    							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 or contact your Dealer for
    advice. 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
    This washing machine is for
    domestic use only and can only be
    used 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. Miele 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 are supervised whilst using it or
    have been given 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.
    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).
    The Miele "Water protection system"
    protects from water damage provided
    the following conditions have been met:
    –
    the machine is correctly plumbed in
    and connected to the electricity
    supply.
    –
    if a fault has been identified, the
    machine must be examined by a
    competent person before further use,
    and repaired if necessary.
    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.
    Do not make any alterations to the
    washing machine, unless authorised to
    do so by Miele.
    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-shop.com.
    Warning and Safety instructions

    							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 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.
    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.
