4 M.-Nr. 06 533 412
The best materials are used in the manufacture of this machine, and every care is taken to check all parts. However, with time, deterioration of parts can occur, especially with such components as hoses, giving rise to leaks. Check the inlet hoses regularly for signs of wear and tear. Change in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and subsequent damage.
Gas-heated washer-extractors
Safety precautions to take if you smell gas
– Turn off the gas emergency control valve immediately. (Usually located near the gas meter).
– Eliminate all sources of ignition in a safe manner. Do not smoke, light cigarette lighters or matches.
– Do not operate electrical lights or switches, either "On" or "Off".
– Open all doors and windows to ventilate the area.
– If the smell of gas persists, evacuate the building.
You must now:
– In the U.K. call TRANSCO (0 800 111 999)
– Arrange for an appointment of a Corgi registered gas installer to visit the site
(Talking pages 0 800 600 900)
In other countries please follow relevant country specific procedures.
Warning: After installation, maintenance, conversion, repairs and before using for the first time it is essential that a test for possible leakages is carried out. All components which carry gas must be checked, including the gas valve and burner jets.
In the U.K. this must be carried out by a
Corgi registered technician.
Particular attention must be paid to the test nipple on the gas valve.
Testing must be carried out with the burner switched on and switched off.
Warning and Safety instructions
Using the washer-extractor
This washer extractor is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety.
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 themselves.
Remember that the porthole glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Do not let children touch it.
Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching into the machine to remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.
The water used for washing is a suds solution and is not drinking water .
The suds solution must be drained away via an appropriate drainage system.
The washer-extractor may only be operated without supervision if there is a floor drain (gully) in the immediate vacinity.
It is the operator's responsiblity to ensure that the standard of disinfection in thermal as well as chemo thermal procedures is maintained (in accordance with § 18 IFSG) by carrying out suitable validation tests. These procedures should be checked on a regular basis, either thermo-electrically using loggers, or bacteriologically with bio indicators. The operator must pay particular attention to maintaining the correct parameters in the procedure, including temperature and with chemo thermal programmes, the chemical concentration used. Disinfection programmes must not be interrupted, as this can have a limiting effect on the disinfection result.
M.-Nr. 06 533 412 5
Warning and Safety instructions
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions given on the packaging, particularly when using a combination of cleaning agents and special application products. Only use the product for the application described by the manufacturer, to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong chemical reactions.
Confirm with the detergent manufacturer that their product can be used in combination with another type of product.
Only use dyes, colour run and dye removers specified as being suitable for use in washing machines. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Laundry that was soiled with biological oils or fat should be washed using a suitable 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.
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or hose to clean the machine.
Further notes
Cleaning and disinfecting agents often contain chlorine based substances. Do not let such agents come into contact with the stainless steel surfaces, as the chlorine can have a corrosive effect. Use chlorine-free agents for washing and disinfecting and also for cleaning stainless steel surfaces to protect them from corrosion.
If in doubt, confirm with the manufacturer that their product is suitable. If any agent containing chlorine comes into contact with the stainless steel surfaces, wipe it away immediately with clean water. Then dry with a soft cloth.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the effect of a chemical cleaning agent on laundry or the machine, even when the use of such agents is recommended.
Please note that changes to the product which have not been made known by the manufacturer can affect the quality of the wash result.
Using 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.
Any additional components used, e.g.
suction devices for liquid agents, electronic water meters or dispenser monitors, must conform to Safety Class II.
If connected to an external PC, this must conform to
EN 60950-1:2001 (IEC 60950-1:2001).
6 M.-Nr. 06 533 412
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 surface of stainless steel and cause corrosion. Factors affecting this are chlorine concentration 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 carried out. If this is not done irreparable damage can occur to components in the machine and to laundry.
Anti-chlorine treatment
Anti-chlorine treatment has to be carried out immediately after chlorine bleach has been used. Hydrogen peroxide and oxygen based cleaning and bleaching agents must only be used in programmes specified for their use.
Any wash performance problems should be discussed with the manufacturer of the cleaning / bleaching product in the first instance.
With thiosulfate, especially when used with hard water, gypsum can form, which can lead to incrustations on laundry or deposits in the machine.
The exact quantity of additives and the treatment temperatures required must be set and tested on site in accordance with the dosage recommendations of the detergent and additive manufacturers. The laundry must also be tested to make sure it contains no active chlorine residues after processing.
Warning and Safety instructions
Disposal of your old machine
Before disposing of an old machine, first make the door lock unusable. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
All personnel working with this machine must be fully trained in all aspects of its use and safety.

