Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mate‐ rial

The packaging is designed to protect the washing machine from damage dur‐ ing transportation. The packaging ma‐ terials 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 manufactur‐ ing 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.

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines often contain valuable materials. They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐ tentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your machine. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local com‐ munity waste collection / recycling cen‐ tre or contact your Dealer for advice.

Ensure that it 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 dam‐ age 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 mainte‐ nance. 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 intended for use in domestic households

and similar working and residential environments.

 The washing machine is not intended for outdoor use.  It must be used only as a domestic appliance to wash items

which are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the wash care label. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

 The washing machine can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequen‐ ces of incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the wash‐

ing machine unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children 8 years and older may only use the washing machine un‐

supervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recog‐ nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washing

machine unsupervised.

 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 connec‐

tion data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali‐ fied 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 guaran‐

teed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the wiring system of the building tested 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 sup‐

ply 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 origi‐

nal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran‐ tee the safety standards of the machine.

 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 the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guar‐ antee.

 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced

by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.

Warning and Safety instructions

 The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when

cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.

 The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage

provided the following conditions are met:

– the machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the elec‐

tricity supply.

– if a fault or damage has been identified, the machine must be ex‐

amined 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.

 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 guarantee.

 The machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.

on a ship).

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

do so by Miele.

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 elec‐ tronic 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 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 contain‐ er, 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. 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 dis‐ sipated.

 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 descaling agent which is available to order online at www.miele-shop.com 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 wash‐ ed 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 ex‐ plosion hazard.

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

benzine, to clean the surfaces of the machine. They can cause dam‐ age to plastic surfaces.

 Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for

use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufac‐ turer'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 thor‐

oughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for refer‐ ence. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.

Accessories

 Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by

Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, 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.

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

Running the first programme

The TwinDos unit needs to be activa‐ ted before running the first pro‐ gramme.

 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 fab‐

ric conditioner

The Miele 2 Phase System

The Miele 2 Phase System uses a base detergent (UltraPhase 1) and a deter‐ gent 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 (see end of this booklet for contact details).

Liquid detergent/Fabric conditioner

The washing machine is supplied with two refillable containers which you can fill with liquid detergent and/or fabric conditioner.

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 conditioner with which the contain‐ ers are filled.

2. the dosage amount of the liquid de‐ tergent or fabric conditioner. The dosage amount for Miele products is pre-set at the factory.

Do not fill the containers with any specialist detergents. Use cap dos‐ ing or the detergent dispenser draw‐ er for these.

Automatic dispensing cannot be selec‐ ted with some programmes, depending on the detergent present in the TwinDos system. For example, automatic dis‐ pensing cannot be activated for the Woollens programme if the Miele 2 Phase System is being used. This pre‐ vents woollen garments being dam‐ aged by a detergent which is not suita‐ ble for washing wool.

TwinDos

Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water consumption

– Water consumption and energy us‐

age are determined by the size of the load. To make the most of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using.

– When smaller amounts of laundry are

washed, the automatic load recogni‐ tion 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 tempera‐ ture settings will save energy.

– To maintain the hygiene of the ma‐

chine, carry out a hot wash (60°C or above) using powder detergent at regular intervals. Hygiene info will ap‐ pear in the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash.

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 deter‐

gent recommended by the manufac‐ turer 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.

 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. but‐ tons) 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 to components in the machine.

Sort the laundry

 Sort the laundry by colour and by

care label. Most garments have a tex‐ tile 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-treat stains

 Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should

be cleaned as soon as possible, pref‐ erably whilst still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.

 Do not use solvent-based clean‐

ing 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 stiff‐ eners, etc. should be removed or sewn in.

– Close any zips, attach velcro fasten‐

ers, fasten hooks and eyes etc. be‐ fore 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).

Options

Options are selected and deselected via the relevant buttons and the display.

 Press the button for the option you

want. The relevant button will light up. Not all options are suitable for use with

every programme. You can only select options which are

compatible with the programme being used.

ProgrammeManager

The ProgrammeManager option can be used to customise the washing pro‐ grammes to suit your requirements.

Intensive

For hard-wearing laundry that is very heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is in‐ creased through more intense mechani‐ cal action and the application of more heat energy.

ECO

This option reduces energy consump‐ tion whilst maintaining cleaning efficien‐ cy. This is achieved by increasing the wash duration and at the same time re‐ ducing the wash temperature selected.

Extra gentle

This option decreases mechanical ac‐ tion 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 ma‐ chine will activate the "Rinse hold" op‐ tion and not spin. The programme dura‐ tion 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.

Not all ProgrammeManager options are suitable for use with every pro‐ gramme. Please refer to the "Wash programme chart - ProgrammeMan‐ ager" for a list of suitable pro‐ grammes.

Options

Pre-ironing 

In order to reduce creasing, the laundry undergoes a smoothing process at the end of the programme. Reducing the maximum load by 50% will give a bet‐ ter result. Please note the load informa‐ tion in the display. Small loads give a better result.

The garments must be suitable for dry‐ ing in a tumble dryer   and suitable for ironing  .

Short

Use this option for light soiling with no visible staining.

