Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-

ial

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

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

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

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

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

6

Warning and Safety instructions

This washing machine complies with all current local and national safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property.

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washing machine. They contain important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the washing machine.

In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the chapter on installing the washing machine as well as the safety instructions and warnings.

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

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.

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.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

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 consequences of incorrect operation.

Safety with children

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the washing machine unless they are constantly supervised.

Children 8 years and older may only use the washing machine unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise 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 “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) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaranteed 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 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 original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee 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 warranty.

While the washing machine is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.

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 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.

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 warranty.

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.

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 lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department.

This washing machine contains 1 light source corresponding to energy efficiency rating G.

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 - Removing the transit bars”). During spinning, a transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.

Flooding danger.

If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Make sure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowing out of the hose does not dislodge it.

Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

11

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 dissipated.

The maximum load for this washing machine is 9.0 kg (dry weight). See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.

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

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

Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.

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

Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

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 and spare parts

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

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

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

Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for 15 years following the discontinuation of your washing machine.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance

with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Miele@home

Your washing machine is equipped with an integrated WiFi module.

In order to use it you need:

-a WiFi network

-the Miele@mobile App

-a Miele user account. The user account can be created via the Miele@mobile App.

The Miele@mobile App will guide you as you connect your washing machine to your home WiFi network.

Once your washing machine is connected to your WiFi network you can use the App, for example, to carry the following activities:

-Operate your washing machine remotely

-Access information about the operating status of your washing machine

-Access information about a programme sequence on your washing machine

Connecting your washing machine to your WiFi network will increase energy consumption, even when the washing machine is switched off.

Before installing the washing machine in its final location, ensure the signal strength is sufficient for your WiFi network.

Availability of the WiFi connection

The WiFi connection shares a frequency range with other appliances (including microwave ovens and remote control toys). This can give rise to sporadic or even complete connection failures. Therefore, the availability of featured functions cannot be guaranteed.

Miele@home availability

The ability to use the Miele@mobile app depends on the availability of the Miele@home service in your country.

The Miele@home service is not available in every country.

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

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

For example, the

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

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

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

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

-Use the hot water connection to save energy.

-You have the option to use alternative water supplies (e.g. rain water).

Hygiene in the washing ma-

chine

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

When the message Hygiene info: Select

“Maintenance” and run the “Clean ma-

chine” programme. appears in the dis-

play, the washing machine must be

cleaned.

Information about subsequent

tumble drying

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

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

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

2. Actual consumption

You can view information about the energy and water consumption of your washing machine with the pull-down menu.

The following information will appear in the display:

-An estimate of the energy and water consumption before the programme begins.

-The actual energy and water consumption during the programme or at the end of the programme.

		Overview	11:02

				Spin speed
		Temperature
		40 °C		1600 rpm
	Cottons	TwinDos		Extras
	1:57 h	not selected		not selected
	Timer			Save

Open the pull-down menu.

1. Estimate

The estimated energy and water consumption levels will be displayed as a bar chart on the right-hand side.

The more bars visible, the higher the energy or water consumption.

The estimate will vary depending on the wash programme, temperature and any Extras selected.

You can view the actual amount of energy and water used by a programme both during and at the end of the programme.

The costs can also be displayed. See “Settings - Consumption” for more detailed information on costs.

The consumption will alter as the programme progresses.

If the door is opened or the machine has switched off automatically at the end of the programme, the data will revert to the estimated consumption.

Tip: You can view the consumption data for the last wash programme and for total consumption (see “Settings, Consumption”).

1. Prepare the laundry

Empty all pockets.

Damage due to foreign objects.

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

Check the laundry before washing and remove any foreign objects.

Sort the laundry

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

Tip: Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.

Pre-treating stains

Badly soiled areas and stains should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.

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

Damage due to solvent-based cleaning agents

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

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

Risk of explosion due to solventbased cleaning agents.

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

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

General tips

-Curtains: Remove lead weights first or place in a laundry bag.

-Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc. should be removed or sewn in.

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

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

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