Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
~
Before setting up the machine, check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged machine.
~
The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed
when it is correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is
any doubt the on-site wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele service technician. If this is not done any
resultant damage will not be covered by the guarantee. Ensure
current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
~
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
~
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine must
be disconnected from the electricity supply.
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable).
