Technical Safety - Miele PW 6163 Operating And Installation Instructions

Technical safety


The washing machine must be installed by a Miele authorised
installer.

Before installing and operating the washing machine, check it for
any visible exterior damage. Do not install or operate a damaged
washing machine.

The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be
guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective
earthing system which complies with current 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 on-
site wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
should only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the
warranty.

Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.

The washing machine must be disconnected from the mains
electricity supply before any maintenance, cleaning or repair work is
carried out. The washing machine is only isolated from the electricity
supply when
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
- the mains fuse is disconnected, or
- it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.
For further information see "Installation – Electrical connection".

If the control element or the insulation of cables in the washing
machine is damaged, the washing machine must not be operated
before it is repaired.

Only operate the washing machine when all removable outer
panels are in place so that it is impossible to touch an electrical
component or moving part.

In the event of a fault or for cleaning and maintenance purposes,
the washing machine must be isolated from the electricity supply. It is
only completely isolated if:
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
- the mains fuse is disconnected, or
- it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.
