Economical usage
Economical usage
The key to good wash results is finding the correct combination of detergent and temperature, and then allowing the washing machine to optimize their usage through its programming. Programme lengths can vary for this reason.
With the “Hydromatic” system, the drum can revolve at various speeds.
Faster and slower agitation speeds, along with pauses for soaking, combine to ensure excellent results.
The automatic load control feature ensures the correct water level for the type of fabric and load being washed
(even though it may appear as if there is too little water in the drum!).
Because of the accurately balanced drum and special sound insulation, machine noise is minimal while operating.
The fully electronic controls offer a combination of simple operation with many optional features.
For instance, since a main wash generally gives good results for a normal load, the pre-wash cycle has been made a user selectable option, saving time,water and energy over older full cycle machines.
Economy
For optimum economical usage, remember the following tips:
– The automatic load control feature will adjust the water level for loads between 1 and 5 kg. However, if possible, load the machine to its maximum capacity in order to use water and energy to the best advantage.
– Use only the correct amount of detergent required for the water hardness in your area. Miele recommends the use of low-sudsing detergents, as their characteristics allow them to perform better in front-loading machine than regular powder or liquid detergents.
If the wash is not heavily stained, select a lower temperature than indicated on the wash care label.

,...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide.
Before washing
1
Prepare the wash load
Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Sort the laundry by care label and color.
Only wash items that are labeled machine washable by the manufacturer.
Dark fabrics often contain “excess dye” and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load.
Delicate fabrics should be washed separately using a delicates programme.
Only wash wool or wool mixtures if they are labeled machine washable on the textile care label.
Pre-treat the laundry
Badly soiled areas (e.g. collars and cuffs) and water soluble stains can be pre-treated with bar soap, stain remover, or detergent mixed into a solution or paste.
Do not use detergents containing solvents in the machine.
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects inadvertently left in pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to clothes and the machine. Damage to the machine can occur if wires from underwire bras come loose.
Do not wash underwire bras in the machine without ensuring that wires are secure.
Sort the laundry

11
Adding detergent
Adding detergent
Detergent should be added to compartment j at the beginning of each wash cycle.
Miele recommends the use of low-sudsing detergents, as their characteristics allow them to perform better in frontloading machines than regular powder or liquid detergents.
Due to the Miele “Eco-System”, approximately 2/3 of the manufacturer’s recommended amount of detergent is generally sufficient for excellent wash results.
If you have difficulty finding a low-sudsing detergent, contact Miele Limited.
Do not use chlorine bleach! Chlorine bleach will damage the machine.
It is important to add the correct amount of detergent, because...
...too little detergent can result in:
– grey laundry
– grease/stains not being removed
– lime deposits on the heater elements and drum.
...too much detergent can result in:
– excessive foam
– low level of agitation
– poor cleaning and rinsing results.
For extremely hard water:
Water is taken in through compartment j in the main wash. If your water is extremely hard (above 400 ppm CaCO
3
) and the capacity of compartment j is insufficient for the amount of detergent needed, a Service Technician can reprogramme the machine so that water and detergent can also be taken in through compartment i.
Water Softeners
If you wish to use a water softener to cut down on detergent usage in hard water areas:
– add the amount of detergent necessary for a soft water area.
– Following the manufacturer’s recommendations,add the specified amount of water softener.
Always add the detergent first, in compartments i and j followed by the softener, to ensure that both are properly dispensed.
For small loads:
– Gradually reduce the amount of detergent used with each small load.
– Check the wash results and the condition of the laundry.
– If the laundry is not clean or if it is grey or hard to the touch, add slightly more detergent the next time you use the machine.
12
Adding fabric softener or starch
Adding fabric softener or starch
If fabric softener is desired, it will work more effectively and be gentler on the clothes if it is dispensed in the final rinse cycle of the wash, rather than in the tumble dryer through the use of softener sheets. To automatically dispense fabric softener:
Open the lid of compartment p.
At the end of the programme a small amount of water will normally remain in compartment p. A high water level in this compartment, however, may indicate that the siphon is clogged or the dispenser drawer was opened during the last rinse cycle, thereby interrupting the distribution of fabric softener. In this case, the siphon tube should be cleaned as described on Page 21.
Starch
If starch is used for shirts, blouses, table cloths, napkins, etc., pour the liquid starch into compartment p (use the some procedure as for fabric softener).
Never mix fabric softener and starch together in compartment p. This can lead to a blockage in the washer’s overflow system.
Following the manufacturer’s recommendations, pour the specified amount of liquid fabric softener into compartment p. However, do not exceed the maximum fill level marked inside the compartment, as any excess will prematurely activate the siphon and be wasted.
Close the compartment lid and push in the dispenser drawer.
The conditioner will automatically be dispensed during the last rinse cycle.
Using the “Starch” programme for dispensing liquid starch
– Prepare the starch solution in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and pour it into compartment i.
– Use the normal water level (Water
Plus button “out”) when starching so that the solution will have the maximum effect.
“Without final spin” can be selected to reduce fabric creasing.

