Miele G 1XXX manual Warning and Safety instructions

Warning and Safety instructions

The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high

radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as heaters etc.

If you want to convert your freestanding dishwasher to a

built-under ("U") model, you will need to order the appropriate conversion kit. If you remove the existing plinth, you must replace it with a U-model plinth. This is necessary to avoid the risk of injury caused by protruding metal parts.

Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has been

fully installed.

Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected

load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is regularly 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 consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as

ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

A damaged appliance could be dangerous. Switch off at the mains

and call your Miele supplier or the Miele Service Department.

The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing must therefore

not be dipped in water.

There are live wires in the water inlet hose. Never cut the water inlet

hose, even if it is too long.

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).

Use

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent! Dishwasher detergents

can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediate- ly if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
