
The plug of the washing machine (if fitted) must be accessible at all
times to ensure that the washing machine can be disconnected from
the electricity supply at any time.

The means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed
wiring in accordance with the wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000).

The washing machine may only be connected to the water supply
using the new hose set supplied with the machine. Old hoses must
not be re-used. Check the hoses regularly for signs of wear. Change
the hoses in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and water damage.
The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and must not
exceed 1000 kPa.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.

If leakages occur, remedy their cause before operating the washing
machine again. Immediately disconnect the washing machine from
the electricity supply when leaking occurs.

In case of malfunctions of the steam heater, temperatures in the
area of the drum door, the front of the detergent dispensing drawer
and the inside of the drum (especially the drum edge) may be
elevated. There is a risk of minor burns.
This only applies to appliances with steam heating.

Please observe the instructions in "Installation".

If the washing machine is hard wired, provision must be made on
site to switch off all poles from the electricity supply. The
disconnection switch must be located in the immediate area around
the washing machine, and must always be visible, accessible and
easily reachable.

If the machine's mains connection cable has been damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified specialist.

If maintenance or replacement of parts is carried out on the
machine, the power supply must be disconnected. If it is intended
that the mains plug be removed from the socket, the operator must
be able to clearly monitor from any access point that the mains plug
is still removed.
