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.

Energy saving tips

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.

If smaller loads are washed using the

Cottons programmes, the automatic

load recognition system will reduce

the amount of water, time and energy

used.

Use the Quick wash programme for

small loads.

Detergent

Do not exceed the amounts of

detergent recommended by the

manufacturer on the packaging.

Reduce the amount of detergent for

smaller loads.

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.

Do not install or use a damaged machine.

~ The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteedwhen continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing

system which complies with 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 on-site 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).

~ Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for theuser, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele approved service technician. If this is not

done, any resultant damage will not be covered by the guarantee.

Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after

maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

~ Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised todo so by Miele.

~ In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine isonly 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 isolator switch, or

it is switched off at the mains, or

the mains fuse has been withdrawn, or the screw-out fuse is

removed (in countries where this is applicable).


8

~ This machine must only be connected to the on-site water supplyusing a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used. Check the

hose regularly for signs of wear. Change in good time to avoid the

risk of leaks and subsequent damage.

~ Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Mieleoriginal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety

standards of the machine be guaranteed.

~ Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by anextension lead or a multi-socket unit. These do not guarantee the

required safety of the machine (e.g. danger or overheating).

~ The appliance may only be operated when the followingconditions are met:

the list of the vessel is not more than 2.

any external vibration is no more than 150 Hz at an amplitude of

0.35 mm.

10

Correct use

~ The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 6.5 kg. Seethe "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in

individual programmes.

~ Do not install your machine in rooms where temperatures belowfreezing 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 machine for the first time, check that the transitbars 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 oftime (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.


11

~ If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machineshould 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 your Miele Dealer or the

~ Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaningagents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being

washed in the machine.

~ Never use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containingbenzine, 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.

~ Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must notbe stored or used near the machine. Fire and explosion risk!

~ Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable foruse in a washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer's

instructions carefully.

sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on

stainless steel.

Aggressive vapours containing chlorine bleach can also be

corrosive. Do not store open containers of these agents near the

machine.

~ Do not use a high pressure cleaner or hose to clean the machine.

~ It is particularly important to observe the manufacturer'sinstructions when using a combination of cleaning agents and

special application products. Products must only be used for

applications approved by the manufacturer to avoid any material

damage or the occurrence of strong chemical reactions

1. Sort the laundry

^ Empty all pockets.

,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause

damage to textiles and to

components in the machine.

Removing marks

^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. shouldbe 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-basedcleaning agents in this machine.

Sorting laundry

^ Sort the laundry by colour and bycare 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.

Notes and tips on laundry care

17

General tips

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, pillow cases

etc. to prevent small items from

being rolled up inside them.

Further tips can be found under

"Programme chart".

Do not wash any items in this machine

which are specified by the

manufacturer as not washable on the

care label (h symbol).

2. Load the drum

^ Switch the machine on with the On/Off button .

The interior drum lighting will come

on.

^ Press the Door button and open thedrum door.

^ Unfold the laundry and load looselyinto 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.

^ Shut the door with a gentle swing.

,Make sure that no items arecaught between the door and the

drum.

3. Select a programme

^ Select the most appropriateprogramme for the load being

washed (see "Programme chart").

Payment system

If your machine is connected to a

payment system, the amount of

payment required will appear in the

display.

Credit will be lost if, after the

programme has started, the door is

opened or the programme

cancelled.

Short instructions

21

Add detergent

Take the level of soiling and water

hardness into account when

determining the amount of detergent to

dispense.

Too little detergent results in:

Laundry not getting properly clean,

and with time maybe becoming grey

and hard to the touch.

Greasy particles clinging to 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.

A burden to the environment.

See "Detergent" for further information.

^ Pull out the detergent drawer andadd detergent to the compartments

as follows:

i = Detergent for the pre-wash(1/4 of the total amount

recommended).

j = Detergent for the main wash

= Fabric conditioner or liquidstarch

^ Close the detergent drawer.

The compartment is not usedduring Disinfection programmes. Do

not put anything in it.

This machine can be connected to

an external dispensing system for

dispensing liquid agents (see

"Detergent - External dispensing

system").

Short instructions

22

Start the programme

The Start button will flash as soon as a

programme can be started.


The Start button will now light up.

The drum lighting switches off once the

programme has started.

If delay start has not been selected, the

estimated programme duration will

appear in the display. This will count

down in one minute steps. During the

first 10 minutes the machine measures

how much water is being absorbed by

the laundry. The programme duration

may be shorter depending on this

absorbency rate.

The programme sequence is also

shown in the display. The machine lets

you know which section of the

programme has been reached.

Unload the drum

If the laundry is not removed immedi-

ately the programme has finished, the

anti-crease phase will begin and the

drum will turn at intervals to help

prevent creasing.

The machine will switch off

automatically 15 minutes after the

end of the anti-crease phase. You will

need to press the button to switch

it back on again.

^ Press the Door button to open thedrum door.

^ 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 forany small articles, e.g. buttons, which

might be lodged there.

^ Turn the programme selector toFinish.

^ Close the drum door. Otherwise thereis 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.

^ Switch the machine off with the button.

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

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.

