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

Old appliances contain materials which
can be recycled. Please contact your
dealer, your local waste collection
centre or scrap merchant about
potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. See the appropriate
advice in the "Warning and safety
instructions".

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 appliance is not a toy! To

avoid the risk or 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,

Warning and safety instructions

This machine must only be

connected to the on-site water
supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses
must not be re-used. Check the hose
regularly for signs of wear and tear.
Change in good time to avoid the risk of
leaks and subsequent damage.

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
appliance 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 appliance guarantee.

Use

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk
assessment of the installation being
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.

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.

Always make sure the drum is

-

stationary before reaching in to
remove washing. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous.

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
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

The laundry is not spun after the final

straight into the anti-crease stage.
Spinning between the rinses is also
omitted in this setting (rinse and
interim spin).

Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See the
relevant section under "Installation".
Also check that the fluff filter is
securely tightened. Otherwise there
is a risk of water leakage during use.

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.

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.

How to wash correctly

Before washing

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, 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.

Do not use solvent-based

,

cleaning 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
several times before being washed
together with other garments. Always
wash whites and coloureds separately.

Delicate textiles should be washed
separately 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
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts:
Turn inside out, if recommended by
the manufacturer.

–

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

20

–

Fasten duvet covers to prevent
smaller 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)

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 by
proportion to suit smaller loads!
Woollens and knitwear containing wool
mixtures and hand-washable garments
should be washed using a detergent
specifically designed for washing
woollens.
Silk 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

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
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 water hardness level.

–

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

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 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

The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:

–

The quantity of laundry.

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed
more efficiently.

29

Detergent

Fabric conditioners and liquid
starch

Fabric conditioners make garments soft
and fluffy 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.

Dispense according to the amount

specified on the packaging.

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

If starching frequently, the dispenser
compartment and especially the

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.

33

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer

Remove detergent residues regularly.

^ Pull out the detergent dispenser

drawer 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.

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.

34

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 threaded union

^

connecting the free end of the inlet
hose to 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.

^ Use water pump pliers to withdraw

the plastic filter by the bar (see

illustration). Clean, put back and

secure.

^

Remove the rubber seal 1 from the
recess.

^

Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar 2, remove the filter
and clean.

^

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 it leaks,
tighten the connection.

The two filters must be put back in
place after cleaning.

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 spin 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.

47

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.

48

Fit the covers on to the two holes.

^

Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.

Installation and connection

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
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.

49

Installation and connection

Levelling the machine

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

Using the spanner supplied turn

^

counter nut 2 in a clockwise
direction. 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.

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 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.

a cover plate. To ensure electrical

safety 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
conversion 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
undertaken by qualified and
competent persons, in accordance
with the instructions 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:

51

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 can 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 appliance. A

float switches off the safety valves,

preventing any more water flowing

into the machine and water in the

suds container is pumped away.

52

Installation and connection

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
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.

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
and connection to a household wa
ter softener is not recommended.

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.

-

53

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.

Installation and connection

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

If this machine is fitted with a
non-rewireable plug, the following
information applies:

If the socket outlets are not suitable for
the plug supplied with the product, it
must be cut off and an appropriate plug
fitted. The fuse carrier and fuse should
be removed from the old plug and
disposed of.

The old plug should then be disposed
of and on no account be inserted into
any socket elsewhere in the house
(electric shock hazard).

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
