Caring for our environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should 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!

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic 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 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.

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 connected 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).

~

This washing machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used.

~

In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

~

This appliance 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.

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 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.

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 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 with 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.

~

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.

~

Only remove laundry from the washing machine once the drum has stopped turning. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous and could result in injury.

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.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Operating the washing machine

Programme duration

After the start of a programme, the estimated programme duration will appear in the display in hours and minutes.

When delay start is being used, the programme duration will appear after the delay start time has elapsed.

During the first 8 minutes the washing machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry and uses this to calculate the load. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate.

Delay start

The delay start time selected will appear in the display.

After the Start/Stop button has been pressed, the delay start time will start counting down. If the delay start time is more than 10 hours, it will count down by the hour. If it is less than 9 hours and

59 minutes it will count down minute by minute.

Once the delay start time has elapsed, the programme begins and the estimated programme duration shows in the display.

Programmable functions

The programmable functions can be used to tailor washing programmes to suit your individual requirements. In programming mode, the display will show the function selected.

11

Before using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly installed and connected. See

"Installation and connection". Also check that the drain filter is securely tightened to prevent the risk of water leaks during use.

Setting the language

You will be asked to select the language you require for the display. It is possible to change the language at any time via the programmable functions.

!

deutsch

^ If the language shown is not the one you want, select the language you do want by turning the programme selector. Confirm your selection by pressing the Start/Stop button.

This washing machine has undergone a thorough functional test in the factory and there will be some residual water in the drum from this process.

Reminder to remove transit bars

For safety reasons, spinning is not possible until the machine has been prepared for using for the first time. To activate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without laundry and without detergent.

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.

^ Press the K button in.

If the washing machine is being switched on for the first time, the welcome screen will appear.

The welcome screen will appear in the display every time the machine is switched on until a programme lasting longer than 1 hour has been completed.

To avoid the risk of damage, the transit bars must be removed before the machine is used for the first time.

See "Installation and connection" for instructions on how to do this.

^ After removing the transit bars (if this has not already been done by your fitter), press the Start/Stop button.

Running your first programme

Run the Cottons 60°C programme without any laundry and without detergent.

^ Open the stopcock.

^ Press the Start/Stop button.

^ At the end of the programme switch the machine off.

The machine is now ready for use.

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.

– 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, Pre-wash and Pre-wash + soak)

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

Pre-wash + Soak extra option for very 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 or on this machine.

^ Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.

Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.

– 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.

– Knitted garments, trousers and jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer.

– 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)

B Switch on the washing machine

C Load the drum

^ Press the Door button to open the drum 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.

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.

D Select a programme

^ Turn the programme selector clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required programme. The programme indicator light for the programme selected will come on.

E Select a temperature / spin speed

The suggested temperature and/or spin speed can be changed.

2:59 60° 1400

^ Press the Temperature button to alter the temperature and press the Spin

speed button to alter the spin speed.

^ Shut the door with a gentle swing.

15

How to wash correctly

F Select an extra option(s)

^ Select an extra option by pressing the appropriate button. The relevant indicator light will come on to show which extra option has been selected.

Not all the extra options are suitable for use with every programme.

You can only select extra options which are compatible with the programme being used.

Short

For light to normal soiling with no visible staining.

The duration of the main wash is reduced.

Extra quiet

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

The machine will activate the Rinse hold ( e) option and not spin if the

Extra quiet option is selected. The programme duration is longer.

To deactivate Rinse hold

^ Use the Spin speed button to select the spin speed you want.

By using Delay start you can make sure the final spin occurs outside quiet periods in the home.

Water plus

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

plus option is selected.

However, you can select other settings for Water plus. These are described in

"Programmable functions".

Pre-wash

+

The Pre-wash

+ button is used for activating the Pre-wash option on its own as well as a Pre-wash with an additonal soak time of one or two hours.

Press the button: x 1 = Pre-wash x 2 = Pre-wash + 1 h soak x 3 = Pre-wash +2 h soak x 4 = No options selected

16

How to wash correctly

G Select Delay start (if required)

The start of a programme can be delayed from 30 minutes up to 24 hours, allowing you to make use of night-time economy electricity rates, for example.

See "Delay start" for more information.

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 in).

– A burden to the environment.

^ Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergent to the compartments as follows: i j

Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the total recommended amount as follows: add and

At the end of the delay start time or immediately after the programme has started (if no delay start time has been selected) the estimated programme duration will appear in the display.

