Miele W 1612 Washer User Manual


 
Technical safety
~
Check the washer for externally
visible damage before installation.
Do not install or operate a damaged
washer.
~
Before plugging in the appliance,
you must make sure that the electrical
rating (fuse amperage, voltage and
connected load in watts, indicated on
the data plate) matches the household
electrical supply. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
~
The washer can only be considered
safe if it has been connected to a
properly installed grounding system, as
per code.
It is crucial to have this essential safety
requirement tested, and to have the
household wiring checked by a
professional if there is any doubt.
Miele will not be held liable for any
damage or harm caused by a missing
or incomplete grounding system.
~
For safety reasons, do not use
extension cords (danger of fire from
overheating).
~
Use only genuine Miele replacement
parts to replace defective components.
Only these parts are guaranteed to
meet applicable safety requirements.
~
Unauthorized repairs may create
unforeseeable risks for the user, for
which Miele assumes no liability.
Repairs should be carried out only by
authorized Miele technicians -
otherwise, associated damage will not
be covered by the warranty.
~
If the power cord is damaged it
must be replaced by an authorized
Miele technician to prevent danger to
the user.
~
In the event of a fault, or for care
and cleaning, the washer is only
considered disconnected from the
power supply, when
the plug is completed removed from
the socket, or
the circuit breaker for the house
wiring system is completely shut off,
or
the screw-out fuse in the house
wiring system is unscrewed and
removed.
~
Use only a new hose kit to attach the
washer to the household water supply.
Old hosing should not be re-used.
