Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the washing machine 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. 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.

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines often contain valuable materials. They also 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 machine. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your Dealer for advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

This washing machine complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

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 instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future user.

Correct application

This washing machine is intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments.
The washing machine is not intended for outdoor use.
It must be used only as a domestic appliance to wash items which are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the wash care label. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
The washing machine can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

Safety with children

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the washing machine unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the washing machine unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washing machine unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine and do not let them play with it.

Technical safety

Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection" and "Technical data".
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.
Before connecting the communication module, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the wiring system of the building tested by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
- Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the risk of overheating).
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. 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.
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 guarantee.
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 100kPa and should not exceed 1000kPa .

Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation and connection - 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.

Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated.
The maximum load for this washing machine is 8kg (dry weight). See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.
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-shop.com 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.

The washing machine has an integrated detergent dispensing unit.

The TwinDos system can be used in two ways:

1. with the Miele 2 Phase System or
2. with any other liquid detergent and/or fabric conditioner.

The Miele 2 Phase system

The Miele 2 Phase system uses a base detergent (UltraPhase 1) and a detergent enhancer (UltraPhase 2). In order to achieve optimum results, the agents are dispensed separately during the wash process. The 2 Phase system cleans both white and coloured textiles thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 single use cartridges are available to order from Miele or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (see end of this booklet for contact details).

Liquid detergent/Fabric conditioner

Refillable TwinDos containers are required for liquid detergent and/or fabric conditioner. These are available to order from Miele or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (see end of this booklet for details).

How TwinDos works

Automatic detergent dispensing for a wash cycle is activated via the Dos sensor.

Tip: The washing machine is delivered pre-set for the Miele 2 Phase system for hardness range II (F).

The settings only need to be changed if you wish to use a different detergent or if the water hardness is different.

See "Settings - TwinDos" for more information.

Automatic dispensing cannot be selected with some programmes, depending on the detergent present in the TwinDos system. For example, automatic dispensing cannot be activated for the Woollens programme if the Miele 2 Phase system is being used. This prevents woollen garments being damaged by a detergent which is not suitable for washing wool.

Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water consumption

Water consumption and energy usage 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 recognition system 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^ ). Washing using lower temperature settings will save energy.
- To maintain the hygiene of the machine, carry out a hot wash (60 °C or above) using powder detergent at regular intervals. Hygiene info will appear in the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash.

Detergent

• For precise dispensing use automatic detergent dispensing.
• Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry.
• Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

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.

EcoFeedback

You can call up information about the energy and water consumption of your washing machine with the EcoFeedback sensor.

The following information will appear in the display:

• an estimate of the energy and water consumption before the programme begins.
• the actual energy and water consumption during the programme or at the end of the programme.

1. Estimate

After selecting a programme, touch the EcoFeedback sensor.

The estimated energy consumption levels will be displayed as a bar chart.

Energy

• Touch the or sensor to change to the estimated water consumption levels.

Water

The more bars (■) visible, the higher the energy or water consumption.

The estimate will vary depending on the wash programme, temperature and any options selected.

The display will change automatically or you can return to the standard display by touching the OK sensor.

2. Actual consumption

You can view the actual amount of energy and water used by the programme which has just been run both during and at the end of the programme.

Touch the EcoFeedback sensor.

Energy

0,9 kWh

• Touch the or to switch to the water consumption display.

The consumption will alter as the programme progresses.

If the door is opened or the washing machine has switched off automatically at the end of the programme, the data will revert to the estimated consumption.

Tip: You can view the consumption data for the last wash programme in Settings under Consumption.

1. Prepare the laundry

Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and to 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-treat stains

Badly soiled areas, stains etc. 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.

Tip: Badly soiled areas can be pretreated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturer's instructions. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

Solvent-based cleaners (e.g. benzine) can damage plastic parts. When pre-treating garments, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) are protected from cleaning agent.

Chemical (solvent-based) cleaning agents can cause severe damage to the washing machine.

Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this 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).

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.

