    							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. Please do
    not therefore 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.

    							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
    Only use the washing 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 or operation.
    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.
    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
    6 
    						
    							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 connected 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.
    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 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.
    Warning and Safety instructions
    7 
    						
    							This washing machine may only be
    used in mobile installations such as
    ships if a risk assessment of the
    installation has been carried out by a
    suitably qualified engineer.
    Correct use
    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 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 the Miele Spare Parts
    Department or via the internet on
    www.miele.co.uk.
    Warning and Safety instructions
    8 
    						
    							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
    benzene, 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.
    Never use solvent based cleaning
    agents, e.g. those containing
    benzene, to clean the outside surfaces
    of this machine. They can cause
    damage to plastic surfaces.
    Only use dyes specified by the
    manufacturer as being suitable for
    use in a domestic washing machine.
    Always observe the manufacturers
    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.
    If liquid detergent comes into
    contact with the eyes, rinse them
    thoroughly with lukewarm water imme-
    diately. If swallowed, seek medical
    assistance immediately and retain the
    packaging or label for reference. Those
    with skin problems or sensitive skin
    should avoid their skin coming into
    contact with liquid detergent.
    Only remove laundry from the
    washing machine once the drum
    has stopped turning. Reaching into a
    moving drum is extremely dangerous
    and could result in injury.
    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.
