Wa rning and Safety Instructions

Warning and Safety Instructions

Read the operating instructions be­fore using this machine for the first
time. They contain important infor­mation about the safety, use and
maintenance of the machine. This
will avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.

Correct usage

Only use the washing machine to

wash items which are declared by
the manufacturer to be machine-wash­able on the wash-care label.
Any other applications may be dan­gerous. The manufacturer is not liable
for damage resulting from improper
use or operation.

This appliance should not be oper-

ated by children. Supervise its use
by the elderly or infirm.

The electrical safety of this ma-

chine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the machine 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 re­sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.

For safety reasons do not operate

this appliance on an extension
cable. Danger of overheating.

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in un­foreseen dangers for the user, for
which the manufacturer cannot accept
responsibility. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved engin­eer.

The machine is only completely iso-

lated from the electricity supply
when:

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine,
check it for any exernally visible

damage.

Before connecting the machine, en-

sure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre­quency) matches the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali­fied electrician.

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Wa rning and Safety Instructions

The Miele "Waterproof system" pro­tects from water damage provided

the following conditions have been met:
– the machine is correctly plumbed in

and connected to the electricity sup­ply.

– if a fault has been identified, the ma-

chine must be examined by a com­petent person before further use and
repaired if necessary.

Faulty components must only be

exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the ma­chine be guaranteed.

If the connection cable is dam-

aged it must be replaced by a spe­cial Miele cable.

Use

Do not install your washing ma-

chine in rooms where tempera­tures below freezing may occur.
Frozen hoses may burst under press­ure. The reliability of the electronic con­trol system may be impaired at tem­peratures below freezing point.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infesta­tion by cockroaches or other vermin,
pay particular attention to keeping the
appliance 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 appliance guarantee.

Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the transit fit­ting at the rear of the machine has
been removed (see section on "Installa­tion"). During spinning, a transit fitting
which is still in place may result in dam­age to both the machine and adjacent
furniture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if the ma-

chine will be left for any length of
time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is
no floor drain (gully) in the immediate 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. Other­wise this will result in flooding.

Take care to ensure that foreign ob-

jects (e.g. nails, needles, coins,
paper clips, etc.) do not find their way
into the machine with the washing (e.g.
in pockets). Foreign objects can dam­age components of the machine, which
in turn can result in damage to the
washing.

6

Wa rning and Safety Instructions

If the correct amount of detergent

is dispensed, the machine should
not need to be descaled. If, however,
you do wish to descale the machine
only use proprietary non-corrosive de­scaling agents and strictly observe the
instructions. Consult the Miele Cus­tomer Service Department.

Textiles which have been pre-

treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in
clean water before being washed in the
machine.

Never use solvent based cleaning

agents in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such deter­gents also pose a fire and explosion ha­zard.

Only use dyes specified by the

manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a washing machine. Always ob­serve the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.

Always make sure the drum is sta-

tionary before reaching in to
remove washing. Reaching into a mov­ing drum is extremely dangerous.

This machine is intended for do-

mestic use, and the guarantee is
on this understanding. If the machine is
used in a commercial environment, the
user is responsible for ensuring con­formity to all relevant regulations.

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.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine

unplug it. Render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap­pliance to prevent misuse.

Dye removers may contain sulphur

compounds which cause damage
such as corrosion to the machines. Do
not use dye removers in this machine.

For machines with a ’porthole’

door, remember that the porthole
glass will be hot when washing at very
high temperatures. Do not let children
touch it during a hot wash programme.

Disposal of the packing
material

The transport and protective packing is
mostly manufactured from the following
recycled or re-useable materials:

– corrugated paper/card
– polystyrene - CFC-free
– untreated surplus wood
– chipboard, contains no phenolic

resins
– polyethylene foil (PE)
– packaging straps: polyropylene (PP)
Rather than just throwing these ma-

terials away, please take them to the
nearest local authority collection point
for specific waste.

Disposal of your old machine

Old machines may contain material
which can be reclaimed or recycled.
Please contact your dealer, your local
waste collection centre or scrap mer­chant about potential recycling
schemes.