Water hardness levels

Hardness scale	Hardness level in mmol/l	German scale °d
I (soft)	0 – 1.5	0 – 8.4
II (medium)	1.5 – 2.5	8.4 – 14
III (hard)	above 2.5	above 14

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.

General problems with the washing machine

Problem	Cause and remedy
At the end of the pro- gramme there is still li- quid in the capsule.	The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer onto which the capsule is placed is blocked. ■ Clean the small pipe.
	This is not a fault. For technical reasons a small amount of water will re- main in the capsule.
There is water next to the capsule in the fabric conditioner compa- ment.	The Cap □ sensor was not activated or an empty capsule was not removed at the end of the last pro- gramme. ■ Make sure that you remember to activate the Cap □ sensor the next time you insert a capsule. ■ Remove and then dispose of the empty capsule at the end of each programme.
	The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer onto which the capsule is placed is blocked. ■ Clean the small pipe.
The display is in a dif- ferent language.	A different language has been selected in "Settings, Language □". ■ Set the language you want. The flag symbol will guide you.

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 the Miele 2 Phase System. The targeted addition of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process removes stains effectively. ■ Use a general purpose powder detergent containing a bleaching agent.
Grey, greasy particles cling to washed laundry.	Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry. ■ Use more detergent. ■ Before washing the next load, run the Maintenance wash using Miele machine cleaner or a powder de-tergent.
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 contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain no zeolites. ■ Use the Dark garments / Denim programme for dark coloured laundry.

The door will not open

Problem	Cause and remedy
The door cannot be pulled open during a programme.	The drum is locked during a programme. ■ Press the Start/Stop button. ■ Use the √ sensor to select Cancel programme or Add laundry. The door will unlock and you will be able to pull it open.
	There is still water in the drum and the machine is un-able to drain. ■ Clean the drain filter and the drain pump as described in "Opening the door in the event of a blocked drain outlet and/or power failure".
	The water level in the drum is too high. ■ Cancel the programme. The water will be pumped away.
Comfort cooling appears in the display after a programme has been cancelled.	For safety reasons the drum door cannot be opened if the suds temperature is higher than 55 °C. ■ Wait until the temperature in the drum has decreased and the message has gone out in the display.
The following appears in the display: ▲ Service Door release	The door lock has jammed. ■ Call the Service Department.

Opening the door in the event of a blocked drain outlet and/or power failure

Switch off the washing machine.

Press the drain pump access panel.

The panel will spring open.

Blocked drain outlet

If the drain outlet is blocked, a large quantity of water can remain in the washing machine.

If laundry has been washed at a high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot. Danger of scalding! Take care when draining the machine.

Procedure for draining the washing machine

When draining water from the machine, do not unscrew the drain filter completely or take it right out.

• Place a suitable container, e.g. a Miele universal oven tray under the access panel.

Slowly and carefully unscrew the filter to let the water out. Be careful not to release too much water at once. If the flow of water is too strong, some water can seep into the washing machine base and activate the water protection float switch. This will prevent the washing machine from functioning.
- Tighten the drain filter back up again if you need to interrupt the flow of water.

Once the flow of water ceases:

Remove the drain filter completely.
Clean it thoroughly.

• Remove any foreign objects (e.g. buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff from the filter housing. Turn the impeller by hand to check that it rotates freely.
• Replace the drain filter correctly and tighten it securely.

Make sure the drain filter is securely tightened. Otherwise there is a risk of water leakage during use.

Opening the door

Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Use a screwdriver to unlock the door.
Pull open the door.

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing machine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.

Please note:

The machine must be level and securely 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 59 × 52 × 3 ~cm . The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joist and not only the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first.

Tip: If possible, install the machine in a corner, as this is usually the most stable part of the floor.

There is the danger of the washing machine moving about during spinning and falling off a plinth. For this reason, if the machine is installed on a raised plinth (concrete or brick), it has to be secured against slippage using an MTS floor/plinth mounting kit (available from Miele).

Transporting the washing machine to its installation site

To manoeuvre the washing machine out of its packing case to its installation site, hold it by the front feet as well as by the edge of the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the machine.

Ensure that the machine feet and the floor are dry to prevent the machine from slipping during the spin cycle.

