Warning and Safety instructions
8
Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaran‐
teed when correctly earthed.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any
doubt, please have the wiring system of the building tested by a
qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity sup‐
ply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do
not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to
the risk of overheating).
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele origi‐
nal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran‐
tee the safety standards of the machine.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation
so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply
if necessary.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guar‐
antee.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
