Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing mate‐ rial
The packaging is designed to protect the washing machine from damage dur‐ ing transportation. The packaging ma‐ terials 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 manufactur‐ ing 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 po‐ tentially 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 com‐ munity waste collection / recycling cen‐ tre or contact your Dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

7
Warning and Safety instructions
Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaran‐ teed when correctly earthed.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the wiring system of the building tested by a qualified electrician.
Miele 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 sup‐ ply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the risk of overheating).
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele origi‐ nal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran‐ tee the safety standards of the machine.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guar‐ antee.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.
The machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in good time and avoid the risk of any water damage.
The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should not exceed 1000 kPa.
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.

9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the elec‐ tronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation and connection - Removing the transit bars"). 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 contain‐ er, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
The maximum load for this washing machine is 7 kg (dry weight).
See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads for 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 it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent.
Miele recommends using Miele descaling agent which is available to order online at www.miele-shop.com or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on the packaging.
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being wash‐ ed 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 ex‐ plosion hazard.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, to clean the surfaces of the machine. They can cause dam‐ age to plastic surfaces.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufac‐ turer's instructions carefully.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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 thor‐ oughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for refer‐ ence. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.
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.

Operating the washing machine
Display
The display shows:
– the programme duration (time left display)
– the programmable functions
Programmable functions
The programmable functions can be used to tailor washing programmes to suit your personal requirements. In pro‐ gramming mode, the display will show the function selected.
14
Before using for the first time
Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly in‐ stalled and connected. See "Installa‐ tion and connection". Also check that the drain filters are securely tightened to prevent the risk of water leaks during use.
This washing machine has undergone a complete functional test at the fac‐ tory and there will be some residual water in the drum from this process.
For safety reasons, spinning is not pos‐ sible until the machine has been pre‐ pared for using for the first time. To ac‐ tivate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without laundry and without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an ex‐ cessive 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.
Running the first programme
Open the stopcock.
Press the button in.
Turn the programme selector to Cot‐
tons 60°C.
Press the Start button.
When the programme has finished, your machine is ready to use for the first time.
Switch the washing machine off with the button at the end of the pro‐ gramme.
15
Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy us‐ age are determined by the size of the load.
To make the most of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the automatic load recogni‐ tion system will reduce the amount of water and energy used.
– Use the Express 20 programme for small, lightly soiled loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Washing using lower tempera‐ ture settings will save energy.
– Use the Soak extra option instead of
Pre-wash. If Soak is followed imme‐ diately by a main wash, the same suds are used.
– To maintain the hygiene of the ma‐ chine, carry out a hot wash (60°C or above) using powder detergent at regular intervals. The Hygiene info check light will appear to remind you to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter‐ gent recommended by the manufac‐ turer 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 laun‐ dry 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.
