intended for use by persons  
(including children) with reduced  
physical, sensory or mental  
capabilities, or lack of experience and  
knowledge, unless they have been  
given supervision or instruction  
concerning its use by a person  
responsible for their safety.  
This washing machine conforms to  
current safety requirements.  
Inappropriate use can, however,  
lead to personal injury and damage  
to property.  
To avoid the risk of accidents and  
damage to the washing machine,  
please read these instructions  
carefully before using it for the first  
time. They contain important  
information on its installation, safety,  
use and maintenance.  
Keep these instructions in a safe  
place and ensure that new users are  
familiar with the content. Pass them  
on to any future owner.  
Safety with children  
Keep children away from the  
washing machine at all times. It is  
not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do  
not allow children to play on or near it  
or to play with its controls. Supervise  
children whilst you are using it.  
Older children may only use the

Warning and Safety instructions  
Technical safety  
Unauthorised repairs could result  
in unforeseen dangers for the user,  
for which Miele cannot accept liability.  
Repairs should only be undertaken by a  
Miele approved service technician.  
Ensure current is not supplied to the  
machine until after maintenance or  
repair work has been carried out.  
Before setting up the washing  
machine, check it for any externally  
visible damage.  
Do not install or use a damaged  
washing machine.  
Before connecting the washing  
machine, ensure that the  
connection data on the data plate  
(voltage and connected load) match  
the mains electricity supply. If in any  
doubt, consult a qualified electrician.  
If the connection cable is faulty it  
must only be replaced by a Miele  
approved service technician to protect  
the user from danger.  
In the event of a fault or for  
cleaning purposes, the washing  
machine is only completely isolated  
from the electricity supply when:  
The electrical safety of this  
washing machine can only be  
guaranteed when continuity is complete  
between it and an effective earthing  
system which complies with current  
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).  
– it is switched off at the wall socket  
and the plug is withdrawn, or  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the  
screw-out fuse is removed (in  
countries where this is applicable).  
This washing machine must only  
be connected to the on-site water  
supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses  
must not be re-used.  
Do not connect the washing  
machine to the mains electricity  
supply by an extension lead. Extension  
leads do not guarantee the required  
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of  
overheating).  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infestation  
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
particular attention to keeping the  
machine and its surroundings in a  
clean condition at all times. Any  
damage which may be caused by  
cockroaches or other vermin will not be  
covered by the machine guarantee.  
Faulty components must only be  
replaced by genuine Miele original  
spare parts. Only when these parts are  
fitted can the safety standards of the  
machine be guaranteed.

Warning and Safety instructions  
This washing machine may only be  
used in mobile installations such as  
ships if a risk assessment of the  
installation has been carried out by a  
suitably qualified engineer.  
Turn off the stopcock if the  
machine is to be left for any length  
of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there  
is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate  
vicinity.  
Flooding danger.  
Correct use  
If hooking the drain hose into a  
wash basin, check that the water can  
drain off quickly enough to prevent the  
sink from overflowing. Make sure the  
drain hose is secure, so that the force  
of the water flowing out of the hose  
does not dislodge it.  
Do not install your washing  
machine in rooms where  
temperatures below freezing may  
occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split.  
The reliability of the electronic control  
unit may be impaired at temperatures  
below freezing point.  
Take care to ensure that foreign  
objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,  
paper clips) do not find their way into  
the machine with the laundry. These  
may damage components of the  
machine (e.g. suds container, drum),  
which in turn can result in damage to  
the laundry.  
Before using the washing machine  
for the first time, check that the  
transit bars at the rear of the machine  
have been removed (see section on  
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit  
bar which is still in place may result in  
damage to both the machine and  
adjacent furniture or appliances.  
If the correct amount of detergent  
is dispensed, the machine should  
not need to be descaled. If, however,  
you do wish to descale the machine  
only use proprietary non-corrosive  
descaling agents and strictly observe  
the instructions on the packaging. A  
special descaling agent is available to  
order from the Miele Spare Parts  
Department or via the internet on

benzene, in this machine, as this may  
result in damage to component parts  
and create toxic fumes. Such agents  
also pose a fire and explosion hazard.  
Disposal of your old washing  
machine  
Switch it off at the wall socket and  
unplug it. Render the plug useless  
and cut off the cable directly behind the  
machine to prevent misuse. This should  
be done by a competent person.  
Never use solvent based cleaning  
agents, e.g. those containing  
benzene, to clean the outside surfaces  
of this machine. They can cause  
damage to plastic surfaces.  
Miele cannot be held liable for  
damage caused by non-compliance  
with these Warning and Safety  
instructions.  
Only use dyes specified by the  
manufacturer as being suitable for  
use in a domestic washing machine.  
Always observe the manufacturer's  
instructions carefully.  
Colour run and dye removers  
contain sulphur compounds which  
can cause damage such as corrosion.  
Do not use these products in this  
machine.  
If liquid detergent comes into  
contact with the eyes, rinse them  
thoroughly with lukewarm water imme-  
diately. If swallowed, seek medical  
assistance immediately and retain the  
packaging or label for reference. Those

