Warning and safety instructions

Read the operating instructions be fore using this machine for the first time. They contain important infor mation about the safety, use and maintenance of the machine. This way you will avoid the risk of acci dents and damage to the machine. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine.

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.

This appliance should not be oper

ated by children. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali fied electrician.

The electrical safety of this appli

ance 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 regularly tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held re sponsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec tric shock).

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (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 responsibility. Repairs should only be un dertaken by a Miele approved engineer.

Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine,

check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install and use a dam aged machine.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre quency) match the mains electricity

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it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or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the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Warning and safety instructions

This machine must only be con

nected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used. Check the hose regu larly for signs of wear and tear. Change in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and subsequent damage.

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.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance 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 appliance guarantee.

Use

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assess ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the transit fit ting at the rear of the machine has been removed (see section on "Installation"). During spinning, a transit fitting which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furni ture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if the ma

chine 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. Otherwise this will result in flooding.

Take care to ensure that foreign ob-

jects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the ma chine with the washing. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the wash ing.

Do not install your washing ma

chine in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure.The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

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 descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. If in doubt, contact the Miele Customer Ser vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.

Textiles which have been pre-

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

Never use solvent based cleaning

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

Only use dyes specified by the

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

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.

Always make sure the drum is sta

tionary before reaching in to re move washing. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

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

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine,

unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.

Colour run and dye removers con

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

–

Without final spin The laundry is not spun after the final

rinse but the water is drained away and the machine goes straight into the anti-crease stage. Spinning be

tween the rinses is also omitted in this setting.

Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly in stalled and connected. See the rele vant section under "Installation". Also check that the fluff filter is se curely tightened. Otherwise there is a risk of water leakage during use.

Before using for the first time

For safety reasons spinning is not pos sible until the machine has been pre pared for using for the first time. To acti vate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without laundry without detergent

Using detergent could result in an excessive build-up of foam.

This also activates the ball valve. The ball valve prevents detergent escaping from the suds container into the sump during a wash programme, thus making maximum use of the detergent.

How to wash correctly

Before washing

A Sort the laundry

^ Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails,

coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.

^ Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and

cuffs, and water soluble stains can be pre-treated with bar soap, liquid detergent or detergent mixed into a solution or paste.

Do not use solvent-based clean

ing agents in this machine.

Sort the laundry by colour and by

care label symbol. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.

Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately sev eral times before being washed to gether with other garments. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.

Delicate textiles should be washed sep arately in a delicates programme (use a washing bag where appropriate).

– Curtains:

Remove lead weights and strips or place in a laundry bag.

– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:

Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc. should be removed or sewn in.

–

Knitted garments, trousers and jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer.

With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

–

Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing.

–

Fasten duvet covers to prevent smaller items rolling up inside them.

Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as non-machine washable on the care label. (h symbol)
