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 can normally 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 household waste.
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.
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.

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 most important that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele 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 Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised 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.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.
Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead or a multi-socket adapter. These do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger or overheating).
If this machine is being used in a commercial environment please ensure that all relevant health and safety regulations are obeyed.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 6.5 kg. See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in individual programmes.
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 and connection"). 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 container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

Warning 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 on the packaging. A special descaling agent is available to order from your Miele Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts 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, 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. Fire and explosion risk!
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Notes and tips on laundry care
1. Sort 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.
Removing marks
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Badly soiled areas 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.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this machine.
Sorting 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.

2. Load the drum
Switch the machine on with the On/ Off button .
The interior drum lighting will come on.
Press the button and open the drum door.
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.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the drum.
3. Select a programme
Select the most appropriate programme for the load being washed.
See "Programme chart" in the separate booklet supplied with the machine for details of which programmes are available.
