supply. If in any doubt, consult a

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

damaged machine.

spare parts. Only when these parts are

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.

Make sure the drain hose is secure, so

that the force of the water flowing out of

the hose does not dislodge it.

Use

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as caravans, aircraft

etc. However it may be suitable for

such usage subject to a risk

assessment of the installation being

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

Otherwise this will result in flooding.

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.

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.

usage are determined by the size of

the load. Load to the maximum

recommended for the programme

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.

FSelect a programme

^ Press the Door button and open the

drum door.

DLoad the drum

^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely

in the drum. To achieve best results it

is advisable to make up mixed loads

consisting of both large and small

items. This improves the washing

effect and helps distribute the load

evenly to keep the machine stable

and reduce the noise level during

spinning.

^ Turn the programme selector to the

required programme.

GSelect a spin speed

To save energy and water try to load

the maximum amount for the

programme selected.

However, be careful not to overload the

machine. Overloading reduces the

wash result and causes more creasing.

EClose the drum door with a gentle

swing.

Make sure that no garments are caught

between the drum door and seal.

^ Press the "Spin" button repeatedly

until the indicator light for the spin

speed you want comes on.

In some programmes the maximum

spin speed is limited. The machine will

not allow a higher spin speed to be

Detergent

All modern detergents produced for

automatic washing machines are

suitable, including liquid, compact

(concentrated), tablets, liquid tablets

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

should be washed using a detergent

specifically designed for washing

woollens.

– 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

Stains and soiling clearly visible.

– The water hardness level.

Check with your local water supplier

if you do not know the water

hardness level in your area.

Silk should be washed using a liquid

detergent specifically designed for

washing woollens. Do not use

biological detergents on silk as the

enzymes may damage the silk!

Instructions for use and recommended

amounts for a full load are given on the

detergent packaging.

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut

down on the use of detergents in

extremely hard water areas. Dispense

according to the amount specified on

the packaging. First add detergent and

then the water softener.

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft

water.

Cleaning and care

Extra cleaning

,^{Disconnect the appliance from}

the mains electricity supply and

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

unpleasant smells. If you have no

reason to wash occasionally at this high

temperature, then run a Cottons 95°C

programme with detergent but no

laundry at regular intervals.

^ Clean the casing with a mild

non-abrasive detergent or soap and

water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

^ Clean the fascia panel with a damp

cloth and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

^ The drum can be cleaned using a

suitable proprietary stainless-steel

cleaning agent.

,^{Do not use solvents, abrasive}

cleaners, glass cleaners or

all-purpose cleaning agents. These

might damage plastic surfaces and

other components because of the

chemicals they contain.

The washing machine must not be

hosed down.

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from

the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,

Part number 98013530, which is

suitable for cleaning surfaces such as

stainless steel, glass, plastic and

chrome without the use of chemicals. It

can be washed 300 times.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

Remove detergent residues regularly.

^ Clean the siphon.

1. Remove the siphon from

compartment §. Wash under

running warm water. Clean the

siphon tube in the same way.

^ 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.

2. Replace the siphon.

Over time, detergent residue can build

up in the water jets in the top of the

detergent drawer housing.

^ Clean the detergent drawer with

warm water.

^ Before replacing the detergent

drawer, use a bottle brush or similar

to clean them out.

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.

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

jto 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.

Installation and connection

,^{The washing machine must not}

be moved without the transit bars in

place.

Store the transit bars 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.

^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.

Then plug the holes as shown with

the caps.

^ Secure the transit bars to the back of

the washing machine. Make sure that

holes b are fitted over retainers a.

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.

Installation and connection

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

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 appliance. A

float switches off the safety valves,

preventing any more water flowing

into the machine and water in the

suds container is pumped away.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Installation and connection

Connection to the water supply

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.

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.

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 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

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.
