Warning and Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions through
before using this machine for the first time.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accidents or 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 that 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.
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 when switched
off at the wall isolator or at the mains switch.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
suitably qualified service engineer to
ensure safety. Unauthorised repairs could
be dangerous.
Never attempt to force the machine door
open. To ensure the correct functioning of
the door lock safety mechanism the handle is
fitted with a break line.
Faulty components should only be
exchanged for original Miele spare parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can the
safety standards of the machine be
guaranteed.
Use of the machine
Remember that the door porthole glass
can become hot during the operation of
the machine.
Never use or store benzine, petrol or pe-
troleum 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
regulations.
It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is regularly tested, and where
there is any doubt the on-site wiring should
be inspected by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing
system.
«M.-Nr. 06 411 840 - GB - » 4
Always make sure the drum is stationary
before reaching in to remove laundry.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
Chlorine or agents containing chlorine are
corrosive, and can under certain
conditions lead to irreperable damage to
components.
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.
If you accidentally spill an agent containing
chlorides on the machine it should be rinsed
off with water and dried using a soft cloth.
To protect your machine from rust dam-
age we recommend the use of chloridefree disinfecting and cleaning agents. If you
are unsure about a particular agent you
should contact the manufacturer for advice.
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 formulation,
storage conditions etc., which may not be publicised by the chemical producer, can have a
negative effect on the cleaning result.
Proprietary dyes, dye removers and de-
scaling 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 usage
instructions on the packaging.
On no account use high pressure
cleaners or hose down the machine.
All personnel working with this machine
must be fully trained in all aspects of its
use and safety.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe
place.
