Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these materi als away, please ensure they are of fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances may contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap mer chant about potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the machine presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. See the appropriate sec tion in the Warning and safety instruc tions.

Page 6

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, installation, use and maintenance of the ma chine. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents 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

This washer-dryer must only be used:

– to wash textiles which are declared

by the manufacturer on the care label to be machine washable, as well as hand washable woollens.

– to dry textiles which have been

washed in a water solution, marked on the manufacturer’s wash care label as being suitable for tumble drying.

Any other applications may be danger ous. The manufacturer cannot be held re sponsible for damage caused by im proper or incorrect use of the appliance.

Do not let small children play with

the machine and its controls or op erate it. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine,

check it for any externally visible damage.

Do not install or use a damaged ma chine.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre quency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali fied electrician.

The electrical safety of this machine

can only be guaranteed when conti nuity is complete between the machine and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is regularly tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.

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 un foreseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept respon sibility. Repairs should only be under taken by a Miele approved technician.

The machine is only completely iso

lated 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, or

–

the screw-out fuse is removed in countries where this is applicable.

Page 7

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 ma chine be guaranteed.

If the connection cable is damaged

it must be replaced by a special Miele cable only.

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.

Take care, the metal cap is hot

after drying.

Open the door wide after the drying cy

cle. Do not touch the metal cap located

on the inside of the door glass. It will still be hot and could cause a burn.

Do not install your machine in

rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure.The reliability of the electronic control unit may be im paired 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 furniture 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.

Take care to ensure that foreign ob

jects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the ma chine with the laundry. These may dam age components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

Page 8

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 instructions on the packaging. If in doubt, contact the Miele Customer Ser vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.

Never use solvent based cleaning

agents in this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such deter gents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.

Textiles which have been

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

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 con

tain sulphur compounds which can 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.

There is a danger of fire during drying with fabrics which:

contain rubber, foam rubber or rub

–

ber like materials have been treated with inflammable

–

cleaning agents

have been splashed with hair lac

–

quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances

which contain padding or fillings

–

(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged, the filling could get out with the risk of igniting in the dryer.

Make sure that any dispensing

balls etc. are removed from laundry before the drying programme. These dispensers can melt during the drying programme and cause damage to the machine and the laundry. Do not use liquid dispenser balls or similar if you are planning to wash and then dry in one continuous sequence.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, per formance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

Disposal of your old machine

Disconnect and remove the mains plug from the socket. Render the plug use less. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent per son.

Finish

Before washing

A Sort the laundry

Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and compo nents in the machine.

Stains etc. should be removed as soon as possible whilst still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub!

How to wash correctly

Do not use solvent-based clean

ing agents in this machine.

Sort the laundry by colour and by

care label symbol. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. See the "Programme overview chart" for information on which programmes to use for differ ent fabric types.

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

– Curtains: Remove lead weights and

strips or place in a laundry bag.

– Bras: Ensure any underwiring is se-

curely sewn in. If not, remove it.

– Knitted garments, trousers and

jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer.

– Close any zips, fasten hooks and

eyes etc before washing.

–

Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up in side them.

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).

Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturer’s instructions. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

Soak

For heavily soiled and stained items with dried-on stains, or ones which can be bleached out, (e.g. blood, fats and oils, cocoa).

Duration of soak: 2 hours.

Detergent dispensing when selecting the soak option:

Pre-wash

For heavily soiled and stained items.

Water plus

The water level increases in all sections of the COTTONS / MINIMUM IRON and QUICK WASH 40°C programmes.

– for particularly delicate fabrics. – if more water is required for dispens-

ing the detergent.

Page 27

Adding detergent

Detergent

All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suit able, including liquid, compact (con centrated), tablets and special applica tion detergents.

Woollens and knitwear containing wool mixtures and hand-washable garments should be washed using a detergent specifically designed for washing woollens.

Instructions for use and recommended amounts for a full load are given on the detergent packaging.

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

– 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.

–

The quantity of laundry

Water softener

A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in water hardness ranges II - III. 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.

Washing with several components

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 remover, e.g. Biotex This way the agents are distributed

more evenly.

Fabric conditioners / starch formulations

Fabric conditioners, texturisers and starch

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

Texturisers are synthetic starch formula tions, which stiffen items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.

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

Dispense according to the amount

specified on the packaging.

Automatic dispensing of fabric conditioners, texturisers or liquid starch to laundry at the end of a programme

The conditioner or liquid starch is auto matically dispensed in the last rinse. At the end of the programme a small amount of water remains in compart ment p.

If starching frequently, clean the dis

penser compartment and especially

the siphon tube and conditioner channel. See "Cleaning the deter gent dispenser drawer".

