Before setting up the washer-dryer stack, check it for any extern-
ally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged washer-dryer
stack.

The electrical safety of this washer-dryer stack can only be guaran-
teed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested. If in any doubt, please
have the electrical installation inspected by a specialist. Miele cannot
be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing sys-
tem.

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.

thorised to do so by Miele.

event of a fault and for cleaning and maintenance. The washer-dryer
stack is only electrically disconnected from the power supply when:

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 washer-dryer
stack is restarted. Disconnect the washer-dryer stack 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.
