Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the washing machine 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. 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 materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.

Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions

This washing machine complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, use and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future user.

Correct application

 This washing machine is designed for domestic use and for use in

similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.

 The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.  It must only be used to wash garments which have been declared

suitable for washing by the manufacturer indicated on the garment care label. Any other use is not permitted. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

 This washing machine is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.  Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has

been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

 Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the

supervision of an adult.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine

and do not let them play with it.

Technical safety

 Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"

and "Technical data".

 Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally

visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.

 Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the

connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

 Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be

assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washing

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 circuit breaker.

 The Miele Waterproof system protects from water damage

provided the following conditions have been met:

– The machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the

electricity supply.

– If a fault or damage has been identified, the machine must be

examined by a competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.

 The water flow pressure must be at least 100kPa and should not

exceed 1000kPa.

 This washing machine must not be installed and operated in

mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine 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 machine warranty.

 Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to

do so by Miele.

 This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope

with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be replaced by a Miele authorised technician.

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.

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.

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.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Running the first programme

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

 Please see "TwinDos".

Before using for the first time

TwinDos

The washing machine has an integrated detergent dispensing unit.

The detergent dispensing unit can be used with

1. the Miele 2 Phase System

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.

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)

These detergent cartridges are for single use only. Replacement detergent cartridges are available to order from Miele or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (see end of this booklet for details). Empty cartridges should be disposed of via your local recycling system.

TwinDos

 Press the TwinDos access panel.

The panel will spring open.

 Remove the stoppers from the

detergent cartridges.

 Open the panel.

TwinDos

Using containers

 Open the yellow stopper and fill the

 Push the UltraPhase1 cartridge into

compartment1 and the UltraPhase2 cartridge into compartment2, until they lock into

position.

The TwinDos system is now ready for use.

 Close the stopper and push the

container back into the compartment. Make sure that the lock engages.

Useful tip: Make a note of which detergents you have filled the containers with so that you then enter the correct settings in the electronics later on.

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

The display will change automatically or you can return to the standard display by touching the OK sensor.

See "Settings".

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.

 Solvent-based cleaners (e.g.

benzine) can damage plastic parts. When pre-treating garments, make

sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.

 Empty all pockets.

 Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,

paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.

Check the laundry before washing and remove any such foreign objects.

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.

 Chemical (solvent-based)

cleaning agents can cause severe damage to the washing machine.

Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in 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).

you want.

The relevant button will light up.

Not all Extra options are suitable for use with every programme.

You can only select Extra options which are compatible with the programme being used.

ProgrammeManager

The ProgrammeManager Extra option can be used to customise the washing programmes to suit your requirements.

ECO

This option reduces energy consumption whilst maintaining cleaning efficiency. This is achieved by increasing the wash duration and at the same time reducing the wash temperature selected.

Extra gentle

This option decreases mechanical action in order to reduce creasing.

Extra quiet

This option reduces noise levels during the programme. Use this if you want to wash during quiet periods (for instance, when children are sleeping). The machine will activate the "Rinse hold" option and not spin. The programme duration is longer.

AllergoWash

This option should be used where high standards of hygiene are required. More energy is used to lengthen temperature holding times and more water is used to increase rinsing efficiency. The garments must be suitable for drying in

a tumble dryer   and suitable for ironing  .

Intensive

For hard-wearing laundry that is very heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is increased through more intense mechanical action and the application of more heat energy.

Not all ProgrammeManager options are suitable for use with every programme. Please refer to the "Wash programme chart ProgrammeManager" for a list of suitable programmes.

Extra options

Steam smoothing 

Steam is injected into the drum at the end of the wash process. Reducing the maximum load by 50% will give a better result. For steam smoothing to work properly there needs to be a certain amount of residual moisture still present in the laundry. The final spin speed is therefore adjusted accordingly.

The garments must be suitable for

drying in a tumble dryer   and suitable for ironing  .

Short

For light soiling with no visible staining.

The wash duration is reduced.

Stains

In order to clean stained laundry more effectively, you can choose from a list of various types of stains. The wash programme will then adapt to the types of stains selected. You can select a maximum of three stains per wash cycle.

Water plus

The water level in the main wash and the rinses will be increased if the Water plus Extra option is selected.

You can select by how much the water level is increased (see "Settings - Water plus level").

Pre-wash

For laundry with large amounts of dirt, e.g. dust and sand.

Extra rinse

An additional rinse cycle can be carried out to give a better rinse result.

Rinse hold

The laundry is not spun after the final rinse and remains in the final rinse water. This helps prevent creasing if the laundry is not going to be removed from the drum immediately after the end of the programme.

Further options

Soak

For heavily soiled and stained items with protein stains.

A duration of between 30 minutes and 5 hours in 30-minute increments can be chosen for the soak process. See "Settings" for more information.

The factory default setting is 30 minutes.

