Miele PW 6241 Operating And Installation Instructions page 9


The washing machine may only be connected to the water supply
using the set of hoses supplied with the machine. Old sets of hoses
must not be re-used. Check the sets of hoses regularly for signs of
wear. Change the sets of hoses in good time to avoid the risk of leaks
and subsequent water damage.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the appliance
when Miele spare parts are used.

The cause of any leaks must be dealt with before the washing ma-
chine is restarted. Disconnect the washing machine immediately if
any water leaks out.

Steam heating malfunctions can result in high temperatures at the
door, the dispenser and inside the drum (in particular at the edge of
the drum). There is a risk of slight burns.
This only applies to machines with steam heating.

All relevant national provisions and regulations (DGUV in Germany)
relating to accident insurance are applicable to this machine. It is re-
commended to carry out testing in accordance with the regulatory
framework described in DGUV100-500 /Chapter 2.6/ Section 4. The
test book required for the documentation is available from Miele.

Follow the instructions in "Installation".

If the machine is to be hard-wired, there must be a means of dis-
connecting all poles from the power supply. The mains switch must
be close to the washing machine and be clearly identifiable, un-
hindered and easily accessible at all times.

If the machine's mains connection cable has been damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified specialist.

The power supply must be disconnected when performing main-
tenance or replacing parts on the machine. If the plug needs to be
disconnected from the socket, the operating personnel must ensure
that the plug remains disconnected at all times.
