Caring for our environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

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!

Rather than just throwing these materi als away, please ensure they are of fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incor rectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the cor rect functioning of your appliance or machine. Please do not therefore dis pose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

Warning and safety instructions

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They con tain important information on its sa fety, use and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machi ne.

Correct usage

Only use the washing machine to

wash items which are specified by the manufacturer to be machine-washable on the wash-care label, and textiles composed of hand-washable wool or wool blend fabrics as well as satin, lace, silk and other hand-washable garments. Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine,

check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install and use a da maged machine.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate match the mains electri city supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this machi

ne can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the ma chine and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present 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 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).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements. Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or re pair work has been carried out.

The machine is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply when:

–

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or

–

it is switched off at the mains, or

–

the mains fuse is withdrawn.

–

the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).

Warning and safety instructions

The Miele "Water protection sy

stem" 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 ma

–

chine must be examined by a com petent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.

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.

If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the ma chine 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.

Use

This equipment may only be used

in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk as sessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engi neer.

Do not install your washing machi

ne in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen ho ses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be im paired at temperatures below freezing point.

Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the transit fit tings at the rear of the machine have been removed (see section on "Installa tion"). During spinning, a transit fitting which is still in place may result in da mage to both the machine and adja cent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if the machi-

ne 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 laun dry.

Warning and safety instructions

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 de scaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. If in doubt, contact the Miele Customer Service Dept. or your Miele Dealer.

Textiles which have been pre-trea

ted in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.

Never use solvent based cleaning

agents, e.g. those containing benzene, 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.

Only use dyes specified by the ma-

nufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Colour run and dye removers con

tain sulphur compounds which can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in this machine.

Always make sure the drum is sta

tionary before reaching in to remo ve washing. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Safety with children

This machine is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury do not allow children to play on or near it or to play with the controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm, and supervise children whilst you are operating the machine.

For machines with a ‘porthole’

door, remember that the porthole glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Do not let children touch it.

Accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine,

switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appli ance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Description of the machine

Before using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly instal led and connected. See "Installation and connection". Also check that the drain filter is securely tightened to prevent the risk of water leaks during use.

Before using for the first time

The washing machine has a sensor which measures the amount of laundry in the drum. This determines the amount of detergent required. To allow the load size indicator to function correctly, you must first run a wash programme without any laundry hout detergent.

Before washing

A Sort the laundry

How to wash correctly

Do not use solvent-based clea

ning agents in this machine.

Sort the laundry by colour and by

care label symbol. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.

Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately se veral times before being washed toget her with other garments. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.

^ Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails,

coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.

^ Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and

cuffs, and water soluble stains can be pre-treated with bar soap, liquid detergent or detergent mixed into a solution or paste.

With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

Delicate textiles should be washed se parately in a delicates programme (use a washing bag where appropriate).

– Curtains:

Remove lead weights and strips 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.

–

Knitted garments, trousers and je ans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer.

–

Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing.

–

Fasten duvet covers to prevent smal ler items rolling up inside them.

Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label. (h symbol)

Saturation

Before the wash process begins, water is taken into the drum in order to satura te the pillows. The water intake ceases when the machine begins the run-up to spinning which causes the air to be evacuated from the pillows. Subsequ

ent water intake for the main wash is through the j compartment.

Omitting rinse and interim spin: Select Without spin.

Detergent

All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are sui table, including liquid, compact (con centrated), tablets, liquid tablets and special application detergents. Use dis pensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets are suitable for full loads but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets for smaller loads. Some tablets do not dis solve as rapidly as others and may not be suitable for Quick wash program mes.

Silks, woollens and knitwear containing wool mixtures and hand-washable garments should be washed using a liquid detergent specifically designed for washing woollens. Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk!

Instructions for use and recommended amounts for a full load are given on the detergent packaging.

Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufac turer for programmes without a pre-wash.

For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special contai ner from the Miele Spare Parts depart ment which sits in the main wash com partment j of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and to compartment i for the pre-wash.

The right amount to dispense will de pend on the following:

The quantity of laundry (follow the

–

machine’s dispensing recommenda

tion and reduce the amount of deter

gent with smaller loads as indicated on the display)

The soiling level of the laundry.

–

Lightly soiled Possibly slight body odour.

Normally soiled just a few slight stains.

– The water hardness level. Check with

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in extremely hard water areas. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener. Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water. Miele do not recommend connecting the machi ne to a household water softener.

Washing with several components

If you wash using several components (e.g. special application detergents), dispense them into compartment j in the following order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softener

3. Stain remover This way the agents are distributed more efficiently.

Detergent

Fabric conditioners and liquid starch

Fabric conditioners make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying.

Liquid starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen. N.B. Do not use liquid

starch for allergy sufferers.

Dispense according to the amount

specified on the packaging.

Automatic dispensing of fabric conditioner or liquid starch at the end of a programme

If liquid starch is used, it is extremely important to ensure that any liquid starch residues are removed from the machine before it is used to wash items for allergy sufferers.

After using liquid starch:

Cleaning and care

Extra cleaning

Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above) with powder detergent approx. every 6 weeks to help prevent deposits building up in the machine. These can occur when washing is mainly done at low temperatures, and also lead to unplea sant smells. If you have no reason to wash occasionally at this high tempera ture, then run a Cottons 95°C program me with detergent but no laundry at re gular intervals.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove detergent residues regularly.

Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaning agents. These might damage plastic surfa ces and other components because of the chemicals they contain.

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemi cals. It can be washed 300 times.

Pull out the detergent dispenser dra wer until a resistance is felt. Press down the release catch and at the same time pull the drawer right out of the machine.

Clean the detergent drawer with warm water.

Cleaning and care

Installation and connection

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable in stallation surface for a washing machi ne, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden flo orboards or a carpeted surface.

Please note the following points:

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 59x52x3 cm). The base

should span several joists and be

bolted to the joists and not only to the

floorboards. Check for the presence

of pipes and cables. If possible, install the machine in a cor-

ner, as this is usually the most stable part of the floor.

Installing the washing machine

To manoeuvre the machine out of its

packing case to its installation site hold

it by the edge of the lid where it protru des to the rear of the washing machine

as well as by the handle recesses at the front.

Do not lift the machine by the drum door.

Ensure that the machine feet and

the floor are dry to prevent the ma chine from slipping during the spin cycle.

Removing the transit bars

If the machine is installed on a raised plinth, it has to be secured against slippage during spinning using retaining clips (available from the Miele Spare Parts Dept).

To remove the left and right covers

1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the cover as illustrated.

2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

Installation and connection

Using the spanner supplied turn the

left-hand transit bar 90°, then

withdraw the transit bar.

Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,

then

withdraw the transit bar.

Installation and connection

Fit the covers on to the two holes.

Then plug the holes as shown with the caps.

The washing machine must not

be moved without the transit bars in place. Store the transit bars as shown or keep them in a safe place for future use. They must be re-fitted if the ma chine is to be moved again (e.g.when moving house).

Re-fitting the transit bars

Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the procedure.

Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure that holes b are fitted over retainers a.

Levelling the machine

The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and pro per operation.

Installation and connection

Using the spanner supplied turn

counter nut 2 in a clockwise direc tion. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.

Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about.

False values may also show in the Load and Detergent display.

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 deli vered.

^ Use a spirit level to check the machi-

ne 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 the danger of the machine moving about.

Installation and connection

Building under a continuous worktop/in a kitchen run

A special building under conversion

–

kit* is required. The machine lid must be replaced by a cover plate. To ensure electrical sa

fety the cover plate must be fitted. N.B. If you wish to push your machine under

a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid, the conver sion kit is not necessary. Otherwise the conversion kit is essential.

– For installation under a work surface

900/910 mm from the floor, a raising

kit* is required. – Connections for electricity, water and

drainage should be installed in such

a way that they remain accessible

when the machine is in place. Fitting instructions are supplied with the

conversion kit. All parts marked* are available from the

Miele Spare Parts or Sales Department.

The fitting of building under kits and stacking kits must only be underta ken by qualified and competent per sons, in accordance with the instruc tions supplied with the kit.

Washer and Dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. A stacking kit* is necessary and can be purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Please note

a Safety distance to wall:

at least 2 cm

b Height:

Stacking kit with pull-out shelf: approx. 169 cm Stacking kit without pull-out shelf: approx. 170 cm

The load size sensor must be cali brated to zero after the washing ma chine has been installed and con nected. See "Before using for the first time".

Replacing the lid

If the lid has been removed in order to fit a stacking kit or cover plate, ensure that, if the lid is replaced, it fits securely into the rear holders. Otherwise, it is not properly secure for transport.

Installation and connection

The Miele Waterproof system

The Miele Waterproof system protects the washing machine from water dama ge.

The system consists of three main com ponents:

1) the inlet hose

2) the electronic unit and the washing

machine housing

3) the drain hose

1) Inlet hose

– The inlet hose is fitted with an addi-

tional electrical safety valve which

works like an automatic stopcock

and is housed in the inlet hose con-

nection box. – It is pressure tested to between

7,000 and 10,000 kPa. – The inlet hose has a protective slee-

ve.

2) 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 safety valves, preventing any more water from flo wing 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.

3) Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied completely.

Any leaking water from the inlet hose is fed into the sump through this pro tective sleeve. A float switches off the safety valve, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.

Installation and connection

Connection to the water supply

The plastic casing of the safety

valve contains electrical compo nents. The Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stop cock. It must not be connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids rea ching it.

Do not get wet.

The machine should be connected to the mains water supply in accordance with local and national safety regula tions. The German authorities do not re quire it to have a non-return valve as the washing machine has been desig ned to comply with DIN regulations.

The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1,000 kPa (1-10 bar). 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

/4" thread. 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.

The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply and connection to a household water softener is not recommended.

The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked.

Maintenance and care

If you intend to unscrew the Miele Waterproof system hose from the stop cock it is essential to disconnect the machine from the electricity supply first.

Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement.

Installation and connection

In order to protect the water inlet val ve, the dirt filter in the water inlet val ve connection must not be removed.

Extension hose

A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose is available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department as an optional extra.

This hose is tested to withstand pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can be used as a flexible extension to the water supply.

N.B. Using this hose renders the Waterproof system safety valve on the inlet hose ineffective.

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 ex tended to a length of 5 m. The neces sary parts can be purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer.

* For a delivery head of more than 1 m (up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a second duo-drain pump is available with the corresponding kit from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin:

Please note the following

Hook the hose over the edge and se

–

cure. Make sure that the water can drain

–

away freely without hindrance. Other wise there is a risk of water overflo wing 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 standpipe.

4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
