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, soaked in, or spotted

in gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,

other flammable or explosive sub-

stances as they give off vapors

that could ignite or explode.

3. Do not allow children to play on the

appliance. Close supervision of

children 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 the weather.

7. Do not tamper with 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 Connection

Section for Grounding on installa-

tion instructions.

Important safety instructions

Help protect our environment

Disposal of the packing ma-

terial

The transport and protective packing is

mostly manufactured from the following

recycled or re-useable materials:

– corrugated paper/cardboard

– polystyrene - CFC-free

– polyethylene 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

WARNING – To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock, or injury to per-

sons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS before operating

this appliance.

The key to good wash results is select-

ing the correct combination of deter-

gent and temperature, and then allow-

ing the washing machine to optimize

their usage through its programming.

Programme lengths can vary for this

reason: With the “Hydromatic” system,

the drum can revolve at various

speeds. Faster and slower agitation

speeds along with pauses for soaking,

combine to assure excellent results.

The automatic load control feature en-

sures the correct water level for the

type of fabric and size of 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 when running.

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 remem-

ber 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 powder deter-

gents, as their characteristics allow

them to perform better in front-load-

ing machines than regular powder or

liquid detergents.

– If the wash is not heavily soiled, se-

lect a lower temperature than indi-

cated on the wash care label, but do

not use the “Short” option.

– Alternatively, for lightly soiled loads,

use the “Short” option with no reduc-

tion in temperature.

Economical usage

Before using for the first time

Important:

The appliance must be properly in-

stalled and connected to the water

and electrical supply in accordance

with local and national codes.

Installation instructions can be found

on pages 33 - 37.

Make sure the transport struts on

the rear of the washer have been

removed.

Any residual water left in the

machine from the testing pro-

cess should be flushed out as

follows:

Do not put any laundry in the ma-

chine.

Add a small amount of detergent to

compartment j.

Turn on the machine.

Turn the programme selector to the

“COTTONS 60°C” programme.

Press the “Short” button.

Any residues will be flushed out dur-

ing the course of the programme.

Water hardness reminder

The amount of detergent to use can de-

pend on various factors, including the

water hardness level in your area. You

can set the water hardness dial in the

detergent dispenser box as a reminder

of the water hardness level in your area.

Turn the dial to the applicable water

hardness range 1-4.

Use the tool supplied with the ma-

chine. It is located behind the deter-

gent drawer door, on the left hand

side (see page 24).

Before using for the first time

Preparing the laundry

Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects inadvertently left in

pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper

clips,etc.) can cause damage to

clothes and the machine.

Sort the laundry

Most garments have a textile care label

in the collar or side seam. Sort the

laundry by care label.

Dark textiles often contain “excess

dye” and should be washed separately

several times before being included in

a mixed load.

Delicate textiles should be washed sep-

arately using a delicates programme.

Pre-treating the laundry

Badly soiled areas (e.g. collars and

cuffs) and water soluble stains can be

pre-treated with bar soap, liquid stain

pre-treatment or detergent mixed into a

solution or paste.

Do not use detergents containing sol-

vents in the machine.

Loading the machine

Unfold the laundry and place in the

drum. To achieve best results it is advis-

able to make up mixed loads consist-

ing of both large and small items. This

improves the washing effect 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. . . . . . . . . 2.0 kg

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

WOOLLENS................ 1.0kg

QUICKWASH............... 2.5kg

With curtains: Remove lead weights or

strips and place in a laundry bag.

Woollens and knitted garments should

be turned inside out if recommended

by the manufacturer.

Close the machine door

Make sure there are no clothes caught

between the drum door and seal.

Preparing the laundry

Textile care symbols

The textile care symbols on clothing in-

dicate the maximum temperature at

which the clothing should be washed

and are a good guideline when choos-

ing a programme. In choosing a pro-

gramme, it can be taken into account

that front-loading machines are gentler

on clothing than most top-loading, verti-

cal tub machines.

Do not use chlorine bleach!

Chlorine bleach will damage the ma-

chine.

The following is an explanation of textile

care symbols:
