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 de-
scaling agents and strictly observe the
instructions on the packaging. If in
doubt contact the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.
Textiles which have been pre-
treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in
clean water before being washed in the
machine.
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such deter-
gents also pose a fire and explosion ha-
zard.
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a washing machine. Always ob-
serve the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
Dye removers may contain sulphur
compounds which cause damage
such as corrosion. Do not use dye
removers in this machine.
If washing at very high tempera-
tures remember that the porthole
glass will be hot . Do not let children
touch it during a hot wash programme.
Always make sure the drum is sta-
tionary before reaching in to
remove washing. Reaching into a mov-
ing drum is extremely dangerous.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by
Miele. If other parts are used, guaran-
tee, performance and product liability
claims may be invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
unplug it. Render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap-
pliance to prevent misuse. This should
be done by a competent person.
