Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been 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. 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.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions

This washing machine complies with all current local and national safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washing machine. They contain important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the washing machine.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in “Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non­compliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
When instructing other people how to use the washing machine, they must be made aware of these Warning and Safety instructions.

Correct application

care label stating that they are suitable for machine washing. Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation of the machine.
This washing machine must be used as described in the operating
instructions and must be checked on a regular basis to make sure it is functioning correctly. Maintenance must be carried out when necessary.
The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.
7

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installing and operating the washing machine, check it for
any visible exterior damage. Do not set up or use a damaged washing machine.
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be
guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and, when there is any doubt, the on-site wiring system should be inspected 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 the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
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 washing
machine must be isolated from the electricity supply. It is only completely isolated if:
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
– the mains fuse is disconnected, or
– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.
For further information see “Installation - Electrical connection”.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.
The washing machine must be connected to the water supply
using the new hose set supplied with the appliance. Old hose sets should not be re-used. Check the hose regularly for signs of wear. Replace it in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and water damage.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply 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).
The machine must not be installed and operated in mobile
locations (e.g. on a ship).
Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical
data”.
If the washing machine is equipped with a mains plug, it must be
easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
If the appliance is hard wired, an on-site dual circuit breaker must
be accessible at all times in order to disconnect the washing machine from the mains supply. The means of disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be installed by a Miele authorised technician or by Miele.
Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine is only
ensured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

Correct use

The maximum load is 7.0kg (dry laundry). See the “Programme
chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.
Do not install your washing machine in a room where there is a
risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split, and 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 washing machine have been removed (see “Installation and connection – Removing the transit bars”). During spinning, transit bars which are still in place can cause damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time
(e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
If the ventilation openings are in the base of the washing
machine, ensure that they are not obstructed by deep-pile carpet or similar.
Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a laundry
washtub, check that the water can drain away fast enough to prevent the laundry tub from overflowing. Secure the drain hose against slipping. The force of the water flowing out of the hose can dislodge it.
Make sure that no foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper
clips) find their way into the machine with the laundry. Foreign objects can damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum). Damaged components can, in turn, 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 it, only use special non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. Special descaling agent is available from your Miele dealer or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions for the packaging.
For textiles that have been treated with solvent-based cleaning
agents, always check whether they can be washed in a washing machine. To check whether this is possible, refer to safety notes, information concerning the product's environmental compatibility, and other information.
Never use solvent-based detergents, e.g. those containing
benzine, in this washing machine. This may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion!
Gasoline, petroleum, kerosene, paraffin, or any easily flammable
liquid must not be stored or used near the washing machine. Risk of fire and explosion!
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Only use dyes suitable for use in a washing machine. Always
observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Dye removers contain sulphur compounds which can cause
damage such as corrosion. Dye removers must not be used in the washing machine.
Avoid contact between stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing)
and liquid detergents or disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can cause corrosion on stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive. Do not store open containers of these agents near the machine.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner or water jet to clean the
washing 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.
If detergent has come into contact with the eyes, rinse out
immediately with plenty of lukewarm water. If detergent has accidentally been ingested, seek medical advice immediately. People with damaged or sensitive skin should avoid contact with detergent.
When adding or removing laundry during the main wash, your skin
may come into contact with detergent, particularly if the detergent is dispensed externally. Take care when placing your hands inside the drum. If suds have come into contact with the skin, rinse off immediately with lukewarm water.
13
Warning and Safety instructions

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
machine. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Miele tumble dryers and Miele washing machines can be installed
as a washer-dryer stack. This requires a Miele washer-dryer stacking kit which can be purchased separately. Please ensure that the washer-dryer stacking kit is suitable for your Miele tumble dryer and your Miele washing machine.
If installing the machine on a Miele plinth (available as an optional
accessory), please make sure you order the correct one for this washing machine.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

1. Preparing the laundry

Emptying all pockets

Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips etc.) can cause damage to garments and to components in the machine.
Check the laundry before washing and remove any foreign objects.

Sorting the laundry

Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.

Pre-treating stains

Clean badly soiled areas and stains
on the textiles before washing. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents. Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents. If solvent-based cleaning agents are
used, an explosive mixture can form. Never use solvent-based cleaning
agents in the washing machine.

General tips

– Do not wash any items in this
machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
– Remove or sew in any loose
underwiring in bras or shirt collar stiffeners.
– Turn garments inside out, if
recommended by the manufacturer.
– Close any zips and Velcro fasteners
before washing.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
24
– Please refer to the Programme chart
for more tips.

2. Loading the washing machine

Opening the door

Reach under the door grip and pull
the door open.
Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading it with laundry.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely in
the drum.
Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.

Closing the door

Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
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 creasing.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