Programme duration  
After the start of a programme, the  
estimated programme duration will

minutes.  
When delay start is being used, the  
programme duration will appear after  
the delay start time has elapsed.  
During the first 8 minutes the washing  
machine measures how much water is  
being absorbed by the laundry and  
uses this to calculate the load. The  
programme duration may be longer or  
shorter depending on this absorbency  
rate.  
The following are selected via the  
display:

Before using the machine for the first  
F
deutsch  
time ensure that it is correctly  
installed and connected. See  
"Installation and connection". Also  
check that the drain filter is securely  
tightened to prevent the risk of water  
leaks during use.  
^ If the language shown is not the one  
you want, select the language you do  
want by turning the programme  
selector. Confirm your selection by  
pressing the Start/Stop button.  
Reminder to remove transit bars  
For safety reasons, spinning is not  
possible until the machine has been  
prepared for using for the first time. To  
activate the spinning function you must  
run a wash programme without laundry  
and without detergent.  
To avoid the risk of damage, the  
transit bars must be removed before  
the machine is used for the first time.  
See "Installation and connection" for  
instructions on how to do this.  
Using detergent could result in an  
excessive build-up of foam.  
^ After removing the transit bars (if this  
has not already been done by your  
fitter), press the Start/Stop button.  
This also activates the ball valve. The  
ball valve prevents detergent escaping  
from the suds container into the sump  
during a wash programme, thus making  
maximum use of the detergent.  
Running your first programme  
Run a Cottons 60°C programme without  
any laundry and without detergent.  
^ Press the I-On/0-Off button in.  
^ Open the stopcock.  
If the washing machine is being  
switched on for the first time, the  
welcome screen will appear.  
^ Press the Start/Stop button.  
^ At the end of the programme switch  
the machine off.  
The welcome screen will appear in  
the display every time the machine is  
switched on until a programme  
lasting longer than 1 hour has been  
completed.  
The machine is now ready for use.  
Setting the language  
You will be asked to select the  
language you require for the display. It  
is possible to change the language at  
any time via the programmable  
functions.

Washing environmentally and economically  
Energy and water consumption  
Detergent  
– Water consumption and energy  
usage are determined by the size of  
the load.  
– Do not exceed the amounts of  
detergent recommended by the  
manufacturer on the packaging.  
To make the most out of your  
machine, load the maximum dry load  
for the programme you are using.  
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of  
soiling of the laundry.  
– Reduce the amount of detergent with  
smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than  
the amount recommended can be  
used when washing a half load).  
– Use the Automatic and Express  
programmes for small loads.  
– When smaller amounts of laundry are  
washed using the Cottons  
programme, the automatic load  
recognition system will reduce the  
amount of water, time and energy  
used. This may mean that the time  
left shown in the display is adjusted  
during the course of the wash  
programme.  
Choosing the correct extra option  
(Short and Pre-wash)  
Select:  
– A wash programme together with the  
Short extra option for light to normal  
soiling where there are no obvious  
marks.  
– Using the Cottons 60°C programme,  
instead of the Cottons 95°C  
– A wash programme without any extra  
options for normal to heavy soiling  
with visible staining.  
programme will give energy savings  
of between 35% and 45%. This is  
sufficient for most levels of soiling.  
– The Pre-wash extra option for laundry  
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,  
sand).  
When drying with a tumble dryer  
– Selecting the highest possible spin  
speed for the wash programme will  
save energy when drying in a tumble  
dryer afterwards.

How to wash correctly  
Brief instructions  
,If you use a solvent-based clean-  
ing agent (e.g. one containing ben-  
zene) to pre-treat a stain, make sure  
that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons)  
are protected, and that the cleaning  
agent is rinsed off before washing the  
garment in the machine.  
The headings numbered A, B, C, . . .  
show the operating sequence and can  
be used as brief instructions.  
ASort the laundry  
,Do not use solvent-based  
cleaning agents in this machine.  
^ Sort the laundry by colour and by  
care label. Most garments have a  
textile care label in the collar or side  
seam.  
Dark textiles often contain excess dye  
and should be washed separately  
several times before being included in  
a mixed load. Always wash whites and  
coloureds separately.  
^ Empty all pockets.  
,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,  
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause  
damage to garments and

or place in a laundry bag.  
components in the machine.  
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:  
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar  
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or  
sewn in.  
^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should  
be cleaned as soon as possible,  
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages  
should be carefully dabbed off using  
a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!  
– Knitted garments, trousers and  
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn  
inside out, if recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated  
with liquid detergent, stain removers  
etc. first, following the manufacturer's  
instructions. With particularly stubborn  
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.  
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and  
eyes etc before washing.  
– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent  
small items from being rolled up  
inside them.  
Do not wash any items in this machine  
which are specified by the  
manufacturer as not washable on the  
care label. (h symbol)

