Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and should be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags, etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines

often contain materials which if handled

or disposed of incorrectly, could be

potentially hazardous to human health

and to the environment. They are,

however, essential for the correct

functioning of your machine. Please do

not therefore dispose of it with your

household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre or contact your dealer for

advice. Ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

Energy saving tips

Energy and water consumption

– Water consumption and energy

usage are determined by the size of

the load.

To make the most out of your

machine load the maximum dry load

for the programme you are using.

– If smaller loads are washed using the

Cottons programmes, the automatic

load recognition system will reduce

the amount of water, time and energy

used.

– Use the Quick wash programme for

small loads.

Detergent

– Do not exceed the amounts of

detergent recommended by the

manufacturer on the packaging.

– Reduce the amount of detergent for

smaller loads.

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.

This 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 machine, please

read these instructions carefully

before using it for the first time. They

contain important information on its

safety, use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe

place and ensure that they are

made available to new users. They

must be made aware of these

warning and safety instructions.

Pass them on to any future users/

owners of the machine.

Correct application

~Only use the machine to wash items

which are specified by the

manufacturer to be machine-washable

on the wash-care label, and textiles

composed of hand-washable wool or

wool blend fabrics as well as satin,

lace, silk and other hand-washable

garments. Any other applications may

be dangerous. The manufacturer

cannot be held liable for damage

resulting from incorrect or improper use

of the machine.

~This machine must be used as

described in these operating

instructions and must be checked on a

regular basis to make sure it is

functioning correctly. Maintenance

must be carried out when necessary.

~This machine can only be used by

people with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of

experience or knowledge, if they are

supervised whilst using it or have been

shown how to use it in a safe way and

understand the hazards involved.

~This machine is not intended for

outdoor use.

~Keep children away from the

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 its use by

the elderly or infirm, and supervise

children whilst you are using it.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

~Before setting up the machine,

check it for any externally visible

damage.

Do not install or use a damaged

machine.

~The electrical safety of this machine

can only be guaranteed when correctly

earthed. It is most important that this

basic safety requirement is observed

and regularly tested, and where there is

any doubt the on-site 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).

~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. If

this is not done, any resultant damage

will not be covered by the guarantee.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

machine until after maintenance or

repair work has been carried out.

~Do not make any alterations to the

machine, unless authorised to do so by

Miele.

~The machine must be isolated from

the electricity supply in the event of a

fault and during installation,

maintenance and repair work.

~This machine must only be

connected to the on-site water supply

using a new hose kit. Old hoses must

not be re-used. Check the hose

regularly for signs of wear. Change in

good time to avoid the risk of leaks and

subsequent damage.

~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.

~Do not connect the machine to the

mains electricity supply by an extension

lead or a multi-socket adapter. These

do not guarantee the required safety of

the machine (e.g. danger or

overheating).

Warning and Safety instructions

~If this machine is being used in a

commercial environment please ensure

that all relevant health and safety

regulations are obeyed.

~This machine must not be used in a

non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).

~In 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 guarantee.

Correct use

~Do not install your 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.

~Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the transit bars at

the rear of the machine have been

removed (see section on "Installation

and connection"). During spinning, a

transit bar which is still in place may

result in damage to both the machine

and adjacent furniture or appliances.

~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.

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.

~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.

~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 your Miele Dealer or the

Miele Spare Parts Department.

Warning and Safety instructions

~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, e.g. those containing benzine,

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.

~Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any

easily flammable liquid must not be

stored or used near the machine. Fire

and explosion risk!

~Only use dyes specified by the

manufacturer as being suitable for use

in a 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.

~Avoid contact of stainless steel

surfaces (front, lid, casing) with liquid

cleaning and disinfecting agents which

contain chlorine or sodium

hypochlorite. These agents can have a

corrosive effect on stainless steel.

Aggressive vapours containing chlorine

bleach can also be corrosive. Do not

store open containers of these agents

near the machine.

~Do not use a high pressure cleaner

or hose to clean the machine.

~It is particularly important to observe

the manufacturer's instructions when

using a combination of cleaning agents

and special application products.

Products must only be used for

applications approved by the

manufacturer to avoid any material

damage or the occurrence of strong

chemical reactions

Accessories

~Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele. If

other parts are used, guarantee,

performance and product liability

claims will be invalidated.

Miele cannot be held liable for

damage caused by non-compliance

with these Warning and Safety

instructions.
