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 rated load) 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 continuity is complete between it and an effective
earthing system which complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present 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.
~
Please refer to the information in "Installation and connection" and
"Technical data".
~
The accesibility of the plug must be always ensured in order to
separate the washing machine from the mains.
