Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to

electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by

a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy, of an effective grounding system.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with

the installation instructions.

Installation and repair work should be performed by a Miele

authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.

Do not install or use a damaged dishwasher. A damaged appliance

is dangerous. Unplug the machine and call your Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely

and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

It is recommended that the dishwasher only be connected to

the mains with the plug (no hard-wiring). The outlet must be accessible at all times after installation to disconnect the dishwasher.

, WARNING - Fire hazard

Do not cover or crush the plug of the appliance. Ensure that the cabinet opening for the dishwasher provides ample space for the plug. Installing the dishwasher in a tight space may crimp the power cord or put pressure on the plug which could cause overheating.

This dishwasher should only be installed under a continuous

counter top secured to adjacent cabinetry.

Do not install this dishwasher beneath a cooking surface, oven or

any appliance that radiates heat.

High temperatures from these units may damage the dishwasher.

When installing the dishwasher under a counter top and removing

the toekick, a build-under toekick must be installed. Use the respective installation kit. Danger of injuries.

Do not cut the intake hose or submerge it in liquid. This hose

contains electrical components that could cause injury or property damage if cut or submerged.

Only connect the dishwasher to the mains when all installation and

plumbing work is complete.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in, on or near

the dishwasher.

Only use the dishwasher if all panels are properly in place.

Do not tamper with the controls.

Do not damage, sit or stand on the door or baskets of the dishwasher.

Close the door when not in use.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may 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, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes before using the dishwasher. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Be sure that all items placed in the dishwasher are "dishwasher safe".

For items not labeled, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

When loading tableware, place sharp items away from the door to

prevent damage to the seal. Load sharp items pointing downwards to prevent injuries.

Only use detergents and rinse aids recommended for residential

dishwashers. Keep all detergents and rinse aids out of the reach of children.

Do not inhale or swallow detergents. Dishwasher detergents

contain irritant and corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

Do not drink water from the dishwasher! Harmful residues

could be present.

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with detergent. It will damage the

rinse aid compartment.

If the power cord is damaged it must only be replaced by a Miele

Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord.

Disposal of an appliance

If the appliance is removed from its installation site and will not be

used, remove the doorlock to the wash cabinet to prevent children from locking themselves in the machine.

Caring for the environment

Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity. For best results follow these tips:

^For lowest energy consumption and the gentlest washing of china and crystal, connect the dishwasher to a cold water source.

^For fastest possible wash times, yet higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source.

^Make full use of the baskets without overloading for the most economical washing.

^Use the correct amount of detergent and rinse aid.

^When using powder or gel detergent, reduce the amount to 2/3 of the normal amount when washing a small load.

^Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.

^For small loads select "Short".

Loading the dishwasher

,Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in the dishwasher.

Ash and sand do not dissolve and will be distributed throughout the inside of the dishwasher.

Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration and damage to the dishwasher.

^Scrape food from dishes before placing them in the dishwasher, rinsing is not necessary.

^Some foods contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items may discolor permanently if they come in contact with food dyes.

^All items can be placed anywhere in the baskets.

^Load dishes so that water can reach all surfaces. Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces.

^Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

^Hollow items such as cups and glasses should be placed upside down in the baskets.

^To ensure good water coverage, tall, narrow and hollow items,

i.e. vases or champagne glasses, should be placed in the center of the basket rather than in the corners.

^Concave based items such as mugs or bowls, should be placed at an angle so that water does not pool.

^The spray arms must not be blocked by items that are too tall or hang through the baskets. Check clearance by manually rotating the spray arms.

^Place very small items in the cutlery tray or basket so they do not fall to the bottom of the wash cabinet.

^Food residue and spilled liquids should be cleaned from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms.

Wooden cutting boards

Glued items such as old knives with handles glued together around the shank of the blade

Handmade craft items, antique, metal trimmed or decorative glassware

Plastic items that are not heat resistant

Copper, brass, tin or aluminum

Glassware:

There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware, when in doubt wash by hand.

When purchasing new dishes, glasses and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe. Only wash items marked "dishwasher safe" in the dishwasher.

If fine glassware is washed in the dishwasher select the "China & Crystal" program*. This will reduce the risk of clouding.

Silver and aluminum:

Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.

Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may be damp or spotted at the end of a program where water has adhered to the polish. This can be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth. Silver that has been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may tarnish.

If left to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish and marinades.

Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals.

Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease filters, with domestic dishwasher detergent only.
