					qualified electrician.   
					The electrical safety of this appli-   
					ance can only be guaranteed when   
					continuity is complete between the ma-   
					chine and an effective earthing system   
					which complies with local and national   
					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.   
					Correct usage   
					The manufacturer cannot be held liable   
					for the consequences of an inadequate   
					earthing system (e.g. electric shock).   
					Only use the washing machine to   
					wash items which are specified by   
					the manufacturer to be machine-wash-   
					able on the wash-care label, and tex-   
					tiles composed of hand-washable wool   
					or wool blend fabrics as well as satin,   
					lace, silk and other hand-washable   
					garments.   
					Any other applications may be danger-   
					ous. The manufacturer is not liable for   
					damage resulting from improper use or   
					operation.   
					Do not connect the appliance 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).   
					The machine is built in accordance   
					with current safety requirements.   
					Unauthorised repairs could result in un-   
					foreseen dangers for the user, for which   
					the manufacturer cannot accept liability.   
					Repairs should only be undertaken by a   
					Miele approved technician.   
					Ensure current is not supplied to the   
					appliance while maintenance or repair   
					work is being carried out.   
					This appliance is not a toy! To   
					avoid the risk or injury do not allow   
					children to play on or near it or to play   
					with the controls. Supervise its use by   
					the elderly or infirm.   
					Technical safety   
					The machine is only completely   
					isolated from the electricity supply   
					when:   
					Before setting up the machine,   
					check it for any externally visible   
					damage. Do not install and use a

					fitted can the safety standards of the   
					machine be guaranteed.   
					Before using the machine for the   
					first time, check that the transit   
					fitting at the rear of the machine has   
					been removed (see section on   
					"Installation"). During spinning, a transit   
					fitting which is still in place may result in   
					damage to both the machine and   
					adjacent furniture or appliances.   
					If the connection cable is faulty it   
					must only be replaced by a Miele   
					approved service technician to protect   
					the user from danger.   
					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.

					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. If in   
					doubt, contact the Miele Customer Ser-   
					vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.   
					Always make sure the drum is   
					stationary before reaching in to   
					remove washing. Reaching into a   
					moving drum is extremely dangerous.   
					Textiles which have been   
					pre-treated in solvent based   
					cleaning agents must be thoroughly   
					rinsed in clean water before being   
					washed in the machine.   
					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.   
					Never use solvent based cleaning   
					agents in this machine, as this may   
					result in damage to component parts   
					and create toxic fumes. Such   
					detergents also pose a fire and   
					explosion hazard.   
					Disposal of your old machine   
					Before discarding an old machine,   
					switch it off at the wall socket and   
					unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut   
					off the cable directly behind the   
					appliance to prevent misuse. This   
					should be done by a competent   
					person.   
					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.   
					The manufacturer cannot be held   
					liable for damage caused by   
					non-compliance with these Warning   
					and Safety instructions.

				Before using for the first time   
					Before using the machine for the first   
					time ensure that it is correctly   
					installed and connected. See the   
					relevant section under "Installation".   
					Also check that the fluff filter is   
					securely tightened. Otherwise there   
					is a risk of water leakage during use.   
					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.   
					^ Turn on the stopcock.   
					^ Press the I-On/0-Off button in.   
					^ Turn the programme selector to   
					Cottons 40°C.   
					^ Press the "Spin" button repeatedly to   
					select Without spin.   
					^ Press Start.   
					When this programme has finished turn   
					the programme selector to Finish. Your   
					washing machine is ready for using for   
					the first time.

				Washing environmentally and economically   
					– Water consumption and energy   
					usage are determined by the size of   
					the load. Load to the maximum   
					recommended for the programme   
					selected.   
					– Use the Short wash option for   
					normally or very lightly soiled   
					laundry.   
					– Do not exceed the amount of   
					detergent recommended by the   
					manufacturer on the packaging.   
					– To save energy wash normally and   
					lightly soiled laundry at lower   
					– Reduce the amounts of detergent   
					with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half   
					load, approx. one third less   
					detergent).   
					temperatures. The 95°C Cottons   
					programme is probably only needed   
					in exceptional circumstances, e.g.   
					for oil based stains or where a very   
					hot wash is required.   
					– Select the highest suitable spin   
					speed in the wash programme when   
					tumble drying afterwards.   
					– Use the Mixed wash or the Quick   
					wash programme for smaller   
					amounts of laundry.   
					– Load recognition and automatic   
					rinsing can cause the duration of a   
					programme to vary greatly. The main   
					wash may be shortened and a rinse   
					cycle omitted depending on the   
					amount of laundry.   
					– A main wash (programme without   
					pre-wash) is sufficient for cleaning   
					normally soiled laundry.   
					– By using the additional option Soak   
					for heavily soiled laundry you can   
					select a lower temperature in the   
					main wash.   
					– Use the additional option Soak   
					instead of Pre-wash with heavily   
					soiled laundry.   
					If Soak is followed immediately by a   
					main wash the same suds are used.

					and special application detergents.   
					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 by   
					proportion to suit smaller loads!   
					Woollens and knitwear containing wool   
					mixtures and hand-washable garments

					withdraw the plug from the socket   
					prior to cleaning the machine.   
					Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)   
					with powder detergent approx. every 6   
					weeks to help prevent deposits building   
					up in the machine. These can occur   
					when washing is mainly done at low   
					temperatures, and also lead to

