Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater­ial
The packaging is designed to protect the washing 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

Correct use

Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk
of frost. 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 "Installation and connection - Removing the transit bars"). 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, pa-
per 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
Page 12
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
The maximum load for this washing machine is 8 kg (dry weight).
See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads for 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 it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent. Miele recommends using Miele descaling agent which is available to order online at www.miele-shop.com or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on the packaging.
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.
Do not 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.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine, to clean the surfaces of the machine. They can cause dam­age to plastic surfaces.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufac­turer's instructions carefully.

TwinDos

The washing machine has an integrated detergent dispensing unit.
The TwinDos system can be used in two ways:
1. with the Miele 2 Phase System
or
2. with any other liquid detergent and/or
fabric conditioner.
The Miele 2 Phase system
The Miele 2 Phase system uses a base detergent (UltraPhase1) and a deter­gent enhancer (UltraPhase2). In order to achieve optimum results, the agents are dispensed separately during the wash process. The 2 Phase system cleans both white and coloured textiles thoroughly. UltraPhase1 and UltraPhase2 single use cartridges are available to order from Miele or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (see end of this booklet for contact details).
Liquid detergent/Fabric conditioner
Refillable TwinDos containers are re­quired for liquid detergent and/or fabric conditioner. These are available to order from Miele or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (see end of this booklet for details).
How TwinDos works
Automatic detergent dispensing for a wash cycle is activated via the Dos  sensor.
Tip: The washing machine is delivered pre-set for the Miele 2 Phase system for hardness range II ().
The settings only need to be changed if you wish to use a different detergent or if the water hardness is different. See "Settings - TwinDos" for more in­formation.
Automatic dispensing cannot be selec­ted with some programmes, depending on the detergent present in the TwinDos system. For example, automatic dis­pensing cannot be activated for the Woollens programme if the Miele 2 Phase system is being used. This pre­vents woollen garments being damaged by a detergent which is not suitable for washing wool.

Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy us-
age are determined by the size of the load. To make the most 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 and energy used.
– Use the Express20 programme for
small, lightly soiled 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 ma-
chine, carry out a hot wash (60°C or above) using powder detergent at regular intervals. Hygiene info will ap­pear in the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent
– For precise dispensing use automatic
detergent dispensing.
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent recommended by the manufac­turer on the packaging.
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.

Touch the EcoFeedback sensor.
Touch the or to switch to the
water consumption display.
The consumption will alter as the pro­gramme progresses.
If the door is opened or the washing machine has switched off automatic­ally at the end of the programme, the data will revert to the estimated con­sumption.
Tip: You can view the consumption data for the last wash programme in Settings under Consumption.
The more bars () visible, the higher the energy or water consumption.
The estimate will vary depending on the wash programme, temperature and any options selected.
The display will change automatically or you can return to the standard display by touching the OK sensor.

1. Prepare the laundry

Empty all pockets.
Tip: Badly soiled areas can be pre­treated with liquid detergent, stain re­movers etc. first, following the manu­facturer's instructions. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
Solvent-based cleaners (e.g.
benzine) can damage plastic parts. When pre-treating garments, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g. but­tons) are protected from cleaning agent.
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.

Sort the laundry

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

Pre-treat stains

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.
Chemical (solvent-based) clean-
ing agents can cause severe damage to the washing machine.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this machine.

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.
– Close any zips, attach velcro fasten-
ers, fasten hooks and eyes etc. be­fore washing.
– Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
Do not wash any items in this washing machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).

Final spin speed in the pro­gramme
When a programme is selected the op­timum spin speed for that programme will appear in the display. For pro­grammes marked with a * in the chart, the optimum spin speed is not the max­imum spin speed.
You can reduce the final spin speed.
However, you cannot select a final spin speed higher than that shown in the chart.

Rinse and interim spin

There is a spin after the main wash and between the rinses. A reduction in the final spin speed will also reduce the in­terim spin speed. If a spin speed of less than 700 rpm is selected for the Cot- tons programme, an additional rinse is introduced.
34
Page 35

To omit the final spin (Rinse hold)

Use the Spin speed button to select
the setting (Rinse hold). The laun­dry is not spun after the final rinse and remains in the final rinse water. This helps prevent creasing if the laundry is not going to be removed from the drum immediately after the end of the programme.
– To start the final spin:
The washing machine will display the maximum spin speed possible. You can select a spin speed lower than this. Start the final spin by pressing the Start/Stop button.
– To end the programme:
Use the Spin speed button to select the 0 rpm setting (Without spin) and press the Start/Stop button.
The water will drain away.

