Warning and Safety Instructions

Please read the operating instructions be-
fore using this machine for the first time.
They contain important information about
the safety, use and maintenance of the
machine. This will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the machine.
Appropriate use of the machine
This washer extractor is only intended for
items of laundry which have not been im-
pregnated with dangerous or inflammable
substances.
Only machine wash articles which pos-
sess a care label stating they are suit-
able for machine washing.
It is the operator's responsibility to en-
sure that the standard of disinfection in
thermal as well as chemo thermal proce-
dures is maintained (in accordance with §
18 IFSG) by carrying out suitable validation
tests. These procedures should be checked
on a regular basis, either thermo-electrically
using loggers, or bacteriologically with bio
indicators. The operator must pay particular
attention to maintaining the correct parame-
ters in the procedure, including temperature
and with chemo thermal programmes the
chemical concentration used. Disinfection
programmes must not be interrupted, as this
can have a limiting effect on the disinfection
result.
On no account must solvents of the kind
used for dry cleaning be used in this ma-
chine. There may be the danger of fire or ex-
plosion.
Never use or store petrol or petroleum
based substances or any easily inflam-
mable substances near the machine. Do not
use the machine lid as a resting place.
Danger of fire or explosion

Technical and electrical safety
The electrical safety of this appliance
can only be guaranteed when continuity
is complete between the appliance and an
effective earthing system which complies
with local and national regulations.
It is most important that this basic safety re-
quirement is regularly tested by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of an in-
adequate earthing system.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety features and controls on the ma-
chine.
Where there is any damage to the ma-
chine or to the cable insulation the ma-
chine must not be used until it has been re-
paired.
Any removable outer panels must be in
place, and all moving or electrical parts
shielded before the machine is operated.
The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply either when
switched off at the wall isolator, or the mains
fuse is withdrawn from the socket.
Repairs to machines operating with elec-
tricity, gas or steam should only be un-
dertaken by a suitably qualified service en-
gineer to ensure safety. Unauthorized repairs
could be dangerous.
Faulty components should only be ex-
changed for Miele original spare parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can the
safety standards of the machine be guaran-
teed.
The very best materials are used in the
manufacture of this machine, and every
care is taken in its manufacture. However,
with time, deterioration of parts can occur,
especially with rubber components such as
hoses. This should be borne in mind if oper-
ating the machine without supervision.
Check the inlet hoses regularly for signs of
deterioration and replace in good time, to
avoid leaks and subsequent damage.
