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 to prevent misuse.

Warning and Safety instructions

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

This washing machine is designed for domestic use and for use

in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts. It 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.

The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.

This washing machine is not 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.

This washing machine must not be installed and operated in

mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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.

Please refer to the information in "Installation and connection" and

"Technical data".

The accesibility of the plug must be always ensured in order to

separate the washing machine from the mains.

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. 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.

Do not make any alterations to the washing machine unless

authorised to do so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The maximum load capacity is 8 kg (dry laundry). See the

"Programme chart" for the specific load capacities of individual programmes.

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. 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.

Be careful when opening the drum door after using the steam

function. There is the danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperatures on the surface of the drum and door glass. Step back and wait until the steam has dissipated.

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 Miele Descaler for washing machines and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. If in doubt, contact Miele or your Miele Chartered Agent.

Fabrics that have been treated with solvent-based cleaning

agents must be rinsed out in water before washing in the washing 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.

Dyes need to be suitable for use in your washing machine and

can only be used in domestic quantities. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Sulphur compounds in dye removers can cause corrosion. Dye

removers must not be used in the washing machine.

If detergent comes into contact with eyes, rinse out immediately with lukewarm water. If swallowed, see a doctor immediately. Persons with skin wounds or sensitive skin should avoid contact with washing detergent.

Warning and Safety instructions

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this

appliance. If non-Miele parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated.

Miele tumble dryers can be stacked with Miele washing

machines. To enable this, a stacking kit can be purchased from Miele as an optional accessory. Please ensure that you order the correct stacking kit to match the washing machine and tumble dryer combination.

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

Automatic dispensing

This washing can be operated in conjunction with the automatic detergent dispensing unit AWD 10.

The dispensing unit and the washing machine work together via Automatic detergent dispensing. For a perfect interaction, some settings in the electronics of the machine need to be affected.

How automatic detergent dispensing works

If automatic detergent dispensing is selected, the washing machine helps to select the correct dispensing container and detergent dosage. The washing machine calculates the required amount of detergent with the help of the entered dosage, the laundry load detected, and the specified level of soiling. The amount of detergent will be dispensed automatically during the washing process.

Two settings in the electronics need to be considered.

1) The type of detergent in the

containers.

The following types of detergent can be selected:

Universal

–

Colour

–

Delicates

–

Delicates & Woollens

–

2) The amount of detergent for

normally soiled laundry.

Do not add special detergents, e.g. proofing agent, outdoor clothing detergent, to the containers. Add these detergents to the detergent dispenser drawer for appropriate programmes.

Depending on the detergent, automatic detergent dispensing cannot be selected in some programmes. For example, if a universal detergent and a colour detergent have been added to the containers, automatic detergent dispensing cannot be activated during the Woollens programme. This prevents woollen fabrics being damaged by the wrong detergent.

Setting type of detergent

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 enable washing

at reduced temperatures (e.g. 20°C). Use appropriate temperature settings for saving energy.

– To maintain hygienic conditions in

the washing machine, it is recommended that you occasionally run a wash with a temperature of at least 60°C. The message in the display reminds you to do this.

Hygiene Info

Detergent consumption

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.

Use the automatic detergent

–

dispensing unit for the precise dosage.

Choosing the correct Extra (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

Extras 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).

–

Using the Cottons Eco 40°C programme is recommended for a normally soiled load and is the programme used in energy/water consumption tests in accordance with AS/NZS 2040 (refer to Consumption data).

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.

1. Preparing the laundry

Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails,

coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.

Sorting the laundry

^ 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.

Removing marks

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!

Stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea etc.) can often be removed with brief tips, which can be found in Miele's guide to laundry care. You can order this guide directly from Miele or from www.miele.com.au.

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.

General tips

– Curtains: Remove reels and curtain

weights or place in a 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 and pillow cases 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).

Load/Detergent

3. Load the laundry

Press the / button to open the drum door.

