    							WARNING –
    When using your dishwasher, follow
    basic precautions, including the
    following:
    Read all instructions before
    installation or use of the dishwasher
    to prevent injury and machine
    damage.
    Use the dishwasher only for its
    intended purpose. This appliance is
    intended for residential use only.
    Keep these operating instructions in
    a safe place and pass them on to
    any future user.
    Electrical Safety
    Before installation, make sure that
    the voltage and frequency listed on the
    data plate correspond with the
    household electrical supply. This data
    must correspond to prevent injury and
    machine damage. Consult a qualified
    electrician if in doubt.
    Before installation or service,
    disconnect the power supply to the
    work area by unplugging the unit,
    tripping the circuit breaker or
    removing the fuse.
    Do not use an extension cord to
    connect this appliance to electricity.
    Extension cords do not guarantee the
    required safety of the appliance (e.g.
    danger of overheating).
    Be certain your appliance is
    properly installed and grounded by a
    qualified technician. To guarantee the
    electrical safety of this appliance
    continuity must exist between the
    appliance and an effective grounding
    system. It is imperative that this basic
    safety requirement be met. If there is
    any doubt, have the electrical system of
    the house checked by a qualified
    electrician.
    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    4
     
    						
    							Installation
    The dishwasher must be installed
    and connected in compliance with the
    installation instructions.
    Installation and repair work should
    be performed by a Miele authorized
    service technician. Work by unqualified
    persons could be dangerous and may
    void the warranty.
    Do not install or use a damaged
    dishwasher. A damaged appliance is
    dangerous. Unplug the machine and
    call your Miele dealer or the Miele
    Technical Service Department.
    Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
    bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
    kept out of the reach of children.
    Danger of suffocation!
    This equipment is not designed for
    maritime use or for use in mobile
    installations such as recreational
    vehicles or aircraft. However, under
    certain conditions it may be possible for
    an installation in these applications.
    Please contact the nearest Miele dealer
    or the Miele Technical Service
    Department with specific requirements.
    It is recommended that the
    dishwasher only be connected to the
    mains with the plug (no hard-wiring).
    The outlet must be accessible at all
    times after installation to disconnect the
    dishwasher.
    WARNING - Fire hazard
    Do not cover or crush the plug of the
    appliance. Ensure that the cabinet
    opening for the dishwasher provides
    ample space for the plug. Installing the
    dishwasher in a tight space may crimp
    the power cord or put pressure on the
    plug which could cause overheating.
    This dishwasher should only be
    installed under a continuous counter
    top secured to adjacent cabinetry.
    Do not install this dishwasher
    beneath a cooking surface, oven or any
    appliance that radiates heat.
    High temperatures from these units
    may damage the dishwasher.
    When installing the dishwasher
    under a counter top and removing the
    toe-kick, a build-under toe-kick must be
    installed. Use the respective installation
    kit. Danger of injuries.
    Do not cut the intake hose or
    submerge it in liquid. This hose
    contains electrical components that
    could cause injury or property damage
    if cut or submerged.
    Only connect the dishwasher to the
    mains when all installation and
    plumbing work is complete.
    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    5
     
    						
    							Use
    To reduce the risk of injury, do not
    allow children to play in, on or near the
    dishwasher.
    Only use the dishwasher if all panels
    are properly in place.
    Do not tamper with the controls.
    Do not damage, sit or stand on the
    door or baskets of the dishwasher.
    Close the door when not in use.
    Under certain conditions, hydrogen
    gas may be produced in a hot water
    system that has not been used for two
    weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
    EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has
    not been used for such a period, turn
    on all hot water faucets and let water
    flow from each for several minutes
    before using the dishwasher. This will
    release any accumulated hydrogen
    gas. Do not smoke or use an open
    flame during this time.
    Be sure that all items placed in the
    dishwasher are dishwasher safe. For
    items not labeled, check the
    manufacturer’s recommendations.
    When loading tableware, place
    sharp items away from the door to
    prevent damage to the seal. Load
    sharp items pointing downwards to
    prevent injuries.
    Only use detergents and rinse aids
    recommended for residential
    dishwashers. Keep all detergents and
    rinse aids out of the reach of children.
    Do not inhale or swallow detergents.
    Dishwasher detergents contain irritant
    and corrosive ingredients. They can
    cause burning in the mouth and throat if
    swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult
    a doctor immediately if detergent has
    been swallowed or inhaled.
    Do not drink water from the
    dishwasher! Harmful residues could be
    present.
    Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir or
    salt container with detergent. It will
    destroy the rinse aid compartment and
    water softener.
    If the power cord is damaged it
    must only be replaced by a Miele
    Service technician with a genuine Miele
    power cord.
    This model offers a Drying Plus
    feature, i.e. the door will automatically
    open, without an audible signal first
    being given, at the end of the program
    releasing warm air from the dishwasher.
    Use caution, the air may be hot!
    This model offers an AutoClose
    feature, i.e. the door will automatically
    shut once close enough to engage the
    catch.
    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    6
     
    						
    							Advise the user of the AutoClose
    feature to avoid injuries by walking,
    bumping or knocking into the partially
    opened door.
    Supervise children near the
    dishwasher to ensure fingers or other
    parts of the body are not caught when
    the AutoClose feature is in operation.
    Disposal of an appliance
    If the appliance is removed from its
    installation site and will not be used,
    remove the doorlock to the wash
    cabinet to prevent children from locking
    themselves in the machine.
