They contain important information about the safety, use and maintenance of the machine. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine. Correct usage Only use the washing machine 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. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation. This appliance should not be operated by children. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm. Technical safety Before setting up the machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install and use a damaged machine. Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity 8 supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the machine and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is regularly tested 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 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 unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liabilty. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved engineer. Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out. The 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is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or – it is switched off at the mains, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn. Warning and safety instructions The Miele "Waterproof 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. 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. If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced by a special Miele cable. In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance 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 appliance guarantee. 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. Do not install your washing machine in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. The reliability of the electronic control system may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point. 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. 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. Otherwise this will result in flooding. Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, needles, coins, paper clips, etc.) do not find their way into the machine with the washing (e.g. in pockets). These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the washing. 9 Warning and safety instructions 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 manufacturer’s instructions given on the packaging. If in doubt, contact the Miele Customer Service Dept. or your Miele Dealer. 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 in this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such detergents also pose a fire and explosion hazard. 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. Always make sure the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous. 10 Accessories Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated. Disposal of your old machine Before discarding an old machine unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person. Washing environmentally and economically – Water consumption and energy usage are determined by the size of the load. Load to the maximum recommended for the programme selected. – Programme durations can vary considerably due to the automatic load adjustment feature. Depending on the amount of laundry, the main wash may be shortened and one rinse omitted. – Use the Mixed Wash programme or the Quick Wash programme for smaller amounts of laundry. – Use the Short wash option for normally or very lightly soiled laundry. – Do not exceed the amounts of detergent which may be recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. – Reduce the amounts of detergent with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half load, approx. one third less detergent). – Select the highest suitable spin speed in the wash programme when tumble drying afterwards. – To save energy wash normally and lightly soiled laundry at lower 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. – A main wash (programme without pre-wash) is sufficient to clean 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. 11 Before using for the first time Water hardness reminder 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 to prevent the risk of water leaks during use. The amount of detergent required will depend on various factors including water hardness. The dial in the detergent dispenser can be set as a water hardness reminder. 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. This also activates the ball valve. The ball valve prevents detergent escaping from the suds container into the sump during a programme, thus making maximum use of the detergent. Proceed as follows: ^ Open the stopcock ^ Do not load any laundry ^ Add max. 1/4 of the amount of detergent you would use for a full load to compartment j ^ Press the I-ON/O-OFF button in ^ Press the Cottons programme touch pad ^ Use the $& touch pads to select a temperature of 60°C Important This temperature is required to prepare the machine for operation. ^ Press the Water plus touch pad The indicator light will come on ^ Use the $& touch pads to set the spin speed selector to Without final spin. ^ Press the START touch pad ^ Any residues in the machine will be flushed out by the end of the programme and your machine is now ready for use. 12 ^ Remove the yellow lever from behind the detergent drawer facia panel. ^ Use it to turn the dial to the position which represents your water hardness level. Your local water authority can advise on water hardness in your area. How to wash correctly Brief guide The headings numbered (A,B,C,...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide. Before washing A Sort the laundry. ^ Sort the washing by colour and by care label symbols. 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. Delicate textiles should be washed separately in a delicates programme (use a washing bag where appropriate). – Curtains: Remove lead weights and strips 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. ^ Empty all pockets. Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to textiles and components in the machine. ^ Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and cuffs, and water soluble stains can be pre-treated with bar soap, liquid detergent or detergent mixed into a solution or paste. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice. – 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 to prevent smaller items rolling up inside them. Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as non-machine washable on the care label. (h symbol) Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this machine. 13 How to wash correctly B Press in the I-ON/0-OFF button. To start a programme The machine is switched on. H Select the basic programme C Press the Door button. D Load the drum. Unfold 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. Overloading reduces the wash result and causes more creasing. Maximum load weights are noted below: ^ Press the required basic programme touch pad (see the programme chart).

