Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a qualified technician.

Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher, check it for any visible damage. Never use a
damaged dishwasher.

The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety re-
quirement is present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be
checked by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
or lack of earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable socket and plug (e.g. a switched socket and fused 3-
pin plug in the UK). 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 be-
cause the building-in niche may be too small. Danger of overheating
and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.

The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a hob. The high
temperatures radiated by hobs could damage the dishwasher below.
For the same reason, the appliance must not be installed next to
open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters
etc., not normally found in a kitchen.
