Caring for our environment

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the machine from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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!

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines often contain valuable materials. They also 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 machine. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your Dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

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 instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.

This washing machine is intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments.

~

The machine is not intended for outdoor use.

~

It must only be used as a domestic appliance to wash items which are specified by the manufacturer as being machinewashable on the wash care label, and textiles composed of handwashable wool or wool blend fabrics as well as satin, lace, silk and other hand-washable garments. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

~

The machine can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

7


Safety with children

~

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the machine unless they are constantly supervised.

~

Children 8 years and older may only use the machine unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

~

Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the machine unsupervised.

~

Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine and do not let them play with it.

~

For machines with a 'porthole' door, remember that the porthole glass will be hot when washing at high temperatures

Do not let children touch it.

8


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 frequency) 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 correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed 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 machine (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.

~

Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection" and "Technical data".

~

The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to disconnect the washing machine from the electricity supply.

9


~

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.

~

If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a

Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

~

The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.

~

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 guarantee.

~

This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.

on a ship).

~

Do not make any alterations to the washing machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.

10


Correct use

~

The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 8 kg. See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in individual programmes.

~

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 and connection"). 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 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.

~

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.

~

Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass.

Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated.

11


~

The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 8 kg. See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in individual programmes.

~

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. A special descaling agent is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com.

~

Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.

~

Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, 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.

~

Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, to clean the outside surfaces of this machine. They can cause damage to plastic surfaces.

~

Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

~

Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in this machine.

~

If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.

12


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.

~

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the

Miele washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.

~

If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an optional accessory, depending on country), please make sure you order the right one for this washing machine.

Automatic detergent dispensing

This washing machine is suitable for operating with automatic detergent dispensing unit AWD 10.

The detergent dispensing unit and the washing machine work together via the

Automatic detergent dispensing option.

For this to function correctly you will need to set some settings in the washing machine's electronics.

How automatic detergent dispensing works

If you select automatic dispensing for a wash programme, the washing machine will help you by selecting the correct detergent container and dosage of detergent. The washing machine calculates the amount of detergent required, based on the dosage set, the amount of laundry it measures in the drum and the level of soiling entered for the load. The correct amount of detergent will then be dispensed automatically.

The automatic dispensing option may not be available for some programmes, depending on which type of detergent is present in the containers. For example, if the containers are filled with a universal powder detergent and a liquid detergent for coloureds, it will not be possible to activate automatic dispensing for the Woollens programme. This prevents woollen garments from being damaged by being washed with the wrong type of detergent.

Two of the settings in the washing machine's electronics must be set.

1) The Detergent type present in the containers.

The following options are available:

– Universal powder detergent

– Liquid detergent for coloureds

– Liquid detergent for delicates

– Liquid detergent for delicates and woollens

2) The Dosage of detergent for normally soiled laundry.

Do not add any specialist detergents to the containers, e.g. proofing agent, detergent for outdoor wear. Dispense these types of detergents by adding them to the detergent dispensing drawer.

25


Setting the detergent type

The pre-set detergent dosage amounts are based on water hardness level l and Miele CareCollection products:

If your water is harder than this, set the dosage as specified on the detergent packaging or use a water softener in the drum.

Touching the + or sensor continuously will increase or decrease the amount automatically.

^ Confirm the dosage with OK .

^ Then set the detergent type and the dosage for the second container.

27

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 amounts of laundry are washed, 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 Express 20 programme for small loads.

– Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g

20°C). Washing using lower temperature settings will save energy.

– To maintain the hygiene of the washing machine carry out a hot wash (60°C or above) using powder detergent at regular intervals. The

Hygiene info message will appear in the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash.

Detergent

– 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.

– For precise dispensing use the automatic detergent dispensing unit.

Choosing the correct Extra option

(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)

Select:

– A wash programme together with the

Short extra option for light 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.

28

1. Prepare the laundry

Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturer's instructions.

,

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 textiles and to components in the machine.

,

Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this machine.

Sorting laundry

^ 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.

Removing marks

^ 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.

General tips

– 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, pillow cases 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).

3. Load the drum

Load / Detergent

^ Press the / button to open the drum door.

The Load / Detergent sub-menu will appear.

The washing machine has a sensor which measures the amount of laundry placed in the drum. The display shows the percentage of the maximum load which has been placed in the drum. The maximum load will depend on the programme chosen.

In addition to the load size percentage the amount of detergent required is also shown as a % figure.

The load is shown in the display in 25% steps. Loads of less than 25% or an empty drum are shown as <25% . Drum

overloaded will appear if too much laundry is placed in the drum.

^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.

The load size will appear in the display.