K Select a spin speed. ^ Use the _, touch pads until the indicator light for the required final spin speed lights up. In some programmes the maximum spin speed is limited. The machine will not allow a higher spin speed to be selected (see section "programme survey"). Memory function If the last time a programme was run an additional option or different spin speed was selected, the machine will have stored this information in its memory. The next time that programme is selected the machine displays the additional option, temperature and spin already stored in memory. Exception: Soak and Delay start. 15 How to wash correctly Delay start After washing L Select delay start if required. N Press the Door button. The start of a programme can be delayed from 30 minutes up to a maximum of 24^ hours. ^ Press the delay start touch pad. O Remove the laundry. Only remove laundry from the machine once the drum has stopped turning, otherwise you may seriously injure yourself. Make sure the drum is empty. Items left behind could colour run, shrink, or be damaged in the next programme. ^ Use the _ touch pads to set the length of delayed time. Each press on the & touch pad increases the delayed time or on the $ touch pad shortens it: – by 30 minutes up to 10 hours. – by one hour from 10 hours upwards. To delete delay start: Press the delay start touch pad. M Press the START touch pad. This starts the programme. 16 P Check the folds in the door seal for any small articles e.g. buttons which might be lodged there. Q Press and release the I-ON/0-OFF button. R Close the drum door. Otherwise there is a 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. How to wash correctly Load indicator lights The machine can identify the size of the load or its composition from the absorbency of a wash load. This recognition takes place within the first 10 minutes of the programme. The indicator lights show how the load has been identified in the Cottons and Minimum iron programmes. 1 indicator light on = Minimum load 2 indicator lights on = Medium load 3 indicator lights on = Full load ^ Press the Door button in and hold it until the door springs open. ^ Add or remove items. ^ Close the door. The door can be opened during all stages, except the spin, of the Cottons, Woollens, Quick wash, Mixed wash (high percentage of cotton) and Starch programmes. The door can be opened during the main wash of the Minimum iron and Mixed wash (high percentage of polyester) programmes. Exceptions: The door cannot be opened, if: – the suds temperature is above 55°C Adding or removing laundry after a programme has started Laundry can be added or removed after the start of one of the following programmes: – Cottons – Minimum iron – Woollens – the additional option Water plus has been selected – programme locking is switched on. Load recognition is switched off if extra laundry is added or taken out of the drum. The machine will wash as for a full load and the maximum load indicator will light up. – Quick wash – Mixed wash – Starch 17 How to wash correctly Programmes . . . . . cancelling a programme and selecting a different one ^ Switch the machine off and on again. ^ Start the new programme as described in "Programme start". Load recognition is switched off if a programme is re-started. The machine will wash as for a full load and the maximum load indicator will light up. ^ Select the programme ^ Press the START touch pad ^ Press the programme sequence touch pad repeatedly until the required position is reached. For rinsing launcry we recommend using the Delicates programme. . . . skipping a programme stage . . . altering a programme The machine will accept the following changes after a programme has started: – up to 6 minutes after the start, the Water plus and Short additional options can be selected or de-selected and a different temperature can be selected for the programme in use. – the final spin speed can be changed within the limits for the programme. Additional functions cannot be changed if the door has been opened. In order to select another programme the old programme must be cancelled before the new one can be started. . . . repeating a section (e.g. rinse) A programme section can be repeated or a particular section be selected on its own. ^ Switch the machine on 18 ^ Press the programme sequence touch pad when the light comes on next to the section you want to skip. The programme will then continue with the next programme stage. The relevant programme sequence indicator will light up. If programme locking has been activated the programme cannot be changed nor can a programme section be repeated or skipped. Adding 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. 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! Add detergent according to the amount recommended on the packaging. The right amount to dispense will depend on the following: Water Hardness Hardness range Type of Hardness water level in (hardness) mmol / l °dH German I soft 0 - 1.3 0-7 II medium 1.3 - 2.5 7 - 14 III hard 2.5 - 3.8 14 - 21 IV very hard over 3.8 over 21 It is important to dispense the correct amount, because . . . . . . too little has the following results: – Laundry will not be properly clean and will in time become grey and hard to the touch. – Greasy particles cling to the laundry. – Limescale deposits on the heater elements. . . . too much results in the following: – Excessive foam. – The quantity of laundry. – Low level of agitation. – The soiling level of the laundry. – Poor washing, rinsing and spinning results. Lightly soiled No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight body odour. Normally soiled Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains. – High water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in). – Burdening the environment. 