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
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance
or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines often 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 appliance or machine. Please do
not therefore dispose 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

load) match the mains electricity
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine please read
these instructions carefully before
using it for the first time. They
contain important information on its
safety, use and maintenance.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.

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.

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.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine,

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

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected

supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.

when continuity is complete between
the machine 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).

guarantee the required safety of the
machine (e.g. danger of overheating).

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
appliance until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.

Warning and safety instructions

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.

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
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 machine guarantee.

Use

This equipment may only be used

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

Do not install your washing

machine in rooms 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 point.

Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the transit
fitting at the rear of the machine has
been removed (see section on
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit
fitting 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.
Otherwise this will result in flooding.

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.

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
descaling agents and strictly observe
the instructions on the packaging. If in
doubt, contact the Miele Customer Ser
vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.

Textiles which have been pre-

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

Never use solvent based cleaning

agents in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such
detergents also pose a fire and
explosion hazard.

Only use dyes specified by the

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

Colour run and dye removers

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

Always make sure the drum is

stationary before reaching in to
remove 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
appliance to prevent misuse. This
should be done by a competent
person.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by non­compliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.

Detergent

All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are
suitable, including liquid, compact
(concentrated), tablets, liquid tablets
and special application detergents.
Use dispensing 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
dissolve as rapidly as others and may
not be suitable for Quick wash
programmes.

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
manufacturer for programmes without a
pre-wash.

For programmes with a pre-wash you
will need to purchase a special
container from the Miele Spare Parts
department which sits in the main wash
compartment 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
depend on the following:

The quantity of laundry (follow the

–

machine’s dispensing
recommendation and reduce the
amount of detergent 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.

Heavily soiled
clearly visible.

– The water hardness level. Check with

your local water supplier if you do not
know the water hardness level in
your area.

No visible dirt or stains.

Visibly dirty and/or

Stains and soiling

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in
extremely hard water areas. Dispense

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
machine 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.

Fabric conditioners and liquid
starch

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

Starch stiffens and gives body to items
of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and
bed linen.

chemicals they contain.
The washing machine must not be
hosed down.

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
unpleasant smells. If you have no
reason to wash occasionally at this high
temperature, then run a Cottons 95°C
programme with detergent but no
laundry at regular intervals.

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
Part number 98013530, which is
suitable for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals. It
can be washed 300 times.

^ Clean the detergent drawer with

warm water.

Clean the siphon.

^

1. Remove the siphon from

compartment §. Wash under
running warm water. Clean the
siphon tube in the same way.

2. Replace the siphon.
Over time, detergent residue can build

up in the water jets in the top of the
detergent drawer housing.

^

Before replacing the detergent
drawer, use a bottle brush or similar
to clean them out.

36

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the filter in the water
inlet

The washing machine has a filter to
protect the water inlet valve.

open end of the inlet hose should be
checked every six months, or more
often if there are frequent interruptions
to the external water supply.

First turn off the stopcock.

^

Unscrew the threaded union

^

connecting the free end of the inlet
hose to the stopcock.

^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the

recess.

^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the

plastic filter bar 2 and remove.

^ Clean the plastic filter.
^

Put the filter and seal back in the
reverse order and reconnect the
hose.

Turn on the stopcock and check the
connection is watertight. If water drips
out, tighten the connection.

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 following points:

The machine must be level and

^

securely 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

corner, 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
protrudes to the rear of the washing
machine as well as by the handle
recesses at the front.

Please note:

Do not lift the machine by the drum

^

door.

Ensure that the machine feet and

,

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

Removing the transit fittings

,

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).

Store the transit bars 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).

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.

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
damage.

The system consists of three main
components:

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

additional electrical safety valve

which works like an automatic

stopcock and is housed in the inlet

hose connection box.
– It is pressure tested to between

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

sleeve.

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
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.

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
protective 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.

55

Installation and connection

Connection to the water supply

The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. The
Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. 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 reaching it.

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

Do not get wet.

56

Installation and connection

The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
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 reducer
valve.

Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock

3

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.

Maintenance and care

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

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

In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet
valve 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.

57

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 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

–

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 standpipe.

4. Connected securely to a floor gully.

58

Installation and connection

Electrical connection U.K.

All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person, in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.

cable with moulded plug ready for
connection to a 230-240V mains
supply. The voltage and connected
load are given on the data plate.
Please ensure these match the
household mains supply. The fuse
rating is quoted on the plug.

Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket which is easily
accessible after installation.

For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD), with a
trip current of 30 mA (in accordance
with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section

739).

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

The fuse cover must be refitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover
is lost, the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement cover
is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is
embossed in words on the base of the
plug (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).

Replacement fuses should be ASTA
approved to BS 1362 and have the
correct rating. Replacement fuses and
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical supplier.
