Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Unauthorised repairs could result in

unforeseen dangers for the user, for

which Miele cannot accept liability.

Repairs should only be undertaken by a

Miele approved service technician.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

machine until after maintenance or

repair work has been carried out.

Before setting up the washing

machine, check it for any externally

visible damage.

Do not install or use a damaged

washing machine.

Before connecting the washing

machine, ensure that the connection

data on the data plate (voltage and

connected load) match the mains

electricity supply. If in any doubt,

consult a qualified electrician.

If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protect

the user from danger.

In the event of a fault or for cleaning

The electrical safety of this washing

completely isolated from the electricity

supply when:

machine can only be guaranteed when

continuity is complete between it and

an effective earthing system which

complies with current local and national – it is switched off at the wall socket

safety regulations. It is most important

that this basic safety requirement is

present and regularly tested, and

and the plug is withdrawn, or

– it is switched off at the mains, or

where there is any doubt the household – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the

wiring system should be inspected by a

qualified electrician. The manufacturer

cannot be held liable for the

consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

This washing machine must only be

connected to the on-site water supply

using a new hose kit. Old hoses must

not be re-used.

Do not connect the washing

machine 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).

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

cockroaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the guarantee.

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.

This washing machine may only be

is to be left for any length of time (e.g.

holiday), especially if there is no floor

used in mobile installations such as

ships if a risk assessment of the

installation has been carried out by a

suitably qualified engineer.

Flooding danger.

Do not make any alterations to the

washing machine, unless authorised to

do so by Miele.

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.

Correct use

Do not install your washing machine

in rooms where temperatures below

freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may

burst or split. The reliability of the

electronic control unit may be impaired

at temperatures below freezing point.

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.

Before using the washing machine

for the first time, check that the transit

bars at the rear of the machine have

been removed (see section on

If the correct amount of detergent is

"Installation"). During spinning, a transit

bar which is still in place may result in

damage to both the machine and

adjacent furniture or appliances.

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. A

special descaling agent is available to

order from the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet on

www.miele-shop.com.

Programme duration

After the start of a programme, the

estimated programme duration will

appear in the display in hours and

minutes.

During the first 8 minutes the washing

machine measures how much water is

being absorbed by the laundry and

uses this to calculate the load. The

programme duration may be longer or

shorter depending on this absorbency

rate.

The following are selected via the

display:

Before using for the first time

Setting the language

Before using the machine for the first

time ensure that it is correctly

installed and connected. See

"Installation and connection". Also

check that the drain filter is securely

tightened to prevent the risk of water

leaks during use.

You will be asked to select the

language you require for the display. It

is possible to change the language at

any time via the programmable

functions.

deutsch

^ If the language shown is not the one

you want, select the language you do

want by turning the programme

selector. Confirm your selection by

pressing the Start/Stop button.

This washing machine has

undergone a thorough functional test

in the factory and there will be some

residual water in the drum from this

process.

Reminder to remove transit bars

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.

To avoid the risk of damage, the

transit bars must be removed before

the machine is used for the first time.

See "Installation and connection" for

instructions on how to do this.

Using detergent could result in an

excessive build-up of foam.

^ After removing the transit bars (if this

has not already been done by your

fitter), press the Start/Stop button.

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.

Running your first programme

Run a Cottons 60°C programme without

any laundry and without detergent.

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

^ Open the stopcock.

If the washing machine is being

switched on for the first time, the

welcome screen will appear.

^ Press the Start/Stop button.

^ At the end of the programme switch

the machine off.

The welcome screen will appear in

the display every time the machine is

switched on until a programme

lasting longer than 1 hour has been

completed.

The machine is now ready for use.

Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water consumption

Detergent

– Water consumption and energy

usage are determined by the size of

the load.

– Do not exceed the amounts of

detergent recommended by the

manufacturer on the packaging.

To make the most out of your

machine, load the maximum dry load

for the programme you are using.

– Adjust the dosage to the degree of

soiling of the laundry.

– Reduce the amount of detergent with

smaller loads (approx. ¹/₃less than

the amount recommended can be

used when washing a half load).

– Use the Automatic and Express

programmes for small loads.

– When smaller amounts of laundry are

washed using the Cottons

programme, the automatic load

recognition system will reduce the

amount of water, time and energy

used. This may mean that the time

left shown in the display is adjusted

during the course of the wash

programme.

Choosing the correct extra option

(Short and Pre-wash)

Select:

– A wash programme together with the

Short extra option for light to normal

soiling where there are no obvious

marks.

– Using the Cottons 60°C programme,

instead of the Cottons 95°C

– A wash programme without any extra

options for normal to heavy soiling

with visible staining.

programme will give energy savings

of between 35% and 45%. This is

sufficient for most levels of soiling.

