Operating instructions

for Washing machine

W 3985 WPS

To avoid the risk of accidents or

damage to the machine it is

essential to read these instructions

before it is installed and used for the

first time. M.-Nr. 07 590 080

en-GB

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and can normally 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!

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please ensure they are

offered for recycling.

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.

It should be unplugged or disconnected

from the mains electricity supply by a

competent person.

This washing machine conforms to

current safety requirements.

Inappropriate use can, however,

lead to personal injury and damage

to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the washing machine,

please read these instructions

carefully before using it for the first

time. They contain important

information on its installation, safety,

use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe

place and ensure that new users are

familiar with the content. Pass them

on to any future owner.

Correct application

~This washing machine is for

domestic use only and can only be

used to wash items which are specified

by the manufacturer to be

machine-washable on the wash care

label, and textiles 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

dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable

for damage resulting from incorrect or

improper use or operation.

~This washing machine is not

intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack

of experience and knowledge, unless

they are supervised whilst using it or

have been shown how to use it by a

person responsible for their safety.

Safety with children

~Keep children away from the

washing machine at all times. It is not a

toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not

allow children to play on or near it or to

play with its controls. Supervise

children whilst you are using it.

~Older children may only use the

washing machine if its operation has

been clearly explained to them and

they are able to use it safely,

recognising the dangers of misuse.

~For machines with a 'porthole' door,

remember that the porthole glass will

be hot when washing at very high

temperatures.

Do not let children touch it.

Warning and Safety instructions

6

Technical safety

~Before setting up the washing

machine, check it for any externally

visible damage.

Do not install or use a damaged

washing machine.

~Before connecting the washing

machine, ensure that the connection

data on the data plate (voltage and

connected load) match the mains

electricity supply. If in any doubt,

consult a qualified electrician.

~The electrical safety of this washing

machine can only be guaranteed when

continuity is complete between it and

an effective earthing system which

complies with current 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 household

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).

~Do not connect the washing

machine 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).

~Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original

spare parts. Only when these parts are

fitted can the safety standards of the

machine be guaranteed.

~Unauthorised repairs could result in

unforeseen dangers for the user, for

which Miele cannot accept liability.

Repairs should only be undertaken by a

Miele approved service technician.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

machine until after maintenance or

repair work has been carried out.

~If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protect

the user from danger.

~In the event of a fault or for cleaning

purposes, the washing machine is only

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 mains, or

– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the

screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

~The Miele "Water protection system"

protects from water damage provided

the following conditions have been met:

–the machine is correctly plumbed in

and connected to the electricity

supply.

–if a fault has been identified, the

machine must be examined by a

competent person before further use,

and repaired if necessary.

~In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by

cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

machine and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any

damage which may be caused by

cockroaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the machine guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

7

~This washing machine may only be

used in mobile installations such as

ships if a risk assessment of the

installation has been carried out by a

suitably qualified engineer.

~Do not make any alterations to the

washing machine, unless authorised to

do so by Miele.

Correct use

~Do not install your washing machine

in rooms where temperatures below

freezing 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 washing machine

for the first time, check that the transit

bars 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 of time (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.

~If the correct amount of detergent is

dispensed, the machine should 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 the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet on

www.miele-shop.com.

Warning and Safety instructions

8

~Textiles which have been

pre-treated in solvent based cleaning

agents must be thoroughly rinsed in

clean water before being washed in the

machine.

~Never use solvent based cleaning

agents, e.g. those containing benzene,

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.

~Never use solvent based cleaning

agents, e.g. those containing benzene,

to clean the outside surfaces of this

machine. They can cause damage to

plastic surfaces.

~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.

~If liquid detergent comes into

contact with the eyes, rinse them

thoroughly with lukewarm water imme-

diately. If swallowed, seek medical

assistance immediately and retain the

packaging or label for reference. Those

with skin problems or sensitive skin

should avoid their skin coming into

contact with liquid detergent.

~Only remove laundry from the

washing machine once the drum has

stopped turning. Reaching into a

moving drum is extremely dangerous

and could result in injury.

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.

Miele cannot be held liable for

damage caused by non-compliance

with these Warning and Safety

instructions.

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.

–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.

Detergent

–Do not exceed the amounts of

detergent recommended by the

manufacturer on the packaging.

–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.

Washing environmentally and economically

16

Sort the laundry

^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.

,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.

^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. (hsymbol)

Load the drum

^Press the /button to open the drum door.

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.

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%.Ifthe

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.

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

You also need to take the level of

soiling and water hardness into

account.

It is important to dispense the correct

amount, as...

. . . 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.

^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 1/3to compartment i

and 2/3to compartment j)

j

Detergent for the main wash,

including Soak if selected

§

Fabric conditioner or liquid starch

^Close the detergent drawer.

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 2Timer +: to call up the

current time of day and the estimated

Programme sequence

30

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

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.

The correct detergent

All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. 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 jof the detergent dispenser drawer.

Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and to compartment ifor the pre-wash.

35

The right amount to dispense will

depend on the following:

–The quantity of the laundry

–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.

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.

Miele branded water softening tablets

are available from the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet on

www.miele-shop.com.

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft

water.

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 jin the

following order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softener

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed

more evenly.

Detergent

36

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

^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 §.

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

^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

,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

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.

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.

^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

38

^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.

If starching frequently, thoroughly

clean the siphon and siphon tube

regularly. A build-up of starch will

cause them to get clogged.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer housing

^Use a bottle brush to remove

detergent residues and limescale

from the jets inside the detergent

dispenser drawer housing.

Cleaning and care

39

Cleaning the filter in the water

inlet

The washing machine has a filter to

protect the water inlet valve.

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.

^First turn off the stopcock.

^Unscrew the threaded union

connecting the free end of the inlet

hose to the stopcock.

^Remove the rubber seal 1from the

recess.

^Using pointed pliers, take hold of the

plastic filter bar 2and 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.

Installation surface

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.

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.

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.

Installing the washing machine

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.

,Ensure that the machine feet and

the floor are dry to prevent the

machine from slipping during the

spin cycle.

Removing the transit bars

^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

51

^Using the spanner supplied turn the

left-hand transit bar 90°, then

^withdraw the transit bar.

^Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,

then

^withdraw the transit bar.

Installation and connection

52

,To avoid the risk of injury the

holes for the transit bars must be

covered after the transit bars have

been removed.

^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 bare fitted over retainers a.

,The washing machine must not

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.

Installation and connection

53

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.

^Using the spanner supplied turn

counter nut 2in a clockwise

direction. Then turn counter nut 2

together with foot 1to unscrew.

^Use a spirit level to check the

machine is standing level.

^Hold foot 1securely with a pipe

wrench. Turn counter nut 2again

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.

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.

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.

–Connections for electricity, water and

drainage should be installed in such

a way that they remain accessible

when the machine is in place.

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.

Washer and Dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked

with the washing machine. A "WTV"

stacking kit* is necessary.

Please note:

aSafety distance to wall:

at least 2 cm

bHeight:

Stacking kit with pull-out shelf:

approx. 169 cm

Stacking kit without pull-out shelf:

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.

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

56

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.

Do not get wet.

The protective sleeve of the hose

must not be damaged or kinked.

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

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.

Installation and connection

57

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.

Installation and connection

58

Connection to the drainage

system

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.

–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.

Please note:
