Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
~
Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
~
Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Under no circumstances should you
use it if it has been damaged. A
damaged appliance is dangerous.
~
The electrical safety of this
appliance 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 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).

~
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the
rating on the data plate corresponds to
the voltage and frequency of the
household supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
~
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~
For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
built in.
~
This appliance may be connected
via a fused plug and switched socket. If
you wish to connect it to an isolator
switch, or if the appliance is supplied
without a plug, it must be installed and
connected by a suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance
with current local and national safety
regulations. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect installation or connection.
~
If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a special
connection cable of type H 05 V V-F
(pvc insulated), available from the Miele
Service Department.
