Guide to the machine

Read the operating instructions be-
fore using this machine for the first
time. They contain important infor-
mation about the safety, use and
maintenance of the machine. This
way you will avoid the risk of acci-
dents 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-wash-
able on the wash-care label, and tex-
tiles composed of hand-washable wool
or wool blend fabrics as well as satin,
lace, silk and other hand-washable gar-
ments.
Any other applications may be danger-
ous. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper use or
operation.
This appliance should not be oper-
ated 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 dam-
aged machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-
quency) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-
fied electrician.
The electrical safety of this appli-
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ma-
chine and an effective earthing system
which complies with local and national
regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is regularly
tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-
tric 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 un-
foreseen dangers for the user, for which
the manufacturer cannot accept re-
sponsibility. Repairs should only be un-
dertaken 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and the plug is withdrawn, or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–the mains fuse is withdrawn.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
8

The Miele "Waterproof system" pro-
tects from water damage provided
the following conditions have been met:
–the machine is correctly plumbed in
and connected to the electricity sup-
ply.
–if a fault has been identified, the ma-
chine must be examined by a com-
petent person before further use,
and repaired if necessary.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the ma-
chine 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 appli-
ance 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 assess-
ment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Do not install your washing ma-
chine in rooms where temperatures
below freezing may occur. Frozen
hoses may burst under pressure. The
reliability of the electronic control sys-
tem may be impaired at temperatures
below freezing point.
Before using the machine for the
first time, check that the transit fit-
ting 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 furni-
ture or appliances.
Turn off the stopcock if the ma-
chine 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. Other-
wise this will result in flooding.
Take care to ensure that foreign ob-
jects (e.g. nails, needles, coins,
paper clips, etc.) do not find their way
into the machine with the washing (e.g.
in pockets). Foreign objects can dam-
age components of the machine, which
in turn can result in damage to the
washing.
Warning and safety instructions
9

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. Consult the Miele Cus-
tomer Service Department if necessary.
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 deter-
gents also pose a fire and explosion
hazard.
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a washing machine. Always ob-
serve the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
Colour run and dye removers may
contain sulphur compounds which
cause damage such as corrosion. Do
not use these products in this machine.
Always make sure the drum is sta-
tionary before reaching in to re-
move laundry. Reaching into a moving
drum is extremely dangerous.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee, per-
formance 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 ap-
pliance to prevent misuse.

–Water consumption and energy us-
age are determined by the size of the
load. Load to the maximum recom-
mended for the programme selected.
–The washing times can vary consid-
erably due to the automatic load ad-
justment feature. Depending on the
amount of the load, the main wash
may be shortened and one rinse
omitted.
–Use the Mixed Wash poly/cottons
programme or the Quick Wash
programme for smaller amounts of
laundry.
– To save energy wash normally and
lightly soiled laundry at lower tem-
peratures. 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 nor-
mally soiled laundry.
–By using the additional option "Soak"
for heavily soiled laundry you can se-
lect a lower temperature in the main
wash.
–Use the additional option "Soak" in-
stead of "Pre-wash" with heavily
soiled laundry.
If "Soak" is followed immediately by a
main wash the same suds are used.
–Use the "Short" wash option for nor-
mally or very lightly soiled laundry.
–Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent 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 deter-
gent).
–Select the highest suitable spin
speed in the wash programme when
tumble drying afterwards.
Washing environmentally and economically
11

Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly in-
stalled and connected. See the rele-
vant section under "Installation".
Also check that the fluff filter is se-
curely tightened. Otherwise there is
a risk of water leakage during use.
Flushing out the machine
Any residual lubricants and water from
testing still in the machine should be
flushed out as follows:
^Turn on the stopcock.
^Do not load any laundry.
^Add detergent to compartment j,
however only add max.1/4of the
amount recommended on the pack-
aging for a full load.
^Press the "I-ON/0-OFF" button in.
^Turn the programme selector to
"COTTONS 60°C".
Important!
This programme must be selected in or-
der to prepare the machine for spinning
and to activate the ball valve.
^Press the "Water plus" button in. The
indicator light next to it will come on.
^Press the "Spin" button repeatedly un-
til the "Without final spin" indicator
light comes on.
^Press the "START" button.
^When this programme has finished
your washing machine is ready for
using for the first time.
Water hardness reminder dial
Several factors including the water
hardness level in your area will affect
how much detergent you should use.
The small dial in the detergent dis-
penser drawer can be set purely as a
reminder of the hardness level.
^Remove the yellow spatula from in-
side the dispenser drawer.
^Adjust the dial to the appropriate set-
ting (1 = soft, 4 = very hard).

Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause dam-
age to textiles and components in
the machine.
Most garments have a textile care label
in the collar or side seam. Sort the
washing by care label symbols. (See
"Programmes - Care symbols" for their
explanation).
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately sev-
eral times before being included in a
mixed load.
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-
arately in a delicates programme (use a
washing bag where appropriate).
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the manufac-
turer as non-machine washable on the
care label. (hsymbol)
Pre-treat the laundry
Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and
cuffs, and water soluble stains can be
pre-treated with bar soap, liquid deter-
gent or detergent mixed into a solution
or paste.
With particularly stubborn stains ask
your dry cleaner for advice. Do not
used solvent-based cleaning agents in
this machine.
– 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.
–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.

BPress the "Door" button.
CLoad the drum.
Unfold washing and load loosely in the
drum. To achieve best results it is ad-
visable to make up mixed loads con-
sisting 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.

All modern detergents produced for au-
tomatic washing machines are suitable,
including liquid, compact (concen-
trated), tablets and special application
detergents. Use dispensing aids, e.g.
balls, if these are supplied with the de-
tergent.
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 biologi-
cal detergents on silk as the enzymes
will damage the silk!
Add detergent according to the amount
recommended on the packaging. The
right amount to dispense will depend
on the following:
– The quantity of 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 water hard-
ness level.

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.
– Lime deposits on the heater ele-
ments.
. . . too much results in the following:
– Excessive foam.
–Low level of agitation.
–Poor washing, rinsing and spinning
results.
–High water consumption (an addi-
tional rinse cycle will automatically
switch in).
–Burdening the environment.

Adding detergent
i= Compartment soak/pre-wash
j= Compartment main wash
p= Compartment fabric conditioner
Water is taken in through compartment
iin the pre-wash.
Water is taken in through compartment
jin the main wash. If the capacity of
compartment jis 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 deter-
gent can also be taken into the main
wash through compartment i, see
"Programmable functions", "Activating
compartment i".
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in water
hardness ranges II-IV. Dispense ac-
cording to the amount specified on the
packaging. First add detergent and
then the water softener.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment jin the fol-
lowing order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain salts
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 formula-
tions 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.

Top-up rinse (programmable):
At the end of the main wash additional water flows into the drum, and the suds are cooled slightly. Hot
water might damage plastic drain pipes.
Graduated rinsing:
The suds are cooled at the end of the wash cycle by water flowing in and being pumped away at inter-
vals thereby minimising crease formation.
Rinse and interim spin:
There is a spin between the rinses.
Final spin:
The maximum spin speed according to the programme can be selected with the Spin button. In the
programmes MINIMUM IRON, DELICATES, WOOLLENS, Separate rinse and MIXED WASH the spin
speed is automatically limited to the above stated maximum spin speed.
Anti-crease, and loosen:
The anti-crease action guards against the tendency for creases to set in when fabrics have been left in
the drum for a long time. There is drum movement twice a minute.

compartment
For the first 10 seconds of the main
wash cycle, water flows in through
compartment i.
Compartment jmay sometimes not
be able to hold the total amount of de-
tergent required:
–when the water is very hard (over
3.8 mmol/l, water hardness level IV)
and
–the washing is heavily soiled.
In this case compartment ican be
used to flush in the extra detergent for
the main wash.

