Caring for the 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. Therefore,
please do not 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 the
appliance or the machine to prevent
misuse.

Warning and Safety instructions

This washing machine is not
This washing machine conforms to
current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however,
lead to personal injury and damage
to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the washing machine,
please read these instructions
carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important
information on its installation, safety,
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.

Correct application

The washing machine is designed

~

exclusively for domestic purposes and
must only be used to wash garments
which have been declared suitable for
washing by the manufacturer indicated
on the garment care label.
Any other use may be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.

~

intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning its use by a
person responsible for their safety.

Safety with children

Keep children away from the

~

washing machine at all times. It is not a
toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play on or near it or to
play with its controls. Supervise
children whilst you are using it.

Older children may only use the

~

washing machine if its operation has
been clearly explained to them and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.

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.

The washing machine is not

~

intended for outdoor use.

6

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
rated load) 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
continuity is complete between it and
an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety 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 washing

~

machine to the mains electricity supply
by an extension lead. Extension leads
do not guarantee the required safety of
the appliance (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.

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.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.

If the connection cable is faulty, it

~

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

In the event of a fault or for cleaning

~

purposes, the washing 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, or the

screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

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.

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 machine
warranty.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

This washing machine must not be

~

installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).

Do not make any alterations to the

~

washing machine unless authorised to
do so by Miele.

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"). 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 tap if the machine is to

~

be left for any length of time (e.g. holi
day), 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.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

If the corect amount of detergent is

~

dispensed, the machine should not
need to be descaled. If, however, you
do wish to descale the machine, only
use Miele Descaler for washing
machines and strictly observe the
instructions on the packaging. If in
doubt, contact Miele or your Miele
Chartered Agent.

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, 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.

Never use solvent-based cleaning

~

agents, e.g. those containing benzene,
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 liquid detergent comes into

~

contact with the eyes, rinse them
thoroughly with lukewarm water imme
diately. 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 liquid detergent.

Only remove laundry from the

~

washing machine once the drum has
stopped turning. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous
and could result in injury.

-

Accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

~

when expressly approved by Miele. If
other parts are used, warranty,
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.

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.

Use the Automatic and Express

–

programmes for small loads.

When smaller amounts of laundry are

–

washed using the Cottons
programme, 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.

– Using the Cottons 40°C program is

recommended for a normally soiled
load and is the program used in
energy/water consumption tests to
AS/NZS 2040 (refer to Consumption
Data)

–

Hot water connection is an option on
this machine. Please refer to the
chapter "Settings Menu" for
programming details. Hot water
connection offers the following
advantages:

- decreased running time

- increased energy savings with
greenhouse-friendly hotwater
such as solar-heated systems.

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 for

–

smaller loads. Use the Load/
Detergent button.

Choosing the correct Extra option
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)

Select:

– A wash programme together with the

Short extra option for light to normal
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 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.

15

How to wash correctly

Brief instructions

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

A Sort the laundry

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 this machine.

Sort the laundry by colour and by

^

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

^ 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.

Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately
several times first. 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.

–

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

Select any extra options by pressing

^

the appropriate button. The relevant
indicator light will come on to show
which extra option has been
selected.

^ Press the Further extras button to

select the following extra options
(depending on the programme
selected): Soak, Rinse hold and Extra
rinse.

The display shows the amount of
laundry loaded in the drum asa%(in
25% steps) of the maximum load
permissible for the programme
selected.

Unfold the laundry and load loosely

^

in 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 no garments are
caught between the drum door and
seal.

Not all the extra options are suitable for
use with every programme.

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

E Load the drum

How to wash correctly

F Add detergent

When the door is closed, the load size
indicator will be replaced with the
detergent percentage display.

Detergent 75%

A

Back A

The percentage shown relates to the
amount of detergent recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.

40% = Add slightly less than half

the amount recommended

50% = Add half the amount

recommended

60% = Add slightly more than half

the amount recommended

75% = Add three quarters of

the amount recommended

100% = the full amount of detergent

recommended

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

. . . too little detergent results in:

Laundry not getting properly clean

–

and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.

Greasy particles clinging to the

–

laundry.

Limescale deposits on the heater

–

elements.

. . . too much detergent results in:

Excessive foam which causes a low

–

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

– High water consumption (an

additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).

– A burden to the environment.

You also need to take the level of
soiling and water hardness into
account.

the end of the delay start time or
immediately after the programme has
started (if no delay start time has been
selected) the estimated programme
duration will appear in the display.
During the first 8 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.

The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The machine lets
you know which section of the
programme has been reached.
