IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the operating instructions before using this machine for the first time. They contain important information about the safety, use and maintenance of the machine. Doing so will prevent injury and damage to the dryer.

Save these instructions and pass them on to any future user.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

Technical Safety

Check the packaging, the washer

and accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate (circuit protection, voltage and frequency) match the mains electrical supply. If in doubt contact an electrician.

The appliance must be grounded.

It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met.

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electrical supply with an extension cord. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user which is not covered by the manufacturer. Repairs should only be performed by a Miele approved technician.

Ensure power is not supplied to the

appliance while maintenance or repair work is being performed. The machine is only completely isolated from the electrical supply when it is turned off at the main switch and the plug is pulled or by tripping the circuit breaker.

Connect the washer, to the water

mains. Do not use old hoses. Inspect the intake hoses regularly for damage. They should be replaced as needed to prevent water damage.

Faulty components must only be

replaced with genuine Miele spare parts to maintain safety standards.

If the power cord is damaged it

must only be replaced by a Miele Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 cause undesirable results. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of the appliance.

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 installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

Do not install this machine in rooms

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.

Do not wash articles that have

been previously cleaned, washed soaked or spotted with gasoline, organic substances dry-cleaning solvents, or any other flammable substances. These articles give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Do not add these items to the washload.

Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the shipping struts at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation"). If the shipping struts are still in place during spinning, damage may result to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the water supply if the

machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. vacation).

Overflow hazard!

Check that the drain can accommodate the water flow before operating the washer. Make certain the drain hose is secured in the drain, otherwise the force of the expelled water could cause the drain hose to come out of the drain.

Be sure that foreign objects (e.g.

nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine. These items may damage the machine, which may also cause damage to the laundry.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If the correct amount of detergent

is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If the washer needs to be descaled, use a descaling agent with corrosion protection. These special descaling agents can be purchased from the Miele Service department. Use as directed.

Never use solvent based cleaning

agents in this machine, this may result in damage and create toxic fumes. They will present a fire and explosion hazard.

Items which have been pre-treated

in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.

Only use dyes specified by the

manufacturer as being suitable for use in a washing machine. Use as directed by the manufacturer.

Dye removers may contain sulphur

compounds which cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use dye removers in this machine.

The stainless steel casing must not

come in contact with liquid cleaning or disinfection agents containing chlorine. They may cause corrosion. Do not store open containers of this agent next to the machine.

Children

Close supervision is necessary

when the appliance is used near children. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.

Using accessories

Accessories must only be installed

once approved by Miele. Installing unapproved parts may void the warranty and product liability.

The drum door glass will be hot

when washing at very high temperatures. Do not touch the glass. Danger of burns!
