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from the electricity supply either when switched off at the wall isolator, or the mains fuse is withdrawn from the socket.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

4 M.-Nr. 07 076 772

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.

Sort the laundry

Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Sort the laundry by care label symbols. Only wash items in this machine which are stated by the manufacturer to be machine washable on the textile care label. Dark textiles often contain excess dye, and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Delicate textiles should be washed separately in a delicates programme.

Loading the drum

Unfold laundry and load loosely in the drum. For best results make up mixed loads of large and small items. This improves the washing effect and distributes the load better for spinning. Overloading reduces the wash result and causes more creasing.

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the machine

Clean the casing with a mild non-abrasive detergent or soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Clean the fascia panel with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. The drum and any other stainless steel parts can be cleaned using a proprietary stainless steel cleaner according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not use any scouring agent or solvent cleaner.

If you are unsure about a particular product or need further advice please contact your nearest Miele Sales office. See back page for address.

Remove any deposits from the door seal with a damp cloth.

To clean the filter in the inlet hose:

Close the stopcock.

Build-up of rust

The drum and suds container are manufactured from rust-free stainless steel. It is, however, possible that water with a high iron content or foreign bodies in the wash, (e.g. paper clips or metal buttons), may lead to the formation of superficial rust spots in the drum and/or suds container, especially if the machine is not used for a long time. Stainless steel components should be cleaned regularly with a proprietary cleaning agent for stainless steel. This must be done if rust appears!

Door seals should also be regularly checked to make sure that nothing has got trapped in them. Clean them regularly.

Cleaning the filters in the water inlet

The washing machine has the following filters to protect the inlet valves:

^ Carefully unscrew the knurled coupling

connecting the inlet hose to the stopcock.

^ Remove the rubber seal from the recess. ^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the

plastic filter bar, remove the filter and clean.

^ Put the filter and seal back in the reverse

order.

The filters in the inlet hose should be checked and cleaned approx. every 6 months. Inspect the inlet hose which is subjected to high pressure while the machine is in operation. The hose should be replaced if there are small cracks in the surface, or if it has been otherwise damaged.

If replacing the inlet hose only use a hose tested to withstand pressure of at least 70 bar. Miele’s own hoses meet this requirement.

–

in the free end of any water inlet hose,

–

in the water inlet valve(s) for connection hose to machine.

M.-Nr. 07 076 772 25

Cleaning and Care

To clean the filter in the water inlet valve:

Using pliers, carefully loosen the ribbed

plastic nut on the inlet valve, and unscrew.

After use the detergent box should be

cleaned with warm water to remove any

detergent residues.

The siphons in compartments § and x

should also be cleaned.

Unscrew the screws next to the siphons.

^ Use water pump pliers to withdraw the

plastic filter by the bar (see illustration).

^ Clean and put back in the reverse order.

The machine must not be used without the two dirt filters being put back in place.

^ Pull the siphons upwards to remove for

cleaning in warm water. Replace in the

reverse order (the siphons must be hooked

in correctly).

If the machine is not going to be used for a longer period of time (4 weeks or more) the drum should be rotated several times after the last use. The drum should be rotated every 4 weeks to prevent damage to the bearings.

Notes for the installer

Levelling

The machine must stand level to ensure smooth operation.

Do not install the machine on carpeted flooring if the carpet pile blocks the ventilation gap at the base of the machine.

Connection to water supply

Connection must be made to the water supply via a stopcock which conforms with local and national regulations. This work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person. To ensure the machine is correctly connected please observe the installation plan and the installation instructions supplied with the machine.

See the installation diagram supplied for instructions on connection to the water supply and for drainage. The inlet pressure hoses supplied with the machine must be used for connection to the water supply. To ensure the hot water inlet hose (marked 90°C) lasts for many years it is advised not to use it on a hot water connection supplying water hotter than 70°C.

The adjustable feet can compensate for an uneven base.

^ Screw the foot or feet out until the machine

stands level.

^ Hold the foot tight using a pipe wrench. ^ Tighten the counternut using a screwdriver

as indicated.

If replacing an inlet hose only use a hose able to withstand a burst pressure of at least 70 bar and a temperature of 90°C. This also applies to all connection parts. Miele "Original" spare parts are tested to this standard.

A water pressure flow rate of at least 1 bar, maximum 10 bar is essential to ensure the smooth operation of this machine.

Water taken into the machine must not exceed a temperature of 70°C.

Connection to cold water only

Drainage

A DN 70 angle connector can be used to make connection to an on-site drainage system, (sink box with odour trap).
