Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can however lead to personal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before starting to use this appliance. This way you will prevent the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference, and pass them on to any future user.
Correct usage
This dishwasher is intended exclusively for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery in a domestic household. Using it for purposes other than those for which it was designed, as well as any alterations or conversions to the machine would be unauthorised and could cause harm. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.
Delivery
Before setting up the machine check it for any externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged machine. A damaged machine is dangerous.
Please ensure that the packaging material is offered for recycling.
Installation
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with the installation instructions.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher has been installed.
In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has been installed.
Check that the voltage, frequency and fuse rating shown on the data plate match the household mains supply.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested and where there is any doubt, the electrical system in the house is checked by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Warning and Safety instructions
This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
A damaged machine is dangerous.
Switch off at the mains and call your Miele supplier or the Miele Service
Department.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing must therefore not be dipped in water.
There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Never cut the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.
For safety reasons do not operate this appliance on an extension cable. (Danger of overheating).
Daily use
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water. This water is not drinking water.
Avoid inhalation of powder detergents. Do not ingest dishwasher detergent! Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged and you could get injured.
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model) cutlery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury place cutlery with sharp points with the handles upwards.
Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.
Only use rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or gritting salt.
These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as disposable plastic containers, or plastic cutlery and crockery should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.

Warning and Safety instructions
Take care on dishwashers with a visible heater element
(depending on model)
Do not touch the heating element during or directly after the end of a programme. It will be hot. Danger of burning!
Some plastic items could melt or catch fire if they were to come into contact with the heating element.
Therefore always place plastic items or any other items which may not be completely heat resistant in the upper basket and ensure they cannot drop down onto the heater element.
Any items which are too small to be lodged securely in the upper basket should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
To avoid the danger of children coming into contact with the dishwasher detergent: only add detergent just before starting the programme and close the door, activating the child safety lock (depending on model).
Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.
To ensure children do not come into contact with detergent on models with the "Delay start" option make sure the dispenser is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thoroughly dispersed. If the door is open at the end of a programme, children may come into contact with this residue.
Safety with children
Do not allow children to play in or around the dishwasher, or to operate it. There is a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent.
To avoid machine and material damage
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent always leads to serious damage to the water softener.
Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!
Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may damage material and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.
