Miele KM 405 Operating Instructions Manual page 4

This appliance complies with all rele-
vant legal safety requirements. Im-
proper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per-
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installing and using the appli-
ance for the first time, read the oper-
ating and installation instructions
carefully. They give information on
safety, on the operation and care of
the appliance. This way you will
avoid the risk of accident and dam-
age to the appliance.
Do not let children access the appli-
ance or its controls. Supervise its
use by the elderly or infirm.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place for reference and pass them
on to any future user.
The connection to the gas supply
must be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in ac-
cordance with local and national safety
regulations, e.g. a registered gas fitter.
If the appliance is supplied without a
plug, or if the plug is removed the ap-
pliance must additionally be installed
and connected by a suitably qualified
and competent electrician in strict ac-
cordance with national and local regu-
lations. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damage caused
by incorrect installation or connection.

The electrical safety of this appli-
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap-
pliance and an effective earthing sys-
tem.
It is imperative that this basic safety re-
quirement be tested and where there is
any doubt, the electrical system of the
house should be checked out by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damage
such as electric shock caused by the
lack or inadequacy of an effective
earthing system.
Ensure that the gas pipe and elec-
trical cable are installed in such a
way that they do not touch any parts of
the appliance which become hot. This
could cause damage.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the ap-
pliance.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assess-
ment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
