To avoid the risk of accidents anddamage to the machine please readthese instructions carefully beforeusing it for the first time. Theycontain important information on itssafety, use and maintenance.Keep these operating instructions ina safe place and ensure that newusers are familiar with the content.Pass them on to any future owner ofthe machine.

Correct usageOnly use the washing machine towash items which are specified by

the manufacturer to be machine-wash-able on the wash-care label, and tex-tiles composed of hand-washable woolor wool blend fabrics as well as satin,lace, silk and other hand-washablegarments.Any other applications may be danger-ous. The manufacturer is not liable fordamage resulting from improper use oroperation.

Technical safetyBefore setting up the machine,check it for any externally visible

damage. Do not install and use adamaged machine.

Before connecting the machine,ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (voltage and connectedload) match the mains electricitysupply. If in any doubt, consult aqualified electrician.

The electrical safety of thismachine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete betweenthe machine and an effective earthingsystem which complies with local andnational regulations. It is most importantthat this basic safety requirement ispresent and regularly tested and wherethere is any doubt the household wiringsystem should be inspected by aqualified electrician.The manufacturer cannot be held liablefor the consequences of an inadequateearthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Do not connect the machine to themains electricity supply by an

extension lead. Extension leads do notguarantee the required safety of themachine (e.g. danger of overheating).

The machine is built in accordancewith current safety requirements.

Unauthorised repairs could result inunforeseen dangers for the user, forwhich the manufacturer cannot acceptliability. Repairs should only beundertaken by a Miele approvedtechnician.Ensure current is not supplied to theappliance until after maintenance orrepair work has been carried out.

The machine is only completelyisolated 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and the plug is withdrawn, or– it is switched off at the mains, or– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Warning and safety instructions

6

The Miele "Water protectionsystem" protects from water

damage provided the followingconditions have been met:

– the machine is correctly plumbed inand connected to the electricitysupply.

– if a fault has been identified, themachine must be examined by acompetent person before further use,and repaired if necessary.

Faulty components must only bereplaced by genuine Miele original

spare parts. Only when these parts arefitted can the safety standards of themachine be guaranteed.

If the connection cable is faulty itmust only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protectthe user from danger.

In countries where there are areaswhich may be subject to infestation

by cockroaches or other vermin, payparticular attention to keeping themachine and its surroundings in aclean condition at all times. Anydamage which may be caused bycockroaches or other vermin will not becovered by the machine guarantee.

UseThis equipment may only be usedin mobile installations such as

ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a riskassessment of the installation has beencarried out by a suitably qualifiedengineer.

Do not install your washingmachine in rooms where

temperatures below freezing mayoccur. Frozen hoses may burst underpressure. The reliability of the electroniccontrol unit may be impaired attemperatures below freezing point.

Before using the machine for thefirst time, check that the transit

fitting at the rear of the machine hasbeen removed (see section on"Installation"). During spinning, a transitfitting which is still in place may result indamage to both the machine andadjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if themachine is to be left for any length

of time (e.g. holiday), especially if thereis no floor drain (gully) in the immediatevicinity.

Flooding dangerIf hooking the drain hose into a

wash basin, check that the water candrain off quickly enough to prevent thesink from overflowing.Make sure the drain hose is secure, sothat the force of the water flowing out ofthe hose does not dislodge it.Otherwise this will result in flooding.

Take care to ensure that foreignobjects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,

paper clips) do not find their way intothe machine with the laundry. Thesemay damage components of themachine (e.g. suds container, drum),which in turn can result in damage tothe laundry.

If the correct amount of detergentis dispensed, the machine should

not need to be descaled. If, however,you do wish to descale the machineonly use proprietary non-corrosivedescaling agents and strictly observethe instructions on the packaging. If indoubt, contact the Miele Customer Ser-vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.

Textiles which have beenpre-treated in solvent based

cleaning agents must be thoroughlyrinsed in clean water before beingwashed in the machine.

Never use solvent based cleaningagents in this machine, as this may

result in damage to component partsand create toxic fumes. Suchdetergents also pose a fire andexplosion hazard.

Only use dyes specified by themanufacturer as being suitable for

use in a domestic washing machine.Always observe the manufacturer'sinstructions carefully.

Colour run and dye removerscontain sulphur compounds which

can cause damage such as corrosion.Do not use these products in thismachine.

