Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances / machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance or machine. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person.
The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
~
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 rated load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
~
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 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).
~
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.
~
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.
~
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 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.
~
In 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 warranty.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
~
This washing machine must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
~
Do not make any alterations to the washing machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
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.
~
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
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
~
Turn off the tap 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.
~
Flooding danger.
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.
~
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.
8
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 Miele Descaler for washing machines and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. If in doubt, contact Miele or your Miele
Chartered Agent.
~
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, e.g. those containing benzene, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.
~
Never use solvent-based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzene, to clean the outside surfaces of this machine. They can cause damage to plastic surfaces.
~

Before using for the first time
1. Welcome screen
Before using the machine for the first time, ensure that it is correctly installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection".
This washing machine has completed a comprehensive functional test. A small quantity of water remains in the drum as a result.
The initial operation consists of four steps. The washing machine guides you automatically through steps 1 to 3.
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.
^ Place the display fascia onto the panel.
^ Press the K button in.

Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy usage are determined by the size of the load.
To make the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using.
– When smaller loads are washed in 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.
– Use the Cottons 60°C programme rather than the Cottons 95°C programme. This allows you to save between 35-45% energy. This is sufficient for most soiling. Use the
Soak programme for more stubborn soiling.
– Using the Cottons 40°C programme is recommended for a normally soiled load and is the programme used in energy/water consumption tests to AS/NZS 2040 (Refer to consumption data).
Detergent consumption
– Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry.
– Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (approx.
1
/
3 less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct Extra option
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Short Extra option for light to normal soiling where there are no obvious marks.
– A wash programme without any Extra options for normal to heavy soiling with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak Extra option for heavily soiled laundry.
– 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.

How to wash correctly
Brief instructions
The headings numbered
A, B, C, . . .
show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions.
A Sort the laundry
,
If you use a solvent-based cleaning agent (e.g. one containing benzene) 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.
^ Empty all pockets.
,
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.
^ 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!
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.
,
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 first. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first or place in a laundry bag.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc. should be removed or sewn-in.
– 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 care label ( h symbol).
15
How to wash correctly
B Switch on the washing machine.
^ Press the K button.
Select programme
C Load the drum
^ Press the Door button to open the drum door.
^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.
Make sure that no garments are caught between the drum door and seal.
^ Shut the door with a gentle swing.
D Select a programme
^ Turn the programme selector to the required programme.
Duration:
1:45 h
The estimated programme duration will appear in the display.

required)
How to wash correctly
F Selecting Spin speed (if required)
You can reduce the final spin speed.
^ Press the button for the programme you wish to run. The Extra option will be illuminated.
Not all the Extra options are suitable for use with every programme. You can only select Extra options which are compatible with the basic programme being used.
See "Extra options" for more information.
^ Press the Spin button until the required spin speed is highlighted in yellow.
See "Spin" for more information.
G Selecting Delay start (if required)
The start of the programme can be delayed from 15 minutes up to a maximum of 23 hours and 45 minutes.
This allows you to make use of night-time economy electricity rates, for example.
See "Delay start" for more information.
17
How to wash correctly
H Add detergent
It is important to dispense the correct amount, because . . .
. . . too little detergent results in:
– laundry not getting properly clean and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch.
– greasy particles clinging to the laundry.
– limescale deposits on the heater elements.
. . . too much detergent results in:
– excessive foam which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results.
– higher water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch on).
– a burden to the environment.
^ Pull out the detergent drawer and place detergent in the compartments as follows: i j
Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the total recommended amount as follows: add and
2
/
3

