this machine. Most dry cleaning agents, e.g. benzine, pose a fire and explosion hazard.

Petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid

must not be stored or used near the machine. Do not use the machine lid as a storage shelf.

Fire and explosion hazard.

Do not store any chemicals on the machine lid

(liquid detergent, fabric conditioners etc). They could discolour the lid and also damage the surface finish. If any chemicals should come in contact with the surface, wipe them away immediately with clean water. Then dry with a soft cloth.

Technical and electrical safety

The electrical safety of this machine can only be

guaranteed if connected to a correctly installed earthing system on site. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt, the on-site electrical wiring 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 damage, remove or bypass the safety

features, fixtures and control elements of this machine.

Do not use a machine with damaged controls or

cables. These must be repaired before it is used again.

Any removable outer panels must be back in

place, and all moving or electrical parts shielded before the machine is switched on.

Connection should be made via a suitable isolator

which complies with local and national safety regulations and which is easily accessible for disconnecting the machine from the electricity supply. Provision must be made on site to switch off all poles.

The machine is only completely isolated from the

electricity supply either when it is switched off at the isolator switch or the mains fuse has been withdrawn.

Repairs to electrical, gas or steam operated

machines may only be carried out by a suitably qualified person in accordance with national and local safety regulations, e.g. a Gas Safe registered service technician in the U.K for gas-heated machines. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Do not force the drum door open. The door handle

is fitted with an safety device to ensure that the door lock functions correctly.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

The best materials are used in the manufacture of

this machine, and every care is taken to check all parts. However, with time, deterioration of parts can occur, especially with such components as hoses, giving rise to leaks. Check the inlet hoses regularly for signs of wear and tear. Change in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and subsequent damage.

Local regulations regarding regular inspection and

maintenance of this machine must be observed. A log book should be kept with the machine.

Gas-heated washer-extractors

Important After installation, maintenance, conversion,

repairs and before using for the first time it is essential that a test for possible leakages is carried out. All components which carry gas must be checked, including the gas valve and burner jets. Particular attention must be paid to the test nipple on the gas valve. Testing must be carried out with the burner switched on and switched off.

Using the washer-extractor

This machine is not intended for use by people

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it correctly by a person responsible for their safety.

This machine is not a toy! To avoid the risk of

injury never allow children to play on or near the machine, or to operate it themselves.

Remember that the porthole glass will be hot when

washing at very high temperatures. Do not let children touch it.

Always close the door after use. This way you will

avoid the danger of:

–

children climbing onto or into the washer-extractor or hiding things in it.

–

pets or other small animals climbing into it.

Always make sure that the drum is stationary

before reaching into the machine to remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

If the washer-extractor is switched off and the

drum door is closed, you need to switch the machine on before you can open the door. If water comes out of the suds container when the door is opened, close the door and switch the washer-extractor on. Drain the water away before you try and open the door.

It is the operator's responsiblity to ensure that the

standard of disinfection in thermal as well as chemo thermal procedures is maintained (in accordance with § 18 IFSG and national health and safety regulations) by carrying out suitable validation tests. These procedures should be checked on a regular basis, either thermo-electrically using loggers, or bacteriologically with bio indicators. The operator must pay particular attention to maintaining the correct parameters in the procedure, including temperature and with chemo thermal programmes, the chemical concentration used. Disinfection programmes must not be interrupted, as this can have a limiting effect on the disinfection result.

It is particularly important to observe

manufacturer's instructions when using a combination of cleaning agents and special application products. Only use the product for the application described by the manufacturer, to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong chemical reactions. Confirm with the detergent manufacturer that their product can be used in combination with another type of product.

Only use dyes, colour run and dye removers

specified as being suitable for use in washing machines. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Laundry that was soiled with biological oils or fat

should be washed using a suitable detergent and /or wash programme. It must also be inspected after washing. If oils or fat are not sufficiently removed they could cause the laundry to self ignite during the drying process. This type of soiling should be removed using specialist detergents and/or programmes.

Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the

machine.

Take care in the area of the hinges of the drum

door. Danger of injury.

The drum door must be able to be opened to its

fullest extent. This area must not be restricted by doors or structural features.

The water used for washing is a suds solution and

is not drinking water.

The suds solution must be drained away via an appropriate drainage system.

The washer-extractor may only be operated

without supervision if there is a floor drain (gully) in the immediate vacinity.

