Warning and Safety instructions
This washing machine complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to per-
sonal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washing
machine. They contain important information on safety, installation,
use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and dam-
age to the washing machine.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the washing machine as well as the safety in-
structions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on
to any future owner.
Correct application
This washing machine is intended for use in domestic households
and similar working and residential environments.
The washing machine is not intended for outdoor use.
It must be used only as a domestic appliance to wash items which
are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the wash
care label. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from in-
correct or improper use or operation.
The washing machine can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences
of incorrect operation.

background
Warning and Safety instructions
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine
and do not let them play with it.
Technical safety
Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical
data.
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.
Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the connec-
tion data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaran-
teed when correctly earthed.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any
doubt, please have the wiring system of the building tested by a qual-
ified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity sup-
ply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not
guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the
risk of overheating).
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran-
tee the safety standards of the machine.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so
that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if
necessary.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
While the washing machine is under warranty, repairs should only
be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise
the warranty will be invalidated.

background
Warning and Safety instructions
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 service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the war-
ranty.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may
be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the
warranty.
The machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on
a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when
cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.
The machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the
condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in good
time and avoid the risk of any water damage.
The water flow pressure must be at least 100kPa and should not
exceed 1000kPa.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system
complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent stand-
ard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.

Warning and Safety instructions
This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resist-
ance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only be used
for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suitable for
room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele au-
thorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department.
This washing machine contains light source corresponding to energy
efficiency rating E.
Correct use
Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk
of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the elec-
tronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing
point.
Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit
bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see “Installation
- Removing the transit bars”). During spinning, a transit bar which is
still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent
furniture or appliances.
Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of
time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the im-
mediate vicinity.
Flooding danger.
If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can
drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Make
sure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowing
out of the hose does not dislodge it.
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 container,
drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam func-
tion. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temper-
ature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Stand
back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated.
The maximum load for this washing machine is 9,0 kg (dry weight).
See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads
for individual programmes.

Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component
parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and explo-
sion hazard.
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed
in the machine.
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 a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent.
Miele recommends using Miele descaling agent which is available to
order online at www.miele.co.uk or from Miele. Strictly observe the
instructions on the packaging.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine, to clean the surfaces of the machine. They can cause dam-
age to plastic surfaces.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufac-
turer's instructions carefully.
Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in
this machine.
If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thor-
oughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical
assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for refer-
ence. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their
skin coming into contact with detergent.

Caring for the environment
Disposing of the packaging ma-
terial
The packaging material is used for hand-
ling and protects the appliance from
transport damage. The packaging ma-
terial used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material re-
duces the use of raw materials. Use ma-
terial-specific collection points for valu-
able materials and take advantage of re-
turn options. Your Miele dealer will take
the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances con-
tain many valuable materials. They also
contain certain materials, compounds
and components which were essential
for their correct functioning and safety.
These could be hazardous to human
health and to the environment if dis-
posed of with household waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele, free of charge. By law, you
are solely responsible for deleting any
personal data from the old appliance
prior to disposal. You are legally obliged
to remove any old batteries which are
not securely enclosed by the appliance
and to remove any lamps without des-
troying them, where this is possible.
These must be taken to a suitable col-
lection point where they can be handed
in free of charge. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.

background
Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption
- To get the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load size for
the wash programme you are using.
This will keep the energy and water
consumption to a minimum in relation
to the size of the load.
- Programmes that are more efficient
with regard to energy and water con-
sumption generally have a longer run-
ning time. By extending the pro-
gramme running time, the wash tem-
perature that is actually reached can
be reduced while still providing the
same wash results.
For example, the ECO 40-60pro-
gramme has a longer running time
than the Cottons40°C or 60°C pro-
gramme. The ECO 40-60programme
is more efficient in terms of energy
and water consumption but has a
longer running time.
- Use the Express 20programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Using lower temperature set-
tings will save energy.
Hygiene in the washing ma-
chine
Washing at low temperatures and/or us-
ing liquid detergents can cause bacteria
and odours to build up in the washing
machine. Miele therefore recommends
cleaning the washing machine once
every month.
When the message Hygiene info: run a
programme at min. 75 °C or the “Clean ma-
chine” programme appears in the display,
the washing machine must be cleaned.
Information about subsequent
tumble drying
The spin speed selected affects the re-
sidual moisture in the laundry and the
sound emissions of the washing ma-
chine.
The higher the spin speed, the lower the
residual moisture in the laundry. How-
ever, the sound emissions of the wash-
ing machine will increase.
Select the highest possible spin speed
for the wash programme to save energy
in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.
Detergent
- For precise dispensing use automatic
detergent dispensing.
- Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
- Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent recommended by the manufac-
turer on the packaging.

