Technical safety

Installation, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out

~

by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance
with national and local safety regulations. Installation, maintenance
and repairs by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele
cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Before installation,

~

check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use a
damaged appliance.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

~

when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is
any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician.

To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the

~

connection data (frequency and voltage) on the data plate
corresponds to the household supply, before connecting the
appliance to the mains supply.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a

~

multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has

~

This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.

~

~

Tampering with electrical connections or components and

While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be

~

undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise
the guarantee is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

You could burn yourself on the hot drawer or crockery. Protect

~

your hands with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling
hot dishes. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.

Do not store any plastic containers or inflammable objects in the

~

warming drawer. They could melt or catch fire when the appliance is
switched on, causing a fire hazard.

Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the

~

appliance when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the
appliance to heat up the room.

Never replace the anti-slip mat supplied with the appliance with

~

paper kitchen towel or similar.

If you overload the drawer, or sit or lean on it, the telescopic

~

runners will be damaged. The telescopic runners can support a
maximum load of 25 kg.

If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may

~

only be used with the furniture door open.
Only close the door if the appliance is switched off.

Moisture in food or drinks could cause corrosion damage to the

~

drawer. Do not use the warming drawer to re-heat, cook or keep
food or drinks warm.