The Load / Detergent sub-menu will appear in the display.

The washing machine has a sensor which measures the amount of laundry placed in the drum. The display shows the percentage of the maximum load which has been placed in the drum. The maximum load will depend on the programme selected. In addition to the load size precentage, the amount of detergent required is also shown as a % figure.

The load is shown in the display in 25% steps. Loads of less than 25% or an empty drum are shown as amount of laundry exceeds the maximum load, Drum overloaded will appear in the display.

^ 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 size of the load will appear in the display.

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.

Shut the door with a gentle swing.

4. Adding detergent

A. Automatic detergent dispensing

The values set in the electronics refer to the Miele CareCollection products (UltraWhite and UltraColor) for the water hardness range (0 - 8.4°d). If the water hardness range is different or if you are using a different detergent, the values in the electronics will need to be adjusted (see "Automatic dispensing").

Select the Automatic detergent dispensing option.

4. Adding detergent

Using stain remover

When automatic detergent dispensing is selected, the compartments i and j in the detergent dispenser drawer are not rinsed out with water.

How to add stain remover:

1. Fill a dispensing aid (detergent ball) with stain remover and place this in the drum.

2. Switch off automatic detergent dispensing. Dispense the detergent and the stain remover via the detergent dispenser drawer.

Using fabric conditioner or liquid starch

Fabric conditioner and liquid starch can be added to the § compartment in the detergent dispenser drawer. These will automatically be dispensed in the last rinse.

B. Detergent dispenser drawer

Please note:

Use the information in the display for the correct detergent dispensing.

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

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

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

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.

4. Adding detergent

Pull out the detergent drawer and

add detergent to the compartments as follows:

Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the total recommended amount as follows: add compartment i and compartment j)

/3to

Detergent for the main wash, including Soak if selected

Fabric conditioner or liquid starch

Close the detergent dispenser drawer.

See "Detergent" for further information.

Adding or removing laundry after a programme has started

^ Press the / button to open the drum door.

^ Add or remove items.

^ Close the drum door.

The programme will continue automatically.

Please note:

Once a programme has started, the machine cannot recognise any adjustment to the load.

For this reason, if laundry is added or removed after the start of a programme, the machine will always complete the programme cycle assuming a full load.

This can increase the programme running time shown in the display.

The door cannot be opened if:

–

the suds temperature is above 55°C.

–

the water is above a certain level.

–

the programme has reached the Spin stage.

If you press the / button when the above conditions are present, the following will appear in the display:

/ Door locked

After the programme has finished, the following will appear alternately in the display:

Anti-crease

and

Programme finished. Unload the drum before switching off

After using the steam function,

there is a danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperatures on the surface of the drum and door glass. Step back and wait until the steam has dissipated.

^ Press the / button to open the drum

door.

^ Remove the laundry.

6. At the end of a programme

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

The machine will switch off automatically 15 minutes after the end of the Anti-crease phase. Push the K button to switch the machine back on.

^ Check the folds in the door seal for

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

Important! Always remove the laundry before

switching the machine off. This is important to ensure that the load size indicator works correctly.

Switch the machine off with the K button.

To avoid the build-up of mildew, it is recommended that the door is left ajar when the machine is not in use.

Extras

Steam smoothing

Laundry is smoothed with steam at the end of the programme to reduce creasing. The maximum load capacity is 2.0 kg. Small loads improve the final result.

Soak

For heavily soiled and stained items with protein stains (e.g. blood, fats and oils, cocoa).

A length of time of between 30 minutes and 6 hours can be chosen in 30 minute increments for the soak process.

Extra quiet

You can reduce the noise level of the washing machine if you want to wash during rest periods, e.g. at night.

When selecting Extra quiet, the machine won't spin and Rinse hold is activated. The programme duration is longer.

To deactivate Rinse hold

Enter the Extras sub-menu and deactivate Rinse hold.

Short

For light to normal soiling with no visible staining.