Removing the transit bars

To remove the left and right covers

1. Pull on the attached stopper,
2. then use a screwdriver to release the catches at the top and bottom.

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

Turn the right-hand transit bar 90^ , then

pull the transit bar out.

pull the transit bar out.

To avoid the risk of injury, the holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed.

Plug the holes with the plastic caps as illustrated.

• Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure the top catch is located above the holder.

The washing machine must not be moved without the transit bars in place. Store them as shown or keep them in a safe place for future use. They must be re-fitted if the machine is to be moved again (e.g. when moving house).

Re-fitting the transit bars

Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the procedure.

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 to level the machine. All four feet are screwed in when the machine is delivered.

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

Use a spirit 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.

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 a danger of the machine moving about.

Building under a continuous worktop/ in a kitchen run

Building under kits* must only be installed/dismantled by a suitably qualified fitter in accordance with the instructions supplied.

• A special building under kit* with a cover plate to replace the machine lid is required. It must be fitted by a suitably qualified fitter to ensure electrical safety. N.B. If there is space to push the washing machine under the worktop without removing the lid, the building under kit is not necessary. Otherwise it is essential.
• Connections for electricity, water and drainage should be installed in such a way that they remain accessible when the machine is in its final position.

Fitting instructions are supplied with the conversion kit.

Washer-dryer stack

The washing machine can be combined with a Miele tumble dryer in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate "WTV" stacking kit* to match your dryer is required.

All parts marked* are available from your Dealer or Miele.

Please note:

a = at least 2 cm
b = WTV without drawer: 172 cm
WTV with drawer: 181 cm
c = 64 cm

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 muds 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.

Connection to the water supply

The washing machine should be connected to a 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 machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1,000kPa . If it is higher than 1,000kPa it is essential to fit a pressure reducing valve.

Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock with 3 / 4" threaded union. The stopcock should be fitted by a qualified plumber.

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 washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.

Maintenance

Only use a genuine Miele hose should you ever need a replacement or extension. These are tested to withstand pressure of at least 7,000 kPa.

In order to protect the water inlet valve, the two dirt filters (one in the open end of the inlet hose, the other in the inlet point in the machine) must not be removed.

Extension hose

Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0m in length are available from your Miele Dealer or Miele as optional extras.

Connection to the drainage system

The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The drain hose 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. If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 5m . The necessary parts can be purchased from your Miele Dealer or Miele.

• 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 or your Miele Dealer for advice. If necessary, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 2.5 m. The necessary parts can be purchased from your Miele Dealer or Miele.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin.

Please note the following:

• Hook the hose over the edge and secure.

• Make sure that the water can drain away freely without hindrance. Otherwise there is a risk of water overflowing or of some of the drained water being sucked back into the machine.

• Connected securely to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no need to use a non-return valve.

• Connected securely to a floor guilty.

• Connected securely to a standpipe.

Please note:

① Adapter
② Nut
③ Hose clip
④ End of the hose

Fit adapter ① to the sink drain outlet using nut ②.
- Attach the end of the hose ④ to adapter ①.
Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip up close to the nut.

Electrical connection U.K.

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out.

The appliance is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a 230-240V mains supply.

Please ensure the connection data quoted on the data plate match the household mains supply.

Suds cooling takes place when a temperature of 70^ or higher is selected for the Cottons programme.

Suds cooling should be activated:

• to prevent the danger of scalding if the drain hose is hooked over the edge of a sink or basin.
• where drainage pipes do not comply with DIN 1986.

Factory default setting: Suds cooling is switched off.

Low water pressure

If the water pressure is less than 1 bar (100 kPa) the programme will be cancelled and the fault message Water intake See will appear.

If the on-site water pressure cannot be increased, activating this function will prevent the programme from being cancelled.

Factory default setting: Low water pressure is switched off.

Anti-crease

The anti-crease function helps prevent creasing if laundry is not going to be removed immediately after the end of the programme.

The drum continues to turn at intervals for up to 30 minutes at the end of the programme. The door can be opened at any time.

Factory default setting: anti-crease is switched on.
