The Miele "Waterproof system"protects from water damage

provided the following conditions havebeen met:

– the machine is correctly plumbed inand connected to the electricitysupply.

– if a fault has been identified, themachine must be examined by acompetent person before further use,and repaired if necessary.

Faulty components must only bereplaced by genuine Miele original

spare parts. Only when these parts arefitted can the safety standards of themachine be guaranteed.

If the connection cable is faulty itmust only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protectthe user from danger.

In countries where there are areaswhich may be subject to infestation

by cockroaches or other vermin, payparticular attention to keeping theappliance and its surroundings in aclean condition at all times. Anydamage which may be caused bycockroaches or other vermin will not becovered by the appliance guarantee.

UseThis equipment is not designed formaritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as caravans, aircraftetc. However it may be suitable forsuch usage subject to a riskassessment of the installation beingcarried out by a suitably qualifiedengineer.

Do not install your washingmachine in rooms where

temperatures below freezing mayoccur. Frozen hoses may burst underpressure. The reliability of the electroniccontrol unit may be impaired attemperatures below freezing point.

Before using the machine for thefirst time, check that the transit

fitting at the rear of the machine hasbeen removed (see section on"Installation"). During spinning, a transitfitting which is still in place may result indamage to both the machine andadjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if themachine is to be left for any length

of time (e.g. holiday), especially if thereis no floor drain (gully) in the immediatevicinity.

Flooding dangerIf hooking the drain hose into a

wash basin, check that the water candrain off quickly enough to prevent thesink from overflowing.Make sure the drain hose is secure, sothat the force of the water flowing out ofthe hose does not dislodge it.Otherwise this will result in flooding.

Take care to ensure that foreignobjects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,

paper clips) do not find their way intothe machine with the washing. Thesemay damage components of themachine (e.g. suds container, drum),which in turn can result in damage tothe washing.

If the correct amount of detergentis dispensed, the machine should

not need to be descaled. If, however,you do wish to descale the machineonly use proprietary non-corrosivedescaling agents and strictly observethe instructions on the packaging.

Textiles which have beenpre-treated in solvent based

cleaning agents must be thoroughlyrinsed in clean water before beingwashed in the machine.

Never use solvent based cleaningagents in this machine, as this may

result in damage to component partsand create toxic fumes. Suchdetergents also pose a fire andexplosion hazard.

Only use dyes specified by themanufacturer as being suitable for

use in a domestic washing machine.Always observe the manufacturer'sinstructions carefully.

Colour run and dye removerscontain sulphur compounds which

can cause damage such as corrosion.Do not use these products in thismachine.

For machines with a ‘porthole’door, remember that the porthole

glass will be hot when washing at veryhigh temperatures. Do not let childrentouch it.

Always make sure the drum isstationary before reaching in to

remove washing. Reaching into amoving drum is extremely dangerous.

Energy and water consumption

– Water consumption and energyusage are determined by the size ofthe load.

– Use the Automatic and Quick washprogrammes for small loads.

– If smaller loads are washed using theCottons Hygiene and the CottonsUniversal programmes, the automat-ic load recognition system willreduce the amount of water, time andenergy used. This may mean that thetime left shown in the display isadjusted during the course of thewash programme.

– Instead of using the CottonsHygiene 95°C programme, useCottons Universal 60°C and selectthe Intensive EXTRA. This will give anenergy saving of between 35% and45%. The programme duration willbe longer. This combination issufficient for most levels of soiling.For stubborn or old stains, use theSoak EXTRA.

Detergent

– Do not exceed the amount ofdetergent recommended by themanufacturer on the packaging.

– Reduce the amount of detergent forsmaller loads. Use theLoad/Detergent button.

Choosing the correct Extra options(Soak, Pre-wash, Intensive)

Select:

A wash programme without anyEXTRAS for light to normal soilingwhere there are no obvious marks.

Load <25%

B

The display shows the amount oflaundry loaded in the drum as a % (in25% steps) of the maximum loadpermissible for the programmeselected.

