Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mate­rial
The cardboard box and packing materi­als protect the appliance during ship­ping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Dan­ger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials. They also contain certain substances, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these mate­rials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. There­fore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with regular household waste and follow local regulations on proper disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or Miele in order to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. Miele assumes no responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance being disposed. Please en­sure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal. Ob­serve safety requirements for appli­ances that may tip over or pose an en­trapment hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons while
using your appliance follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by pro­viding a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate out­let that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all lo­cal codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor may result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a quali­fied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Do not install or use a washer with visible damage.Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to
the weather.
Do not install your washing machine 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.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to the
power supply. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance is not designed for maritime use or for use in mo-
bile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical Service Dept. with specific requirements.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating in­structions.
If the power cord is damaged it must only be replaced by a Miele
Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot
water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDRO­GEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes before using the washing machine. This will release any built-up hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time, the gas is flammable.
Before the appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove
the door.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close super-
vision is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
The drum door glass will be hot when washing at very high tem-
peratures. Do not touch the glass. Danger of burns! Keep children away from the washer when in use.
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 be dangerous.
Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned, washed,
soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable substances. These articles give off vapors that could ig­nite or explode. Do not add these items to the wash load.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors which could ignite or explode.
Do not use cleaning solvents on or near the machine or the con-
trols. Contact with cleaning solvents will damage the surface..
Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.Do not tamper with the controls.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Miele Tumble Dryers and Miele Washing Machines can be in-
stalled 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 the Miele Tumble Dryer and the 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.
If detergent has come into contact with the eyes, rinse out imme-
diately 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.
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 should only be installed by a Miele authorized technician or by Miele Technical Service.
The maximum dry laundry weight is 17.6lbs (8kg). See the “Pro-
gram chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual pro­grams.

1. Preparing the laundry

Emptying pockets

Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.
Check the laundry before washing and remove any such foreign ob­jects.

Sorting the laundry

Sort the laundry according to color
and the garment care label.

Pre-treating stains

Badly soiled areas and stains should
be cleaned as soon as possible. Stains should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colorfast cloth.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents. Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating a stain, make sure that plastic parts do not come into contact with cleaning agents.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents. When using solvent-based cleaning
agents, an explosive mixture may develop.
Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing machine.

General tips

– Do not machine wash items which
are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label().
– Curtains: Remove rollers and lead
weights or place in a laundry bag.
– Sew in or remove any loose under-
wiring in bras.
– Turn garments inside out, if recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
– Zip up or close any jackets with Vel-
cro or hook and eye fastenings before washing.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from becoming rolled up inside them.
22
– Please refer to the “Program chart”
for more tips and tricks.

2. Loading the washing machine

Opening the door

Reach under the door grip and pull
the door open.
Check the drum for foreign objects before loading it with laundry.
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.

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 gently.
