Important safety instructions
The appliance is not designed for use in
Make no modifications to the washer that are not expressly authorized by Miele.
Proper use
Do not place the washer in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. Frozen hoses can split or burst, and the reliability of the electronics can be reduced below the freezing point.
Before using the washer for the first time, remove the shipping rods on the back of the appliance (see "Installation and connection" under "Removing the transport fittings"). Failure to remove the shipping rods can damage the washer and any surrounding furniture or devices during spinning.
For extended absences (e.g., a vacation), close the taps, especially if there is no gully near the washer.
Danger of flooding!
Before hanging the drain hose in the washbasin, make sure the water will drain away quickly enough.
Secure the hose from slipping. The force of the water exiting the hose can cause an unsecured hose to pop out of the basin.
Ensure that no foreign bodies (e.g., nails, needles, coins, paper clips) are in the wash. Foreign bodies can damage the appliance components (e.g., suds container, washer drum). Damaged components, in turn, can damage laundry items.
Proper dosing of the detergent will eliminate the need to remove lime deposits. However, if heavy limescale nonetheless forms on your washer, be sure to select a special descaling agent with corrosion protection. This special product can be obtained from your Miele dealer or from Miele Customer Service. Closely follow the instructions on the product package.