16
1. Prepare the laundry
Tip: Badly soiled areas can be pre-trea‐ ted with liquid detergent, stain remov‐ ers etc. first, following the manufactur‐ er's instructions. With particularly stub‐ born stains ask your dry cleaner for ad‐ vice.
If you use a solvent-based cleaning agent (e.g. one containing benzine) to pre-treat a stain, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. but‐ tons) 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 to components in the machine.
Do not use solvent-based clean‐ ing agents in or on this machine.
Sort the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a tex‐ tile care label in the collar or side seam.
Tip: 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.
Pre-treat stains
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be cleaned as soon as possible, pref‐ erably 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 stiff‐ eners, etc. should be removed or sewn in.
– Close any zips, attach velcro fasten‐ ers, fasten hooks and eyes etc. be‐ fore washing.
– Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
Do not wash any items in this washing machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).
17
2. Select a programme
Switch on the washing ma‐ chine
Press the button.
Programme selection
Turn the programme selector to the required programme.
The display shows the estimated pro‐ gramme duration.
During the first 10 minutes, the machine measures how much water is being ab‐ sorbed by the laundry. The programme duration may be longer or shorter de‐ pending on the is absorbency rate.
18
Open the door
Press the Door button to open the door.
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.
Please note the maximum load for the different wash programmes. The rele‐ vant programme load is always shown in the display when you select a pro‐ gramme.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creases.
3. Load the washing machine
Close the door
Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
19
4. Select programme settings
Select an extra option(s)
Each press of the upper button selects the extra options: Soak or Pre-wash or
Short or no extra option.
Use the lower button to select the Wa‐
ter plus extra option.
Select a spin speed
You can alter the pre-set spin speed of a wash programme.
Select the extra option(s) you want.
Tip: Not all the extra options are suita‐ ble for use with every programme.
You can only select extra options which are compatible with the pro‐ gramme being used.
Press the Spin button repeatedly until the indicator light of the spin speed you want comes on.
20
5. 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 laundry.
– Limescale deposits on the heater ele‐ ments.
. . . 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 addi‐ tional rinse cycle will automatically switch in).
– A burden to the environment.
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and add detergent to the compartments as follows:
Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the total recommended amount as follows: add
1
/
3
to compartment and
2
/
3 compartment )
to
Detergent for the main wash, including
Soak, if selected
Fabric conditioner or liquid starch
Close the detergent dispenser draw‐ er.
Tip: See "Detergent" for further infor‐ mation.
21
6. Start the programme - the end of a programme
Start the programme.
Press the flashing Start button.
At the end of a programme
When the programme has finished the
Anti-crease/Finish indicator light will light up in the programme sequence display and an 0 will appear in the dis‐ play.
The washing machine will switch off automatically 15 minutes after the end of the anti-crease phase. Press the button to switch it back on again.
Press the Door button to open the door.
Remove the laundry.
Check that all items have been re‐ moved from the drum. Items left in the drum could discolour other items in the next wash or become discol‐ oured themselves.
Check the folds in the door seal for any small articles, e.g. buttons, which might be lodged there.
Switch the washing machine off with the button and turn the pro‐ gramme selector to Finish.
Close the door. Otherwise there is a danger of objects being placed inad‐ vertently in the drum. If these re‐ mained unnoticed and were washed in the next load, they could damage the laundry.
22
You can use the extra options buttons to augment the wash programmes.
Short
Use this option for light soiling with no visible staining.
The wash duration is reduced.
Pre-wash
For laundry with large amounts of dirt, e.g. dust and sand.
Soak
For heavily soiled and stained items with protein stains.
– A duration of between 30 minutes and 2 hours can be programmed in
30 minute increments for the soak process.
– The factory default setting is 2 hours.
See "Programmable functions - Soak" for instructions on how to programme a different soak period.

