Warning and Safety instructions
The electrical safety of this appli- ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap- pliance and an effective earthing sys- tem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested and where there is any doubt, the electrical system in the house should be checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the conse- quences of an inadequate earthing sys- tem (e.g. electric shock).
This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assess- ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
A damaged machine is dangerous. Switch off at the mains and call
your Miele supplier or the Miele Service Department.