1. Prepare the laundry
Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on
can cause damage to garments and
components in the machine.
Check the laundry before washing
and remove any foreign objects.
Sort the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by care
label. Most garments have a textile
care label in the collar or side seam.
Tip: Dark textiles often contain excess
dye and should be washed separately
several times before being included in a
mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using a
soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee, tea)
can be pre-treated using some handy
tricks which can be found in the Miele
guide to laundry care.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents
Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc., can damage
plastic parts.
When pre-treating textiles, make sure
that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons)
do not come into contact with clean-
ing agent.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents.
When using solvent-based cleaning
agents, an explosive mixture may de-
velop.
Never use solvent-based cleaning
agents in the washing machine.
General tips
- Curtains: remove rollers and lead
weights or place in a laundry bag.
- Sew in or remove any loose underwir-
ing in bras.
- Close any zips, attach velcro fasten-
ers, fasten hooks and eyes, etc. be-
fore washing.
- Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from becoming
rolled up inside them.
Do not wash items which are specified
by the manufacturer as not washable
according to the symbol on the care la-
bel (symbol).

3. Load the washing machine
Open the door
Reach under the door grip and pull
the door open.
Check the drum for pets or foreign
objects before loading it with laundry.
The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is
washed. However, do not overload as
this reduces cleaning efficiency and
causes creases.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum.
Mixing both large and small items
gives better wash results and also
helps distribute the load evenly during
spinning.
Tip: Please note the maximum load for
the different wash programmes. The rel-
evant programme load is always shown
in the display when you select a pro-
gramme.
Close the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.

This washing machine has fully elec-
tronic controls with automatic load con-
trol. The washing machine takes in the
right amount of water required for the
programme depending on the amount of
laundry and its absorbency rate.
The programme sequences outlined in
the chart are based on the basic pro-
gramme with a full load.
The washing machine programme se-
quence display shows which stage of
the programme has been reached.
Special features in the pro-
gramme sequence
Anti-crease:
At the end of the programme, the drum
continues to turn at intervals for up to
30minutes to help prevent creasing.
Exception: There is no anti-crease phase
in the Woollensand Silkspro-
grammes.
The washing machine can be opened at
any time.

Programme sequence
PowerWash
PowerWash is a washing technique de-
veloped by Miele. It is activated in the
following programmes:
- Cottons (with small and medium load
sizes)
- Minimum iron
- Shirts
- Automatic plus
- Delicates
- ECO 40-60 (with small and medium
load sizes)
How it works
Conventional washing techniques wash
with more water than the laundry can
absorb. This total volume of water
needs to be heated.
The PowerWash washing technique
only uses slightly more water than the
laundry can absorb. The water which
has not been absorbed by the laundry
heats up the drum and the laundry and
is sprayed into the laundry over and over
again. This reduces energy consump-
tion.
Activation
PowerWash is activated automatically
in the programmes listed above.
PowerWash is deactivated if:
- The selected final spin speed is less
than 600rpm
- CapDosing (, ) has been selected
for the main wash
- The wash temperature is higher than
60°C
- Extras such as Pre-wash or Water +
have been selected
- A large load is being washed in the
Cottonsprogramme
Special features
- Drenching phase
The washing machine will spin a few
times at the beginning of the pro-
gramme. During spinning, the water
discharged is sprayed back into the
laundry in order to achieve optimum
moisture penetration.
The optimum water level is set at the
end of the drenching phase. If neces-
sary, the washing machine will pump
water away or take in a little more
fresh water.
- Noises during the heating phase
Unusual bubbling noises can occur
while the laundry and the drum are
being heated.