Detergent
The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and dosage recommendations on the pack‐ aging.
The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:
– the soiling level of the load
– the quantity of the laundry
– the water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.
Definition of the soiling level
– Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight body odour.
– Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.
– Heavily soiled
Soiling and/or stains clearly visible.
Water hardness levels
Hardness scale
I (soft)
II (medium)
III (hard)
Hardness level in mmol/l
0 – 1.5
1.5 – 2.5
above 2.5
German scale
°d
0 – 8.4
8.4 – 14 above 14
Dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these are supplied with the detergent, partic‐ ularly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent buy refill packs wherever possible. This helps re‐ duce the amount of waste packaging.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in areas with water hardness levels II and III.
Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.
You can then use the recommended amount of detergent for water hardness level I.
Fabric conditioner and liquid starch
Fabric conditioner makes garments soft to handle and helps prevent static cling when tumble drying.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.

36
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the drum
Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergent can cause bacte‐ ria and unpleasant odours to build up in the washing machine. In order to clean the drum and also to prevent unpleas‐ ant odours building up, run a pro‐ gramme with a temperature of at least
60°C using powder detergent once a month or when the Hygiene info light comes on.
External casing and fascia panel
Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply before cleaning or maintenance.
Cleaning the detergent dis‐ penser drawer
The pre-wash and main wash compart‐ ments of the detergent dispensing drawer are self-cleaning.
For hygiene reasons, clean the entire drawer at regular intervals.
The washing machine must not be hosed down.
Clean the casing and fascia panel 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 with a pro‐ prietary stainless steel cleaning agent, following the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or multi-pur‐ pose cleaning agents. These could damage plastic surfaces and other parts.
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer until a resistance is felt. Press down the release button and at the same time pull the drawer right out of the machine.
Clean the drawer with hot water.
37
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the siphon Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing
1. Remove the siphon from the compartment and rinse under hot running water. Clean the siphon tube at the same time.
2. Replace the siphon.
Liquid starch can cause the siphon to become clogged. Make sure that you clean the siphon and siphon tube particularly thoroughly after us‐ ing liquid starch a few times.
Use a bottle brush to remove deter‐ gent residues and limescale from the jets inside the detergent dispenser drawer housing.
38
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the water inlet filters
The washing machine has two filters to protect the water inlet valve. These fil‐ ters should be checked every six months or so, or more often if there are frequent interruptions to the water sup‐ ply.
To clean the filter in the union in the open end of the inlet hose:
First turn off the stopcock.
Unscrew the inlet hose from the stop‐ cock.
To clean the filter in the water inlet valve:
Using pliers, carefully loosen the rib‐ bed plastic nut on the inlet valve and unscrew.
Remove the rubber seal 1 from the recess.
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar 2 and remove it.
Clean the filter.
Replace the filter and seal back in the reverse order and reconnect the hose.
Use pointed nose pliers to withdraw the plastic filter by the bar (see illus‐ tration).
Clean the filter.
Replace the filter in the reverse order.
After cleaning the filters, turn on the stopcock and check the connection is watertight. If water drips out, tight‐ en the connection.
The two filters must be put back in place after cleaning.

General problems with the washing machine
Problem
The machine shakes during the spin cycle.
The laundry has not been spun properly and is still wet.
Strange pump noises can be heard.
Large amounts of de‐ tergent residue remain in the detergent dis‐ penser drawer.
Fabric conditioner is not completely dis‐ pensed or too much water remains in the compartment.
Cause and remedy
The machine feet are not level.
Level the machine and adjust the feet correctly.
The machine detected an imbalance during the final spin cycle 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 slurping noises occur at the end of the pump sequence as a normal part of operation.
The water pressure is too low.
Clean the water inlet filter.
It may be useful to select the Water plus extra op‐ tion.
Powder detergent used in conjunction with water softeners tends to become sticky.
In future, add washing powder into the dispenser drawer first, and then add the water softener.
The siphon tube is not correctly positioned or is clog‐ ged.
Clean the siphon, see "Cleaning and care - Clean‐ ing the detergent dispenser drawer".
43
Problem solving guide
An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem
Liquid detergent does not give the required re‐ sult.
Grey, greasy particles cling to washed laun‐ dry.
White residues which look like powder deter‐ gent are seen on dark textiles after washing.
Cause and remedy
Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea stains.
Use a general purpose powder detergent contain‐ ing a bleaching agent.
Add stain removers to compartment of the dis‐ penser drawer.
Never put stain removers and liquid detergent to‐ gether in the dispenser drawer.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
Use more detergent.
Before washing the next load run a Cottons 60°C programme with powder detergent but without a load.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. These have ended up on the laundry.
Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush once the laundry is dry.
Wash dark textiles using a detergent which con‐ tains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain no zeolites.
Use the Dark garments / Denim programme for dark coloured laundry.
44
Problem solving guide

