Warning and safety instructions

load) match the mains electricity

supply. If in any doubt, consult a

qualified electrician.

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 maintenance.

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.

The electrical safety of this

machine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between

the machine and an effective earthing

system which complies with local and

national regulations. It is most important

that this basic safety requirement is

present and regularly tested and where

there is any doubt the household wiring

system should be inspected by a

qualified electrician.

Correct usage

The manufacturer cannot be held liable

for the consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Only use the washing machine to

wash items which are specified by

the manufacturer to be machine-wash-

able on the wash-care label, and tex-

tiles composed of hand-washable wool

or wool blend fabrics as well as satin,

lace, silk and other hand-washable

garments.

Any other applications may be danger-

ous. The manufacturer is not liable for

damage resulting from improper use or

operation.

Do not connect the machine to the

mains electricity supply by an

extension lead. Extension leads do not

guarantee the required safety of the

machine (e.g. danger of overheating).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements.

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 approved

technician.

This machine is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury do not allow

children to play on or near it or to

play with the controls. Supervise its

use by the elderly or infirm.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

appliance until after maintenance or

repair work has been carried out.

Technical safety

The machine is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply

when:

Before setting up the machine,

check it for any externally visible

damage. Do not install and use a

damaged machine.

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug is withdrawn, or

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (voltage and connected

temperatures below freezing point.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original

spare parts. Only when these parts are

fitted can the safety standards of the

machine be guaranteed.

Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the transit

fitting 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.

If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protect

the user from danger.

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.

In countries where there are 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

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.

Use

This equipment may only be used

in mobile installations such as

ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk

assessment of the installation has been

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

Otherwise this will result in flooding.

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.

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.

Safety with children

This machine is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury do not allow

children to play on or near it or to play

with the controls. Supervise its use by

the elderly or infirm, and supervise

children whilst you are operating the

machine.

For machines with a ‘porthole’

door, remember that the porthole

glass will be hot when washing at very

high temperatures. Do not let children

touch it.

Textiles which have been pre-

treated in solvent based cleaning

agents must be thoroughly rinsed in

clean water before being washed in the

machine.

Never use solvent based cleaning

agents in this machine, as this may

result in damage to component parts

and create toxic fumes. Such

detergents also pose a fire and

explosion hazard.

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.

Only use dyes specified by the

manufacturer as being suitable for

use in a domestic washing machine.

Always observe the manufacturer's

instructions carefully.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine,

switch it off at the wall socket and

unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut

off the cable directly behind the

appliance to prevent misuse. This

should be done by a competent

person.

Colour run and dye removers

contain sulphur compounds which

can cause damage such as corrosion.

Do not use these products in this

machine.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by non-

compliance with these Warning and

Safety instructions.

Always make sure the drum is

stationary before reaching in to

remove washing. Reaching into a

moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Programme duration

After a programme has started, the

maximum programme duration (wash

time) will appear in the display in hours

and minutes.

In the Cottons, Minimum iron and Auto-

matic programmes, the machine

measures the amount of water

absorbed by the laundry and uses this

to calculate the load during the first 10

minutes. If the machine recognises a

smaller load it will shorten the

programme time.

Before using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first

time ensure that it is correctly

installed and connected. See the

relevant section under "Installation".

Also check that the fluff filter is

securely tightened. Otherwise there

is a risk of water leakage during use.

For safety reasons spinning is not

possible until the machine has been

prepared for using for the first time. To

activate the spinning function you must

run a wash programme without laundry

and without detergent.

Using detergent could result in an

excessive build-up of foam.

This also activates the ball valve. The

ball valve prevents detergent escaping

from the suds container into the sump

during a wash programme, thus making

maximum use of the detergent.

^ Open the stopcock.

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

^ Turn the programme selector to

Cottons 40°C.

^ Press Start.

When this programme has finished turn

the programme selector to Finish. Your

washing machine is ready for using for

the first time.

laundry.

smaller loads (approx. ¹/₃less than

the amount recommended can be

used when washing a half load).

– When smaller amounts of laundry are

washed in the Cottons programmes,

the automatic load recognition

system will reduce the amount of

water, time and energy used. This

may mean that the programme

duration alters during the course of

the wash programme.

