Miele dishwashers Operating Instructions Manual page 7

Technical safety
~
Before installation, check the
dishwasher for visible signs of damage.
Under no circumstances should you
use a damaged dishwasher. A
damaged dishwasher could be
dangerous.
~
The dishwasher must only be
plugged into the electricity supply via a
suitable switched socket. The electrical
socket must be easily accessible after
the dishwasher has been installed so
that it can be disconnected from the
electricity supply at any time. (See
"Electrical connection").
~
There must be no electrical sockets
behind the dishwasher. Danger of
overheating and fire risk if the
dishwasher were to be pushed up
against a plug.
~
The dishwasher must not be
installed under a cooktop. The high
radiant temperatures which are
sometimes generated by a cooktop
could damage the dishwasher. For the
same reason, it should not be installed
next to open fires or other appliances
which give off heat, such as heaters
etc.
Warning and safety instructions
~
Do not connect the dishwasher to
the mains supply until it has been fully
installed, including the adjustment of
the door springs.
~
Before connecting the appliance,
check that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and rated load)
match the mains electricity supply. If in
any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system. It is
most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly
tested and where there is any doubt,
the electrical system in the house
should be checked by a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply via a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
