Technical safety
~
Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Under no circumstances should you
use a damaged appliance. It could be
dangerous.
~
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 tested regularly, and
where there is any doubt, the
household 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).

Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the
data quoted on the data plate match
the household mains supply, otherwise
the appliance could be damaged.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any
doubt.

Connection to the gas supply must
be carried out by a suitably qualified
and competent person in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations, e.g. a Gas
Safe registered technician in the U.K.

installation or connection.
