Warning and Safety instructions

Please read the operating instructions be fore using this machine for the first time. They contain important information about the safety, use and maintenance of the machine. This way you 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 im pregnated with dangerous or inflammable substances.

Only machine wash articles which pos

sess a care label stating they are suit able for machine washing.

It is the operator’s responsibility to en

sure that the standard of disinfection in thermal as well as chemo thermal proce dures 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 ma chine. There may be the danger of fire or ex plosion.

Never use or store petrol or petroleum

based substances or any easily inflam mable 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 appliance

can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance 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 responsi ble for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.

Do not damage, remove or bypass the

safety features and controls on the ma chine.

Where there is any damage to the ma

chine or to the cable insulation the ma chine must not be used until it has been re paired.

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from the electricity supply either when switched off at the wall isolator, or the mains fuse is withdrawn from the socket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 to machines operating with elec-

tricity, gas or steam should only be undertaken by a suitably qualified service engineer to ensure safety. Unauthorised repairs could be dangerous.

Faulty components should only be ex

changed for Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaran teed.

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. This should be borne in mind if oper ating the machine without supervision. 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 capa bilities, 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.

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 sewerage system.

The machine should only be operated

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

Disinfecting and cleaning agents often

have compounds containing chlorides in them. If these agents dry on to stainless steel surfaces, the residual chlorides will at tack the steel and can cause rusting. To protect your machine from rust damage, we recommend only using chloride free dis infecting and cleaning agents for washing and disinfecting programmes and for clean ing 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 manufacturer’s in structions on how to use them.

Laundry that was soiled with biological

oils or fat should be washed using a suit able 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 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.

Where a chemical cleaning agent is rec-

ommended 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 for mulation, 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 high pressure

cleaners or hose down the machine.

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.

M.-Nr. 05 150 392 5

Warning and Safety instructions

Chlorine and component damage

Notes on using chlorine bleach and per chlorethylene

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 corro sion. Factors affecting this are chlorine con centration levels, contact time and tempera ture. 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 irrepa rable damage can occur to components in the machine and to laundry.

Disposal of old machines or appliances

When disposing of an old washer extrac

tor first make it unusable. Disconnect from all services, cut off the cable and the plug from the cable. Make the door lock inoperative, so that chil dren cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the safe disposal of the appliance.

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.

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 in stance.

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 treat ment temperatures required must be set and tested on site in accordance with the dos age recommendations of the detergent and additive manufacturers. The laundry must also be tested to make sure it contains no active chlorine residues after processing.

6 M.-Nr. 05 150 392

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are envi ronmentally 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 dis posed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the envi ronment. 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 en sure 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 com petent person.

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the washing machine

Clean the casing with a mild non-abrasive detergent or soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Clean the facia 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 manufac turer’s instructions.

Do not use any scouring agent or solvent cleaner.

After use, clean the detergent box thor oughly with hot water to remove detergent residues and deposits. Otherwise the items being washed may become recontaminated after the disinfection process.

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

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

To clean the filter in the inlet hose:

Close the stopcock.

^ 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 plas-

tic 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 opera tion. 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 able to withstand a minimum pressure of 70 bar. Miele’s own hoses meet this require ment.

The washing machine has the following fil ters to protect the inlet valves:

–

in the free end of any water inlet hose,

–

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

M.-Nr. 05 150 392 19

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.

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 ro tated every 4 weeks to prevent damage to the bearings.

^ 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.

20 M.-Nr. 05 150 392

Any work on the electrical components of this machine should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person. Unauthorized repairs could be dangerous.

There are, however, minor faults which can be corrected without contacting the Service Department.

Opening the drum door in the event of a power failure

Turn the programme selector to "r End"

Close the on-site stopcocks

To remove laundry the drain valve needs to be manually opened and then the drum door manually unlocked.

Problem solving guide

Open the flap for the suds filter/drainage

system.