45
Problem solving guide
Opening the door in the event of a blocked drain outlet and/or power failure
Switch off the washing machine.
There is a lever behind the detergent drawer fascia panel for opening the ac‐ cess panel to the drain filter.
Blocked drain outlet
If the drain outlet is blocked, a large quantity of water (up to 25 litres) can remain in the washing machine.
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 washing machine
Place a suitable container under the access flap.
When draining water from the ma‐ chine, do not unscrew the drain filter completely or take it right out.
Remove the lever.
Use it to open the access panel.
Slowly and carefully unscrew the drain filter to let the water out. 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 float switch. This will prevent the washing machine from functioning.
46
Tighten the drain filter back up again if you need to interrupt the flow of water.
Once the flow of water ceases:
Problem solving guide
Make sure the drain filter is se‐ curely 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 dis‐ penser drawer after cleaning the drain filter. Excess water will be pumped out automatically before the next wash pro‐ gramme.
Opening the door
Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to re‐ move laundry. Reaching into a mov‐ ing drum is extremely dangerous.
Remove the drain filter completely.
Clean it thoroughly.
Remove any foreign objects (e.g. but‐ tons, coins, etc.) and fluff from the fil‐ ter housing. Turn the impeller by hand to check that it rotates freely.
Put the drain filter back in place and secure it.
Pull the emergency release down‐ wards. The door will open.

Installation and connection
Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable in‐ stallation surface for a washing ma‐ chine, 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 se‐ curely 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 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joist and not only the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first.
Tip: 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 us‐ ing retaining clips (available from
Miele). 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 washing 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 ma‐ chine 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 catches at the top and bottom.
51
Installation and connection
Using the spanner supplied, turn the left-hand transit bar 90°, then
Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°, then
pull the transit bar out.
pull the transit bar out.
52
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
Plug the holes with the plastic caps as illustrated.
Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure the top catch is located above the holder.
The washing 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.
53
Installation and connection
Levelling the machine
The washing machine must stand per‐ fectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase elec‐ tricity 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 deliv‐ ered.
Use a spirit level to check that the washing machine is standing level.
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again us‐ ing 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 a danger of the machine moving about.
Using the spanner supplied turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise direc‐ tion. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.
54
Installation and connection
Washer-dryer stack
The washing machine can be combined with a Miele tumble dryer in a washerdryer stack. The appropriate "WTV" stacking kit* to match your dryer is re‐ quired.
All parts marked* are available from your Dealer or Miele.
Building under a continuous work‐ top/ in a kitchen run
Building under kits* must only be in‐ stalled/dismantled by a suitably qualified fitter in accordance with the instructions supplied.
– A special building under kit* with a cover plate to replace the machine lid is required. It must be fitted by a suit‐ ably qualified fitter to ensure electri‐ cal safety. N.B. If there is space to push the washing machine under the worktop without removing the lid, the building under kit is not necessary.
Otherwise it is essential.
– Connections for electricity, water and drainage should be installed in such a way that they remain accessible when the machine is in its final posi‐ tion.
Fitting instructions are supplied with the conversion kit.
Please note: 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
55
Installation and connection
The water protection system
The Miele water protection system pro‐ tects all parts of the washing machine from water damage.
The system consists of three main components:
– the inlet hose
– the electronic unit and drainage and overflow protection
– the drain hose
Inlet hose
– Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand pressure of at least 7,000 kPa.
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 water inlet valves, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pum‐ ped 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.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a venti‐ lation system which prevents the wash‐ ing machine from being emptied com‐ pletely.
56
Connection to the water sup‐ ply
The washing machine should be con‐ nected to a mains water supply in ac‐ cordance with current local and nation‐ al safety regulations. The German au‐ thorities do not require it to have a nonreturn 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. If it is higher than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a pressure re‐ ducing valve.
Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock with
3
/
4
" threaded union. The stopcock should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
The connection point is subject to mains water pressure. Turn on the stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer and union if appropriate.
The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.
Installation and connection
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose should you ever need a replacement or exten‐ sion. These are tested to withstand pressure of at least 7,000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet valve, the two dirt filters (one in the open end of the inlet hose, the other in the inlet point in the machine) must not be removed.
Extension hose
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are available from your Miele Dealer or
Miele as optional extras.
57
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 ei‐ ther direction, or can be detached if re‐ quired, with a sharp twist and pull.
If required, the drain hose can be exten‐ ded to a length of 5 m. The necessary parts can be purchased from your Miele
Dealer or Miele.
* 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 Miele or your Miele
Dealer for advice. If necessary, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 2.5 m. The necessary parts can be purchased from your Miele Dealer or
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 floor gully.
4. Connected securely to a standpipe.