Load / Detergent 10:21

Load QP PQ GH GHM 50%

Detergent P P P P P P G G G GM 60%

OK !

[

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 items are caught between the drum door and seal.

^ Shut the door with a gentle swing.

34

4. Add detergent

A. Automatic detergent dispensing

The automatic detergent dispensing option is set up at the factory for Miele CareCollection products (Miele UltraWhite powder detergent and Miele UltraColor liquid detergent) and for water hardness level 1 (soft water - less than

8.4°dH / 1.5 mmol/l). If your water hardness level is different or you have added a different type of detergent, you will need to alter the dosage. See "Automatic detergent dispensing - 2. Dosage".

Adding stain remover

When Automatic dispensing is selected, the i and j compartments of the detergent dispenser drawer are not flushed through with water.

If you want to add stain remover, either

1. Fill a detergent dispensing ball with stain remover and place the ball in the drum with the laundry.

or

2. Deactivate Automatic dispensing.

Add both detergent and stain remover to the detergent dispenser drawer.

Adding fabric conditioner or liquid starch

Add fabric conditioner and liquid starch to compartment

§. The agent will be dispensed with the final rinse.

B. Detergent dispenser drawer

Please note:

The percentage amounts in the display will help you to add the correct percentage amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer.

The percentage shown relates to the amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

50% = Add half the amount recommended

60% = Add slightly more than half the amount recommended

75% = Add three quarters of the amount recommended

100% = Add the full amount of detergent recommended

Take the level of soiling and water hardness into account.

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 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.

– High water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in).

– A burden to the environment.

36

6. Programme end - unload the drum

After the programme has finished, the following will appear alternately in the display:

Anti-crease and

Programme finished. Unload the drum, before switching off

,

Caution. After using the steam function, there is danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass.

Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated.


^ Remove the laundry.

The washing machine will switch off automatically 15 minutes after the end of the anti-crease phase. You will need to press the

K button to switch it back on again.

Check that all items have been removed from the drum. Items left in the drum could discolour other items in the next wash or become discoloured themselves.

^ Check the folds in the door seal for any small articles, e.g. buttons, which might be lodged there.

Important

Always remove the laundry before switching the machine off. This is important to ensure that the load size indicator works correctly.

^ Switch the machine off with the K button.

^ Close the drum door. Otherwise there is the danger of objects being placed inadvertently in the drum. If these remained unnoticed and were washed in the next load, they could damage the laundry.

40

Extra options

Steam smoothing

At the end of the programme, the laundry is dampened with steam in order to reduce creasing. The maximum load is 2.0 kg, as smaller loads give a better result.

Short

For light to normal soiling with no visible staining.

The duration of the main wash is reduced.

Soak

For heavily soiled and stained items with protein stains (e.g. blood, fats and oils, cocoa).

A duration of between 30 minutes and 6 hours can be chosen in 30 minute increments for the soak process.

Rinse hold

The laundry will not be spun and will remain suspended in the final rinse water. This reduces creasing if the laundry is not going to be removed from the drum immediately after the end of the programme. See "Spinning" for more details.

Extra quiet

If using your washing machine during quiet periods, you can reduce the noise levels even more.

If the Extra quiet extra option is selected, the machine will activate the

Rinse hold extra option and not spin.

The programme duration is longer.

Pre-wash

For laundry with large amounts of dirt e.g. dust, sand.

Water plus

The water level in the main wash and the rinses will be increased.

To deactivate Rinse hold

^ Call up the Extras sub-menu and deactivate the Rinse hold extra option.

The following will appear in the display:

Tip: Select "Start at" or "Finish at" so that the final spin will take place when it will not disturb you

Extra rinse

An additional rinse cycle is carried out to achieve a better rinse result.

Programme sequence d = Low water level

( = Medium water level e = High water level a = Intensive rhythm b = Normal rhythm c = Gentle rhythm d = Sensitive rhythm e = Ultra sensitive rhythm f = Handwash rhythm

This machine has fully electronic controls with automatic load 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.

The programme sequences outlined in the chart are based on the basic programme with a full load. Extra options which can be selected have not been taken into account.

The display shows the stage the programme has reached.

Special features in the programme sequences:

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 anticrease phase.

1)

A second rinse is carried out when a temperature between 60°C and 90°C has been selected. A third rinse is carried out when a temperature below 60°C is selected.

2)

A third or fourth rinse is carried out if:

– there is too much foam in the drum

– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has been selected

– The spin speed has been deselected.

3) A third rinse is carried out if:

– The spin has been deselected.

4)

In the Outerwear programme, laundry is only spun after the main wash.

5)

Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is carried out before the wash process begins, to deflate down-filled items.

