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

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 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.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine,

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

the data plate match the mains electricity 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 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).

extension lead. Extension leads do not 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 machine until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data on

The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed

Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an

The machine is built in accordance with current safety requirements.

Page 7

Warning and Safety instructions

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 disconnected, 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.

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 and 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.

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 or split. 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 fittings at the rear of the machine have 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.

Page 8

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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 Service 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, 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 machine 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.

Before using for the first time

For safety reasons, spinning is not possible until the machine has been set up for using for the first time. To activate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without laundry. This will also fill the dispensing system tube with liquid detergent.

Priming the liquid detergent dispensing system

See "Installation and connection Dispensing unit" for instructions on how to install and connect the dispensing unit.

Add liquid detergent up to a

maximum of 1 cm below the top rim (approx. 5 litres).

Close the lid so that the liquid

detergent does not dry out and to prevent any foreign objects getting into the container.

How automatic liquid detergent dispensing works

If you start a programme using auto matic dispensing, the washing machine will calculate how much detergent to dispense according to the dosage level set, the amount of laundry in the drum and the degree of soiling specified. This means that the correct amount of detergent for the load will be dispensed automatically.

If the Pre-wash extra option has been selected, the washing machine will automatically divide the amount of detergent to be dispensed into the correct proportions for the pre-wash and the main wash. the pre-wash and

Liquid detergent dispensing

Useful tips

The correct liquid detergent

You can fill the container with any brand of liquid detergent. However, it is advisable to fill it with the brand you tend to use most frequently.

Make a note of the brand name of the liquid detergent below to remind you of the name when you need to buy some more.

Brand name

Refilling

If you want to continue using the same brand of liquid detergent, you can simply refill the container, in which case it is not necessary to clean it out.

Filling the container with a different brand

Do not mix brands of liquid detergent. This can give a poor wash result and cause the detergent to separate.

Clean the container as described in

"Cleaning and care". Make sure you alter the dosage level

if a different dosage to the previous one set is recommended by the manufacturer.

Degrees of soiling

Light

: No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight body odour.

Normal: Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.

Heavy: Stains and soiling clearly visible.

Very heavy: Stains and soiling clearly visible which have been there for a while and dried on.

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 clean

ing agent (e.g. one containing ben zene) 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.

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)

C Load the drum

Press the

Door

button to open the

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.

Programme sequence

This machine has fully electronic controls with automatic load recognition. It takes in the right amount of water required for the programme depending on the amount of laundry and its absorbency rate. This means that programme cycles and durations can vary.

The programme sequences outlined in the chart are based on the basic programme with a full load. Extra options which can be selected have not been taken into account.

The display shows the stage the programme has reached.

Special features in the programme sequences:

Anti-crease: At the end of every programme, with

the exception of the

Woollens

programme, the drum continues to turn at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help prevent creasing. The door can be opened and laundry removed at any time during the anti-crease phase.

Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse without detergent is carried out automatically to remove dust.

Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is carried out before the wash process begins to deflate the pillows. Subsequent water intake for the main wash is through compartment j.

A second rinse is carried out when a temperature of 60°C to 95°C has been selected. A third rinse is carried out when a temperature below 60°C is selected.

A third/fourth rinse is carried out if:

–

there is too much foam in the drum

–

a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has been selected

–

No spin

A third rinse is carried out if:

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 amounts for a full load are given on the detergent packaging.

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

The soiling level of the laundry

–

Lightly soiled No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight body odour.

Normally soiled Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.

Heavily soiled Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on soiling.

– The quantity of the laundry (use

Automatic dispensing).

– The water hardness level.

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

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.

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), we recommend always dispensing the agents into compartment j in the following order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softeners

3. Stain remover This way the agents are distributed

more evenly.

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.

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

If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the dispenser compartment, especially the siphon tube and fabric conditioner channel, regularly. See "Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer". Do not use powder starch formulations or viscous liquid starch in the § compartment as it will clog up. See below.

Adding fabric conditioner or starch separately

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.

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 surfaces 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 chemicals. It can be washed 300 times.

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.

Page 42

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the siphon and conditioner channel

1. Remove the siphon from

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

2. Replace the siphon.

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

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing

Clean the fabric conditioner channel using a brush and warm water.

^ Use a bottle brush to remove

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

Page 43

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the dispensing unit

The container should be cleaned each time you change brand of liquid detergent.

Cleaning the container and lid

Do not use solvents, abrasive

cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaning agents. These might damage plastic surfaces and other components because of the chemicals they contain.

^ Remove the container from its base. ^ Remove the lid. ^ Rinse the container with hot water to

remove any detergent residues.

^ Clean the container and lid with a

mild non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the dispensing tube

It is not normally necessary to clean the dispensing tube.

After refitting the container, sufficient detergent for 2-3 washes will still be in the system. After that the new detergent will be used.

However if you have had any problems with the old detergent (e.g. you have had to change brand because of an allergic reaction), you will have to dismantle the dispensing tube and rinse it out thoroughly.

After cleaning, the dispensing tube must be primed with detergent again and the dosage level must be set. See "Before using for the first time

- Priming the liquid detergent dispensing system" and "Liquid detergent dispensing - Dosage level".

Clean the valve in the bottom of the container.

Remember to reset the detergent dosage level if you change brand of liquid detergent.

Page 44

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the filter in the water inlet

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

The accessible filter in the union in the 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.

Never forget to put the filter 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 first. If possible, install the machine in a

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

Transporting the machine to its installation site

To manoeuvre the machine out of its packing case to its installation site, hold it by the front feet as well as by the edge of the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the washing machine.

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).

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

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 counter nuts must sit 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

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.

Page 65

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.

Do not get wet.

The machine should be connected to the 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 (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 protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked.

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

Page 66

Installation and connection

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.

Page 67

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.

Page 68
