Warning and safety instructions

Technical safety
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
visible damage. Do not set up or use a damaged washing machine.
The electrical safety of the washing machine can only be guaran-
teed when correctly earthed.
It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested and
in case of any doubt the on-site wiring system should be inspected
by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the war-
ranty.
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when
cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault:
– switch off at the wall and disconnect the plug from the socket, or
– disconnect the fuse at the mains circuit board, or
– unscrew the on-site screw-in fuse.
See “Installation – Electrical connection”.
