Table Of Contents
A damaged machine is a safety
hazard. Switch off at the mains
immediately and call the Miele Service
Department or an authorised and
trained Miele Service Dealer.
Personnel operating the machine
should be trained regularly.
Untrained personnel must not be
allowed access to the machine or its
controls.
This machine is not a toy! To avoid the
risk of injury never allow children to play
on or near the machine, or to operate it.
Take care when handling
chemicals such as cleaning agent,
neutralising agent, rinsing agent etc.
These may contain irritant or corrosive
ingredients. Do not use organic
solvents as these could cause an
explosion.
Follow all relevant safety procedures
carefully. Wear protective gloves and
goggles. With all chemical agents, the
manufacturer’s safety instructions must
be observed.
The water in the machine must not
be used as drinking water.
Be careful when sorting items with
sharp pointed ends and
positioning them in the machine that
you do not hurt yourself or create a
danger for others. Sharp knives etc.
should be placed in baskets with the
pointed ends facing downwards.
When using this machine in the
higher temperature ranges be
especially careful not to scald or burn
yourself or come into contact with
irritant substances when opening the
door. Where disinfecting agents are
used there is a danger of inhaling toxic
fumes. Baskets, inserts and utensils
must be allowed to cool down before
they are unloaded. Any water remaining
in containers could still be very hot.
Empty them into the wash cabinet
before taking them out.
After using the hot air drying unit
open the door to allow everything
in the cabinet from the load itself to the
mobile units, modules and inserts to
cool down.
Do not touch the heating elements
(under the wide area filter) during
or directly after the end of a
programme. You could burn yourself.
The elements remain hot for some time
after the end of the programme.
If the boiler has been programmed
to "BOILER READY", be particularly
careful of hot water and steam when
opening the door. Danger of burning or
scalding. The inlet to the wash cabinet
is located, as viewed from the unclean
side, underneath the basket runner on
the left hand side.
Steam heating is permissible up to
a pressure of 1000 kPa (10 bar).
This corresponds to a water steam
temperature of 179 °C.
Never clean the machine or near
vicinity with a water hose or a high
pressure hose.
