The water in the machine must not
be used as drinking water.
Do not sit or lean on the open door,
or rest objects on it. This could
cause the machine to tip and be
damaged.
Be careful when sorting items with
sharp pointed ends. Position them
in the machine so that you do not hurt
yourself or create a danger for other
operators.
When using this machine at
temperatures between 158 °F and
203 °F (70 °C and 95 °C) be especially
careful not to scald or burn yourself.
Baskets and inserts must first cool
down. Any water which may remain in
containers will be very hot and should
be emptied into the wash cabinet.
At the end of the drying cycle open
the door to allow the wash load
and inserts to cool down.
Do not touch the heating elements
during or directly after the end of a
program. You could burn yourself.
Never use a hose or steam cleaner
on or near the machine.
When disposing of an old machine,
first make it unusable. Disconnect
the power cord and cut off the plug. For
environmental and safety reasons
ensure the machine is completely
drained of any residual water and
cleaning agent. Make the door lock
inoperative, so that children cannot
accidentally shut themselves in.
The following points should be
observed to avoid damage to the
IR 6001 and the loads being cleaned.
Use only cleaning agents
formulated for special processes
and approved by Miele for use with this
machine. Use of unsuitable cleaning
agents could adversely affect the load
or the machine. See the enclosed
pamphlet for recommended
detergents.
When a chemical additive is
recommended, the manufacturer of
the machine takes no responsibility for
the effect of the chemical on the
material of the items being cleaned.
Please be aware of changes in
formulation, storage conditions,
concentrations, etc., which may not be
publicized by the chemical producer,
can have a negative effect on the
cleaning result.
The machine is designed for
operation with water and cleaning
agents only. Organic solvents must not
be used in the machine, as the danger
of explosion exists under certain
circumstances. Although this is not the
case with all organic solvents, other
problems could arise with their use, for
example damage to rubber and
synthetic materials.
