Electrical Safety
Installation, repair and maintenance
work should be by a Miele authorized
service technician. Work by unqualified per-
sons could be dangerous.
Before installation make sure that the
voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the site electrical
supply. This data must correspond to pre-
vent injury and machine damage. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
Be certain your appliance is properly in-
stalled and grounded by a qualified
technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this ap-
pliance, continuity must exist between the
appliance and an effective grounding sys-
tem. It is imperative that this basic safety re-
quirement be met. If there is any doubt, have
the electrical system of the house checked
by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damages
caused by the lack, or inadequacy of, an ef-
fective grounding system.
The appliance is only completely isola-
ted from the electrical supply when the
fuse is withdrawn, the circuit breaker has
been tripped, or the unit has been unplug-
ged.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety features and controls of the ma-
chine.
If there is any damage to the machine
or to the cable insulation, the machine
must not be used until it has been repaired.
Any removable outer panels must be in
place, and all moving or electrical parts
shielded before the machine is operated.
Use
Never use or store gasoline or gasoline
based substances or any easily flam-
mable substances near the machine. Do not
use the machine lid as a storage area.
Danger of fire or explosion.
Only machine wash articles with a care
label stating they are suitable for machi-
ne washing.
Never attempt to force open the door of
the washer extractor. As a safety feature
the door handle has been designed with a
break line.
Never allow children to play in, on or
near the washer extractor, or to operate
it themselves. Please supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm.
The door porthole glass can become
hot during use of the machine. Do not
allow children to touch the glass.
Always make sure the drum is stationa-
ry before reaching in to remove laundry.
Reaching into a moving drum is extremely
dangerous.
Waste water from washing and rinsing
must not be used as drinking water. It
must be discharged into a proper sewage
system.
The machine should only be operated
unsupervised if there is a floor drain
(gully) in the direct vicinity of the machine.