Ensure that the machine presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

See the appropriate section in the
Warning and Safety instructions.

Washing envir onmentally and economically

Washing environmentally and economically

Caring for the environment means sav­ing water, energy and detergent when
washing but without compromising on
results.

The key to a good wash result is finding
the best combination of amount of
detergent, temperature, length of pro­gramme and the machine’s technology.

If necessary, some programmes take
longer to achieve this effect. With the
"Hydromatic" system, the drum can re­volve at different speeds. Longer and
slower action together with pauses for
steeping, work towards a good result.

The automatic load control facility en­sures the correct water level for the
type of fabric and laundry load being
washed. Sometimes it even appears
that there is no water in the drum.

Normally, main wash is sufficient for a
clean result, so a pre-wash is not auto­matically included in the programmes.
If it is wanted, a simple press on the
pre-wash selector includes it.

Economy tips

To help you wash most economically,
remember the following tips:

– The automatic load control facility

allows you to wash individual loads
of between 1 and 5 kg. Ideally wash
with the maximum load specified for
each programme. This uses the en­ergy to the best advantage.

– Only use the correct amount of deter-

gent required for the water hardness
level in your area, according to the
detergent manufacturer’s recommen­dations.

– If washing is not heavily stained, se-

lect a lower temperature setting than
indicated on the wash care label but
do not additionally select "Short".

– Use the "Short wash" option for wash-

ing that is only very lightly soiled, but
do not additionally reduce the tem­perature.

– Using the additional "Soak" option

allows you to reduce the tempera­ture used in the main wash.

The headings numbered (
show the operating sequense and can
be used as a brief guide.

1,2,3,...)

Before washing

1 Prepare the wash load

Empty all pockets.

Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately sev­eral times before being included in a
mixed load.

Delicate textiles should be washed sep­arately in a delicates programme.

Any loose wiring in bras etc., should be
removed or sewn in.

Only wash textiles made from wool or
wool mixtures if the textile care label
states that they are suitable for ma­chine washing.

Pre-treating the washing

Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and
cuffs, and water soluble stains can be
pre-treated with bar soap, liquid deter­gent or detergent mixed into a solution
or paste.
With particularly stubborn stains ask
your Dry Cleaner for advice.
Do not use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips etc) can cause damage
to textiles and components in the
machine.

Sort the washing
Most garments have a textile care label

in the collar or side seam. Sort the
washing by care label symbols. (See
the Section on these symbols for their
explanation).

Only wash items in this machine which
are declared by the manufacturer as
being machine washable on the textile
care label.

"Door" button.

How to wash correctly

3 Load the drum.

Unfold washing and load loosely in the
drum. To achieve best results it is advis­able to make up mixed loads consist­ing of both large and small items.
This improves the washing effect and
helps distribute the load evenly to keep
the machine stable and reduce the
noise level during spinning.
Overloading reduces the wash result
and causes more creasing.

Maximum load weights are noted
below:

left behind could shrink, or discol­our other items in the next wash.

4 Close the drum door.

Otherwise there is a danger of objects
being placed inadvertently in the drum.
If these remained unnoticed and were
washed in the next load, they could
damage the washing.

5 Press the I-ON/0-OFF button.

3 Check the folds in the door seal

for any small articles e.g. buttons
which might be lodged there.

– “Water plus" (the water level is in-

creased)

– Programme lock (e.g. to prevent

children from opening the door dur­ing the wash process).

– Soak
– Pre-wash
– Main wash, but only if the suds tem-

perature is less than 55°C.
Please note that the door can only be

opened when the suds temperature is
less than 55°C.

15

Adding detergent

Adding detergent

All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are suit­able, including liquid, compact (con­centrated) and special application
detergents. Use dispensing aids, e.g.
balls, if these are supplied with the
detergent. Woollens and knitwear con­taining wool mixtures should be
washed using a detergent specifically
designed for washing woollens.
Amounts of detergent are recom­mended on the packaging. The right
amount to dispense will depend on the
following:
– The quantity of the washing.

