Caring for our environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these materi als away, please ensure they are of fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incor rectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the cor rect functioning of your appliance or machine. Please do not therefore dis pose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

Warning and safety instructions

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They con tain important information on its sa fety, use and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machi ne.

Correct usage

Only use the washing machine to

wash items which are specified by the manufacturer to be machine-washable on the wash-care label, and textiles composed of hand-washable wool or wool blend fabrics as well as satin, lace, silk and other hand-washable garments. Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine,

check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install and use a da maged machine.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate match the mains electri city supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this machi

ne can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the ma chine and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and where there is any doubt the household wiring system 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 connect the machine to the

mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements. 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 technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or re pair work has been carried out.

The machine is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply when:

–

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or

–

it is switched off at the mains, or

–

the mains fuse is withdrawn.

–

the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).

Warning and safety instructions

The Miele "Water protection sy

stem" protects from water damage provided the following conditions have been met:

the machine is correctly plumbed in

–

and connected to the electricity supply.

if a fault has been identified, the ma

–

chine must be examined by a com petent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.

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.

If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the ma chine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Use

This equipment may only be used

in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk as sessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engi neer.

Do not install your washing machi

ne in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen ho ses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be im paired at temperatures below freezing point.

Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the transit fit tings at the rear of the machine have been removed (see section on "Installa tion"). During spinning, a transit fitting which is still in place may result in da mage to both the machine and adja cent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if the machi-

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

Flooding danger

If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Make sure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowing out of the hose does not dislodge it.

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), which in turn can result in damage to the laun dry.

Warning and safety instructions

If the correct amount of detergent

is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale the machine only use proprietary non-corrosive de scaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. If in doubt, contact the Miele Customer Service Dept. or your Miele Dealer.

Textiles which have been pre-trea

ted in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.

Never use solvent based cleaning

agents, e.g. those containing benzene, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.

Only use dyes specified by the ma-

nufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Colour run and dye removers con

tain sulphur compounds which can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in this machine.

Always make sure the drum is sta

tionary before reaching in to remo ve washing. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Safety with children

This machine is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury do not allow children to play on or near it or to play with the controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm, and supervise children whilst you are operating the machine.

For machines with a ‘porthole’

door, remember that the porthole glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Do not let children touch it.

Accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine,

switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appli ance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Description of the machine

Before using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly instal led and connected. See "Installation and connection". Also check that the drain filter is securely tightened to prevent the risk of water leaks during use.
