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.

Never use or store benzine, 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

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.

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.

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.

«M.-Nr. 06 411 840 - GB - »

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 damage 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 clean-

ing 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 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 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 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.
