Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please ensure they are

offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances /

machines often contain materials

which, if handled or disposed of

incorrectly, could be potentially

hazardous to human health and to the

environment. They are, however,

essential for the correct functioning of

your appliance or machine. Please do

not therefore dispose of your old

machine or appliance with your

household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre and ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected

from the mains electricity supply by a

competent person. The plug must be

rendered useless and the cable cut off

directly behind it to prevent misuse.

See the "Warning and Safety" section of

this booklet for further details.

Contents

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the machine please read

these instructions carefully before

using it for the first time. They

contain important information on its

safety, use and maintenance.

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

garments.

Any other applications may be danger-

ous. The manufacturer is not liable for

damage resulting from improper use or

operation.

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 (voltage and connected

load) match the mains electricity

supply. If in any doubt, consult a

qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this

machine 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

present and regularly tested and where

there is any doubt the household wiring

system should be inspected by a

qualified electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable

for the consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Do not connect the machine to the

mains electricity supply by an

extension lead. Extension leads do not

guarantee the required safety of the

machine (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

liability. Repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele approved

technician.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

appliance until after maintenance or

repair work has been 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 "Water protection

system" protects from water

damage provided the following

conditions have been met:

–

the machine is correctly plumbed in

and connected to the electricity

supply.

–

if a fault has been identified, the

machine must be examined by a

competent person before further use,

and repaired if necessary.

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 faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protect

the user from danger.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation

by cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

machine and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any

damage which may be caused by

cockroaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the machine guarantee.

Use

This equipment may only be used

in mobile installations such as

ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk

assessment of the installation has been

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 unit 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, 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.

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 instructions on the packaging. If in

doubt, contact the Miele Customer Ser

vice 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 washing. Reaching into a

moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Safety with children

This machine is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury do not allow

children to play on or near it or to play

with the controls. Supervise its use by

the elderly or infirm, and supervise

children whilst you are operating the

machine.

For machines with a ‘porthole’

door, remember that the porthole

glass will be hot when washing at very

high temperatures. Do not let children

touch it.

Accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele.

If other parts are used, guarantee,

performance and product liability

claims will be invalidated.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine,

switch it off at the wall socket and

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.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.

The Settings menu is used to alter the washing machine's

electronics to suit different requirements. See "Settings menu"

for more details.

Operating the washing machine

Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is

correctly installed and connected. See "Installation and

connection". Also check that the drain filter is securely

tightened to prevent the risk of water leaks during use.

The washing machine has a sensor which measures the

amount of laundry in the drum. This determines the amount

of detergent required. To allow the load size indicator to

function correctly, you must first run a wash programme

without any laundry

and without detergent.

Open the stopcock.

Press the s button in.

If the washing machine is being switched on for the first time,

the welcome screen will appear.

The welcome screen will not appear again once a

programme lasting longer than 1 hour has been

completed.

Reminder to remove transport struts

To avoid the risk of damage, the transport struts must be

removed before the washing machine is used for the first

time. See "Installation and connection" for instructions on

how to do this.

Remove the transport struts (if this has not already been

done by your fitter). Then confirm that you want to continue

by pressing short cut button 4.

The machine is now ready for use.

Before using for the first time

Energy and water consumption

–

Water consumption and energy

usage are determined by the size of

the load.

To make the most out of your

machine load the maximum dry load

for the programme you are using.

–

Use the

Automatic

and

Quick wash

programmes for small loads.

–

If smaller loads are washed using the

Cottons Hygiene

and the

Cottons

Universal

programmes, the automat

ic load recognition system will

reduce the amount of water, time and

energy used. This may mean that the

time left shown in the display is

adjusted during the course of the

wash programme.

– Instead of using

Cottons Hygiene

95°

, use

Cottons Universal 60°

and

select the Extra option

Intensive

. This

will give an energy saving of

between 35% and 45%. The

programme duration will be longer.

This combination is sufficient for

most levels of soiling. For stubborn

or old stains, use the Extra option

Soak

Detergent

–

Do not exceed the amounts of

detergent recommended by the

manufacturer on the packaging.

–

Reduce the amount of detergent for

smaller loads (use the Detergent

sub-menu).

Choosing the correct Extra options

(Soak, Pre-wash, Intensive)

Select:

a wash programme without any Extra

options for light to normal soiling

where there are no obvious marks.

a wash programme with the Extra

option

Intensive

for normal to heavily

soiled laundry with visible staining.

– Use the Extra option

Soak

instead of

Pre-wash

. If Soak is followed immedi-

ately by a main wash the same suds

are used.

When drying with a tumble dryer

–

Selecting the highest possible spin

speed for the wash programme will

save energy when drying in a tumble

dryer afterwards.

