IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety


Before installing the washing machine, check it for visible signs of
damage. Do not install or use a damaged washing machine.

The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be achieved
if it is grounded properly. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have building's wiring sys-
tem inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held respon-
sible for the consequences of an inadequate grounding system (e.g.
electric shock).

Unauthorized repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Re-
pairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorized service techni-
cian, otherwise any subsequent damage may not be covered by the
warranty.

Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorized to
do so by Miele.

The machine must be isolated from the power supply when clean-
ing and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault. The ma-
chine is only completely isolated from the power supply when:
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
- the fuse is removed from the building wiring or
- the circuit breaker has been tripped.
See "Installation and connection - Electrical connection".

The washing machine may only be connected to the water supply
using the set of hoses supplied with the machine. Old sets of hoses
must not be re-used. Check the sets of hoses regularly for signs of
wear. Change the sets of hoses ahead of time to avoid the risk of
leaks and subsequent water damage.

In the event of a leak, disconnect the washing machine from the
power supply immediately and rectify the cause of the leak before us-
ing the washing machine again.

In the case of a fault with the steam heating there can be increased
temperatures in the vicinity of the door, the detergent compartment
panel and in the drum interior (especially at the edges). Danger of
burning.
This only applies for machines with steam heating.

Faulty components should only be replaced by genuine Miele re-
placement parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards-com-
pliant of the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