Detergent
1)
Use liquid detergent
2)
Use powder detergent
* Miele special detergents:
Washing detergents which were specifically designed for certain programmes or items (e.g. Miele CareCollection).
** Only use proofing agents which are stated by the manufacturer as being
"suitable for use on membrane textiles" as these consist of fluorochemical compounds. Do not use proofing agents which contain paraffin. Fill the detergent drawer
§ with proofing agent.
All modern detergents produced for automatic front loading 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.
For programmes without Pre-wash or Delay start, liquid detergent can either be dispensed placing a ball-shaped container (commonly provided by the detergent manufacturer) straight onto the laundry load or alternatively dispensed through the detergent dispenser drawer. For programmes with Pre-wash or Delay start
(where applicable), an additional liquid detergent dispenser insert (Material number 6134691) is available from Miele.
33
Detergent
The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:
– The quantity of the 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 hardness level in your area.
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.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water.
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.
34
Detergent
Fabric conditioners and liquid starch
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.
Automatic dispensing of fabric conditioner or liquid starch to laundry at the end of a programme
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 viscous liquid starch in the compartment as it will clog up.
Adding fabric conditioner or starch separately
^ Dispense in accordance with manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
^ Add powder or viscous starch to compartment i. Add the fabric conditioner or liquid starch to compartment
§.
^ Turn the programme selector to
Separate rinse/Starch.
^ Select a spin speed.
^ Press the Start button.
^ Add the fabric conditioner or the liquid starch to compartment
§. Do
not exceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the last rinse. At the end of the programme a small amount of water remains in the fabric conditioner compartment
§.
Colour run and dye removers/dyes
^ Do not use colour run or dye removers in this machine.
^ Dyes suitable for use in domestic washing machines can be used.
However, please note that the salt used in the dyeing process can cause corrosion to stainless steel components in the machine if you dye frequently. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
35
Cleaning and care
,
Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply and withdraw the plug from the socket before cleaning the machine.
,
The washing machine must not be hosed down.
External casing and fascia panel
^ 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.
Extra cleaning
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.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
The two main detergent compartments of the dispenser drawer are self-cleaning.
The drawer should be removed and cleaned regularly for hygiene reasons.
^ 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.
36
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.
2. Replace the siphon.
If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the siphon and siphon tube regularly. A build-up of starch will cause them to get clogged.
^ Use a bottle brush to remove detergent residues and limescale from the jets inside the detergent dispenser drawer housing.
37
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filter in the water inlet
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.
^ First turn off the tap.
^ Unscrew the threaded union connecting the free end of the inlet hose to the tap.
^ 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 tap and check the connection is watertight. If water drips out, tighten the connection.
Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning.

Problem solving guide
An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem
Liquid detergent does not give the required result.
Grey, greasy particles cling to washed laundry.
White residues which look like powder detergent are seen on dark textiles after washing.
Possible cause
Liquid detergents do not contain bleaching agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea stains.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used.
The laundry was heavily soiled with grease.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. These have stuck to fabrics.
Remedy
– Use a general purpose detergent containing a bleaching agent.
– Add stain remover to the compartment j.
– Never put stain removers and liquid detergent together in the dispenser drawer.
– Use more detergent.
– Before washing the next load, run a Cottons 60°C programme with liquid detergent but without a load.
– Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush once the laundry is dry.
– Wash dark textiles using a detergent which contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain no zeolites.
– Use the Dark garments programme.

