Important safety instructions

WARNING – To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock, or injury to per-

sons when using your appliance, fol-

low basic precautions, including the

following:

1. Read all instructions before using

the appliance.

2. Do not wash articles that have

been previously cleaned in,

washed in or soaked in gasoline,

dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable or explosive sub-

stances. They give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

3. Do not allow children to play on or

in the appliance. Close supervi-

sion is necessary when the ap-

pliance is used near children.

4. Before the appliance is removed

from service or discarded, remove

the door to the washing compart-

ment.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if

the drum is moving.

6. Do not install or store this ap-

pliance where it will be exposed

to weather.

7. Do not tamper with the controls.

8. Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance, or attempt any ser-

vicing unless specifically recom-

mended in the user-maintenance

instructions or in published user-

repair instructions that you under-

stand and have the skills to carry

out.

9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, or other flammable or ex-

plosive substances to the wash

water. These substances give off

vapors that could ignite or ex-

plode.

10. Under certain conditions, hy-

drogen gas may be produced in a

hot water system that has not

been used for 2 weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water system has not

been used for such a period, be-

fore using the washing machine,

turn on all hot water faucets and

let the water flow from each for

several minutes. This will release

any accumulated hydrogen gas.

As the gas is flammable, do not

smoke or use an open flame dur-

ing this time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Refer to the Electrical Con-

nection Section for ground-

ing and installation instruc-

tions.

Important safety instructions

Help protect our environment

Warning - To reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury to persons,

read the IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-

STRUCTIONS before operating this

appliance.

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing is

mostly manufactured from the following

recycled or recyclable materials:

– corrugated paper/cardboard

– polystyrene - CFC-free

– polystyrene foil (transparent)

– Untreated wood

– Polypropylene (PP) strapping

Rather than throwing these materials

away, please take them to your com-

munity recycling center.

Disposal of your old machine

Old machines contain materials which

can be recycled. Please contact your

recycling center or scrap merchant be-

fore disposing of the appliance.

Economical usage

The key to good wash results is finding

the correct combination of detergent

and temperature, and then allowing the

washing machine to optimize their

usage through its programming. Pro-

gramme lengths can vary for this rea-

son.

With the “Hydromatic” system, the

drum can revolve at various speeds.

Faster and slower agitation speeds,

along with pauses for soaking, com-

bine to ensure excellent results.

The automatic load control feature en-

sures the correct water level for the

type of fabric and load being washed

(even though it may appear as if there

is too little water in the drum!).

Because of the accurately balanced

drum and special sound insulation, ma-

chine noise is minimal while operating.

The fully electronic controls offer a com-

bination of simple operation with many

optional features.

For instance, since a main wash gener-

ally gives good results for a normal

load, the pre-wash cycle has been

made a user selectable option, saving

time,water and energy over older full

cycle machines.

Economy

For optimum economical usage, re-

member the following tips:

– The automatic load control feature

will adjust the water level for loads

between 1 and 5 kg. However, if

possible, load the machine to its

maximum capacity in order to use

water and energy to the best advant-

age.

– Use only the correct amount of deter-

gent required for the water hardness

in your area. Miele recommends the

use of low-sudsing detergents, as

their characteristics allow them to

perform better in front-loading ma-

chine than regular powder or liquid

detergents.

If the wash is not heavily stained, select

a lower temperature than indicated on

the wash care label.

Economical usage

Preparing the Laundry

The headings numbered (1,2,3,...)

show the operating sequence and can

be used as a brief guide.

Before washing

1Prepare the wash load

Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects inadvertently left in

pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper

clips, etc.) can cause damage to

clothes and the machine. Damage

to the machine can occur if wires

from underwire bras come loose.

Do not wash underwire bras in the

machine without ensuring that wires

are secure.

Sort the laundry

Most garments have a textile care label

in the collar or side seam. Sort the

laundry by care label and color.

Only wash items that are labeled ma-

chine washable by the manufacturer.

Dark fabrics often contain “excess dye”

and should be washed separately sev-

eral times before being included in a

mixed load.

Delicate fabrics should be washed sep-

arately using a delicates programme.

Only wash wool or wool mixtures if they

are labeled machine washable on the

textile care label.

Pre-treat the laundry

Badly soiled areas (e.g. collars and

cuffs) and water soluble stains can be

pre-treated with bar soap, stain

remover, or detergent mixed into a solu-

tion or paste.

Do not use detergents containing sol-

vents in the machine.

Preparing the Laundry

2Press the “Door” button to open

the door

3Load the machine

Unfold the laundry and place it in the

drum. For best results we recommend

washing mixed loads consisting of both

large and small items. This improves

the washing effectiveness and helps

distribute the load evenly to keep the

machine stable and reduce noise dur-

ing spinning.

Recommended load sizes are noted

below:

COTTONS..................5.0kg

PERMANENT PRESS . . . . . . . . . 2.5 kg

DELICATES.................1.0kg

HANDWASH/WOOLLENS. . . . . . 1.5 kg

Rinse......................5.0kg

With curtains: Remove lead weights

and strips and place in a laundry bag.

Woollens and knitted garments should

be turned inside out if recommended

by the manufacturer.

4Close the machine door

Make sure there are no clothes caught

between the drum door and seal.

5Add detergent

See section “Adding detergent” for de-

tails.

To start a programme

1Turn the programme selector

to Start / Finish

2Press the “ON/OFF” button

3Press any additional option

buttons desired

(See the “Delay start” section if this fea-

ture is desired.)

4Select spin cycle speed

5Turn the programme selector to the

desired programme

The programme selector can be turned

to the left or the right.

Preparing the Laundry

End of programme

After washing

1Turn the programme selector

switch to “Start/Finish”

2Press the “ON/OFF” button.

3Press the “Door” button.

Do not attempt to remove laundry

from the machine if the drum is

turning. You may seriously injure

yourself. If the drum turns with

the door open, contact the Miele

Service Department.

4Remove the wash.

5Check the folds in the door seal

for any small articles such as

buttons or nails which may be

lodged there.

Make sure the drum is empty by

manually turning it completely

around or, during the next use,

items may be damaged (e.g. shrink)

or cause other laundry to discolor.

6Close the drum door.
