IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety
Before setting up the washer-dryer stack, check it for any externally
visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged washer-dryer stack.
The electrical safety of this washer-dryer stack can only be guaran-
teed when correctly grounded. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested. If in any doubt, please
have the electrical installation inspected by a specialist. Miele cannot
be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate grounding sys-
tem.
Unauthorized repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs must
only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Do not make any alterations to the washer-dryer stack, unless au-
thorized to do so by Miele.
Disconnect the washer-dryer stack from the power supply in the
event of a fault and for cleaning and maintenance. The washer-dryer
stack is only electrically disconnected from the power supply when:
- Both washer-dryer stack electrical plugs have been disconnected
from the socket or
- The circuit breakers for both machine parts are disconnected or
- The circuit breakers for both machine parts have been completely
removed.
See "Installation and connection – Electrical connection".
The washing machine may only be connected to the water supply
using the set of hoses supplied with the machine. Old sets of hoses
must not be re-used. Check the sets of hoses regularly for signs of
wear. Change the sets of hoses ahead of time to avoid the risk of leaks
and subsequent water damage.
The cause of any leaks must be dealt with before the washer-dryer
stack is restarted. Disconnect the washer-dryer stack immediately if
any water leaks out.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele re-
placement parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the
machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
All relevant national provisions and regulations relating to accident
insurance are applicable to this washer-dryer stack.
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and "Technical data".
The electrical plugs for the washer-dryer stack must always be kept
accessible so that the washer-dryer stack can be easily disconnected
from the power supply.
For hard-wired machines, an all-pole means of deactivation must
be provided on site.
If the washer-dryer stack is to be hard-wired, there must be a
means of disconnecting all poles from the power supply. The discon-
nection switches must be close to the washer-dryer stack and be
clearly identifiable, unhindered, and easily accessible at all times.
The tumble dryer may only be operated when the ducting has been
installed and the room is sufficiently ventilated in accordance with all
local codes.
