Warning and Safety instructions

If the ventilation openings are in the base of the washing
machine, ensure that they are not obstructed by deep-pile carpet or
similar.

Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin,
check that the water can drain away fast enough to prevent the sink
from overflowing. Secure the drain hose against slipping. The force
of the water flowing out of the hose can dislodge it.

Make sure that no foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper
clips) find their way into the machine with the laundry. Foreign
objects can damage components of the machine (e.g. suds
container, drum). Damaged components can, in turn, 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
it, only use special non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly
observe the instructions on the packaging. Special descaling agent
is available from your Miele dealer or from Miele. Strictly observe the
instructions for the packaging.

For textiles that have been treated with solvent-based cleaning
agents, always check whether they can be washed in a washing
machine. To check whether this is possible, refer to safety notes,
information concerning the product's environmental compatibility,
and other information.

Never use solvent-based detergents, e.g. those containing
benzine, in this washing machine. This may result in damage to
component parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion!

Gasoline, petroleum, kerosene, paraffin, or any easily flammable
liquid must not be stored or used near the washing machine. Risk of
fire and explosion!