The door can be opened and items

removed at any time during the

anti-crease phase. Exception:

Anti-crease does not operate on the

Woollens programme.

1)Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse without

removed after the start of a programme,

the machine will always complete the

programme cycle assuming a full load

which can lead to an increase in the

programme duration shown in the

display.

The door cannot be opened if:

the suds temperature is above 50C.

the water is above a certain level.

the programme has reached the

Final spin stage.

You will not be able to change or

cancel the programme or open the

35

All modern detergents produced for

automatic washing machines are

suitable, including liquid, compact

(concentrated), 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. Some

tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as

others and may not be suitable for

programmes with short durations.

Woollens and knitwear containing wool

mixtures and hand-washable garments

should be washed using a detergent

specifically designed for washing

woollens.

Instructions for use and recommended

amounts for a full load are given on the

detergent packaging.

Liquid detergent should be dispensed

using a ball provided by the

manufacturer for programmes without a

pre-wash.

The right amount to dispense will

depend on the following:

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 hardness level in your area.

The quantity of the laundry (add the

recommended amount of detergent).

Detergent

36

Water softeners

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.

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 thefollowing order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softeners

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed

more evenly.

Detergent

37

Fabric conditioner or liquid

starch

Fabric conditioners make garments soft

to handle and help prevent static cling

when tumble drying.

Starch stiffens and gives body to items

of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and

bed linen.

^ Dispense according to the amountspecified on the packaging.

Automatic dispensing of fabric

conditioner or liquid starch to

laundry at the end of a programme

^ Add the fabric conditioner or liquidstarch to compartment . Do notexceed the maximum level mark.

It will be automatically dispensed in the

last rinse. At the end of the programme

a small amount of water remains in the

fabric conditioner compartment .

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 clogup. See below.

Adding fabric conditioner or liquid

starch separately

^ Add fabric conditioner or liquidstarch to compartment .

^ Select the Separate rinse programme.


Adding starch separately

^ Prepare the starch solution inaccordance with manufacturer's

instructions on the packaging.

^ Add the starch to compartment j.

^ Select the Starch programme.


Colour run and dye removers/

dyes

^ Do not use colour run or dyeremovers in this machine.

^ Dyes suitable for use in a washingmachine 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.

Always observe the manufacturer's

instructions carefully.

External dispensing system

This washer-extractor is suitable for connecting to an external dispensing

system. A conversion kit is required for the washer-extractor to be operated

using an external dispensing system. This must be fitted by a Miele approved

An unsatisfactory wash result


Liquid detergent

does not give the

required result.

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.

Pour stain removers into

compartment j of thedispenser drawer and liquid

detergent into a dispenser ball.

Never put stain removers and

liquid detergent together in the

dispenser drawer.

Grey, greasy

particles cling to

washed laundry.

Insufficient amounts of

detergent were used

to break down the

particles of grease in

heavily soiled laundry.

Use more detergent.

Before washing the next load run

a Cottons 60C programme with

powder detergent but without a

load.

White residues

which look like

powder detergent

are seen on dark

textiles after

washing.

The detergent

contained compounds

(zeolites) to aid water

softening which are

not soluble in water.

They have ended up

on the laundry.

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.

Textiles have

particularly

greasy soiling.

Select a programme with pre-wash. Use a liquid

detergent for the pre-wash and a powder detergent for

the main wash.

The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in the

main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing. Consult

detergent producers for advice.

filter housing. Turn the impeller by

hand to check that it rotates freely.

^ Put the drain filter back in place andsecure.

,Make sure the drain filter issecurely tightened. Otherwise there

is a risk of water leakage during use.

To avoid loss of detergent, pour

approx. 2 litres of water into the

detergent dispenser drawer after

cleaning the drain filter. Excess water

will be pumped out automatically

before the next wash programme.

Opening the drum door

54

Installing the machine

^ Remove the packaging and positionthe machine where you want to use it.

,Ensure the machine is stableduring transportation.

This washer-extractor is not suitable

for building under.

The machine must be permanently

connected to the electricity supply

so that the door can be opened. For

this reason, it must not be

connected to devices such as timers

which would switch it off

automatically.

Please place the sticker supplied, with

the following text, near your machine.

"The machine must be permanently

connected to the electricity supply so

that the door can be opened. Do not

open by force."

,Do not install the machine nearor directly above an open gully or

floor drain. Moisture from these can

penetrate the machine and damage

electrical components.


55

Installation surface

,Ensure that the machine feet andthe floor are dry to prevent the

machine from slipping during the

spin cycle.

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.

^ The machine must be level andsecurely 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 a plywood base (atleast 70 x 60 x 3 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 first.

^ If possible, install the machine in acorner, as this is usually the most

stable part of the floor.

Removing the transit bars

^ These must be removed before themachine is used for the first time.

^ 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.

^ Using the notched end of thespanner supplied, turn the left-hand

transit bar 90, then


56

^ withdraw the transit bar.

^ Turn the right-hand transit bar 90,then

^ withdraw the transit bar.

,To avoid the risk of injury theholes for the transit bars must be

covered after they have been

removed.

