Please read the operating instructions be-
fore using this machine for the first time.
They contain important information about
the safety, use and maintenance of the ma-

and damage to the machine.
Appropriate use of the machine
This washer extractor is only intended for
items of laundry which have not been im-
pregnated with dangerous or inflammable sub-
stances.
Only machine wash articles which
possess a care label stating they are suit-
able for machine washing.
On no account must solvents of the kind
used for dry cleaning be used in this ma-
chine. There may be the danger of fire or ex-
plosion.

Danger of fire or explosion
Technical and electrical safety
The electrical safety of this appliance can
only be guaranteed when continuity is
complete between the appliance and an effec-
tive earthing system which complies with local
and national regulations.
It is most important that this basic safety re-
quirement is regularly tested by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of an inade-
quate earthing system.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety features and controls on the ma-
chine.
Where there is any damage to the ma-
chine or to the cable insulation the ma-
chine must not be used until it has been
repaired.
Any removable outer panels must be in
place, and all moving or electrical parts
shielded before the machine is operated.

The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply either when
switched off at the wall isolator, or the mains
fuse is withdrawn from the socket.
Repairs to machines operating with elec-
tricity, gas or steam should only be under-
taken by a suitably qualified service engineer
to ensure safety. Unauthorized repairs could
be dangerous.
Faulty components should only be ex-
changed for Miele original spare parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can the
safety standards of the machine be guaran-
teed.
The very best materials are used in the
manufacture of this machine, and every
care is taken in its manufacture. However,
with time, deterioration of parts can occur, es-
pecially with rubber components such as
hoses. This should be borne in mind if opera-
ting the machine without supervision. Check
the inlet hoses regularly for signs of deteriora-
tion and replace in good time, to avoid leaks
and subsequent damage.
Local regulations regarding regular inspec-
tion and maintenance of this machine
must be observed. (In Germany this machine
is subject to laundry regulations UVV
(VBG7y), Sections 36 and 37, which stipulate
that washer extractors with a kinetic energy of
more than 1500 Nm must be checked once a
year by a competent person for their oper-
ational safety and the results entered in a test
log (book) supplied with the machine for the
German market, and which must be kept at
the place of operation and be available for in-
spection.)
