Warning and safety instructions

Read the operating instructions be fore using this machine for the first time. They contain important infor mation about the safety, use and maintenance of the machine. This way you will avoid the risk of acci dents 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 oper

ated 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 dam aged machine.

Before connecting the machine,

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

supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali fied electrician.

The electrical safety of this appli

ance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the ma chine 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 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 liabilty. 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it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or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the mains fuse is withdrawn.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" pro tects from water damage provided

the following conditions have been met:

the machine is correctly plumbed in

–

and connected to the electricity sup ply.

if a fault has been identified, the ma

–

chine must be examined by a com petent 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 damaged

it must be replaced by a special Miele cable.

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 assess ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

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 sys tem may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the transit fit ting 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 furni ture 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. Other wise this will result in flooding.

Take care to ensure that foreign ob

jects (e.g. nails, needles, coins, paper clips, etc.) do not find their way into the machine with the washing (e.g. in pockets). These may damage com ponents of the machine (e.g. suds con tainer, drum), 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 manufacturer’s instructions given 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 clean ing 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 in structions carefully.

Accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, per formance 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 ap

pliance to prevent misuse. This should

be done by a competent person.

Colour run and dye removers con

tain sulphur compounds which can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in this machine.

Always make sure the drum is sta

tionary before reaching in to re move laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Washing environmentally and economically

Water consumption and energy us

age are determined by the size of the load. Load to the maximum recom mended for the programme selected.

Programme durations can vary con

–

siderably due to the automatic load adjustment feature. Depending on the amount of laundry, the main wash may be shortened and one rinse omitted.

Use the

the smaller amounts of laundry.

– To save energy wash normally and

lightly soiled laundry at lower temperatures. The 95°C Cottons programme is probably only needed in exceptional circumstances, e.g. for oil based stains or where a very hot wash is required.

– A main wash (programme without

pre-wash) is sufficient to clean normally soiled laundry.

Before using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly in stalled and connected. See the rele vant section under "Installation". Also check that the fluff filter is se curely tightened to prevent the risk of water leaks during use.

Water hardness reminder

The amount of detergent required will depend on various factors including water hardness. The dial in the deter gent dispenser can be set as a water hardness reminder.

For safety reasons spinning is not pos sible until the machine has been pre pared for using for the first time. To acti vate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without laundry. This also activates the ball valve. The ball valve prevents detergent escaping from the suds container into the sump during a programme, thus making maximum use of the detergent.

Proceed as follows:

How to wash correctly

Brief guide

The headings numbered (A,B,C,...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide.

Before washing A Sort the laundry.

^ Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause dam age to textiles 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.

Sort the washing by colour and by

care label symbols. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.

Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately sev eral times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.

Delicate textiles should be washed sep arately 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 ma chine which are specified by the manufacturer as non-machine washable on the care label. (h symbol)

Unfold laundry and load loosely in the drum. To achieve best results it is ad visable to make up mixed loads con sisting 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.

Overloading reduces the wash result and causes more creasing.

Adding detergent

All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suit able, including liquid, compact (con

centrated), tablets, liquid tablets and special application detergents. Use dis pensing 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!

Add detergent according to the amount recommended on the packaging. The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

–

The quantity of laundry.

–

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.

Adding detergent

i = Compartment for pre-wash.

This compartment is also used for starch formulations when starching separately.

j = Compartment main wash p = Compartment fabric conditioner

Water is taken in through compartment i in the pre-wash.

Water is taken in through compartment j in the main wash. If the capacity of compartment j is insufficient for the amount of detergent needed for a COTTONS programme (e.g. in very hard water areas), the machine can be programmed so that water and deter gent can also be taken into the main wash through compartment i , see "Programmable functions", "Activating compartment i".

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in ex tremely hard water areas. Dispense ac cording to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.

Dispense detergent as specified for soft water areas.

Miele do not recommend connecting the machine to a household water soft ener.

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 remover This way the agents are distributed

more efficiently.

Fabric conditioners, texturisers, liquid starch

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

Texturisers are synthetic starch formula tions and give body to items e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.

Starch gives body to items of washing.

Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging.