^ Unfold the laundry and load looselyin the drum. Mixing both large andsmall items gives better wash resultsand also helps distribute the loadevenly during spinning.

The most efficient use of energy andwater is achieved when a full load iswashed. However, do not overload asthis causes creases and reducescleaning efficiency.

Make sure that no garments arecaught between the drum door andseal.

^ Shut the door with a firm swing.


16

EAdd detergent

The load size indicator display will bereplaced with the detergent percentagedisplay.

amount recommended . . .100% Add the full amount

You also need to take the level ofsoiling and water hardness intoaccount.

too little detergent results in:

– Laundry not getting properly cleanand with time it may become greyand hard to the touch.

– Greasy particles clinging to thelaundry.

– Limescale deposits on the heaterelements.

too much detergent results in:

– Excessive foam which causes a lowlevel of agitation and poor wash,rinse and spin results.

– High water consumption (anadditional rinse cycle willautomatically switch in).

– A burden to the environment.

^ Pull out the detergent drawer andadd detergent to the compartmentsas follows:

i

Detergent for the pre-wash (1/4 of thetotal amount recommended).This compartment is also used forstarch formulations when starchingseparately.

All modern detergents produced forfront loading automatic washingmachines are suitable, including liquid,compact (concentrated), tablets andspecial application detergents. Usedispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these aresupplied with the detergent. Tablets aresuitable for full loads but note that itmay be impractical to reduce tablets byproportion to suit smaller loads!

Woollens and knitwear containing woolmixtures and hand-washable garmentsshould be washed using a detergentspecifically designed for washingwoollens.

Silk should be washed using a liquiddetergent specifically designed forwashing woollens. Do not usebiological detergents on silk as theenzymes may damage the silk!

Instructions for use and recommendedamounts for a full load are given on thedetergent packaging.

The right amount to dispense willdepend on the following:

– The quantity of laundry (follow themachine’s dispensingrecommendation and reduce theamount of detergent with smallerloads as indicated on the display)

– The soiling level of the laundry.

Lightly soiledNo visible dirt or stains. Possiblyslight body odour.

Normally soiledVisibly dirty and/or just a few slightstains.

Heavily soiledStains and soiling clearly visible.

Water softenersA water softener such as Calgon canbe used to cut down on the use ofdetergents in extremely hard waterareas. Dispense according to theamount specified on the packaging.First add detergent and then the watersoftener.

Use a quantity of detergent as for softwater.

Washing with several compo-nentsIf you wash using several components(e.g. special application detergents),we recommend always dispensing theagents into compartment j in thefollowing order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softener

3. Stain remover, e.g. Biotex

This way the agents are distributedmore efficiently.

Detergent

31

Fabric conditioners and liquidstarchFabric conditioners make garments softand fluffy to handle and help preventstatic cling when tumble drying.

Starch stiffens and gives body to itemsof laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths andbed linen.

^ Dispense according to the amountspecified on the packaging.

Automatic dispensing of fabricconditioner or liquid starch

^ Add the fabric conditioner or liquidstarch to compartment §. Do notexceed the maximum level mark.

The conditioner or liquid starch isautomatically dispensed in the lastrinse. At the end of the programme asmall amount of water remains in thefabric conditioner compartment §.

If starching frequently, clean thedispenser compartment andespecially the siphon tube andconditioner channel regularly. See"Cleaning the detergent dispenserdrawer".

Adding fabric conditioner separately

^ Clean the fascia panel with a dampcloth and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

^ The drum can be cleaned using asuitable proprietary stainless-steelcleaning agent.

,Do not use solvents, abrasivecleaners, glass cleaners orall-purpose cleaning agents. Thesemight damage plastic surfaces andother components because of thechemicals they contain.The washing machine must not behosed down.

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available fromthe Miele Spare Parts department, Partnumber 98013530, which is suitable forcleaning surfaces such as stainlesssteel, glass, plastic and chrome withoutthe use of chemicals. It can be washed300 times.

