Explanation of the Warning and Safety symbols on the machine

It is essential to read these operating instructions.

Please refer to specific instructions, e.g. Installation instructions

Caution, hot surfaces.

Caution, voltage up to 1000 volts.

Earthing
To avoid the risk of accidents or damage to the machine read the operating instructions through before using it for the first time.
Appropriate use of the machine
This washer extractor is only intended for items of laundry which have not been impregnated with dangerous or inflammable substances.
Only machine wash articles which possess a care label announcing they are suitable for machine washing.
It is the operator's responsibility to ensure that the standard of disinfection in thermal as well as chemo thermal procedures is maintained (in accordance with § 18 IFSG) by carrying out suitable validation tests. These procedures should be checked on a regular basis, either thermo-electrically using loggers, or bacteriologically with bio indicators. The operator must pay particular attention to maintaining the correct parameters in the procedure, including temperature and with chemo thermal programmes the chemical concentration used.
Disinfection programmes must not be interrupted, as this can have a limiting effect on the disinfection result.
On no account must solvents of the kind used for dry cleaning be used in this machine. There may be the danger of fire or explosion.
Never use or store petrol or petroleum based substances or any easily inflammable substances near the machine. Do not use the machine lid as a resting place.
Danger of fire or explosion.
When used in a commercial environment ensure that all operators are trained to use the machine correctly. If the machine is used in a publicly accessible room, please ensure that operators are able to use it safely.
Technical and electrical safety
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is regularly tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features and controls on the machine.
Where there is any damage to the machine or to the cable insulation the machine must not be used until it has been repaired.
Any removable outer panels must be in place, and all moving or electrical parts shielded before the machine is operated.
The machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply either when switched off at the wall isolator, or the mains fuse is withdrawn from the socket.
- Repairs to machines operating with electricity, gas or steam should only be undertaken by a suitably qualified service engineer to ensure safety. Unauthorised repairs could be dangerous.
Never attempt to force the machine door open. To ensure the correct functioning of the door lock safety mechanism the handle is fitted with a break line.
- Faulty components should only be exchanged for Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.
The very best materials are used in the manufacture of this machine, and every care is taken in its manufacture. However, with time, deterioration of parts can occur, especially with rubber components such as hoses. This should be borne in mind if operating the machine without supervision. Check the inlet hoses regularly for signs of deterioration and replace in good time, to avoid leaks and subsequent damage.
Safety precautions to take if you smell gas - applies only to gas-heated washer extractors.
N.B.: Natural gas usually has no smell of its own. In the U.K. a smell is added by British Gas for safety reasons.
■ If you smell gas you must act immediately.
■ Extinguish any flames.
■ Do not create any electrical sparks: e.g. do not insert or withdraw any electrical plugs or operate electrical switches such as lights and door bells.
■ Do not enter a room holding a torch or candle etc. if there is a smell of gas in the room.
■ Do not light cigarette lighter or matches.
■ Do not smoke.
■ Open all windows and doors.
■ Close any shut-off valves at the gas connection or mains supply immediately.
■ Shut off the gas-valve next to the machine.
■ If all gas valves are closed but there is still the smell of gas in the room you should call your local gas supplier immediately.
Important
Before signing off any commissioning, maintenance, conversion or repair work as finished, all gas pipework from the manual isolating valve to the burner nozzles must be checked for soundness. Pay special attention to the test points on the multifunction control, the connection pressure monitor and the burner setting pressure. The tests must be carried out with the burner switched on and switched off.
Use of the machine
This washer extractor is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety.
Never allow children to play in, on or near the washer extractor, or to operate it themselves. Please supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Remember that the door porthole glass can become hot during the operation of the machine. Do not let children touch it.
When washing with high temperatures hot steam will come out of the Air gap at the side of the machine.
Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the danger of:
- children climbing onto or into the dryer or hiding things in it.
- pets or other small animals climbing into it.
Always make sure the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove washing. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.
Water used for washing and rinsing must not be used as drinking water. It must be discharged into a proper sewerage system.
The machine should only be operated unsupervised when there is a floor drain (gully) in the direct vicinity of the machine.
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often have compounds containing chlorides in them. If these agents dry on to stainless steel surfaces, the residual chlorides will attack the steel and can cause rusting. To protect your machine from rust damage, we recommend only using chloride free disinfecting and cleaning agents for washing and disinfecting programmes and for cleaning stainless steel surfaces of the machine itself. If you are not sure about a particular agent, contact the manufacturer of that agent for advice. If you accidentally spill an agent containing chlorides on the machine it should be rinsed off with water and dried using a soft cloth.
- Proprietary dyes, dye removers and de-scaling agents may only be used in this machine if the manufacturer expressly states that they are suitable for use in a washing machine. There may be the danger of fire or explosion.
Always follow the instructions of the chemical manufacturer when using cleaning agents and special application chemicals. Only use such chemicals for the purpose and in the situation specified by the manufacturer in order to avoid the danger of adverse chemical reactions and material damage. If in doubt check the suitability of the product for use in this machine with the manufacturer before using it.
Where a chemical cleaning agent is recommended on technical application grounds, this does not imply that the manufacturer of the machine takes responsibility for the effect of the chemical on the material of the items being cleaned or on the machine. Please be aware that changes in formulation, storage conditions etc., which may not be publicised by the chemical producer, can have a negative effect on the cleaning result.
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.
On no account use high pressure cleaners or hose down the machine.
Use of accessories
- Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated.
Chlorine and component damage
Notes on using chlorine bleach and perchlorethylene
- Frequent use of chlorine increases the risk of component damage.
The use of agents containing chlorine, such as sodium hypochlorite and chlorine bleach in powder form, can damage the protective surface of stainless steel and cause corrosion. Factors affecting this are chlorine concentration levels, contact time and temperature. It is therefore advisable to avoid the use of such agents. Oxygen based bleaching agents should be used instead.
If, however, chlorine based bleaching agents have to be used for particular types of soiling, then anti-chlorine measures must also be carried out. If this is not done irreparable damage can occur to components in the machine and to laundry.
Anti-chlorine treatment
Anti-chlorine treatment has to be carried out immediately after chlorine bleach has been used. Hydrogen peroxide and oxygen based cleaning and bleaching agents must only be used in programmes specified for their use. Any wash performance problems should be discussed with the manufacturer of the cleaning / bleaching product in the first instance.
With thiosulfate, especially when used with hard water, gypsum can form, which can lead to incrustations on laundry or deposits in the machine.
The exact quantity of additives and the treatment temperatures required must be set and tested on site in accordance with the dosage recommendations of the detergent and additive manufacturers. The laundry must also be tested to make sure it contains no active chlorine residues after processing.
Disposal of old machines or appliances
When disposing of an old washer extractor first make it unusable. Disconnect from all services, cut off the cable and the plug from the cable. Make the door lock inoperative, so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the safe disposal of the appliance.
All personnel working with this machine must be fully trained in all aspects of its use and safety.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.
Disposal of your old machine

