Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
The maximum dry laundry weight for the PW511 is 11.0kg.
See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads for
individual programmes.
Before using the machine for the first time, ensure that the transit
bars have been removed (see "Installation - Removing the transit
bars"). During spinning, transit bars which are still in place can cause
damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Never try to open the drum door of the washing machine using
force. The drum door can only be opened if appropriate information is
shown in the display.
Do not push the suspended drum unit while the machine is
running.
When closing the drum door there is a risk of injury between the
door frame and drum opening, as well as at the hinges.
Caution! The drum door is locked automatically when the machine is
started.
Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time
(e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain in the
immediate vicinity.
Make sure that no foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper
clips) find their way into the machine with the laundry. Foreign objects
can damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum).
Damaged components can, in turn, result in damage to the laundry.
If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine
should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale
your washing machine, only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling
agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. Special
descaling agent is available from Miele. Strictly observe the
instructions for the packaging.
Fabrics that have been pre-treated in solvent-based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being placed
in the machine. Note that solvent residues may only be discharged
into waste water in compliance with local legislation.
Never use solvent-based detergents, e.g. those containing
benzine, in this washing machine. This may result in damage to
component parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion!
Do not store or use petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable
substances near the washing machine. Do not use the machine lid as
storage space.
Risk of fire and explosion!
