Correct usage
This machine is not designed for
washing items which have been treated
with dangerous or flammable substances.
Only use the machine to wash items
which are specified by the manufacturer
to be machine-washable on the wash-care
label.
Any other applications may be dangerous.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage
resulting from improper use or operation.
Dry cleaning agents must not be used in
this machine. Most dry cleaning agents,
e.g. benzine, pose a fire and explosion
hazard.
Petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable
liquid must not be stored or used near
the machine. Do not use the machine lid as
a storage shelf.
Fire and explosion hazard.
Do not store any chemicals on the
machine lid (liquid detergent, fabric

any chemicals should come in contact with
the surface, wipe them away immediately

Technical and electrical safety
The electrical safety of this machine can
only be guaranteed if connected to a
correctly installed earthing system on site. It
is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested regularly,
and where there is any doubt, the on-site
electrical wiring should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the consequences
of an inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety features, fixtures and control
elements of this machine.
Do not use a machine with damaged
controls or cables. These must be
repaired before it is used again.
Any removable outer panels must be
back in place, and all moving or
electrical parts shielded before the machine
is switched on.
The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply either when it
is switched off at the isolator switch or the
mains fuse has been withdrawn.
Repairs to electrical, gas or steam
operated machines may only be carried
out by a suitably qualified person in
accordance with national and local safety
regulations. Repairs to gas heated machines
in the U.K. must only be carried out by a
"Corgi" registered technician.
Do not force the drum door open. The
door handle is fitted with a safety device
to ensure that the door lock functions
correctly.
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted can
the safety standards of the machine be
guaranteed.
