Miele PW 6163 Operating Instructions Manual page 6

Warning and Safety instructions
~
The water used for washing is a suds
solution and is not drinking water.
It 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.
~
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 about a particular agent contact
the manufacturer for advice.
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.
~
Confirm with the detergent manufacturer
that their product can be used in
combination with another type of product.
This is particularly important 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.
~
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.
~
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 pressure washer or hose to
clean the machine.
Using accessories
~
Accessory parts may only be fitted when
expressly approved by Miele. If spare parts
or accessories from other manufacturers are
used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and
Miele cannot accept liability.
