Foreseeable Misuse - Miele PWM 909 Quick Start Manual


The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.

Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk
of frost. Frozen hoses are at risk of tearing or bursting. The reliability
of the electronic module may be impaired at temperatures below
freezing point.

This washing machine is intended only for use in a commercial en-
vironment.

If the machine is used in a commercial environment it may only be
operated by instructed/trained personnel. If the machine is used in a
publicly accessible area, the supervisor must ensure that it can be
operated safely without risk of danger.

The washing machine must not be used in a non-stationary install-
ation site (e.g. on a ship).

This 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 in a safe way and understand and recognise the con-
sequences of incorrect operation.

Children under the age of 8 must not be allowed near the washing
machine unless they are constantly supervised.

Children over the age of 8 may only use the washing machine
without supervision if its operation has been clearly explained to them
and they are able to use it safely. Children must be able to under-
stand and recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect opera-
tion.

Children may not carry out cleaning or maintenance on the wash-
ing machine unsupervised.

Always supervise any children in the vicinity of the washing ma-
chine. Never allow children to play with the washing machine.

Disinfection programmes must not be interrupted, as this can have
a limiting effect on the disinfection result. It is the operator's respons-
ibility to ensure that the standard of disinfection in thermal as well as
chemo-thermal procedures is maintained by carrying out suitable val-
idation tests.

Foreseeable misuse


Never use solvent-based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine, in this machine. Doing so may result in damage to compon-
ent parts and create toxic steam and fumes. Risk of fire and explo-
sion!

When washing with high temperatures, remember that the porthole
glass becomes hot. Do not let children touch it during the wash pro-
cess.
Danger of burning!