Programmes
Programmes
The run time of front-loading machines is longer than that for most top-loading, vertical tub machines. This is because front-loading machines balance the 5 basic washing factors (mechanical action, water, detergent, temperature and time) diffently than do vertical tub machines. Miele’s front-loading machines use an advanced hydromatic washing action, precise and steady temperatures, less water and detergent than vertical tub machines but more time. The longer run time is part of the equation that produces Miele’s excellent wash results.

Clean the dispenser compartments and the fabric softener duct.
Press down the red release lever and, at the same time, pull the drawer out of the machine.
Remove the siphon tube from compartment p and rinse in warm water.
27
USER MAINTENANCE Cleaning and care
Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter and pump
Check the fluff (drain) filter initially after
3-4 washes to ascertain how often it is likely to require cleaning.
With normal cleaning approx. 2 litres of water run out.
If the drain outlet is clogged, more water will be retained in the machine
(up to 25 litres) .
Caution: If laundry has been washed at a high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot.
Open the flap.
Place a dish under the drain fixture.
Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from behind the detergent drawer facia panel, (see illustration above).
Open the door.
Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times. Do not take it right out.
With large volumes of water, when the dish is full screw the fluff filter back into position, and empty the dish before repeating the procedure.
28
USER MAINTENANCE Cleaning and care
Once the flow of water ceases, remove the fluff filter completely.
Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.
Remove any foreign objects (e.g.
buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff.
Turn the impeller by hand to check that it is free to rotate. Any foreign objects causing an obstruction should be removed.
Clean the inside of the fluff filter housing.
Remove any deposits of lime scale and detergent or foreign objects from the thread of the filter housing and filter unit
(as these objects can cause a leakage of water). Deposits of limescale are often a sign of underdosage of powder.
Put the fluff filter back in place and secure.
After performing this action gently pour approx. 2 litres of water into the detergent dispenser compartment j to reactivate the ball valve which keeps detergent in circulation in the suds.

USER MAINTENANCE Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filter in the water inlet
(First turn off the stopcock).
The washing machine has two inlet filters to protect the inlet valves.
– in the open end of the inlet hose.
– in the inlet connection between the hose and the machine, only to be cleaned by a Service engineer.
The filter in the inlet hose should be cleaned about every six months, or after an interruption to the external water supply.
To clean the filter in the inlet hose:
Turn off the valve.
Carefully unscrew the inlet hose from the valve by turning the connector counterclockwise using a wrench if necessary.
Remove the rubber seal from the connector.
Using needle nose pliers, grasp the plastic filter and pull it out of the hose connector. Clean the filter under running water and carefully remove any large particles.
Replace the filter and seal and reconnect the hose. Slowly turn on the valve and check for leaks.

Problem solving guide
What to do if, . . .
. . . Grey greasy particles cling to washed laundry?
. . . Liquid detergent does not give the required result?
. . . After washing pilling appears on the fabric?
Cause . . .
Insufficient detergent was used to break down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
Liquid detergents do not contain bleaching agents. They do not remove stains as well as powdered detergents containing non-chlorinated bleaches.
This is a normal occurance of everyday wear with some fabrics.
Remedy . . .
– Add more detergent.
– Before washing the next load run a COTTONS 50°C programme with detergent but without a load to clean the machine.
– Use a general purpose powder detergent containing a bleaching agent.
–
Pre-treat stains with a stain remover.
These fabrics must be handled with care. Wash them using the
DELICATES programme and/or select “Gentle wash” in the future.

