Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
~
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged machine.
~
Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data
on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard
safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested 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 washing machine to the mains electricity
supply by an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the machine.
~
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele
guarantee the safety standards of the machine.
~
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and "Technical data".
~
The electrical socket should be easily accessible after installation
so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply
when necessary.
