en - Warning and Safety instructions

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.

The dishwasher must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any
maintenance or repair work is carried out.

The plastic housing of the water connection contains electrical components. It must not
be dipped in water.

There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not shorten the water inlet hose,
even if it is too long.

Correct use


This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and detergents suitable for use in
commercial dishwashers only. Organic solvents and flammable liquid agents must not be
used in it.
This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components in the dishwasher
and cause liquids to leak out of it.

Only use detergents formulated for use in commercial dishwashers. Unsuitable deter-
gents could adversely affect components of the dishwasher or the load items.

Do not sit, stand or lean on the opened door. This would tip or damage the dishwasher.

After any plumbing work the water pipework to the dishwasher will need to be vented. If
this is not done, components can be damaged.

Please be aware that the dishwasher may be operating at high temperatures. When the
door is opened there is a danger of burning or scalding. Items, baskets and inserts must
be allowed to cool down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining in containers
could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash chamber before taking them out.

The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water.

Pre-treating items (for example with washing-up liquid and other cleaning agents) as
well as some types of soiling and some cleaning agents can cause a build-up of foam in
the wash cabinet. Foam can have an adverse effect on the cleaning result.

Foam escaping from the wash cabinet can cause damage to the dishwasher. If foam es-
capes the programme must be cancelled immediately and the appliance must be discon-
nected from the mains electrical supply.

There may be a risk of slipping if liquid is spilt on the floor depending on the type of
flooring and footwear being worn. Keep the floor dry where possible and take care to clean
up any liquid spills straight away. Take the necessary precautions when cleaning up haz-
ardous substances and hot liquids.

When using cleaning agents and specialised products, it is essential that the manufac-
turer's instructions are followed. Cleaning agents must only be used for the purpose they
are designed for by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of
strong chemical reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).
