IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The machine is built in accordance with current safety requirements. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by improper use of this appliance.

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. Doing so will prevent injury and damage to the dryer.

Save these instructions and pass them on to any future user.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

Technical Safety

Check the packaging, the washer

and accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) match the mains electrical supply. If in doubt contact an electrician.

The appliance must be grounded. It

is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met.

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electrical supply with an extension cord. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user which is not covered by the manufacturer. Repairs should only be performed by a Miele approved technician.

Ensure power is not supplied to the

appliance while maintenance or repair work is being performed. The machine is only completely isolated from the electrical supply when it is turned off at the main switch and the plug is pulled or by tripping the circuit breaker.

Connect the washer, to the water

mains. Do not use old hoses. Inspect the intake hoses regularly for damage. They should be replaced as needed to prevent water damage.

Faulty components must only be

replaced with genuine Miele spare parts to maintain safety standards. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.

If the power cord is damaged it

must only be replaced by a Miele Ser vice technician with a genuine Miele power cord.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use

The washer must be operated,

maintained and checked for function on a regular basis according to the Operating and Installation instructions.

Only use the washing machine to

wash items which are specified by the manufacturer to be machine washable on the fabric care label. Any other applications may cause undesirable results. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of the appliance.

Do not wash articles that have been

previously cleaned, washed soaked or spotted with gasoline, organic substances dry-cleaning solvents, or any other flammable substances. These articles give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Do not add these items to the washload.

This appliance is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the shipping struts at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation"). If the shipping struts are still in place during spinning, damage may result to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the water supply if the

machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. vacation).

Overflow hazard!

Check that the drain can accommodate the water flow before operating the washer. Make certain the drain hose is secured in the drain, otherwise the force of the expelled water could cause the drain hose to come out of the drain.

Be sure that foreign objects (e.g.

nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine. These items may damage the machine, which may also cause damage to the laundry.

Persons which lack physical,

sensory or mental abilities or experience with the machine should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Do not install this machine in rooms

where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If the correct amount of detergent is

dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If the washer needs to be descaled, use a descaling agent with corrosion protection. These special descaling agents can be purchased from the Miele Service department. Use as directed.

Never use solvent based cleaning

agents in this machine, this may result in damage and create toxic fumes. They will present a fire and explosion hazard.

Items which have been pre-treated

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

Only use dyes specified by the

manufacturer as being suitable for use in a washing machine. Use as directed by the manufacturer.

Dye removers may contain sulphur

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

The drum door glass will be hot

when washing at very high temperatures. Do not touch the glass. Danger of burns!

The stainless steel casing must not

come in contact with liquid cleaning or disinfection agents containing chlorine. They may cause corrosion. Do not store open containers of this agent next to the machine.

Children

Close supervision is necessary

when the appliance is used near children. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.

Do not let children access the

appliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm. If allowing older children to use the appliance without supervision please ensure that they are aware of how the appliance works and understand the dangers of improper use.

Installation

Installation site

The washer cannot be built-in.

Do not install the machine

directly next to or over an open floor drain or drain channel. Moisture can penetrate the machine and damage electrical parts.

A concrete floor is the most suitable surface for the washer. Concrete floors are less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floors.

If the machine is installed on a

masonry or concrete base it must be secured with retaining clips to prevent the washer from vibrating off the stand during the spin cycle.

^ The machine must be leveled and

securely positioned.

Installation

Use the front washer feet and the

rear excess end to transport the

washer from its shipping pallet to the

installation site.

Do not lift the washer by the drum

door.

Ensure that the machine’s feet

and the floor are dry to prevent slippage during the spin cycle.

Removing the shipping struts

^ To avoid vibration while spinning, the

machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.

In case the installation must be on a wooden joist floor:

Install the unit on a 27

/16" (70 x 60 x 3 cm) plywood base. Ideally the base should be large enough to span several joists and should be anchored to the joists and not just the floor boards.

It is best to install the washer in the corner of a room, where the stability of the floor is at its greatest.

Fasten the shipping struts at the rear side of the washer. Take care to insert the drill holes, b, into the clamps, a.

Page 50

Installation

Leveling the washer

To ensure smooth operation the washer must be level.

Failure to level the machine can result in increased water and energy consumption as well as the washer "banging" during the spin cycle or "walking" across the floor during use.

Adjust the four leveling feet

The washer is leveled by adjusting the four feet. The machine is boxed with the feet completely screwed in.

^ Turn the locking nut, 2, counter-

clockwise with the enclosed combination wrench. Unscrew each of the four feet as much as necessary by turning both the foot, 1, and the locking nut, 2, to the left.

^ Check that the machine stands level.

Once level, hold the foot, 1, steady with a wrench. Turn the locking nut, 2, with the combination wrench towards the machine.

All four locking nuts must be tight against the bottom of the machine. In addition, check to see that the feet were not inadvertently unscrewed while tightening the nuts. Running a machine that is not level or whose feet are not tight may cause damage to both the machine and its surrounding area.

The water intake hoses are equipped with screen filters. Do not remove these filters except for cleaning.

Page 52

Installation

Hot water connection

Connecting the machine to a hot water supply will lead to low electrical consumption during hot water operation. The hot water temperature at the water faucet must not exceed 158°F (70°C). The water in single water lines from the hot water source cools faster when not in constant use. To heat the wash water more electricity must be used. The same conditions for the hot water as for the cold water connection will then apply.

^ Connect the hot water intake hose

(red mark) to the water faucet.

The connection of the machine to a hot water line only, is not possible for functional reasons.

If the washer is not to be installed for hot water connection, the settings "Main wash", "Pre-wash" and "Rinse" must be adjusted respectively. The hot water intake hose must be removed.

Select in "Settings - Supervisor level"

the respective extras "cold".

The program times may be extended.

Drainage

There are two drainage extras for this machine:

Drain valve

The machine is drained with a motorized drain valve. A connection can be made to an on-site floor drain (gully with an air gap) on an angle.

Drain pump

The wash water is drained using a pump witha3ft(1m)delivery height. Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose. The elbow on the end of the drain hose can be turned or removed if necessary.

Possible connections:

1. Directly into a sink: Hook the hose

over the edge of the sink and secure it firmly (e.g. by tying the hose to the water faucet).

If necessary the drain hose can be extended up to 16’ 5" (5 m). The hose extension can be purchased from your Miele dealer or Miele.

2. To a stand pipe: Place the drain

hose into a 1 and secure it firmly.

3. To a floor drain: The machine is

equipped with an air gap/ anti-siphoning system so that no minimum drain height is required.