Changing the programme sequence
Changing a programme (safety
lock)
A programme, temperature, spin speed
or selected options cannot be changed
once the machine has been successfully
started. This prevents the machine be-
ing operated unintentionally, e.g. by chil-
dren.
If the washing machine is switched off
during active programme operation,
the standby function does not switch
the washing machine off completely
after 15minutes. Safety functions con-
tinue to be active because there may
still be water inside the drum.
Interrupting a programme
Turn the programme selector to the
position.
The washing machine switches off.
To continue: turn the programme se-
lector to the position of the wash pro-
gramme that was started.

Detergent
The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic
washing machines are suitable. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
dosage recommendations on the pack-
aging.
For users in Asia:
please use a low foaming detergent
suitable for use in front-loading ma-
chines
Tips on dosing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level
of soiling of the laundry and the size of
the load. Reduce the amount of deter-
gent with smaller loads (e.g. reduce the
amount of detergent by when wash-
ing a half load).
Too little detergent:
- Results in laundry not being cleaned
properly and may cause it to become
grey and hard to the touch over time.
- Can lead to a build-up of mould in the
washing machine.
- Results in grease not being com-
pletely removed from the laundry.
- Can lead to limescale deposits on the
heater elements.
Too much detergent
- Causes poor wash, rinse, and spin
results.
- Causes higher water consumption as
an extra rinse cycle is automatically
activated.
- Is a greater burden on the environ-
ment.
The right amount to dispense
will depend on the following:
- the soiling level of the load
- the quantity of the laundry
- the water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier if
you do not know the hardness level in
your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in areas
with water hardness levels II and III.
Dispense according to the amount spe-
cified on the packaging. First add deter-
gent and then the water softener.
You can then use the recommended
amount of detergent for water hardness
level I.
Water hardness levels

°d
I (soft) 0 – 1.5 0 – 8.4
II (medium) 1.5 – 2.5 8.4 – 14
III (hard) above 2.5 above 14
Dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent, particu-
larly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent buy refill
packs wherever possible. This helps re-
duce the amount of waste packaging.

Fabric conditioner and liquid
starch
Fabric conditioner
makes garments soft to handle and
helps prevent static cling when tumble
drying.
Starch
stiffens and gives body to items of laun-
dry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed
linen.
Adding fabric conditioner or li-
quid starch separately
Prepare the starch in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
Tip: When adding fabric conditioner, ac-
tivate the Water + extra option.

movers in this washing machine.
Dyes suitable for use in domestic wash-
ing machines can be used. However,
please note that the salt used in the
dyeing process can cause corrosion to
stainless steel components in the ma-
chine if you use dye frequently. Always
follow the dye manufacturers instruc-
tions carefully.

An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Cause and remedy
Liquid detergent does
not give the required
result.
Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching agents.
They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea stains.
Use the Miele 2 Phase System. The targeted addi-
tion of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process re-
moves stains effectively.
Use a general purpose powder detergent containing
a bleaching agent.
Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break
down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
Use more detergent.
Before washing the next load, run the Clean ma-
chine using Miele machine cleaner or a powder de-
tergent.
White residues which
look like powder deter-
gent are seen on dark
textiles after washing.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid
water softening which are not soluble in water. These
have ended up on the laundry.
Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush once
the laundry is dry.
Wash dark textiles using a detergent which contains
no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain no
zeolites.
Use the Dark garments/Denim programme for dark
coloured laundry.

*INSTALLATION*
Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable in-
stallation surface. It is far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted sur-
face.
Please note:
The machine must be level and se-
curely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
Install the machine on a plywood
base (at least 59x52x3cm). The
base should span several joists and
be bolted to the joists and not only to
the floorboards. Check for the pres-
ence of pipes and cables first.
Tip: If possible, install the machine in a
corner. This is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
Injury can occur if the washing
machine has not been adequately se-
cured.
During installation, the washing ma-
chine must be secured on a plinth to
be made available on site (concrete
or brick), in order to ensure it cannot
fall or slip.
Secure the washing machine using a
clamp/fastening bracket (MTS floor
mounting kit – available from your
Miele dealer or Miele spare parts de-
partment).
Transporting the washing ma-
chine to its installation site
Danger of injury due to unsecure
lid.
Make sure the fixings at the back of
the lid are secure. Otherwise there is
a danger of the lid being pulled off
when carrying the machine.
Before carrying the machine check
that the lid is secure where it pro-
trudes at the back of the machine.
Carry the washing machine by the
front feet and by the lid where it pro-
trudes at the back of the appliance.

