TwinDos

21

The washing machine has an integrateddetergent dispensing unit.

The TwinDos system can be used intwo ways:

1. with the Miele 2 Phase System

or

2. with any other liquid detergent and/orfabric conditioner.

The Miele 2 Phase system

The Miele 2 Phase system uses a basedetergent (UltraPhase 1) and adetergent enhancer (UltraPhase 2). Inorder to achieve optimum results, theagents are dispensed separately duringthe wash process. The 2 Phase systemcleans both white and coloured textilesthoroughly. UltraPhase 1 andUltraPhase 2 single use cartridges areavailable to order from Miele or via theinternet at www.miele-shop.com (seeend of this booklet for contact details).

Liquid detergent/Fabric conditioner

Refillable TwinDos containers arerequired for liquid detergent and/orfabric conditioner. These are availableto order from Miele or via the internet atwww.miele-shop.com (see end of thisbooklet for details).

How TwinDos works

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

Tip: The washing machine is deliveredpre-set for the Miele 2 Phase system forhardness range II ().

The settings only need to be changed ifyou wish to use a different detergent orif the water hardness is different.See "Settings - TwinDos" for moreinformation.

Automatic dispensing cannot beselected with some programmes,depending on the detergent present inthe TwinDos system. For example,automatic dispensing cannot beactivated for the Woollens programme ifthe Miele 2 Phase system is beingused. This prevents woollen garmentsbeing damaged by a detergent which isnot suitable for washing wool.

Energy and water consumption

– Water consumption and energyusage are determined by the size ofthe load. 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 loadrecognition system will reduce theamount of water and energy 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 lowertemperature settings will save energy.

– To maintain the hygiene of themachine, carry out a hot wash (60 °Cor above) using powder detergent atregular intervals. Hygiene info willappear in the display to remind youto carry out a hot wash.

Detergent

– For precise dispensing use automaticdetergent dispensing.

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

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

When drying with a tumble dryer

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

General problems with the washing machine


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 ofdetergent residueremain in the detergentdispenser drawer.

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

drawer first, and then add the water softener.

Fabric conditioner is notcompletely dispensedor too much waterremains in the compartment.

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

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer".

At the end of theprogramme there is stillliquid 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 willremain in the capsule.

66

An unsatisfactory wash result


Liquid detergent doesnot give the requiredresult.

Liquid detergents usually contain no bleachingagents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and teastains. Use the Miele 2 Phase System. The targeted

addition of UltraPhase 2 during the wash processremoves stains effectively.

Use a general purpose powder detergentcontaining a bleaching agent.

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 the Maintenance

wash using Miele machine cleaner or a powderdetergent.

White residues whichlook like powderdetergent are seen ondark textiles afterwashing.

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

contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usuallycontain no zeolites.

Use the Dark garments / Denim programme fordark coloured laundry.

Procedure for draining the washingmachine

When draining water from themachine, do not unscrew the drainfilter completely 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, somewater can seep into the washingmachine base and activate the waterprotection float switch. This willprevent the washing machine fromfunctioning.

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

Once the flow of water ceases:


69

Remove the drain filter completely.

Clean it thoroughly.

Remove any foreign objects (e.g.buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff from thefilter housing. Turn the impeller byhand to check that it rotates freely.

Replace the drain filter correctly andtighten it securely.

Make sure the drain filter issecurely tightened. Otherwise thereis a risk of water leakage during use.

Opening the door

Always make sure that the drumis stationary before reaching in toremove laundry. Reaching into amoving drum is extremelydangerous.

Use a screwdriver to unlock the door.

Pull open the door.

73

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 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 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 thewashing machine moving aboutduring spinning and falling off aplinth.For this reason, if the machine isinstalled on a raised plinth (concreteor brick), it has to be secured againstslippage using an MTS floor/plinthmounting kit (available from Miele).

Transporting the washingmachine 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 itprotrudes at the back of themachine.

