regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is present and

doubt, the household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified
electrician. Miele cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~
Before connecting the appliance,
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
~
For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used after it has been built
in.

Do not open the casing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
~
Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. Miele
cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work.
~
During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply.
Ensure that power is not supplied to the
