Correct use


The maximum load size for PWM 909 is 9.0 kg of dry laundry. See
the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended load sizes for
individual programmes.

Before using the washing machine for the first time, check that the
transit bars have been removed (see "Installation – Removing the
transit bars"). During spinning, transit bars which are still in place may
result in damage to both the washing machine and adjacent furniture
or machines.

Never try to open the drum door of the washing machine using
force. The door can only be opened when a corresponding message
appears in the display.

Do not push the suspended drum unit while the machine is run-
ning.

When closing the door there is a danger of crushing and shearing
between the door frame and the drum opening and also at the
hinges.
Caution: the drum door locks automatically when the machine is star-
ted.

Close the stopcock if the washing machine is to be left for any
length of time (e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor
drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.

Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, pa-
per clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. For-
eign objects may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds
container, drum). Damaged components can damage the laundry.

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the washing ma-
chine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to de-
scale your washing machine, only use proprietary non-corrosive de-
scaling agents. Special descaling agent is available from your Miele
dealer or from the Miele Customer Service Department. Strictly ob-
serve the instructions for the descaler.

Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent-based cleaning
agents must be rinsed in clean water before being washed in the ma-
chine. Note that solvent residues may only be discharged into waste
water in compliance with local legislation.

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!

Do not store or use petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable sub-
stances near the washing machine. Do not use the machine lid as
storage space.
