To make the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using. – Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. – Use the Automatic and Express programmes for small loads. – When smaller amounts of laundry are washed using the Cottons programme, the automatic load recognition system will reduce the amount of water, time and energy used. This may mean that the time left shown in the display is adjusted during the course of the wash programme. – Using the Cottons 60°C programme instead of the Cottons 95°C programme will give energy savings of between 35% and 45%. This is sufficient for most levels of soiling. For stubborn or old stains, use the Soak extra option. – Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry. – Reduce the amount of detergent for smaller loads. Use the Detergent sub-menu. Choosing the correct Extra option (Short, Soak, Pre-wash) Select: – A wash programme together with the Short extra option for light to normal soiling where there are no obvious marks. – A wash programme without any extra options for normal to heavy soiling with visible staining. – A wash programme together with the Soak extra option for heavily soiled laundry. – The Pre-wash extra option for laundry with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust, sand). 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. 16 How to wash correctly Sort the laundry ,If you use a solvent-based cleaning agent (e.g. one containing benzene) to pre-treat a stain, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) are protected, and that the cleaning agent is rinsed off before washing the garment in the machine. ,Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this machine. ^ Empty all pockets. ,Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine. Removing marks ^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be 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. ^ Sort the laundry by colour and by care 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. – 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. – Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing. – Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them. Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label.

The washing machine has a sensor which measures the amount of laundry placed in the drum. The display shows the percentage of the maximum load which has been placed in the drum. The maximum load will depend on the programme chosen. In addition to the load size percentage, the amount of detergent required is also shown as a % figure. The Detergent sub-menu will appear. Cottons Extras: 60°C 1600 rpm None Load Detergent 75% 75% A The load is shown in the display in 25% steps. Loads of less than 25% or an empty drum are shown as <25%. If the amount of laundry exceeds the maximum load, %100% will flash in the display. Note: %100% will not appear in the display if you have overloaded a Cottons programme. 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. You can open the Detergent sub-menu at any time by pressing short cut button 1. ^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning. Make sure that no garments are caught between the drum door and seal. ^ Shut the door with a gentle swing. 20 How to wash correctly Select the Timer (if required) You can use the timer to set the end time of a programme. The start of a programme can be delayed from 30 minutes up to a maximum of 24 hours, allowing you to make use of night-time economy electricity rates, for example. ^ Press short cut button 2 to open the Timer sub-menu. Cottons Extras: 60°C 1600 rpm None 15:03 Start at: 15:03 Finish: 15:30 ^ Use the multi-function selector to select the programme end time (when the first 30 minute stage is entered, the programme end time will be adjusted to the next full or half hour). Confirm your selection. The start of the programme will now be delayed in parallel with the programme end time you have selected. To start the timer ^ Press the Start button. The delay start time will be shown counting down in minutes. To cancel the timer ^ Press short cut button 4. The actual load size can only be determined accurately by the machine once the programme has started. The programme end time may, therefore, be a bit later or earlier than first indicated. 21 How to wash correctly Add detergent The percentage amounts in the display will help you to add the correct percentage amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. 40% = Add slightly less than half the amount recommended 50% = Add half the amount recommended 60% = Add slightly more than half the amount recommended 75% = Add three quarters of the amount recommended 100% = the full amount of detergent recommended ^ Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergent to the compartments as follows: i Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the total recommended amount as follows: add 1/3 to compartment i and 2/3 to compartment j) You also need to take the level of soiling and water hardness into account. It is important to dispense the correct amount, as . . . j Detergent for the main wash, including Soak if selected . . . too little detergent results in: – Laundry not getting properly clean and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch. – Greasy particles clinging to the 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. – High water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in). – A burden to the environment. 22 § Fabric conditioner or liquid starch ^ Close the detergent drawer. See "Detergent" for further information. How to wash correctly Start the programme ^ Press the flashing Start button. The estimated programme duration and the programme sequence will appear in the display. During the first 10 minutes the machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate. The drum lighting switches off once the programme has started. Once washing is in progress, you can press the following short cut buttons: – Button 2 Timer +: to call up the current time of day and the estimated end time of the programme. – Button 3 Save: to save the current programme as a favourite. – Button 4 Cancel: to cancel the current programme.