Bleaching agents
Only use bleaching agents on textiles with the x symbol on the wash care label.
?
Liquid bleaching agents may only be placed in the compartment designated for them.
This is to ensure that the agent is added automatically at the second rinse. Liquid bleaching agents should only be used with coloureds if the textile manufacturer's wash care label states that the textile is colour fast and suitable for bleaching.
A 3rd rinse cycle must be programmed in if bleach is to be used (see Profitronic programming manual).
,
Frequent use of chlorine increases the risk of component damage.
Only use dyes, colour run, dye removers and descaling agents which are specified as being suitable for use in washing machines. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
How to wash correctly
Detergent dispensing
It is important to avoid adding too much detergent as this causes excessive foam.
– Do not use detergents which create a lot of foam.
– Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions for use.
The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:
– The amount of laundry
– The water hardness level
– The soiling level of the laundry
The amount to dispense
Take the water hardness into account and follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.
Gas heated machines
On gas heated machines the suds solution is pumped around the heater elements. This additional agitation of the suds solution creates foam. It is therefore important to use a low-foaming detergent and not to use too much detergent.
If over-foaming occurs use a reduced foam detergent or call in a detergent application specialist.

^ Press firmly against the door handle until you clearly hear the safety mechanism engage.
You will now be able to open and close the door again (as long as there is no water in the machine).
^ Open the drain valve by partially opening the venting screw (spanner size 17 mm) at the rear of the machine. Do not unscrew it completely. Drain off the suds. Take care as some water will seep out of the screw opening (approx. 100 mm). This should be collected in a suitable container.
32 M.-Nr. 06 533 412
^ Tighten up the venting screw again and check that there is no leak.
^ First position the screwdriver in the opening, then push it in and hold it securely.
Press against the door handle with your right hand, and then pull on the door handle to open the door.
Never use force to open the door!
^ Remove the laundry
Possible reasons for increased levels of foaming
– Detergent type
^ Only use detergents formulated for commercial washer-extractors. Domestic laundry detergents are not suitable.
– Using too much detergent
^ Follow the manufacturer's dosage recommendations on the packaging and take local water hardness levels into account.
– Heavy foaming detergent
^ Use a low foaming detergent or contact your detergent supplier for advice.
Problem solving guide
– Very soft water
^ In areas with very soft water (hardness level 1) dispense less detergent as specified by the detergent manufacturer.
– Soiling level of the laundry
^ For lightly soiled laundry dispense less detergent in accordance with the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
– Residues e.g. detergent on the laundry
^ Run a pre-wash without detergent and without selecting a temperature.
Laundry which has been soaked before washing must be thoroughly rinsed before running a wash programme.
– Small loads
^ Reduce the amount of detergent dispensed according to the size of the load.
– Drum speed too high during the wash
(Profitronic controls)
^ Reduce the drum speed and the wash rhythm.
– Gas-heated washer-extractors
On gas heated machines the suds solution is pumped around the heater elements. This additional movement of the suds can produce extra foam.
^ Follow the dispensing instructions given above.
^ Use a low lather detergent.
^ On Profitronic controlled machines and in special circumstances it is possible to reduce the drum speed and the wash rhythm during the heating-up phase.

Cleaning and care
The machine should be cleaned and checked over immediately after use where possible.
,
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or hose to clean the machine.
The housing, control panel and any plastic components should be cleaned using a suitable mild cleaning agent, applied with a soft damp cloth. Rub dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the surface material.
Parts of the housing made from stainless steel can be cleaned using a suitable proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent.
Any deposits on the door seals should be wiped off using a damp cloth.
Clean the detergent dispenser, dispenser compartments and siphons
The detergent dispenser, dispenser compartments and siphons must be cleaned after each use with warm water to thoroughly remove any residues of detergents or other agents. If the machine is not going to be used for a while the detergent dispenser should be left open to air the compartment.
The siphon in the dispenser compartment for fabric conditioner should also be cleaned.
To clean the drip channel and the siphons in the detergent dispenser remove the detergent dispenser cover. If a siphon is blocked a bottle brush can be used.
The grille over the cooling fan at the back of the machine should be checked for soiling from time to time and cleaned if necessary.
Rust
The drum and suds container are manufactured from rust free stainless steel.
Water with a very high iron content, or foreign objects such as paper clips, metal buttons etc. which get into the drum with the laundry can cause superficial rusting in the drum and suds container.
To prevent this happening the drum and suds container should be checked and cleaned regularly and if rusting does occur it should be removed using a proprietary cleaning agent for stainless steel.
The door seals should be checked for foreign objects regularly and cleaned as described above.
Leave the door ajar after cleaning to allow the machine to dry.
Remove the siphon and clean with hot water.
Then put it back in place.
