Warning and Safety instructions
16

In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model) cut‐
lery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with
the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place
knives and forks etc. with the handles upwards.

Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers, or plastic cutlery and crock‐
ery should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures
in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.

If you use the "FlexiTimer/Delay start" option (depending on mod‐
el), make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent.
Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dis‐
penser and may not be thoroughly dispersed.

Please observe the information given in "Technical data" regard‐
ing the capacity of the dishwasher.
Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or ac‐
cessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be in‐
validated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Disposal of your old dishwasher

Make the door lock inoperative so that children cannot acciden‐
tally shut themselves in. Remove or destroy the locking bracket of
the door lock, and make appropriate arrangements for the disposal
of the appliance.
