Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-

ial

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance 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.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

6

Warning and safety instructions

This washing machine complies with all current local and national safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property.

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washing machine. They contain important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the washing machine.

In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the chapter on installing the washing machine as well as the safety instructions and warnings.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these instructions.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.

When instructing other people how to use the washing machine, they must be made aware of these safety and warning instructions.

Appropriate use

The washing machine is only suitable for washing fabrics with a care label stating that they are suitable for machine washing. Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation of the machine.

This washing machine must be used as described in the operating instructions and must be checked on a regular basis to make sure it is functioning correctly. Maintenance must be carried out when necessary.

The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.

This washing machine may also be operated in public areas.

7

Warning and safety instructions

This washing machine can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the consequences of incorrect operation.

Children under the age of 8 must not be allowed near the washing machine unless they are constantly supervised.

Children over the age of 8 may only use the washing machine without supervision if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely. Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.

Children may not carry out cleaning or maintenance on the washing machine unsupervised.

Always supervise any children in the vicinity of the washing machine. Never allow children to play with the washing machine.

Disinfection programmes must not be interrupted, as this can have a limiting effect on the disinfection result. It is the operator's responsibility to ensure that the standard of disinfection in thermal as well as chemo thermal procedures is maintained by carrying out suitable validation tests.

8

Warning and safety instructions

Technical safety

Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not set up or use a damaged washing machine.

The electrical safety of the washing machine can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed.

It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested and in case of any doubt the on-site wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.

Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.

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, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.

The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault:

-switch off at the wall and disconnect the plug from the socket, or

-disconnect the fuse at the mains circuit board, or

-unscrew the on-site screw-in fuse.

See “Installation – Electrical connection”.

9

Warning and safety instructions

If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.

The appliance may only be operated when the following conditions are met:

-The ship’s hull is longer than 24 metres.

-The list of the vessel is not more than 2°.

-Any external vibration is no more than 150 Hz at an amplitude of 0.35 mm.

The safe operation and correct functioning of the appliance can only

be guaranteed if the above conditions are met.

The appliance may not be operated on an open deck.

Appliances that do not carry the “ETL C/US” safety mark comply with European safety regulations.

These appliances must not be operated in the USA.

This appliance must only be installed by a qualified person who has made sure that the conditions for its safe use are met.

When installing this appliance, it must be securely fixed to the floor.

Failure to do this could result in personal injury, damage to the appliance and damage to other objects and installations.

The washing machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used. Check the hose regularly for signs of wear. Replace it in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and subsequent damage.

10

Warning and safety instructions

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.

For reasons of safety, do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead, multi-socket adapter, or similar. These can overheat and are a fire hazard.

Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical data”.

If the washing machine is equipped with an electrical plug connection, it must be easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.

If the appliance is hard wired, an on-site all pole circuit breaker must always be accessible to disconnect the washing machine from the mains.

This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised person or the Miele Service Department.

Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be assured if it has been correctly connected to the mains electricity supply.

11

Warning and safety instructions

Correct use

The maximum dry laundry weight is 7.0 kg. The maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are given in the Programme chart.

Do not install your washing machine in a room 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 washing machine have been removed (see “Installation – Removing transit bars”). During spinning, transit bars which are still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Hook the hose over the edge and secure. If the hose is unsecured, the force of the water flowing out of it can dislodge it from the basin.

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. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum). Damaged components can damage 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 it, only use special non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. Special descaling agent is available from your Miele dealer or from Miele Service. Strictly observe the instructions for the descaling agent.

Close the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.

12

Warning and safety instructions

For textiles that have been treated with solvent-based detergents, always check whether they can be washed in a washing machine. To check whether this is possible, refer to safety notes, information concerning the product's environmental properties, and other information.

Never use solvent based detergents, e.g. those containing benzine, in this machine. Doing so may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion.

Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not be stored or used near the machine. Risk of fire and explosion

Only use dyes 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 washing machine.

Avoid contact between stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing) and liquid detergents or disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive. Do not store open containers of these agents near the machine.

Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the washing 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.

13

Warning and safety instructions

If detergent has come into contact with the eyes, rinse out immediately with plenty of lukewarm water. If detergent has accidentally been ingested, seek medical advice immediately. People with damaged or sensitive skin should avoid contact with detergent.

When adding or removing laundry during the main wash, your skin may come into contact with detergent, particularly if the detergent is dispensed externally. Take care when placing your hands inside the drum. If suds have come into contact with the skin, rinse off immediately with lukewarm water.

Accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, warranty, performance, and product liability claims will be invalidated.

Miele tumble dryers and Miele washing machines can be installed as a washer-dryer stack. This requires a Miele washer-dryer stacking kit which can be purchased separately. Please ensure that the washer-dryer connection kit is suitable for the Miele tumble dryer and the Miele washing machine.

If installing the machine on a Miele plinth (available as an optional accessory), please make sure you order the correct one for this washing machine.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance

with these warning and safety instructions.

2. Loading the washing machine

Opening the door

Closing the door

Reach under the door grip and pull the door open.

Check the drum for foreign objects before loading it with laundry.

Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum.

Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps to distribute the load evenly during spinning.

The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creasing.

Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.

Shut the door with a gentle swing.