Detergent

The correct detergent

All detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and dosage recommendations on the pack­aging.
For users in Asia: please use a low foaming detergent suitable for use in front-loading ma­chines

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

– the soiling level of the load
– the quantity of the laundry
– the water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in areas with water hardness levels II and III. Dispense according to the amount spe­cified on the packaging. First add deter­gent and then the water softener.

Dispensing aids

Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these are supplied with the detergent, particu­larly when using liquid detergent.

Refill packs of detergent

When purchasing detergent buy refill packs wherever possible. This helps re­duce the amount of waste packaging.

Fabric conditioner and liquid starch

Fabric conditioner makes garments soft to handle and helps prevent static cling when tumble drying.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laun­dry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.
You can then use the recommended amount of detergent for water hardness level I.

Water hardness levels

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Cause and 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.
Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea stains.
Use the Miele 2 Phase System. The targeted addi-
tion of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process re­moves stains effectively.
Use a general purpose powder detergent contain-
ing a bleaching agent.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
Use more detergent.Before washing the next load, run the Maintenance
wash using Miele machine cleaner or a powder de­tergent.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. These have ended up on the laundry.
Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry.
Wash dark textiles using a detergent which con-
tains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain no zeolites.
Use the Dark garments / Denim programme for
dark coloured laundry.

Opening the door in the event of a blocked drain outlet and/ or power failure

Switch off the washing machine.
Press the drain pump access panel.
The panel will spring open.

Blocked drain outlet

If the drain outlet is blocked, a large quantity of water can remain in the washing machine.
If laundry has been washed at a
high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot. Danger of scalding!
Take care when draining the ma­chine.

Procedure for draining the washing machine

When draining water from the ma­chine, do not unscrew the drain filter completely or take it right out.
Place a suitable container, e.g. a
Miele universal oven tray under the access panel.
Slowly and carefully unscrew the filter
to let the water out. Be careful not to release too much water at once. If the flow of water is too strong, some wa­ter can seep into the washing ma­chine base and activate the water protection float switch. This will pre­vent the washing machine from func­tioning.
Tighten the drain filter back up again
if you need to interrupt the flow of water.
Once the flow of water ceases:
69

Remove the drain filter completely.

Opening the door

Always make sure that the drum
is stationary before reaching in to re­move laundry. Reaching into a mov­ing drum is extremely dangerous.
Use a screwdriver to unlock the door.Pull open the door.
Clean it thoroughly.Remove any foreign objects (e.g. but-
tons, coins, etc.) and fluff from the fil­ter housing. Turn the impeller by hand to check that it rotates freely.

Installation and connection

Installation surface

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.
Please note: The machine must be level and se-
curely 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 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joist and not only the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first.
Tip: If possible, install the machine in a corner, as this is usually the most stable part of the floor.
Transporting the washing ma­chine to its installation site
To manoeuvre the washing machine out of its packing case to its installation site, hold it by the front feet as well as by the edge of the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the machine.
Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the ma­chine from slipping during the spin cycle.

Removing the transit bars

There is the danger of the wash-
ing machine moving about during spinning and falling off a plinth.
For this reason, if the machine is in­stalled on a raised plinth (concrete or brick), it has to be secured against slippage using an MTS floor/plinth mounting kit (available from Miele).
74
To remove the left and right covers
1. Pull on the attached stopper,
2. then use a screwdriver to release the catches at the top and bottom.
Page 75
Installation and connection
Using the spanner supplied, turn the
left-hand transit bar 90°, then
pull the transit bar out.
Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,
then
pull the transit bar out.
75
Page 76
Installation and connection
To avoid the risk of injury, the
holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed.
Plug the holes with the plastic caps
as illustrated.
Secure the transit bars to the back of
the washing machine. Make sure the top catch is located above the holder.
The washing 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).
76

Re-fitting the transit bars

Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the procedure.
Page 77

Levelling the machine

The washing 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.
Installation and connection
Use a spirit level to check that the
washing 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 counternuts must be
firmly up against the housing. Please also check this for the feet which did not need adjustment. Otherwise there is a danger of the machine moving about.
Using the spanner supplied turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.

Building under a continuous work­top/ in a kitchen run
Building under kits* must only be in­stalled/dismantled by a suitably qual­ified fitter in accordance with the in­structions supplied.
– A special building under kit* with a
cover plate to replace the machine lid is required. It must be fitted by a suit­ably qualified fitter to ensure elec­trical safety. N.B. If there is space to push the washing machine under the worktop without removing the lid, the building under kit is not necessary. Otherwise it is essential.
– Connections for electricity, water and
drainage should be installed in such a way that they remain accessible when the machine is in its final posi­tion.
Fitting instructions are supplied with the conversion kit.

Installation and connection

The water protection system

The Miele water protection system pro­tects all parts of the washing machine from water damage.
The system consists of three main com­ponents:
– the inlet hose
– the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
– the drain hose

Inlet hose

– Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand pressure of at least 7,000 kPa.

Electronic unit and washing machine housing

– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the machine. A float switches off the water inlet valves, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.
– Overflow protection
This prevents the washing machine taking in too much water. If the water level exceeds a certain level, the drain pump switches in and pumps the excess water away.

Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by a ventila­tion system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied com­pletely.
79
Page 80
Installation and connection

Connection to the water supply

The washing machine should be con­nected to a mains water supply in ac­cordance with current local and national safety regulations. The German author­ities do not require it to have a non-re­turn valve as the washing machine has been designed to comply with DIN reg­ulations.
The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1,000kPa. If it is higher than 1,000kPa it is essential to fit a pressure reducing valve.
Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock with ¾" threaded union. The stopcock should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
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

Only use a genuine Miele hose should you ever need a replacement or exten­sion. These are tested to withstand pressure of at least 7,000kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet valve, the two dirt filters (one in the open end of the inlet hose, the other in the inlet point in the machine) must not be removed.

Extension hose

Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are available from your Miele Dealer or Miele as optional extras.
The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.
80
Page 81
Installation and connection

Connection to the drainage system

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. If required, the drain hose can be exten­ded to a length of 5 m. The necessary parts can be purchased from your Miele Dealer or Miele.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m (up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacement drain pump will need to be fitted. Please contact Miele or your Miele Dealer for advice. If necessary, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 2.5 m. The necessary parts can be purchased from your Miele Dealer or Miele.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin.
Please note the following:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure.
– Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance. Otherwise there is a risk of water overflowing or of some of the drained water being sucked back into the machine.
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no need to use a non-return valve.
3. Connected securely to a floor gully.
4. Connected securely to a standpipe.
Please note:

Gentle action can be activated for the Cottons and Minimum iron pro­grammes.
Factory default setting: Gentle action is switched off.

Reduce temp.

The boiling point for water is lower at high altitudes. In order to avoid water boiling, Miele recommend activating the reduce temperature setting at alti­tudes of more than 2000m above sea level. The maximum temperature is re­duced to 80°C even when a higher temperature is selected.

Maximum rinse level

The water level in the rinse cycle can be permanently set to the highest value.
This function is useful for allergy suffer­ers as it achieves an excellent rinse res­ult. Water consumption will increase.
Factory default setting: the maximum rinse level setting is switched off.

Suds cooling

When this is activated, additional wa­ter flows into the drum at the end of the main wash to cool the suds down. Hot suds can damage plastic drainage pipes.
Suds cooling takes place when a tem­perature of 70°C or higher is selected for the Cottons programme.
Suds cooling should be activated:
– to prevent the danger of scalding if
the drain hose is hooked over the edge of a sink or basin.
– where drainage pipes do not comply
with DIN 1986.
Factory default setting: Suds cooling is switched off.

Factory default setting: Low water pres- sure is switched off.

Anti-crease

The anti-crease function helps prevent creasing if laundry is not going to be removed immediately after the end of the programme.
The drum continues to turn at intervals for up to 30 minutes at the end of the programme. The door can be opened at any time.
