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 im-
mediate 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, 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), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam func-
tion. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temper-
ature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Stand
back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated.
The maximum load for this washing machine is 10,0 kg (dry
weight). See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended
loads for individual programmes.
If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine
should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale
it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent.
Miele recommends using Miele descaling agent which is available to
order online at www.miele.co.uk or from Miele. Strictly observe the
instructions on the packaging.
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed
in the machine.
