M.-Nr. 07 076 772 3

Warning and Safety Instructions

Please read the operating instructions
before using this machine for the first
time. They contain important information
about the safety, use and maintenance of
the machine. This will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the machine.

Appropriate use of the machine

This washer extractor is only intended for

items of laundry which have not been
impregnated with dangerous or inflammable
substances.

Only machine wash articles which

possess a care label stating they are
suitable for machine washing.

It is the operator’s responsibility to

ensure that the standard of disinfection
in thermal as well as chemo thermal
procedures is maintained (in accordance
with § 18 IFSG) 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.

On no account must solvents of the kind

used for dry cleaning be used in this
machine. There may be the danger of fire or
explosion.

Never use or store petrol or petroleum

based substances or any easily
inflammable substances near the machine.
Do not use the machine lid as a resting
place.
Danger of fire or explosion

Technical and electrical safety

The electrical safety of this machine can

only be guaranteed when continuity is
complete between it and an effective
earthing system which complies with local
and national safety regulations.
It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is regularly tested by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.

Do not damage, remove or bypass the

safety features and controls on the
machine.

Where there is any damage to the

machine or to the cable insulation the
machine must not be used until it has been
repaired.

Any removable outer panels must be in

place, and all moving or electrical parts
shielded before the machine is operated.

The machine is only completely isolated

from the electricity supply either when
switched off at the wall isolator, or the mains
fuse is withdrawn from the socket.

Repairs should only be undertaken by a

suitably qualified service engineer to
ensure safety. Unauthorised repairs could be
dangerous.

Faulty components should only be

exchanged for Miele original spare parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can the
safety standards of the machine be
guaranteed.

The very best materials are used in the

manufacture of this machine, and every
care is taken in its manufacture. However,
with time, deterioration of parts can occur,
especially with rubber components such as
hoses. Check the inlet hoses regularly for
signs of deterioration and replace in good
time, to avoid leaks and subsequent
damage.

Warning and Safety Instructions

Use of the machine

This washer extractor is not intended for

use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use
by a person responsible for their safety.

Never allow children to play in, on or

near the washer extractor, or to operate it
themselves. Please supervise its use by the
elderly or infirm.

Remember that the door porthole glass

can become hot during the operation of
the machine. Do not let children touch it.

When washing with high temperatures

steam can be emitted from the venting
slot behind the machine.

Do not grip between the suspended

drum unit and the seal of the front panel
cut-out during spin.

Disinfecting and cleaning agents often

have compounds containing chlorides in
them. If these agents dry on to stainless
steel surfaces, the residual chlorides will
attack the steel and can cause rusting.
To protect your machine from rust damage,
we recommend only using chloride free
disinfecting and cleaning agents for washing
and disinfecting programmes and for
cleaning stainless steel surfaces of the
machine itself.
If you are not sure about a particular agent,
contact the manufacturer of that agent for
advice.
If you accidentally spill an agent containing
chlorides on the machine it should be rinsed
off with water and dried using a soft cloth.

Proprietary dyes, dye removers and

descaling agents may only be used in
this machine if the manufacturer expressly
states that they are suitable for use in a
washing machine. Follow the instructions on
the packaging.

Always make sure the drum is stationary

before reaching in to remove washing.
Reaching into a moving drum is extremely
dangerous.

Water used for washing and rinsing must

not be used as drinking water. It must be
discharged into a proper drainage system.

The machine should only be operated

unsupervised when there is a floor drain
(gully) in the direct vicinity of the machine.

To avoid flooding:

If hooking the hose into a sink make sure
that the water can flow away freely to avoid
flooding.
Secure the hose against slipping. The
pressure of the water flowing out can push
an unsecured hose out of the sink.

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.

Always follow the instructions of the

chemical manufacturer when using a
combination of cleaning agents and special
application chemicals. Only use such
chemicals for the purpose and in the
situation specified by the manufacturer in
order to avoid the danger of adverse
chemical reactions and material damage.
If in doubt check the suitability of the
product for use in this machine with the
manufacturer before using it.

M.-Nr. 07 076 772 5

Warning and Safety Instructions

Where a chemical cleaning agent is

recommended on technical application
grounds, this does not imply that the
manufacturer of the machine takes
responsibility for the effect of the chemical
on the material of the items being cleaned or
on the machine.
Please be aware that changes in
formulation, storage conditions etc., which
may not be publicised by the chemical
producer, can have a negative effect on the
cleaning result.

On no account use pressure washers or

hose down the machine to clean it.

Use of accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted when

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

Chlorine and component damage

Anti-chlorine treatment

Anti-chlorine treatment has to be carried out
immediately after chlorine bleach has been
used. Hydrogen peroxide and oxygen based
cleaning and bleaching agents must only be
used in programmes specified for their use.
Any wash performance problems should be
discussed with the manufacturer of the
cleaning / bleaching product in the first
instance.

With thiosulfate, especially when used with
hard water, gypsum can form, which can
lead to incrustations on laundry or deposits
in the machine.

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 make sure it contains
no active chlorine residues after processing.

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
surface of stainless steel and cause
corrosion. 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.

Disposal of old machines

When disposing of an old washer-

extractor first make it unusable.
Disconnect from all services.
Make the door lock inoperative, so that
children cannot accidentally shut
themselves in. Make appropriate
arrangements for the safe disposal of the
machine.

All personnel working with this machine
must be fully trained in all aspects of its
use and safety.

Keep these instructions in a safe place

6 M.-Nr. 07 076 772

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. Packaging e.g. cling
film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must
be kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.

Rather than just throwing these materials
away, please ensure that they are recycled.

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines often
contain materials which, if handled or
disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially
hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however, essential
for the correct functioning of your machine.
Please do not therefore dispose of it with
your household waste.

Caring for the environment

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.