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. 19 Adding detergent Adding detergent 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. Dispense detergent as specified for soft water areas. Miele do not recommend connecting the machine to a household water softener. i = Compartment for pre-wash. This compartment is also used for starch formulations when starching separately. If you wash using several components (e.g. special application detergents), we recommend always dispensing the agents into compartment j in the following order: j = Compartment main wash 1. Detergent p = Compartment fabric conditioner 2. Water softener Water is taken in through compartment i in the pre-wash. 3. Stain remover Water is taken in through compartment j in the main wash. If the capacity of compartment j is insufficient for the amount of detergent needed for a COTTONS programme (e.g. in very hard water areas), the machine can be programmed so that water and detergent can also be taken into the main wash through compartment i , see "Programmable functions", "Activating compartment i". This way the agents are distributed more efficiently. Fabric conditioners, texturisers, liquid starch Fabric conditioners make garments soft and fluffy to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying. Texturisers are synthetic starch formulations and give body to items e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen. Starch gives body to items of washing. ^ Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. 20 Adding detergent Automatic fabric conditioners, texturisers, or liquid starch Separate fabric conditioner or texturiser ^ Open the lid of compartment p. ^ Add fabric conditioner or texturiser to the compartment p. ^ Press the Starch touch pad ^ Select a spin speed. ^ Press the START touch pad. Starching separately ^ Measure and prepare starch in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. ^ Add the starch to compartment i. ^ Press the Starch touch pad. ^ Add the fabric conditioner, texturiser or liquid starch. Do not exceed the maximum level mark. ^ Select a spin speed. ^ Press the START touch pad. ^ Close the compartment lid. ^ Push the drawer back in. The conditioner, texturiser or liquid starch is automatically dispensed in the last rinse. At the end of the programme there will be a small amount of water left in the fabric conditioner compartment p. If starching frequently, clean the dispenser compartment and especially the siphon tube and conditioner channel regularly.

In addition it serves as a display for the programmable functions. If a time is selected for soaking, this is added to the prescribed running time for the programme and the total shown in the display. Example: Delay start A period of delay shows in the display. The Cottons 60°C programme is selected: After the appliance has started the delay start time counts down. – The display shows a programme running time of 1 h 58. If a delay start is higher than 10 hours it will count down hourly, from 9 h 59 it will count down in minutes. – A soaking time of one hour is chosen. Once the delay start period is completed the programme begins and the actual programme duration shows in the display. See the section "How to wash correctly (Programme start)". Time left display At the beginning of a programme, the maximum duration of a programme is shown in hours and minutes, where delay start has not been selected. In the Cottons, Minimum Iron and Mixed Wash programmes the type and volume of the wash will be monitored during the first water inlet phase. With a part load the time could be reduced by up to 60 minutes. 32 – The display shows a total running time of 2 h 58. For more detailed information on soaking see the section Additional options Soak. Programmable functions The programmable functions enable the user to introduce further features as required. The programmable functions remain stored in memory until they are cancelled by the user. The following programmable functions can be selected: P1 = Maximum water level The water level for rinsing is automatically raised to the maximum level where rinse results are particularly important. Option 2 Increases the water level in soak, pre-wash, main wash and rinses in the Cottons, Minimum iron, Quick wash, and Mixed wash programmes and is particularly suitable for fabrics that need special care, or where extra attention must be taken in dissolving detergent. This option is already set when the machine is delivered from the factory. Option 3 Effective for the rinses in programmes: An extra rinse cycle is introduced to the Cottons programme, e.g. when rinse results are particularly important. – Cottons Option 4 – Minimum iron Is Option 2 plus Option 3, where this quality of rinse is required. – Quick Wash – Mixed wash P2 = Water plus system The Water plus touch pad offers four options for increasing the water level and/or bringing in