
The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement
is met. If in any doubt, please have the on-site wiring system tested
by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system
(e.g. electric shock).

A damaged or leaking machine could be dangerous and
compromise your safety. Disconnect the machine from the mains
immediately and call the Miele Service Department.

Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly.
Untrained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or
its controls.

Only use chemical agents which have been approved by their
manufacturer for use in the application you are using. The chemical
agent manufacturer is responsible for any negative influences on the
material the load is made from and for any damage they may cause
to the machine.

Take care when handling chemical agents. These may contain
irritant, corrosive or toxic ingredients.
Please observe the chemical agent manufacturer's safety instructions
and safety data sheets.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.

The machine is designed for operation with water and
recommended additive chemical agents only. Organic solvents and
flammable liquid agents must not be used in it.
This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components
in the machine and cause liquids to leak out of it.

The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water.

Take care not to inhale powder agents. Chemical agents can cause
chemical burns in the mouth and throat or lead to asphyxiation.

Do not lift the machine by protruding parts such as the control
panel or the opened service flap as these could be damaged or torn
off.

Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
machine to tip up and be damaged or cause an injury.

Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and
positioning them in the machine that you do not hurt yourself or
create a danger for others.

Broken glass can result in serious injury when loading or
unloading. Broken glass items must not be processed in the machine.