Always make sure the drum isstationary before reaching in to

remove washing. Reaching into amoving drum is extremely dangerous.

Safety with childrenThis machine is not a toy! To avoidthe risk of injury do not allow

children to play on or near it or to playwith the controls. Supervise its use bythe elderly or infirm, and supervisechildren whilst you are operating themachine.

For machines with a ‘porthole’door, remember that the porthole

glass will be hot when washing at veryhigh temperatures. Do not let childrentouch it.

Energy and water consumption

– Water consumption and energyusage are determined by the size ofthe load.To make the most out of yourmachine load the maximum dry loadfor the programme you are using.

– Use the Automatic and Quick washprogrammes for small loads.

– If smaller loads are washed using theCottons Hygiene and the CottonsUniversal programmes, the automat-ic load recognition system willreduce the amount of water, time andenergy used. This may mean that thetime left shown in the display isadjusted during the course of thewash programme.

– Instead of using Cottons Hygiene95°, use Cottons Universal 60° andselect the Extra option Intensive. Thiswill give an energy saving ofbetween 35% and 45%. Theprogramme duration will be longer.This combination is sufficient formost levels of soiling. For stubbornor old stains, use the Extra optionSoak.

Detergent

– Do not exceed the amounts ofdetergent recommended by themanufacturer on the packaging.

– Reduce the amount of detergent forsmaller loads (use the Detergentsub-menu).

Choosing the correct Extra options(Soak, Pre-wash, Intensive)

Select:

a wash programme without any Extraoptions for light to normal soilingwhere there are no obvious marks.

a wash programme with the Extraoption Intensive for normal to heavilysoiled laundry with visible staining.

– Use the Extra option Soak instead ofPre-wash. If Soak is followed immedi-ately by a main wash the same sudsare used.

When drying with a tumble dryer

– Selecting the highest possible spinspeed for the wash programme willsave energy when drying in a tumbledryer afterwards.

If required, you can then select anyExtra and/or Delay start from therelevant sub-menu.

D Load the drum

^ Press the a button to open thedrum door.

^ Unfold the laundry and load looselyin the drum. Mixing both large andsmall items gives better wash resultsand also helps distribute the loadevenly during spinning.

The load size and the detergentindicators will appear.

The display shows the amount oflaundry loaded in the drum as a % (in25% steps) of the maximum loadpermissible for the programmeselected. Please refer to "Addingdetergent" for more information.

The most efficient use of energy andwater is achieved when a full load iswashed. However, do not overload asthis causes creases and reducescleaning efficiency.

Make sure that no garments arecaught between the drum door andseal.

^ Shut the door with a firm swing.


16

E Add detergent

The percentage amounts in the displaywill help you to add the correctpercentage amount of detergentrecommended by the manufacturer.

40% Add slightly less than half theamount recommended . . .

50% Add half the amountrecommended . . .

60% Add slightly more than half theamount recommended . . .

75% Add three quarters of theamount recommended . . .

100% Add the full amount

You also need to take the level ofsoiling and water hardness intoaccount.

too little detergent results in:

– Laundry not getting properly cleanand with time it may become greyand hard to the touch.

– Greasy particles clinging to thelaundry.

– Limescale deposits on the heaterelements.

too much detergent results in:

– Excessive foam which causes a lowlevel of agitation and poor wash,rinse and spin results.

– High water consumption (anadditional rinse cycle willautomatically switch in).

– A burden to the environment.

^ Pull out the detergent drawer andadd detergent to the compartmentsas follows:

i

Detergent for the pre-wash(add 1/4 of the total amountrecommended). This compartment isalso used for starch formulationswhen starching separately.

All modern detergents produced forautomatic washing machines aresuitable, including liquid, compact(concentrated), tablets, liquid tabletsand special application detergents.Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if theseare supplied with the detergent. Tabletsare suitable for full loads but note that itmay be impractical to reduce tablets forsmaller loads. Some tablets do notdissolve as rapidly as others and maynot be suitable for Quick washprogrammes.

Silks, woollens and knitwear containingwool mixtures and hand-washablegarments should be washed using aliquid detergent specifically designedfor washing woollens. Do not usebiological detergents on silk as theenzymes may damage the silk!

