7 Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

~ Before setting up the machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine. ~ The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the on-site wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock). ~ Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician. If this is not done, any resultant damage will not be covered by the guarantee. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out. ~ Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele. ~ In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or – it is switched off at the isolator switch, or – it is switched off at the mains, or – the mains fuse has been withdrawn, or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).

8 Warning and Safety instructions

~ This machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used. Check the hose regularly for signs of wear. 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. ~ Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead or a multi-socket unit. These do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger or overheating). ~ The appliance may only be operated when the following conditions are met: – the ship’s hull is longer than 28 metres. – the list of the vessel is not more than 2°. – any external vibration is no more than 150 Hz at an amplitude of 0.35 mm. The safe operation and correct functioning of the appliance can only be guaranteed if the above conditions are met.

~ The appliance may not be operated on an open deck. ~ Appliances without the "CSA C/US"- safety certificate are built to comply with european safety regulations. They must not be used in the USA.

9 Warning and Safety instructions

~ A risk assessment of the installation must be carried out by a suitably qualified engineer before this appliance is installed or used. Installation must only be carried out by a suitably qualified engineer. ~ The appliance must be fixed in position when it is installed. Failure to do this could result in personal injury and damage to property. ~ If this machine is being used in a commercial environment please ensure that all relevant health and safety regulations are obeyed. ~ In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times.

10 Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

~ The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 6.5 kg. See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in individual programmes. ~ Do not install your 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 machine for the first time, check that the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see section on "Installation and connection"). 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.

11 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 non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. A special descaling agent is available to order from your Miele Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department. ~ 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, e.g. those containing benzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and explosion hazard. ~ Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not be stored or used near the machine. Fire and explosion risk! ~ Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a 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.

12 Warning and Safety instructions

~ Avoid contact of stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing) with liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine bleach can also be corrosive. Do not store open containers of these agents near the machine. ~ Do not use a high pressure cleaner or hose to clean the machine. ~ It is particularly important to observe the manufacturer's instructions when using a combination of cleaning agents and special application products. Products must only be used for applications approved by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong chemical reactions

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. ~ A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional accessory). ~ If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an optional accessory), please make sure you order the right one for this washing machine.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
