IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety
Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be per‐
formed by a Miele-authorized service technician. Work by unquali‐
fied persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Before installation, check the dishwasher for visible signs of dam‐
age. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged dishwash‐
er. A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective grounding
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the elec‐
trical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electri‐
cian.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
grounding system (e.g. electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be assur‐
ed if it has been connected to the electrical supply.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket using a 3-pin plug with a grounding
contact (it must not be hard-wired). The electrical socket must be
easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be
disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. There
is a danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher is pushed
up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a cooktop. The high
radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a cooktop
could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason, it should not be
installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat,
such as heaters, etc.
