IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety with children Children must be kept away from the dishwasher unless they are constantly supervised. Children 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 understand and recognize the possible dangers caused by in- correct operation.
Page 9
It is most important that this basic safety requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a qualified service technician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate or lack of grounding system (e.g., electric shock). ...

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the dish- washer below. For the same reason, the dishwasher must not be in- stalled next to open fires or other appliances that give off heat, such as heaters etc., not normally found in a kitchen.

Miele authorized service standards. We recommend replacing defective components with original parts. If original Miele parts are installed correctly, Miele ensures full compliance with safety requirements and the warranty remains valid. During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the dishwasher must be disconnected from the electricity supply (turn it off and withdraw the plug from the socket).
Page 12
If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced with a spe- cific cord of the same type (available from Miele Customer Service). For safety reasons, this must only be done by Miele Customer Ser- vice or a service technician authorized by Miele.
Page 13
The appliance must only be operated with properly adjusted door springs. If the door cannot be adjusted properly, contact the Miele Customer Service. The maximum weight of the front panel that can be aligned with the factory-installed door springs is 22-26.5 lb (10–12 kg) depending on model.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Transport Damage to the dishwasher can compromise your safety. Before using the dishwasher, check it for any visible transport damage. Never use a damaged dishwasher. Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position so that no water flows into the electrical controls, as this would cause faults.