P9 = Gentle action
For gentle washing of slightly soiled
items. Drum action is reduced.
Gentle action can be used with the Cot-
tons, Minimum iron, Quick Wash, Mixed
wash and Starch programmes.
If "Gentle action" has been pro-
grammed, 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 addi-
tional water flows into the drum and
the suds are cooled down.
Hot suds can damage plastic drainage
pipes.
Top-up rinse takes place when temper-
atures of 95°C and 75°C are selected.
P11 = Memory function
If an additional option 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.

Cleaning the washing machine
^Clean the casing with a mild non-
abrasive detergent or soap and wa-
ter. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
^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 abrasive cleaners, glass
cleaners or all-purpose cleaners.
These might cause damage to the
plastic surfaces because of the
chemicals they contain.
E-cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
Part Number 98013530, which is suit-
able for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals.
Extra cleaning
Carrying out a hot wash (70°C or
above) with powder detergent approx.
once every six weeks will help to en-
sure that no deposits build up in the
machine. These can occur when wash-
ing is mainly done at low temperatures,
and also lead to unpleasant smells. If
you have no reason to wash laundry oc-
casionally at this high temperature, then
carry out a 95°C Cottons programme as
a cleaning cycle with powder detergent
and no washing, at regular intervals.
Cleaning and care
37

Cleaning the detergent
dispenser drawer
^Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer until a resistance is felt.
^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 resi-
dues.
^Remove the siphon tube from com-
partment p.
Wash under running warm water and
put back.
Cleaning and care
38

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 wa-
ter will be retained in the machine (up
to 25 litres).
Caution: If laundry has been washed
at a high temperature, water drain-
ing out of the machine will still be
hot.
Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from
behind the detergent drawer facia
panel, (see illustration above).
^Open the door.
^Open the flap.
^Place a dish under the drain fixture.
^Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3
times. Do not take it right out.
With large volumes of water, when the
dish is full, screw the fluff filter back into
position, and empty the dish before re-
peating the procedure.
Cleaning and care
39

^Once the flow of water ceases, re-
move the fluff filter completely.
^Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.
^Remove any foreign objects (e.g.
buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff.
^Turn the impeller by hand to check
that it is free to rotate. Any foreign ob-
jects causing an obstruction should
be removed.
^Clean the inside of the fluff filter hous-
ing.
Remove any deposits of lime scale and
detergent or foreign objects from the
thread of the filter housing and filter unit
(as these objects can cause a leakage
of water). Deposits of lime scale are of-
ten a sign of underdosage of powder.
^Put the fluff filter back in place and
secure.
Make sure the fluff filter is securely
tightened. Otherwise there is a risk
of water leakage during use.
After cleaning
^Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the
detergent dispenser compartment
jto reactivate the ball valve which
keeps detergent in circulation in the
suds.
Cleaning and care
40

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 of-
ten if there are frequent interruptions to
the external water supply.
^First turn off the stopcock.
^Unscrew the threaded union connect-
ing 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 2, remove the filter
and clean.
^Put the filter and seal back in the re-
verse 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.

What to do if... Possible cause Remedy
Grey, greasy parti-
cles cling to
washed laundry.
Insufficient amounts of
detergent were used to
break down the particles
of grease in heavily
soiled laundry.
–Add more detergent.
–Before washing the next load
run a COTTONS 95°C
programme with powder de-
tergent but without a load.
(See also "Extra cleaning" in
Cleaning and Care).
There are white res-
idues which look
like powder deter-
gent on dark col-
oured laundry.
The detergent contained
compounds (zeolites) to
aid water softening
which are not soluble in
water. These have
ended up on the laundry.
–Try and brush off the resi-
dues with a soft brush once
the laundry is dry.
–Use a liquid detergent to
wash dark coloured textiles.
Liquid detergents usually
contain no zeolites.

