Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The packaging is designed to protect
the machine from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
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
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.

Disposing 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
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
general waste.

Energy saving tips

Energy and water consumption

Water consumption and energy

–

usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.

Detergent

– Do not exceed the amounts of

detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.

– Reduce the amount of detergent for

smaller loads.

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.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

maintained (in accordance with local and national health and safety
regulations) by carrying out suitable validation tests. Disinfection
programmes must not be interrupted, as this can have a limiting
effect on the disinfection result.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

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

~

damage.
Do not install or use a damaged machine.

The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed

~

when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

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 approved service technician.
If this is not done, any resultant damage will not be covered by the
guarantee.

Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after
maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to

~

do so by Miele.

The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the

~

event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.
See also "Electrical connection".

This machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply

~

using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used. Check the
hose regularly for signs of wear. Change in good time to avoid the
risk of leaks and subsequent damage.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

~

original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele
guarantee the safety standards of the machine.

Do not use force to open the washer-extractor drum door. The

~

door handle is fitted with a safety device to ensure that the door lock
functions correctly.

If this machine is being used in a commercial environment please

~

ensure that all relevant health and safety regulations are observed.

This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.

~

on a ship).

10

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Do not install your machine in rooms where temperatures below

~

freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability
of the electronic 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 section on
"Installation"). 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.
Shake out wash cloths before placing them in the machine to ensure
that any coarse or harmful residues are removed. These may
damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum),
which in turn can 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
the machine only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents
and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. A special
descaling agent is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or your Miele dealer.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

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, 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
explosion hazard.

Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not

~

be stored or used near the machine. Danger of fire and explosion.

Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for

~

use in a washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer's
instructions carefully.

Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which

~

can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in
this machine.

Avoid contact of stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing) 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
appliance.

Do not use a high pressure cleaner or hose to clean the machine.

~

It is particularly important to observe manufacturer's instructions

~

when using a combination of cleaning agents and special
application products. Products must only be used for applications
approved by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the
occurrence of strong chemical reactions.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

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
upper surface of stainless steel and cause corrosion to components.
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. The use of hydrogen peroxide or an
oxygen based cleaning or bleaching agent is recommended and
the laundry should not be drained in between.

With thiosulphate, especially when used with hard water, gypsum
can form, which can lead to incrustations on laundry or deposits in
the machine. The use of hydrogen peroxide is preferable as it aids
the chlorine neutralising process.

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 check whether it
contains any residual active chlorine.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Disposing of your old machine

Before disposing of an old machine it is important to disable the

~

door lock. This way you will prevent children from accidentally
locking themselves in and endangering their lives.

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

How to wash correctly

Brief instructions

The headings numbered (A, B,
C,...)show the operating sequence

and can be used as brief instructions.

A Preparing the laundry

Empty all pockets.

^

Foreign objects (e.g. nails,

,

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

Pre-treating stains

^ Clean any stains as soon as possible,

preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.

Stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea etc.) can
be pre-treated with liquid detergent,
stain removers etc. first, following the
manufacturer's instructions. With
particularly stubborn stains ask your
dry cleaner for advice.

Preparing mops, cloths etc.

Shake mops, cloths and pads out

^

well to get rid of coarse soiling before
placing them in the drum.

Sort the laundry

Sort the laundry by colour and by

^

care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.

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.

General tips

– Curtains: Remove lead weights first

or place in a laundry bag.

– Close any zips, fasten hooks and

eyes etc. before washing.

– Please refer to the Programme chart

for more information.

^

On/Off button K.

^ Pull the handle to open the door.

How to wash correctly

^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely

in the drum. Mixing both large and
small items gives better wash results
and also helps distribute the load
evenly during spinning.

Do not use force to open the door.
The door handle is fitted with a safety
device to prevent damage to the lock
(see "Problem solving guide, The
door will not open").

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.

How to wash correctly

D Add detergent

Take the level of soiling and water
hardness into account.

Too little detergent results in:

Laundry not getting properly clean,

–

and with time may become grey and
hard to the touch.

Greasy particles clinging to laundry.

–

Limescale deposits on the heater

–

elements.

Too much detergent results in:

Excessive foam which causes a low

–

level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.

– A burden to the environment.

See "Detergent" for further information.

This machine is set up for
connection to an optional external
dispensing system for dispensing
liquid agents (see "Detergent ­External dispensing system").

Programme sequence

This machine has fully electronic
controls with automatic load
recognition. It takes in the right amount
of water required for the programme
depending on the amount of laundry
and its absorbency rate. This means
that programme cycles and durations
can vary.

The programme sequences outlined in
the chart are based on the basic
programme with a full load. Additional
options which can be selected have
not been taken into account.

The display shows the stage the
programme has reached.

