Warning and Safety instructions
The machine should only be operated un-
supervised when there is a floor drain
(gully) in the direct vicinity of the machine.
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often
have compounds containing chlorides in
them. If these agents dry on to stainless steel
surfaces, the residual chlorides will attack the
steel and can cause rusting. To protect your
machine from rust damage, we recommend
only using chloride free disinfecting and clea-
ning agents for washing and disinfecting pro-
grammes and for cleaning stainless steel sur-
faces of the machine itself. If you are not sure
about a particular agent, contact the manu-
facturer of that agent for advice. If you acci-
dentally spill an agent containing chlorides on
the machine it should be rinsed off with water
and dried using a soft cloth.
Proprietary dyes, dye removers and de-
scaling agents may only be used in this
machine if the manufacturer expressly states
that they are suitable for use in a washing
machine. There may be the danger of fire or
explosion.
Always follow the instructions of the che-
mical manufacturer when using cleaning
agents and special application chemicals.
Only use such chemicals for the purpose and
in the situation specified by the manufacturer
in order to avoid the danger of adverse chemi-
cal reactions and material damage. If in doubt
check the suitability of the product for use in
this machine with the manufacturer before
using it.
Where a chemical cleaning agent is re-
commended on technical application gro-
unds, this does not imply that the manufactu-
rer of the machine takes responsibility for the
effect of the chemical on the material of the
items being cleaned or on the machine. Plea-
se be aware that changes in formulation,
storage conditions etc., which may not be
publicised by the chemical producer, can
have a negative effect on the cleaning result.
Laundry that was soiled with biological
oils or fat should be washed using a suita-
ble detergent and/or wash programme. It
must also be inspected after washing. If oils
or fat are not sufficiently removed they could
cause the laundry to self ignite during the
drying process.

On no account use high pressure clea-
ners or hose down the machine.
Use of accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when
expressly approved by Miele. If other
parts are used, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may be invalidated.
Chlorine and component damage
Notes on using chlorine bleach and
perchlorethylene
Frequent use of chlorine increases the
risk of component damage.
The use of agents containing chlorine, such
as sodium hypochlorite and chlorine bleach in
powder form, can damage the protective sur-
face of stainless steel and cause corrosion.
Factors affecting this are chlorine concentrati-
on levels, contact time and temperature. It is
therefore advisable to avoid the use of such
agents. Oxygen based bleaching agents
should be used instead.
If, however, chlorine based bleaching agents
have to be used for particular types of soiling,
then anti-chlorine measures must also be car-
ried out. If this is not done irreparable dama-
ge can occur to components in the machine
and to laundry.