Special features in the programme  
sequences:  
recognition. It takes in the right amount  
of water required for the programme  
depending on the amount of laundry  
and its absorbency rate. This means  
that programme cycles and durations  
can vary.  
Anti-crease:  
At the end of every programme, with  
the exception of the Woollens  
programme, the drum continues to turn  
at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help  
prevent creasing. The door can be  
opened and laundry removed at any  
time during the anti-crease phase.  
The programme sequences outlined in  
the chart are based on the basic  
programme with a full load. Extra  
options which can be selected have not  
been taken into account.  
1)  
A second rinse is carried out when a  
temperature of 60°C to 95°C has  
been selected. A third rinse is  
carried out when a temperature  
below 60°C is selected.  
The display shows the stage the  
programme has reached.  
A third/fourth rinse is carried out if:  
– there is too much foam in the drum  
– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has  
been selected  
– No u has been selected  
2)  
A third rinse takes place  
automatically if:  
No u has been selected

Detergent  
The correct detergent  
All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable.  
Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets  
are suitable for full loads, but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets for  
smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others, and may not be  
suitable for programmes with short durations. Do not use biological detergents on  
silk, as the enzymes may damage the silk. Instructions for use and recommended  
dosage amounts are given on the detergent packaging.  
Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufacturer  
for programmes without a pre-wash.  
For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special container  
from the Miele Spare Parts department which sits in the main wash compartment  
j of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent to this container for  
the main wash and to compartment i for the pre-wash.

Washing with several  
components  
If you wash using several components  
(e.g. special application detergents),  
we recommend always dispensing the  
agents into compartment j in the  
following order:  
1. Detergent  
2. Water softeners  
3. Stain remover  
This way the agents are distributed  
more evenly.  
30  
 
Detergent  
Fabric conditioners and liquid  
starch  
If starching frequently, clean the  
dispenser compartment, especially  
the siphon tube, regularly. See  
"Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
drawer". Do not use powder starch  
formulations or viscous liquid starch  
in the § compartment as it will clog  
up.  
Fabric conditioners  
make garments soft to handle and help  
prevent static cling when tumble  
drying.  
Starch  
stiffens and gives body to items of  
laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed  
linen.  
Colour run and dye removers /  
dyes  
Automatic dispensing of fabric  
conditioner or liquid starch to  
laundry at the end of a programme  
^ Do not use colour run or dye  
removers in this machine.  
^ Dyes suitable for use in domestic  
washing machines can be used.  
However, please note that the salt  
used in the dyeing process can  
cause corrosion to stainless steel  
components in the machine if you  
dye frequently. Always observe the  
manufacturer's instructions carefully.  
^ Add the fabric conditioner or liquid  
starch to compartment §. Do not  
exceed the maximum level mark.  
It will be automatically dispensed in the  
last rinse. At the end of the programme  
a small amount of water remains in the  
fabric conditioner compartment §.  
31  
 
Cleaning and care  
Extra cleaning  
,Disconnect the machine from the  
mains electricity supply and  
withdraw the plug from the socket  
before cleaning the machine.  
Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)  
with powder detergent approx. every 6  
weeks to help prevent deposits building  
up in the machine. These can occur  
when washing is mainly done at low  
temperatures, and also lead to  
unpleasant smells. If you have no  
reason to wash occasionally at this high  
temperature, then run a Cottons 95°C  
programme with detergent but no  
laundry at regular intervals.  
,The washing machine must not  
be hosed down.  
External casing and fascia  
panel  
^ Clean the casing with a mild  
non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap  
and water using a well wrung-out  
cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.  
Cleaning the detergent  
dispenser drawer  
Remove detergent residues regularly.  
^ The drum can be cleaned using a  
suitable proprietary stainless-steel  
cleaning agent following the  
manufacturer's instructions on the  
packaging.  
,Do not use solvents, abrasive  
cleaners, glass cleaners or  
all-purpose cleaning agents.  
These might damage plastic  
surfaces and other components  
because of the chemicals they  
contain.  
^ Pull out the detergent dispenser  
drawer until a resistance is felt. Press  
down the release catch and at the  
same time pull the drawer right out of  
the machine.  
E-Cloth  
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from  
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,  
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces  
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic  
and chrome without the use of

