Warnings and safety instructions
9
Technical safety
Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and
repairs must only be carried out by a qualified technician.
Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before
using the dishwasher and in particular following transport, check it
for any visible damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher.
The electrical safety of the dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when correctly grounded. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is fulfilled. 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 grounding system (e.g., electric shock).
Reliable and safe operation of this dishwasher can only be
assured if it has been connected to the domestic electricity supply.
If the dishwasher is plugged into the domestic electricity supply
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
domestic electricity supply at any time.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher
because 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 cooktop. The
high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the
dishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher 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.