Instructions for use and recommendedamounts for a full load are given on thedetergent packaging.

Liquid detergent should be dispensedusing a ball provided by themanufacturer for programmes without apre-wash.

For programmes with a pre-wash youwill need to purchase a specialcontainer from the Miele Spare Partsdepartment which sits in the main washcompartment j of the detergentdispenser drawer. Add liquid detergentto this container for the main wash andto compartment i for the pre-wash.

The right amount to dispense willdepend on the following:

– The quantity of laundry (follow themachine’s dispensingrecommendation and reduce theamount of detergent with smallerloads as indicated on the display)

– The soiling level of the laundry.Lightly soiled No visible dirt or stains.Possibly slight body odour.Normally soiled Visibly dirty and/orjust a few slight stains.Heavily soiled Stains and soilingclearly visible.

– The water hardness level. Check withyour local water supplier if you do notknow the water hardness level inyour area.

Water softenersA water softener can be used to cutdown on the use of detergents inextremely hard water areas. Dispenseaccording to the amount specified onthe packaging. First add detergent andthen the water softener. Use a quantityof detergent as for soft water. Miele donot recommend connecting themachine to a household water softener.

Washing with severalcomponentsIf you wash using several components(e.g. special application detergents),dispense them into compartment j inthe following order:1. Detergent2. Water softener3. Stain removerThis way the agents are distributedmore efficiently.

Installation surfaceA concrete floor is the most suitableinstallation surface for a washingmachine, being far less prone tovibration during the spin cycle thanwooden floorboards or a carpetedsurface.

Please note the following points:

^ The machine must be level andsecurely positioned.

^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,the machine should not be installedon soft floor coverings.

If installing on a wooden joist floor:

^ We recommend a plywood base(at least 59x52x3 cm). The baseshould span several joists and bebolted to the joists and not only to thefloorboards. Check for the presenceof pipes and cables.

If possible, install the machine in acorner, as this is usually the most stablepart of the floor.

,If the machine is installed on araised plinth, it has to be securedagainst slippage during spinningusing retaining clips (available fromthe Miele Spare Parts Dept).

Installing the washing machineTo manoeuvre the machine out of itspacking case to its installation site holdit by the edge of the lid where itprotrudes to the rear of the washingmachine as well as by the handlerecesses at the front.

Please note:

^ Do not lift the machine by the drumdoor.

,Ensure that the machine feet andthe floor are dry to prevent themachine from slipping during thespin cycle.

Removing the transit fittings

^ To remove the left and right covers

1. Use a screwdriver to prise out thecover as illustrated.

2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.


53

^ Using the spanner supplied turn theleft-hand transit bar 90°, then

^ withdraw the transit bar.

^ Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,then

^ withdraw the transit bar.


54

^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.Then plug the holes as shown withthe caps.

^ Secure the transit bars to the back ofthe washing machine. Make sure thatholes b are fitted over retainers a.

,The washing machine must notbe moved without the transit bars inplace.Store the transit bars as shown orkeep them in a safe place for futureuse. They must be re-fitted if themachine is to be moved again(e.g.when moving house).

Re-fitting the transit barsRe-fitting is carried out by reversing theprocedure.


55

Levelling the machineThe machine must stand perfectly levelon all four feet to ensure safe andproper operation.

Incorrect installation may increaseelectricity and water consumption andmay cause the machine to move about.

False values may also show in the Loadand Detergent display.

Screwing out and adjusting the feet

The four adjustable screw feet are usedto level the machine. All four feet arescrewed in when the machine isdelivered.

^ Using the spanner supplied turncounter nut 2 in a clockwisedirection. Then turn counter nut 2together with foot 1 to unscrew.

^ Use a spirit level to check themachine is standing level.

^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipewrench. Turn counter nut 2 againusing the spanner supplied until itsits firmly up against the housing.

,All four counternuts must befirmly up against the housing. Pleasealso check this for the feet which didnot need adjustment. Otherwisethere is the danger of the machinemoving about.


56

This washing machine is not suitablefor building under a worktop.

Washer and Dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stackedwith the washing machine. A stackingkit* is necessary and can be purchasedfrom the Miele Spare PartsDepartment.

