Miele WWB 020 Operating Instructions Manual page 7


Before connecting the washing machine, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load)
match the domestic electricity supply. If in doubt, request the
connection data from a qualified electrician.

Do not connect the washing machine to the domestic electricity
supply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do
not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to
the risk of overheating).

The washing machine is not intended for maritime applications or
for use in mobile units such as motor homes or aircraft. However,
installation in such scenarios may be possible under certain
conditions. Get in touch with Miele's Technical Service department
regarding these specific requirements.

Do not make any changes or repairs on the washing machine if
this is not expressly permitted in these operating instructions.

Only Miele is permitted to replace a damaged power cord. Miele
service technicians use original power cords from Miele.

If hot-water systems are not used for longer than two weeks, there
may be a buildup of hydrogen under certain conditions. HYDROGEN
IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water systems have not been in use for
longer than two weeks, allow hot water to run from all valves for
several minutes before operating the washing machine. This reduces
the formation of hydrogen. Refrain from smoking and keep away
from naked flames while the water valves are open. The gas will be
flammable during this time.

Remove the door or destroy the door lock before disposing of the
washing machine.
