WARNING
Read all instructions before installation or
use to prevent injury and machine dam-
age.
This washer-extractor is only intended for
laundry not impregnated with dangerous
or flammable substances.
Dry cleaning solvents must not be used
in this machine. Such solvents could
cause a fire or explosion.
This appliance conforms to all uniform
safety codes and regulations. The manu-
facturer cannot be held responsible for
damage or injury caused by improper use
of this appliance.
All personnel working with this machine
must be fully trained in its use and safety.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND RE-
VIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
Electrical Safety
Installation, repair and maintenance
work should be by a Miele authorized
service technician. Work by unqualified per-
sons could be dangerous.
Before installation make sure that the
voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the site electrical
supply. This data must correspond to pre-
vent injury and machine damage. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
Be certain your appliance is properly in-
stalled and grounded by a qualified
technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this ap-
pliance, continuity must exist between the
appliance and an effective grounding sys-
tem. It is imperative that this basic safety re-
quirement be met. If there is any doubt, have
the electrical system of the house checked
by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damages
caused by the lack, or inadequacy of, an ef-
fective grounding system.
The appliance is only completely iso-
lated from the electrical supply when
the fuse is withdrawn, the circuit breaker has
been tripped, or the unit has been un-
plugged.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety features and controls of the ma-
chine.
If there is any damage to the machine
or to the cable insulation, the machine
must not be used until it has been repaired.
Any removable outer panels must be in
place, and all moving or electrical parts
shielded before the machine is operated.
Use
Never use or store gasoline or gasoline
based substances or any easily flam-
mable substances near the machine. Do not
use the machine lid as a storage area.
Danger of fire or explosion.
Only machine wash articles with a care
label stating they are suitable for ma-
chine washing.
Never attempt to force open the door of
the washer extractor. As a safety feature
the door handle has been designed with a
break line.
Never allow children to play in, on or
near the washer extractor, or to operate
it themselves. Please supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm.
The door porthole glass can become
hot during use of the machine. Do not
allow children to touch the glass.
Always make sure the drum is station-
ary before reaching in to remove laun-
dry. Reaching into a moving drum is ex-
tremely dangerous.
Waste water from washing and rinsing
must not be used as drinking water. It
must be discharged into a proper sewage
system.
The machine should only be operated
unsupervised if there is a floor drain
(gully) in the direct vicinity of the machine.
Warning and Safety Instructions
3

Only use genuine Miele accessories. If
unapproved parts are used, guarantee,
performance and product liability claims
may become void.
Chlorine or agents containing chlorine
are corrosive, and can under certain
conditions lead to permanent damage to
components.
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often
contain chloride (salts). If these sub-
stances dry on steel surfaces the residual
chlorides can attack the steel and cause
rusting.
To protect your machine from rust damage,
only use chloride free disinfecting and
cleaning agents for washing and disinfect-
ing, and for cleaning the machine. If you ac-
cidentally spill an agent containing chloride
on the machine it should be rinsed off with
water and dried using a soft cloth.
Always follow the instructions of the
chemical manufacturer when using
cleaning agents and special application
chemicals. Only use such chemicals for the
purpose and in the situation specified by the
manufacturer in order to avoid the danger of
adverse chemical reactions and material
damage. If in doubt check the suitability of
the product for use in this machine with the
manufacturer before using it.
Where a chemical cleaning agent is
recommended on technical application
grounds, this does not imply that the manu-
facturer of the machine takes responsibility
for the effect of the chemical on the material
of the items being cleaned or on the ma-
chine. Please be aware that changes in for-
mulation, storage conditions etc., which may
not be published by the chemical producer,
can have a negative effect on the cleaning
result.
Dyes, dye removers and descaling
agents may only be used in this ma-
chine if the manufacturer expressly states
that they are suitable for use in a washing
machine. There may be the danger of fire or
explosion.
Do not use high pressure cleaners to
hose down the machine.
Maintenance
Faulty components should only be re-
placed with genuine Miele spare parts.
The safety standards of the machine can
only be guaranteed when Miele spare parts
are used.
Over time deterioration of parts can oc-
cur, especially rubber components
such as hoses. Check the inlet hoses regu-
larly for signs of deterioration or leaks, to
prevent water or machine damage.
Local regulations regarding regular in-
spection and maintenance of this ma-
chine must be observed.

Rinsing with hot water
Standard programs
1Cottons 200 °F (95°C) and
2Cottons 140 °F (60°C)
are programmed to rinse with hot water.
If a hot water supply is available it is an ad-
vantage to run the final rinse with hot water.
This reduces the residual moisture content of
the laundry after spinning.
If the laundry is dried or ironed immediately
after washing, drying times will be shortened
and ironing easier.
