Warning and Safety instructions
Repair work may only be carried
out by an authorised Miele service
technician or other suitably qualified
and competent person. Repairs by un-
qualified persons could be dangerous.
Personnel operating the machine
should be trained regularly. Child-
ren and untrained personnel should not
be allowed access to the machine or
its controls.
Do not allow children to play in or
around the dishwasher, or to oper-
ate it. There is a danger they could get
into the machine and lock themselves
in.
Take care when handling liquid
agents/additives. These may con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients. On
no account use any organic solvent, as
there may be the danger of an explo-
sion occuring.
Follow the instructions and relevant
safety procedures carefully. Wear pro-
tective gloves and goggles. With all
chemical agents the manufacturer’s
safety instructions must be observed.
Avoid inhalation of powder deter-
gents.
They can cause burning in the mouth
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit brea-
thing.
The water in the machine must not
be used as drinking water.
Do not sit or lean on the open
door. This could cause the ma-
chine to tip and be damaged.
Be careful when sorting sharp-
pointed items. You may prefer to
place cutlery with sharp points with the
handles upwards to avoid possible in-
jury.
When using this machine in the
higher temperature ranges be
especially careful not to scald or burn
yourself. Baskets and inserts must first
cool down. Any water which may re-
main in containers will be very hot and
must be emptied into the wash cabinet.
Do not touch the heating elements
during or directly after the end of a
programme, you could burn yourself.
They remain hot for a while after the
end of a programme.
Never clean the machine or close
vicinity with a water hose or a high
pressure hose.
Before any maintenance or repair
work is undertaken, the machine
must be disconnected from the mains

lator or switching off the mains fuse.
