Important safety instructions

Textiles that have been pre-treated with solvent-based cleaners must be rinsed thoroughly in water before you wash them.

NEVER use solvent-based cleaners (e.g., benzine) in the washing machine. The use of such products can damage the appliance and generate noxious fumes. Fire hazard and danger of explosion!

NEVER use solvent-based cleaners (e.g., benzine) on or around the washing machine. Splatters can damage the plastic surfaces of the appliance.

Do not use dyes unless they are recommended for use in washing machines. Dyes are to be used in reasonable (household) quantities only. Closely follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Colour removers contain sulphur compounds, which can lead to corrosion. Therefore, do not use colour removers in the washer.

If liquid detergent comes into contact with the eyes, immediately flush with copious amounts of lukewarm water. If accidentally swallowed, imme- diately seek medical attention. Persons with sensitive or damaged skin should avoid contact with liquid detergents.

Only use accessories that are expressly authorized by Miele.

If other parts are used, the appliance warranty and any associated performance and/or product liability claims become null and void.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for damage caused by failure to comply with the safety instructions and warnings.
