Miele PW 6080 VARIO Operating And Installation Instructions page 7

Technical safety
~
Before setting up the washing
machine, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
machine.
~
The electrical safety of this machine
can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and
an effective earthing system which
complies with 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 on-site 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).
~
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. If
this is not done any resultant damage
will not be covered by the guarantee.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
~
Do not make any alterations to the
machine, unless authorised to do so by
Miele.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
In the event of a fault or for cleaning
purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
~
This machine must only be
connected to the on-site water supply
using a hose that is in good condition.
Old hoses must not be re-used. Check
the hose regularly for signs of wear.
Change in good time to avoid the risk of
leaks and subsequent damage.
~
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
~
Do not use force to open the drum
door. The door handle is fitted with a
safety device to ensure that the door
lock functions correctly.