Please note:

a Safety distance to wall:at least 2 cm

b Height: Stacking kit withpull-out shelf: approx. 172 cmstacking kit withoutpull-out shelf: approx. 170 cm

c Depth of the washer-dryer stack:approx. 63 cm


57

The Miele Waterproof systemThe Miele Waterproof system protectsthe washing machine from waterdamage.

The system consists of three maincomponents:

1) the inlet hose

2) the electronic unit and the washingmachine housing

3) the drain hose

1) Inlet hose

– The inlet hose is fitted with anadditional electrical safety valvewhich works like an automaticstopcock and is housed in the inlethose connection box.

– It is pressure tested to between7,000 and 10,000 kPa.

– The inlet hose has a protectivesleeve.

Any leaking water from the inlet hoseis fed into the sump through thisprotective sleeve. A float switches offthe safety valve, preventing any morewater from flowing into the machineand water in the suds container ispumped away.

2) Electronic unit and washingmachine housing

– Sump

Any leaking water is collected in asump in the base of the machine. Afloat switches off the safety valves,preventing any more water fromflowing into the machine and water inthe suds container is pumped away.

– Overflow protection

This prevents the washing machinetaking in too much water. If the waterlevel exceeds a certain level, thedrain pump switches in and pumpsthe excess water away.

3) Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by aventilation system which prevents thewashing machine from beingemptied completely.


58

Connection to the water supply

,The plastic casing of the safetyvalve contains electricalcomponents. The Waterproof systemmust only be connected to its ownstopcock. It must not be connectedto mixer taps or similar and must notbe fitted in areas where there is therisk of water or other liquidsreaching it.

Do not get wet.

The protective sleeve of the hosemust not be damaged or kinked.

The machine should be connected to amains water supply in accordance withlocal and national safety regulations.The German authorities do not require itto have a non-return valve as thewashing machine has been designedto comply with DIN regulations.

The machine is designed to operatewith a flow pressure of between 100and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a reducervalve.

Connection to the mains water supplyshould incorporate a mains stopcockwith 3/4" thread. The stopcock shouldbe fitted by a qualified plumber.

,The connection point is subjectto mains water pressure. Turn on thestopcock slowly and check for leaks.Correct the position of the washerand union if appropriate.

The washing machine is not suitablefor connection to a hot water supplyand connection to a householdwater softener is not recommended.


59

Maintenance and care

If you intend to unscrew the MieleWaterproof system hose from thestopcock it is essential to disconnectthe machine from the electricity supplyfirst.

Only use a Miele Waterproof systemhose should you need a replacement.

In order to protect the water inletvalve, the dirt filter in the water inletvalve connection must not beremoved.

Extension hose

A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hoseis available from your Miele dealer orthe Miele Spare Parts Department as anoptional extra.

This hose is tested to withstandpressures of up to 14,000 kPa and canbe used as a flexible extension to thewater supply.

N.B. Using this hose renders theWaterproof system safety valve on theinlet hose ineffective.


60

Connection to the drainagesystemThe machine drains via a drain pumpwith a delivery head of 1 metre*.

The drain hose must not be kinked asthis restricts drainage. The swivel elbowat the end of the hose can be turned ineither direction, or can be detached ifrequired, with a sharp twist and pull.

If required, the drain hose can beextended to a length of 5 m. Thenecessary parts can be purchasedfrom the Miele Spare Parts Departmentor your Miele dealer.

* For a delivery head of more than 1 m(up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a secondduo-drain pump is available with thecorresponding kit from the Miele SpareParts Department or your Miele Dealer.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin:

Please note the following

– Hook the hose over the edge andsecure.

– Make sure that the water can drainaway freely without hindrance.Otherwise there is a risk of wateroverflowing or of some of the drainedwater being sucked back into themachine.

2. Connected securely to a plastic drainpipe with a rubber nipple. There is noneed to use a non-return valve.

3. Connected securely to a standpipe.

4. Connected securely to a floor gully.


61

Electrical connection U.K.All electrical work should be carried outby a suitably qualified and competentperson, in strict accordance withnational and local safety regulations.

Ensure power is not supplied to theappliance until after installation workhas been carried out.

The appliance is supplied with a mainscable with moulded plug ready forconnection to a 230-240V mainssupply. The voltage and connectedload are given on the data plate.Please ensure these match thehousehold mains supply. The fuserating is quoted on the plug.
