Technical Safety - Miele PWM 509 Kurzgebrauchsanweisung


Close the drum door after each wash cycle. This is to avoid the risk
of children trying to climb into the washing machine or hide things in
it, and animals getting into the machine.

Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features or control
elements of this washing machine.

Machines with a damaged control panel, wires or cables must not
be used until they have been repaired.

Water used for washing in this machine consists of suds and is not
drinking water! Drain the suds into a proper drainage system.

Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely danger-
ous.

Be careful not to put your hands in the gap between door and
frame when closing the drum door.
Please note: the drum door is locked automatically as soon as the
washing machine starts.

It is particularly important to follow the manufacturer's instructions
when using a combination of cleaning agents and special application
products. Products must only be used for applications approved by
the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of
strong chemical reactions.


The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaran-
teed when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic

ing system should be inspected by a specialist. Miele cannot be held
liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised technician, other-
wise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

Do not make any alterations to the washing machine, unless au-
thorised to do so by Miele.

event of a fault and for cleaning and maintenance. The washing ma-
chine is only electrically disconnected from the power supply when:
