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
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.

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).
