Warning and safety instructions


If the appliance is hard wired, an on-site all pole circuit breaker
must always be accessible to disconnect the washing machine from
the mains.

Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent
standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
Correct use

The maximum dry laundry weight is 8.0 kg. The maximum recom-
mended loads for individual programmes are given in the Programme
chart.

Do not install your washing machine in a room where temperat-
ures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The
reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperat-
ures below freezing point.

Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit
bars at the rear of the washing machine have been removed (see “In-
stallation – Removing transit bars”). During spinning, transit bars
which are still in place may result in damage to both the machine
and adjacent furniture or appliances.
