sponsible for the consequences of an

inadequate earthing system.

For safety reasons do not operate

this appliance on an extension

cable. Danger of overheating.

Correct usage

Only use the washing machine to

wash items which are declared by

the manufacturer to be machine-wash-

able on the wash-care label.

Any other applications may be dan-

gerous. The manufacturer is not liable

for damage resulting from improper

use or operation.

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

responsibility. Repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele approved engin-

eer.

This appliance should not be oper-

ated by children. Supervise its use

by the elderly or infirm.

age to both the machine and adjacent

furniture or appliances.

– if a fault has been identified, the ma-

chine must be examined by a com-

petent person before further use and

repaired if necessary.

Turn off the stopcock if the ma-

chine will be left for any length of

time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is

no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vi-

cinity.

Faulty components must only be

exchanged for Miele original spare

parts. Only when these parts are fitted

can the safety standards of the ma-

chine be guaranteed.

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.

Use

Make sure the drain hose is secure, so

that the force of the water flowing out of

the hose does not dislodge it. Other-

wise this will result in flooding.

Do not install your washing ma-

chine in rooms where tempera-

tures below freezing may occur.

Frozen hoses may burst under press-

ure. The reliability of the electronic con-

trol system may be impaired at tem-

peratures below freezing point.

Take care to ensure that foreign ob-

jects (e.g. nails, needles, coins,

paper clips, etc.) do not find their way

into the machine with the washing (e.g.

in pockets). Foreign objects can dam-

age components of the machine, which

in turn can result in damage to the

washing.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infesta-

tion by cockroaches or other vermin,

pay particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any dam-

age which may be caused by cock-

roaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the appliance guarantee.

Washing environmentally and economically

Caring for the environment means sav-

ing water, energy and detergent when

washing but without compromising on

results.

Economy tips

To help you wash most economically,

remember the following tips:

– The automatic load control facility

allows you to wash individual loads

of between 1 and 5 kg. Ideally wash

with the maximum load specified for

each programme. This uses the en-

ergy to the best advantage.

The key to a good wash result is finding

the best combination of amount of

detergent, temperature, length of pro-

gramme and the machine’s technology.

If necessary, some programmes take

longer to achieve this effect. With the

"Hydromatic" system, the drum can re-

volve at different speeds. Longer and

slower action together with pauses for

steeping, work towards a good result.

– Only use the correct amount of deter-

gent required for the water hardness

level in your area, according to the

detergent manufacturer’s recommen-

dations.

The automatic load control facility en-

sures the correct water level for the

type of fabric and laundry load being

washed. Sometimes it even appears

that there is no water in the drum.

– If washing is not heavily stained, se-

lect a lower temperature setting than

indicated on the wash care label but

do not additionally select "Short".

– Use the "Short wash" option for wash-

ing that is only very lightly soiled, but

do not additionally reduce the tem-

perature.

Normally, main wash is sufficient for a

clean result, so a pre-wash is not auto-

matically included in the programmes.

If it is wanted, a simple press on the

pre-wash selector includes it.

– Using the additional "Soak" option

allows you to reduce the tempera-

ture used in the main wash.

Before using for the first time

Flush out any residual test

Water hardness reminder

water still in the machine as

follows:

The amount of detergent will depend

on various factors including the

water hardness level in your area.

The dial located in the detergent dis-

penser box can be turned to the rele-

vant setting as a water hardness re-

minder, (using 1 = soft, 4 = very

hard).

Do not load the machine.

Add a little detergent to compart-

ment j.

Switch on the machine.

Press the “Short wash” selector.

Select the “COTTONS 60°C” pro-

gramme.

This operation will flush out any

residues.

Use the spatula supplied with the

machine. It is located at the rear of

the dispenser drawer.

If you do not know how hard the water

is in your catchment area, please con-

tact your local water authority.

Dark textiles often contain excess dye

and should be washed separately sev-

eral times before being included in a

mixed load.

offer a brief step by step guide to the

operating sequence.

Before washing

Delicate textiles should be washed sep-

arately in a delicates programme.

1 Prepare the wash load

Only wash textiles made from wool or

wool mixtures if the textile care label

states that they are suitable for ma-

chine washing.

Pre-treating the washing

Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and

cuffs, and water soluble stains can be

pre-treated with bar soap, liquid deter-

gent or detergent mixed into a solution

or paste.

With particularly stubborn stains ask

your Dry Cleaner for advice.

Do not use solvent based cleaning

agents in this machine.

