Warning and safety instructions

This machine must only be con- nected to the on-site water supply

using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used. Check the hose regu- larly for signs of wear and tear. Change in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and subsequent damage.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original

spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.

In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation

by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appli- ance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Use

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However, it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assess- ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Do not install your washing ma- chine in rooms where temperatures

below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure.The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit fit-

ting at the rear of the machine has been removed (see section on "Installation"). During spinning, a transit fitting which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furni- ture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if the ma- chine is to be left for any length of

time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.

Flooding danger

If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing.

Make sure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowing out of the hose does not dislodge it. Other- wise this will result in flooding.

Take care to ensure that foreign ob- jects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the ma- chine with the washing. Foreign objects

may damage components of the ma- chine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the washing.
