Miele KF 7544 - Manual (Page 8)

Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply make sure that
the rating on the data plate corre-
sponds to the voltage and frequency of
the household supply. This data must
correspond in order to avoid risk of
damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this appli-
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap-
pliance and an effective earthing sys-
tem, which complies with local and na-
tional safety regulations. It is most im-
portant that this basic safety require-
ment is tested regularly and where
there is any doubt the household wiring
system should be inspected by a quali-
fied electrician. The manufacturer can-
not be held liable for the consequences
of an inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
Safe operation of the appliance is
only assured if it has been installed
and connected in accordance with
these operating and installation instruc-
tions.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assess-
ment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Installation work, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent per-
sons to ensure safety.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held liable.
Ensure that current is not supplied
to the appliance while maintenance
or repair work is being carried out.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– the plug has been withdrawn. Do not
pull on the cable, only on the plug.
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed in
countries where this is applicable.
Do not connect the appliance 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).
Operation
Never handle frozen food with wet
hands. Your hands may freeze to
the frozen food. Danger of frost burn.
Do not take ice cubes out with your
bare hands and never place ice
cubes or ice lollies in your mouth
straight from the freezer.
The very low temperature of the frozen
ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the
lips and tongue.
