  • Page 9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  The dishwasher must not be installed underneath a cooktop. The high temperatures radiated by cooktops could damage the dish- washer below.

  • Page 10 The manufacturer’s warranty may be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired to 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.
  • Page 11 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 12 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 15–20 lb (7–9 kg) depending on model.
  • Page 13 Accessories and parts  Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war- ranty, performance, and, if applicable, product liability claims will be invalidated.
  • Page 14 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a mini- mum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your dishwasher.
