IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15
In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives
and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket
for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles down-
wards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle down
in the cutlery basket will come out cleaner and drier.
Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dish-
washer may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent
compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary.
The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is
not dry, and this may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.
Accessories and parts
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-
ranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims will be
invalidated.
Transport
Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no
water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.
If you wish to transport the dishwasher, empty it and securely fas-
ten all loose parts such as baskets, hoses, and cords.
Disposal of your old dishwasher
Remove the door of the dishwasher so that children cannot be-
come trapped inside.
