Important safety instructions

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury to persons

while using your appliance, follow basic

safety precautions, including the follow-

ing:

1. Read the instructions before using

the appliance.

2. Do not wash materials that have

been previously cleaned or soaked

in gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or

other flammable or explosive sub-

stances. Do not add gasoline, dry

cleaning solvents, or other flamm-

able or explosive substances to the

wash water. These substances give

off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

3. Do not allow children to play on or in

the appliance. Close supervision is

necessary when the appliance is

used near children.

4. Before discarding an old appliance

unplug the unit and remove the

power cord. Also, remove the door to

the wash compartment to prevent

if from becoming a hazard.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if

the drum is moving.

6. This appliance should never be in-

stalled or stored outdoors.

7. Do not tamper with the controls.

8. Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance, or attempt any servic-

ing unless specifically recommended

in these Operating instructions.

9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, or other flammable or

explosive substances to the wash

water. These subtances give off

vapors that could ignite or explode.

10. Under certain conditions, hydro-

gen 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 built up hydrogen gas.

As the gas is flammable, do not

smoke or use an open flame

during this time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For installation and grounding

instructions, refer to the Elec-

trical Connection Section of

this manual.

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

–- CFC free polystyrene

– polystyrene foil (transparent)

– Untreated wood

– Polypropylene (PP) strapping

Rather than throwing these materials

away, please take them to your commu-

nity recycling center.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials that

can be recycled. Please contact your

local recycling center about the possi-

bility of recycling these materials.

Before discarding an old appliance,

unplug it from the outlet and cut off

its power cord and remove any

doors to prevent it from becoming a

hazard.

Before using the first time

Since all Miele washing machines are

tested for proper operation before leav-

ing the factory, some residual water

may be left inside.

As this water is not visible, we recom-

mend you perform the following steps

before you use your new machine for

the first time, or if it has been in storage

for more than a few weeks between

uses.

^Do not put any laundry in the ma-

chine.

^Add a small amount of detergent to

compartment j.

^Turn “On” the machine.

^Press the “Rapid wash” button.

^Turn the dial to “COTTONS 140°F”.

The machine will start to run and will

flush out any residual water that may be

inside.

Help protect our environment

Optimal 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 us-

age through its programming. Program

lengths can vary for this reason.

The fully electronic controls offer a com-

bination of simple operation with many

optional features. For instance, since a

main wash generally gives good results

for a normal load, the pre-wash cycle

has been made a user selectable op-

tion, saving time,water and energy over

older full cycle machines.

With the „Hydromatic“ system, the

drum can revolve at various speeds.

Faster and slower agitation speeds

along with pauses for soaking, combine

to ensure excellent wash 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!).

Operational noise, no matter what pro-

gram is selected, is minimized through

the use of an accurately balanced drum

and special sound insulation.

Economy

To conserve energy the following tips:

–The automatic load control feature

will adjust the water level for loads up

to 13 lbs (6kg). Washing with the

maximum load specified for each

program water and energy saves.

–Use the correct amount of detergent

required for the water hardness in

your area. Miele recommends the

use of powder detergents, as their

characteristics allow them to perform

better in this machine than liquid de-

tergents.

If the wash is not heavily stained, select

a lower temperature than indicated on

the wash care label.

Optimal 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 accidentally left in

pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper

clips, etc.) can damage clothes and

the machine.

^Sort the laundry

Only wash items that are labeled ma-

chine washable by the manufacturer.

Some garments will have a Fabric care

label in the collar or side seam. If so,

sort the laundry by care label and color.

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 the FINE/DELICATES pro-

gram.

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 re-

mover, or detergent mixed into a solu-

tion or paste.

Do not use detergents containing sol-

vents in the machine.

^For curtains: Remove any lead

weights or strips.

Woolens and knitted garments should

be turned inside out if recommended

by the manufacturer.

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

washing effectiveness and helps dis-

tribute the load evenly to keep the ma-

chine stable and reduce noise during

spinning.

Recommended load sizes are noted

below:

COTTONS. . . . . . . . . . . . 13 lbs (6.0 kg)

PERMANENT PRESS. . . 6.5 lbs (3.0 kg)

FINE/DELICATES. . . . . . 3.5 lbs (1.5 kg)

WOOLENS. . . . . . . . . . . 4.5 lbs (2.0 kg)

FINE RINSE . . . . . . . . . . 6.5 lbs (3.0 kg)

4Close the machine door

Make sure there are no clothes caught

between the drum door and seal.

5Add detergent

See the “Adding detergent” section for

details.

To start a program

1Turn the program selector

to Finish / Start

2Press the “ON/OFF” button

3Press any desired “Additional

function” pushbuttons

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

ture is desired.)

4Select the final spin speed

5Turn the program selector to the

desired program

The program selector can be turned to

the left or the right.

Preparing the Laundry

End of Program

After washing

1Turn the program selector switch

to “Finish/Start”

2Press the “ON/OFF” button.

3Press the “Door” button.

Do not attempt to remove laundry

from the machine if the drum is turn-

ing. You may seriously injure your-

self. If the drum turns with the door

open, contact the Miele Service De-

partment.

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. Items inadvertently left in

the machine may be damaged (e.g.

shrink) or cause discoloration of

other laundry during the next wash

cycle.

6Close the drum door.
