Correct application

This washing machine is not designed for commercial use. It is

intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments.

The washing machine is not intended for outdoor use.

It must only be used as a domestic appliance to wash items

which are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the care label. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation of the washing machine.

The washing machine can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Children 8 years and older may use, clean or maintain the

washing machine without supervision only if they have been shown how to do so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the

machine unless they are constantly supervised.

The washing machine is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do

not allow children to play with it or near it, or to play with the controls.

For machines with a 'porthole' door, remember that the porthole

glass will be hot when washing at high temperatures Do not let children touch it.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

This washing machine must only be connected to the on-site

water supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used.

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

Correct use

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.

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. 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.

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 outside surfaces of this 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.

Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which

can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in this machine.

If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them

thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

–

the programmable functions

–

Programme duration

After the start of a programme, the estimated programme duration will appear in the display in hours and minutes.

When delay start is being used, the programme duration will appear after the delay start time has elapsed.

During the first 10 minutes the washing machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry and uses this to calculate the load. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate.

Delay start

The delay start time selected will appear in the display.

After the machine has started, the delay start time counts down. If the delay start time is more than 10 hours, it will count down by the hour. If it is less than 9 hours and 59 minutes it will count down minute by minute.

Once the delay start time has finished, the programme begins and the estimated programme duration shows in the display.

Programmable functions

The programmable functions can be used to tailor washing programmes to suit your individual requirements. In programming mode, the display will show the function selected.

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

This washing machine has undergone a complete functional test at the factory and there will be some residual water in the drum from this process.

For safety reasons, spinning is not possible until the machine has been prepared for using for the first time. To activate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without laundry and without detergent.

Before using for the first time

Using detergent could result in an excessive build-up of foam.

This also activates the ball valve. The ball valve prevents detergent escaping from the suds container into the sump during a wash programme, thus making maximum use of the detergent.

Open the stopcock.

Press the K button.

Turn the programme selector to Cottons 60°C.

Press the Start button.

At the end of the programme switch the machine off.

The washing machine is now ready for use.

Washing environmentally and economically

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 maintenance light will 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.

Reduce the amount of detergent with

–

smaller loads (approx.

/3less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).

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 very 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.

Brief instructions

The headings numbered A, B, C,... show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions.

A Sort the laundry

^ 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, 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!

Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturer's instructions. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

How to wash correctly

If you use a solvent-based

cleaning agent (e.g. one containing benzene) to pre-treat a stain, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) are protected, and that the cleaning agent is rinsed off before washing the garment in the machine.

Do not use solvent-based

cleaning agents in or on this machine.

Sort the laundry by colour and by

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

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.

– 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.

–

Knitted garments, trousers and jeans, 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 etc. to prevent small items from being rolled 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)

How to wash correctly

B Switch on the washing machine

C Load the drum

Press the Door button to open the

drum door.

Unfold the laundry and load loosely

into the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.

The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.

Make sure that items do not get caught between the drum door and the seal.

D Select Delay start (if required)

Make sure that the programme selector is at the , Finish position.

Press the Start button to set the delay

start time.

E Select a programme

^ Turn the programme selector to the

required programme.

If delay start has not been selected, the estimated programme duration will appear in the display.

Shut the door with a gentle swing.

F Select any Extra option(s)

Each press of the top button selects the Extra options in the following order: Short, Pre-wash, Soak or no option.

Use the lower button to select the Water plus Extra option.

^ Select the Extra option you require.

Not all Extra options are suitable for use with every programme.

G Select a spin speed

Press the "Spin" button repeatedly

until the indicator light for the spin speed you want comes on.

You can only select Extra options which are compatible with the programme being used.

How to wash correctly

H Add detergent

It is important to dispense the correct amount, because...

. . . too little detergent results in:

Laundry not getting properly clean

–

and and in time becoming grey and hard to the touch.

Greasy particles clinging to the

–

laundry.

Limescale deposits on the heater

–

elements.

. . . too much results in:

– Excessive foam which causes a low

level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results.

– Higher water consumption (an

additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in).

– A burden to the environment.

Pull out the detergent drawer and

place detergent in the compartments as follows:

Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the total recommended amount as follows: add

and

/3to compartment j).

/3to compartment i

Detergent for the main wash, including Soak if selected

Fabric conditioners or liquid starch

Close the detergent drawer.

See "Detergent" for further information.

I Start the programme

Press the flashing Start button.

If a delay start time has been selected, then this will count down in the display. At the end of the delay start time or im mediately after the programme has started (if a delay start time has not been selected) the estimated programme duration will appear in the display. During the first 10 minutes the machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate.

J Unload the drum

When the programme has finished, the Anti-crease/Finish indicator light will come on.

The washing machine will switch off automatically 15 minutes after the end of the anti-crease phase. You will need to press the K button to switch it back on again.

How to wash correctly

Check the folds in the door seal for

any small articles, e.g. buttons, which might be lodged there.

