Read all instructions before installation or use of the washer to prevent injury and machine damage.

Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

This appliance complies with current safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can lead to personal injury and material damage.

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

Correct usage of the washer

~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 be dangerous.

~Persons who lack physical, sensory or mental abilities, or experience with the appliance should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

~This washer-extractor is only intended for laundry which has not come in contact with flammable substances.

~Dry cleaning solvents must not be used in this machine. Such solvents could cause a fire or explosion.

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

~CAUTION: Fire hazard!

Do not store or use gasoline, gasoline-based substances or any easily flammable materials near the machine. Do not use the top of the washer as a storage area.

~Do not store any chemicals (liquid detergents, wash aids) on the top of the washer. The chemicals could damage the surface. Spilled chemicals must be immediately washed off with a wet sponge.

~Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes before using the washing machine. This will release any built-up hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time, the gas is flammable.

~Check the wash results when the laundry was soiled with biological oils or grease. If the laundry is not sufficiently cleaned, a spontaneous combustion might occur when the laundry is dried in a dryer.

Use special detergents or wash programs.

~If the washer is operated in a publicly accessible area, the operator must ensure the safe use of the appliance.

~Ensure that any one operating this machine is familiar with these important safety instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Additional information

~Disinfecting and cleaning agents often contain chlorides (salts) which can cause steel surfaces to rust. To protect the machine from rust damage, only use chloride free disinfecting and cleaning agents for washing/disinfecting and for cleaning the machine. If you are not sure about an agent contact Miele’s Professional Department. If you accidentally spill an agent containing chloride on the machine it should be rinsed off with water and dried with a soft cloth.

~The manufacturer of the washer does not take responsibility for the effect of the chemical on the laundry or the machine when a chemical cleaning agent is recommended on technical application grounds.

~Keep the area around the machine clean and free of debris.

~Before the appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove the door.

~The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodically by a qualified service agent.

Using accessories

~Only use genuine Miele accessories. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may become void.

Chlorine damage to components

How to handle chlorine bleach and perchloroethylene (PCE)

~Heavy use of chlorine products increases the risk of damage to appliance components.

Depending on the chlorine concentration, the exposure time, and the temperature, the use of liquid and powdered chlorine-based bleaches can erode the stainless steel protective layer and lead to corrosion of the appliance components. Therefore, it is recommended that these products not be used. Instead you can use oxygen-based bleaches.

If you still need to use chlorine-based bleaches in special cases, you will need to perform a neutralizing step each time. Failure to do so can result in permanent and irreversible damage to the washing machine and the laundered items.

Chlorine neutralization

Chlorine neutralization must be done immediately following the use of a chlorine-based bleach. For best results, use hydrogen peroxide or an oxygen-based laundry soap or bleach, without draining the tub.

If thiosulfate is used (especially with hard water), lime deposits can form, leading to residue on the laundered items or a build-up in the washing machine. The preferable alternative is to use hydrogen peroxide, because it helps promote the neutralization of chlorine.

The exact amounts to be used, and at what temperature(s), should be selected based on the recommendations of the neutralizer manufacturer, then checked for efficacy. The laundry will need to be tested to ensure that no active chlorine remains behind after neutralization.
