safely.

Technical and electrical safety
~
The electrical safety of this machine can only be
guaranteed if connected to a correctly installed
earthing system on site. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is present and tested
regularly, and where there is any doubt, the on-site
electrical wiring 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 damage, remove or bypass the safety
features, fixtures and control elements of this
machine.
~
Do not use a machine with damaged controls or
cables. These must be repaired before it is used
again.
~
Any removable outer panels must be back in
place, and all moving or electrical parts shielded
before the machine is switched on.
~
Connection should be made via a suitable isolator
which complies with local and national safety
regulations and which is easily accessible for
disconnecting the machine from the electricity
supply. Provision must be made on site to switch off
all poles.
~
The machine is only completely isolated from the
electricity supply either when it is switched off at the
isolator switch or the mains fuse has been withdrawn.
~
Repairs to electrical, gas or steam operated
machines may only be carried out by a suitably
qualified person in accordance with national and
local safety regulations, e.g. a Gas Safe registered
service technician in the U.K for gas-heated
machines.
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could
be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
~
Do not force the drum door open. The door handle
is fitted with a safety device to ensure that the door
lock functions correctly.
~
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.
