Additional Information; Using Accessories - Miele W 6071 Operating And Installation Instructions

Additional information

~
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often contain
chlorides (salts) which can cause steel surfaces to
rust. To protect the machine from rust damage, only
use chloride free disinfecting and cleaning agents for
washing/disinfecting and for cleaning the machine. If
you are not sure about an agent contact Miele's
Professional Department. If you accidentally spill an
agent containing chloride on the machine it should be
rinsed off with water and dried with a soft cloth.
~
The manufacturer of the washer does not take
responsibility for the effect of the chemical on the
laundry or the machine when a chemical cleaning
agent is recommended on technical application
grounds. Please be aware that changes in formula-
tion, storage conditions etc., which may not be
published by the chemical producer, can have a
negative effect on the cleaning result.
~
Keep the area around the machine clean and free
of debris.
~
Before the appliance is removed for service or
discarded, remove the door.
~
The interior of the machine should be cleaned
periodically by a qualified service agent.

Using accessories

~
Only use genuine Miele accessories. If other parts
are used, guarantee, performance and product
liability claims may become void.
~
Ensure that any one operating this machine is
familiar with these important safety instructions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Chlorine damage to components
How to handle chlorine bleach and
perchloroethylene (PCE)
Heavy use of chlorine products increases
the risk of damage to appliance
components.
Depending on the chlorine concentration,
the exposure time, and the temperature, the
use of liquid and powdered chlorine-based
bleaches can erode the stainless steel
protective layer and lead to corrosion of the
appliance components. Therefore, it is
recommended that these products not be
used. Instead you can use oxygen-based
bleaches.
If you still need to use chlorine-based
bleaches in special cases, you will need to
perform a neutralizing step each time.
Failure to do so can result in permanent and
irreversible damage to the washing machine
and the laundered items.
Chlorine neutralization
Chlorine neutralization must be done
immediately following the use of a
chlorine-based bleach. For best results, use
hydrogen peroxide or an oxygen-based laundry
soap or bleach, without draining the tub.
If thiosulfate is used (especially with hard
water), lime deposits can form, leading to
residue on the laundered items or a build-up
in the washing machine. The preferable
alternative is to use hydrogen peroxide,
because it helps promote the neutralization
of chlorine.
The exact amounts to be used, and at what
temperature(s), should be selected based
on the recommendations of the neutralizer
manufacturer, then checked for efficacy. The
laundry will need to be tested to ensure that
no active chlorine remains behind after
neutralization.
