Technical safety
~
Before setting up the washing
machine, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
washing machine.
~
Before connecting the washing
machine, ensure 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 washing
machine can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
observed 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 washing
machine to the mains electricity supply
by an extension lead. Extension leads
do not guarantee the required safety of
the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~
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.
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
~
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
~
The machine must be isolated from
the electricity supply in the event of a
fault and during installation,
maintenance and repair work.
~
This washing machine must only be
connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hoses must
not be re-used.
~
In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the machine and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage which may be
caused by cockroaches or other vermin
will not be covered by the guarantee.
