Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from in- correct or improper use or operation. - Page 6 Warning and Safety instructions The washing machine can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the con- sequences of incorrect operation.
- Page 7 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori- ginal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran- tee the safety standards of the machine. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.
- Page 8 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger. The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.
- Page 9 Warning and Safety instructions Correct use Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the elec- tronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
- Page 10 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.
