7Correct use
This dishwasher complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use
can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the dishwasher, please read these
instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important
information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. Keep these
instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
This dishwasher with its short programme running times and
powerful cleaning performance is intended for commercial use in
office kitchens, clubhouses, small businesses, active kitchens and
other similar commercial environments.
It is also suitable for use in domestic households and in similar
residential environments for example by customers in hotels, motels,
bed and breakfast and other related establishments.
This dishwasher is not intended for continuous use.
This dishwasher is not suitable for the reprocessing of medical
products or devices.
This machine is designed exclusively for use as a "dishwasher" for
cleaning crockery, glassware and cutlery as described in these
instructions. Any other use, conversions and modification are not
permitted and could be dangerous.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
This dishwasher is intended for stationary, indoor use only.
The special inserts should only be used for their specific
application.
This dishwasher can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the
consequences of incorrect operation.
8Correct use
The dishwasher is equipped with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by
a Miele authorised person or by Miele Service.
9Warning and Safety instructions Correct installation Do not install this dishwasher in an area where there is a risk of explosion or freezing conditions. To ensure stability a built-under dishwasher must only be installed beneath a continuous worktop that is bolted to the adjacent cabinetry. In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the furniture in the area around the dishwasher should be designed for commercial use. Technical safety This dishwasher must only be installed, commissioned, repaired and maintained by Miele Professional Service or a suitably qualified service technician. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. This dishwasher must only be operated by appropriately trained personnel. They must be instructed and trained regularly. 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 mains immediately and call Miele Professional Service or a suitably qualified service technician. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the correct functioning and safety of the appliance. 10
Warning and Safety instructions
The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held
liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
Please follow the advice on installation in these instructions and
the separate Installation diagram.
Before connecting the appliance, ensure that the connection data
on the data plate (voltage, frequency and fuse rating) match the
mains electrical supply.
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher.
Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be
pushed up against a plug. See "Electrical connection".
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply via
a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
Warning. Do not open the casing of the dishwasher. Any contact
with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical
components of the dishwasher will endanger your safety and may
lead to machine malfunctions.
The dishwasher must not be used if the electrical connection
cable is damaged. A damaged connection cable may only be
replaced with a specific connection cable of the same type (available
from Miele Service). For safety reasons, such replacement may only
be carried out by a qualified technician or the Miele Service.
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.
11Warning and Safety instructions The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water damage, provided the following conditions are met: – installation has been carried out correctly, – the dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where it can be seen that this is necessary, – the stopcock has been turned off during longer periods of inactivity (e.g. whilst on holiday). The Waterproof system will work even when the dishwasher is switched off. However, the dishwasher must remain connected to the electricity supply. 12
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
This dishwasher is designed for operation with water and cleaning
agents 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 cleaning agents formulated for use in commercial
dishwashers. Unsuitable cleaning agents could adversely affect
components of the dishwasher or the items being cleaned.
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. Crockery, cutlery, 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 cabinet
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 escapes the programme must be cancelled
immediately and the machine must be disconnected from the mains
electrical supply.
13Warning and Safety instructions When using cleaning agents and specialised products, it is essential that the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Cleaning agents must only be used for the purpose they are designed for and in the situation specified, to avoid such dangers as serious chemical reactions and material damage (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion). Do not inhale or ingest powder cleaning agent. Dishwasher cleaning agents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if cleaning agent has been swallowed or inhaled. Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical cleaning agents may have on the material of the items being cleaned. Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions with regard to storage conditions, use and dosage. To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids or solutions containing chlorides or metals which are not rust-proof to get into the wash cabinet. Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the dishwasher. Do not clean the dishwasher or near vicinity with a hose or a pressure washer. Ensure that the stainless steel outer casing of the appliance does not come into contact with solutions or steam containing acid to avoid any corrosion damage. Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and positioning them in the dishwasher that you do not hurt yourself or create a danger for others. Sharp knives, forks, etc. should be placed in baskets with the pointed ends facing downwards. Remove any coarse food deposits and empty out any containers or utensils before loading them in the dishwasher. 14
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.
Never allow children to play with the machine. There is a danger that
children might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
Children under eight years of age must be kept away from the
dishwasher unless they are constantly supervised.
Children aged eight and older may only use the dishwasher
without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe
manner. Children must be able to recognise and understand the
potential risks of improper use.
Keep children away from chemical agents. These contain irritant
and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth, or
inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the
door is open. There could still be residual chemical agent in the
wash cabinet. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has
swallowed or inhaled chemical agent.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by
Miele. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and product
liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

23Commissioning Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase, and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. Fill the reservoir with rinse aid only. Do not fill it with washing-up liquid or cleaning agent. This would damage the rinse aid reservoir. Suitable products are available from Miele Professional. Alternatively household vinegar with a max. 5 % acid content or liquid citric acid with a max. 10 % acid content can be used. The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used. Do not use vinegar with a higher acid content (e.g. vinegar essence 25 % acid). This would damage the dishwasher. 24
