IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed if it is
grounded properly. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the on-site wiring
system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate grounding system (e.g.
electric shock).

A damaged or leaking machine could be dangerous and
compromise your safety. Disconnect the machine from the electrical
supply immediately and contact Miele Service.

As standard, the drain water of the machine will reach
temperatures greater than 160 °F (70 °C). At this temperature, drain
water can potentially damage the drain system. In order to reduce
damage to the drain system, Miele offers an optional drain water
cool-down kit.

Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly.
Untrained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or
its controls.

Only use process chemicals which have been approved by the
manufacturer for use in the application you are using. The process
chemical manufacturer is responsible for any negative effects on the
material the load is made of and for any damage they may cause to
the machine.

Use caution when handling process chemicals. These may contain
irritant, corrosive or toxic ingredients.
Please observe the process chemical manufacturer's safety
instructions and safety data sheets.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.

The machine is designed for operation with water and
recommended additive process chemicals only. Organic solvents and
flammable liquid agents must not be used as this could cause an
explosion, damage rubber or plastic components in the machine and
cause liquids to leak out of it.

The water in the wash cabinet is NOT safe to drink!

Use caution not to inhale powder process chemicals. Process
chemicals can cause chemical burns in the mouth and throat or lead
to asphyxiation.

Do not lift the machine by protruding parts such as the control
panel or the opened service flap as these could be damaged or torn
off.

Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
machine to tip and get damaged or cause injury.

Use caution when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and
positioning them in the machine.
