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 they are

offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances /

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 appliance or machine. Therefore,

please do not dispose of your old

machine or appliance 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 unplugged or disconnected

from the mains electricity supply by a

competent person.

The plug must be rendered useless

and the cable cut off directly behind the

appliance to prevent misuse.

This washing 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 washing

machine, please read these instructions carefully before using it

for the first time. They contain important information on its

installation, 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.

Correct application

~This washing machine is designed for domestic use and for use

in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &

breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include

common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,

motels or bed & breakfasts. It must only be used to wash garments

which have been declared suitable for washing by the manufacturer

indicated on the garment care label.

Any other use may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or

operation.

~The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.

~This washing machine is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have

been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person

responsible for their safety.

~This washing machine must not be installed and operated in

mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

~Keep children away from the washing 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 children whilst you

are using it.

~Older children may only use the washing machine if its operation

has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it

safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

~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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

~Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally

visible damage.

Do not install or use a damaged washing machine.

~Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the

connection data on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match

the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified

electrician.

~The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be

guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective

earthing system which complies with current 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 household 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 washing machine to the mains electricity

supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the

required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

~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.

~Please refer to the information in "Installation and connection" and

"Technical data".

~The accesibility of the plug must be always ensured in order to

separate the washing machine from the mains.

Warning and Safety instructions

~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.

Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after

maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

~If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a

Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

~In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washing

machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or

– it is switched off at the mains, or

– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

~This washing machine must only be connected to the on-site

water supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used.

~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 machine warranty.

~Do not make any alterations to the washing machine unless

authorised to do so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

~The maximum load capacity is 7 kg (dry laundry). See the

"Programme chart" for the specific load capacities of individual

programmes.

~Do not install your washing 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 washing machine for the first time, check that

the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see

section on "Installation"). 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 tap 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 imme-

diate 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.

~The new hose sets supplied with the appliance are to be used.

Old hose sets should not be re-used.