Subsequent water intake for the main wash is through compartment j.

6)

Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse without detergent is carried out automatically to remove dust.

53

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.

See “Optional accessories” at the end of this booklet for details of Miele branded care products including detergents and fabric conditioner.

Detergent

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

– The soiling level of the load

Lightly soiled

No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight body odour.

Normally soiled

Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.

Heavily soiled

Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on soiling.

– The quantity of the laundry (add the recommended amount of detergent)

– The water hardness level.

Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.

Water softeners

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.

Miele branded water softening tablets are available from the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com.

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 softeners

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed more evenly.

56

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.

^ Dispense liquids into the § compartment and powder or viscous formulations into the i compartment.

^ Select the Starch programme.

^ Select a spin speed or the Rinse hold extra option.

^ Touch the Start sensor.

^ Add the fabric conditioner or liquid starch to compartment §. Do not exceed the maximum level mark.

It will be dispensed automatically 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.

57

Cleaning and care

A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com

,

Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or multipurpose cleaning agents.

These might damage plastic surfaces and other components because of the chemicals they contain.

Cleaning the drum (Hygiene info)

Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergent can cause bacteria and unpleasant smells to build up in the machine. In order to clean the drum and also to prevent unpleasant smells building up, run a Cottons 75°C programme with powder detergent once a month or when the Hygiene info message appears in the display.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

The pre-wash and main wash compartments of the detergent dispensing drawer are self-cleaning.

For hygiene reasons, clean the entire drawer at regular intervals.

External casing and fascia panel

,

Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply and withdraw the plug from the socket before cleaning the machine.

,

The machine must not be hosed down.

^ Clean the casing with a mild nonabrasive cleaning agent or soap and water using a well wrung-out cloth.

Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

^ Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a 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.

^ Clean the drawer with hot water.

58


Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing

^ Clean the siphon.

1. Remove the siphon from compartment

§ and rinse under hot running water. Clean the siphon tube in the same way.

2. Replace the siphon.

^ Use a bottle brush to remove detergent residues and limescale from the jets inside the detergent dispenser drawer housing.

If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the siphon and siphon tube regularly. A build-up of starch will cause them to get clogged.

59


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 stopcock.

^ 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 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.

Problems with the load size indicator

Problem

The display indicates a load of <25% or no load size is indicated when the drum is full.

Possible cause

There was already laundry in the drum when the washing machine was switched on. This has decalibrated the sensor from the zero setting.

The display indicates a load of 25% , 50% , 75% or 100% is empty.

when the drum

The load size sensor has been decalibrated from the zero setting.

Remedy

^ To recalibrate the sensor to the zero setting:

– Remove the laundry from the drum and leave the door open.

– Switch off the washing machine.

– Switch on the washing machine.

– In the Settings menu select Load sensor zero

setting.

– Activate the option.

The sensor will be recalibrated to the zero setting.

64


General problems

Problem

The machine shakes during the spin cycle.

The laundry has not been spun properly and is still wet.

The pump makes strange noises.

Noises while steam is being generated.

Steam comes out of the detergent dispenser drawer while steam is being generated.

Possible cause

The machine feet are not level.

Remedy

Level the machine (see

"Installation and connection").

The machine detected an imbalance during the final spin and reduced the spin speed automatically.

Include both large and small items in the load as this will give better distribution during spinning.

This is not a fault.

These noises occur at the end of a pump sequence as a normal part of the operation.


These noises occur when steam is being generated and when steam is being injected into the drum.


Some steam may emerge from the detergent dispenser drawer, depending on the amount of laundry and the ambient temperature.

65


Problem

Large amounts of detergent residue remain in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Possible cause

Automatic dispensing was activated.

The water pressure is too low.

Remedy

When Automatic dispensing is selected, the i and j compartments of the detergent dispenser drawer are not flushed through with water.

– Clean the filter in the water inlet.

– It may be useful to select the Water plus extra option.

In future, add washing powder into the dispenser drawer first, and then add the water softener.

Powder detergent used in conjunction with water softeners tends to become sticky.

Fabric conditioner is not completely dispensed or too much water remains in the § compartment.

The display is in a different language.

The siphon tube is not correctly positioned or is clogged up.

A different language has been selected using the "Language !

" setting.

Clean the siphon (see

"Cleaning and care -

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer").

Set the language you want.

The flag symbol will guide you.

66


The drum door cannot be opened by pressing the

/ button

Possible cause

The machine is not connected to the electricity supply and/or is not switched on.

The safety lock has been activated.

Access via a code has been activated.

Remedy

Insert the plug in the socket and switch on and / or switch the machine on with the

K button.

