Correct use

Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a riskof frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the elec-tronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezingpoint.

Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transitbars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installationand connection - Removing the transit bars"). During spinning, atransit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both themachine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length oftime (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the im-mediate vicinity.

Flooding danger. If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water candrain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Makesure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowingout of the hose does not dislodge it.

Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, pa-per clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds con-tainer, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

The maximum load for this washing machine is 7 kg (dry weight).See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loadsfor individual programmes.

Energy and water consumption

– Water consumption and energy us-age are determined by the size of theload.To make the most of your machine,load the maximum dry load for theprogramme you are using.

– When smaller amounts of laundry arewashed, the automatic load controlwill reduce the amount of water andenergy used.

– Use the Express 20 programme forsmall, lightly soiled loads.

– Modern detergents make it possibleto wash at lower temperatures (e.g.20 °C). Washing using lower temper-ature settings will save energy.

– To maintain the hygiene of the ma-chine, carry out a hot wash (above60 °C) at regular intervals. The in-dicator will light to remind you tocarry out a hot wash.

Detergent

– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-gent recommended by the manufac-turer on the packaging.

– Adjust the dosage to the degree ofsoiling of the laundry.

– Reduce the amount of detergent withsmaller loads (approx. ⅓ less thanthe amount recommended can beused when washing a half load).

Choosing the correct extra option(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)

Select:

– A wash programme together with theShort extra option for light to normalsoiling where there are no obviousmarks.

– A wash programme without any extraoptions for normal to heavy soilingwith visible staining.

– A wash programme together with theSoak extra option for heavily soiledlaundry.

– The Pre-wash extra option for laundrywith large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,sand).

When drying with a tumble dryer

Selecting the highest possible spinspeed for the wash programme willsave energy when drying in a tumbledryer afterwards.

1. Prepare the laundry

19

Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,paper clips, etc.) can cause damageto garments and to components inthe machine.Check the laundry before washingand remove any foreign objects.

Sort the laundry

Sort the laundry by colour and bycare label. Most garments have a tex-tile care label in the collar or sideseam.

Tip: Dark textiles often contain excessdye and should be washed separatelyseveral times before being included in amixed load. Always wash whites andcoloureds separately.

Pre-treat stains

Badly soiled areas, stains etc. shouldbe cleaned as soon as possible,preferably whilst still fresh. Spillagesshould be carefully dabbed off usinga soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.

Tip: Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain re-movers etc. first, following the manu-facturer's instructions. With particularlystubborn stains ask your dry cleaner foradvice.

Solvent-based cleaners (e.g.benzine) can damage plastic parts.When pre-treating garments, makesure that any plastic parts (e.g. but-tons) are protected from cleaningagent.

Chemical (solvent-based) clean-ing agents can cause severe damageto the washing machine.Do not use solvent-based cleaningagents in this machine.

General tips

– Curtains: Remove lead weights firstor place in a laundry bag.

– Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Anyloose wiring in bras, shirt collarstiffeners, etc. should be removed orsewn in.

– Close any zips, attach velcro fasten-ers, fasten hooks and eyes etc. be-fore washing.

– Fasten duvet covers, pillow casesetc. to prevent small items from beingrolled up inside them.

2. Load the washing machine

20

Open the door

Reach under the door grip and pullthe door open.

Check the drum for pets or foreignobjects before loading it with laun-dry.

The most efficient use of energy andwater is achieved when a full load iswashed. However, do not overload asthis reduces cleaning efficiency andcauses creases.

Unfold the laundry and load looselyinto the drum.

Mixing both large and small itemsgives better wash results and alsohelps distribute the load evenly duringspinning.

Tip: Please note the maximum load fordifferent wash programmes.

Close the door

Make sure that no items are caughtbetween the door and the seal.

4. Add detergent

23

Detergent dispenser drawerAny detergent suitable for automaticfront loading washing machines can beused. Please observe the instructionsfor use and dosage on the detergentpackaging.

Tips on dosing

Adjust the detergent dosage to the levelof soiling of the laundry and the size ofthe load. Reduce the amount of deter-gent with smaller loads (e.g. reduce theamount of detergent by ⅓ when wash-ing a half load).

Too little detergent:

– Results in laundry not being cleanedproperly and may cause it to becomegrey and hard to the touch over time.

– Can lead to a build-up of mould inthe washing machine.

– Results in grease not being com-pletely removed from the laundry.

– Can lead to limescale deposits on theheater elements.

Too much detergent

– Causes poor wash, rinse, and spinresults.

– Causes higher water consumption asan extra rinse cycle is automaticallyactivated.

– Is a greater burden on the environ-ment.

Adding detergent

Pull out the detergent drawer and adddetergent to the compartments.

The right amount to dispensewill depend on the following:– the soiling level of the load

– the quantity of the laundry

– the water hardness level.Check with your local water supplierif you do not know the hardness levelin your area.

Water softenersA water softener can be used to cutdown on the use of detergents in areaswith water hardness levels II and III.Dispense according to the amount spe-cified on the packaging. First add deter-gent and then the water softener.

