,WARNING - To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock or injury to

persons while using your appliance

follow basic safety precautions,

including the following:

Read all instructions before using

the appliance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded.

In the event of a malfunction or

breakdown, grounding will reduce the

risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for electric

current. This appliance is equipped

with a cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding

conductor may result in a risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt as to

whether the appliance is properly

grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance - if it will not fit

the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician.

Do not install or use a washer with

visible damage.

Do not install or store this

appliance where it will be exposed

to the weather.

Do not install your washing

machine 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.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (fusing, voltage and

frequency) match the mains electrical

supply. If in doubt contact an

electrician.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect this appliance to the

power supply. Extension cords do not

guarantee the required safety of the

appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

This appliance is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as recreational

vehicles or aircraft. However, under

certain conditions it may be possible for

an installation in these applications.

Please contact the Miele Technical

Service Dept. with specific

requirements.

Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance or attempt any

servicing unless specifically

recommended in these operating

instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If the power cord is damaged it

must only be replaced by a Miele

Service technician with a genuine Miele

power cord.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen

gas may be produced in a hot

water system that has not been used

for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS

IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system

has not been used for such a period,

turn on all hot water faucets and let the

water flow from each for several

minutes before using the washing

machine. This will release any built-up

hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an

open flame during this time, the gas is

flammable.

Before the appliance is removed

for service or discarded, remove

the door.

Use

Do not allow children to play on or

in the appliance. Close supervision

is necessary when the appliance is

used near children.

The drum door glass will be hot

when washing at very high

temperatures.

Do not touch the glass. Danger of

burns! Keep children away from the

washer when in use.

Only use the washing machine to

wash items which are specified by

the manufacturer to be machine

washable on the fabric care label. Any

other applications may be dangerous.

The manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for damage caused by

improper use of the appliance.

Do not wash articles that have

been previously cleaned, washed,

soaked or spotted with gasoline,

dry-cleaning solvents or other

flammable substances. These articles

give off vapors that could ignite or

explode. Do not add these items to the

wash load.

Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, or other flammable or

explosive substances to the wash

water. These substances give off

vapors which could ignite or explode.

Do not use cleaning solvents on or

near the machine or the controls.

Contact with cleaning solvents will

damage the surface.

Do not reach into the appliance if

the drum is moving.

Do not tamper with the controls.

can cause damage to clothes and

the machine.

Pretreat stains

^Tough stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea,

etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars

and cuffs) should be pretreated with

a stain remover or a paste made from

powder detergent and warm water.

Dab stains with a damp light colored

cloth. Do not rub!

Sort the laundry

^Only wash items that are labeled

machine washable by the

manufacturer. Most garments have a

fabric care label in the collar or side

seam.

^Sort the laundry by care label and

color.

General tips

–Dark fabrics often bleed the first few

times they are washed. They should

be washed separately several times

before being included in a mixed

load.

– Curtains: Remove any lead weights

or strips before washing.

– Loose bra underwires should be

removed or sewn in place before

washing.

– Woolens, knitted garments, jeans,

pants and sweat shirts should be

turned inside out.

–Close zippers, hooks and eyelets

before washing.

–Comforter covers and pillowcases

should be fastened to prevent small

items from rolling inside of them.

–Do not wash items with the h

symbol on the fabric care label.

Using the washer

2. Turn on the washer

^Press the I-On / 0-Off button. The

washer is turned on and the program

indicators light.

3. Load the laundry

^Press the "Door" button to open the

drum door.

^Load the laundry loosely into the

drum. For best results, wash mixed

loads of small and large items. This

will improve washing effectiveness

and help distribute the load evenly.

Water consumption and energy usage

are determined by the size of the load.

The washer automatically adjusts the

amount of water to conserve water and

energy when washing smaller loads.

The time remaining will automatically be

adjusted to reflect a shorter wash

program.

To prevent damage to the door seal

and clothing, make sure that there

are no clothes caught between the

drum door and the seal.

^Close the drum door.
