IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Depending on the properties of the flooring and footwear worn on
it, liquids can cause a slipping hazard. Keep the floor dry where pos-
sible and take care to clean up any liquid spills straight away. Take
the necessary precautions when cleaning up hazardous substances
and hot liquids.

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 manufac-
turer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong
chemical reactions (e.g., oxyhydrogen explosion).

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas might be produced in a
hot-water system that has not been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not
been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all
hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several min-
utes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical detergents may
have on the material of the items being cleaned. Observe the deter-
gent manufacturer's instructions with regard to storage conditions,
use, and dosage.

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 in-
haled.

People aged 16 and above may refill the dishwasher detergent or
change the media canister provided that they know exactly what
they are doing.

Powder and liquid detergents containing active chlorine must not
be used. You may damage plastic parts and the seals of the dish-
washer.
