IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes before using the dishwasher. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

~Avoid inhaling detergent. If swallowed, it can cause burning in the mouth and throat or inhibit breathing.

~Be careful when sorting and loading items to be washed: locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of injuries.

~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 machine to tip or be damaged.

~Never clean the machine or near its vicinity with a water or high pressure hose.

~Only use cleaning agents formulated for special processes and approved by Miele for use with this machine. Keep all cleaning agents out of the reach of children. Use of unsuitable cleaning agents could adversely affect the

components of the machine.

~Use only rinse agents for commercial dishwashers. When other rinse agents are used, there is the danger that the rinse load and the dishwasher might be damaged.

~Pre-treatments with detergents can create suds, as can certain rinsing agents. For pre-treatment and / or cleaning only, use low-sudsing detergents which have been approved by Miele. Suds can have an adverse effect on the cleaning process.

~When a chemical additive is recommended on technical application grounds (e.g. with a detergent), this does not imply that the manufacturer of the dishwasher takes responsibility for the affect of the chemical on the material of the items being cleaned. Please be aware that changes in formulation, storage conditions, etc., which may not be publicized by the chemical producer, can have a negative effect on the cleaning result.

~Always follow the instructions of the chemical manufacturer when using detergents and special application chemicals. Only use such chemicals for the purpose and in the situation specified to avoid such dangers as chemical reactions and material damage.

~The dishwasher is designed only for operation with water and additive cleaning agents. Organic solvents must not be used in the machine. An explosion or machine corrosion could occur with the use of organic solvents.
