Warning and Safety instructions

This washing machine may only be used in mobile installations such as

ships if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Correct use

Do not install your washing machine in rooms where

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

Before using the washing machine for the first time, check that the

transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see section on "Installation"). During spinning, a transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if the machine 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.

Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,

paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however,

you do wish to descale the machine only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. A special descaling agent is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele.co.uk.