– The water hardness level (check with

your local water supplier).
– The level of soiling.

Water Hardness

Hardness

range

I soft 0 - 130 0° - 7°

II medium 130 - 250 7° - 14°
III hard 250 - 380 14° - 21°
IV very hard over 380 over 21°

It is important to dispense the
correct amount, because...

...too little has the following results:

– The washing will not be properly

clean and will in time become grey

and hard to the touch.
– Greasy particles cling to the washing.
– Lime deposits on the heater ele-

ments.

Type of

...too much results in the following:

– Excessive foam.
– Low level of agitation.
– Poor washing and rinsing results.
Water is taken in through compartment

i in the pre-wash.
Water is taken in through compartment

j in the main wash. If the capacity of
compartment j is insufficient for the
amount of detergent needed (e.g. in
very hard water areas), the Customer
Service Engineer can adjust the ma­chine so that water and detergent can
also be taken into the main wash
through compartment i.

Water Softeners

A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in water
hardness ranges II-IV. Dispense ac­cording to the amount specified on the
packaging. First add detergent and
then the water softener.

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.

If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend dispensing the agents
into compartment j in the following
order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softener

3. Stain salts
This way the agents are distributed

more efficiently.

16

Fabric conditioners/starch formulations

Fabric conditioners/starch formulations

Fabric conditioners/Texturisers

Fabric conditioners make garments
soft and fluffy to handle and help pre­vent static cling when tumble drying.
Dispense according to the manufac­turer’s instructions.

Texturisers are synthetic starch formula­tions and give body to items e.g. shirts,
tablecloths and bed linen.

Open the lid of compartment p.

Add fabric conditioner, but do not ex-

ceed the max. level mark.

– If preferred, select "Rinse hold" to

allow the load to steep in the fabric
conditioner / retexturiser.

Starch / liquid starch

Prepare and dispense the starch sol­ution in accordance with the manu­facturer’s instructions.

Add to compartment i .
Select the spin speed.
Select “Starch” .

– The "Soak / Prewash" indicator will

light up.

– If the washing is not be be spun at

the end of the programme after
starching, select "Without final spin".
Water will be drained away at the
end of the starch stage.

– If the washing is to be steeped in the

starch solution after the starch stage
(to lessen creasing), select "Rinse
hold".
To continue:
select a spin speed.

Close the compartment lid and push

the drawer back in.
– The conditioner or retexturizer is

automatically dispensed in the last

rinse. At the end of the programme a

small amount of water remains in the

fabric conditioner compartment p.

Increasing the water level:

The water level can be increased from a low level to a higher level by pressing the “Water plus” button.

Top-up rinse:

Additional water flows into the drum, and the suds are cooled slightly. Hot water might damage plastic
drain pipes.

Graduated rinsing:

The suds are cooled at the end of the wash cycle by water flowing in and being pumped away at inter­vals. This minimises the danger of creasing, by avoiding sudden temperature changes.

WOOL:

Wool is susceptible to damage from movement when it is wet. Drum movement times during the pro­gram are shorter, and the drum rotates more slowly.

pads. In the programmes MINIMUM IRON, and WOOL the spin speed is automatically limited to 900
rpm and in the DELICATES programme to 600 rpm. A lower speed can be selected.

Anti-crease, spin and loosen:

The anti-crease action guards against the tendency for creases to set in when fabrics have been left in
water for a long time. There is drum movement twice a minute. The anti-crease phase can be can­celled by pressing in the “Door” button.

Rinse hold:

Interim rinse and spin is carried out in the relevant programmes.
At the end of the final rinse the washing remains suspended in water, if “Rinse hold” was selected

under the SPIN options.This helps to reduce the possibility of creasing, if the washing is left for some
time before being taken out of the machine.

