    when continuity is complete between it
    and an effective earthing system. It is
    most important that this basic safety
    requirement is present and regularly
    tested and where there is any doubt the
    electrical system in the house should
    be checked by a qualified electrician.
    The manufacturer cannot be held liable
    for the consequences of an inadequate
    earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
    ~Do not connect the appliance 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).
    Warning and Safety instructions
    7
     
    						
    							~This equipment may only be
    installed in mobile installations such as
    ships if a risk assessment of the
    installation has been carried out by a
    suitably qualified engineer.
    ~The plastic housing of the water
    connection contains an electrical
    component. The housing must not be
    dipped in water.
    ~There are live wires in the water inlet
    hose. Never cut the water inlet hose,
    even if it is too long.
    ~The integrated Waterproof System
    offers protection from water damage,
    provided the following conditions are
    met:
    – The dishwasher is correctly installed
    and plumbed in.
    – The dishwasher is properly
    maintained and parts are replaced
    where it can be seen that this is
    necessary.
    –
    The stopcock has been turned off
    when the appliance is not used for a
    longer period of time (e.g. during
    holidays).
    The Waterproof system will work even if
    the appliance is switched off. However,
    the appliance must remain connected
    to the electricity supply.
    ~A damaged appliance could be
    dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
    damaged, switch it off at the mains and
    call your Miele Chartered Agent or the
    Miele Service Department.
    ~Unauthorised repairs could result in
    unforeseen dangers for the user, for
    which Miele cannot accept liability.
    Repairs should only be undertaken by a
    Miele approved service technician.
    ~Faulty components must only be
    replaced by genuine Miele original
    spare parts. The manufacturer can only
    guarantee the safety of the appliance
    when Miele replacement parts are
    used.
    ~Always disconnect the dishwasher
    from the electrical supply for
    maintenance work (switch off at the wall
    socket and remove the plug).
    ~If the connection cable is damaged
    it must be replaced with a Miele cable
    by a Miele approved service technician
    only.
    ~In areas which may be subject to
    infestation by cockroaches or other
    vermin, pay particular attention to
    keeping the appliance and its
    surroundings in a clean condition at all
    times. Any damage which may be
    caused by cockroaches or other vermin
    will not be covered by the guarantee.

    							Installation
    ~The dishwasher must be installed
    and connected in compliance with the
    installation instructions.
    ~The dishwasher must be correctly
    aligned to ensure problem-free
    operation.
    ~In order to ensure stability,
    built-under and integrated dishwashers
    must only be installed under a
    continuous worktop which is secured to
    adjacent cabinetry.
    ~If you want to convert your
    freestanding dishwasher to a
    built-under (U) model, you will need to
    order the appropriate conversion kit. If
    you remove the existing plinth, you
    must replace it with a U-model plinth.
    This is necessary to avoid the risk of
    injury caused by protruding metal
    parts.
    Correct use
    ~Do not use solvents in the
    dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
    ~Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher
    detergent. Dishwasher detergents
    contain irritant or corrosive ingredients
    which can cause burning in the nose,
    mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
    breathing. Consult a doctor immediate
    -
    ly if detergent has been swallowed or
    inhaled.
    ~Avoid leaving the door open
    unnecessarily, as you could trip over it.
    ~Do not sit or lean on the opened
    door. This could cause the dishwasher
    to tip and be damaged, and you could
    get injured.
    ~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 may cause
    damage, and there is a risk of severe
    chemical reaction.
    ~Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with
    powder or liquid detergent. This will
    cause serious damage to the reservoir.
    Warning and Safety instructions
    9
     
    						
    							~Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
    with powder or liquid dishwasher
    detergent will damage the water
    softener. Make sure you have picked
    up the correct packet of dishwasher
    salt before filling the salt reservoir!
    ~Please only use special coarse
    grained dishwasher salt for reactivation,
    as other salts may contain insoluble
    additives which can impair the
    functioning of the softener.
    ~In an appliance with a cutlery basket
    (depending on model) cutlery is
    cleaned and dried more efficiently if
    placed in the basket with the handles
    downwards. However, to avoid the risk
    of injury, place knives 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 and crockery should not be
    cleaned in the dishwasher. The high
    temperatures in the dishwasher may
    cause them to melt or lose shape.
    ~On models with Delay start, 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.
    Accessories
    ~Only use genuine Miele spare parts
    and accessories with this appliance. If
    spare parts or accessories from other
    manufacturers are used, this 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. Make appropriate
    arrangements for the disposal of the
    appliance.
    The manufacturer cannot be held
    liable for damage caused by
    non-compliance with these Warning
    and Safety instructions.
