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.

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 re sponsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec tric 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 responsibility. Repairs should only be un dertaken by a Miele approved engineer.

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

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

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it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or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the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Page 9

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

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 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). Foreign objects can dam age components of the machine, which in turn can result in damage to the washing.

Page 10

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. Consult the Miele Cus tomer Service Department if necessary.

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.

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.

Colour run and dye removers may

contain sulphur compounds which 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.

Page 11

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.

The washing times can vary consid

–

erably due to the automatic load ad justment feature. Depending on the amount of the load, the main wash may be shortened and one rinse omitted.

Use the Mixed Wash poly/cottons

–

programme or the Quick Wash programme for 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.

Use the "Short" wash option for nor

–

mally or very lightly soiled laundry.

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 deter gent).

Select the highest suitable spin

–

speed in the wash programme when tumble drying afterwards.

– A main wash (programme without

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

–

By using the additional option "Soak" for heavily soiled laundry you can se lect a lower temperature in the main wash.

–

Use the additional option "Soak" in stead of "Pre-wash" with heavily soiled laundry. If "Soak" is followed immediately by a main wash the same suds are used.

Page 12

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. Otherwise there is a risk of water leakage during use.

Flushing out the machine

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.

Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Sort the washing by care label symbols. (See "Programmes - Care symbols" for their explanation).

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

Delicate textiles should be washed sep arately in a delicates programme (use a washing bag where appropriate).

Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufac turer as non-machine washable on the care label. (h symbol)

Pre-treat the laundry

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.

– Curtains:

Remove lead weights and strips or place in a laundry bag.

–

Adding detergent

All modern detergents produced for au tomatic washing machines are suitable, including liquid, compact (concen

trated), tablets and special application detergents. Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the de

tergent. 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 will 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.

Heavily soiled Stains and soiling clearly visible.

Adding detergent

i = Compartment soak/pre-wash 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 water hardness ranges II-IV. Dispense ac cording to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water.

If you wash using several components (e.g. special application detergents), we recommend always dispensing the agents into compartment j in the fol lowing order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softener

3. Stain salts 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.

Top-up rinse (programmable):

At the end of the main wash additional water flows into the drum, and the suds are cooled slightly. Hot water might damage plastic drain pipes.

Graduated rinsing:

The suds are cooled at the end of the wash cycle by water flowing in and being pumped away at inter vals thereby minimising crease formation.

Rinse and interim spin:

There is a spin between the rinses.

Final spin:

The maximum spin speed according to the programme can be selected with the Spin button. In the programmes MINIMUM IRON, DELICATES, WOOLLENS, Separate rinse and MIXED WASH the spin speed is automatically limited to the above stated maximum spin speed.

Anti-crease, and loosen:

The anti-crease action guards against the tendency for creases to set in when fabrics have been left in the drum for a long time. There is drum movement twice a minute.

Page 33

Programmable functions

The programmable functions enable the user to introduce further features as required. The programmable functions remain stored in memory until they are cancelled by the user.

The following programmable functions can be selected:

P1 = Water level

The water level for rinsing is automat ically raised to the maximum level where rinse results are particularly important.

Effective for the rinses in programmes: – COTTONS – MINIMUM IRON – QUICK WASH – MIXED WASH - Poly/Cottons

Option 2

Increase in the water level in soak, prewash, main wash and rinses for Cot tons, Minimum iron, Delicates, Quick wash, and Mixed wash particularly for fabrics that need special care, or where extra attention must be given to dissolv ing detergent. This option is already set when the machine is delivered from the factory.

Option 3

An extra rinse cycle is introduced to the Cottons programme, e.g. when rinse re sults are particularly important.

Option 4

Is Option 2 plus Option 3, where this quality of rinse is required.

P4 = Activating the i compartment

P2 = Water plus system

The "Water plus" button offers four options, increasing water level and / or bringing in an extra rinse cycle.

Option 1

Increase in the rinse water level in the Cottons, Minimum iron, Quick Wash and Mixed wash - Poly/Cottons programmes, where for example rinse results are particularly important.

For the first 10 seconds of the main wash cycle, water flows in through compartment i.

Compartment j may sometimes not be able to hold the total amount of de tergent required:

–

when the water is very hard (over

3.8 mmol/l, water hardness level IV) and

–

the washing is heavily soiled.

In this case compartment i can be used to flush in the extra detergent for the main wash.

Page 34

Programmable functions

P9 = Gentle action

For gentle washing of slightly soiled items. Drum action is reduced.

Gentle action can be used with the Cot tons, Minimum iron, Quick Wash, Mixed wash and Starch programmes.

If "Gentle action" has been pro grammed, every wash cycle in these programmes is carried out with gentle action rhythm.

P10 = Top-up rinse for Cottons

At the end of the main wash additional water flows into the drum and the suds are cooled down.

Hot suds can damage plastic drainage pipes.

Top-up rinse takes place when temperatures of 95°C and 75°C are selected.

P11 = Memory function

If an additional option is selected for a programme, and / or the spin speed is altered, the machine stores

these changes in memory at the start of a programme.

The memory function is active when the machine is first delivered, but can be programmed to be switched off.

