Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
Check for any visible exterior damage before installing and operating the washing
machine. Do not install or operate a damaged washing machine.
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 on-site wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele
approved service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the
warranty.
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
The washing machine must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before
any maintenance, cleaning or repair work is carried out. The washing machine is only
isolated from the electricity supply when
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
– the mains fuse is disconnected, or
– the circuit breaker has been tripped and locked out where appropriate.
See "Installation and connection - Electrical connection".
The washing machine may only be connected to the water supply using the new hose
set supplied with the machine. Old hoses must not be re-used. Check the hose regularly
for signs of wear. Change in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and subsequent damage.
If leakages occur, remedy their cause before operating the washing machine again.
Immediately disconnect the washing machine from the electricity supply when leaking
occurs.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only
when these parts are fitted, can Miele guarantee the safety standards of the appliance.
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection" and "Technical data".
The plug of the washing machine (if fitted) must be accessible at all times to ensure that
the washing machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time.
If the machine is hard wired, an all-pole isolator must be installed.
If the washing machine is hard wired, provision must be made on site to switch off all
poles from the electricity supply. The disconnection switch must be located in the
immediate area around the washing machine, and must always be visible, accessible and
easily reachable.
The means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance
with the wiring rules.
