Warning and Safety instructions



The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical

valve. The housing must not be dipped in water.



There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Do not cut the hose,

even if it is too long.



The integrated water protection system offers protection from

water damage, provided the following conditions are met:

- Installation has been carried out correctly.

- The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced

when they are visibly damaged.

- The tap is turned off during longer absences from the home (e.g.

whilst on holiday).

The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is
switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to
the electricity supply.



The water connection pressure needs to be between 50 and

1,000 kPa.



A damaged dishwasher could be dangerous. If the dishwasher

gets damaged, switch it off at the mains immediately and contact
Miele customer service.



The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is

not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.



Defective components must be replaced with original parts. If

original Miele parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full
compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid.



During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher

must be disconnected from the electricity supply (switch it off and
withdraw the plug from the socket).



If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced

with a special cable of the same type (available from Miele) by a
Miele authorised service technician only in order to avoid a hazard.
