M.-Nr. 06 872 250

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and can normally 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!

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please ensure that they

are offered for recycling.

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 or it with your

household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre and ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

It should be disconnected from the

mains electricity supply by a competent

person. The cable should be cut off

directly behind it to prevent misuse.

See the "Warning and Safety" section of

this booklet for further details.

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.

Contents

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the machine please read

these operating 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 new users are

familiar with the content. Pass them

on to any future owner of the

machine.

Correct use

Only use this washer-extractor 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 is not liable for

damage resulting from improper use or

operation.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine,

check it for any externally visible

damage.

Do not install or use a damaged

machine.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (voltage and connected

load) match the mains electricity

supply. If in any doubt, consult a

qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this

machine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between

the machine and an effective earthing

system which complies with local and

national safety regulations. It is most

important that this basic safety

requirement is present 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).

Do not connect the machine to the

mains electricity supply by an

extension lead. Extension leads do not

guarantee the required safety of the

machine (e.g. danger of overheating).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements.

Unauthorised repairs could result in

unforeseen dangers for the user, for

which the manufacturer cannot accept

liability. Repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele approved

technician.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

machine until after maintenance or

repair work has been carried out.

In the event of a fault or for

cleaning purposes, the machine is

only completely isolated from the

electricity supply when:

–it is switched off at the mains, or

–the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protect

the user from danger.

In countries where there are 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 machine guarantee.

Use

This equipment may only be used

in mobile installations such as

ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk

assessment of the installation has been

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

Do not install this machine in rooms

where temperatures below freezing

may occur. Frozen hoses may burst

under pressure. 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

struts at the rear of the machine have

been removed (see section on

"Installation"). During spinning, a transit

strut 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.

If hooking the drain hose of a drain

pump machine 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. Otherwise this will result in

flooding.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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. If in

doubt contact the Miele Professional

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

detergents also pose a fire and

explosion hazard.

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.

Safety with children

This machine is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury do not allow

children to play on or near it or to play

with the controls. Supervise its use by

the elderly or infirm, and supervise

children whilst you are operating the

machine.

For machines with a 'porthole'

door, remember that the porthole

glass will be hot when washing at very

high temperatures.

Do not let children touch it.

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.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine

disconnect it from the electricity

supply. Cut off the cable directly behind

the machine to prevent misuse. This

should be done by a competent

person.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.