				Cleaning and care   
					Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter   
					and pump   
					Check the fluff 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 blocked, up to   
					25 litres of water will be retained in the   
					machine.   
					,Caution: if laundry has been   
					washed at a high temperature, water   
					draining out of the machine will still   
					be hot. Danger of scalding!   
					^ Use it to open the access flap.   
					Procedure for draining the machine   
					^ Place a suitable container under the   
					access flap.   
					There is a filter flap opener located   
					behind the detergent drawer fascia   
					panel (see illustration).   
					When draining water from the   
					machine, do not unscrew the fluff   
					filter completely or take it right out.   
					^ Remove the opener.   
					^ Unscrew the fluff filter lid until water   
					runs out.   
					To stop the flow of water:   
					^ Tighten the fluff filter back up again.   
					33   
					Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   
					 
				Cleaning and care   
					Once the flow of water ceases:   
					^ Clean the inside of the fluff filter   
					housing. Remove any deposits of   
					limescale and detergent or foreign   
					objects from the thread of the filter   
					housing and filter unit (as these   
					objects can cause a leakage of wa-   
					ter). Deposits of limescale are often a   
					sign of underdosage of powder.   
					^ Put the fluff filter back in place and   
					secure.   
					,Make sure the fluff filter is   
					securely tightened. Otherwise there   
					is a risk of water leakage during use.   
					^ Remove the fluff filter completely.   
					After cleaning   
					^ Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.   
					^ Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the   
					detergent dispenser compartment   
					j to reactivate the ball valve.   
					^ 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 object   
					causing an obstruction should be   
					removed.

				Cleaning and care   
					Cleaning the water inlet filters   
					To clean the filter in the water inlet   
					valve   
					The washing machine has two filters to   
					protect the inlet valves.   
					^ Using pliers, carefully loosen the   
					ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve   
					and unscrew.   
					These filters should be checked every   
					six months or so, or more often if there   
					are frequent interruptions to the water   
					supply.   
					To clean the filter in the union in the   
					open end of the inlet hose:   
					^ First turn off the stopcock.   
					^ Unscrew the threaded union   
					connecting the free end of the inlet   
					hose to the stopcock.   
					^ Use water pump pliers to withdraw   
					the plastic filter by the bar (see   
					illustration). Clean, put back and   
					secure.   
					The two filters must be put back in   
					place after cleaning.   
					^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the   
					recess.   
					^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the   
					plastic filter bar 2, remove the filter   
					and clean.   
					^ 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 it leaks,   
					tighten the connection.

				Installation and connection   
					Installation surface   
					Installing the washing machine   
					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.   
					To manoeuvre the machine out of its   
					packing case to its installation site hold   
					it by the edge of the lid where it   
					protrudes to the rear of the washing   
					machine as well as by the handle   
					recesses at the front.   
					Please note the following points:   
					Please note:   
					^ The machine must be level and   
					securely positioned.   
					^ Do not lift the machine by the drum   
					door.   
					^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,   
					the machine should not be installed   
					on soft floor coverings.   
					,Ensure that the machine feet and   
					the floor are dry to prevent the   
					machine from slipping during the   
					spin cycle.   
					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.   
					Removing the transit fittings   
					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).   
					^ 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.

					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 on to the two holes.

					the caps.   
					^ Secure the transit bars to the back of   
					the washing machine. Make sure that

				Installation and connection   
					Levelling the machine   
					The machine must stand perfectly level   
					on all four feet to ensure safe and   
					proper operation.   
					^ 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.   
					Incorrect installation may increase   
					electricity and water consumption and   
					may cause the machine to move about.   
					^ 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.   
					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.   
					,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.

					The Miele water protection   
					system   
					– 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.   
					The Miele water protection system   
					protects the washing machine from   
					water damage.   
					The system consists of three main   
					components:   
					3) Drain hose   
					1) the inlet hose   
					The drain hose is protected by a   
					ventilation system which prevents the   
					washing machine from being   
					emptied completely.   
					2) the electronic unit and the washing

					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 appliance. A   
					float switches off the safety valves,

					than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a   
					reducer 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.   
					The washing machine is not suitable   
					for connection to a hot water supply   
					and connection to a household wa-   
					ter softener is not recommended.   
					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.

				Installation and connection   
					Connection to the drainage   
					system   
					Drain hose connection:   
					1. Direct into a sink or basin:   
					Please note the following   
					The machine drains via a drain pump   
					with a delivery head of 1 metre*.   
					– Hook the hose over the edge and   
					secure.   
					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.   
					– 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.   
					If required, the drain hose can be   
					extended to a length of 5 m. The   
					necessary parts can be purchased   
					from the Miele Spare Parts Department   
					or your Miele dealer.   
					2. Connected securely to a plastic drain   
					pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no   
					need to use a non-return valve.   
					* For a delivery head of more than 1 m   
					(up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a second   
					duo-drain pump is available with the   
					corresponding kit from the Miele Spare   
					Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.   
					3. Connected securely to a standpipe.   
					4. Connected securely to a floor gully.

					Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363   
					If this machine is fitted with a   
					non-rewireable plug, the following   
					information applies:   
					If the socket outlets are not suitable for   
					the plug supplied with the product, it   
					must be cut off and an appropriate plug   
					fitted. The fuse carrier and fuse should   
					be removed from the old plug and   
					disposed of.   
					The old plug should then be disposed   
					of and on no account be inserted into   
					any socket elsewhere in the house   
					(electric shock hazard).   
					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 or Service   
					agent.