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 the chart are based on the basic programme with a full load. Extra options which can be selected have not been taken into account. The display shows the stage the programme has reached. Special features in the programme sequences: Anti-crease: At the end of every programme, with the exception of the Woollens programme, the drum continues to turn at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help prevent creasing. The door can be opened and laundry removed at any time during the anti-crease phase. 1) Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse without detergent is carried out automatically to remove dust. 2) Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is carried out before the wash process begins to deflate the pillows. Subsequent water intake for the main wash is through compartment j. 3) A second rinse is carried out when a temperature of 60°C to 95°C has been selected. A third rinse is carried out when a temperature below 60°C is selected. 4) A third or fourth rinse is carried out if: – there is too much foam in the drum – a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has been selected – Without spin has been selected 5) A third rinse is carried out if: Without spin has been selected 6) In the Outerwear programme, laundry is only spun after the main wash. 31 Garment care label symbols Washing The figure quoted in the bucket is the maximum temperature the garment can be washed at.

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 for smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others, and may not be suitable for programmes with short durations. Do not use biological detergents on silk, as the enzymes may damage the silk. Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the detergent packaging. Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufacturer for programmes without a pre-wash. For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special container from the Miele Spare Parts department which sits in the main wash compartment j of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and to compartment i for the pre-wash.

Possibly slight body odour. Water softener 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. Normally soiled Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains. Miele branded water softening tablets are available from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com. Heavily soiled Stains and soiling clearly visible. Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water. – The water hardness level. Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area. Miele do not recommend connecting the machine to a household water softener. 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 the following order: 1. Detergent 2. Water softener 3. Stain remover This way the agents are distributed more evenly. 36 Detergent Fabric conditioners and 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. Automatic dispensing of fabric conditioner or liquid starch to laundry at the end of a programme 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 viscious liquid starch in the § compartment as it will clog up. See below. Adding fabric conditioner or liquid starch separately ^ Dispense in accordance with manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. ^ Add powder or viscose starch to compartment i. ^ Add the fabric conditioner or liquid starch to compartment §. ^ Select the Starch programme. ^ Select a spin speed or the Rinse hold extra option. ^ Add the fabric conditioner or liquid starch to compartment §. Do not exceed 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 §. ^ Press the Start button. Colour run and dye removers/ dyes ^ Do not use colour run or dye removers in this machine. ^ Dyes suitable for use in domestic washing machines 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. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. 37 Cleaning and care ,Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply and withdraw the plug from the socket before cleaning the machine. ,The washing machine must not be hosed down. A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning agents is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts Department, or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com. External casing and fascia panel Extra cleaning 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 can 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. Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer For hygienic reasons, clean the entire drawer at regular intervals. Clean the casing using a Miele E-Cloth, or with a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap and water using a well wrung-out cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. ^ The drum and any stainless steel outer panels can be cleaned using a suitable stainless-steel cleaning agent following the instructions on the packaging. ,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. 38 ^ 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. ^ Clean the detergent drawer with warm water. Cleaning and care Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing ^ Clean the siphon. 1. Remove the siphon from compartment § and rinse under warm running water. Clean the siphon tube in the same way. 2. Replace the siphon. ^ Use a bottle brush to remove detergent residues and limescale from the jets inside the detergent dispenser drawer housing. If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the siphon and siphon tube regularly. A build-up of starch will cause them to get clogged. 39 Cleaning and care Cleaning the filter in the water inlet The washing machine has a filter to protect the water inlet valve. ^ First turn off the stopcock. ^ Unscrew the threaded union connecting the free end of the inlet hose to the stopcock. The accessible filter in the union in the open end of the inlet hose should be checked every six months, or more often if there are frequent interruptions to the external water supply. ^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the recess. ^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar 2 and remove. ^ Clean the plastic filter. ^ 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 water drips out, tighten the connection. Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning. 40 Problem solving guide With the help of the following notes, minor faults in the performance of the appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put right without contacting the Service Department. ,Repair work to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suitably qualified person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations.

