Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally 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. 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.

Disposing of your old appliance

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. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

8
Warning and Safety instructions
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. Miele 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 a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the risk of overheating).
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so
that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

10
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 and connection - 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 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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam
function. There is a 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.
The maximum load for this washing machine is 8 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 descaler for washing machines which is available to order online at www.miele-shop.com (depending on country) 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 external 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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in this machine.
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 genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.
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.

Running the first programme

The TwinDos unit needs to be activated before running the first programme.
Please see "TwinDos".

TwinDos

The washing machine has an integrated detergent dispensing unit.
The detergent dispensing unit can be used with
1. the Miele 2 Phase System
or
2. any other liquid detergent and/or
fabric softener
The Miele 2 Phase System
The Miele 2 Phase System uses a base detergent (UltraPhase 1) and a detergent enhancer (UltraPhase 2). In order to achieve optimum results, the agents are dispensed separately during the wash process. The 2 Phase System cleans both white and coloured textiles thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 single use cartridges are available to order from Miele or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (depending on country).
Liquid detergent/Fabric softener
Refillable TwinDos containers are required for liquid detergent and/or fabric softener. These are available to order from Miele or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (see end of this booklet for details).
How TwinDos works
Automatic detergent dispensing for a wash cycle is activated via the Dos  sensor.
To use the TwinDos function, you need to specify the following information for the electronic unit:
1. The detergent type and/or fabric softener with which the containers are filled.
2. The dosage amount of the liquid detergent and/or fabric softener. The dosage amount for Miele products is preset at the factory.
Do not fill the containers with any specialist detergents. Use cap dosing or the detergent dispenser drawer for these.
Automatic dispensing cannot be selected with some programmes, depending on the detergent present in the TwinDos system. For example, automatic dispensing cannot be activated for the Woollens programme if the Miele 2 Phase System is being used. This prevents woollen garments being damaged by a detergent which is not suitable for washing wool.
19
TwinDos

Inserting detergent cartridges

The detergent cartridges are the components of the Miele 2 Phase System which consists of:
1. UltraPhase 1 (base detergent)
2. UltraPhase 2 (detergent enhancer)

Washing environmentally and economically

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 and energy used.
– Use the Express20 programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g. 20°C). Washing using lower temperature settings will save energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the
machine, carry out a hot wash (above 60°C) using powder detergent at regular intervals. Hygiene info will appear in the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent consumption
– 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.
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.
– Use the hot water connection to save
energy.

1. Preparing the laundry

Useful tip: Stains can be pre-treated
using some handy tricks, which can be found in "Miele's guide to laundry care". Please contact Miele to obtain a copy of this booklet.
If you use a solvent-based
cleaning agent (e.g. one containing benzine) 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.
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.
Useful tip: Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash white and coloured items separately.

Pre-treating stains

Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably while still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in or on this 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 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 ( symbol).
