Technical safety
 Unauth
orised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re‐
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 A d
amaged dishwasher is dangerous. Check it for any recognisa‐
ble damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
 The ele
ctrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re‐
quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installa‐
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
 Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assur‐
ed if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The dishwasher must on
ly be plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket using a suitable fused plug (it must
not be hard-wired). 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.
 Ther
e must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Dan‐
ger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed
up against a plug.
 The dishwasher must no
t be installed under a hob. The high radi‐
ant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could
damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be instal‐
led next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such
as heaters etc.
 To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequen‐
cy) match the mains electricity supply before connecting the dish‐
washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