an extra rinse cycle. Option 1 Increases the rinse water level in the Cottons, Minimum iron, Quick Wash and Mixed wash programmes, where for example rinse results are particularly important. P4 = Activating the i compartment For the first 10 seconds of the main wash cycle water flows in through compartment i. Compartment j may sometimes not be able to hold the total amount of detergent required: – if the water is very hard (over 3.8 mmol/l, water hardness level IV)) and – if laundry is heavily soiled. Compartment i can be used to flush in the extra detergent for the main wash. 33 Programmable functions P9 = Gentle action For gentle washing of slightly soiled items. Drum action is reduced. Gentle action can be used with the Cottons, Minimum iron, Quick Wash, Mixed wash and Starch programmes. If "Gentle action" has been programmed, every wash cycle in these programmes is carried out with gentle action rhythm. P10 = Top-up rinse for Cottons At the end of the main wash additional water flows into the drum to cool the suds down. Hot suds can damage plastic drainage pipes. Top-up rinse takes place when temperatures of 95°C, 80°C and 70°C are selected. Top-up rinse should be activated: – to prevent the danger of scalding if the drain hose is hooked over the edge of a sink or basin. – where the drainage pipes do not comply with DIN 1986." 34 P11 = Memory function If an additional function is selected for a programme, and/or the spin speed is altered, the machine stores these changes in memory at the start of a programme. The memory function is active when the machine is first delivered, but can be programmed to be switched off. See the following pages for how to programme the programmable functions.

Cleaning and care Cleaning the washing machine Extra cleaning ^ Clean the casing with a mild non-abrasive detergent or soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Carrying out a hot wash (70°C or above) with powder detergent approx. once every six weeks will help prevent deposits building up in the machine. These can occur when washing is mainly done at low temperatures, and lead to unpleasant smells. If you have no reason to wash laundry occasionally at this high temperature, then carry out a 95°C COTTONS programme as a cleaning cycle with powder detergent, but not laundry, at regular intervals. ^ Clean the facia panel and lid with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. ^ The drum can be cleaned using a suitable proprietary stainless steel cleaner. Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaners. These might cause damage to the plastic surfaces 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. 37 Cleaning and care Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer ^ Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer until a resistance is felt. ^ Remove the siphon from compartment p. Wash under running warm water and replace. ^ Press down the red release catch and at the same time pull the drawer right out of the machine. ^ Clean the dispenser compartments and conditioner channel. Regularly remove any detergent residues. 38 Over time, detergent residue can build up in the water jets in the top of the detergent drawer housing. ^ 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 (drain) filter initially after 3-4 washes to ascertain how often it is likely to require cleaning. With normal cleaning approx. 2 litres of water run out. If the drain outlet is clogged, more water will be retained in the machine (up to 25 litres). Caution: If laundry has been washed at a high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot. ^ Open the flap. ^ Place a suitable container under the drain fixture. Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from behind the detergent drawer facia panel, (see illustration above). ^ Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times. Do not take it right out. ^ Open the door. With large volumes of water, when the container is full, screw the fluff filter back into position, and empty the dish before repeating the procedure. 39 Cleaning and care ^ 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 they can cause water to leak. Limescale deposits are often a sign of using too little detergent. ^ Put the fluff filter back in place and secure it. ^ Once the flow of water ceases, remove the fluff filter completely. Make sure the fluff filter is securely tightened. Otherwise there is a risk of water leakage during use. After cleaning ^ Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the detergent dispenser compartment j to reactivate the ball valve which keeps detergent in circulation in the suds. ^ Clean the fluff filter thoroughly. ^ Remove any foreign objects (e.g. buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff. ^ Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it rotates freely. Any foreign objects causing an obstruction should be removed. 40 Cleaning and care 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 rubber seal a from the recess. ^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar, remove the filter b 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 water drips out, tighten the connection. Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning it. 41 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 accordance with local and national safety regulations.