The duration of the main wash is reduced.

Rinse hold

The laundry will not be spun and will remain suspended in the final rinse water. This reduces creasing if the laundry is not going to be removed from the drum immediately after the end of the programme. See "Spin" for more information.

Pre-wash

For laundry with large amounts of dirt e.g. dust, sand.

Water plus

The water level in the main wash and the rinses will be increased if the Water plus option is selected.

Extra rinse

An additional rinse cycle is carried out to achieve a better rinse result.

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. Extras which can be selected have not been taken into account.

The programme sequence display shows the stage the programme has reached.

Special features in the programme sequences:

Anti-crease:

The drum will continue to rotate for up to 30 minutes after the programme end to avoid creasing. Exceptions

: There is no crease protection in the Woollens programme. The washing machine door can be opened at any time.

Two rinses are carried out if a temperature selected is between 60°C to 90°C. Three rinses are carried out if the temperature selected is below 60°C.

A third or 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 . has been selected

A third rinse is carried out if:

–

No . has been selected

Laundry is only spun after the main wash.

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

Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse is carried out automatically without

detergent to

remove dust.

* Miele special detergents:

Washing detergents which were specifically designed for certain programmes or items (e.g. Miele CareCollection).

** Only use proofing agents which are stated by the manufacturer as being

"suitable for use on membrane textiles" as these consist of fluorochemical compounds. Do not use proofing agents which contain paraffin. Fill the detergent drawer § with proofing agent.

All modern detergents produced for automatic front loading 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.

For programmes without Pre-wash or Delay start, liquid detergent can either be dispensed placing a ball-shaped container (commonly provided by the detergent manufacturer) straight onto the laundry load or alternatively dispensed through the detergent dispenser drawer. For programmes with Pre-wash or Delay start (where applicable), an additional liquid detergent dispenser insert (Material number 6134691) is available from Miele.

All modern detergents produced for automatic front loading washing machines are suitable. Refer to the manufacturer's label on the packaging to get information on the use and the dosage.

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.

Detergent

Detergent dispensing balls

Use a detergent dispensing ball when washing with liquid detergent.

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.

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

Heavily soiled Stains and soiling clearly visible.

– The quantity of the laundry

– The water hardness

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

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

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed more efficiently.

Detergent

Fabric conditioners and liquid starch

Fabric conditioners make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying.

Liquid 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.

Adding fabric conditioner or liquid starch separately

Dispense in accordance with

manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

^ Add powder or viscous starch to

compartment i. Add the fabric conditioner or liquid starch to compartment §.

^ Select the Starch programme.

Add the fabric conditioner or the liquid starch to compartment §. Do

not exceed the maximum level mark.

It will be automatically dispensed in the last rinse. At the end of the programme a small amount of water remains in the fabric conditioner compartment §.

^ Select a spin speed or the Rinse hold

Press the Start sensor.

Colour run and dye removers/ Dyes

Do not use removers in this machine.

Dyes suitable for use in domestic washing machines can be used. However, please note that the salt used in the dyeing process can cause corrosion to stainless steel components in the machine if you dye frequently. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

colour run or dye

Cleaning the drum (Hygiene Info)

If you only wash at low temperatures or with liquid detergent over a long period of time, organic deposits and unpleasant odours can form in the machine. To clean the drum and prevent the formation of unpleasant odours, the Cottons 75°C programme should be run with a universal detergent at least once a month or when the message appears in the display.

Hygiene Info

Cleaning the external casing and fascia panel

Disconnect the machine from the

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

Cleaning and care

Do not use solvents, abrasive

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

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

The two main detergent compartments of the dispenser drawer are selfcleaning. The entire drawer should be removed and cleaned regularly for hygienic reasons.

The washing machine must not

be hosed down.

Clean the casing with a mild nonabrasive cleaning agent or soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

The drum can be cleaned using a suitable proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent following the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

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 § 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 and siphon tube regularly. A build-up of starch will cause them to become clogged.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing

^ Use a bottle brush to remove

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

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 tap.

