IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety
Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re-
pairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorized 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 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 service technician.
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 as-
sured if it has been connected to the power supply.
Where the dishwasher is plugged into the electricity supply using
a 3-pin plug with a grounding contact, 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 cooktop. The
high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the dish-
washer below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be in-
stalled next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such
as heaters etc., not normally found in a kitchen.