Cleaning and care

Disconnect the machine from the

electricity supply by switching off at the wall socket and withdrawing the plug before any cleaning and main tenance work.

Cleaning the machine

Clean the casing with a mild

non-abrasive cleaning agent or with soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Clean the drum with a suitable propri

etary cleaner for stainless steel.

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.

Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-pur pose cleaners. These could damage plastic surfaces and other parts. Do not use a hose to wash the machine down.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

^ 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 detergent dispenser com partments and the fabric conditioner compartment with warm water.

Clean the siphon tube.

1. Remove the siphon from compartment p and rinse under warm running water. The channel in compartment p should also be cleaned.

2. Replace the siphon securely.

Over time, detergent residue can build up in the water jets in the top of the detergent drawer housing.

Cleaning and care

Before replacing the detergent drawer, use a bottle brush or similar to clean them out.

Page 42

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the fluff filter and pump

Check the fluff 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.

However, if the drain outlet is blocked, more water will be retained in the ma chine (max. 25 l litres).

Caution: If laundry has been

washed at a high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot. Danger of scalding or burning!

There is a yellow filter flap opener behind the detergent drawer facia panel.

Use it to open the access flap.

Remove the opener.

Open the door.

Place a suitable container (2 litres) underneath the drain fixture.

Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times. Do not take it right out. Approx. 2 litres of water will drain out.

To interrupt the procedure: Tighten the fluff filter back up again.

With large volumes of water the dish will need to be emptied several times.

Page 43

Once the flow of water ceases:

^ Remove the fluff filter completely. ^ Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.

Cleaning and care

Remove any deposits of limescale and detergent or foreign objects from the thread of the filter housing and filter unit (as these can cause a leakage of water).

Put the fluff filter back in place and

secure.

Make sure the fluff filter is se

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

Installation and connection

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable in stallation surface. It is far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted sur face.

Please note the following:

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 the use of a plywood

base at least 59x52x3 cm. The base

should span several joists and be

bolted to the joists and not only to the

floorboards. Check for pipes and ca-

bles beforehand! The most stable part of the floor is usu-

ally in the corner.

Installation

Lift the machine from its packaging

base and move it to its site. Please note the following:

Do not lift the machine by the drum

door.

Ensure that the machine feet and

the floor area are dry to prevent the machine from slipping during the spin cycle.

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). Otherwise there is the danger of the machine moving about.

B Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°.

D Plug the holes with the plastic caps

supplied.

The machine must not be moved without the transit fitting in place. Store the transit fitting in a safe place for future use. It must be re-fit ted if the machine is to be moved again (e.g. when moving house).

Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the procedure.

Page 61

Levelling the machine

The 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.

The four adjustable 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 wooden wedge for ex ample, to ensure stability.

Installation and connection

Loosen counternut 2 with a screw

driver by turning it anti-clockwise, then unscrew foot 1 together with the counternut.

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

chine is standing level.

^ Hold the foot 1 firm using a pipe

wrench and using a screwdriver turn the counternut 2 to the right 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 the danger of the machine moving about.

Make sure the machine does not

slip as this could cause injury.

Installation and connection

Connection to the water supply

Fitting

The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with standard regulations. The German authorities do not require it to have a non-return valve as the machine has been designed to comply with the rele vant valid standard (DIN Norm).

The machine is designed to operate with a minimum flow 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 Miele Waterproof system to function correctly, it may only be fitted in the position shown in the illustrations above.

Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should be fitted by a qualified plumber.

Page 68

Installation and connection

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.

This appliance is not suitable for connection to hot water.

The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged.

The Miele Waterproof system is available with a hose length of approx. 4.5 m as an optional extra.

Function

The core feature of the Waterproof sys tem is an electrical safety valve. It works like an automatic stopcock.

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

Protection in the event of a leaking

–

appliance.

Any leaking water is collected in a

sump in the base of the appliance.

The float switch switches off the wa

ter supply. This prevents any more

water getting into the machine.

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 switches off the

water supply.

Maintenance If you intend to unscrew the Miele Wa-

terproof system from the stopcock it is

essential to disconnect the machine from the electricity supply first.

Only use a Miele Waterproof system should you ever need a replacement or extension. These are tested to with stand pressure of at least 70 bar.

In order to protect the water inlet valves the dirt filter in the solenoid safety valve connection must not be removed.

Page 69

Installation and connection

Warning:

The plastic housing of the water con nection contains an electrical compo nent.

Do not dip into any liquid.

Page 70

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 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.

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.

4. Connected securely to a floor gully.

If required the drain hose can be extended to a length of 5 metres. The accessories required can be purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Dept.

For draining the water away with a delivery head over 1 metre (and up to a max. of 1.8 metres) a 2nd "Duo-drain pump" is available together with the corresponding kit from your Miele Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Dept.