Extra cleaning

Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)with powder detergent approx. every 6weeks to help prevent deposits buildingup in the machine. These can occurwhen washing is mainly done at lowtemperatures, and also lead tounpleasant smells. If you have noreason to wash occasionally at this hightemperature, then run a Cottons 95°Cprogram with detergent but no laundryat regular intervals.

Installation surfaceA concrete floor is the most suitableinstallation surface for a washingmachine, being far less prone tovibration during the spin cycle thanwooden floorboards or a carpetedsurface.

Please note the following points:

^ The machine must be level andsecurely positioned.

^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,the machine should not be installedon soft floor coverings.

If installing on a wooden joist floor:

^ we recommend a plywood base(at least 59x52x3 cm). The baseshould span several joists and bebolted to the joists and not only to thefloorboards. Check for the presenceof pipes and cables.

If possible, install the machine in acorner, as this is usually the most stablepart of the floor.

,If the machine is installed on araised plinth, it has to be securedagainst slippage during spin usingretaining clips (available from theMiele Spare Parts Dept).

Installing the washing machineTo manoeuvre the machine out of itspacking case to its installlation site holdit by the edge of the lid where itprotrudes to the rear of the washingmachine as well as by the handlerecesses at the front.

Please note:

^ Do not lift the machine by the drumdoor.

,Ensure that the machine feet andthe floor are dry to prevent themachine from slipping during thespin cycle.

Removing the transit fittings

^ To remove the left and right covers

1. Use a screwdriver to prise out thecover as illustrated.

2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.


48

^ Using the spanner supplied turn theleft-hand transit bar 90°, then

^ withdraw the transit bar.

^ Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,then

^ withdraw the transit bar.


49

^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.Then plug the holes as shown withthe caps.

^ Secure the transit bars to the back ofthe washing machine. Make sure thatholes b are fitted over retainers a.

,The washing machine must notbe moved without the transit bars inplace.Store the transit bars as shown orkeep them in a safe place for futureuse. They must be re-fitted if themachine is to be moved again(e.g.when moving house).

Re-fitting the transit barsRe-fitting is carried out by reversing theprocedure.


50

Levelling the machineThe machine must stand perfectly levelon all four feet to ensure safe andproper operation.

Incorrect installation may increaseelectricity and water consumption andmay cause the machine to move about.

False values may also show in theLoad % and Detergent % display.

Screwing out and adjusting the feet

The four adjustable screw feet are usedto level the machine. All four feet arescrewed in when the machine isdelivered.

^ Using the spanner supplied turncounter nut 2 in a clockwisedirection. Then turn counter nut 2together with foot 1 to unscrew.

^ Use a spirit level to check themachine is standing level.

^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipewrench. Turn counter nut 2 againusing the spanner supplied until itsits firmly up against the housing.

,All four counternuts must befirmly up against the housing. Pleasealso check this for the feet which didnot need adjustment. Otherwisethere is the danger of the machinemoving about.


51

Building under a continuousworktop / in a kitchen run

– A special building under conversionkit* is required.The machine lid must be replaced bya cover plate. To ensure electricalsafety the cover plate must befitted. **

N.B.**

If you wish to push your machine undera worktop and there is space to do thiswithout removing the lid, theconversion kit is not necessary.Otherwise the conversion kit isessential.

– For installation under a work surface900/910 mm from the floor, a raisingkit* is required.

– Connections for electricity, water anddrainage should be installed in sucha way that they remain accessiblewhen the machine is in place.

Fitting instructions are supplied with theconversion kit.

All parts marked* are available from theMiele Spare Parts or Sales Department.

The fitting of cover plates andstacking kits must only beundertaken by qualified andcompetent persons, in accordancewith the instructions supplied withthe kit.

Washer and Dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stackedwith the washing machine. A stackingkit* is necessary and can be purchasedfrom the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Please note

a Safety distance to wall:at least 2 cm

b Height:Stacking kit with pull-out shelf:approx. 169 cmStacking kit without pull-out shelf:approx. 170 cm

,A washer and dryer shouldnever be stacked without using theproper stacking kit. Doing so isextremely dangerous, as the dryermay vibrate off of the washingmachine during use.


