Caring for the environment

Disposing 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.
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.

Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old machine

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 or it
with your household waste.

It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person.

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.

– If smaller loads are washed using the

Cottons programmes, the automatic
load recognition system will reduce
the amount of water, time and energy
used.

Detergent

– Do not exceed the amounts of

detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.

–

Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads.

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.

The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed

~

when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and
regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the on-site wiring
system should be inspected 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 Miele 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.

In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine is

~

only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
–

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or

–

it is switched off at the isolator switch, or

–

it is switched off at the mains, or

–

the mains fuse has been withdrawn, or the screw-out fuse is
removed (in countries where this is applicable).

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 unit. These do not guarantee the

10

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.

11

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.

Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which

~

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

12

Warning and Safety instructions

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
machine.

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

~

It is particularly important to observe the 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

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).

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

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.

General tips

Curtains: Remove lead weights first

–

or place in a laundry bag.

– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:

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

– Knitted garments, trousers and

jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn
inside out, if recommended by the
manufacturer.

–

Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.

–

Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from
being rolled up inside them.

–

Further tips can be found under
"Programme chart".

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

22

Notes and tips on laundry care

2. Load the drum

Switch the machine on with the On/

^

Off button K.

Press the a button and open the

^

drum door.

The interior drum lighting will come
on.

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").

Pre-wash

For laundry with large amounts of dirt
(e.g. dust, sand).

Spin

Final spin

Laundry is spun after the final rinse.
The maximum final spin speed is
determined by the individual
programme and cannot be changed.
See chart.

Rinse and interim spin

There is a spin after the main wash and
between the rinses. You cannot alter
the spin speed.

Payment system

If your machine is connected to a
payment system, the amount of credit
required will appear in the display.

Credit will be lost if, after the
programme has started, the door is
opened or the programme cancelled
(depending on how the machine was
set up).

Short instructions

E 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 it 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.

Pull out the detergent drawer and

^

add detergent to the compartments
as follows:

how much water is being absorbed by
the laundry. The programme duration
may be shorter depending on this
absorbency rate.

The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The machine lets
you know which section of the
programme has been reached.

The drum lighting switches off once the
programme has started.

G Unload the drum

If laundry is not removed as soon as the
programme has finished, the
anti-crease phase will begin and the
drum will turn at intervals to help
prevent creasing.

Anti-crease will flash alternately with
Finish in the display.

The machine will switch off
automatically 15 minutes after the
end of the anti-crease phase. You will
need to press the K button to switch
it back on again.

Short instructions

Check that all items have been
removed from the drum. Items left in
the drum could discolour other items
in the next wash or become
discoloured themselves.

^ Check the folds in the door seal for

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

^ Close the drum door. Otherwise there

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

Problem solving guide

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Possible cause Remedy

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.

Textiles have
particularly
greasy soiling.

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.

–

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.

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

– Try and brush off the residues

with a soft brush once the

Installation and connection

Installing the machine

^ Remove the packaging and position

the machine where you want to use it.

Ensure the machine is stable

,

during transportation.

This washer-extractor is not suitable
for building under.

The machine must be permanently
connected to the electricity supply
so that the door can be opened. For
this reason, it must not be
connected to devices such as timers
which would switch it off
automatically.

Please place the sticker supplied, with
the following text, near your machine.
"The machine must be permanently
connected to the electricity supply so
that the door can be opened. Do not
open by force."

,Do not install the machine near

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

52

Installation and connection

Installation surface

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.

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 70 x 60 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.

Removing the transit bars

These must be removed before the

^

machine is used for the first time.

^ To remove the left and right covers

1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the

cover as illustrated.

2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

^

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

^

Using the notched end of the
spanner supplied, turn the left-hand
transit bar 90°, then

53

Installation and connection

withdraw the transit bar.

^

^

Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,
then

withdraw the transit bar.

^

To avoid the risk of injury the

,

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

^

Fit the covers onto the two holes.
Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.

54

Secure the transit bars to the back of

^

the machine. Make sure that holes b
are fitted over retainers a.

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).

Installation and connection

Levelling the machine

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.

Re-fitting the transit bars

Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.

^

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

55

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.

,

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.

Securing the machine to prevent it
slipping

If the machine is installed on a plinth,

^

secure both front feet on the washing
machine using e.g. fixing brackets
(optional accessory).

Installing the machine on
vessels

On other types of floor structures (in
cases where the washing machine is
being installed on sea-going vessels,
for example), the fixing materials must
be provided on site.

When installing the machine on
sea-going vessels, the appliance must
be secured to prevent slipping and
tipping, by fastening it to the floor of the
vessel. (This can be done by welding
socket retainers to the floor of the
vessel, for instance.)

56

^

Secure all four of the washing
machine's feet.

Installation and connection

Washer-dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked
on top of this washer-extractor. A "WTV"
stacking kit (optional accessory) is
required for this.