chemicals. It can be washed 300 times.  
32  
 
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
drawer housing  
^ Clean the siphon.  
1. Remove the siphon from  
compartment § and rinse under  
warm running water. Clean the  
siphon tube in the same way.  
^ Use a bottle brush to remove  
detergent residues and limescale  
from the jets inside the detergent  
dispenser drawer housing.  
2. Replace the siphon.  
Descaling the machine  
If starching frequently, thoroughly  
clean the siphon and siphon tube  
regularly. A build-up of starch will  
cause them to get clogged.  
If the correct amount of detergent is  
dispensed, the machine should not  
need to be descaled. If, however, you  
do wish to descale the machine only  
use proprietary non-corrosive descaling  
agents and strictly observe the  
instructions on the packaging. A  
special descaling agent is available to  
order from the Miele Spare Parts  
Department or via the internet on  
33  
 
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the filter in the water  
inlet  
^ First turn off the stopcock.  
^ Unscrew the threaded union  
connecting the free end of the inlet  
hose to the stopcock.  
The washing machine has a filter to  
protect the water inlet valve.  
The accessible filter in the union in the  
open end of the inlet hose should be  
checked every six months, or more  
often if there are frequent interruptions  
to the external water supply.  
^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the  
recess.  
^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the  
plastic filter bar 2 and remove.  
^ Clean the plastic filter.  
^ Put the filter and seal back in the  
reverse order and reconnect the  
hose.  
Turn on the stopcock and check the  
connection is watertight. If water drips  
out, tighten the connection.  
Never forget to put the filter back in  
place after cleaning.

Installation and connection  
Installation surface  
Installing the washing machine  
A concrete floor is the most suitable  
installation surface for a washing  
machine, being far less prone to  
vibration during the spin cycle than  
wooden floorboards or a carpeted  
surface.  
To manoeuvre the machine out of its  
packing case to its installation site, hold  
it by the edge of the lid where it  
protrudes to the rear of the washing  
machine as well as by the handle  
recesses at the front.  
Please note the following points:  
,Ensure that the machine feet and  
the floor area are dry to prevent the  
machine from slipping during the  
spin cycle.  
^ The machine must be level and  
securely positioned.  
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
Removing the transit fittings  
If installing on a wooden joist floor:  
^ We recommend the use of a plywood  
base (at least 59x52x3cm). The base  
should span several joists and be  
bolted to the joists and not only to the  
floorboards. Check for the presence  
of pipes and cables first.  
If possible, install the machine in a  
corner, as this is usually the most stable  
part of the floor.  
,If the machine is installed on a  
raised plinth, it has to be secured  
against slippage during spinning  
using retaining clips (available from  
the Miele Spare Parts Dept).  
^ To remove the left and right covers  
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the  
cover as illustrated.  
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.  
46  
 
Installation and connection  
^ Using the spanner supplied turn the  
left-hand transit bar 90°, then  
^ Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,  
then  
^ withdraw the transit bar.  
^ withdraw the transit bar.  
47  
 
Installation and connection  
,The washing machine must not  
be moved without the transit bars in  
place.  
Store them in a safe place for future  
use. They must be re-fitted if the  
machine is to be moved again (e.g.  
when moving house).  
Re-fitting the transit bars  
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the  
procedure.  
^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.  
Then plug the holes as shown with  
the caps.  
48  
 
Installation and connection  
Levelling the machine  
The machine must stand perfectly level  
on all four feet to ensure safe and  
proper operation.  
Screwing out and adjusting the feet  
The four adjustable screw feet are used  
to level the machine. All four feet are  
screwed in when the machine is  
delivered.  
^ Use a spirit level to check the  
machine is standing level.  
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe  
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again  
using the spanner supplied until it  
sits firmly up against the housing.  
,All four counternuts must sit  
firmly up against the housing. Please  
also check this for the feet which did  
not need adjustment. Otherwise  
there is the danger of the machine  
moving about.  
^ Using the spanner supplied turn  
counter nut 2 in a clockwise  
direction. Then turn counter nut 2  
together with foot 1 to unscrew.  
Washer-dryer stack  
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked  
on top of this washing machine. To do  
this the appropriate "WTV" stacking kit  
(available to order) to match your  
washing machine is required.  
,The stacking kit must be fitted by  
suitably qualified fitter.

required height is reached.  
^ Unscrew and remove the 3 screws  
(see arrows).  
^ Remove all the spacer bars.  
If necessary individual bars can be  
removed or more added.  
The 3 holes which are now free should  
be used to screw the front panel to the  
machine front later on.  
^ To do this, use the socket spanner to  
loosen the nuts.  
An adapter kit with spacer bars and  
longer screws can be ordered as an  
optional accessory. This can be used to  
add spacer bars from below up to a  
maximum of 25 mm.  
After fitting the bars, cut or pinch off  
any excess length from the screws.

