Warning and safety instructions

Read the operating instructions be- fore using this machine for the first time. They contain important infor- mation about the safety, use and maintenance of the machine. This way you will avoid the risk of acci- dents and damage to the machine. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine.

Correct usage

Only use the washing machine to wash items which are specified by

the manufacturer to be machine-wash- able on the wash-care label, and tex- tiles composed of hand-washable wool or wool blend fabrics as well as satin, lace, silk and other hand-washable gar- ments.

Any other applications may be danger- ous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation.

This appliance should not be oper- ated by children. Supervise its use

by the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine, check it for any externally visible

damage. Do not install and use a dam- aged machine.

Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre- quency) match the mains electricity

supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali- fied electrician.

The electrical safety of this appli- ance can only be guaranteed when

continuity is complete between the ma- chine and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is regularly tested by a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held re- sponsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec- tric shock).

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the ap- pliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

The machine is built in accordance with current safety requirements.

Unauthorised repairs could result in un- foreseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept re- sponsibility. Repairs should only be un- dertaken by a Miele approved engi- neer.

Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.

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–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or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 mains, or

–the mains fuse is withdrawn.
