Correct installation
Do not install this dishwasher in an area where there is a risk of explosion or freezing
conditions.
To ensure stability a built-under dishwasher must only be installed beneath a continuous
worktop that is bolted to the adjacent cabinetry.
In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the furniture in the area
around the dishwasher should ideally be designed for commercial use.
Furniture can be protected using the vapour protection set, which is available as an op-
tional accessory.
The vapour barrier film should be stuck under the worktop in the area around the dish-
washer door.
Technical safety
This dishwasher must only be commissioned, repaired and maintained by the Miele
Customer Service Department, a dealer or a suitably qualified service technician. Unau-
thorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user.
Before using the dishwasher, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not use a
damaged dishwasher. This could be dangerous.
In the event of a damaged or leaking dishwasher, switch off at the power supply imme-
diately and call the Miele Customer Service Department, a Miele dealer or a suitably quali-
fied service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only
when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the correct functioning and safety of the
appliance.
The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed.
If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
Please follow the advice on installation in these operating instructions and the installa-
tion plan.
Before connecting the appliance, ensure that the connection data on the data plate
(voltage, frequency and fuse rating) match the mains electrical supply.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger of overheating and
fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug. See “Electrical connection”.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply via a multi-socket unit or
an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
Never open the casing of the dishwasher. Any contact with live connections or tamper-
ing with the electrical or mechanical components of the dishwasher will endanger your
safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
The dishwasher must not be used if the electrical connection cable is damaged. A dam-
aged connection cable may only be replaced by a suitable connection cable of the same
type. For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by the Miele Customer
Service Department or a qualified service technician.
