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 guaran-
teed when correctly grounded. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested. If in any doubt, please
have the electrical installation inspected by a specialist. Miele cannot
be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate grounding sys-
tem.

Unauthorized repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs must
only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorized to
do so by Miele.

Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply in the
event of a fault and for cleaning and maintenance. The washing ma-
chine is only electrically disconnected from the power supply when
- the electrical plug of the washing machine is unplugged, or
- the fuse is disconnected, or
- the screw-in fuse has been completely removed.
For more information, see "Installation – 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.

The cause of any leaks must be dealt with before the washing ma-
chine is restarted. Disconnect the washing machine immediately if
any water leaks out.

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 must only be replaced by genuine Miele re-
placement parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the
machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
