Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater­ial

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 appli­ance

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.

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 wash-

ing machine unsupervised.

 Always supervise any children in the vicinity of the washing ma-

chine. 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 guaran-

teed 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 condi-

tions 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 wa-

ter 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 ori-

ginal 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 con-

nection, 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 8.0kg. The maximum recom-

mended loads for individual programmes are given in the Programme
chart.

 Do not install your washing machine in a room where temperat-

ures 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.

 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.

 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, pa-

per 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.

 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.

12

Warning and safety instructions

 Never use solvent based detergents, e.g. those containing ben-

zine, 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

 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.

 Only use dyes suitable for use in a washing machine. Always ob-

serve 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 ma-

chine.

 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 imme-

diately 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.

1. Preparing the laundry

Emptying pockets

 Empty all pockets.

 Damage due to foreign objects.

Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on
can cause damage to garments and
components in the machine.

Check the laundry before washing
and remove any foreign objects.

Sorting the laundry

 Sort the laundry according to colour

and the garment care label.

Pre-treating stains

 Badly soiled areas and stains should

be cleaned as soon as possible.
Spillages should be carefully dabbed
off using a soft, colourfast cloth.

 Risk of explosion due to solvent-

based detergents.
When using solvent-based deter-

gents, an explosive mixture may de­velop.

Never use solvent-based detergents
in the washing machine.

General tips

- Do not machine wash items which
are specified by the manufacturer as
not washable on the care label ().

- Curtains: remove rollers and lead
weights or place in a laundry bag.

- Sew in or remove any loose underwir­ing in bras.

- Turn garments inside out, if recom­mended by the manufacturer.

- Zip up or close any jackets with Vel­cro or hook and eye fastenings before
washing.

- Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from becoming
rolled up inside them.

- Please refer to the Programme chart
for more tips and tricks.

 Damage due to solvent-based

detergents.
Detergents containing benzine, stain

remover, etc., can damage plastic
parts.

When pre-treating textiles, make sure
that any plastic parts do not come
into contact with the detergent.

2. Loading the washing machine

Opening 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.

Closing the door

 Make sure that no items are caught

between the door and the seal.

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.

 Shut the door with a gentle swing.
