Warning and Safety instructions
Use of the machine
Never allow children to play in, on or near
the washer extractor, or to operate it them-
selves. Please supervise its use by the el-
derly or infirm.
Remember that the door porthole glass
can become hot during the operation of
the machine. Do not let children touch it.
When washing with high temperatures
steam can be emitted from the venting
slot behind the machine.
Do not grip between the suspended drum
unit and the seal of the front panel cut-out
during spin.
Always make sure the drum is stationary
before reaching in to remove washing.
Reaching into a moving drum is extremely
dangerous.
Water used for washing and rinsing must
not be used as drinking water. It must be
discharged into a proper sewerage system.
The machine should only be operated un-
supervised when there is a floor drain
(gully) in the direct vicinity of the machine.
Chlorine or agents containing chlorine are
corrosive, and can under certain condition-
s lead to irreperable damage to components.
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often
have compounds containing chlorides in
them. If these agents dry on to stainless steel
surfaces, the residual chlorides will attack the
steel and can cause rusting.
To protect your machine from rust damage,
we recommend only using chloride free disin-
fecting and cleaning agents for washing and
disinfecting programmes and for cleaning
stainless steel surfaces of the machine itself.
If you are not sure about a particular agent,
contact the manufacturer of that agent for ad-
vice.
If you accidentally spill an agent containing
chlorides on the machine it should be rinsed
off with water and dried using a soft cloth.
Proprietary dyes, dye removers and de-
scaling agents may only be used in this
machine if the manufacturer expressly states
that they are suitable for use in a washing ma-
chine. There may be the danger of fire or ex-
plosion.
Always follow the instructions of the
chemical manufacturer when using clean-
ing agents and special application chemicals.
Only use such chemicals for the purpose and
in the situation specified by the manufacturer
in order to avoid the danger of adverse
chemical reactions and material damage.
If in doubt check the suitability of the product
for use in this machine with the manufacturer
before using it.
Where a chemical cleaning agent is rec-
ommended on technical application
grounds, this does not imply that the manufac-
turer of the machine takes responsibility for
the effect of the chemical on the material of
the items being cleaned or on the machine.
Please be aware that changes in formulation,
storage conditions etc., which may not be pub-
licised by the chemical producer, can have a
negative effect on the cleaning result.
On no account use high pressure
cleaners or hose down the machine.
Use of accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when
expressly approved by Miele. If other
parts are used, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may be invalidated.
Disposal of old machines or appliances
When disposing of an old washer extrac-
tor first make it unusable. Disconnect
from all services, cut off the cable and the
plug from the cable.
Make the door lock inoperative, so that child-
ren cannot accidentally shut themselves in.
Make appropriate arrangements for the safe
disposal of the appliance.
All personnel working with this machine must
be fully trained in all aspects of its use and
safety.
Keep these instructions in a safe place