Without final spin:

Interim rinse and spin is carried out in the relevant programmes.Washing is not spun after the final
rinse, but the water is drained away, and the machine goes straight into the anti-crease stage.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the washing machine

Clean the casing with a mild non-ab­rasive detergent or soap and water.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Clean the facia panel with a damp
cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

The drum can be cleaned using a
suitable proprietary stainless steel
cleaner.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, or
glass or all purpose cleaners.
These might cause damage to the
plastic surfaces because of the
chemicals they contain.

Detergent dispenser drawer

Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer until a resistance is felt.

Cleaning and care

Clean the detergent dispenser and
conditioner dispenser compart­ments. Regularly remove any deter­gent residues.

Press down the red release knob
and at the same time pull the drawer
right out of the machine.

Remove the suction tube from com­partment p, wash under running
warm water and put back.

25

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the fluff filter and
pump

Check the fluff filter initially after 3 - 4
washes to ascertain how often it is
likely to require cleaning.

With normal cleaning approx. 2 litres of
water run out.

If the drain outlet is clogged, more
water will be retained in the machine
(up to 25 litres).

Caution: if laundry has been
washed at a high temperature,
water draining out of the machine
will still be hot!

Open the flap
Place a dish under the drain fixture.

Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from
behind the detergent drawer facia
panel, (see illustration above).

26

Turn the fluff filter lid round 2 - 3
times. Do not take it right out.

With large volumes of water when the
dish is full, screw the fluff filter back
into position and empty the dish before
repeating the procedure.

Cleaning and care

Once the flow of water ceases,
remove the fluff filter completely and
clean it.

Remove any foreign bodies (e.g. but­tons, coins, etc.) and fluff.

Turn the impeller by hand to check
that it is free to rotate. Any foreign ob­jects causing an obstruction should
be removed.

Clean the inside of the fluff filter hous­ing.

Remove any deposits of lime scale and
detergent or foreign bodies from the
thread of the filter housing and filter unit
(as these objects can cause a leakage
of water).

Put the fluff filter back and screw it in
firmly.

27

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the filter in the water
inlet

The washing machine has two filters to
protect the water inlet valves.

The accessible filter in the union in the
open end of the inlet hose should be
cleaned about every six months, or
after an interruption to the external
water supply.

First turn off the stopcock.
Unscrew the threaded union con-

necting the free end of the inlet hose
to the stopcock.

Remove the rubber seal from the re­cess.

Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar, remove the filter and
clean.

28

Put the filter and seal back in the
reverse order and reconnect the
hose.

Turn on the stopcock and check the
connection is water tight. If water drips
out, tighten the connection.

Never forget to put the filter back in
place after cleaning it.

Opening the drum door in the
event of a power failure

Switch off the washing machine.

Remove the flap opener from behind
the detergent drawer facia panel.

Place a dish or bowl under the spout.
Point the drain hose into the con-

tainer.

Remove the stopper.

Caution: if laundry has been
washed at a high temperature water
draining out of the machine will still
be hot!

Open the flap (in the machine plinth).

The amount of water discharged de­pends on the drainage height. A de­livery head (e.g. 1 m) will mean there is
more water to drain. The container will
need to be emptied several times.

When no more water drains out
place the stopper back in the hose.

33

Problem solving guide

Pull the emergency door latch down­wards using a spoon handle (see il­lustration). The machine door will
then open.

Please note that: on machines with left
hand hingeing the emergency door
latch is located behind a second ac­cess flap in the centre of the plinth.

To chec k water pressure

Place a bucket under the stopcock.
Turn on the stopcock.

If 5 litres of water flow into the bucket in
15 seconds the water pressure is cor­rect.

Electric socket

If there is any doubt about the elec­tricity supply socket, consult a qualified
electrician.

Always make sure the drum is sta­tionary before reaching in to the ma­chine to remove washing. Reaching
into a moving drum is extremely
dangerous.

Installation

Installation

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable in­stallation surface for a washing ma­chine, being far less prone to vibration
during the spin cycle than wooden
floorboards or a surface with "soft"
properties.

Please note the following points:

The machine must be level and se­curely positioned.

To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.

If installing on a wooden joist floor,
we recommend a plywood base at
least 30 mm thick, 590 x 520 mm
wide. The base should span several
joists and be bolted to the joists, not
only to the floorboards. Check for the
presence of pipes and cables first.

