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.
