Warning and Safety instructions
9
The washing machine may only be connected to the water supply
using the set of hoses supplied with the machine. Old sets of hoses
must not be re-used. Check the sets of hoses regularly for signs of
wear. Change the sets of hoses in good time to avoid the risk of leaks
and subsequent water damage.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the appliance
when Miele spare parts are used.
The cause of any leaks must be dealt with before the washing ma-
chine is restarted. Disconnect the washing machine immediately if
any water leaks out.
Steam heating malfunctions can result in high temperatures at the
door, the dispenser and inside the drum (in particular at the edge of
the drum). There is a risk of slight burns.
This only applies to machines with steam heating.
All relevant national provisions and regulations (DGUV in Germany)
relating to accident insurance are applicable to this machine. It is re-
commended to carry out testing in accordance with the regulatory
framework described in DGUV100-500 /Chapter 2.6/ Section 4. The
test book required for the documentation is available from Miele.
Follow the instructions in “Installation”.
If the machine is to be hard-wired, there must be a means of dis-
connecting all poles from the power supply. The mains switch must
be close to the washing machine and be clearly identifiable, un-
hindered and easily accessible at all times.
If the machine’s mains connection cable has been damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified specialist.
The power supply must be disconnected when performing main-
tenance or replacing parts on the machine. If the plug needs to be
disconnected from the socket, the operating personnel must ensure
that the plug remains disconnected at all times.