Installation and connection
Installation surface
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.
Please note:
^ The machine must be level and securely positioned.
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.
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
Miele).
Installing the washing machine
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.
,
Ensure that the machine feet and the floor are dry to prevent the machine from slipping during the spin cycle.
Removing the transit bars
^ To remove the left and right covers
1. Pull off the transit bar covers and
2. use a screwdriver to prise out the covers.
49
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.
^ withdraw the transit bar.
50
,
To avoid the risk of injury, the holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed.
Installation and connection
^ Fit the covers onto the two holes.
^ Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure that the upper hooks are above the retainers.
,
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).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the procedure.
51
Installation and connection
Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.
Failure to level the machine can result in the machine "banging" in the spin cycle or "walking" across the floor during operation.
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.
52
Installation and connection
Building under a continuous worktop / in a kitchen run
– A special building under conversion kit* is required.
The machine lid must be replaced by a cover plate. To ensure electrical safety, the cover plate must be fitted. **
N.B.**
If you wish to push your machine under a worktop and there is space to do this
without removing the lid, the conversion kit is not necessary.
Otherwise the conversion kit is essential.
– For installation under a work surface
900/910 mm from the floor, a raising kit* is required.
– Connections for electricity, water and drainage should be installed in such a way that they remain accessible when the machine is in place.
Fitting instructions are supplied with the conversion kit.
All parts marked* are available from
Miele.
Washer and Dryer stack
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. A stacking kit* is necessary and can be purchased from Miele.
Please note
The fitting of cover plates and stacking kits must only be undertaken by qualified and competent persons, in accordance with the instructions supplied with the kit.
a Safety distance to wall: at least 2 cm
b Height:
Stacking kit with pull-out shelf: approx. 169 cm
Stacking kit without pull-out shelf: approx. 170 cm
,
A washer and dryer should never be stacked without using the proper stacking kit. Doing so is extremely dangerous as the dryer may vibrate off of the washing machine during use.
53
Installation and connection
The Miele Waterproof system
The Miele Waterproof system protects all parts of the washing machine from water damage.
The system consists of three main components:
1) the inlet hoses
2) the electronic unit and the washing machine housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hoses
– The inlet hoses are fitted with additional electrical safety valves which work like automatic taps and are housed in the inlet hose connection boxes.
– They are pressure proof to between
7000 and 10000 kPa.
– The inlet hoses have a protective sleeve.
Any leaking water from the inlet hose is fed into the sump through the protective covering which surrounds the inlet hose as a "second skin". The float switches off the safety valves, preventing water flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.
2) Electronic unit and washing machine housing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the appliance. A float switches off the water inlet valves, preventing water flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.
– Overflow protection
This prevents the washing machine taking in too much water. If the water level exceeds a certain level, the drain pump switches on and pumps the water away.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied completely.
54
Installation and connection
Connection to the water supply
,
The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. The Waterproof system must only be connected to its own tap. It must not be connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it. A flexible metal extension hose, available from Miele as an optional extra, should be used if necessary.
Do not dip into any liquid.
The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked.
The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with local and national safety regulations.
Connection to a household water softener is not recommended.
The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1000 kPa. If it is higher than
1000 kPa, it is essential to fit a reducer valve.
Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains tap with thread. The tap should be fitted by a
3
/
4
" qualified plumber.
,
The connection points are subject to mains water pressure.
Turn on the taps slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the washer and union if appropriate.
Maintenance and care
Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement.
In order to protect the water inlet valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet valve connection must not be removed.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose is available from Miele as an optional extra.
This hose is tested to withstand pressures of up to 14000 kPa and can be used as a flexible extension to the water supply.
55
Installation and connection
The washing machine is programmed on cold water at the time of delivery. To run the machine with hot water, it needs to be reprogrammed. This is described under section "Settings menu".
The washing machine must always be connected to the mains water supply (inlet hose with blue dots).
Cold water connection (mains water supply)
The inlet hose with blue dots is used for mains water connection.
Useful hints when connecting to the hot and cold water supply.
– The maximum temperature at the tap must not exceed 60°C. The ideal temperature is 55°C.
– When connected to the hot (and cold) water supply, after some time the washing machine will switch over to the mains (cold) water supply if no hot water is being supplied.
However, this can lead to a poor washing result.
The conditions for connection are described on the following pages.
Hot water connection
The inlet hose with red dots is used for connection to the hot water supply.
This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with
ATS 5200.101.
No further backflow protection required for connection to the water supply.
56
Installation and connection
Connection to the drainage system
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 be purchased from Miele.
* For a delivery head more than 1 m (up to a max. of 1.8 m), a second duo-drain pump is available with the corresponding kit from Miele.
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note the following:
– Hook the hose over the edge and secure.
– 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.
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber nipple.
There is no need to use a non-return valve.
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
Please note: a Adapter b Nut c Hose clip d End of the hose
^ Fit adapter a to the sink drain outlet using nut b.
^ Attach the end of the hose d to adapter a.
^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip c up close to the nut.
57
Installation and connection
Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug for connection to a 230V mains supply.
The voltage, rated load and plug rating are given on the data plate. Please ensure these match the household mains supply.
The accesibility of the plug must always be ensured in order to separate the washing machine from the mains.
All electrical work should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA.
Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out.
Connection should be made via a suitable switching socket which is easily accessible after installation in order to separate the washing machine from the mains.
Do not connect via an extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