Removing the transit fitting

Turn the left-hand transit
bar 90°.

The most stable part of a floor is
usually in the corner.

If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it must be secured
against slippage during spin using
retaining clips (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Dept).

Installation

Lift the machine from its packaging
base and move it to its site. Please
note:

Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.

Ensure that the machine feet and the
floor are dry to prevent the machine
from slipping during the spin cycle.

36

Turn the right-hand transit bar
90°.

Installation

Withdraw the two bars together
with the support plate.

Plug the two holes with the
plastic caps supplied.

The machine should not be moved with­out the transit fitting in place.

The transit fitting should be stored
in a safe place for future use. It
must be re-fitted if the machine is to
be moved again. Re-fitting is car­ried out by reversing the procedure.

37

Installation

Levelling the machine

The machine must be perfectly level to

ensure safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase

water and electricity consumption.

Plumbing

Plumbing

Connection to water supply

Fitting

The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
standard regulations. In Germany the
washing machine is not required to
have a non-return valve as it has been
designed to comply with DVGW regula­tions.

42

The machine is designed to operate
with a minumum water pressure of 1
bar. There is a minimum flow pressure
of 1 bar if 5 litres of water flow into a
suitable container in 15 seconds. The
static water pressure must not exceed
10 bar. If it is higher than 10 bar it is es­sential to fit a reducer valve.

Plumbing

The Miele “Waterproof system” con­nected between the stopcock and the
machine offers the safest protection
against water leaks.

For the “Waterproof system” to function
correctly, it may only be fitted in the po­sitions shown (see illustrations).

Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should
be fitted by a qualified plumber.

The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for
leaks. Correct the position of the
washer and union if appropriate.

The “Waterproof system” is NOT
suitable for connection to a hot
water supply.

Function

At the heart of this leak protection sys­tem there is an electric safety valve,
which works like an automatic stop­cock. The Miele “Waterproof system”
protects from water damage in the fol­lowing cases:

Protection in the e v e nt of a leak in g ma­chine

Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the appliance. A
float switch switches the safety valve
off electrically, no more water will flow
in.

Protection in the e v e nt of a leak in g wat er
inlet hose

Leaking water is fed into the sump
through the protective covering which
surrounds the inlet hose as a “second
skin”. The float switch switches off the
water supply.

The protective sleeve of the hose must
not be damaged (see illustration).

The “Waterproof system” with a hose
length of approx. 4.5 metres is avail­able as an optional extra.

Maintenance
NB.If you intend to unscrew the “Water-

proof system” unit from the mains water
supply it is essential that the machine is
first disconnected from the electricity
supply.

Only use a genuine Miele “Waterproof
system” able to withstand pressure of
up to 70 bar, should you ever need a re­placement.

The two dirt filters - one at the inlet
point - one in the solenoid valve
inlet, must not be removed.

43

Plumbing

Important!

The plastic casing of the water connec­tion contains an electric component.

Do not dip into any liquid!

44

The "Waterproof system" must only
be connected to its own stopcock. It
must not be connected to mixer taps
or similar.

Plumbing

Connection to the drainage system

The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre.

The drain hose is 1.5 m long. It must
not be kinked as this restricts drainage.
The Swivel elbow at the end of the
hose can be turned in either direction,
or can be detached if required with a
sharp twist and pull.

Drain hose connection:

Direct into a sink: Hook the hose

over the edge and secure. Make

sure that the water can flow freely to

avoid flooding and to prevent water

from being sucked back into the ma-

chine.

Connected to a standpipe.

Connected to a plastic drain pipe

with a rubber nipple. There is no

need to use a non-return valve.

Allow the water to drain off into a

floor drain.
If required, the drain hose can be ex-

tended to a length of 5 m. The necess­ary parts can be purchased from the
Miele Spareparts department.

For a delivery head of more than 1 m
(up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a second
Duo drain pump is available with the
corresponding conversion kit from the
Miele Spare Parts Department.
