~

Before installation, check the

appliance for visible signs of damage.
Do not install and use a damaged
appliance, it could be dangerous.

~

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with 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).

~

Before connecting the appliance,

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 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.

~

Never open the housing 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
Miele authorised person in strict
accordance with current national and
local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.

~

During installation, maintenance and

repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:

– the mains fuse is disconnected, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable), or

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug is withdrawn from the
socket, or it is switched off at the
isolator.

~

If the hob is fitted with a

communication module this must be
disconnected from the electricity
supply during installation and
maintenance work and during any
repair work to the hob.

~

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