Fitting a plinth facing  
Installation  
The gap between the lower edge of the  
washing machine plinth and the floor  
can be closed up using a suitable  
kitchen furniture plinth facing.  
The washing machine plinth has a  
special groove in which a plinth facing  
can be fitted.  
Plinth facing dimensions  
Length: 592 - 596 mm  
Thickness: 8 mm  
^ Calculate height (H) from the floor up  
into the groove (on the underside of  
the washing machine).  
Height (H): The plinth facing height  
must be calculated after aligning the  
height of the machine with the screw  
feet or after fitting the raising kit(s).  
^ Cut the plinth facing to size.  
^ Slide it into the groove.  
Useful tip:  
If the machine is fitted on a raising kit,  
you can use double-sided adhesive  
tape on the back of the plinth facing to  
secure it to the raising kit.  
55  
 
Installation and connection  
The Miele water protection  
system  
– Overflow protection  
This prevents the washing machine  
taking in too much water. If the water  
level exceeds a certain level, the  
drain pump switches in and pumps  
the excess water away.  
The Miele water protection system  
protects the washing machine from  
water damage.  
The system consists of three main  
components:  
3) Drain hose  
1) the inlet hose  
The drain hose is protected by a  
ventilation system which prevents the  
washing machine from being  
emptied completely.  
2) the electronic unit and the washing  
machine housing  
3) the drain hose  
1) Inlet hose  
The inlet hose can withstand  
pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.  
2) Electronic unit and washing  
machine housing  
– Sump  
Any leaking water is collected in a  
sump in the base of the machine. A  
float switches off the safety valves,  
preventing any more water flowing  
into the machine and water in the  
suds container is pumped away.  
56  
 
Installation and connection  
Connection to the water supply  
In order to protect the water inlet  
valve, the two dirt filters - one in the  
open end of the inlet hose, one at  
the inlet point in the machine must  
not be removed.  
The machine should be connected to a  
mains water supply in accordance with  
local and national safety regulations.  
The German authorities do not require it  
to have a non-return valve as the  
washing machine has been designed  
to comply with DIN regulations.  
Extension hose  
– Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length  
are available from your Miele dealer  
or the Miele Spare Parts Department  
as optional extras.  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a flow pressure of between  
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher  
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a  
pressure reducing valve.  
Connection to the mains water supply  
should incorporate a mains stopcock  
with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should  
be fitted by a qualified plumber.  
,The connection point is subject  
to mains water pressure. Turn on the  
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.  
Correct the position of the washer  
and union if appropriate.  
The washing machine is not suitable  
for connection to a hot water supply  
and connection to a household  
water softener is not recommended.  
Maintenance and care  
Only use a genuine Miele hose should  
you ever need a replacement or  
extension. These are tested to  
withstand pressure of at least  
7,000 kPa.

Installation and connection  
Connection to the drainage  
system  
Drain hose connection:  
1. Direct into a sink or basin:  
Please note the following  
The machine drains via a drain pump  
with a delivery head of 1 metre*.  
– Hook the hose over the edge and  
secure.  
The drain hose must not be kinked as  
this restricts drainage. The swivel elbow  
at the end of the hose can be turned in  
either direction, or can be detached if  
required, with a sharp twist and pull.  
– Make sure that the water can drain  
away freely without hindrance.  
Otherwise there is a risk of water  
overflowing or of some of the drained  
water being sucked back into the  
machine.  
If required, the drain hose can be  
extended to a length of 5 m. The  
necessary parts can be purchased  
from the Miele Spare Parts Department  
or your Miele dealer.  
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain  
pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no  
need to use a non-return valve.  
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m  
(up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a second  
duo-drain pump is available with the  
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare  
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.  
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.  
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.

approved to BS 1362 and have the  
correct rating. Replacement fuses and  
fuse covers may be purchased from  
your local electrical supplier.  
Please ensure the connection data  
quoted on the data plate match the  
household mains supply.  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE  
MUST BE EARTHED  
Connection should be made via a  
suitable switched socket which is easily  
accessible after installation.  
For extra safety it is advisable to install  
a residual current device (RCD), with a  
trip current of 30 mA (in accordance  
with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section  
739).