The washing machine has fully electronic controls with automatic load recognition. It takes in the right amount of water required for the programme depending on the amount of laundry and its absorbency rate.

The programme sequences outlined in the chart are based on the basic programme with a full load.

Programme sequence

A second rinse is carried out when a temperature between 60°C and 90°C has been selected. A third rinse is carried out when a temperature below 60°C is selected.

An additional rinse is carried out if:

– there is too much foam in the drum.

– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has

been selected.

– the spin speed has been deselected.

An additional rinse is carried out if:

– the Extra rinse option is selected.

Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is carried out before the wash process begins to deflate down filled items. Subsequent water intake for the main wash is through compartment .

Pre-wash: A pre-wash without detergent is carried out automatically to remove dust.

The washing machine programme sequence display shows which stage of the programme has been reached.

Special features in the programme sequence

Anti-crease: At the end of the programme the drum continues to turn at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help prevent creasing. Exception: There is no anti-crease phase in the Woollens programme. The door can be opened at any time during the Anti-crease phase.

Detergent

The correct detergent

All detergents produced for automatic front loading washing machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and dosage recommendations on the packaging.

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

– The soiling level of the laundry.

– The quantity of laundry.

Detergent dispensing aids

Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these are supplied with the detergent, particularly when using liquid detergent.

Refill packs of detergent

When purchasing detergent, buy refill packs wherever possible. This helps reduce the amount of waste packaging.

Fabric softeners and liquid starch

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

Fabric shapers are synthetic starches and give an even stiffer hold.

Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.

This is not a fault. Steam may emerge from the detergent dispenser drawer, depending on the amount of laundry and the ambient temperature.

This is not a fault. These noises occur when steam is being generated and when steam is being injected into the drum.

Problem solving guide

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Possible cause and remedy

Liquid detergent does not give the required result.

Grey, greasy particles cling to washed laundry.

White residues which look like powder detergent are seen on dark textiles after washing.

Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea stains.

 Use the Miele 2 Phase System. The targeted

addition of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process removes stains effectively.

 Use a general purpose powder detergent

containing a bleaching agent.

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

 Use more detergent or liquid detergent.  Before washing the next load, run the Clean

machine programme using Miele dishwasher and washing machine cleaner or a powder detergent.

The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. These have ended up on the laundry.

 Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush

once the laundry is dry.

 Wash dark textiles using a detergent which does

not contain zeolites. Liquid detergents usually do not contain zeolites.

 Use the Dark garments programme.

 Switch off the washing machine.

 Press the drain pump access panel.

The panel will spring open.

Blocked drain outlet

If the drain outlet is blocked, a large quantity of water can remain in the washing machine.

 If laundry has been washed at a

high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot. Danger of scalding!

Take care when draining the suds solution.

Procedure for draining the washing machine

When draining water from the machine, do not unscrew the filters completely or take them right out.

 Place a suitable container, e.g. a

Miele universal oven tray, under the access panel.

 Slowly and carefully unscrew the

filters to let the water out. Be careful not to release too much water at once. If the flow of water is too strong, some water can seep into the washing machine base and activate the water protection float switch. This will prevent the washing machine from functioning.

 Tighten the filters back up again if

you need to interrupt the flow of water.

Once the flow of water ceases:

Problem solving guide

 Remove the filters completely.

 Clean them thoroughly.  Remove any foreign objects (e.g.

buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff from the filter housing. Turn the impellers by hand to check that they rotate freely.

 Replace the filters correctly (on the

right and left) and tighten them securely.

 Make sure the filters are securely

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

Installation and connection

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing machine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.

Please note:

 The machine must be level and

securely 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 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joists and not only to the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first.

Useful tip: If possible, install the machine in a corner, as this is usually the most stable part of the floor.

Transporting the washing machine to its installation site

To manoeuvre the washing machine out of its packing case to its installation site, hold it by the front feet as well as by the edge of the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the machine.

 Danger of slippage during spin

cycle. The machine feet and installation

surface must be dry.

Removing the transit bars

 Remove the left and right covers.

1. Pull off the transit bar covers and

2. then use a screwdriver to release the catches at the top and bottom.

Installation and connection

 Using the spanner supplied, turn the

left-hand transit bar 90°, then

 withdraw the transit bar.

 Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,

then

 withdraw the transit bar.

Installation and connection

 To avoid the risk of injury, the

holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed.

 Fit the covers onto the two holes.

 Secure the transit bars to the back of

the washing machine. Make sure the top catch is located above the holder.

 The washing machine must not

be moved without the transit bars in place. Store them as shown or keep them in a safe place for future use. They must be refitted if the machine is to be moved again (e.g. when moving house).

Refitting the transit bars

Refitting is carried out by reversing the procedure.

Levelling the machine

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

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

Screwing out and adjusting the feet

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

Installation and connection

 Use a spirit level to check that the

washing machine is standing level.

 Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe

wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again using the spanner supplied until it sits firmly up against the housing.