Installation Installation surface Installation 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. Lift the machine from its packaging base and move it to its site. Please note: Please note the following points: ^ Ensure that the machine feet and the floor are dry to prevent the machine from slipping during the spin cycle. ^ The machine must be level and securely positioned. ^ To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings. ^ Do not lift the machine by the drum door. Removing the transit fitting ^ If installing on a wooden joist floor, we recommend a plywood base at least 30 mm thick, 590 x 520 mm wide. The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joists, not only to the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first. The most stable part of the floor is usually in the corner. ,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). A Turn the left-hand transit bar 90°. 51 Installation B Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°. D Plug the two holes with the plastic caps supplied. ,The washing machine must not be moved without the transit bars in place. Store the transit bars 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. C Withdraw the two bars together with the support plate. 52 Installation Levelling the machine The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. ^ Using a screwdriver loosen foot 1 together with counter nut 2 by turning it anti-clockwise, and unscrew to the required height. ^ Put the machine back on all four feet. ^ 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. The four adjustable screw feet are used to level the machine. All four feet are screwed in when the machine is delivered. Unscrewing and adjusting the feet ^ Gently tip the machine and prop it up using a solid wood wedge for example, to ensure stability. ^ Hold foot 1 securely using a pipe wrench and using a screwdriver turn the counternut 2 clockwise until it sits firmly up against the housing. ,All four counternuts must sit 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. ,Make sure the machine does not slip as this could cause injury. 53 Installation Building under: Building under a continous worktop / in a row of kitchen units ^ A special building-under kit* is required. The machine lid has to be replaced by a special cover plate** and to ensure electrical safety it should be fitted by a competent person. ** N.B.: If you wish to push your machine under a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid, the building-under kit is not necessary. Otherwise ^ Fitting instructions are supplied with the building under kit. The slides supplied should be used to protect the floor from damage when the machine is pushed into position or taken out for servicing. Washer - dryer stack A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of this washing machine. To do this the appropriate stacking kit* (WTV) to match your washing machine is required. All items marked * are available to order from your Miele Dealer or from the Miele Spare Parts Dept. ^ If it is being installed under a 900/910 mm high worktop a raising kit* is required. Connections for electricity, water and drainage should be installed in such a way that they are accessible after the machine has been installed. 54 Installation Fitting or changing the decor panel Note: The door should be kept shut for fitting or changing the decor panel. ^ Unscrew 4 screws from the decor strip on the door catch side of the door and take the decor strip off. Decor panel dimensions (The figures given in brackets indicate the tolerance level in mm.) Panel thickness 1 mm to 1.5 mm Width Height Panel thickness 1.6 mm to 4 mm 586 (+1) mm 586 (+1) mm 600 (+1.5) mm 595.0 (+1.5) mm Panels more than 1.5 mm thick require an adapter strip for a 4 mm thick decor panel. This is available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department: ^ Unscrew the remaining 7 screws from the lower and side decor strips until the decor panel bows slightly. It can then be taken off and a new one fitted. Re-assemble in the reverse order and tighten the screws. 55 Installation Fitting a plinth facing Fitting the plinth facing: The appliance plinth below the door can be fitted with a plinth facing to match your kitchen. ^ Stick the velcro strip provided to the appliance plinth. The height and return of the appliance plinth cannot be altered. Higher plinth can only be fitted if the overall niche height is higher. ^ Match up the hooked side and the looped side of the velcro strip lengthwise. ^ Cut it into 2 or 3 sections. Plinth height Niche height 100 mm (standard) 820 mm 150 mm 870 mm one raising kit is required 200 mm 920 mm two raising kits are required A plinth facing (600 mm long) can be ordered from your Kitchen Dealer or manufacturer. For Miele kitchens please quote the model number of your machine when ordering. Before fitting the plinth facing, please note: Under no circumstances must anything be stuck over the flap(s) in the appliance plinth. In order to open the drum door during an emergency the plinth facing must be removable. 