Detergent

All modern detergents produced for

automatic washing machines are

suitable, including liquid, compact

(concentrated), tablets, liquid tablets

and special application detergents.

Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these

are supplied with the detergent. Tablets

are suitable for full loads but note that it

may be impractical to reduce tablets for

smaller loads. Some tablets do not

dissolve as rapidly as others and may

not be suitable for Quick wash

The right amount to dispense will

depend on the following:

– The quantity of laundry.

– 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 water hardness level.

Check with your local water supplier

if you do not know the water

hardness level in your area.

programmes.

Woollens and knitwear containing wool

mixtures and hand-washable garments

should be washed using a detergent

specifically designed for washing

woollens.

Water softeners

Silk should be washed using a liquid

detergent specifically designed for

washing woollens. Do not use

biological detergents on silk as the

enzymes may damage the silk!

A water softener can be used to cut

down on the use of detergents in

extremely hard water areas. Dispense

according to the amount specified on

the packaging. First add detergent and

then the water softener.

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft

water.

Miele do not recommend connecting

the machine to a household water

softener.

Instructions for use and recommended

amounts for a full load are given on the

detergent packaging.

Liquid detergent

Liquid detergent should be dispensed

using a ball provided by the manufac-

turer for programmes without a pre-

wash.

Washing with several

components

If you wash using several components

(e.g. special application detergents),

dispense them into compartment j in

the following order:

For programmes with a pre-wash you

will need to purchase a special con-

Cleaning and care

Extra cleaning

,^{Disconnect the machine from the}

mains electricity supply and

withdraw the plug from the socket

prior to cleaning the machine.

Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)

with powder detergent approx. every 6

weeks to help prevent deposits building

up in the machine. These can occur

when washing is mainly done at low

temperatures, and also lead to

unpleasant smells. If you have no

reason to wash occasionally at this high

temperature, then run a Cottons 95°C

programme with detergent but no

laundry at regular intervals.

^ Clean the casing with a mild non-

abrasive detergent or soap and

water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

^ Clean the fascia panel with a damp

cloth and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

^ The drum can be cleaned using a

suitable proprietary stainless-steel

cleaning agent following the

manufacturer's instructions on the

packaging.

,^{Do not use solvents, abrasive}

cleaners, glass cleaners or all-

purpose cleaning agents. These

might damage plastic surfaces and

other components because of the

chemicals they contain.

The washing machine must not be

hosed down.

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. It

can be washed 300 times.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

Remove detergent residues regularly.

^ Clean the siphon.

1. Remove the siphon from

compartment §. Wash under

running warm water. Clean the

siphon tube in the same way.

^ Pull out the detergent dispenser

drawer until a resistance is felt. Press

down the release catch and at the

same time pull the drawer right out of

the machine.

2. Replace the siphon.

Over time, detergent residue can build

up in the water jets in the top of the

detergent drawer housing.

^ Clean the detergent drawer with

warm water.

^ Before replacing the detergent

drawer, use a bottle brush or similar

to clean them out.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the water inlet filters

To clean the filter in the water inlet

valve

The washing machine has two filters to

protect the inlet valves.

^ Using pliers, carefully loosen the

ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve

and unscrew.

These filters should be checked every

six months or so, or more often if there

are frequent interruptions to the water

supply.

To clean the filter in the union in the

open end of the inlet hose:

^ First turn off the stopcock.

^ Use pointed nose pliers to withdraw

the plastic filter by the bar (see

illustration). Clean, put back and

secure.

The two filters must be put back in

place after cleaning.

^ Unscrew the threaded union

connecting the free end of the inlet

hose to the stopcock.

^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the

recess.

^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the

plastic filter bar 2, remove the filter

and clean it.

^ Put the filter and seal back in the

reverse order and reconnect the

hose.

^ Turn on the stopcock and check the

connection is watertight. If it leaks,

tighten the connection.

Installation and connection

Installation surface

Installing the washing machine

A concrete floor is the most suitable

installation surface for a washing

machine, being far less prone to

vibration during the spin cycle than

wooden floorboards or a carpeted

surface.