 All four counter nuts must be

firmly up against the housing. Please also check this for the feet which did not need adjustment. Otherwise there is a danger of the machine moving about.

 Using the spanner supplied, turn

counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.

Installation and connection

Building under a continuous worktop / in a kitchen run

 The washing machine lid cannot

be removed.

Installation and connection

The Miele water protection system

The Miele water protection system protects all parts of the washing machine and surrounds from water damage.

The system consists of three main components:

– the inlet hose

– the electronic unit and drainage and

overflow protection

– the drain hose

The Waterproof system (WPS)

Two solenoid valves

The inlet hoses

– The casing on the inlet hoses

contains two solenoid valves ,

which cut off the water intake directly at the tap. These valves provide twofold protection. In the event that one of the valves is faulty, the other valve will cut off the water intake. Blocking the water intake at the tap means that the inlet hoses are only under pressure whilst water is being taken into the machine. For the remainder of the time, pressure on the inlet hoses is negligible.

– Protection against the solenoid

valves bursting. The solenoid valves are pressure tested to between 7000kPa and 10000kPa against bursting.

– The double-skinned inlet hoses 

have a pressure-resistant inner hose and a protective sleeve. Any leaking

water is fed into the sump  through

this protective sleeve. A float switch

 closes the solenoid valves,

preventing any more water flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.

Installation and connection

The electronic unit  and drainage

and overflow protection

– Drainage protection

Any leaking water is collected in the

sump  in the base of the machine. A float switch  closes the solenoid valves , preventing any more water

from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.

– Overflow protection

If the water level exceeds a certain

level, the drain pump  switches in

and pumps the excess water away in a controlled manner. Should the water level rise repeatedly in an uncontrolled way, the drain

pump  will switch on continuously,

the washing machine will indicate that there is a fault and a tone will sound.

Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied completely.

Installation and connection

Connection to the water supply

IMPORTANT Australia and New Zealand

This appliance must be installed according to AS/NZS 3500.1. Backflow prevention is already integrated in the appliance.

 The safety valves contain

electrical components. They must not be connected in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching them, e.g bathrooms.

The safety valves must not get wet.

The washing machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with current local and national safety regulations.

The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1000 kPa. If it is higher than 1000 kPa, it is essential to fit a reducer valve.

Connection to the water supply should incorporate taps with a 3/4" threaded

union. The taps should be fitted by a qualified plumber.

 The connection points are

subject to mains water pressure. Turn on the taps slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the washer and the union if appropriate.

Maintenance and care

Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement.

The union nut on the casing at the end of the water inlet hose contains a dirt filter which protects the solenoid valves.

This dirt filter must not be removed.

The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked.

Installation and connection

This washing machine can be operated with cold mains water and/or hot water.

Markings of water intake hoses

Cold water (tap water)

Hot water = Red label

= Silver label

 For technical reasons, the

washing machine must always be connected to cold mains water.

Cold water (tap water)

The washing machine is programmed to cold water operation at the factory.

The other water intake hose can be fixed at the back of the appliance.

Hot water

– If you wish to use a hot water

connection with the washing machine, it must be reprogrammed as described in "Settings - Water intake".

– The temperature of hot water at the

mains water tap must not exceed 60°C. The preferred temperature is 55°C. Consult a plumber if the temperature at the tap exceeds 60°C.

– Before connecting to the mains water

tap, check that the outflow of cold water does not exceed 5 litres. Each additional litre of cold water reduces the energy efficiency.

– If the hot water tap is turned off for

some time, the washing machine will automatically switch to the cold water connection. This safety measure is not intended for the permanent operation of the appliance. The washing machine continues to wash using hot water operation, but washing results are worsened.

– If the programmed temperature when

Hot water MW + rinses is selected is too low, the washing machine automatically switches to cold water operation. In a programme without Extra options and without a part load, two rinses with an increased water level are carried out to achieve a good rinsing result.

Installation and connection

Drainage

The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre. The drain hose 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. If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 5 m. The necessary parts can be purchased from Miele.

For a delivery head of more than 1 m (up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacement drain pump will need to be fitted. Please contact Miele for advice. If necessary, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 2.5 m. The necessary parts can be purchased from Miele.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin:

Please note:

– Hook the hose over the edge and

secure.

– Make sure that the water can drain

away freely without hindrance. Otherwise there is a risk of water overflowing 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 siphon.

Please note:

3. Connected securely to a floor gully.

4. Connected securely to a standpipe.

Installation and connection

Electrical connection

The washing machine is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug for connection to a 230V mains supply. The voltage, rated load and plug rating are given on the data plate. Please ensure these match the household mains supply.

 The accessibility of the plug

must always be ensured in order to separate the washing machine from the mains. Do not connect the appliance to an extension lead or multi-socket adapter as they do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

All electrical work should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. For extra safety, it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out. Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a Miele cable of the same type by a Miele approved service technician only.