During the first 8 minutes the machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate.

The programme sequence is also shown in the display. The washing machine shows you when each section of the programme is reached.

J Remove the laundry when the

programme has finished

In the anti-crease phase after the programme has finished, the following will appear alternately in the display:

0:00 Anti-crease and

0:00 Finish

^ Press the Door button to open the drum door.

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.

^ Remove the laundry.

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.

^ 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.

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 the programme, the drum continues to turn at intervals for up to

30 minutes to help prevent creasing.

Exception: There is no anti-crease phase in the Woollens programme.

The door can be opened and laundry removed at any time during the anti-crease phase.

1)

A second rinse is carried out when a temperature between 60°C and 95°C has been selected. A third rinse is carried out when a temperature below 60°C is selected.

2)

An 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

– No

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.

31

Detergent

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

– The quantity of 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

Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on soiling.

– 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.

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.

32

Detergent

Fabric conditioners and liquid starch

Starch

Stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.

Fabric conditioners

Make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying.

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.

^ Turn the programme selector to

Separate rinse/Starch.

^ Select a spin speed.

^ Press the Start/Stop button.

^ 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.

33

Cleaning and care

A range of Miele branded

CareCollection products are avaialble to order from Miele. See "Optional accessories".

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.

,

Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or multi-purpose cleaning agents.

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

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 non-abrasive 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 warm water.

34

^ Clean the siphon.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing

1. Remove the siphon from compartment

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

2. Replace the siphon.

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.

35

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 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.

36

General problems

Problem

The machine shakes during the spin cycle.

The machine feet are not level.

Possible cause Remedy

Level the machine (see

"Installation and connection").

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

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.

The laundry has not spun satisfactorily.

The spin speed selected was too low.

Select a higher spin speed next time.

The pump makes strange noises.

This is not a fault! These noises occur at the end of a pump sequence as a normal part of the operation.

There is a lot of detergent residue in the detergent drawer.

The water pressure is too low.

– Clean the water inlet filter.

– Select Water plus.

Powder detergent used with water softeners can be sticky.

Add washing powder and then add the water softener.

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

§ compartment.

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

Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.

The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. They have ended up on the laundry.

Remedy

Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea stains.

– Use a general purpose detergent containing a bleaching agent.

– Add stain removers into compartment j of the detergent dispenser drawer and liquid detergent into a dispenser ball.

– Never put stain removers and liquid detergent together in the dispenser drawer.

– Use more detergent.

– Before washing the next load run a Cottons 75°C programme with powder 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 /

Denim programme for dark coloured laundry.

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 following points:

^ 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 the use of a plywood base (at least 59x52x3cm). 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 a danger of the machine moving and falling off the plinth.

Installing the washing machine

To manoeuvre the machine out of its packing case to its installation site, hold it by the rear feet and 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 fittings

^ To remove the left and right covers

1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the cover as illustrated.

2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

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

,

The washing machine must not be moved without the transit bars in place.

Store 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.

^ Fit the covers onto the two holes.

Then plug the holes as shown with the caps.

51

Installation and connection

Levelling the machine

The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper 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.

^ Using the spanner supplied turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.

^ 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 sit 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.

Washer-dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of this washing machine. To do this the appropriate "WTV" stacking kit

(available to order) to match your washing machine is required.

58

Installation and connection

The Miele water protection system

The Miele water protection 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 can withstand pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.

2) Electronic unit and washing machine housing

– Sump

Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the machine. A float switches off the safety valves, preventing any more water flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.

– 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.

59

Installation and connection

Connection to the water supply

The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with local and national safety regulations.

The German authorities do not require it to have a non-return valve as the washing machine has been designed to comply with DIN regulations.

The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between

100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a pressure reducing valve.

Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock with

3

/

4

" thread. The stopcock should be fitted by a qualified plumber.

,

The connection point is subject to mains water pressure. Turn on the stopcock slowly and check for leaks.

Correct the position of the washer and union if appropriate.

In order to protect the water inlet valve, the two dirt filters - one in the open end of the inlet hose, one at the inlet point in the machine - must not be removed.

Extension hose

– Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department as optional extras.

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

Maintenance and care

Only use a genuine Miele hose should you ever need a replacement or extension. These are tested to withstand pressure of at least

7,000 kPa.

60

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 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.

61

Installation and connection