– The Pre-wash extra option for laundry

with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,

sand).

When drying with a tumble dryer

Selecting the highest possible spin

speed for the wash programme will

save energy when drying in a tumble

dryer afterwards.

ing agent (e.g. one containing ben-

zene) to pre-treat a stain, make sure

that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons)

are protected, and that the cleaning

agent is rinsed off before washing the

garment in the machine.

The headings numbered A, B, C, . . .

show the operating sequence and can

be used as brief instructions.

ASort the laundry

,^{Do not use solvent-based}

cleaning agents in this machine.

^ Sort the laundry by colour and by

care label. Most garments have a

textile care label in the collar or side

seam.

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.

^ Empty all pockets.

coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause

damage to garments and

components in the machine.

– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:

Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar

stiffeners, etc. should be removed or

sewn in.

^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. 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!

– Knitted garments, trousers and

jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn

inside out, if recommended by the

manufacturer.

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.

– Close any zips, fasten hooks and

eyes etc before washing.

– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent

small items from being rolled up

inside them.

Do not wash any items in this machine

which are specified by the

manufacturer as not washable on the

Detergent

The correct detergent

All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable.

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 programmes with short durations.

Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk!

Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the

detergent packaging.

Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufacturer

for programmes without a pre-wash.

For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special container

from the Miele Spare Parts department which sits in the main wash compartment

j of the detergent dispenser drawer . Add liquid detergent to this container for

the main wash and to compartment i for the pre-wash.

A water softener can be used to cut

down on the use of detergents in hard

water areas. Dispense according to the

amount specified on the packaging.

First add detergent and then the water

softener.

– The quantity of laundry

– The soiling level of the laundry

Miele do not recommend connecting

the machine to a household water

softener.

– The water hardness level.

Check with your local water supplier

if you do not know the hardness level

in your area.

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

following order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softeners

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed

more evenly.

If starching frequently, thoroughly

clean the dispenser compartment,

especially the siphon tube and the

fabric conditioner channel, regularly.

See "Cleaning the detergent

dispenser drawer". Do not use

powder starch formulations or

viscous liquid starch in the §

compartment as it will clog up.

Cleaning and care

Extra cleaning

,^{Disconnect the machine from the}

mains electricity supply and

withdraw the plug from the socket

before 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.

,^{The washing machine must not}

be hosed down.

Cleaning the detergent

dispenser drawer

External casing and fascia

panel

Remove detergent residues regularly.

^ Clean the casing with a mild

non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap

and water using a well wrung-out

cloth. 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.

^ 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.

^ Clean the detergent drawer with

warm water.

from the jets inside the detergent

dispenser drawer housing.

1. Remove the siphon from

compartment § and rinse under

warm running water. Clean the

siphon tube in the same way.

2. Replace the siphon.

Descaling the machine

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.

^ Clean the fabric conditioner channel

using a brush and warm water.

If starching frequently, thoroughly

clean the siphon, the siphon tube

and the fabric conditioner channel

regularly. A build-up of starch will

cause them to get clogged.

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.

^ Unscrew the threaded union

connecting the free end of the inlet

hose to 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.

^ 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

Transporting the machine to its

installation site

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 front feet as well as by the

edge of the lid where it protrudes to the

rear of the washing machine.

Please note the following points:

,^{Ensure that the machine feet and}

the floor are dry to prevent the

machine from slipping during the

spin cycle.

^ The machine must be level and

securely positioned.

^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,

the machine should not be installed

on soft floor coverings.

Removing the transit fittings

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 first.

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.

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

Installation and connection

,^{To avoid the risk of injury the}

holes for the transit bars must be

covered after the transit bars have

been removed.

^ Secure the transit bars to the back of

the washing machine. Make sure that

holes b are fitted over retainers a.

,^{The machine must not be moved}

without the transit bars in place.

Store them 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).

^ Fit the covers onto the two holes.

Then plug the holes as shown with

the caps.

Re-fitting the transit bars

Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the

procedure.

Installation and connection

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.

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.

^ Use a spirit level to check the

machine is standing level.

^ 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.

,^{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.

^ Using the spanner supplied turn

counter nut 2 in a clockwise

direction. Then turn counter nut 2

together with foot 1 to unscrew.

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.

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

Extension hose

washing machine has been designed

to comply with DIN regulations.

– 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

pressure reducing 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

Please note:

The machine drains via a drain pump

with a delivery head of 1 metre*. 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.

If required, the drain hose can be

extended to a length of 5 m. The

necessary parts can purchased from

the Miele Spare Parts Department or

your Miele dealer.
