Technical and electrical safety
~
Before setting up the ironer, check it
for any externally visible damage.
Under no circumstances should you
use it if it has been damaged. A
damaged appliance may be
dangerous.
~
If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a Miele approved
service technician to avoid a hazard.
~
Before connecting the ironer, ensure
that the connection data on the data
plate (fuse rating, voltage and
connected load) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this
appliance 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 household
wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage or
injury caused by an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~
Do not connect the ironer to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
