Technical safety
Before installation, check the
cooker hood for visible signs of
damage. Under no circumstances
should you use a damaged appliance.
A damaged appliance is dangerous.
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that
the voltage and frequency details given
on the data plate correspond with the
on-site electricity supply, otherwise the
appliance could be damaged. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with current
local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested
regularly, and where there is any doubt,
the household 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).
For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
Warning and Safety instructions
Only open the housing as
described in the instructions given
in the installation sheet and in the
Cleaning and care section of this
booklet. Under no circumstances
should any other parts of the housing
be opened.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by
a Miele authorised person in
accordance with current national and
local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
During installation, maintenance
and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains
electricity supply. It is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the isolator,
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
– the fuse from the fused spur
connection unit is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains fuse
box.
