Warning and Safety Instructions
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
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.
Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable
for damage resulting from improper
use or operation.
This appliance should not be oper-
ated by children. Supervise its use
by the elderly or infirm.
Young children should be super-
vised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
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.
Caution:
if the appliance is supplied form a
cord extension set or electrical portable
outlet device the cord extension set or
electrical portable outlet device should
be positioned so it is not subject to
splashing or ingress of moisture.
The electrical safety of this ma-
chine 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
regularly tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.
For safety reasons do not operate
this appliance on an extension
cable. 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
responsibility. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved engineer.
The machine is only completely iso-
lated 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and the plug is withdrawn, or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– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
8
Warning and Safety Instructions
The best materials are used in the
manufacture of this machine, and
every care is taken to check all parts.
However, with time, deterioration of
parts can occur, especially with such
components as hoses, giving rise to
leaks. Check the hose regularly for
signs of wear, and change in good
time, to avoid leaks and subsequent
damage
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.
If the connection cable is dam-
aged it must be replaced by a special Miele cable.
Use
Do not install your washing ma-
chine in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen
hoses may burst under pressure. The
reliability of the electronic control system may be impaired at temperatures
below freezing point.
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.
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 ma-
chine 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, needles, coins,
paper clips, etc.) do not find their way
into the machine with the washing (e.g.
in pockets). Foreign objects can damage components of the machine, which
in turn can result in damage to the
washing.

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. Consult the Miele Customer Service Department.
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 washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
Always make sure the drum is sta-
tionary 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 may 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.
Dye removers may contain sulphur
compounds which cause damage
such as corrosion. Do not use dye
removers in this machine.

Washing environmentally and economically
Washing environmentally and economically
– Caring for the environment means
saving water, energy and detergent
when washing but without compromising on results. Load to the maximum recommended for the programme.
The key to a good wash result is
finding the best combination of detergent amount, temperature, length of
programme and the machine’s technology.
– The 95°C Cottons programme is
probably only needed in cases of
sickness. Otherwise a lower temperature is normally sufficient.
– Use the MIXED WASH poly/cottons
programme or the QUICK WASH programme for smaller amounts of washing.
– A main wash is sufficient to clean
normally soiled washing.
– Use the additional option "soak”.
After this you can select a lower temperature in the main wash.
– Use the "Short" wash option for nor-
mally or very lightly soiled washing.
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent which may be recommended
by the manufacturer on the packaging.
– Reduce the amounts of detergent
with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half
load, approx. one third less detergent).
– Select the highest suitable spin
speed in the wash programme when
tumble drying afterwards.
– The washing times can vary con-
siderably due to the automatic load
adjustment feature. Depending on
the amount of the load, the main
wash may be shortened and one
rinse omitted.
– Use the additional option "Soak" in-
stead of “Pre-wash" with heavily
soiled washing.
With Soak followed immediately by
Main wash the same suds are used.

Brief guide
The headings numbered (1,2,3,...)
show the operating sequence and can
be used as a brief guide.
Before washing
1 Prepare the wash load.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately several times before being included in a
mixed load.
Delicate textiles should be washed separately in a delicates programme (use
a washing bag where appropriate).
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the manufacturer as non-machine washable on
the care label. (h symbol)
Pre-treat the washing
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
used solvent-based cleaning agents in
this machine.
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips etc) can cause damage
to textiles and components in the
machine.
Sort the washing.
Most garments have a textile care label
in the collar or side seam. Sort the
washing by care label symbols. (See
the section on these symbols for their
explanation).
– 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
sown in.
– Knitted garments, trousers and
jeans, T and sweat shirts:
Turn inside out, if recommended by
the manufacturer.
