Warning and safety instructions
Technical safety
~
Before setting up the washer-dryer, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged machine.
~
Before connecting the washer-dryer, ensure 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 washer-dryer can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it 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 regularly tested, 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).
~
Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required
safety of the washer-dryer (e.g. danger of overheating).
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician. Ensure current
is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or repair work
has been carried out.