Pre-spin

In the Standard, Standard plus,
Thermal disinfection and Chemo
thermal disinfection programmes, mops

are spun briefly after the programme
start.

Pre-wash / pre-rinse

Some programmes include a Pre-rinse
cycle to remove coarse soiling and
detergent residues. In cases of very
heavy soiling, an additional Pre-rinse or
Pre-wash cycle can be selected
depending on the programme.

34

Detergent

Detergent dispensing

Please follow the detergent
manufacturer's instructions.

Instructions for use and recommended
amounts for a full load are given on the
detergent packaging.

The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:

The size of the load

–

– The soiling level of the load

– The water hardness level.

Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.

Washing with several
components

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

1. Detergent

2. Water softeners

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed
more evenly.

Colour run and dye
removers/dyes

range

I (soft) 0 - 1.5 0 - 8.4

II (medium) 1.5 - 2.5 8.4 - 14

III (hard) Above 2.5 Above 14

mmol/l °dH

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in hard
water areas. 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.

^ Do not use colour run or dye

removers in this machine.

Dyes suitable for use in a washing
machine can be used. However, please

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Possible cause Remedy

Problem solving guide

Liquid detergent
does not give the
required result.

Grey, greasy
particles cling to
washed laundry.

White residues
which look like
powder detergent
are seen on dark
textiles after
washing.

Liquid detergents
usually contain no
bleaching agents.
They do not remove
fruit, coffee and tea
stains.

Insufficient amounts
of detergent were
used to break down
the particles of
grease in heavily
soiled laundry.

The detergent
contained
compounds (zeolites)
to aid water softening
which are not soluble
in water. They have
ended up on the
laundry.

Use a general purpose detergent

–

containing a bleaching agent.
Pour stain removers into

–

compartment j of the dispenser
drawer and liquid detergent into
a dispenser ball.

Never put stain removers and

–

liquid detergent together in the
dispenser drawer.

– Use more detergent.
– Before washing the next load run

a 60°C programme with powder
detergent but without a load.

– Try and brush off the residues

with a soft brush once the laundry
is dry.

– Wash dark textiles using a

detergent which contains no
zeolites. Liquid detergents
usually contain no zeolites.

Textiles have
particularly
greasy soiling.

–

Select a programme with pre-wash. Use a liquid
detergent for the pre-wash and a powder detergent for
the main wash.

The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in the
main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing. Consult
detergent producers for advice.

47

Problem solving guide

Installing the machine

^ Transport the machine to where you

want to use it.

,Ensure that it is stable during

transportation.

,Do not lift it by the door.

,

The washer-extractor is not

suitable for building under.

55

Installation and connection

Installation on a raised plinth

The washer-extractor can be installed
on a steel plinth (open or closed) or on
a concrete plinth.

If the machine is installed on a

,

plinth already present on-site, it
must be secured using clamps .
Otherwise there is the danger of the
machine moving about and falling
off the plinth during spinning.

^ Secure the front feet of the machine

with the clamps supplied.

^ Follow the fitting instructions

supplied.

56

Installation and connection

Installation surface

Do not install the machine near

,

or directly above an open gully or
floor drain. Moisture from these can
penetrate the machine and damage
the electric components.

Ensure that the machine feet

,

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

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 carpeted
surface.

Removing the transit bars

^ Release the catch and turn the left

hand transit bar clockwise by 90°.

^ 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 69 x 87 x 3 cm). The base
should span several joists and be
bolted to the joists and not only to the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.

If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.

^ Then withdraw the transit bar.

57

Installation and connection

Release the catch and turn the right

^

hand transit bar anti-clockwise by
90°.

To avoid the risk of injury the

,

holes for the transit bars must be
covered after they have been
removed.

^

Then withdraw the transit bar.

^ Plug the holes with the plastic caps

supplied.

,The machine must not be moved

without the transit bars in place.
Store them as shown or keep them
in a safe place for future use. They
must be re-fitted if the machine is to
be moved again (e.g. when moving
house).

,

When moving the machine make

sure it is stable.

Re-fitting the transit bars

Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.

58

Levelling the machine

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

The machine must stand

,

perfectly level on all four feet to
ensure safe and proper operation.

Incorrect installation may increase
electricity and water consumption and
may cause the machine to move about.

Screwing out and adjusting the feet

The four adjustable screw feet are used
to level the machine. All four feet are
screwed in when the machine is
delivered.

Installation and connection

^ Use a spirit level to check the

machine is standing level.

^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe

wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again
using the spanner supplied until it
sits firmly up against the housing.

^

Using the spanner supplied, turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise
direction. Then turn counter nut 2
together with foot 1 to unscrew.

,

All four counter nuts must sit
firmly up against the housing.
Please also check this for the feet
which did not need adjustment.
Otherwise there is the danger of the
machine moving about.
