Warning and Safety instructions
14

A damaged or leaking machine can pose a threat to your safety.
Always switch off a damaged or leaking machine immediately and
call the Miele Customer Service Department.

Label cleaning machines which have been taken out of operation
and secure them against being switched on again without
authorisation. The cleaning machine may only be put back into
operation once it has been successfully repaired by the Miele
Customer Service Department or by an appropriately qualified
specialist.

Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly.
Untrained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or
its controls.

Only use process chemicals which have been approved by their
manufacturer for the relevant application. The manufacturer of the
process chemicals is liable for any negative influences on the material
of the load and the machine.

Take care when handling chemical agents. These may contain
irritant, corrosive or toxic ingredients.
Please observe the chemical agent manufacturer's safety instructions
and safety data sheets.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.

The machine is designed for operation with water and
recommended additive chemical agents only. Organic solvents and
flammable liquid agents must not be used in it.
This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components
in the machine and cause liquids to leak out of it.

Take care not to inhale powder agents. Chemical agents can cause
chemical burns in the mouth and throat or lead to asphyxiation.

The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water.

Do not lift the machine by protruding parts such as the control
panel or the opened service flap as these could be damaged or torn
off.

Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
machine to tip up and be damaged or cause an injury.

Be careful when sorting items with pointed ends. Position them in
the machine so that you will not hurt yourself or create a danger for
others.

Broken glass can result in serious injury when loading or
unloading. Broken glass items must not be processed in the machine.

When operating the washer-disinfector, bear in mind the possibility
of high temperatures. If the door is opened bypassing the safety lock,
there is a danger of burning, scalding and chemical burns.
