Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the safety standards of the machine. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.
7

Warning and Safety instructions Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty. If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger. The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault. The machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in good time and avoid the risk of any water damage. The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should not exceed 1000 kPa. In 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 warranty. The machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship). Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions Correct use Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk
of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point. Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation - Removing the transit bars"). 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. The maximum load for this washing machine is 8 kg (dry weight). See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.

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 it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent. Miele recommends using Miele descaling agent which is available to order online at www.miele.co.uk or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine. Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, 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. Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, to clean the surfaces of the 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 detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. 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 detergent.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Before using for the first time

Damage resulting from incorrect
installation and connection. Installing and connecting the washing machine incorrectly will cause serious property damage. See "Installation".

Protective foil and stickers removal
Remove: The protective foil from the door Any stickers from the front and the lid
Please do not remove any labels (e.g. the data plate) which are visible when you open the door.

Shut the door with a gentle swing. This washing machine has undergone a complete functional test at the factory and there will be some residual water in the drum from this process.

Before using for the first time

Running the first programme
Open the stopcock. Turn the programme selector to the
Cottons position. The washing machine is now switched on and in the control field, the temperature 60 °C lights up. Touch the Start/Add laundry sensor
control. The programme will start.
After 10 minutes, the indicators dim, except for the Start/Add laundry sensor control.
Opening the door at the end of the programme
The door remains locked during the anti-crease phase. The control field lights up for the first 10 minutes. The control field then goes out and the Start/Add laundry sensor control flashes. Turn the programme selector to the
position. appears on the timer display and the indicator light goes out. The door unlocks. Tip: After the anti-crease phase, the washing machine will have switched off and the door unlocked automatically. The control field will be completely dark.

Take hold of the door and pull it open.
Tip: Leave the door slightly open to allow the drum to dry. Initial commissioning is now complete.

Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water consumption Water consumption and energy us-
age are determined by the size of the load. To make the most of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using. When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the automatic load control will reduce the amount of water and energy used. Use the Express 20 programme for small, lightly soiled loads. Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g. 20 °C). Washing using lower temperature settings will save energy. To maintain the hygiene of the machine, carry out a hot wash (above 60 °C) at regular intervals. The indicator will light to remind you to carry out a hot wash.

Detergent Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry. Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (approx. less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct extra option (Short and Pre-wash) Select: A wash programme together with the
Short extra option for light soiling where there are no obvious marks. A wash programme without any extra options for normal to heavy soiling with visible marks. The Pre-wash extra option for laundry with large amounts of soiling (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.

1. Prepare the laundry

Tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee, tea) can be pre-treated using some handy tricks which can be found in the Miele guide to laundry care.

Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to garments and components in the machine. Check the laundry before washing and remove any foreign objects.
Sort the laundry Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Tip: 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.
Pre-treating stains Badly soiled areas and stains 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.

Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts. When pre-treating textiles, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents. When using solvent-based cleaning agents, an explosive mixture may develop. Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing machine.
General tips Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag. Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any
loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc. should be removed or sewn in. Close any zips, attach velcro fasteners, fasten hooks and eyes etc. before washing. Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them. Do not wash any items in this washing machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).

Open the door

2. Load the washing machine
Close the door

Take hold of the door and pull it open. Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading it with laundry.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creases. Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning. Tip: Please note the maximum load for different wash programmes.

Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.

3. Select a programme

Programme selection
The washing machine is switched on by turning the programme selector to a wash programme.

Selecting a temperature and spin speed The wash programme's preset temperature and spin speed light up brightly. The choice of available temperatures and spin speeds for the wash programme light up dimmed. The temperatures reached inside the washing machine might not be the same as the temperatures selected. Perfect wash results are achieved through a combination of energy use and wash duration.

Turn the programme selector to the required programme.
The likely wash time is shown in the time display and the pre-set temperature and spin speed light up in the control panel.

Touch the sensor for the desired temperature. It will then light up brightly.
Touch the sensor for the desired spin speed. It will then light up brightly.

Selecting Extras The selection of extras available for the wash programme lights up dimly.

3. Select a programme

Touch the sensor for the extra you want. It then lights up brightly.
Tip: You can select multiple extras for a wash programme. Please refer to "Extras" for more information.

4. Add detergent

Detergent dispenser drawer
Any detergent suitable for automatic front loading washing machines can be used. Please observe the instructions for use and dosage on the detergent packaging.
Adding detergent

Adding fabric conditioner

Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergent to the compartments.
Detergent for the pre-wash Detergent for the main wash Fabric softener, liquid starch or capsules

Add fabric conditioner or liquid starch to the compartment. Do not exceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the final rinse. At the end of the programme a small amount of water remains in the compartment.
If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the dispenser compartment, especially the siphon tube, regularly.

4. Add detergent

Tips on dosing Adjust the detergent dosage to the level of soiling of the laundry and the size of the load. Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (e.g. reduce the amount of detergent by when washing a half load). Too little detergent: Results in laundry not being cleaned
properly and may cause it to become grey and hard to the touch over time. Can lead to a build-up of mould in the washing machine. Results in grease not being completely removed from the laundry. Can lead to limescale deposits on the heater elements. Too much detergent Causes poor wash, rinse, and spin results. Causes higher water consumption as an extra rinse cycle is automatically activated. Is a greater burden on the environment.

Using liquid detergent with a prewash Liquid detergent cannot be used for the main wash if the pre-wash has been selected. Use powder detergent for the main wash.
Using detergent tablets or pods Always put detergent tablets or pods directly in the drum with the laundry. They cannot be added via the detergent dispenser drawer.

