way you will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the machine.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.
Only use the washing machine to
wash items which are specified by
the manufacturer to be machine-wash-
able on the wash-care label, and tex-
tiles composed of hand-washable wool
or wool blend fabrics as well as satin,
lace, silk and other hand-washable gar-
ments. Any other applications may be
dangerous. The manufacturer is not lia-
ble for damage resulting from improper
use or operation.
This appliance should not be oper-
ated by children. Supervise its use
by the elderly or infirm.
Young children should be super-
vised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install and use a dam-
aged machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-
6
quency) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-
fied electrician.
Caution:
if the appliance is supplied from a
cord extension set or electrical portable
outlet device the cord extension set or
electrical portable outlet device should
be positioned so it is not subject to
splashing or ingress of moisture.
The electrical safety of this appli-
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ma-
chine and an effective earthing system
which complies with local and national
regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is regularly
tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.
For safety reasons do not operate
this appliance on an extension ca-
ble. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance.
Danger of overheating.
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in un-
foreseen dangers for the user, for which
the manufacturer cannot accept re-
sponsibility. Repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele approved engi-
neer.
The machine is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
