Correct use


The maximum dry load size for the PW 912 is 12 kg, for the
PWM 916 it is 16 kg and for the PWM 920 it is 20 kg. The maximum
recommended load sizes for individual programmes are given in the
"Programme chart".

Before using the washing machine for the first time, check that the
transport safety devices have been removed (see "Installation – Re-
moving the Transport safety devices"). During spinning, transport
safety devices which are still in place may result in damage to both
the washing machine and adjacent furniture or machines.

Never try to open the drum door of the washing machine using
force. The door can only be opened when a corresponding message
appears in the display.

Do not push the suspended drum unit while the machine is run-
ning.

When closing the door there is a danger of crushing and shearing
between the door frame and the drum opening and also at the
hinges.
Caution: the drum door locks automatically when the machine is star-
ted.

Close the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of
time (e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully)
in the immediate vicinity.

Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, pa-
per clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. For-
eign objects may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds
container, drum). Damaged components can damage the laundry.

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine
should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale
it, only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly
observe the instructions on the packaging. Special descaling agent is
available from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions for the descal-
ing agent.

Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent-based cleaning
agents must be rinsed in clean water before being washed in the ma-
chine. Note that solvent residues may only be discharged into waste
water in compliance with local legislation.

Never use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine in this machine. Doing so may result in damage to compon-
ent parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion!

Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not be
stored or used near the machine. Do not use the machine lid as stor-
age space.
Risk of fire and explosion!