natural_image
Symbol of a trash bin with no text or labels, featuring crossed and unshaded cross brackets (no readable text)Electrical and electronic machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your machine. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre, and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

Possible reasons for increased levels of foaming:
- detergent type
■ Only use detergent formulated for use in commercial washer extractors. Domestic laundry detergent is not suitable.
- overdosing of detergent
- Dispense detergent following the detergent manufacturer's instructions on the packaging and in accordance with local water hardness levels*.
– detergent creates too much foam
■ Use a lower foaming detergent or contact your detergent application specialist.
- very soft water
In areas with hardness level 1 dispense less detergent in accordance with the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
- soiling level of the laundry
■ For lightly soiled laundry dispense less detergent in accordance with the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
– residues, e.g. detergent are left on laundry
■ Run an additional pre-wash without detergent and without selecting a temperature. Laundry which has been soaked before washing must be thoroughly rinsed before running a wash programme.
- small loads
■ Reduce the amount of detergent dispensed according to the size of the load.
– Gas heated machines
With gas heated machines the circulating suds are pumped over the heater element.
This additional movement of the suds can produce extra foam.
■ Follow the dispensing instructions given above.
■ Use a low lather detergent.
■ Depending on the type of detergent used up to 30% less may be dispensed (not with disinfection programmes).
Water hardness levels
| Hardness range | Water quality | Hardness level in mmol/l | German hardness level °d |
| I soft 0 – 1.3 0 - 7 | |||
| II medium 1.3 – 2.5 7 - 14 | |||
| III hard 2.5 – 3.8 14 - 21 | |||
| IV very hard over 3.8 over 21 | |||
*) If you do not know the hardness level of the water in your area you should contact your local water authority for information.

- You will now be able to open and close the door again.
Cleaning and care of the machine should be carried out, wherever possible, immediately after use.
On no account use high pressure cleaners or hose down the machine.
Build-up of rust
The drum and suds container are manufactured from rust-free stainless steel. It is, however, possible that water with a high iron content or foreign bodies in the wash, (e.g. paper clips or metal buttons), may lead to the formation of superficial rust spots in the drum and/or suds container, especially if the machine is not used for a long time. Stainless steel components should be cleaned regularly with a proprietary cleaning agent for stainless steel. This must be done if rust appears! Door seals should also be regularly checked to make sure that nothing has got trapped in them. Clean them regularly.
After use the detergent box should be cleaned with warm water to remove any detergent residues.
The siphon tubes in the dispenser compartments should also be cleaned.

natural_image

To clean the fluff filter
- This only applies to WS 5100 and WS 5140 with gas heating.-
The fluff filter should be checked regularly for build-up of fluff and cleaned when necessary. Carry out this check only after a programme has finished and the suds container has been emptied.
- A blocked filter is indicated by a continuous humming tone during a programme.-
Clean the filter as follows:
-
Turn the programme selector to "Separate Drain".
-
Once the suds container is empty turn the programme selector to "End".
Place a two litre capacity dish under the fluff filter.

(1) (2)The filters (1) and (2) should be checked from time to time and cleaned if necessary.
The housing, plastic parts, such as buttons, knobs etc. and the facia panel should only be cleaned with appropriate mild cleaners or with a damp cloth and wiped dry. Any scouring agents will scratch the surface.
To clean casing parts made of stainless steel, use an appropriate stainless steel cleaner. Any scouring agents will scratch the surface.
Avoid contact of stainless steel surfaces with liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite.
These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine bleach can also be corrosive.
Do not store open containers of these agents near the machine.
After use do not shut the machine door, but leave it slightly ajar, to allow the machine to dry out.
If the machine is not going to be used for a longer period of time (4 weeks or more) the drum should be rotated several times after the last use. The drum should be rotated every 4 weeks to prevent damage to the bearings.
Should a fault occur please contact your nearest Customer Service Dept.
When contacting the Customer Service Department please give both the model and the serial number (SN) of the machine.
These can be found on the data plate:
with the door open, or at the rear of the machine towards the top.
Only use genuine spare parts, when ordering spare parts the Spare Parts Dept will also need to know the model and the serial number (SN) and Part No. (M.-Nr.).