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable in-
stallation surface for a washing ma-
chine, being far less prone to vibration
during the spin cycle than wooden
floorboards or a surface with "soft"
properties.
Please note the following points:
^The machine must be level and se-
curely 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
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 pres-
ence 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).
Installation
Lift the machine from its packaging
base and move it to its site. Please
note:
^Do not lift the machine by the
drum door.
^Ensure that the machine feet and the
floor are dry to prevent the machine
from slipping during the spin cycle.
Removing the transit fitting
1. Turn the left-hand transit bar 90°.
Installation
52

2. Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°.
3. Withdraw the two bars together with
the support plate.
4. 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 as shown or
keep them in a safe place for future
use. They must be re-fitted if the ma-
chine 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
53

Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level
on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase elec-
tricity 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 deliv-
ered.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
^Gently tip the machine and prop it up
using a solid wood wedge for exam-
ple, to ensure stability.
,Make sure the machine does not
slip as this could cause injury.
^With a screwdriver loosen and turn
the foot 1together with the
counternut 2to the left, (see illustra-
tion below) and screw out.
^Put the machine back on all four feet.
^Use a spirit level to check the ma-
chine is standing level.
^Hold the foot 1firm using a pipe
wrench and turn the counternut 2to
the right firmly up against the housing
with a screwdriver.
,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.

Fitting the front panel
The front of this appliance can be fitted
with a door panel to match surrounding
units. If the unit is fitted in a MIELE
KITCHEN, a door panel with the appro-
priate dimensions and the necessary
holes pre-drilled can be provided.
If the kitchen is from a manufacturer
other than Miele, it is recommended
that the panel be cut to size and
holes drilled by a specialist, accord-
ing to Miele specifications.
The rear side of the front panel must
be completely flat (without profile).
Any unevenness must be levelled
out.
Front panel dimensions:
Height: . . . . . . . . 570 mm (+10/-25mm)
Width: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 588 - 596 mm

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 suit-
able 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 con-
nected 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 po-
sitions 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.
Installation
61

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 suit-
able for connection to a hot water
supply.
The protective sleeve of the hose must
not be damaged (see illustration).
The "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 sys-
tem there is an electric safety valve,
which works like an automatic stop-
cock.
The Miele "Waterproof system" protects
from water damage in the following
cases:
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
N.B. If you intend to unscrew the "Wa-
terproof system" unit from the mains wa-
ter supply it is essential that the ma-
chine 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 "Water-
proof system" connection must not
be removed.

Important!
The plastic casing of the water connec-
tion contains an electric component.
Do not dip into any liquid!
The "Waterproof system" must only

must not be connected to mixer taps
or similar.

Connection to the drainage
system
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre.
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.
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note the following
–Hook the hose over the edge and se-
cure.
–Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance. Other-
wise there is a risk of water overflow-
ing 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 ex-
tended to a length of 5 m. The neces-
sary 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.

Electrical connection U.K.
All electrical work should be carried out
only by a suitably qualified and compe-
tent person, in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable with moulded plug for connection
to a 230-240V mains supply. The volt-
age, rated load and fuse rating are
given on the data plate. Please ensure
these match the household mains sup-
ply.
Connection should be made via a fused
plug and suitable switched socket
which is easily accessible after installa-
tion. For extra safety it is advisable to
install a residual current device (RCD),
with a trip current of 30 mA (in accor-
dance with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100,
section 739). Do not connect via an ex-
tension lead.
Ensure power is not supplied to the ap-
pliance while installation work is being
carried out.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are col-
oured in accordance with the following
code:
Green/yellow = earth
Blue = neutral
Brown = live
Where it is necessary to change plugs,
if the colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance do not corre-
spond with the coloured markings iden-
tifying the terminals of your plug, pro-
ceed as follows:
^The wire which is coloured green and
yellow must be connected to the ter-
minal in the plug which is marked
with the letter E or by the earth sym-
bol zor 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 let-
ter L or coloured red.

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363
If this machine is fitted with a non-
rewireable plug, the following informa-
tion applies:
If the socket outlets are not suitable for
the plug supplied with the product, it
must be cut off and an appropriate plug
fitted. The fuse carrier and fuse should
be removed from the old plug and dis-
posed of.
The plug cut from the flexible cord
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 em-
bossed in words on the base of the
plug (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).
Replacement fuses should be ASTA ap-
proved to BS 1362 and have the cor-
rect rating. Replacement fuse covers
may be purchased from your local elec-
trical supplier or Service agent.