See the following pages for how to programme the programmable func tions.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the washing machine

Clean the casing with a mild non-

abrasive detergent or soap and wa ter. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Clean the facia panel and lid with a

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

suitable proprietary stainless steel cleaner.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaners. These might cause damage to the plastic surfaces because of the chemicals they contain.

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.

Extra cleaning

Carrying out a hot wash (70°C or above) with powder detergent approx. once every six weeks will help to en sure that no deposits build up in the machine. These can occur when wash ing is mainly done at low temperatures, and also lead to unpleasant smells. If you have no reason to wash laundry oc casionally at this high temperature, then carry out a 95°C Cottons programme as a cleaning cycle with powder detergent and no washing, at regular intervals.

Page 38

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Pull out the detergent dispenser

drawer until a resistance is felt.

^ Press down the red release catch

and at the same time pull the drawer right out of the machine.

^ Clean the dispenser compartments

and conditioner channel. Regularly remove any detergent residues.

Remove the siphon tube from com partment p. Wash under running warm water and put back.

Page 39

Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter and pump

Check the fluff (drain) filter initially after 3-4 washes to ascertain how often it is likely to require cleaning.

With normal cleaning approx. 2 litres of water run out.

Cleaning and care

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

Caution: If laundry has been washed at a high temperature, water drain ing out of the machine will still be hot.

^ Open the flap. ^ Place a dish under the drain fixture.

Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from behind the detergent drawer facia panel, (see illustration above).

Open the door.

Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times. Do not take it right out.

Grey, greasy parti cles cling to washed laundry.

There are white res idues which look like powder deter gent on dark col oured laundry.

Insufficient amounts of

detergent were used to break down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.

The detergent contained

compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening

which are not soluble in

water. These have ended up on the laundry.

Add more detergent.

Installation

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable in stallation surface for a washing ma chine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a surface with "soft" properties.

Please note the following points:

The machine must be level and se

curely 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 30 mm thick, 590 x 520 mm wide. The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joists, not only to the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first. The most stable part of the floor is usually in the corner.

Installation

Lift the machine from its packaging

base and move it to its site. 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 fitting

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).

1. Turn the left-hand transit bar 90°.

Page 53

Installation

2. Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°.

3. Withdraw the two bars together with

the support plate.

4. Plug the two holes with the plastic

caps supplied.

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.

Page 54

Installation

Levelling the machine

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

With a screwdriver loosen and turn

the foot 1 together with the counternut 2 to the left, (see illustration below) and screw out.

^ Put the machine back on all four feet. ^ Use a spirit level to check the ma-

chine is standing level.

Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about.

The four adjustable screw feet are used to level the machine. All four feet are screwed in when the machine is deliv ered.

Screwing out and adjusting the feet

Gently tip the machine and prop it up using a solid wood wedge for exam ple, to ensure stability.

Make sure the machine does not

slip as this could cause injury.

^ Hold the foot 1 firm using a pipe

wrench and turn the counternut 2 to the right firmly up against the housing with a screwdriver.

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.

Connection to water supply

Fitting

Installation

The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with standard regulations. In Germany the washing machine is not required to have a non-return valve as it has been designed to comply with the relevant German DIN standard.

The machine is designed to operate with a minimum water pressure of 1 bar. There is a minimum flow pressure of 1 bar if 5 litres of water flow into a suit able container in 15 seconds. The static water pressure must not exceed 10 bar. If it is higher than 10 bar it is essential to fit a reducer valve.

The Miele Waterproof-System connected between the stopcock and the machine offers the safest protection against water leaks.

For the Waterproof system to function correctly, it may only be fitted in the po sitions shown (see illustrations).

Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock

with

/4’’ thread. The stopcock should

be fitted by a qualified plumber.

Page 62

Installation

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.

Protection in the event of a leaking machine.

Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the appliance. A float switch switches the safety valve off electrically. No more water will flow in.

The "Waterproof system" is NOT suit able for connection to a hot water supply.

The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged (see illustration).

The "Waterproof system" with a hose length of approx. 4.5 metres is available as an optional extra from your Miele dealer or the Spare Parts Department.

Function

At the heart of this leak protection sys tem there is an electric safety valve, which works like an automatic stop cock.

Protection in the event of a leaking water inlet hose

Leaking water is fed into the sump through the protective covering which surrounds the inlet hose as a "second skin". The float switch turns off the water supply.

Maintenance

N.B. If you intend to unscrew the "Waterproof system" unit from the mains water supply it is essential that the machine is first disconnected from the electricity supply.

Only use a genuine Miele "Waterproof system" able to withstand pressure of up to 70 bar, should you ever need a replacement.

To protect the filters in the water inlet valves the dirt filter in the "Water proof system" connection must not be removed.

The Miele "Waterproof system" protects from water damage in the following cases:

Page 63

Installation

Important!

The plastic casing of the water connec tion contains an electric component.

Do not dip into any liquid!

The "Waterproof system" must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be connected to mixer taps or similar.

Page 64

Installation

Connection to the drainage system

The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre.

The drain hose is 1.5 m long. It 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.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin:

Please note the following

Hook the hose over the edge and se

–

cure. Make sure that the water can drain

–

away freely without hindrance. Other wise there is a risk of water overflow ing 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.

. Connected securely to a floor gully.

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 conversion kit from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer.
