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 instructions in a safeplace and ensure that new users arefamiliar with the content. Pass themon to any future owner of themachine.

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 match the mainselectricity supply. If in any doubt,consult a qualified 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 themachine 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and the plug is withdrawn, or– it is switched off at the mains, or– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

– the screw-out fuse is removed (incountries where this is applicable).

Warning and safety instructions



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 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 or split.The reliability of the electronic controlunit may be impaired at temperaturesbelow freezing point.

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

fittings at the rear of the machine havebeen 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.

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 CustomerService 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, e.g. those containing

benzene, in this machine, as this mayresult in damage to component partsand create toxic fumes. Such agentsalso pose a fire and explosion 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.

Description of the machine



Display

The display shows:

– the programme duration (Time leftdisplay)

– delay start

– the programmable functions

Programme duration

After the start of a programme, theestimated programme duration willappear in the display in hours andminutes.

When delay start is being used, theprogramme duration will appear afterthe delay start time has elapsed.

During the first 10 minutes the washingmachine measures how much water isbeing absorbed by the laundry anduses this to calculate the load. Theprogramme duration may be longer orshorter depending on this absorbencyrate.

Delay start

The delay start time selected willappear in the display.

After the machine has started, thedelay start time counts down. If thedelay start time is more than 10 hours, itwill count down by the hour. If it is lessthan 9 hours and 59 minutes it willcount down minute by minute.

Once the delay start time has finished,the programme begins and theestimated programme duration showsin the display.

Programmable functions

The programmable functions can beused to tailor washing programmes tosuit your individual requirements. Inprogramming mode, the display willshow the function selected.

Description of the machine



Before using the machine for the firsttime ensure that it is correctlyinstalled and connected. See"Installation and connection". Alsocheck that the drain filter is securelytightened. Otherwise there is a riskof water leakage during use.

For safety reasons spinning is notpossible until the machine has beenprepared for using for the first time. Toactivate the spinning function you mustrun a wash programme without laundryand without detergent.

Using detergent could result in anexcessive build-up of foam.

This also activates the ball valve. Theball valve prevents detergent escapingfrom the suds container into the sumpduring a wash programme, thus makingmaximum use of the detergent.

^ Open the stopcock.

^ Press the I-On/0-Off button in.

^ Turn the programme selector toCottons 60°C.

^ Press Start.

When this programme has finished turnthe programme selector to Finish. Yourwashing machine is ready for using forthe first time.

Before using for the first time



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 Expressprogrammes for small loads.

– When smaller amounts of laundry arewashed using the Cottonsprogrammes, the automatic loadrecognition system will reduce theamount of water, time and energyused. This may mean that the timeleft shown in the display is adjustedduring the course of the washprogramme.

– Using the Cottons 60°C programmeinstead of the Cottons 95°Cprogramme will give energy savingsof between 35% and 45%. This issufficient for most levels of soiling.For stubborn or old stains, use theSoak option.

– Use the additional option Soakinstead of Pre-wash. If Soak isfollowed immediately by a mainwash, the same suds are used.

Detergent

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

– Reduce the amount of detergent withsmaller loads (approx. 1/3 less thanthe amount recommended can beused when washing a half load).

Additional options(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)

Select:

– A wash programme together with theShort option for light to normal soilingwhere there are no obvious marks.

– A wash programme without anyadditional options for normal toheavy soiling with visible staining.

– A wash programme together with theSoak option for heavily soiledlaundry.

– The Pre-wash additional option forlaundry with large amounts of dirt(e.g. dust, sand).

When drying with a tumble dryer

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

Washing environmentally and economically



Brief instructionsThe headings numbered A, B, C, . . .show the operating sequence and canbe used as brief instructions.

ASort the laundry

^ Empty all pockets.

,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,coins, paper clips, etc.) can causedamage to garments andcomponents in the machine.

^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. shouldbe cleaned as soon as possible,preferably whilst still fresh. Spillagesshould be carefully dabbed off usinga soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!

Badly soiled areas can be pre-treatedwith liquid detergent, stain removersetc. first, following the manufacturer'sinstructions. With particularly stubbornstains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

,If you use a solvent-based clean-ing agent (e.g. one containing ben-zene) to pre-treat a stain, make surethat any plastic parts (e.g. buttons)are protected, and that the cleaningagent is rinsed off before washing thegarment in the machine.

,Do not use solvent-basedcleaning agents in this machine.

^ Sort the laundry by colour and bycare label. Most garments have atextile care label in the collar or sideseam.

Dark textiles often contain excess dyeand should be washed separatelyseveral times before being included ina mixed load. Always wash whites andcoloureds separately.– Curtains: Remove lead weights first

or place in a laundry bag.– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:

Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collarstiffeners, etc. should be removed orsewn in.

– Knitted garments, trousers andjeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turninside out, if recommended by themanufacturer.

– Close any zips, fasten hooks andeyes etc before washing.

– Fasten duvet covers etc. to preventsmall items from being rolled upinside them.

Do not wash any items in this machinewhich are specified by themanufacturer as not washable on thecare label. (h symbol)

How to wash correctly

CLoad the drum

^ Press the Door 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 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 gentle swing.

