Technical safety
~
Before installing the appliance,
check for externally visible damage.
Do not operate a damaged appliance.
~
Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the
electrical safety of this appliance,
continuity must exist between the
appliance and an effective grounding
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement be met. If there is
any doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified
electrician.
~
Before installation make sure that
the voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond in order to avoid risk
of damage to the appliance. If in doubt,
consult a qualified technician.
~
Do not use the appliance until it has
been properly installed into cabinetry.
~
Never open the outer casing of the
appliance. Tampering with electrical
connections or components and
mechanical parts is dangerous and
could cause machine damage.
~
Installation, repair and maintenance
work should be performed by a Miele
authorized service technician. Work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous and may void the warranty.

Hardwiring the appliance should be
performed by a certified electrician in

manufacturer guarantee the safety of
the appliance.
~
Before installation or service,
disconnect the appliance from the
power supply by either removing the
fuse, "tripping" the circuit breaker or
unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not
the cord.
