IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Connect the washer, to the water mains. Do not use old hoses.
Check the intake hoses regularly for damage. They should be replaced regularly to prevent water damage.
Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.
If the power cord is damaged it must only be replaced by a Miele
Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord.
Use
This appliance is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.
Do not install this machine 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.
Before using the machine for the first time, check that the shipping struts at the rear of the machine have
been removed (see "Installation"). During spinning, if the shipping struts are still in place damage may result to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the water supply if the machine is to be left for any length
of time (e.g. vacation), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate area.
Overflow hazard! Check that the drain can
accommodate the water flow before operating the washer.
Make certain the drain hose is secured in the drain. Otherwise the force of the expelled water could cause the drain hose to come out of the drain.
Be sure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do
not find their way into the machine. These items may damage the machine, which may also cause damage to the laundry.
