Warning and safety instructions

Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin,
check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink
from overflowing. Hook the hose over the edge and secure. If the
hose is unsecured, the force of the water flowing out of it can dis-
lodge it from the basin.

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.
These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds con-
tainer, 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 special non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly ob-
serve the instructions on the packaging. Special descaling agent is
available from your Miele dealer or from Miele Service. Strictly ob-
serve the instructions for the descaling agent.

For textiles that have been treated with solvent-based detergents,
always check whether they can be washed in a washing machine. To
check whether this is possible, refer to safety notes, information con-
cerning the product's environmental properties, and other informa-
tion.

Never use solvent based detergents, e.g. those containing ben-
zine, in this machine. Doing so may result in damage to component
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. Risk of fire and explosion
