Warning and safety instructions

Read the operating instructions before using this machine for the first time. They contain important information about the safety, use and maintenance of the machine. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine.

Correct usage

Only use the washing machine to

wash items which are specified by the manufacturer to be machine-washable on the wash-care label, and textiles composed of hand-washable wool or wool blend fabrics as well as satin, lace, silk and other hand-washable garments. Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation.

This appliance should not be

operated by children. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine,

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

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity

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

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the machine and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Do not connect the appliance 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).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements. 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 engineer. Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.

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it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or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 withdrawn.

Warning and safety instructions

The Miele "Waterproof system"

protects from water damage provided the following conditions have been met:

the machine is correctly plumbed in

–

and connected to the electricity supply.

if a fault has been identified, the

–

machine must be examined by a competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.

If the connection cable is faulty it

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

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the 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 washing. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the washing.

Page 8

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,

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.

Before using for the first time

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 any 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.

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.

–

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 non-machine washable on the care label. (h symbol)

E Load the drum

Unfold the laundry and load loosely

in the drum. To achieve best results it is advisable to make up mixed loads consisting of both large and small items. This improves the washing effect and helps distribute the load evenly to keep the machine stable and reduce the noise level during spinning.

Take the level of soiling and also the water hardness into account. It is important to dispense the correct amount because . . .

Liquid detergent

Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufacturer for programmes without a pre-wash. For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special container from the Miele Spare Parts department which sits in the main wash compartment j of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and to compartment i for the pre-wash.

. . . 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.

Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergent to the compartments as follows:

i = Detergent for pre-wash

(if selecting a pre-wash add of the total amount recommended) This compartment is

also used for starch formula-

tions when starching separately.

Detergent

All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable, including liquid, compact (concentrated), tablets, liquid tablets and special application detergents. Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets are suitable for full loads but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets 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.

^ Add detergent to the compartments

as follows:

i = Detergent for pre-wash

(if selecting a pre-wash add of the total amount recommended) This compartment is

also used for starch formula-

tions when starching separately.

j = Detergent for the main wash

including Soak.

§ = Fabric conditioner or liquid starch.

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

–

The quantity of laundry (follow the machine’s dispensing recommendation and reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads as indicated on the display)

The soiling level of the laundry.

–

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

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

Heavily soiled Stains and soiling clearly visible.

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

1. Detergent

2. Water softener

3. Stain remove This way the agents are distributed

more efficiently.

Page 33

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 con ditioner or liquid starch to laundry at the end of a programme

If starching frequently, the dispenser compartment and especially the siphon tube and conditioner channel will need regular cleaning to remove any residual starch. See "Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer". Do not add starch formulations or viscous liquid starch to the § compartment as it will clog it up. See "Adding starch separately".

Cleaning and care

Disconnect the appliance from

the mains electricity supply and withdraw the plug from the socket prior to cleaning the machine.

Clean the casing with a mild

non-abrasive detergent or soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Clean the fascia panel with a damp

cloth and wipe dry with a soft cloth. The drum can be cleaned using a

suitable proprietary stainless-steel cleaning agent.

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. The washing machine must not be hosed down.

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.

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.

Cleaning and care

Clean the siphon.

1. Remove the siphon from

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

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.

Page 54

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

Page 55

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.

Page 56

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.

False values may also show in the Load % and Detergent % display.

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.

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 proof to between 70

and 100 bar.

– 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 appliance. 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 59

Connection to the water supply

Installation and connection

The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. The Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it.

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

Do not get wet.

Page 60

Installation and connection

The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with local and national safety regulations. The German authorities do not require it to have a non-return valve as the washing machine has been designed to comply with DIN regulations.

The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 1 and 10 bar. If it is higher than 10 bar it is essential to fit a reducer 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 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

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 140 bar and can be used as a flexible extension to the water supply.

N.B. Using this hose renders the Water proof system safety valve on the inlet hose ineffective.

Page 61

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.