You can then use the recommendedamount of detergent for water hardnesslevel I.

The machine shakesduring the spin cycle.

The machine feet are not level. Level the machine and adjust the feet correctly.

The laundry has notbeen spun properly andis still wet.

The machine detected an imbalance during the finalspin cycle and reduced the spin speed automatically. Include both large and small items in the load as

this will give better distribution during spinning.

Strange pump noisescan be heard.

This is not a fault.These slurping noises occur at the end of the pumpsequence as a normal part of operation.

Large amounts of deter-gent residue remain inthe detergent dispenserdrawer.

The water pressure is too low. Clean the water inlet filter. It may be useful to select the Water plus option.

Powder detergent used in conjunction with watersofteners tends to become sticky. In future, add washing powder into the dispenser

General problems with the washing machine

Problem Cause and remedy

Fabric conditioner is notcompletely dispensedor too much water re-mains in the com-partment.

The siphon tube is not correctly positioned or isclogged. Clean the siphon, see "Cleaning and care - Clean-

ing the detergent dispenser drawer".

At the end of the pro-gramme there is still li-quid in the capsule.

The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer ontowhich 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 tothe capsule in the fabricconditioner compart-ment.

The Cap sensor was not activated or an emptycapsule 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 ontowhich the capsule is placed is blocked. Clean the small pipe.

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Cause and remedy

Liquid detergent doesnot give the requiredresult.

Liquid detergents usually contain no bleachingagents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and teastains. 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 particlescling to washed laundry.

Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to breakdown 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 aload.

White residues whichlook like powder deter-gent are seen on darktextiles after washing.

The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aidwater softening which are not soluble in water. Thesehave 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 containno zeolites.

Use the Dark garments / Denim programme fordark coloured laundry.

Opening the door in the eventof a blocked drain outlet and/or power failure Switch off the washing machine.

Open the drain pump access panel.

Blocked drain outlet

If the drain outlet is blocked, a largequantity of water can remain in thewashing machine.

If laundry has been washed at ahigh temperature, water draining outof the machine will still be hot.Danger of scalding!Take care when draining the ma-chine.

Procedure for draining the washingmachine

When draining water from the ma-chine, do not unscrew the drain filtercompletely or take it right out.

Place a suitable container, e.g. aMiele universal oven tray under theaccess panel.

Slowly and carefully unscrew the filterto let the water out. Be careful not torelease too much water at once. If theflow of water is too strong, some wa-ter can seep into the washing ma-chine base and activate the waterprotection float switch. This will pre-vent the washing machine from func-tioning.

Tighten the drain filter back up againif you need to interrupt the flow ofwater.

Once the flow of water ceases:

Remove the drain filter completely.

Clean it thoroughly.

Remove any foreign objects (e.g. but-tons, coins, etc.) and fluff from the fil-ter housing. Turn the impeller by handto check that it rotates freely.

Replace the drain filter correctly andtighten it securely.

Make sure the drain filter is se-curely tightened. Otherwise there is arisk of water leakage during use.

Opening the door

Always make sure that the drumis stationary before reaching in to re-move laundry. Reaching into a mov-ing drum is extremely dangerous.

Installation surfaceA concrete floor is the most suitable in-stallation surface for a washing ma-chine, being far less prone to vibrationduring the spin cycle than woodenfloorboards 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 installedon soft floor coverings.

If installing on a wooden joist floor:

We recommend a plywood base atleast 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The baseshould span several joists and bebolted to the joist and not only thefloorboards. Check for the presenceof pipes and cables first.

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

There is the danger of the wash-ing machine moving about duringspinning and falling off a plinth.For this reason, if the machine is in-stalled on a raised plinth (concrete orbrick), it has to be secured againstslippage using an MTS floor/plinthmounting kit (available from Miele).

Transporting the washing ma-chine to its installation site

Make sure the fixings at the backof the lid are secure.Otherwise there is a danger of the lidbeing pulled off when carrying themachine.Before carrying the machine checkthat the lid is secure where it pro-trudes at the back of the machine.

Carry the washing machine by thefront feet and the protruding lid at theback.

Removing the transit bars

The water protection systemThe Miele water protection system pro-tects all parts of the washing machinefrom water damage.

The system consists of three main com-ponents:

– the inlet hose

– the electronic unit and drainage andoverflow protection

– the drain hose

Inlet hose

– Protection against bursting

The inlet hose is tested to withstandpressure of at least 7,000 kPa.

Electronic unit and washing machinehousing

– SumpAny leaking water is collected in asump in the base of the machine. Afloat switches off the water inletvalves, preventing any more waterfrom flowing into the machine andwater in the suds container ispumped away.

– Overflow protectionThis prevents the washing machinetaking in too much water. If the waterlevel exceeds a certain level, thedrain pump switches in and pumpsthe excess water away.

Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by a ventila-tion system which prevents the washingmachine from being emptied com-pletely.
