For machines with a 'porthole'
door, remember that the porthole
glass will be hot when washing at very
high temperatures.
Do not let children touch it during a hot
wash programme.
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. If in
doubt contact the Miele Customer Ser
-
vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such
detergents also pose a fire and
explosion hazard.
Textiles which have been
pre-treated in solvent based
cleaning agents must be thoroughly
rinsed in clean water before being
washed in the machine.
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine.
Always observe the manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
Colour run and dye removers
contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion.
Do not use these products in this
machine.
Always make sure the drum is
stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous.
There is a danger of fire during
drying with fabrics which:
–
contain rubber, foam rubber or
rubber like materials
–
have been treated with inflammable
cleaning agents
–
have been splashed with hair
lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances
–
which contain padding or fillings
(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were
damaged, the filling could get out
with the risk of igniting in the dryer.
Make sure that any dispensing
balls etc. are removed from laundry
before the drying programme. These
dispensers can melt during the drying
programme and cause damage to the
machine and the laundry. Do not use
liquid dispenser balls or similar if you
are planning to wash and then dry in
one continuous sequence.
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee,
performance and product liability
claims will be invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
Disconnect and remove the mains plug
from the socket. Render the plug
useless. Cut off the cable directly
behind the appliance to prevent
misuse.