Unscrew the threaded union

connecting the free end of the inlet hose to the tap.

^ 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 tap and check the connection is watertight. If water drips out, tighten the connection.

Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning.

Problem solving guide

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 filter flap opener behind the detergent drawer fascia panel.

^ Remove the opener.

Blocked drain outlet

If the drain outlet is clogged, more water will be retained in the machine (up to 25 litres).

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

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.

Use it to open the access flap.

Turn the drain filter lid round until water runs out.

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 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.

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 Miele).

To remove the left and right covers

1. Pull off the transit bar covers and

2. use a screwdriver to prise out the

covers.

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.

Installation and connection

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 onto the two holes.

Secure the transit bars to the back of

the washing machine. Make sure that the upper hooks are above the retainers.

The 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.

Levelling the machine

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

Failure to level the machine can result in the machine "banging" in the spin cycle or "walking" across the floor during operation.

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.

Installation and connection

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.

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

Installation and connection

Building under a continuous worktop / in a kitchen run

A special building under conversion

–

kit* is required. The machine lid must be replaced by 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.

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 Miele.

Please note

Fitting instructions are supplied with the conversion kit.

All parts marked* are available from Miele.

The fitting of cover plates and stacking kits must only be undertaken by qualified and competent persons, in accordance with the instructions supplied with the kit.

a Safety distance to wall:

at least 2 cm

b Height:

Stacking kit with pull-out shelf: approx. 169 cm Stacking kit without pull-out shelf: approx. 170 cm

A washer and dryer should never be stacked without using the proper stacking kit. Doing so is extremely dangerous as the dryer may vibrate off of the washing machine during use.

Installation and connection

The Miele Waterproof system

The Miele Waterproof system protects all parts of the washing machine from water damage.

The system consists of three main components:

1) the inlet hoses

2) the electronic unit and the washing machine housing

3) the drain hose

1) Inlet hoses

– The inlet hoses are fitted with

additional electrical safety valves which work like automatic taps and are housed in the inlet hose connection boxes.

– They are pressure proof to between

7000 and 10000 kPa.

– The inlet hoses have 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 water inlet valves, preventing water 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 on and pumps the 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 the protective covering which surrounds the inlet hose as a "second skin". The float switches off the safety valves, preventing water flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.

Installation and connection

Connection to the water supply

IMPORTANT: Australia and New Zealand This appliance must be installed according to AS/NZS 3500.1. Backflow prevention is already integrated in the appliance.

The plastic casing of the safety

valve contains electrical components. The Waterproof system must only be connected to its own tap. 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. A flexible metal extension hose, available from Miele as an optional extra, should be used if necessary.

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

The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Connection to a household water softener is not recommended.

The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1000 kPa. If it is higher than 1000 kPa, it is essential to fit a reducer valve.

Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains tap with thread. The tap should be fitted by a qualified plumber.

/4"

Do not dip into any liquid.

The connection points are subject to mains water pressure. Turn on the taps slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the washer and union if appropriate.

Maintenance and care

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 Miele as an optional extra.

This hose is tested to withstand pressures of up to 14000 kPa and can be used as a flexible extension to the water supply.

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 Miele.

* For a delivery head more than1m(up to a max. of 1.8 m), a second duo-drain pump is available with the corresponding kit from Miele.

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.

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.

* Not supplied with washing 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.

Electrical connection

The washing machine is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug for connection to a 230V mains supply. The voltage, rated load and plug rating are given on the data plate. Please ensure these match the household mains supply.

The accesibility of the plug must always be ensured in order to separate the washing machine from the mains.

All electrical work should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.

For extra safety, it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA.

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out.

Installation and connection

Connection should be made via a suitable switching socket which is easily accessible after installation in order to separate the washing machine from the mains.

Do not connect via an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