Opening the drum door in the event of a power failure
Switch off the washing machine.
Problem solving guide
Place a dish or bowl under the spout.
Point the drain hose into the container.
Remove the flap opener from behind the detergent drawer facia panel.
Remove the stopper.
Caution: if laundry has been washed at a high temperature water draining out of the machine will still be hot!
The amount of water discharged depends on the drainage height. A delivery head (e.g. 1 m) will mean there is more water to drain. The container will need to be emptied several times.
When no more water drains out place the stopper back in the hose.
Open the flap (in the machine plinth).
35
Problem solving guide
Pull the emergency door latch downwards using a spoon handle (see illustration). The machine door will then open.
Please note that: on machines with left hand hinging the emergency door latch is located behind a second access flap in the centre of the plinth.
Always make sure the drum is stationary before reaching in to the machine to remove washing. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.
To check water pressure
Place a bucket under the water supply valve.
Turn on the valve.
If 5 litres of water flow into the bucket in
15 seconds the water pressure is correct.
Electric socket
If there is any doubt about the electricity supply socket, consult a qualified electrician.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation surface
Experience has shown that a concrete floor is the most suitable surface for a washing machine. Concrete floors are far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floors.
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 installation must be on a wooden joist floor, we recommend the use of a plywood base at least 3 cm thick and 60 x 60 cm wide. Ideally the base should be large enough to span several joists and should be anchored to the joists and not just the floorboards.
As a general rule, we recommend the installation of the machine (or washer/dryer stack) in the corner of a room where the stability of the floor is at its greatest.
Removing the shipping struts
Turn the left-side shipping strut 90° counterclockwise.
Installation
Lift the machine from its shipping pallet and move it to the installation site.
Please note:
Do not lift the machine by the drum door.
Ensure that the machine feet and the floor are dry to prevent slippage during the spin cycle.
Turn the right-side shipping strut 90° clockwise.
38
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Withdraw the two struts together with the support plate.
Plug the two holes with the plastic caps supplied.
The machine should not be moved without the transit struts in place.
The transit fitting should be stored in a safe place for future use. It must be reinstalled before the machine moved. Reinstallation can be carried out by reversing the procedure.
39
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Levelling the machine
To ensure smooth operation, it is essential that the machine is level.
Failure to level the machine can result in the machine “banging” in the spin cycle or “walking” across the floor during operaton. Energy and water use will also increase.
Adjust the four leveling feet as follows:
Loosen the conternuts (item #2) on all four legs by moving the handle of the screwdriver to the left (see illustration).
Adjust the right rear leg to the proper length. Use the screwdriver to turn the counternut up until it is tight against the bottom tray.
Move the machine to its location.
BEWARE: The washing machine is heavier than it looks! When working with the machine, be careful that it does not slip or slide along the floor.
Take care not to injure yourself or damage any surrounding furniture.
Shorten the front left leg so the machine is standing on the other three legs only. Push the top front left corner diagonally to ensure that the right rear leg is resting on the floor.
Check with a level in both planes as shown in the illustration.
To tilt the machine toward the back, extend the right front leg by turning the leg to the left (see item #1).
To tilt sideways, shorten or extend the left rear leg.
Check with a level again in both planes. If still not level, repeat the adjustment.
When the position is correct, use the screwdriver (move the handle to the right) to turn the counternuts up on the right front and left rear legs until they are tight.
Extend the left front leg until it is in contact with the floor. Add 1 / 2 turn rotation.
40
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Try to rock the machine diagonally to find which diagonal is firmer. If the diagonal from front left to rear right is less firm, extend the front left leg. Adjust only the front left leg until both diagonals have the same stiffness.
When finished, turn and lock the counternut on the front left leg.
All four counternuts must be tight against the bottom of the machine.
In addition, check to see that the legs were not inadvertently unscrewed while tightening the counternuts. Running a machine that is not level or whose legs are not tight may cause damage to both the machine and its surrounding area.
Building under
When building this appliance under a
(continuous) countertop, ensure that the machine has at least a 6 mm (1/4 inch) clearance. If it touches the cabinetry it may be noisy. As well, the top machine cover may be removed if desired.
Connections for electricity, water and drainage should be installed in such a way that they remain accessible when the machine is in place.
If a countertop is placed over the washer, at least a 6 mm ( 1 / 4 ")gap must be left between the top of the machine and bottom of the countertop; and nothing should be within
12 mm ( 1 / 2 ") of any other side of the washing machine.
41
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Plumbing
Plumbing
Connect the cold water supply hose
(marked blue) to the cold water tap and the warm water supply hose
(marked red) to the warm water tap.
Turn on taps and check for leakage.
The water pressure must be within the
0.1-1 MPa (14 – 140 psi) range. If the water pressure is greater than 1 Mpa
(140 psi), a reducer valve must be fitted. At pressures below 0.1 Mpa
(14 psi), the standard inlet valve of the machine must be exchanged for a low pressure version by an authorized
Miele Service Technician.
The water supply hoses are equipped with a strainer filter; please do not remove this filter.
Special note
If the machine is not to be connected to a hot water supply, it is essential that the hot water inlet hose is also connected to the cold water supply, using a Y connector. Otherwise correct functioning of the machine could be impeded.
It is not allowed to connect the machine to a hot water supply only, for functional and safety reasons.
Connection to the drainage system
The 1.5 m hooked drain hose may be connected as follows:
1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose securely over the edge and secure, e.g. by tying the hose to the water tap.
2. Connection to a drain pipe: fit drain hose into a 38 mm ( 1 1/2 ") pipe and secure firmly. (An antisiphoning device is not required.)
3. Drainage into floor gully: if required, the drain hose may be extended to
5 m (15 ft.) maximum.
The machine drains via a pump with a maximum delivery head of 1.2 m (4 ft.).
The hose must not be kinked as this restricts drainage.
