Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a laundry

washtub, check that the water can drain away fast enough to prevent
the laundry tub 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!
Only use dyes suitable for use in a washing machine. Always

observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Dye removers contain sulphur compounds which can cause

damage such as corrosion. Dye removers must not be used in the
washing machine.
Avoid contact between stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing)

and liquid detergents or disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or
sodium hypochlorite. These agents can cause corrosion on stainless
steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive.
Do not store open containers of these agents near the machine.
 Do not use a high-pressure cleaner or water jet to clean the
washing machine.
