Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
~
Do not install your machine in rooms where temperatures below
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability
of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below
freezing point.
~
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
immediate vicinity.
~
Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit
bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see section on
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit bar which is still in place
may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or
appliances.
~
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,
paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.
Shake out wash cloths before placing them in the machine to ensure
that any coarse or harmful residues are removed. These may
damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum),
which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
~
If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine
should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale
the machine only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents
and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. A special
descaling agent is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts
Department. Follow the usage instructions on the packaging
carefully.