Deactivate the safety lock as described in "Select a programme - Safety lock".

Deactivate the code as described in "Settings menu".

Power cut.

The door was not correctly engaged.

There is still water in the drum and the machine is unable to drain.

The door will not open after the Steam care or

Freshen up programme has finished.

Open the drum door as described in the next section.

Press hard against the lock side of the drum door and then press the

/ button.

Clean the drain filter and drain pump as described in the next section.

The Steam care and/or Freshen up programmes have been started several times one after the other.

The steam has caused the temperature in the drum to rise above 55°C and the door will not open to prevent the risk of burning. Wait a few minutes until the temperature in the drum has decreased.

For safety reasons the drum door cannot be opened if the suds temperature is higher than 55°C.

67


Opening the drum door in the event of a blocked drain outlet and/or power failure

^ Switch the washing machine off.

There is a lever behind the detergent drawer fascia panel.

^ Remove the lever.

,

Caution: if laundry has been washed at a high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot. Danger of scalding!

Procedure for draining the machine

Be careful not to release too much water at once. If the flow of water is too strong, some water can seep into the washing machine base and activate the water protection system float switch. This will prevent the washing machine from functioning.

^ Place a suitable container under the access flap.

When draining water from the machine, do not unscrew the drain filter completely or take it right out.

^ Use it to open the access flap.

Blocked drain outlet

If the drain outlet is blocked, up to

25 litres of water will be retained in the machine.

^ Slowly and carefully unscrew the drain filter to let the water out.

If you need to interrupt the flow of water:

^ Tighten the drain filter back up again.

68

Once the flow of water ceases:

^ Remove the drain filter completely.

^ Clean it thoroughly.


,

Make sure the drain filter is securely tightened. Otherwise there is a risk of water leakage during use.

To avoid loss of detergent, pour approx. 2 litres of water into the detergent dispenser drawer after cleaning the drain filter. Excess water will be pumped out automatically before the next wash programme.

Opening the drum door

,

Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching into the machine to remove laundry.

Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

^ Remove any foreign objects (e.g.

buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff from the filter housing. Turn the impeller by hand to check that it rotates freely.

Any foreign object causing an obstruction should be removed.

^ Put the drain filter back in place and secure.

^ Pull the emergency release downwards (see illustration). The drum door will open.

69

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 spin using retaining clips (available from the

Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise there is the danger of the machine moving and falling off the plinth.

Transporting the washing machine to its installation site

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 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 on the attached stopper,

2. then use a screwdriver to release the catch at the top.

73


^ 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.

74

,

To avoid the risk of injury the holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed.


^ Plug the holes with the plastic caps as illustrated.

^ Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure that the top catch is located above the holder.

,

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.

75


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 counternut 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 counternut 2 in a clockwise direction.

Then turn counternut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.

76


The fitting of building-under kits* and stacking kits* must only be undertaken by qualified and competent persons, in accordance with the instructions supplied with the kit.

Washer and Dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. A "WTV" stacking kit* is necessary.

Please note:

Building under a continuous worktop/in a kitchen run

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 a special building-under conversion kit* is required.

To ensure electrical safety, the washing machine lid must be replaced by the cover plate supplied with the conversion kit.

– 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 your Dealer, the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com.

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

77


The Miele Waterproof system

The Miele Waterproof system protects the washing machine from water damage.

The system consists of three main components:

1) the inlet hose

2) the electronic unit and the washing machine housing

3) the drain hose

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.

– 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.

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 from 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 in and pumps the excess water away.

3) Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied completely.

78


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 stopcock. 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.

The machine should be connected to the 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.

The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1,000 kPa (1-10 bar). 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.

Do not get wet.

The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.

The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked.

79


Maintenance and care

If you intend to unscrew the Miele

Waterproof system hose from the stopcock it is essential to disconnect the machine from the electricity supply first.

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 your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department as an optional extra.

This hose is tested to withstand pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can be used as a flexible extension to the water supply.

N.B. Using this hose renders the

Waterproof system safety valve on the inlet hose ineffective.

80


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 purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer.

* For a delivery head of more than 1 m

(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacement drain pump will need to be fitted.

Please contact the Miele Spare Parts

Department or your Miele Dealer.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin:

Please note the following:

– Hook the hose over the edge 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.

81


Electrical connection U.K.

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out.

The appliance is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a 230-240V mains supply.

Please ensure the connection data quoted on the data plate match the household mains supply.

Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation.

For extra safety it is advisable to protect the appliance with a suitable residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician for advice.

Do not connect via an extension lead.

Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g.

danger of overheating).

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of plug fitted).

Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuses and fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier.