^ Switch the washing machine off with

the K button and turn the programme selector to Finish.

^ Close the drum door. Otherwise there

is the danger of objects being placed inadvertently in the drum. If these remained unnoticed and were washed in the next load, they could damage the laundry.

Press the Door button to open the drum door.

Remove the laundry.

Check that all items have been removed from the drum. Items left in the drum could discolour other items in the next wash or become discoloured themselves.

Detergent

The correct detergent

All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. 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 programmes with short durations.

Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk! Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the detergent packaging.

Refill packs of detergent

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

Water softeners

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

Miele branded water softening tablets are available from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water.

Washing with several components

If you wash using several components (e.g. special application detergents), we recommend always dispensing the agents into compartment j in the following order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softener

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed more evenly.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing

1. Remove the siphon from

compartment § and rinse under hot running water. Clean the siphon tube in the same way.

2. Replace the siphon.

If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the siphon and siphon tube regularly. A build-up of liquid starch will cause them to get clogged.

^ Use a bottle brush to remove

detergent residues and limescale from the jets inside the detergent dispenser drawer housing.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the water inlet filters

The washing machine has two filters to protect the inlet valves.

These filters should be checked every six months or so, or more often if there are frequent interruptions to the water supply.

To clean the filter in the union in the open end of the inlet hose:

First turn off the stopcock.

Unscrew the inlet hose from the

stopcock.

To clean the filter in the water inlet valve:

Using pliers, carefully loosen the

ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve and unscrew.

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Possible cause 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.

Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.

The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. They have ended up on the laundry.

Use a general purpose

Problem solving guide

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

Switch the washing machine off.

There is a lever behind the detergent drawer fascia panel.

^ Remove the lever.

Caution: if laundry has been

washed at a high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot. Danger of scalding!

Procedure for draining the machine

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 system float switch. This will prevent the washing machine from functioning.

Use it to open the access flap.

Blocked drain outlet

If the drain outlet is blocked, up to 25 litres of water will be retained in the machine.

Place a suitable container under the access flap.

When draining water from the machine, do not unscrew the drain filter completely or take it right out.

Slowly and carefully unscrew the drain filter to let the water out.

If you need to interrupt the flow of water:

Tighten the drain filter back up again.

Once the flow of water ceases:

Remove the drain filter completely.

^ Clean it thoroughly.

Problem solving guide

Make sure the drain filter is

securely tightened. Otherwise there is a risk of water leakage during use.

To avoid loss of detergent, pour approx. 2 litres of water into the detergent dispenser drawer after cleaning the drain filter. Excess water will be pumped out automatically before the next wash programme.

Opening the drum door

Always make sure that the drum

is stationary before reaching into the machine to remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Remove any foreign objects (e.g. buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff from the filter housing. Turn the impeller by hand to check that it rotates freely. Any foreign object causing an obstruction should be removed.

Put the drain filter back in place and secure.

Pull the emergency release downwards (see illustration). The drum door will open.

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.

Ensure that the machine feet and

the floor are dry to prevent the machine 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). Otherwise there is a danger of the machine moving and falling off the plinth.

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.

To avoid the risk of injury the

holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed.

^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.

Then plug the holes as shown with the caps.

Installation and connection

Secure the transit bars to the back of

the washing machine. Make sure that holes b are fitted over retainers a.

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).

Re-fitting the transit bars

Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the procedure.

Installation and connection

Levelling the machine

The 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.

Use a spirit level to check the

machine is standing level.

^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe

wrench. Turn counternut 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.

Using the spanner supplied turn counternut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counternut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.

The fitting of building-under kits* and stacking kits* must only be undertaken by qualified and competent persons, in accordance with the instructions supplied with the kit.

Building under a continuous worktop/in a kitchen run

If you wish to push your machine under a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid, the conversion kit is not necessary. Otherwise the conversion kit is essential.

– A special building-under conversion

kit* is required. To ensure electrical safety, the washing machine lid must be replaced by the cover plate supplied with the conversion kit.

Installation and connection

Washer and Dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. A "WTV" stacking kit* is necessary.

Please note:

– 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 your Dealer, the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com.

Installation and connection

The Miele water protection system

The Miele water protection 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 tested to withstand pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.

2) Electronic unit and washing machine housing

– Sump

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 is collected in a sump in the base of the machine. A float switches off the safety valves, preventing any more water flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.

Connection to the water supply

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 kPa 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

/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.

Installation and connection

In order to protect the water inlet valve, the two dirt filters - one in the open end of the inlet hose, one at 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 the Miele Spare Parts Department as optional extras.

The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.

Maintenance and care

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.

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 purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer.

* 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 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.

Please note:

a Adapter

b Nut

c Hose clip

d End of the hose

^ Fit adapter a to the sink drain outlet

using nut b.

^ Attach the end of the hose d to

adapter a.

Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip c up close to the nut.

–

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.

Installation and connection
