    							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.
    Correct usage
    The dishwasher is not designed for
    commercial use. It is intended for use in
    domestic households and in similar
    working and residential environments
    such as, shops, offices and showrooms
    or guest houses.
    The dishwasher is not intended for
    outdoor use.
    It must only be used as a domestic
    appliance as specified in these
    operating instructions, for cleaning
    domestic crockery and cutlery. Any
    other usage is not supported by the
    manufacturer and could be dangerous.
    Persons who lack physical, sensory
    or mental abilities, or experience with
    the appliance should not use the
    dishwasher without supervision or
    instruction by a responsible person.
    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.
    If the supplied power cord is
    damaged it must only be replaced by a
    Miele Service technician with a genuine
    Miele power cord.
    The outlet must be accessible at all
    times after installation to disconnect the
    dishwasher.
    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    4
     
    						
    							Installation
    The dishwasher must be installed
    and connected in accordance 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
    contact 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 appliance must not be used in
    a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
    boat).
    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 and cord.
    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.
    A toe-kick must be used with the
    dishwasher. If the supplied toe-kick is
    not used, a cabinet matching toe-kick
    must be installed.
    Do not install the dishwasher in an
    area where it will be exposed to
    temperatures below freezing.
    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 power up the dishwasher 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. It is possible for small
    fingers may be pinched in the door.
    Only use the dishwasher if all panels
    are properly in place.
    Do not tamper with the controls.
    Do not 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.
    Dishes can be very hot at the end of
    a program. Allow the dishes to cool
    until they are cool enough to handle
    before unloading them.
    The water supply must be turned off
    when the appliance is not used for a
    longer period of time (e.g. during
    vacations).
    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.

    							Energy saving washing
    This dishwasher is exceptionally
    economical in the use of water and
    electricity. For best results follow these
    tips:
    For lowest energy consumption you
    may connect the dishwasher to a
    cold water source.
    For fastest possible wash times, with
    slightly higher energy consumption,
    connect the dishwasher to a hot
    water source.
    Make full use of the baskets without
    overloading for the most economical
    washing.
    Use the correct amount of detergent
    and rinse aid. Detergent dosage is
    dependent upon the amount of
    soiling and type of dishware being
    washed. See the Program Guide for
    more information.
    When using powder or gel detergent,
    reduce the amount to
    2/3of the
    normal amount when washing a small
    load.
    
    Choose a program that best suits the
    degree of soiling and the type of
    dishes being washed.
