Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the machine from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposing of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Energy saving tips
Energy and water consumption
–Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
Detergent
–Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
– Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads.
When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.

This machine complies with current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine,
please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important information on its safety, use and
maintenance.

~Only use the machine to wash items which are specified by the
manufacturer to be machine-washable on the wash-care label, and
textiles composed of hand-washable wool or wool blend fabrics as
well as satin, lace, silk and other hand-washable garments. Any
other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use of
the machine.
~This machine must be used as described in these operating
instructions and must be checked on a regular basis to make sure it
is functioning correctly. Maintenance must be carried out when
necessary.
~This machine is not intended for outdoor use.
Warning and Safety instructions

~This machine can only be used by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if
they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it
in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.
~Children 8 years and older may use the machine unsupervised
only if they have been shown how to do so in a safe way and
recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
~Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the machine
unsupervised.
~Please supervise children in the vicinity of the machine and do
not let them play with it.
~It is the operator's responsiblity to ensure that the standard of
disinfection in thermal as well as chemo thermal procedures is
maintained (in accordance with local authority regulations) by
carrying out suitable validation tests. Disinfection programmes must
not be interrupted, as this can have a limiting effect on the
disinfection result.
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 correctly earthed. It is most important that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele 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 authorised 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.
~The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the
event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.
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 adapter. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger or overheating).
~If this machine is being used in a commercial environment please
ensure that all relevant health and safety regulations are obeyed.
~This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
~Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and "Technical data".
~The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to
disconnect the washing machine from the electricity supply.
~For hard-wired machines, the all-pole isolator provided on-site
must be easily accessible after installation in order to disconnect the
washing machine from the electricity supply.
~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. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the guarantee.
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.
