Important safety instructions
Correct use

This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and cleaning agents suitable for
use in dishwashers only. Organic solvents and flammable liquid agents must not be used.
This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components in the dishwasher,
and cause liquids to leak out of it.

Only use cleaning agents formulated for use in dishwashers. Unsuitable cleaning
agents could adversely affect components of the dishwasher or the items being cleaned.

Do not sit, stand, or lean on the opened door. This could tip or damage the dishwasher.

After any plumbing work, the water pipework to the dishwasher will need to be vented. If
this is not done, components can be damaged.

Please be aware that the dishwasher may be operating at high temperatures. When the
door is opened there is a risk of burning or scalding. Wash items, baskets, and inserts
must be allowed to cool down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining in containers
could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash cabinet before taking them out.

The water in the wash cabinet is NOT safe to drink!

The pretreatment of items (for example with dishwashing liquid and other detergents),
but also some types of soiling and some detergents, can cause a build-up of foam in the
wash cabinet. Foam can have an adverse effect on the cleaning result.

Foam escaping from the wash chamber can cause damage to the dishwasher. If foam
escapes, the program must be canceled immediately and the dishwasher must be
disconnected from the mains electrical supply.

When using detergents and specialized products, it is essential that the manufacturer's
instructions are followed. Detergents must only be used for the purpose they are designed
for by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong
chemical reactions (e.g., oxyhydrogen explosion).

Do not inhale or ingest powder detergent. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or
corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed,
or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed
or inhaled.

Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical detergents may have on the material
of the items being cleaned. Observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions with regard
to storage conditions, use, and dosage.

To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids or solutions containing
chloride to get into the wash cabinet. Similarly avoid any materials with a corrosive effect.

Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease, or paint in the
dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the dishwasher.

Do not clean the dishwasher or its near vicinity with a hose or a pressure washer.

Ensure that the outer casing of the machine does not come into contact with solutions
or steam containing acid to avoid any corrosion damage.