52

The Miele Waterproof systemThe Miele Waterproof system protectsall parts of the washing machine fromwater damage.

The system consists of three maincomponents:

1) the inlet hoses

2) the electronic unit and the washingmachine housing

3) the drain hose

1) Inlet hoses

– The inlet hoses are fitted withadditional electrical safety valveswhich work like automatic stopcocksand are housed in the inlet hoseconnection boxes.

– They are pressure proof to between7000 and 10000 kPa.

– The inlet hoses have a protectivesleeve.

Any leaking water from the inlet hoseis fed into the sump through theprotective covering which surroundsthe inlet hose as a "second skin". Thefloat switches off the safety valves,preventing water flowing into themachine and water in the sudscontainer is pumped away.

2) Electronic unit and washingmachine housing

– Sump

Any leaking water is collected in asump in the base of the appliance. Afloat switches off the water inletvalves, preventing water flowing intothe machine and water in the sudscontainer is pumped away.

– Overflow protection

This prevents the washing machinetaking in too much water. If the waterlevel exceeds a certain level, thedrain pump switches on and pumpsthe water away.

3) Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by aventilation system which prevents thewashing machine from beingemptied completely.


53

Connection to the water supply

The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. TheWaterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not beconnected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there isthe risk of water or other liquids reaching it. A flexible metal extension hose,available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department as anoptional extra, should be used if necessary.

Do not dip into any liquid.

The protective sleeve of the hosemust not be damaged or kinked.


54

The machine should be connected to amains water supply in accordance withlocal and national safety regulations.Connection to a household watersoftener is not recommended.

The machine is designed to operatewith a flow pressure of between 100and 1000 kPa. If it is higher than1000 kPa it is essential to fit a reducervalve.

Connection to the mains water supplyshould incorporate a mains stopcockwith 3/4" thread. The stopcock shouldbe fitted by a qualified plumber.

,The connection points aresubject to mains water pressure.Turn on the stopcocks slowly andcheck for leaks. Correct the positionof the washer and union ifappropriate.

Maintenance and care

Only use a Miele Waterproof systemhose should you need a replacement.

In order to protect the water inletvalve, the dirt filter in the water inletvalve connection must not beremoved.

Extension hose

A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hoseis available from your Miele dealer orthe Miele Spare Parts Department as anoptional extra.

This hose is tested to withstandpressures of up to 14000 kPa and canbe used as a flexible extension to thewater supply.


55

Connection to the water supply

The washing machine must alwaysbe connected to the mains watersupply (inlet hose with blue dots).

Cold water connection (mains watersupply)

The inlet hose with blue dots is used formains water connection.

Hot water connection

The inlet hose with red dots is used forconnection to the hot water supply.

Useful hints when connecting to the hotand cold water supply.

– The maximum temperature at thestocpcock must not exceed 60C.The ideal temperature is 55C.

– When connected to the hot (andcold) water supply, after some timethe washing machine will switch overto the mains (cold) water supply if nohot water is being supplied.However, this can lead to a poorwashing result.

The conditions for connection aredescribed on the following pages.

This appliance incorporatesbackflow protection complying withAS/NZS 3500.1.2.No further backflow protectionrequired for connection to the watersupply.


56

Connection to the drainagesystemThe machine drains via a drain pumpwith a delivery head of 1 metre*.

The drain hose must not be kinked asthis restricts drainage. The swivel elbowat the end of the hose can be turned ineither direction, or can be detached ifrequired, with a sharp twist and pull.

* For a delivery head of more than 1 m(up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a secondduo-drain pump is available with thecorresponding kit from the Miele SpareParts Department or your Miele Dealer.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin:

Please note the following

– Hook the hose over the edge andsecure.

– Make sure that the water can drainaway freely without hindrance.Otherwise there is a risk of wateroverflowing or of some of the drainedwater being sucked back into themachine.

2. Connected securely to a plastic drainpipe with a rubber nipple. There is noneed 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 beextended to a length of 5 m. Thenecessary parts can be purchasedfrom the Miele Spare Parts Departmentor your Miele dealer.
