							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.

							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

							~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

							~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.
