Correct application

6

This commercial 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 commercial

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 Miele commercial dishwasher with its short program running

times and powerful cleaning performance is intended for commercial

use in

– Guest houses,

– Club houses

– Schools and Daycare

– Restaurant and Catering

– Nursing homes

– and other similar commercial environments.

 Use this commercial dishwasher only for "Dishwashing" as defined

in the Operating instructions, i.e. for cleaning glassware, dishes and

cutlery. Any other use, conversion or modification is not permissible

and possibly hazardous.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by inappropriate use

or improper operation.

 This commercial dishwasher is intended for stationary, indoor use

only.

 The special inserts are to be used for their specific purpose only.

 This commercial dishwasher is not suitable for the reprocessing of

medical products or devices, e.g. surgical instruments.

 For applications where high temperature sanitizing is required

according to Provincial Food Code, only use a minimum temperature

of 82°C with a holding time of 10 seconds.

 Individuals who are incapable of using the appliance safely

because of limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of

experience or knowledge must not use this appliance without

supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Warning and Safety Instructions

7

Correct installation

 Do not install this commercial dishwasher in an area where there is

a risk of explosion or freezing conditions.

 To ensure the stability of built-under commercial dishwashers, they

must only be installed beneath a continuous countertop that is bolted

to the adjacent cabinetry.

 In order to reduce the risk of damage from condensation, the

furniture in the area around the commercial dishwasher should be

designed for commercial use.

Technical safety

 This commercial dishwasher must only be installed,

commissioned, repaired and then maintained by Miele Service.

Installation, repair and other work by unqualified persons could be

dangerous and Miele will not be held liable.

 This commercial dishwasher must only be operated by

appropriately trained personnel. They must be instructed and trained

regularly.

 Before using the commercial dishwasher, check it for any

externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use it

if it has been damaged. It could be dangerous.

 In the event of a damaged or leaking commercial dishwasher,

switch off at the mains immediately and call the Miele Service

Department.

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted Miele can

guarantee the safety standards of the appliance.

 The electrical safety of this commercial dishwasher can only be

guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard

safety requirement is met. 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).

 Be sure to follow the installation instructions in this manual and in

the 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 commercial

dishwasher since the depth of the installation niche may be too small

and there is a danger of overheating if the dishwasher is pushed up

against a plug (see the "Electrical connection" chapter for more

information).

Warning and Safety Instructions

8

 Do not connect the commercial dishwasher to the mains electricity

supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension cable as they do not

guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of

overheating).

 Do not under any circumstances open the casing of the

commercial dishwasher. Any contact with connections carrying

voltage, or changes in the electrical or mechanical set-up, will

endanger you and may impair the functioning of the appliance.

 The commercial dishwasher must not be used if the electrical

connection cable is damaged. If the cable is damaged it must be

replaced with a special cable available from Miele. For safety reasons

this must only be done by Miele Service.

 The commercial 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 two electrical

valves. The housing must not be immersed in liquids.

 There are electrical wires in the water inlet hose. Do not shorten

the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.

 The integrated Waterproof system offers protection from water

damage, provided the following conditions are met:

– installation has been carried out correctly,

– the commercial dishwasher is properly maintained and parts

replaced where it can be seen that this is necessary,

– the water valve has been closed during longer periods of inactivity

(e.g. whilst on holiday).

The Waterproof system will work even if the commercial dishwasher

is switched off. However, the commercial dishwasher must remain

connected to the electricity supply.

Warning and Safety Instructions

9

Correct use

 This commercial dishwasher is designed for operation with water

and detergents suitable for use in commercial dishwashers only.

Organic solvents or flammable liquid agents must not be used in it.

This could cause an explosion, property damage due to the

destruction of rubber or plastic components, and the resulting

leakage of liquids.

 Only use detergents formulated for use in commercial

dishwashers that are recommended or provided by Miele. Using

unsuitable detergents could adversely affect components in the

commercial dishwasher, as well as items being cleaned.

 Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the

commercial dishwasher to tip or become damaged.

 After any plumbing work the water pipework to the commercial

dishwasher will need to be vented. If this is not done, components

can be damaged.

 Please be aware that the commercial dishwasher may be operating

at high temperatures. If the door is opened there is a danger of

burning or scalding. Dishes, cutlery, baskets and inserts must be

allowed to cool down before they are unloaded. Empty any hot water

remaining in hollow items into the wash cabinet.

 The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water.

 Pre-treating items (for example with dishwashing liquid and other

detergents) as well as some types of soiling and some detergents 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

commercial dishwasher. If foam escapes the program must be

canceled immediately and the machine must be disconnected from

the electrical supply.

 When using detergents and specialized products, it is essential

that the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Detergents 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).

 Avoid inhaling powder detergents! Do not swallow detergents!

Detergents can cause chemical burns to nose, mouth and throat.

Seek medical help immediately if you have inhaled or swallowed any

detergent.

 Miele cannot be held liable for any effect chemical detergents may

have on the material of the items being cleaned. Observe the

detergent manufacturer's instructions with regard to storage

conditions, use and dosage.

Warning and Safety Instructions

10

 To avoid material damage and corrosion, do not allow any acids,

chloride solutions or corrosive iron materials get into the wash

cabinet.

 Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in

the commercial dishwasher. These substances could damage the

commercial dishwasher.

 Do not hose the commercial dishwasher or near vicinity down to

clean it, e.g. with a water 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 commercial dishwasher that you do not hurt

yourself or create a danger for others. Position them so they cannot

cause injury.

 Remove any coarse food deposits and empty out any containers

or utensils before loading them in the commercial dishwasher.

Safety with children

 Always supervise any children in the vicinity of the appliance.

Never allow children to play with the appliance. Among other

hazards, children run the risk of locking themselves in the commercial

dishwasher.

 Do not allow children to operate the commercial dishwasher.

 Keep children away from chemical agents! These contain irritant

and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth,

nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Therefore, keep

children away from the commercial dishwasher when the door is

open. There may still be detergent residues in the appliance. Seek

medical help immediately if a child has ingested any chemical agents.

Accessories

 Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories for

their intended use with this commercial dishwasher. Contact Miele

Service for details on Miele accessories.

 Only use Miele baskets and inserts with this commercial

dishwasher. Using baskets and inserts made by other manufacturers,

or making modifications to Miele accessories can cause

unsatisfactory cleaning results, for which Miele cannot be held liable.

Any resultant damage would not be covered by the warranty.

Caring for the environment

14

Disposal of the packaging material

The cardboard box and packaging materials protect the appliance

during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and

recyclable.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the

manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in

landfill sites. You can return the packaging to your Miele dealer.

Disposing of your old appliance

Old electrical and electronic equipment often still contain valuable

materials. However, they may also include harmful substances that

were essential for proper functioning and safe use. Improperly

disposing of these items in your household waste can be harmful to

your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of

your old appliance in your regular household waste.

Instead, use your local community waste collection and recycling

centre for electric and electronic appliances. Contact your dealer for

more information.

Ensure that your old appliance does not pose a danger to children

while being stored for disposal.
