Warning and Safety instructions

This washing machine is not

intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack

of experience and knowledge, unless

they are supervised whilst using it or

have been shown how to use it by a

person responsible for their safety.

This washing machine conforms to

current safety requirements.

Inappropriate use can, however,

lead to personal injury and damage

to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the washing machine,

please read these instructions

carefully before using it for the first

time. They contain important

information on its installation, safety,

use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe

place and ensure that new users are

familiar with the content. Pass them

on to any future owner.

Safety with children

Keep children away from the

washing machine at all times. It is not a

toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not

allow children to play on or near it or to

play with its controls. Supervise

children whilst you are using it.

Older children may only use the

washing machine if its operation has

been clearly explained to them and

they are able to use it safely,

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

purposes, the washing machine is only

completely isolated 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and the plug is withdrawn, or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– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the

screw-out fuse is removed (in

The electrical safety of this washing

machine can only be guaranteed when

continuity is complete between it and

an effective earthing system which

complies with current local and national

safety 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. The manufacturer

cannot be held liable for the

countries where this is applicable).

The Miele "Water protection system"

protects from water damage provided

the following conditions have been met:

– the machine is correctly plumbed in

and connected to the electricity

supply.

– if a fault has been identified, the

machine must be examined by a

competent person before further use,

and repaired if necessary.

consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

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 machine 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.

Brief instructions

,^{If you use a solvent-based clean-}

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.

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

recognition. It takes in the right amount

of water required for the programme

depending on the amount of laundry

and its absorbency rate. This means

that programme cycles and durations

can vary.

Anti-crease:

At the end of every programme, with

the exception of the Woollens

programme, the drum continues to turn

at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help

prevent creasing. The door can be

opened and laundry removed at any

time during the anti-crease phase.

detergent is carried out automatically

to remove dust.

The display shows the stage the

programme has reached.

Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is

carried out before the wash process

begins to deflate the pillows.

Subsequent water intake for the main

wash is through compartment j.

A second rinse is carried out when a

temperature of 60°C to 95°C has

been selected. A third rinse is

carried out when a temperature

below 60°C is selected.

A third/fourth rinse is carried out if:

– there is too much foam in the drum

– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has

been selected

– No spin has been selected

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.

Detergent

The right amount to dispense will

depend on the following:

Water softener

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 the laundry

– The soiling level of the laundry

Lightly soiled

No visible dirt or stains. Possibly

slight body odour.

Miele branded water softening tablets

are available from the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet on

www.miele-shop.com.

Normally soiled

Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight

stains.

Heavily soiled

Stains and soiling clearly visible.

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft

water.

– The water hardness level.

Check with your local water supplier

if you do not know the hardness level

in your area.

Miele do not recommend connecting

the machine to a household water

softener.

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 softener

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed

more evenly.

Fabric conditioners and liquid

starch

If starching frequently, thoroughly

clean the dispenser compartment,

especially the siphon tube and

fabric conditioner channel, regularly.

See "Cleaning the detergent

dispenser drawer". Do not use

powder starch formulations or

viscious liquid starch in the §

compartment as it will clog up. See

below.

Fabric conditioners make garments soft

to handle and help prevent static cling

when tumble drying.

Starch stiffens and gives body to items

of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and

bed linen.

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.

A range of Miele branded cleaning and

conditioning agents are available to

order from your Miele dealer, the Miele

Spare Parts Department, or via the

internet on www.miele-shop.com

Cleaning the detergent

dispenser drawer

External casing and fascia

panel

Remove detergent residues regularly.

Clean the casing using a Miele E-Cloth,

or 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 and any stainless steel

outer panels can be cleaned using a

suitable proprietary stainless-steel

cleaning agent following the

manufacturer's instructions on the

packaging.

^ 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.

,^{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.

^ Clean the detergent drawer with

warm water.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer housing

^ Clean the siphon.

1. Remove the siphon from

compartment § and rinse under

warm running water. Clean the

siphon tube in the same way.

^ Use a bottle brush to remove

detergent residues and limescale

from the jets inside the detergent

dispenser drawer housing.

2. Replace the siphon.

Descaling the machine

If starching frequently, thoroughly

clean the siphon and siphon tube

regularly. A build-up of starch will

cause them to get clogged.

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.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the filter in the water

inlet

^ First turn off the stopcock.

^ Unscrew the threaded union

connecting the free end of the inlet

hose to the stopcock.

The washing machine has a filter to

protect the water inlet valve.

The accessible filter in the union in the

open end of the inlet hose should be

checked every six months, or more

often if there are frequent interruptions

to the external water supply.

^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the

recess.

^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the

plastic filter bar 2 and remove.

^ Clean the plastic filter.

^ 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 water drips

out, tighten the connection.

Never forget to put the filter back in

place after cleaning.

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:

,^{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 bars

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.

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.

,^{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).

^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.

Then plug the holes as shown with

the caps.

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 Waterproof system

2) Electronic unit and washing

machine housing

The Miele Waterproof system protects

the washing machine from water

damage.

– 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 from

flowing into the machine and water in

the suds container is pumped away.

The system consists of three main

components:

1) the inlet hose

2) the electronic unit and the washing

machine housing

– Overflow protection

3) the drain hose

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.

1) Inlet hose

– The inlet hose is fitted with an

additional electrical safety valve

which works like an automatic

stopcock and is housed in the inlet

hose connection box.

3) Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by a

ventilation system which prevents the

washing machine from being

emptied completely.

– It is pressure tested to between

7,000 and 10,000 kPa.

– The inlet hose has a protective

sleeve.

Any leaking water from the inlet hose

is fed into the sump through this

protective sleeve. A float switches off

the safety valve, preventing any

more water from flowing into the

machine and water in the suds

container is pumped away.