4. Add detergent

CapDosing
Three different types of capsule are available:
= Fabric care (e.g. fabric conditioner, proofing agent)
= Additives (e.g. detergent enhancer)
= Detergent (for the main wash only)
Each capsule contains the correct amount for one wash cycle. Caps are available to order from Miele or from the Miele online shop (see the end of this booklet for contact details).
Capsules pose a health risk.
The ingredients of capsules can be hazardous to health if they are swallowed or come into contact with skin. Keep capsules out of the reach of children.

Detergent

The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and dosage recommendations on the packaging. For users in Asia: please use a low foaming detergent suitable for use in front-loading machines
The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:
the soiling level of the load the quantity of the laundry the water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in areas with water hardness levels II and III. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener. You can then use the recommended amount of detergent for water hardness level I.

Dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these are supplied with the detergent, particularly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent buy refill packs wherever possible. This helps reduce the amount of waste packaging.
Fabric conditioner and liquid starch
Fabric conditioner makes garments soft to handle and helps prevent static cling when tumble drying. Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.

Problem solving guide

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem

Cause and remedy

Liquid detergent does not give the required result.

Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea stains. Use a general purpose powder detergent contain-
ing a bleaching agent. Use the appropriate capsule or add stain removers
to the compartment. Never put stain removers and liquid detergent to-
gether in the dispenser drawer.

Grey, greasy particles Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break cling to washed laundry. down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
Use more detergent. Before washing the next load run a Cottons 60°C
programme with powder detergent but without a load.

White residues which look like powder detergent are seen on dark textiles after washing.

The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. These have ended up on the laundry. Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry. Wash dark textiles using a detergent which con-
tains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain no zeolites. Use the Dark garments/Denim programme for dark coloured laundry.

Installation

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface. It is far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface. Please note: 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: Install the machine on a plywood base (at least 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joists and not only to the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first. Tip: If possible, install the machine in a corner. This is usually the most stable part of the floor.
Injury can occur if the washing
machine has not been adequately secured. During installation, the washing machine must be secured on a plinth to be made available on site (concrete or brick), in order to ensure it cannot fall or slip. Secure the washing machine using a clamp/fastening bracket (MTS floor mounting kit available from your Miele dealer or Miele spare parts department).

Transporting the washing machine to its installation site
Danger of injury due to unsecure
lid. Make sure the fixings at the back of the lid are secure. Otherwise there is a danger of the lid being pulled off when carrying the machine. Before carrying the machine check that the lid is secure where it protrudes at the back of the machine. Carry the washing machine by the front feet and by the lid where it protrudes at the back of the appliance.
Removing the transit bars
Remove the left and right covers. 1. Pull off the transit bar covers and 2. then use a screwdriver to release the
catches at the top and bottom.

Installation

Levelling the machine
The washing machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about.

Screwing out and adjusting the feet The four adjustable screw feet are used for levelling the washing machine. The machine is supplied with all four feet are screwed in.

Use a level to check that the washing machine is standing level.
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again using the spanner supplied until it sits firmly up against the housing.

Using the spanner supplied, turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.

Risk of damage due to incor-
rectly aligned washing machine. There is a danger of the washing machine moving about if the feet are not secured. Turn all four counter nuts for the feet until they sit firmly up against the housing. Please also check this for the feet which did not need adjustment.

The water protection system
The Miele water protection system protects all parts of the washing machine from water damage. The system consists of three main components: the inlet hose the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection the drain hose
Inlet hose Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand pressure of at least 7,000 kPa.

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 water inlet 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.
Drain hose The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied completely.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Connection to the water supply
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water. The quality of the incoming water must correspond to the drinking water specification of the country in which the washing machine is being operated. Always connect the washing machine to the mains water supply.
The washing machine should be connected to the mains water supply in accordance with current 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 water connection pressure needs to be between 100 kPa and 1000 kPa. If the water connection pressure exceeds 1000 kPa, a pressure reducing valve must be installed. A stopcock with a ¾ inch threaded union is required for the connection. If this is not available, only a qualified installer may connect the washing machine to the mains water supply.

Maintenance Only use a genuine Miele hose that has been pressure tested to withstand at least 7,000 kPa should you ever need a replacement.
Damage caused by dirty water.
A filter is located in the open end of the inlet hose and another in the intake point to protect the inlet valve in the washing machine. These filters must not be removed.
Hose extension Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are available from your Miele Dealer or Miele as optional extras.

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 the threaded union if necessary.

The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply. The washing machine must not be connected to a hot water supply.

Installation

Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain pump with a 1 m delivery head. For the water to drain freely, the hose must be free of kinks. If required, the hose can be extended to a length of up to 5 m. Accessories are available from Miele or from 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 Miele for advice. For a delivery head of 1.8 m the hose can be extended to a length of up to 2.5 m. Accessories are available from Miele or from your Miele dealer.
Drainage options: 1. Directed into a sink or basin:
Please note: Hook the hose over the edge and
secure it. If the water is pumped into a
washbasin, make sure that it can drain away freely. 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 siphon). 3. Connected securely to a floor drain (gully). 4. Connected securely to a washbasin with plastic nipple.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with an electrical connection cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a switched socket. The socket must be easily accessible after the washing machine has been installed. If that is not possible, ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided on the installation side for each pole.

Do not connect the washing machine to a stand-alone inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source, e.g. solar power. When the washing machine is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switchoff. This could damage the electronic module.

Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the washing machine to a multi-socket plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable. Do not use an extension lead or multi-socket plug adapter.

The electrical system must comply with local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). We recommend the use of a suitable RCD .
