Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mate‐ rial

The packaging is designed to protect the washing machine from damage dur‐ ing transportation. The packaging ma‐ terials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufactur‐ ing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines often contain valuable materials. They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐ tentially 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 com‐ munity waste collection / recycling cen‐ tre or contact your Dealer for advice.

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

Warning and Safety instructions

This washing machine complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and dam‐ age to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, use and mainte‐ nance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future user.

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 incorrect 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 consequen‐ ces of incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the wash‐

ing machine unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children 8 years and older may only use the washing machine un‐

supervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recog‐ nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washing

machine unsupervised.

 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 connection"

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 quali‐ fied electrician.

 Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be

assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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 qualified 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 origi‐

nal 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.

 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 guar‐ antee.

 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced

by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.

Warning and Safety instructions

 The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when

cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.

 The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage

provided the following conditions are met:

– the machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the elec‐

tricity supply.

– if a fault or damage has been identified, the machine must be ex‐

amined by a competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.

 The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should not

exceed 1000 kPa.

 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 guarantee.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 and connection - 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 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.

 Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,

paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds contain‐ er, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

Warning and Safety instructions

 Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam

function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dis‐ sipated.

 The maximum load for this washing machine is 9 kg (dry weight).

See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.

 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-shop.com or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on the packaging.

 Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning

agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being wash‐ ed in the machine.

 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 ex‐ plosion hazard.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

Accessories

 Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by

Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

 A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing

machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.

 If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an optional

accessory, depending on country), please make sure you order the correct one for this washing machine.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compli‐ ance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Running the first programme

The TwinDos unit needs to be activa‐ ted before running the first pro‐ gramme.

 Please see "TwinDos".

Before using for the first time

TwinDos

The washing machine has an integrated detergent dispensing unit.

The detergent dispensing unit can be used with

1. the Miele 2 Phase System or

2. any other liquid detergent and/or fab‐

ric conditioner

The Miele 2 Phase System

The Miele 2 Phase System uses a base detergent (UltraPhase 1) and a deter‐ gent enhancer (UltraPhase 2). In order to achieve optimum results, the agents are dispensed separately during the wash process. The 2 Phase System cleans both white and coloured textiles thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 single use cartridges are available to order from Miele or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (see end of this booklet for contact details).

Liquid detergent/Fabric conditioner

The washing machine is supplied with two refillable containers which you can fill with liquid detergent and/or fabric conditioner.

How TwinDos works

Automatic detergent dispensing for a wash cycle is activated via the Dos  sensor.

To use the TwinDos function, you need to specify the following information for the electronic unit:

1. the detergent type and/or fabric conditioner with which the contain‐ ers are filled.

2. the dosage amount of the liquid de‐ tergent or fabric conditioner. The dosage amount for Miele products is pre-set at the factory.

Do not fill the containers with any specialist detergents. Use cap dos‐ ing or the detergent dispenser draw‐ er for these.

Automatic dispensing cannot be selec‐ ted with some programmes, depending on the detergent present in the TwinDos system. For example, automatic dis‐ pensing cannot be activated for the Woollens programme if the Miele 2 Phase System is being used. This pre‐ vents woollen garments being dam‐ aged by a detergent which is not suita‐ ble for washing wool.

TwinDos

Inserting cartridges/containers

washed, the automatic load recogni‐ tion system will reduce the amount of water and energy used.

– Use the Express 20 programme for

small, lightly soiled loads.

– Modern detergents make it possible

to wash at lower temperatures (e.g. 20°C). Washing using lower tempera‐ ture settings will save energy.

– To maintain the hygiene of the ma‐

chine, carry out a hot wash (60°C or above) using powder detergent at regular intervals. Hygiene info will ap‐ pear in the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash.

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.

When drying with a tumble dryer

Selecting the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme will save energy when drying in a tumble dryer afterwards.

EcoFeedback

You can call up information about the energy and water consumption of your washing machine with the EcoFeed‐ back sensor.

The following information will appear in the display:

– an estimate of the consumption be‐

fore the programme begins.

– the energy and water consumption to

date during the programme.

– the energy and water consumption of

the programme which has just been run at the end of the programme.

1. Estimate

 After selecting a programme, touch

the EcoFeedback sensor.

The estimated energy and water con‐ sumption levels will be displayed as bar charts.

2. Actual consumption

Tip: At the end of the programme, be‐

fore opening the door, you can view the actual amount of energy and water used by the programme which has just been run.

 Touch the EcoFeedback sensor.

If the door is opened or the washing machine has switched off automati‐ cally at the end of the programme, the data will revert to the estimated consumption.

Total consumption setting

– This setting gives a total of the ener‐

gy consumption and water consump‐ tion to date.

The more bars () visible, the higher the energy or water consumption.

The estimate will vary depending on the wash programme, temperature and any options selected.

The display will change automatically or you can return to the standard display by touching the OK sensor.

See "Settings".

1. Prepare the laundry

 Empty all pockets.

Tip: Badly soiled areas can be pre-trea‐ ted with liquid detergent, stain remov‐ ers etc. first, following the manufactur‐ er's instructions. With particularly stub‐ born stains ask your dry cleaner for ad‐ vice.

 If you use a solvent-based

cleaning agent (e.g. one containing benzine) to pre-treat a stain, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. but‐ tons) are protected, and that the cleaning agent is rinsed off before washing the garment in the machine.

 Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,

paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and to components in the machine.

Sort the laundry

 Sort the laundry by colour and by

care label. Most garments have a tex‐ tile 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-treat stains

 Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should

be cleaned as soon as possible, pref‐ erably whilst still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.

 Do not use solvent-based clean‐

ing agents in or on this machine.

General tips

– Curtains: Remove lead weights first

or place in a laundry bag.

– Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any

loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiff‐ eners, etc. should be removed or sewn in.

– Close any zips, attach velcro fasten‐

ers, fasten hooks and eyes etc. be‐ fore washing.

– Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases

etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.

Do not wash any items in this washing machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).

B. Selecting a programme using the programme selector at the "Further programmes" position and the dis‐ play:

 Turn the programme selector to the

Further programmes setting.

The following will appear in the display:

 Turn the programme selector to the

required programme.

The load for the programme selected will appear in the display. This will then be replaced by the standard display.

 Touch the  or  sensor until the

programme you want is highlighted in white.

 Confirm the programme with the OK

sensor.

The load for the programme selected will appear in the display. This will then be replaced by the standard display.

3. Load the washing machine

Open the door

 Reach under the door grip and pull

the door open.

 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.

Please note the maximum load for the different wash programmes. The rele‐ vant programme load is always shown in the display when you select a pro‐ gramme.

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.

Close the door

 Make sure that no items are caught

between the door and the seal.

 Shut the door with a gentle swing.
