Warning and Safety instructions
If this machine is being used in a
commercial environment please
ensure that all relevant health and
safety regulations are obeyed.
This machine may only be used in
mobile installations such as ships if
a risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Correct application
Do not install your machine in
rooms where temperatures below
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may
burst or split. The reliability of the
electronic control unit may be impaired
at temperatures below freezing point.
Before using the machine for the
first time, check that the transit
bars at the rear of the machine have
been removed (see section on
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit
bar which is still in place may result in
damage to both the machine and
adjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if the
machine is to be left for any length
of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there
is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate
vicinity.
Flooding danger.
If hooking the drain hose into a
wash basin, check that the water can
drain off quickly enough to prevent the
sink from overflowing. Make sure the
drain hose is secure, so that the force
of the water flowing out of the hose
does not dislodge it.
Take care to ensure that foreign
objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,
paper clips) do not find their way into
the machine with the laundry. These
may damage components of the
machine (e.g. suds container, drum),
which in turn can 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 the machine
only use proprietary non-corrosive
descaling agents and strictly observe
the instructions on the packaging. A
special descaling agent is available to
order from your Miele Dealer or the
Miele Spare Parts Department.
