Miele G7859 - Manual (Page 7)

Take care when handling liquid
agents/additives. These may con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients. On
no account use any organic solvent, as
there may be the danger of an explo-
sion occuring.
Follow the instructions and relevant
safety procedures carefully. Wear pro-
tective gloves and goggles. With all
chemical agents the manufacturer’s
safety instructions must be observed.
Avoid inhalation of powder deter-
gents.
They can cause burning in the mouth
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit brea-
thing.
The water in the machine must not
be used as drinking water.
Do not sit or lean on the open
door. This could cause the ma-
chine to tip and be damaged.
Be careful when sorting sharp-
pointed items. You may prefer to
place cutlery with sharp points with the
handles upwards to avoid possible in-
jury.
When using this machine in the
higher temperature ranges be
especially careful not to scald or burn
yourself. Baskets and inserts must first
cool down. Any water which may re-
main in containers will be very hot and
must be emptied into the wash cabinet.
Do not touch the heating elements
during or directly after the end of a
programme, you could burn yourself.
They remain hot for a while after the end of
a programme.
Never clean the machine or close
vicinity with a water hose or a high
pressure hose.
Before any maintenance or repair
work is undertaken, the machine
must be disconnected from the mains
supply by switching off at the mains iso-
lator or switching off the mains fuse.
The following notes should help to
avoid material damage.
Only use detergents formulated for
special processes and
approved by Miele for use with this
machine. Use of unsuitable detergents
could adversely affect the components
of the machine as well as items being
cleaned.
For pre-treatment and / or cleaning
only use low-foaming detergents
and disinfecting agents which have
been approved by Miele. Foam can
have an adverse effect on the disinfec-
tion and cleaning process.
