The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if
correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and tested regularly, and where there is
any 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 to the mains electricity supply,
make sure that the data quoted on the data plate match the
household mains supply, otherwise the appliance could be

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
~
Connection to the gas supply should only be undertaken by an
registered gas installer under the gas safety regulations
(Registration of Gas Installers and Gas Contractors). If the appliance
is supplied without a plug, or if the plug is removed, it must be
connected to the mains electricity supply by a suitably qualified and
competent electrician in strict accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

Never open the outer casing of the appliance. Tampering with
electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
