Technical safety


Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged washing machine.

The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaran-
teed when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic
safety requirement is tested and in case of any doubt the on-site wir-
ing system should be inspected by a specialist. Miele cannot be held
liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised technician, other-
wise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

Do not make any alterations to the washing machine, unless au-
thorised to do so by Miele.

Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply in the
event of a fault and for cleaning and maintenance. The washing ma-
chine is only electrically disconnected from the power supply when:
- the plug of the washing machine is unplugged, or
- the mains fuse is disconnected, or
- the screw-in fuse has been completely removed
For more information, see "Installation – Electrical connection".

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.

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.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the machine
when Miele spare parts are used.

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 DGUV 100-500/Chapter 2.6/Section 4. The
test book required for the documentation is available from the Miele
Customer Service Department.

Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and "Technical data".

The plug for the washing machine must always be kept accessible
so that the machine can be easily disconnected from the power sup-
ply.