^ Fit the covers onto the two holes.Then plug the holes as shown with

the caps.


57

^ Secure the transit bars to the back ofthe machine. Make sure that holes b

are fitted over retainers a.

,The machine must not be movedwithout the transit bars in place.

Store them 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.

Levelling the machine

The machine must stand perfectly level

on all four feet to ensure safe and

proper operation.

Incorrect installation may increase

electricity and water consumption and

may cause the machine to move about.

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, turncounter nut 2 in a clockwise

direction. Then turn counter nut 2

together with foot 1 to unscrew.


58

^ Use a spirit level to check themachine is standing level.

^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipewrench. Turn counter nut 2 again

using the spanner supplied until it

sits firmly up against the housing.

,All four counter nuts must sitfirmly 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.

Securing the machine to prevent it

slipping

^ Secure the front feet of the machinewith the clamps supplied.

^ Follow the fitting instructionssupplied.


59

Washer-dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked

on top of this washer-extractor. A "WTV"

stacking kit (optional accessory) is

required for this.

The stacking kit must be fitted by a

Miele authorised service technician.

Replacing the lid

If the lid to the washer-extractor has

been removed to stack it with a tumble

dryer, this must be replaced securely

when the washer-dryer stack is

dismantled.

Installation on a raised plinth

The washer-extractor can be installed

on a steel plinth (open or closed,

available as an optional Miele

accessory) or on a concrete plinth.

,If the machine is installed on aplinth, it must be secured using the

clamps supplied with the machine.

Otherwise there is the danger of the

machine moving and falling off the

plinth during spinning.

Payment system

This washer-extractor can be fitted with

a payment system (optional accessory).

This must be connnected and

programmed by a Miele service

technician.

Coins / tokens must be removed

from the coin box regularly,

otherwise it will become blocked.


60

Plumbing

The machine must be connected to the

water supply in strict accordance with

current local and national water

authority regulations.

UK only:

This machine is a WRAS approved

product. To comply with WRAS

requirements, this machine must be

connected to the potable water

supply via the non-return valves

supplied with it.

The machine is designed to operate

with a flow pressure of between 1 and

10 bar (100 kPa and 1,000 kPa). At

higher water pressures it is essential to

fit a reducer valve.

Connection to the water supply should

be carried out by a qualified plumber

and should incorporate a stopcock with

a 3/4" thread. The stopcock should be

fitted by a qualified plumber.

The machine is supplied as standard

with two hoses, for connection to a cold

or a hot and cold water supply.

Connection to the cold water supply

The cold water inlet hose (blue

stripes) must be connected to the

on-site cold water supply via a 3/4"

threaded union. It is not suitable for

connection to a hot water supply.

,The connection point is subjectto mains water pressure. Turn on the

stopcock slowly and check for leaks.

Correct the position of the washer

and union if appropriate.

Maintenance and care

Only use a genuine Miele hose should

you ever need a replacement. Miele

hoses are tested to withstand pressure

of at least 70 bar (7,000 kPa).

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.


61

Connection to the hot water supply

To keep electricity consumption costs

down this machine can be connected

to a (ring) piped hot water supply.

The maximum temperature must not

exceed 70C.

It is not economical to run it from an

individual hot water supply if it is not in

continuous use, as the water in the

supply pipes cools down and more

energy would be required to reheat the

water.

For hot water connection the same

conditions apply as for cold water

connection.

The inlet hose with the red stripes (hot

water hose) is connected to the

stopcock.

For operational reasons the machine

must not be connected to hot water

only.

If the machine is not connected to a hot

water supply, the water settings for the

main wash, pre-wash and rinses must

be re-programmed and the hot water

inlet hose must be detached:

^ Go to the Settings menu/Supervisorlevel and select the cold option for

each of the above.

The programme durations may be

longer.

^ Unscrew the inlet hose (hot water -red stripes)

^ Plug the inlet connection with the capsupplied.


62

Water drainage

Dump valve version

A motorised dump valve is used to

drain the machine. A DN 70 angle

connector can be used for draining the

machine via an on-site gully (with odour

trap). N.B. If not supplied with the

machine, an angle connector is

available to order from Miele.

Machines with a drain pump

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.

Drain hose connection:

1. Connected securely to a plastic

drain pipe with a rubber nipple.

There is no need to use a non-return

valve.

2. Connected securely to a standpipe.

3. Connected securely to a floor gully.

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 1.6 m) a second

duo-drain pump is available with the

corresponding kit from the Miele Spare

Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.


63

Electrical connection

,All electrical work must becarried out by a suitably qualified

and competent person in

accordance with current local and

national safety regulations (BS 7671

in the UK).

The machine must only be operated

with the voltage, frequency and fuse

rating shown on the data plate supplied

with the machine. Please ensure these

match the site mains supply.

We recommend connecting the

machine to the power supply via a

suitable plug and socket which must be

easily accessible for servicing and

maintenance work after the machine

has been installed.

For hard-wired machines, connection

should be made via a suitable mains

switch with all-pole isolation which

when in the off position ensures a 3 mm

gap between all open contacts.

For extra safety and protection we
