M.-Nr. 05 730 941 3
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 have
a care label stating they are suitable for
machine washing.
Temperatures, holding times, suds ratio
and disinfecting agents must meet the requirement of national Health and Safety guidelines for disinfecting procedures and the
required levels of microbiological hygiene for
infection prophylaxis.
If items being processed have to meet par-
ticular quality standards, e.g. particulate
free rinse results, the procedure must be validated and the user must make regular quality
checks to ensure appropriate standards are
being maintained.
On no account must solvents of the kind
used for dry cleaning be used in this machine. 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 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
responsible 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 ma-
chine 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fuse is withdrawn from the socket.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 to machines operating with elec-
tricity 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 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. This should be borne in mind if operating the machine without supervision. Check
the inlet hoses regularly for signs of deterioration and replace in good time, to avoid leaks
and subsequent damage.
Local regulations regarding regular inspec-
tion and maintenance of this machine
must be observed.

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 .
Always make sure the drum is stationary
before reaching in to remove washing.
Reaching into a moving drum is extremely
dangerous.
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.
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 un-
supervised when there is a floor drain
(gully) in the direct vicinity of the machine.
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.
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 the manufacturer’s instructions
on using them.
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.
On no account use high pressure
cleaners or hose down 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 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.
M.-Nr. 05 730 941 5
Warning and Safety instructions
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
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.
Disposal of old machines
When disposing of an old machine, dis-
connect it from all services and 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.
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.
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.
6 M.-Nr. 05 730 941
Caring for the environment
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.
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. See the "Warning and Safety" section
of this booklet for further details.

checked on a regular basis to ensure that it is
working correctly.
First bring down the half with the safety
lock and then bring down the other half
making sure the locking mechanism visibly engages and is secure.
When closing the drum make sure laundry
does not get trapped between the two sections.
Pull the machine door downwards and
with both hands use even pressure to lock
the door. Do not slam the door down to
shut it.
Do not pull the door towards you when
closing it as this can prevent it from engaging in the locking mechanism and prevent
the door from closing. If this does happen
you will need to contact the Customer Service Dept.
If having closed the door you want to open it
again, e.g. to add another item of laundry,
you can do so within 20 seconds of closing it
as it takes this long before the lock is activated.
To ensure that the drum door is correctly
closed. the arrow on the safety lock must
be completely visible.
If these procedures are not followed there
is a danger of the drum door opening and
causing considerable damage.

- Liquid detergent to compartment 5
Liquid detergent must not be filled higher
than the level marker, as otherwise it will get
through the siphon and into the detergent dispenser drawer before it is needed.
Detergent dispensing
Avoid dispensing more than the required
amount as this can cause excessive foaming.
Only use low lather detergents.
Dispense according to the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations.
The amount to dispense will depend on:
– the amount of laundry
– the water hardness level in your area
– the type and amount of soiling
Bleaching agents
Only use bleaching agents on textiles which
have the symbol y on the wash care label.
Liquid bleaching agents must only be dispensed through designated dispenser compartment (4). The agent will then be
dispensed automatically during the 2nd rinse
(cold bleaching). Liquid bleaching agents
should only be used on coloured textiles
which have a wash care label stating that
they are colour fast and suitable for bleaching.
For cold bleaching the 4th rinse must be
programmed into the machine (see the
Profitronic programming manual for further
details on how to do this).

Notes
Locked programmes (Disinfecting programmes)
If a disinfection programme is interrupted
or if there is a fault during the disinfecting
phase (wash time 2), the whole programme must be repeated to ensure that
disinfection is achieved.
Turn the key switch to position D "Unlocking".
At this operating level barred programmes
can be unlocked.
Press the End 7 button.
Turn the key switch to position B "Operation".
The programme can now be repeated.
Locating the drum door to the "Clean side"
The DOOR LOCATING programme rotates
the drum opening to the “Clean side”. Unfinished laundry can be transported from the
“Clean side” to the “Unclean side”.
The DOOR LOCATING programme can also
be used to transport laundry in the drum to
the “Clean side”. It is the user’s responsibility
to ensure that the laundry is hygienically
clean before it is removed from the machine.
Rinsing with hot water
Rinsing with hot water is a benefit for machines connected to a hot water supply.
Standard programmes
1 Cottons 95°C and
2 Cottons 60°C
are programmed to rinse with hot water.
If a hot water supply is available it is an advantage to run the final rinse with hot water.
This reduces the residual moisture content of
the laundry after spinning and the laundry retains heat.
If the laundry is then tumble dried or ironed
straight after the wash programme savings
will be made in the time it takes to process it
and in the amount of energy required.
Connecting a printer
Printer - operation:
A report of a whole programme or a section of
a programme can be printed. See the programming instructions supplied with the
machine.
To print a wash report the machine will have
to be reprogrammed by a Miele Service technician.
To operate a printer with a parallel interface
an interface adapter is needed between the
serial interface and the parallel interface.

Cleaning and Care
The machine should be cleaned, wherever
possible, immediately after use.
On no account use high pressure cleaners or
hose down the machine.
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!
The casing, control panel and any plastic
parts such as buttons and control switches
should be cleaned with a suitable mild cleaning agent or with a damp cloth and then
wiped dry. A proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent can be used on stainless steel parts
of the casing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as
these will scratch the surface.
If you are unsure about a particular product or
need further advice please contact your nearest Miele Sales office. See back page for address.
Do not cover or block the overflow from the
machine.
Dispenser compartments and siphons
After use these should be cleaned with warm
water to remove any detergent or other
residues. The siphon tubes in the dispenser
compartments should also be cleaned.
Pull the siphon tube out and clean with hot
water before replacing.
Check the drum door regularly for a build
up of fluff and clean as necessary. Check
the door locking mechanism regularly to
ensure it is working correctly.
Cleaning the cooling fan grille
The ventilation slits in the grille cover for the
cooling fan at the side of the machine must
never be covered over or blocked. They
should be checked regularly for a build up of
fluff and cleaned as necessary.
The filters in the water inlet valves must be
checked from time to time for soiling and
cleaned if necessary.

Cleaning and Care
Greasing
After about 1000 running hours apply Arcanol L 100 to both grease nipples of the drum.
When not in use for a longer period of
time:
If the machine is not going to be used for a
longer period of time (4 weeks or more) the
drum bearings should be lubricated and the
drum rotated several times after the last use.
The drum should be rotated every 4 weeks to
prevent damage to the bearings.
