Technical safety
~
Before setting up the machine, check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged machine.
~
The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with 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. The
manufacturer 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 Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician. If this is not
done, any resultant damage will not be covered by the guarantee.
Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after
maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
~
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
~
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine is
only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the isolator switch, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse has been withdrawn, or the screw-out fuse is
removed (in countries where this is applicable).
