“This washing machine complies with current safety requirements.
| Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and dam-
“age 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 mainte-
"nance.
| Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
| are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future user.
Correct application
> This washing machine is intended for use in domestic households
and similar working and residential environments.
> The washing machine is not intended for outdoor use.
> It must be used only as a domestic appliance to wash items
which are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the
wash care label. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting
from incorrect or improper use or operation.
> The washing 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 safely and recognise and understand the consequen-
ces of incorrect operation.Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
> Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the wash-
ing machine unless they are constantly supervised.
> Children 8 years and older may only use the washing machine un-
supervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recog-
nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
> Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washing
machine unsupervised.
> Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine
and do not let them play with it.
> 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.
Technical safety
> Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and “Technical data".
> Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
Visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.
> Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the connec-
tion data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-
fied electrician.Warning and Safety instructions
> Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
> The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaran-
teed when correctly earthed.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any
doubt, please have the wiring system of the building tested by a
qualified electrician.
Miele 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 sup-
ply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do
not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to
the risk of overheating).
> Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele origi-
nal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran-
tee the safety standards of the machine.
> The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation
so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply
if necessary.
> 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 authorised service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guar-
antee.
> If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.Warning and Safety instructions
> The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when
cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.
> The machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the
Condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in
good time and avoid the risk of any water damage.
> The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should not
exceed 1000 kPa.
> 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.
> The machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
ona ship).
> Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
> Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk
of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the elec-
tronic 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 "Installation
and connection - Removing the transit bars"). During spinning, a
transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the
machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
> Tum 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 contain-
er, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.Warning and Safety instructions
> The maximum load for this washing machine is 7 kg (dry weight).
See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads
for individual programmes.
> If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine
should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale
it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent.
Miele recommends using Miele descaling agent which is available to
order online at www.miele-shop.com or from Miele. Strictly observe
the instructions on the packaging.
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being wash-
ed in the machine.
> Do not 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 ex-
plosion hazard.
> Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine, to clean the surfaces of the machine. They can cause dam-
age to plastic surfaces.
> Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufac-
turer's instructions carefully.Warning and Safety instructions
> Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in
this machine.
> If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thor-
oughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical
assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for refer-
ence. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their
skin coming into contact with detergent.
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.
> A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing
machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional
accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele
washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.
> If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an optional
accessory, depending on country), please make sure you order the
correct one for this washing machine.
