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 should 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!
Disposal 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
Technical safety
~
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged washing machine.
~
Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the household 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).
~
Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
~
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.
~
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection" and "Technical data".
~
The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to disconnect the washing machine from the electricity supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
~
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 the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
~
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.
~
The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage provided the following conditions have been met:
– the machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the
electricity supply.
– if a fault has been identified, the machine must be examined by a
competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.
~
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
~
This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
~
Do not make any alterations to the washing machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
~
The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 8 kg. See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in individual programmes.
~
Do not install your washing 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 washing 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.
~
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
~
The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 8 kg. See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in individual programmes.
~
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 the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com.
~
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.
~

This washing machine is suitable for operating with automatic detergent dispensing unit AWD 10.
The detergent dispensing unit and the washing machine work together via the Automatic detergent dispensing option. For this to function correctly you will need to set some settings in the washing machine's electronics.
How automatic detergent dispensing works
If you select automatic dispensing for a wash programme, the washing machine will help you by selecting the correct detergent container and dosage of detergent. The washing machine calculates the amount of detergent required, based on the dosage set, the amount of laundry it measures in the drum and the level of soiling entered for the load. The correct amount of detergent will then be dispensed automatically.
The automatic dispensing option may not be available for some programmes, depending on which type of detergent is present in the containers. For example, if the containers are filled with a universal powder detergent and a liquid detergent for coloureds, it will not be possible to activate automatic dispensing for the Woollens programme. This prevents woollen garments from being damaged by being washed with the wrong type of detergent.
Two of the settings in the washing machine's electronics must be set.
1) The Detergent type present in the
containers.
The following options are available:
Universal powder detergent
Liquid detergent for coloureds
Liquid detergent for delicates
Liquid detergent for delicates and woollens
2) The Dosage of detergent for
normally soiled laundry.
Do not add any specialist detergents to the containers, e.g. proofing agent, detergent for outdoor wear. Dispense these types of detergents by adding them to the detergent dispensing drawer.

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.
When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the automatic load recognition system will reduce the amount of water, time and energy used. This may mean that the time left shown in the display is adjusted during the course of the wash programme.
– Use the Express 20 programme for
small loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g 20°C). Washing using lower temperature settings will save energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the
washing machine carry out a hot wash (60°C or above) using powder detergent at regular intervals. The
Hygiene info message will appear in
the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent
Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry.
For precise dispensing use the auto
-
matic detergent dispensing unit.
Choosing the correct Extra option (Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Short extra option for light soiling where there are no obvious marks.
– A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak extra option for heavily soiled laundry.
The Pre-wash extra option for laundry with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust, sand).
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.
