Warning and safety instructions
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
Textiles which have been pre- treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.
Never use solvent based cleaning agents in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such detergents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in this machine.
Always make sure the drum is stationary before reaching in to
remove washing. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.
Safety with children
This machine is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow
children to play on or near it or to play with the controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm, and supervise children whilst you are operating the machine.
For machines with a ‘porthole’ door, remember that the porthole
glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Do not let children touch it.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine, switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut
off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
