							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 appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the
appliance 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 also a danger
that children playing might shut
themselves in the dishwasher.
Older children may only use the
appliance if 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 is
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).
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.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
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 dishwasher may be
dangerous. If the dishwasher gets
damaged, switch it off at the mains and
call your Miele Dealer or the Miele Ser
-
vice Department.
Repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent
technicians in strict accordance with
local and national safety requirements.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
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 countries where there are 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.
