Disposal of packing materials

The packing materials protect the

washer from damage during shipping.

They have been selected with an eye to

environmental compatibility and

efficient disposal, and should be

recycled.

Returning packaging to the materials

cycle helps conserve raw materials and

reduces waste. The packing materials

can be returned to your dealer.

Disposing of your old

appliance

Old electric and electronic equipment

often contains valuable materials.

However, they may also contain harmful

substances that were necessary for

safe use. Improperly disposing of these

items in your household waste can be

detrimental to health and the

environment. This is why it is important

NEVER to dispose of your old

appliance with the regular household

garbage.

Instead, please contact your local

community waste collection point to

return and recycle electric and

electronic appliances. Your dealer

should be able to provide you with

details.

If the appliance is being stored for

disposal, please make sure it has been

child-proofed.

This washer complies with all

applicable safety laws and

regulations. Inappropriate use can,

however, lead to personal injury and

property damage.

Please thoroughly read these

instructions before first using the

appliance. They contain important

information on the safe installation,

operation, and care of your

appliance. They are intended to

help prevent personal injury and

damage to the appliance.

Keep these operating instructions in

a safe place and pass them on to

any future owner.

The W 1612 meets all CSA

requirements. This machine is not

approved for use in the United

States.

Proper use

~The washing machine is designed

for household use only and only for

washing textiles whose fabric care label

states that they can be washed. Other

uses may be dangerous. Miele will not

be held liable for damage caused by

improper use or incorrect operation.

~Individuals who are incapable of

using the appliance safely because of

reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or because of a lack of

experience or knowledge, must not use

this appliance without supervision or

instruction by a responsible person.

Children around the appliance

~Supervise any children in the vicinity

of the appliance. Never allow children

to play with the appliance.

~Children must not use the washer

unsupervised unless they have

received sufficient instruction to

operate it safely. They must be able to

recognize the potential hazards of

improper operation.

~Remember that high wash

temperatures will make the porthole

glass hot.

Teach children not to touch the glass

while the washer is in operation.

Important safety instructions

Technical safety

~Check the washer for externally

visible damage before installation.

Do not install or operate a damaged

washer.

~Before plugging in the appliance,

you must make sure that the electrical

rating (fuse amperage, voltage and

connected load in watts, indicated on

the data plate) matches the household

electrical supply. If in any doubt,

consult a qualified electrician.

~The washer can only be considered

safe if it has been connected to a

properly installed grounding system, as

per code.

It is crucial to have this essential safety

requirement tested, and to have the

household wiring checked by a

professional if there is any doubt.

Miele will not be held liable for any

damage or harm caused by a missing

or incomplete grounding system.

~For safety reasons, do not use

extension cords (danger of fire from

overheating).

~Use only genuine Miele replacement

parts to replace defective components.

Only these parts are guaranteed to

meet applicable safety requirements.

~Unauthorized repairs may create

unforeseeable risks for the user, for

which Miele assumes no liability.

Repairs should be carried out only by

authorized Miele technicians -

otherwise, associated damage will not

be covered by the warranty.

~If the power cord is damaged it

must be replaced by an authorized

Miele technician to prevent danger to

the user.

~In the event of a fault, or for care

and cleaning, the washer is only

considered disconnected from the

power supply, when

– the plug is completed removed from

the socket, or

– the circuit breaker for the house

wiring system is completely shut off,

– the screw-out fuse in the house

wiring system is unscrewed and

removed.

~Use only a new hose kit to attach the

washer to the household water supply.

Old hosing should not be re-used.

Important safety instructions

~The appliance is not designed for

use in non-stationary locations (for

example, on ships). However, this use

may be possible if a qualified specialist

determines that the appliance can be

used safely in the location in question.

~Make no modifications to the washer

that are not expressly authorized by

Miele.

Proper use

~Do not place the washer in a room

where there is a risk of frost occurring.

Frozen hoses can split or burst, and the

reliability of the electronics can be

reduced below the freezing point.

~Before using the washer for the first

time, remove the shipping rods on the

back of the appliance (see "Installation

and connection" under "Removing the

transport fittings"). Failure to remove the

shipping rods can damage the washer

and any surrounding furniture or

devices during spinning.

~For extended absences (e.g., a

vacation), close the taps, especially if

there is no gully near the washer.

~Danger of flooding!

Before hanging the drain hose in the

washbasin, make sure the water will

drain away quickly enough.

Secure the hose from slipping. The

force of the water exiting the hose can

cause an unsecured hose to pop out of

the basin.

~Ensure that no foreign bodies (e.g.,

nails, needles, coins, paper clips) are in

the wash. Foreign bodies can damage

the appliance components (e.g., suds

container, washer drum). Damaged

components, in turn, can damage

laundry items.

~Proper dosing of the detergent will

eliminate the need to remove lime

deposits. However, if heavy limescale

nonetheless forms on your washer, be

sure to select a special descaling agent

with corrosion protection. This special

product can be obtained from your

Miele dealer or from Miele Customer

Service. Closely follow the instructions

on the product package.

Important safety instructions

~Textiles that have been pre-treated

with solvent-based cleaners must be

rinsed thoroughly in water before you

wash them.

~NEVER use solvent-based cleaners

(e.g., benzine) in the washing machine.

The use of such products can damage

the appliance and generate noxious

fumes. Fire hazard and danger of

explosion!

~NEVER use solvent-based cleaners

(e.g., benzine) on or around the

washing machine. Splatters can

damage the plastic surfaces of the

appliance.

~Do not use dyes unless they are

recommended for use in washing

machines. Dyes are to be used in

reasonable (household) quantities only.

Closely follow the manufacturer's

instructions.

~Colour removers contain sulphur

compounds, which can lead to

corrosion. Therefore, do not use colour

removers in the washer.

~If liquid detergent comes into

contact with the eyes, immediately flush

with copious amounts of lukewarm

water. If accidentally swallowed, imme-

diately seek medical attention. Persons

with sensitive or damaged skin should

avoid contact with liquid detergents.

Accessories

~Only use accessories that are

expressly authorized by Miele.

If other parts are used, the appliance

warranty and any associated

performance and/or product liability

claims become null and void.

The manufacturer will not be held

liable for damage caused by failure

to comply with the safety instructions

and warnings.
