Miele PFD 101 Operating Instructions Manual page 11


The dishwasher may only be operated if the door-opening mecha-
nism is working correctly. Otherwise there could be a risk of danger
while the automatic door-opening mechanism (depending on the
model) is active.
The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the
factory-installed door springs is 22-26.5 lb (10–12 kg) (depending on
model).
To check that the door-opening mechanism is working correctly:
- The door springs must be evenly adjusted on both sides. They are
correctly adjusted when the door remains stationary when left half
open (approx. 45° opening angle). It is also important that the
door cannot fall open.
- The door locking pins automatically retract when the door opens
at the end of the drying phase.

The control elements of the dishwasher must not be tampered
with.

WARNING - Fire hazard! Do not cover or crush the plug of the ap-
pliance. Ensure that the cabinet opening for the dishwasher provides
ample space for the plug and cord. Installing the dishwasher in a
tight space may crimp the power cord or put pressure on it. See
"Electrical connection".

Do not use an extension cord to connect this machine to electric-
ity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the ma-
chine (e.g., danger of overheating).

Do not open the casing of the dishwasher. Any contact with live
connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical compo-
nents of the dishwasher will endanger your safety and may lead to
machine malfunctions.

The dishwasher must not be used if the wire is damaged. A dam-
aged wire may only be replaced by a suitable wire of the same type.
For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by
Miele Technical Service or a qualified service technician.