Levelling the machine
The washing machine must stand per-
fectly level on all four feet to ensure safe
and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase elec-
tricity and water consumption and may
cause the machine to move about.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
The four adjustable screw feet are used
for levelling the washing machine. The
machine is supplied with all four feet are
screwed in.
Using the spanner supplied, turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then turn counter nut 2 together with
foot 1 to unscrew.
Use a level to check that the washing
machine is standing level.
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again us-
ing the spanner supplied until it sits
firmly up against the housing.
Risk of damage due to incorrectly
aligned washing machine.
There is a danger of the washing ma-
chine moving about if the feet are not
secured.
Turn all four counter nuts for the feet
until they sit firmly up against the
housing. Please also check this for
the feet which did not need adjust-
ment.

The water protection system
The Miele water protection system pro-
tects all parts of the washing machine
from water damage.
The system consists of three main com-
ponents:
- the inlet hose
- the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
- the drain hose
Inlet hose
- Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressure of at least 7,000kPa.
Electronic module and housing
- Floor tray: any leaking water from the
washing machine is collected in the
floor tray. There is a float switch to
close the water intake valve. The wa-
ter inlet is shut off and any water in-
side the suds container is drained
away.
- Leak protection: any leaking water that
is not collected in the floor tray is de-
tected. The water inlet is shut off and
any water inside the suds container is
drained away.
- Overflow protection: this prevents the
washing machine from taking in too
much water and overflowing. If the
water level exceeds a certain level, the
drain pump switches on and pumps
the excess water away.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ventila-
tion system which prevents the washing
machine from being emptied com-
pletely.

Connection to the water supply
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking wa-
ter specification of the country in
which the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing machine
to the mains water supply.
The water connection pressure needs to
be between 100 and 1000kPa. If the
water connection pressure exceeds
1000kPa, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
A stopcock with a ¾inch threaded
union is required for the connection. If
this is not available, only a qualified in-
staller may connect the washing ma-
chine to the mains water supply.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
The washing machine must not be
connected to a hot water supply.
Connecting the water inlet hose
Screw the water inlet hose onto the
thread of the water inlet with the nut.
Slowly open the stopcock and check
the connection for leaks.
Correct the position of the seal and
screw thread if necessary.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been pressure tested to withstand at
least 7,000kPa should you ever need a
replacement.
Damage caused by dirty water.
A filter is located in the open end of
the inlet hose and another in the in-
take point to protect the inlet valve in
the washing machine.
These filters must not be removed.
78
background
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m high delivery head. For
the water to drain freely, the hose must
be free of kinks.
If required, the hose can be extended to
a length of up to 5m. Accessories are
available from your Miele dealer or from
the Miele Customer Service Depart-
ment.
For drain heights of more than 1m (up
to a maximum delivery head of 1.8m), a
replacement drain pump will need to be
fitted. Please contact Miele for advice.
For a drain height of 1.8m, the hose can
be extended to a length of up to 2.5m.
Accessories are available from your
Miele dealer or from the Miele Cus-
tomer Service Department.
Hanging the drain hose in the sink or
slops basin
If drainage is via the sink, rapid drain-
age must be guaranteed. Otherwise
there is a risk of flooding or backsi-
phonage into the washing machine.
Tip: Use the swivel elbow supplied to
stop the drain hose from slipping.
Insert the drain hose into the
swivel elbow.
Place the end of the drain hose in a

Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with
an electrical connection cable with
moulded plug ready for connection to a
switched socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the washing machine has been in-
stalled. If that is not possible, ensure
that a suitable means of disconnection
is provided on the installation side for
each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the washing machine to
a multi-socket plug adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the
cable.
Do not use an extension lead or
multi-socket plug adapter.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK). We recommend
the use of a suitable RCD .
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Department). For safety reasons,
such replacement may only be carried
out by a qualified technician or the
Miele Customer Service Department.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the appropriate
fuse rating. Compare the specifications
on the data plate with those of the elec-
tricity supply and make sure that they
match.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not syn-
chronised with the mains power supply
(e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation
is that the power supply system com-
plies with the specifications of
EN50160 or an equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the pro-
tective measures provided in the do-
mestic electrical installation and in this
Miele product must also be maintained
in isolated operation or in operation that
is not synchronised with the mains
power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in
the installation. As described, for ex-
ample, in the current version of BS OH-
SAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.
