Technical safety
Unauth
orised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re‐
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
A damaged dishwasher is dangerous. Check it for any recognisa‐
ble damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
The ele
ctrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re‐
quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installa‐
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
The dishwasher must on
ly be plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily
accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be discon‐
nected from the electricity supply at any time.
Ther
e must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Dan‐
ger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed
up against a plug.
The dishwasher must no
t be installed under a hob. The high radi‐
ant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could
damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be instal‐
led next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such
as heaters etc.
T
o avoid the risk of damage to the dishwasher, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequen‐
cy) match the mains electricity supply before connecting the dish‐
washer to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Do not con
nect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
