Warning and Safety Instructions
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not be published by the chemical producer,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.

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.
