Warning and Safety instructions This washing machine complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. It is essential to read the operating instructions before using the washing machine for the first time. They contain important information on the safety, use and maintenance of the washing machine.
Page 11
Warning and Safety instructions Always supervise any children in the vicinity of the washing machine. Never allow children to play with the washing machine. Disinfection programmes must not be interrupted, as this can have a limiting effect on the disinfection result.
Page 12
Warning and Safety instructions Preventing problems Do not use chemical cleaning agents such as those used for dry cleaning in this machine. There is a risk of fire or explosion with most cleaning agents, e.g. benzine. When washing with high temperatures, remember that the porthole glass becomes hot. Therefore, prevent children from touching the porthole glass during the wash process.
Page 13
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele. The washing machine must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any maintenance, cleaning or repair work is carried out.
Page 14
Warning and Safety instructions If the washing machine is hard wired, provision must be made on site to switch off all poles from the electricity supply. The disconnection switch must be located in the immediate area around the washing machine, and must always be visible, accessible and easily reachable.

These agents can cause corrosion on stainless steel. Aggressive chlorine bleach vapour can also cause corrosion. Do not store open containers of these agents near the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions Chlorine and component damage Frequent use of chlorine products increases the risk of damage to components. Notes on using chlorine bleach and perchloroethylene (PCE) The use of substances containing chlorine, such as sodium hypochlorite and chlorine bleach in powder form, can result in damage to the protective layer of stainless steel and corrosion on componentry, depending on the chlorine concentration, the exposure time and the temperature.