2 Open the door

Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,

paper clips etc) can cause damage

to textiles and components in the

machine.

Sort the washing

Most textiles have a care label in the

collar or side seam. Sort the washing

by care label symbols. (See Symbols

chart). Only wash items in this machine

which are declared by the manufac-

turer as being machine washable on

the textile care label.

2) Increasing the water level:

The water level can be increased from a low level to a higher level by pressing the “Water plus” button

3) Top-up rinse:

Additional water flows into the drum, and the suds are cooled slightly. Hot water might damage plastic

drain pipes.

Graduated rinsing:

The suds are cooled at the end of the wash cycle by water flowing in and being pumped away at inter-

vals. This minimises the danger of creasing, by avoiding sudden temperature changes.

WOOLLENS:

Wool is susceptible to damage from movement when it is wet. Drum movement times during the pro-

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 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).

Turn the fluff filter lid round 2 - 3

times. Do not take it right out.

Installation

Installation surface

Ensure that the machine feet and the

floor are dry to prevent the machine

from slipping during the spin cycle.

Experience has shown that a concrete

floor is the most suitable installation sur-

face for a washing machine. Concrete

floors are far less prone to vibration dur-

ing the spin cycle than wooden floor-

boards or a surface with "soft" proper-

ties.

Removing the transit fitting

Please note the following points:

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 installation must be on a wooden

joist floor, we recommend the use of

a plywood base at least 30 mm thick

and 59 x 52 cm wide. Ideally, the

base should be large enough to

span several joists and should be

bolted to the joists and not only to

the floorboards. Check for the

presence of pipes and cables first.

The most stable part of a floor is

usually in the corner.

If the machine is installed on a

raised plinth, it must be secured

against slippage during spin using

retaining clips (available from the

Miele Spare Parts Dept).

Installation

Lift the machine from its packaging

base and move it to its site. Please

note:

Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°.

Do not lift the machine by the drum

door.

Installation

Withdraw the two bars together with

the support plate.

Plug the two holes with the plastic

caps supplied.

The machine should not be moved with-

out the transit fitting in place.

The transit fitting should be stored

in a safe place for future use. It

must be re-fitted if the machine is to

be moved again. Re-fitting is car-

ried out by reversing the procedure.

The Miele “Waterproof system” con-

nected between the stopcock and the

machine offers the safest protection

against water leaks.

Function

At the heart of this leak protection sys-

tem there is an electric safety valve,

which works like an automatic stop-

cock. The Miele “Waterproof system”

protects from water damage in the fol-

lowing cases:

For the “Waterproof system” to function

correctly, it may only be fitted in the po-

sitions shown (see illustrations).

Connection to the mains water supply

should incorporate a mains stopcock

with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should

be fitted by a qualified plumber.

Protection in the event of a leaking

machine

Any leaking water is collected in a

sump in the base of the appliance. A

float switch switches the safety valve

off electrically, no more water will flow

in.

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.

Protection in the event of a leaking

water inlet hose

The “Waterproof system” is NOT

suitable for connection to a hot

water supply.

Leaking water is fed into the sump

through the protective covering which

surrounds the inlet hose as a “second

skin”. The float switch switches off the

water supply.

Maintenance

NB. If you intend to unscrew the “Water-

proof system” unit from the mains water

supply it is essential that the machine is

first disconnected from the electricity

supply.

The protective sleeve of the hose must

not be damaged (see illustration).

Only use a genuine Miele “Waterproof

system” able to withstand pressure of

up to 70 bar, should you ever need a re-

placement.

The “Waterproof system” with a hose

length of approx. 4.5 metres is avail-

able as an optional extra.

In order to protect the water inlet

valves the two dirt filters, one in the

inlet union, the other in the solenoid

safety valve connection must not be

removed.

Plumbing

The “Waterproof system” must only

be connected to its own stopcock. It

must not be connected to mixer taps

or similar.

Important!

tion contains an electric component.

Do not dip into liquids!

Connection to the drainage system

Drain hose connection:

The machine drains via a drain pump

with a delivery head of 1 metre.

Direct into a sink: Hook the hose

over the edge and secure. Make

sure that the water can flow freely to

avoid flooding and to prevent water

from being sucked back into the ma-

chine.

The drain hose is 1.5 m long. It 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.

Connected to a standpipe.

Connected to a plastic drain pipe

with a rubber nipple. There is no

need to use a non-return valve.

Allow the water to drain off into a

floor drain.

If required, the hose can be extended

to a length of 5 m. The necessary parts

can be purchased from the Miele

Spare Parts department.

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
