Correct use


The maximum dry-laundry weight for the PW 912 is 27 lb (12 kg),
for the PWM 916 it is 36 lb (16 kg), and for the PWM 920 it is 45 lb
(20 kg). See the "Program chart" for the maximum recommended
loads for individual programs.

Before using the washing machine for the first time, check that the
shipping struts have been removed (see "Installation – Removing the
shipping struts"). During spinning, a shipping strut which is still in
place may result in damage to both the washing machine and adja-
cent furniture or machines.

Never try to open the drum door of the washing machine using
force. The door can only be opened when a corresponding message
appears in the display.

Do not push back the soft mount drum of the machine while the
machine is running.

When closing the door there is a danger of crushing and shearing
between the door frame and the drum opening and also at the
hinges.
Caution: The drum door locks automatically when the machine is
started.

Turn off the faucet if the machine is to be left for any length of time
(e.g., during vacation), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the
immediate vicinity.

Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g., nails, pins, coins, pa-
per clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.
These may damage components of the machine (e.g., suds container,
drum). Damaged components can damage the laundry.

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the washing ma-
chine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to
descale your washing machine, only use proprietary non-corrosive
descaling agents. Special descaling agent is available from your
Miele dealer or from Miele Customer Service. Strictly observe the in-
structions for the descaler.

Fabrics that have been pre-treated in solvent-based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed
in the machine. Note that solvent residues may only be discharged
into waste water in compliance with local legislation.

Never use solvent-based cleaning agents, e.g., those containing
benzine, in this washing machine. This may result in damage to com-
ponent parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion!

Do not store or use gasoline, paraffin, or any easily flammable sub-
stances near the washing machine. Do not use the machine lid as
storage space.
Risk of fire and explosion!
