Warning and Safety instructions
9
The electrical safety of this dishwasher can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a
qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems.
The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele
product must also be assured in their function and operation in
isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or
replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
The dishwasher must only be connected to the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket using a 3-pole plug with protective
contact (it must not be hardwired). The 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 concealed behind the
dishwasher because the building-in niche may be too small, creating
a risk of overheating if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against
the plug (fire hazard).
The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The
high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the
dishwasher below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be
installed next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such
as heaters etc.
Ensure that the connection data on the dishwasher’s data plate
(fuse rating, frequency and voltage) match the electricity supply to
prevent damage to the dishwasher. Compare these before
connecting the appliance to the mains electricity. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply until it has
been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door
springs.
