Technical safety
~
Before setting up the washer-dryer,
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
machine.
~
Before connecting the washer-dryer,
ensure that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this
washer-dryer 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 the
consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~
Do not connect the machine to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the washer-dryer
(e.g. danger of overheating).
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which the Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
Warning and safety instructions
~
In the event of a fault or for cleaning
purposes, the washer-dryer is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is disconnected, or
the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
~
This washer-dryer must only be
connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hoses must
not be re-used.
~
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
~
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