^ To open the drain valve loosen the vent

screw using a number 17 spanner. The vent screw is located at the rear of the ma chine. It must not be taken right out. The water will then drain out of the machine.

Warning. Some water will seep out of the screw vent (approx.100 cc), use a suitable container to catch it.

After draining the machine tighten the vent screw back up and make sure that it is se curely in position.

Problem solving guide

Possible reasons for increased levels of foaming

detergent type

–

Only use detergent formulated for use in

commercial washer extractors. Domestic laundry detergent is not suitable.

overdosing of detergent

–

Dispense detergent following the deter

gent manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging and in accordance with local water hardness levels.

detergent creates too much foam

–

Use a lower foaming detergent or contact

your detergent application specialist.

very soft water

–

In areas with hardness level 1 dispense

less detergent in accordance with the de tergent manufacturer’s instructions.

– soiling level of the laundry

^ For lightly soiled laundry dispense less de-

tergent in accordance with the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

Laundry is either not spun at all or not spun satisfactorily.

The machine was not able to distribute the

laundry load evenly. To protect the ma chine, laundry was either only spun at a re duced speed or not at all.

The drain system may be clogged.

The "n" indicator light flashes.

The machine has switched off because of serious imbalance.

Switch the on-site mains switch off and

then on again or open the drum door with the emergency release as described in "Opening the door in a power cut".

The machine shakes during the spin cy cle.

The most likely cause is that the four machine feet are not resting securely on the floor.

^ Level the machine as described in "Notes

for the installer".

– residues, e.g. detergent are left on laun-

dry

^ Run an additional pre-wash without deter-

gent and without selecting a temperature. Laundry which has been soaked before washing must be thoroughly rinsed before running a wash programme.

–

small loads

Reduce the amount of detergent dis pensed according to the size of the load.

Notes for the installer

The washer-extractor must be installed by an approved service technician or an au thorized Service Dealer.

Installation

Front transit fitting

A concrete floor is the most suitable installa tion surface. Please note:

The machine must be level and securely

positioned. Do not install the machine on a ‘soft’ base

such as floorboards as this could result in more vibration during the spin cycles.

If the machine is installed on a raised

plinth it should be secured using the butt straps supplied with the machine.

If there is not already a concrete plinth on-site, the Miele Spare Parts department offer a steel plinth. It must be ensured that the steel plinth is secured to the floor, (see enclosed installation plan).

To avoid the possibility of frost damage on no account install the machine in a room which is exposed to frost.

"A" (1 piece)

The front panel must be taken off, (2 internal torx T20 screws at the bottom) in order to re move the front transit fitting (3 SW-13 screws).

Rear transit fitting

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

Transit fittings

Do not remove the red transit fittings marked "A", "B". and "C" until the machine has been installed in its final position.

The machine must not be moved without the transit fittings in place.

The transit fittings should be stored in a safe place for future use. They must be re-fitted if the machine is moved again.

"B" (1 piece) "C" (1 piece)

The rear panel must be taken off, (just loosen 15 internal torx T20 screws at the bot tom) in order to remove the rear transit fit tings (3 SW13 screws each).

The machine must not be moved without all the outer panels in place.

26 M.-Nr. 05 150 392

Notes for the installer

Levelling

The machine must stand level to ensure smooth operation.

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.

Connection to water supply

Connection must be made to the water sup ply via a stopcock which conforms with local and national regulations. This work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and com petent person.

To ensure the machine is correctly con nected please observe the installation plan and the installation instructions supplied with the machine.

See the installation diagram supplied for in structions 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 that the hose marked 90°C lasts a long time it should not be connected to a hot water supply hotter than 70°C. If replacing an inlet hose only use a hose able to withstand a burst pressure of at least 70 bar and a water temperature of at least 90°C. This also applies to all connection parts. Miele "Original" spare parts meet this requirement. A water pressure flow rate of at least 1 bar, maximum 10 bar is essential to ensure the smooth operation of this machine. The inlet hot water temperature must not exceed 70°C.

Cold water connection