Warning and Safety instructions

Further notes

Cleaning and disinfecting agents often contain

chlorine-based substances. Do not let such agents dry out on stainless steel surfaces, as the chlorine can have a corrosive effect. Use chlorine-free agents for washing and disinfecting and also for cleaning stainless steel surfaces to protect them from corrosion. If in doubt, confirm with the manufacturer that their product is suitable. If any agent containing chlorine comes into contact with the stainless steel surfaces, wipe it away immediately with clean water. Then dry with a soft cloth.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the

effect of a chemical cleaning agent on laundry or the machine, even when the use of such agents is recommended. Please note that changes to the product which have not been made known by the manufacturer can affect the quality of the wash result.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted when

expressly approved by Miele. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Anti-chlorine treatment

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 thiosulfate, 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 chorline 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.

Disposing of your old machine

Before disposing of an old machine, first make the

door lock unusable. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.

Any additional components used, e.g. suction

devices for liquid agents, electronic water meters or dispenser monitors, must conform to Safety Class II.

If connected to an external PC, this must conform to EN 60950-1:2001 (IEC 60950-1:2001).

Chlorine and component damage

Notes on using chlorine bleach and perchlorethylene

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.

All personnel working with this machine must be fully trained in all aspects of its use and safety.

Keep these instructions in a safe and accessible place.

Caring for the environment

Disposing of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the machine during transportation. The materials used are environmentally friendly for disposal. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.

Packaging materials such as plastic film and

bags must be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old machine

Electrical and electronic 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 machine. Please do not dispose of your old it with your general waste.

Tips on saving energy

To save energy and water, try to load the maximum for the programme selected. Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of wash result and may cause unnecessary creasing.

Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. This saves time and energy.

Carrying out the final rinse with hot water helps to reduce the residual moisture level, and the residual heat in the laundry will help keep processing time down in the dryer, thus saving energy.

Follow detergent manufacturer's advice regarding the right amount of detergent to use. This will depend on the size of the load, the water hardness level and the amount of soiling in the laundry.

Chose the correct programme (with pre-wash or intensive options selected) and the correct temperature.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about recycling schemes.

Please store it out of the reach of children whilst awaiting disposal.

How to wash correctly

Add detergent

With the standard programmes, place detergent for

the main wash in compartment j and if wished, detergent for the Pre-wash in compartment i. Place fabric conditioner in the front section of compartment p

Bleaching agents

Only use bleaching agents on textiles with the x symbol on the wash care label.

Liquid bleaching agents may only be placed in the compartment designated for them. This is to ensure that the agent is added automatically at the second rinse. Liquid bleaching agents should only be used with coloureds if the textile manufacturer's wash care label states that the textile is colour fast and suitable for bleaching.

Place other liquid washing additives, e.g. liquid starch, in the rear section of the compartment p (only if the machine has been programmed for this function).

A 3rd rinse cycle must be programmed in if bleach is to be used (see Profitronic programming manual).

Frequent use of chlorine increases the risk of

component damage.

Only use dyes, colour run, dye removers and descaling agents which are specified as being

suitable for use in washing machines. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Do not exceed the level marker in compartment p. Otherwise the agent will run through the siphon into the suds container.

How to wash correctly

Detergent dispensing

It is important to avoid adding too much detergent as this causes excessive foam.

Do not use detergents which create a lot of foam.

Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.

Gas heated machines

On gas heated machines the suds solution is pumped around the heater elements. This additional agitation of the suds solution creates foam. It is therefore important to use a low-foaming detergent and not to use too much detergent.

If over-foaming occurs use a reduced foam detergent or call in a detergent application specialist.

Please follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging for dispensing requirements.

,This is particularly important when using a

combination of cleaning agents and special application products. Only use the product for the application described by the manufacturer, to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong chemical reactions. Confirm with the detergent manufacturer that their product can be used in combination with another type of product.

Liquid agents should be allowed to settle to room temperature before use to ensure that their viscosity level is correct and thus ensure the correct amount is dispensed.

Commissioning the dispensing pumps

Before the liquid dispensing pumps can be used the liquid agent must be drawn up into the system and the amount to be dispensed set.

Cleaning and maintaining the dispensing system

The dispensing system should be flushed through with clean warm water every two weeks and before any longer down-times to prevent the risk of blockages and corrosion.

The suction pipes should be cleaned through with water.

Place the suction pipes in a container of hot water (40 - 50°C).

Then use the dispenser calibration system to operate each pump until the dispensing system is thoroughly flushed through.

After reconnecting all parts check all connections, hoses, dispensers and seals for leakages.
