Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-

ial

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. 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 bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see “Installation - Removing the transit bars”). 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 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.

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.

Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated.

Warning and Safety instructions

The maximum load for this washing machine is 8.0 kg (dry weight). See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent. Miele recommends using Miele descaling agent which is available to order online at www.miele.co.uk or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on the packaging.

Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.

Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, 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.

Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, to clean the surfaces of the machine. They can cause damage to plastic surfaces.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.

Accessories

Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.

If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an optional accessory, depending on country), please make sure you order the correct one for this washing machine.

Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water consumption

-To get the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load size for the wash programme you are using. This will keep the energy and water consumption to a minimum in relation to the size of the load.

-Programmes that are more efficient with regard to energy and water consumption generally have a longer running time. By extending the programme running time, the wash temperature that is actually reached can be reduced while still providing the same wash results.

For example, the

ECO 40-60 programme has a longer running time than the Cottons 40 °C or 60 °C programme. The

ECO 40-60 programme is more efficient in terms of energy and water consumption but has a longer running time.

-Use the Express 20 programme for small, lightly soiled loads.

-Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g. 20 °C). Using lower temperature settings will save energy.

Information about subsequent

tumble drying

The spin speed selected affects the residual moisture in the laundry and the sound emissions of the washing machine.

The higher the spin speed, the lower the residual moisture in the laundry. However, the sound emissions of the washing machine will increase.

Select the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme to save energy in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.

Hygiene in the washing ma-

chine

Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergents can cause bacteria and odours to build up in the washing machine. Miele therefore recommends cleaning the washing machine once every month.

When the indicator light lights up and

appears on the time display, the washing machine must be cleaned.

Detergent

-For precise dispensing use automatic detergent dispensing.

-Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry.

-Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

1. Prepare the laundry

Empty all pockets.

Damage due to foreign objects.

Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.

Check the laundry before washing and remove any foreign objects.

Sort the laundry

Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.

Tip: 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.

Pre-treating stains

Badly soiled areas and stains 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.

Tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee, tea) can be pre-treated using some handy tricks which can be found in the Miele guide to laundry care.

Damage due to solvent-based cleaning agents

Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts.

When pre-treating textiles, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.

Risk of explosion due to solventbased cleaning agents.

When using solvent-based cleaning agents, an explosive mixture may develop.

Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing machine.

General tips

-Curtains: Remove lead weights first 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.

-Close any zips, attach velcro fasteners, fasten hooks and eyes etc. before washing.

-Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.

Do not wash any items in this washing machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).

2. Select a programme

Switching on the washing ma-

chine

Turn the programme selector to a programme.

1. Selecting wash programmes

using the programme selector

Turn the programme selector to the required programme.

The programme running time appears on the time display.

2. Selecting programmes using

the MobileStart programme

selector position and

Miele@mobile app

Tip: To use MobileStart , the washing machine must be logged on to the WiFi network and Remote control must be switched on.

Turn the programme selector to the

MobileStart position.

Once the programme has started, the washing machine can be operated with the Miele@mobile app.

3. Load the washing machine

Open the door

Close the door

Reach under the door grip and pull the door open.

Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading it with laundry.

The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creases.

Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum.

Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.

Tip: Please note the maximum load for different wash programmes.

Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.

Shut the door with a gentle swing.

4. Select programme settings

Selecting a temperature and

spin speed

The wash programme’s preset temperature and spin speed light up brightly. The choice of available temperatures and spin speeds for the wash programme light up dimmed.

The temperatures reached inside the washing machine might not be the same as the temperatures selected. Perfect wash results are achieved through a combination of energy use and wash duration.

Selecting extra options

The selection of extra options available for the wash programme lights up dimly.

Touch the sensor for the extra option you want. It will then light up brightly.

Please refer to “Extra options” for more information.

Touch the sensor for the desired temperature. It will then light up brightly.

Touch the sensor for the desired spin speed. It will then light up brightly.

Switching on Delay start/

SmartStart

The start of the programme can be delayed from 30 minutes up to

24 hours. This allows you to make use of night-time economy electricity rates, for example (see the “Delay start/ SmartStart” chapter).

5. Add detergent

There are several options for adding detergent.

The washing machine has the TwinDos system.

TwinDos has to be activated as described in “Before using for the first time”.

The TwinDos system can only be operated with the Miele UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 detergents.

How UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 work

UltraPhase 1 is a liquid detergent which dissolves dirt and removes the most common stains. UltraPhase 2 is a bleaching agent and removes stubborn stains. For the best washing result, these two agents are dispensed at separate times during the washing process. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 clean white and coloured fabrics thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 singleuse cartridges are available to order from Miele, your Miele dealer or via the Miele online shop.

Activating TwinDos dispensing

TwinDos dispensing is automatically activated for all programmes in which dispensing is possible.

The TwinDos colours sensor control lights up. The Twin Dos whites sensor control lights up dimly in certain wash programmes.

Tip: The detergent dispensing quantities are preset. If too much foam builds up, you can reduce the dispensing quantities using the and programmable functions.

Tips on dosing

Adjust the detergent dosage to the level of soiling of the laundry and the size of the load. Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (e.g. reduce the amount of detergent by ⅓ when washing a half load).

Too little detergent:

-Results in laundry not being cleaned properly and may cause it to become grey and hard to the touch over time.

-Can lead to a build-up of mould in the washing machine.

-Results in grease not being completely removed from the laundry.

-Can lead to limescale deposits on the heater elements.

Too much detergent

-Causes poor wash, rinse, and spin results.

-Causes higher water consumption as an extra rinse cycle is automatically activated.

-Is a greater burden on the environment.

Using liquid detergent with a prewash

Liquid detergent cannot be used for the main wash if the pre-wash has been selected.

Use TwinDos dispensing if you are activating the pre-wash.

Using detergent tablets or pods

Always put detergent tablets or pods directly in the drum with the laundry. They cannot be added via the detergent dispenser drawer.