56 For this the following procedure is recommended: ^ Peel the protective backing off one side of the lengths of velcro. ^ Position the velcro strips along the appliance plinth, at the left and right hand sides and in the middle and then press firmly into place. ^ Carefully remove the remaining protective foil from the velcro. Press the plinth facing onto the adhesive surface of the velcro strips and press firmly into position. Installation Connection to water supply Fitting The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with standard regulations. In Germany the washing machine is not required to have a non-return valve as it has been designed to comply with the relevant German DIN standard. The machine is designed to operate with a minimum water pressure of 1 bar. There is a minimum flow pressure of 1 bar if 5 litres of water flow into a suitable container in 15 seconds. The static water pressure must not exceed 10 bar. If it is higher than 10 bar it is essential to fit a reducer valve. The Miele Waterproof-System connected between the stopcock and the machine offers the safest protection against water leaks. For the Waterproof system to function correctly, it may only be fitted in the positions shown (see illustrations). Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock with 3/4'' thread. The stopcock should be fitted by a qualified plumber. 57 Installation 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 "Waterproof system" is NOT suitable for connection to a hot water supply. Protection in the event of a leaking machine. Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the appliance. A float switch switches the safety valve off electrically. No more water will flow in. Protection in the event of a leaking water inlet hose Leaking water is fed into the sump through the protective covering which surrounds the inlet hose as a "second skin". The float switch turns off the water supply. Maintenance The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged (see illustration). A "Waterproof system" with a hose length of approx. 4.5 metres is available as an optional extra from your Miele dealer or the Spare Parts Department. Function At the heart of this leak protection system there is an electric safety valve, which works like an automatic stopcock. The Miele "Waterproof system" protects from water damage in the following cases: 58 N.B. If you need to unscrew the "Waterproof system" unit from the mains water supply it is essential that the machine is first disconnected from the electricity supply. Only use a genuine Miele "Waterproof system" able to withstand pressure of up to 70 bar, should you ever need a replacement. To protect the filters in the water inlet valves the dirt filter in the "Waterproof system" connection must not be removed. Installation The "Waterproof system" must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be connected to mixer taps or similar. Important! The plastic casing of the water connection contains an electric component. Do not dip into any liquid! 59 Installation Connection to the drainage system Drain hose connection: The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre. Please note the following The drain hose is 1.5 m long. It must not be kinked as this restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at the end of the hose can be turned in either direction, or can be detached if required, with a sharp twist and pull. 1. Direct into a sink or basin: – 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. 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. 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 conversion kit from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer. 60 Installation Electrical connection U.K. All electrical work should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance while installation work is being carried out. The appliance is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug for connection to a 230-240V mains supply. The voltage, rated load and fuse rating are given on the data plate. Please ensure these match the household mains supply. Connection should be made via a fused plug and suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation. For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA (in accordance with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100, section 739). Do not connect via an extension lead. Electrical connection U.K. Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 If this machine is fitted with a non-rewireable plug and the socket outlets are not suitable for the plug supplied or if the existing plug needs to be replaced by a new one, the old plug will need to be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. The fuse carrier and the fuse should be removed from the old plug and disposed of. The plug cut from the cable should then be disposed of and on no account be inserted into any socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard). 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). Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier or Service agent. 61 Installation Important The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green/yellow = earth Blue = neutral Brown = live If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance do not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows: ^ The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol z or coloured green, or green and yellow. ^ The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. ^ The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
