This washer-extractor is only intended for
laundry not impregnated with dangerous
or flammable substances.
Dry cleaning solvents must not be used
in this machine. Such solvents could
cause a fire or explosion.
This appliance conforms to all uniform
safety codes and regulations. The manu
facturer cannot be held responsible for
damage or injury caused by improper use
of this appliance.
All personnel working with this machine
must be fully trained in its use and safety.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
-

Electrical Safety
Installation, repair and maintenance
work should be by a Miele authorized
service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Before installation make sure that the
voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the site electrical
supply. This data must correspond to pre
vent injury and machine damage. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
Be certain your appliance is properly in
stalled and grounded by a qualified
technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this ap
pliance, continuity must exist between the

tem. It is imperative that this basic safety re
quirement be met. If there is any doubt, have
the electrical system of the house checked
by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damages
caused by the lack, or inadequacy of, an ef
fective grounding system.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Only use genuine Miele accessories. If
unapproved parts are used, guarantee,
performance and product liability claims
may become void.
Chlorine or agents containing chlorine
are corrosive, and can under certain
conditions lead to permanent damage to
components.
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often
contain chloride (salts). If these sub
stances dry on steel surfaces the residual
chlorides can attack the steel and cause
rusting.
To protect your machine from rust damage,
only use chloride free disinfecting and
cleaning agents for washing and disinfect
ing, and for cleaning the machine. If you ac
cidentally spill an agent containing chloride
on the machine it should be rinsed off with
water and dried using a soft cloth.
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
recommended on technical application
grounds, this does not imply that the manu
facturer of the machine takes responsibility
for the effect of the chemical on the material
of the items being cleaned or on the ma
chine. Please be aware that changes in for
mulation, storage conditions etc., which may
not be published by the chemical producer,
can have a negative effect on the cleaning
result.
-
-
-
-
-
Maintenance
Faulty components should only be re
placed with genuine Miele spare parts.
The safety standards of the machine can
only be guaranteed when Miele spare parts
are used.
Over time deterioration of parts can oc
cur, especially rubber components
such as hoses. Check the inlet hoses regu
larly for signs of deterioration or leaks, to
prevent water or machine damage.
Local regulations regarding regular in
spection and maintenance of this ma
chine must be observed.

Cleaning and Care
After each use
Never use high pressure cleaners to hose
down the machine.
The machine should be cleaned immediately
after use.
After use do not shut the drum door but
^
leave it slightly ajar, to allow the machine to
dry out.
Cleaning the exterior
Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring
,
pads, steel wool or caustic cleaners on
the washer-extractor. They will
the surface.
Plastic
All plastic surfaces and the control panel
can be cleaned with warm water and liquid
dish soap applied with a soft sponge.
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
damage
Cleaning the dispenser box and
siphon
After use the dispenser compartment should
be cleaned with warm water to remove any
detergent or other residues.
The siphon tube in the detergent dispenser
should also be cleaned.
Pull the siphon tubes upwards to remove
^
for cleaning in warm water. Replace in the
reverse order checking that the siphon
tubes are hooked in correctly.
Cleaning the cooling fan
,
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned us
ing a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for
stainless steel can also be used.
^
Apply sparingly with even pressure.
-
The ventilation slats in the cover for the cool
ing fan at the rear of the machine must be
regularly checked for lint and dirt and
cleaned whenever necessary.
-
30
Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the filters
The filters in the water inlet valves must be
checked periodically for build up and
cleaned if necessary.
Cleaning the drum
The drum is made of non-rusting 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 especially, if the machine is not used
for some time. If this occurs the drum can be
cleaned with a scouring powder.
Maintaining the drum
After about 1000 running hours:
^
Apply Arcanol L 12 V to both grease nip
ples of the drum.

hose (marked 194°F/90°C) lasts for many
years, do not hook the hose up to a hot
water connection supplying water hotter
than 158°F/70°C. This hose should only be
replaced with a genuine Miele spare part.
-
-
Before connecting the inlet hoses to the ma
chine ensure that the filters and seals sup
plied in the accessories pack have been
correctly fitted.
A water pressure flow rate of at least 30 psi
(2 bar), maximum 145 psi (10 bar) is re
quired.
