2.3 Electrical safety
– The electrical safety of this machine is guaranteed only if it is connected to a correctly installed
earthing circuit and a residual-current circuit breaker. It is very important that this basic safety
requirement is tested and in case of doubt the installation must be checked by a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by a missing or broken
earthing circuit (e.g. electrical shock).
2.4 Safety notes for maintenance and repairs
– Maintenance work and repairs may only be performed by authorised Miele service technicians.
Improper maintenance or repairs may cause significant danger for the user, for which Miele is
not liable.
– When performing installation and maintenance work, disconnect the machine from the power
network. Electricity consumers (heating element, frequency inverter, ...) are under voltage until
the on-site mains disconnector has been operated.
– Only original Miele spare parts may be used for maintenance and repairs. If original spare parts
are not used, the warranty is invalidated.
– A damaged or leaking machine can endanger your safety. In case of defects, switch off the
machine immediately. Switch off the on-site mains disconnector (main switch). Only then is the
machine without power.
– Do not operate a damaged machine. In case of defects resulting from an unknown cause,
switch off the machine, and switch it on again only when the defect has been rectified.
– Contact your installer and/or electrician if the on-site water and/or electricity supply is the cause
of the malfunction.
– Notify an authorised service technician or your retailer if another fault has occurred.
– If the mains cable of this machine is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his
Customer Service or another qualified person in order to prevent hazards. The mains cable
must be H07 RN-F type or equivalent. Only for Canada: The mains cable must have AWG wir-
ing.
– Do not spray the machine and the surrounding area (panels, base) using a water hose, steam-
jet air ejector or high-pressure cleaner.
– Ensure that the base of the machine is not flooded when cleaning the floor in order to prevent
an uncontrolled inflow of water.
2.5 General safety notes

operating instructions for future reference. Miele does not assume liability or warranty in case

instructions. Allow the Miele Service Department to provide information about the operation
and functioning of the commercial dishwasher. Always operate the machine as described in
these operating instructions.
– Train the operating personnel as regards handling the machine and inform them about the
safety notes. Repeat the training sessions at regular intervals to prevent accidents.

test button.