DSelect Delay start (if required)

Make sure that the programmeselector is at the d Finish position.

^ Press the Start button to set the delaystart time.

HAdd detergent

It is important to dispense the correctamount, because . . .

. . . too little detergent results in:

– Laundry not getting properly cleanand and in time becoming grey andhard to the touch.

– Greasy particles clinging to thelaundry.

– Limescale deposits on the heaterelements.

. . . too much results in:

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

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

– A burden to the environment.

^ Pull out the detergent drawer andplace detergent in the compartmentsas follows:

i

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

Programme sequence



This washing machine has fullyelectronic controls with automatic loadrecognition. It takes in the right amountof water required for the programmedepending on the amount of laundryand its absorbency rate. This meansthat programme cycles and durationscan vary.

The programme sequences outlined inthe chart are based on the basicprogramme with a full load. Additionaloptions which can be selected have notbeen taken into account.

The programme sequence displayshows the stage the programme hasreached.

Special features in the programmesequences:

Anti-crease:

At the end of every programme, withthe exception of the Woollensprogramme, the drum continues to turnat intervals for up to 30 minutes to helpprevent creasing. The door can beopened and laundry removed at anytime during the anti-crease phase.1) The water level in the rinses is

increased when a temperature below60°C is selected.

A third rinse is carried out if:

– there is too much foam in the drum

– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm hasbeen selected

– Without spin has been selected2) A third rinse is carried out if:

Without spin has been selected

The correct detergentAll modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable.Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tabletsare suitable for full loads but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets forsmaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others and may not besuitable for programmes with short durations.

Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk!Instructions for use and recommended amounts for a full load are given on thedetergent packaging.

Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufacturerfor programmes without a pre-wash.

For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special containerfrom the Miele Spare Parts department which sits in the main wash compartmentj of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent to this container forthe main wash and to compartment i for the pre-wash.

The right amount to dispense willdepend on the following:

– The quantity of laundry.

– The soiling level of the laundry.

Lightly soiledNo visible dirt or stains.

Normally soiledVisibly dirty and/or just a few slightstains.

Heavily soiledVisible dirt and stains and/or dried onsoiling.

– The water hardness level.Check with your local water supplierif you do not know the hardness levelin your area.

Water softenersA water softener can be used to cutdown on the use of detergents in hardwater areas. Dispense according to theamount specified on the packaging.First add detergent and then the watersoftener.

Use a quantity of detergent as for softwater.

Miele do not recommend connectingthe machine to a household watersoftener.

Washing with severalcomponentsIf you wash using several components(e.g. special application detergents),we recommend always dispensing theagents into compartment j in thefollowing order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softener

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributedmore evenly.

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.

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 bars

^ To remove the left and right covers

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

2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.




^ 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.




^ 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.




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.

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.




The fitting of building under kits andstacking kits must only beundertaken by qualified andcompetent persons, in accordancewith the instructions supplied withthe kit.

Building under a continuousworktop/in a kitchen run

If you wish to push your machine undera worktop and there is space to do thiswithout removing the lid, theconversion kit is not necessary.Otherwise the conversion kit isessential.

– A special building under conversionkit* is required.The machine lid must be replaced bya cover plate. To ensure electricalsafety the cover plate must be fitted.

– For installation under a work surface900/910 mm from the floor, a raisingkit* is required.

– Connections for electricity, water anddrainage should be installed in sucha way that they remain accessiblewhen the machine is in place.

Fitting instructions are supplied with theconversion kit.

All parts marked* are available fromyour Dealer or the Miele Spare PartsDepartment.

Washer and Dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stackedwith the washing machine. A "WTV"stacking kit* is necessary and can bepurchased from the Miele Spare PartsDepartment.

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.




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 tothe mains water supply in accordancewith local and national safetyregulations. The German authorities donot require it to have a non-return valveas the washing machine has beendesigned to comply with DINregulations.

The machine is designed to operatewith a flow pressure of between 100and 1,000 kPa (1-10 bar). If it is higherthan 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit apressure reducing valve.

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.




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.




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.




Electrical connection U.K.All electrical work should be carried outby a suitably qualified and competentperson, in strict accordance withcurrent national and local safetyregulations (BS 7671 in the UK).

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.

Please ensure the connection dataquoted on the data plate match thehousehold mains supply.

Connection should be made via asuitable switched socket which is easilyaccessible after installation.

For extra safety it is advisable to installa residual current device (RCD), with atrip current of 30 mA (in accordancewith DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section739).

Do not connect via an extension lead.Extension leads do not guarantee therequired safety of the appliance (e.g.danger of overheating).

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

The fuse cover must be refitted whenchanging the fuse, and if the fuse coveris lost, the plug must not be used until asuitable replacement is obtained. Thecolour of the correct replacement coveris that of the coloured insert in the baseof the plug, or the colour that isembossed in words on the base of theplug (as applicable to the design ofplug fitted).

Replacement fuses should be ASTAapproved to BS 1362 and have thecorrect rating. Replacement fuses andfuse covers may be purchased fromyour local electrical supplier.
