The packaging is designed to protect
the machine from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
'LVSRVLQJ RI \RXU ROG PDFKLQH
Electrical and electronic machines
often contain valuable materials. They
also 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 machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of it with your
general waste.

Before setting up the machine, check it for any externally visible
~
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged machine.
The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed
~
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
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 approved service technician.
If this is not done, any resultant damage will not be covered by the
guarantee.
Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after
maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
~
do so by Miele.
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the
~
event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.

&RUUHFW XVH
Do not install your 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 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.
Shake out wash cloths before placing them in the machine to ensure
that any coarse or harmful residues are removed. 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 your Miele dealer.
10
:DUQLQJ DQG 6DIHW\ LQVWUXFWLRQV
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
~
benzine 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.
Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not
~
be stored or used near the machine. Danger of fire and explosion.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
~
use in a 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.
Avoid contact of stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing) with
~
liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or
sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on
stainless steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine bleach can also be
corrosive. Do not store open containers of these agents near the
appliance.
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or hose to clean the machine.
~
It is particularly important to observe manufacturer's instructions
~
when using a combination of cleaning agents and special
application products. Products must only be used for applications
approved by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the
occurrence of strong chemical reactions.

Frequent use of chlorine increases the risk of component
~
damage.
The use of agents containing chlorine, such as sodium hypochlorite
and chlorine bleach in powder form, can damage the protective
upper surface of stainless steel and cause corrosion to components.
Factors affecting this are chlorine concentration levels, contact time
and temperature. It is therefore advisable to avoid the use of such
agents. Oxygen based bleaching agents should be used instead.
If, however, chlorine based bleaching agents have to be used for
particular types of soiling, then anti-chlorine measures must also be
carried out. If this is not done irreparable damage can occur to
components in the machine and to laundry.
$QWLFKORULQH WUHDWPHQW
Anti-chlorine treatment has to be carried out immediately after
chlorine bleach has been used. The use of hydrogen peroxide or an
oxygen based cleaning or bleaching agent is recommended and
the laundry should not be drained in between.
With thiosulphate, especially when used with hard water, gypsum
can form, which can lead to incrustations on laundry or deposits in
the machine. The use of hydrogen peroxide is preferable as it aids
the chlorine neutralising process.
The exact quantity of additives and the treatment temperatures
required must be set and tested on site in accordance with the
dosage recommendations of the detergent and additive
manufacturers. The laundry must also be tested to check whether it
contains any active chlorine residues.

^ Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately
several times before being included in
a mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
– Knitted garments, trousers and
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn
inside out, if recommended by the
manufacturer.
^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub!
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated
with liquid detergent, stain removers
etc. first, following the manufacturer's
instructions. With particularly stubborn
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
