IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
Proper installation
Do not install the machine in an area where a danger of explosion or of freezing tempera-
tures may be present.
To ensure the stability of undercounter dishwashers, these units may only be installed
beneath a continuous countertop that is bolted to adjacent cabinetry.
In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the cabinetry in the area around
the dishwasher should be designed for commercial use.
Delicate cabinetry can be protected using the damp protection set, which is available as an
optional accessory.
The vapor barrier film needs to be adhered to the underside of the countertop where the
dishwasher door is opened.
Technical safety
This dishwasher should be installed, commissioned, repaired, and maintained by Miele
Service, a dealer, or a suitably qualified specialist. Unauthorized installation, maintenance,
and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user.
This dishwasher should only be operated by appropriately trained personnel. They should
be instructed and trained regularly.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. 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 immedi-
ately and call Miele Technical Service, a Miele dealer, or a suitably qualified service techni-
cian.
Faulty components should only be replaced by genuine Miele original parts. Only when
these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the safety standards of the appliance.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are
in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
Please follow the advice on installation in these operating instructions and the installa-
tion plan.
Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage, frequency, and fuse rating)
match those of your electrical supply.
WARNING - Fire hazard! Do not cover or crush the plug of the appliance. Ensure that the
cabinet opening for the dishwasher provides ample space for the plug and cord. Installing
the dishwasher in a tight space may crimp the power cord or put pressure on it. See “Elec-
trical connection”.
Do not use an extension cord to connect this machine to electricity. Extension cords do
not guarantee the required safety of the machine (e.g., danger of overheating).
Do not 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 machine malfunctions.
