Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been 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. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
6
This washing machine complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to
personal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washing
machine. They contain important information on safety,
installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. This prevents
both personal injury and damage to the washing machine.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in
“Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.
When instructing other people how to use the washing machine,
they must be made aware of these Warning and Safety
instructions.
Correct application
 The washing machine is only suitable for washing fabrics with a
care label stating that they are suitable for machine washing. Any
other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or
operation of the machine.
 This washing machine must be used as described in the operating
instructions and must be checked on a regular basis to make sure it
is functioning correctly. Maintenance must be carried out when
necessary.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
 The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.
 This washing machine is intended for commercial use in small

lay persons in public areas such as laundrettes, communal laundry
rooms or similar commercial environment.
 This washing machine is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety.
 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
 Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely.
They must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Cleaning or maintenance on the washing machine may only be
carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.
 Always supervise any children in the vicinity of the washing
machine. Never allow children to play with the washing machine.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
Technical safety
 Before installing and operating the washing machine, check it for
any visible exterior damage. Do not set up or use a damaged
washing machine.
 The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be
guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective
earthing system which complies with current local and national
safety regulations.
It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and
regularly tested and, when there is any doubt, the on-site wiring
system should be inspected 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 the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
must only be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the
warranty.
 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 washing
machine must be isolated from the electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated if:
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
- the mains fuse is disconnected, or
- it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.
For further information see “Installation - Electrical connection”.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
 The washing machine must be connected to the water supply
using the new hose set supplied with the appliance. Old hose sets
should not be re-used. Check the hose regularly for signs of wear.
Replace it in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and water damage.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
 Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not
guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the
risk of overheating).
 The machine must not be installed and operated in mobile
locations (e.g. on a ship).
 Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical
data”.
 If the washing machine is equipped with a mains plug, it must be
easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be
disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.
 If the appliance is hard wired, an on-site dual circuit breaker must
be accessible at all times in order to disconnect the washing
machine from the mains supply. The means of disconnection must
be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring
rules.
 Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine is only
ensured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
 The maximum load is 7.0kg (dry laundry). See the “Programme
chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual
programmes.
 Do not install your washing machine in a room where there is a
risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split, and 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 washing machine have been removed (see
“Installation and connection – Removing the transit bars”). During
spinning, transit bars which are still in place can cause damage to
both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
 Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time
(e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the
immediate vicinity.
 If the ventilation openings are in the base of the washing
machine, ensure that they are not obstructed by deep-pile carpet or
similar.
 Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a laundry
washtub, check that the water can drain away fast enough to
prevent the laundry tub from overflowing. Secure the drain hose
against slipping. The force of the water flowing out of the hose can
dislodge it.
