Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

A damaged dishwasher is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

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.

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.

To avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and
frequency) match the mains electricity supply before connecting the
dishwasher to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
