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.
should be removed using specialist
detergents and/or programmes.
Do not use a pressure washer or hose to
clean the machine.
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.
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
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when
expressly approved by Miele. Using
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers will invalidate the warranty,
and Miele cannot accept liability.
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).
6M.-Nr. 09 179 270
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
M.-Nr. 09 179 2707
Caring for the environment
Disposing of the packing material
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.
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 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
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 dryer and for
ironing, 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.
are, however, essential for the correct
functioning of your machine. Please do not
dispose of it with your general waste.
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
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.
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.
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.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's
–
instructions for use.
The right amount to dispense will depend on
the following:
The amount of laundry
–
The water hardness level
–
The soiling level of the laundry
–
The amount to dispense
Take the water hardness into account and
follow the detergent manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
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.

Cleaning and care
The machine should be cleaned and
checked over immediately after use where
possible.
Do not use a pressure washer or hose
,
to clean the machine.
The housing, control panel and any
plastic components should be cleaned
using a suitable mild cleaning agent,
applied with a soft damp cloth. Rub dry with
a soft cloth after cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as
they will damage the surface material.
Parts of the housing made from stainless
steel can be cleaned using a suitable
proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent.
Any deposits on the door seals should be
wiped off using a damp cloth.
The grille over the cooling fan at the back of
the machine should be checked for soiling
from time to time and cleaned if necessary.
Rust
The drum and suds container are
manufactured from rust free stainless steel.
Water with a very high iron content, or
foreign objects such as paper clips, metal
buttons etc. which get into the drum with the
laundry can cause superficial rusting in the
drum and suds container.
To prevent this happening the drum and
suds container should be checked and
cleaned regularly and if rusting does occur it
should be removed using a proprietary
cleaning agent for stainless steel.
The door seals should be checked for
foreign objects regularly and cleaned as
described above.
Clean the detergent dispenser, dispenser
compartments and siphons
The detergent dispenser, dispenser
compartments and siphons must be cleaned
after each use with warm water to thoroughly
remove any residues of detergents or other
agents. If the machine is not going to be
used for a while the detergent dispenser
should be left open to air the compartment.
The siphon in the dispenser compartment
for fabric conditioner should also be
cleaned.
Leave the door ajar after cleaning to allow
the machine to dry.
Remove the siphon and clean with hot water.
Then put it back in place.