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

Removing the transit bars

To remove the left and right covers

1. Pull on the attached stopper,

2. then use a screwdriver to release thecatches at the top and bottom.


74

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

pull the transit bar out.

Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,then

pull the transit bar out.


75

To avoid the risk of injury, theholes for the transit bars must becovered after the transit bars havebeen removed.

Plug the holes with the plastic capsas illustrated.

Secure the transit bars to the back ofthe washing machine. Make sure thetop catch is located above the holder.

The washing machine must notbe moved without the transit bars inplace. Store them as shown or keepthem in a safe place for future use.They must be re-fitted if the machineis to be moved again (e.g. whenmoving house).

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


76

Levelling the machineThe washing machine must standperfectly level on all four feet to ensuresafe and proper operation.

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

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 clockwise direction.Then turn counter nut 2 together withfoot 1 to unscrew.

Use a spirit level to check that thewashing machine is standing level.

Hold foot 1 securely with a pipewrench. Turn counter nut 2 againusing the spanner supplied until it sitsfirmly 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 a danger of the machinemoving about.


77

Building under a continuousworktop/ in a kitchen run

Building under kits* must only beinstalled/dismantled by a suitablyqualified fitter in accordance with theinstructions supplied.

– A special building under kit* with acover plate to replace the machine lidis required. It must be fitted by asuitably qualified fitter to ensureelectrical safety. N.B. If there is spaceto push the washing machine underthe worktop without removing the lid,the building under kit is notnecessary. Otherwise it is essential.

– Connections for electricity, water anddrainage should be installed in such away that they remain accessiblewhen the machine is in its finalposition.

Fitting instructions are supplied with theconversion kit.

Washer-dryer stack

The washing machine can be combinedwith a Miele tumble dryer in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate "WTV"stacking kit* to match your dryer isrequired.

All parts marked* are available fromyour Dealer or Miele.

Please note:

b = WTV without drawer: 172 cmWTV with drawer: 181 cm

c = 64 cm


78

The water protection systemThe Miele water protection systemprotects all parts of the washingmachine from water damage.

The system consists of three maincomponents:

– 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 aventilation system which prevents thewashing machine from being emptiedcompletely.


79

Connection to the water supplyThe washing machine should beconnected to a mains water supply inaccordance with current local andnational safety regulations. The Germanauthorities do not require it to have anon-return valve as the washingmachine has been designed to complywith DIN regulations.

The machine is designed to operatewith a flow pressure of between 100and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a pressurereducing valve.

Connection to the mains water supplyshould incorporate a mains stopcockwith ¾" threaded union. The stopcockshould be fitted by a qualified plumber.

The connection point is subjectto mains water pressure. Turn on thestopcock slowly and check for leaks.Correct the position of the washerand union if appropriate.

The washing machine is not suitablefor connection to a hot water supply.

Maintenance

Only use a genuine Miele hose shouldyou ever need a replacement orextension. These are tested towithstand pressure of at least7,000 kPa.

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

Extension hose

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


80

DrainageThe suds are drained through a drainpump with a 1 m delivery head. For thewater to drain freely, the hose must beinstalled free of kinks. The elbow piecesupplied hooks onto the end of thehose.If required, the hose can be extended toa length of up to 5 m. The necessaryparts can be ordered from Miele.

For a delivery head of more than 1 m(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacementdrain pump will need to be fitted.Please contact Miele for advice.If required, the hose can be extended toa length of up to 2.5 m. The necessaryparts can be ordered from Miele.

Drainage options:

1. Directed into a sink or basin:

Please note:

– Hook the hose over the edge andsecure it.

– If the water is pumped into awashbasin, make sure that it candrain away freely. Otherwise thereis a risk of water overflowing or ofsome of the drained water beingsucked back into the machine.

2. Connected securely to a plastic drainpipe with a rubber nipple (there is noneed to use a siphon).

3. Connected securely to a floor gully.

4. Connected securely to a washbasinwith a plastic nipple.