To manoeuvre the machine out of its

packing case to its installation site hold

it by the edge of the lid where it

protrudes to the rear of the washing

machine as well as by the handle

recesses at the front.

Please note the following points:

Please note:

^ The machine must be level and

securely positioned.

^ Do not lift the machine by the drum

door.

^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,

the machine should not be installed

on soft floor coverings.

,^{Ensure that the machine feet and}

the floor are dry to prevent the

machine from slipping during the

spin cycle.

If installing on a wooden joist floor:

^ We recommend 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 the presence

of pipes and cables.

Removing the transit fittings

If possible, install the machine in a

corner, as this is usually the most stable

part of the floor.

,^{If the machine is installed on a}

raised plinth, it has to be secured

against slippage during spinning

using retaining clips (available from

the Miele Spare Parts Dept).

^ To remove the left and right covers

1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the

cover as illustrated.

2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

Installation and connection

^ Using the spanner supplied turn the

left-hand transit bar 90°, then

^ Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,

then

^ withdraw the transit bar.

Installation and connection

,^{The washing machine must not}

be moved without the transit bars in

place.

Store the transit bars 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.

^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.

Then plug the holes as shown with

the caps.

^ Secure the transit bars to the back of

the washing machine. Make sure that

holes b are fitted over retainers a.

Installation and connection

Levelling the machine

The machine must stand perfectly level

on all four feet to ensure safe and

proper operation.

^ Using the spanner supplied turn

counter nut 2 in a clockwise

direction. Then turn counter nut 2

together with foot 1 to unscrew.

^ Use a spirit level to check the

machine is standing level.

Incorrect installation may increase

electricity and water consumption and

may cause the machine to move about.

^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe

wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again

using the spanner supplied until it

sits firmly up against the housing.

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

delivered.

,^{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.

Installation and connection

The Miele water protection

system

– Overflow protection

This prevents the washing machine

taking in too much water. If the water

level exceeds a certain level, the

drain pump switches in and pumps

the excess water away.

The Miele water protection system

protects the washing machine from

water damage.

The system consists of three main

components:

3) Drain hose

1) the inlet hose

The drain hose is protected by a

ventilation system which prevents the

washing machine from being

emptied completely.

2) the electronic unit and the washing

machine housing

3) the drain hose

1) Inlet hose

The inlet hose can withstand

pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.

2) Electronic unit and washing

machine housing

– Sump

Any leaking water is collected in a

sump in the base of the machine. A

float switches off the safety valves,

preventing any more water flowing

into the machine and water in the

suds container is pumped away.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Installation and connection

Connection to the water supply

In order to protect the water inlet

valve, the two dirt filters - one in the

open end of the inlet hose, one at

the inlet point in the machine must

not be removed.

The machine should be connected to a

mains water supply in accordance with

local and national safety regulations.

The German authorities do not require it

to have a non-return valve as the

washing machine has been designed

to comply with DIN regulations.

Extension hose

– Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length

are available from your Miele dealer

or the Miele Spare Parts Department

as optional extras.

The machine is designed to operate

with a flow pressure of between

100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher

than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a

reducer valve.

Connection to the mains water supply

should incorporate a mains stopcock

with ³/₄" thread. The stopcock 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 washing machine is not suitable

for connection to a hot water supply

and connection to a household

water softener is not recommended.

Maintenance and care

Only use a genuine Miele hose should

you ever need a replacement or

extension. These are tested to

withstand pressure of at least

7,000 kPa.

Installation and connection

Connection to the drainage

system

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin:

Please note the following

The machine drains via a drain pump

with a delivery head of 1 metre*.

– Hook the hose over the edge and

secure.

The drain hose 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.

– 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.

If required, the drain hose can be

extended to a length of 5 m. The

necessary parts can be purchased

from the Miele Spare Parts Department

or your Miele dealer.

2. Connected securely to a plastic drain

pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no

need to use a non-return valve.

* For a delivery head of more than 1 m

(up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a second

duo-drain pump is available with the

corresponding kit from the Miele Spare

Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.

3. Connected securely to a standpipe.

4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
