Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply make sure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this appliance 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 household 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).
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Never open the casing of the appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections or components is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
Do not use the appliance if the cable is damaged in any way. If the
connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele approved ser- vice technician to protect the user from danger.
