Miele Dishwashers Operating Instructions Manual page 8

Warning and Safety instructions
~
Keep children away from
detergents. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant and corrosive
ingredients which can cause burning in
the mouth, nose and throat if
swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep
children away from the dishwasher
when the door is open. There could still
be detergent residues in the cabinet.
Consult a doctor immediately if your
child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
Technical safety
~
Before setting up the appliance,
check it for any externally visible
damage. Under no circumstances
should you use a damaged appliance.
It could be dangerous.
~
The dishwasher must only be
plugged into the electricity supply via a
suitable switched socket. The electrical
socket must be easily accessible after
the dishwasher is installed so that it can
be disconnected from the electricity
supply at any time. (See "Electrical
connection").
~
There must be no electrical sockets
behind the dishwasher. Danger of
overheating and fire risk if the
dishwasher were to be pushed up
against a plug.
8
~
The dishwasher must not be
installed under a hob. The high radiant
temperatures which are sometimes
generated by a hob could damage the
dishwasher. For the same reason it
should not be installed next to open
fires or other appliances which give off
heat, such as heaters etc.
~
Do not connect the dishwasher to
the mains supply until it has been fully
installed and any adjustment has been
made to the door springs.
~
Before connecting the appliance,
check that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply. If in
any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed if
correctly earthed. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
observed and regularly tested and
where there is any doubt the electrical
system in the house should be checked
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 appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension
lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
