IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS



When eating stored food, there is a danger of food poisoning.

Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness
and quality of the food, as well as the temperature at which it is
stored. Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage in-
structions.



Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from

other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.