The wash duration is reduced.

Water plus

The water level in the wash and rinse stages is increased and a second rinse is carried out in the "Separate rinse / Starch" programme.

You can select other functions for the Water plus button. These are described in "Settings".

Stains

In order to clean stained laundry more effectively, you can choose between 7 different types of stain. The wash pro‐ gramme will then adapt to the type of stain selected. You can select one stain per wash cycle.

Detergent

The correct detergent

All detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and dosage recommendations on the pack‐ aging.

For users in Asia: please use a low foaming detergent suitable for use in front-loading ma‐ chines

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

– the soiling level of the load – the quantity of the laundry – the water hardness level.

Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in areas with water hardness levels II and III. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.

Dispensing aids

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

Refill packs of detergent

When purchasing detergent buy refill packs wherever possible. This helps re‐ duce the amount of waste packaging.

Fabric conditioner and liquid starch

Fabric conditioner makes garments soft to handle and helps prevent static cling when tumble drying.

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

You can then use the recommended amount of detergent for water hardness level I.

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Cause and remedy

Liquid detergent does not give the required re‐ sult.

Grey, greasy particles cling to washed laun‐ dry.

White residues which look like powder deter‐ gent 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 addi‐

tion of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process re‐ moves stains effectively.

 Use a general purpose powder detergent contain‐

ing a bleaching agent.

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

 Use more detergent.  Before washing the next load, run the Mainte‐

nance wash using Miele 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 con‐

tains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain no zeolites.

 Use the Dark garments / Denim programme for

dark coloured laundry.

Installation and connection

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 carpeted surface.

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

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

Transporting the washing ma‐ chine 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.

 Ensure that the machine feet and

the floor are dry to prevent the ma‐ chine from slipping during the spin cycle.

Removing the transit bars

 If the machine is installed on a

raised plinth, it has to be secured against slippage during spinning us‐ ing retaining clips (available from Miele). Otherwise there is the danger of the machine moving and falling off the plinth.

 To remove the left and right covers

1. Pull on the attached stopper,

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

 pull the transit bar out.

 Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,

then

 pull the transit bar out.

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.

 Plug the holes with the plastic caps

as illustrated.

 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 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.

Levelling the machine

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

Incorrect installation may increase elec‐ tricity 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 deliv‐ ered.

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 us‐ ing the spanner supplied until it sits firmly up against the housing.

 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 a danger of the machine moving about.

 Using the spanner supplied turn

counter nut 2 in a clockwise direc‐ tion. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.

Installation and connection

Building under a continuous work‐ top/ in a kitchen run

 The washing machine lid cannot

Installation and connection

The water protection system

The Miele water protection system pro‐ tects all parts of the washing machine 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

Double-skinned inlet hose

Sump

Float switch

Electronic unit

Drain pump

Inlet hose

– The casing on the inlet hose contains

two solenoid valves , which cut off the water intake directly at the stop‐ cock. These valves provide two-fold 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 stop‐ cock means that the inlet hose is on‐ ly under pressure whilst water is be‐ ing taken into the machine. For the remainder of the time, pressure on the inlet hose is negligible.

– Protection against the solenoid

valves bursting The solenoid valves are pressure tes‐ ted to between 7,000 kPa and 10,000 kPa against bursting.

– The double-skinned inlet hose  has

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, prevent‐ ing any more water flowing into the machine and water in the suds con‐ tainer 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 pum‐ ped 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 venti‐ lation system which prevents the wash‐ ing machine from being emptied com‐ pletely.

Installation and connection

Connection to the water sup‐ ply

 The casing on the water inlet

hose contains electrical compo‐ nents. It must not be connected in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it, e.g. bath‐ rooms.

The casing on the water inlet hose must not get wet.

The washing machine should be con‐ nected to a mains water supply in ac‐ cordance with current local and nation‐ al safety regulations. The German au‐ thorities do not require it to have a nonreturn valve as the washing machine has been designed to comply with DIN regulations.

The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a pressure reducing valve.

Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock

with a 3/4" threaded union. The stop‐ cock should be fitted by a qualified plumber.

 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.

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

The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.

Installation and connection

Maintenance

Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement. Disconnect the machine from the elec‐ tricity supply before unscrewing the wa‐ terproof system inlet hose from the stopcock.

In order to protect the water inlet valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet valve connection must not be re‐ moved.

Extension hose

A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose is available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department as an optional extra.This hose is tested to withstand pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can be used as a flexi‐ ble extension to the water supply. N.B. Using this hose will render the Water system safety valve on the inlet hose in‐ effective.

Installation and connection

Connection to the drainage system

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 ei‐ ther direction, or can be detached if re‐ quired, with a sharp twist and pull. If required, the drain hose can be exten‐ ded to a length of 5 m. The necessary parts can be purchased from your Miele Dealer or 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 or your Miele Dealer for advice. If necessary, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 2.5 m. The necessary parts can be purchased from your Miele Dealer or Miele.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin. Please note the following:

– 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 non-return valve.

3. Connected securely to a floor gully.

4. Connected securely to a standpipe. Please note:
