The best materials are used in the
manufacture of this machine, and
every care is taken to check all parts.
However, with time, deterioration of
parts can occur, especially with such
components as hoses, giving rise to
leaks. This should be borne in mind if
operating the machine without supervi-
sion. Check the hose regularly for signs
of wear, and change in good time, to
avoid leaks and subsequent damage.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the ma-
chine be guaranteed.
Use
Do not install your washing ma-
chine in rooms where tempera-
tures below freezing may occur.
Frozen hoses may burst under press-
ure. The reliability of the electronic con-
trol system may be impaired at tem-
peratures below freezing point.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infesta-
tion by cockroaches or other vermin,
pay particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any dam-
age which may be caused by cock-
roaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
Before using the machine for the
first time, check that the transit fit-
ting at the rear of the machine has
been removed (see section on “Installa-
tion”). During spinning, a transit fitting
which is still in place may result in dam-
age to both the machine and adjacent
furniture or appliances.
Turn off the stopcock if the ma-
chine will be left for any length of
time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is
no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vi-
cinity.
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. Other-
wise this will result in flooding.
Take care to ensure that foreign ob-
jects (e.g. nails, needles, coins,
paper clips, etc.) do not find their way
into the machine with the washing (e.g.
in pockets). Foreign objects can dam-
age components of the machine, which
in turn can result in damage to the
washing.