Washing environmentally and economically

Brief instructions

The headings numbered A, B, C, . . .

show the operating sequence and can

be used as brief instructions.

A Sort the laundry

^ Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails,

coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause

damage to garments and

components in the machine.

Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should

be removed as soon as possible,

preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages

should be carefully dabbed off using

a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!

Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated

with liquid detergent, stain removers

etc. first, following the manufacturer's

instructions. With particularly stubborn

stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

Do not use solvent-based

cleaning agents in this machine.

Sort the laundry by colour and by

care label. Most garments have a

textile care label in the collar or side

seam.

Dark textiles often contain excess dye

and should be washed separately

several times before being included in

a mixed load. Always wash whites and

coloureds separately.

–

Curtains: Remove lead weights first

or place in a laundry bag.

–

Underwiring and collar stiffeners:

Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar

stiffeners, etc. should be removed or

sewn in.

– 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 etc. to prevent

small items from being rolled up

inside them.

Do not wash any items in this machine

which are specified by the

manufacturer as not washable on the

care label. (h symbol)

How to wash correctly

B Switch on the washing machine

The interior drum lighting will come on.

C Select a programme

You can select a programme either by:

–

using the appropriate short cut

button to select one of the four

frequently used programmes, or

–

by going into the

Prog. Selection

menu.

If required, you can then select any

Extra

and/or Delay start from the

relevant sub-menu.

D Load the drum

^ Press the a button to open the

drum door.

^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely

in the drum. Mixing both large and

small items gives better wash results

and also helps distribute the load

evenly during spinning.

The load size and the detergent

indicators will appear.

The display shows the amount of

laundry loaded in the drum as a % (in

25% steps) of the maximum load

permissible for the programme

selected. Please refer to "Adding

detergent" for more information.

The most efficient use of energy and

water is achieved when a full load is

washed. However, do not overload as

this causes creases and reduces

cleaning efficiency.

Make sure that no garments are

caught between the drum door and

seal.

^ Shut the door with a firm swing.

How to wash correctly

E Add detergent

The percentage amounts in the display

will help you to add the correct

percentage amount of detergent

recommended by the manufacturer.

40%

Add slightly less than half the

amount recommended...

50%

Add half the amount

recommended...

60%

Add slightly more than half the

amount recommended...

75%

Add three quarters of the

amount recommended...

100%

Add the full amount

You also need to take the level of

soiling and water hardness into

account.

too little detergent results in:

– Laundry not getting properly clean

and with time it may become grey

and hard to the touch.

–

Greasy particles clinging to the

laundry.

–

Limescale deposits on the heater

elements.

too much detergent results in:

–

Excessive foam which causes a low

level of agitation and poor wash,

rinse and spin results.

–

High water consumption (an

additional rinse cycle will

automatically switch in).

–

A burden to the environment.

Pull out the detergent drawer and

add detergent to the compartments

as follows:

Detergent for the pre-wash

(add

of the total amount

recommended). This compartment is

also used for starch formulations

when starching separately.

Detergent for the main wash

including Soak

Fabric conditioner or liquid starch.

Close the detergent drawer.

See "Detergent" for further information

on detergent and the amount to

dispense.

How to wash correctly

F Start the programme

Press the flashing

Start

button.

The estimated programme duration will

appear in the display. This will count

down in one minute steps. During the

first 10 minutes the washing machine

measures how much water is being

absorbed by the laundry. The program

me duration may be longer or shorter

depending on this absorbency rate.

The programme sequence is also

shown in the display. The washing

machine shows you when each section

of the programme is reached.

The drum lighting switches off once the

programme has started.

Once washing is in progress, you can

press one of the short cut buttons to

select or de-select additional options,

or call up other information as follows:

– Button

Extras

: you can select or

de-select the

Intensive

and/or

after the programme has started.

–

Button

Timer

m: you can call up

the current time of day and the

estimated end time of the

programme.

–

Button

Save

: to save the current

programme as a favourite.

–

Button

G Remove the laundry

Anti-crease

and

Finish

will flash

alternately in the display to indicate that

the programme has finished.

Press the a button to open the

drum door.

Remove the laundry.

Only remove laundry from the

machine once the drum has

stopped turning. Reaching into a

moving drum is extremely

dangerous and could result in injury.

Check that all items have been

removed from the drum. Items left in

the drum could discolour other items

in the next wash or become

discoloured themselves.

Check the folds in the door seal for

any small articles, e.g. buttons which

might be lodged there.

Switch the washing machine off with

the s button.

Close the drum door. Otherwise there

is the 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.

You can programme the short cut buttons to call up the four

wash programmes you use most frequently.

You can do this at the same time as starting a wash

programme.