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: ^ The machine must be level and securely positioned. ^ 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. Removing the transit bars 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. 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 spinning using retaining clips (available from the Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise there is a danger of the machine moving about. ^ 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. 51 Installation and connection ^ Using the spanner supplied turn the left-hand transit bar 90°, then ^ Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°, then ^ withdraw the transit bar. ^ withdraw the transit bar. 52 Installation and connection ,To avoid the risk of injury the holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed. ^ Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure that holes b are fitted over retainers a. ,The washing machine must not ^ Fit the covers on to the two holes. Then plug the holes as shown with the caps. be moved without 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. 53 Installation and connection 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. False values may also show in the Load and Detergent display. 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. ^ Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level. ^ 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. ,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. ^ Using the spanner supplied turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew. 54 Installation and connection Washer and Dryer stack The fitting of building-under kits and stacking kits must only be undertaken by qualified and competent persons, in accordance with the instructions supplied with the kit. A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. A "WTV" stacking kit* is necessary. Please note: Building under a continuous worktop/in a kitchen run If you wish to push your machine under a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid, the conversion kit is not necessary. Otherwise the conversion kit is essential. – A special building-under conversion kit* is required. To ensure electrical safety, the washing machine lid must be replaced by the cover plate supplied with the conversion kit. – For installation under a work surface 900/910 mm from the floor, a raising kit* is required. a Safety distance to wall: at least 2 cm – Connections for electricity, water and drainage should be installed in such a way that they remain accessible when the machine is in place. b Height: Stacking kit with pull-out shelf: approx. 169 cm Stacking kit without pull-out shelf: approx. 170 cm Fitting instructions are supplied with the conversion kit. All parts marked* are available from your Dealer, the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com. Replacing the lid If the lid has been removed in order to fit a stacking kit or cover plate, ensure that, if the lid is replaced, it fits securely into the rear holders. Otherwise, it is not properly secure for transport. 55 Installation and connection The Miele Waterproof system The Miele Waterproof system protects the washing machine from water damage. The system consists of three main components: 1) the inlet hose 2) the electronic unit and the washing machine housing 3) the drain hose 1) Inlet hose – The inlet hose is fitted with an additional electrical safety valve which works like an automatic stopcock and is housed in the inlet hose connection box. – It is pressure tested to between 7,000 and 10,000 kPa. – The inlet hose has a protective sleeve. Any leaking water from the inlet hose is fed into the sump through this protective sleeve. A float switches off the safety valve, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away. 56 2) Electronic unit and washing machine housing – Sump Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the machine. A float switches off the safety valves, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away. – 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. 3) Drain hose The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied completely. Installation and connection Connection to the water supply ,The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. The Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it. The machine should be connected to the 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. The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1,000 kPa (1-10 bar). If it is higher than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a pressure reducing 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 Do not get wet. 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 water softener is not recommended. The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked. 57 Installation and connection Maintenance and care If you intend to unscrew the Miele Waterproof system hose from the stopcock it is essential to disconnect the machine from the electricity supply first. Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement. In order to protect the water inlet valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet valve connection must not be removed. Extension hose A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose is available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department as an optional extra. This hose is tested to withstand pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can be used as a flexible extension to the water supply. N.B. Using this hose renders the Waterproof system safety valve on the inlet hose ineffective. 58 Installation and connection Connection to the drainage system Please note: 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. 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 1.8 m) a replacement drain pump will need to be fitted. Please contact the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele Dealer. Drain hose connection: 1. Direct into a sink or basin: Please note the following: – Hook the hose over the edge and secure. a Adapter b Nut c Hose clip d End of the hose ^ Fit adapter a to the sink drain outlet using nut b. ^ Attach the end of the hose d to adapter a. ^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip c up close to the nut. – 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. 2. Connected securely to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no need to use a non-return valve. 3. Connected securely to a standpipe. 4. Connected securely to a floor gully. 59 Installation and connection Electrical connection U.K. Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). 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). Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out. The appliance is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a 230-240V mains supply. Please ensure the connection data quoted on the data plate match the household mains supply. Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation. For extra safety it is advisable to protect the machine with a suitable residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician for advice. Do not connect via an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). 60 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.