The stacking kit must be fitted by a
Miele authorised service technician.

Replacing the lid

If the lid to the washer-extractor has
been removed to stack it with a tumble
dryer, this must be replaced securely
when the washer-dryer stack is
dismantled.

Installation on a raised plinth

The washer-extractor can be installed
on a steel plinth (open or closed,
available as an optional Miele
accessory) or on a concrete plinth.

If the machine is installed on a

,

plinth, it must be secured using e.g.
fixing brackets. Otherwise there is
the danger of the machine moving
and falling off the plinth during
spinning.

Payment system

This washer-extractor can be fitted with
a payment system (optional accessory).

The payment system can be set up by
the Miele technician or authorised
dealer when the machine is
commissioned.

Coins / tokens must be removed
from the coin box regularly,
otherwise it will become blocked.

57

Installation and connection

Plumbing

The machine must be connected to the
water supply in strict accordance with
current local and national water
authority regulations.

UK only:
This machine is a WRAS approved
product. To comply with WRAS
requirements, this machine must be
connected to the potable water
supply via the non-return valves
supplied with it.

The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 1 and
10 bar (100 kPa and 1,000 kPa). At
higher water pressures it is essential to
fit a reducer valve.

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

The machine is supplied as standard
with two hoses, for connection to a cold
or a hot and cold water supply.

Connection to the cold water supply

The cold water inlet hose (blue
stripes) must be connected to the
on-site cold water supply via a 3/4"
threaded union. It is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.

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.

Maintenance and care

Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement. Miele
hoses are tested to withstand pressure
of at least 70 bar (7,000 kPa).

In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filters - one in the
open end of the inlet hose, one at
the inlet point in the machine - must
not be removed.

Extension hose

58

Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from your Miele dealer or the
Miele Spare Parts Department as
optional extras.

Installation and connection

Connection to the hot water supply

To keep electricity consumption costs
down this machine can be connected
to a (ring) piped hot water supply.
The maximum temperature must not
exceed 70°C.

It is not economical to run it from an
individual hot water supply if it is not in
continuous use, as the water in the
supply pipes cools down and more
energy would be required to reheat the
water.

For hot water connection the same
conditions apply as for cold water
connection.

The inlet hose with the red stripes (hot
water hose) is connected to the
stopcock.

For operational reasons the machine
must not be connected to hot water
only.

Connection to a very hot water
supply

It is possible to connect the machine to
a very hot water supply, 70°C to a
maximum of 85°C. A special inlet hose
is required. The machine must also be
reprogrammed by a Miele service
technician or Miele authorised service
dealer.

If the machine is not connected to a hot
water supply, the hot water inlet hose
must be disconnected and the water
settings for the main wash, pre-wash
and rinses must be reprogrammed.

^

Select the cold option in the Settings/
Supervisor menu.

The programme durations may be
longer.

^

Disconnect the hot water hose (red
stripes).

^

Plug the hole with the blanking cap
supplied.

59

Installation and connection

Water drainage

Dump valve version

A motorised dump valve is used to
drain the machine. A DN 70 angle
connector can be used for draining the
machine via an on-site gully (with odour
trap). N.B. If not supplied with the
machine, an angle connector is
available to order from Miele.

Machines with a drain pump

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

1. Connected securely to a plastic

drain pipe with a rubber nipple.
There is no need to use a non-return
valve.

2. Connected securely to a standpipe.

3. Connected securely to a floor gully.

If required, the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 5 m. The
necessary parts can purchased from
the Miele Spare Parts Department or
your Miele dealer.

60

Electrical connection

All electrical work must be

,

carried out by a suitably qualified
and competent person in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations (BS 7671
in the UK).

Installation and connection

If the machine is disconnected

,

from the electricity supply adequate
measures must be taken to ensure
that the machine cannot be
reconnected to the electricity supply
until all work has been carried out.

The machine must only be operated
with the voltage, frequency and fuse
rating shown on the data plate supplied
with the machine. Please ensure these
match the site mains supply.

We recommend connecting the
machine to the power supply via an
IP44 plug and socket which must be
easily accessible for servicing and
maintenance work after the machine
has been installed.

For hard-wired machines, connection
should be made via a suitable mains
switch with all-pole isolation which
when in the off position ensuresa3mm
gap between all open contacts.

For extra safety and protection we
recommend connecting the machine by
a 30 mA residual current device (RCD).

An electrical safety test must be carried
out after installation and after any ser
vice work.

The mains connection cable may only
be replaced by an original Miele spare
part.

-

This machine can to be

,

converted to a different voltage.
Please observe the switching
instructions given on the wiring
diagram. Conversion may only be
carried out by a Miele authorised
service dealer or Miele technician.
If the machine has been converted,
the heater rating must also be
adapted.

,

The machine must be
permanently connected to the
electricity supply so that the door
can be opened. For this reason, it
must not be connected to devices
such as timers which would switch it
off automatically.
