Warning and Safety instructions
Never attempt to force the machine door
open. To ensure the correct functioning of
the door lock safety mechanism the handle is
fitted with a break line.
Faulty components should only be exchan-
ged for Miele original spare parts. Only
when these parts are fitted can the safety
standards of the machine be guaranteed.
The very best materials are used in the
manufacture of this machine, and every
care is taken in its manufacture. However,
with time, deterioration of parts can occur,
especially with rubber components such as
hoses. This should be borne in mind if opera-
ting the machine without supervision. Check
the inlet hoses regularly for signs of deteriora-
tion and replace in good time, to avoid leaks
and subsequent damage.
Safety precautions to take if you smell
gas - applies only to gas-heated washer
exractors.
N.B.: Natural gas usually has no smell of its
own. In the U.K. a smell is added by British
Gas for safety reasons.
If you smell gas you must act immediately.
Extinguish any flames.
Do not create any electrical sparks: e.g.
do not insert or withdraw any electrical
plugs or operate electrical switches such
as lights and door bells.
Do not enter a room holding a torch or
candle etc. if there is a smell of gas in the
room.
Do not light cigarette lighter or matches.
Do not smoke.
Open all windows and doors.
Close any shut-off valves at the gas con-
nection or mains supply immediately.
Shut off the gas-valve next to the machine.

call your local gas supplier immediately.
Important
Before signing off any commissioning, main-
tenance, conversion or repair work as finis-
hed, all gas pipework from the manual isola-
ting valve to the burner nozzles must be
checked for soundness. Pay special attention
to the test points on the multifunction control,
the connection pressure monitor and the bur-
ner setting pressure. The tests must be car-
ried out with the burner switched on and swit-
ched off.
Use of the machine
This washer extractor is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabili-
ties, or lack of experience or knowledge, un-
less they have been given supervision or in-
struction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety.
Never allow children to play in, on or near
the washer extractor, or to operate it them-
selves. Please supervise its use by the elder-
ly or infirm.
Remember that the door porthole glass
can become hot during the operation of
the machine. Do not let children touch it.
When washing with high temperatures hot
steam will come out of the Air gap at the
side of the machine.
Always close the door after use. This way
you will avoid the danger of:
- children climbing onto or into the dryer or
hiding things in it.
- pets or other small animals climbing into it.
Always make sure the drum is stationary
before reaching in to remove washing. Re-
aching into a moving drum is extremely dan-
gerous.
Water used for washing and rinsing must
not be used as drinking water. It must be
discharged into a proper sewerage system.
