Display The display shows: the programme duration (Time left display) delay start the programmable functions Programme duration After the start of a programme, the estimated programme duration will appear in the display in hours and minutes. When delay start is being used, the programme duration will appear after the delay start time has elapsed. During the first 10 minutes the washing machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry and uses this to calculate the load. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate. Delay start The delay start time selected will appear in the display. After the machine has started, the delay start time counts down. If the delay start time is more than 10 hours, it will count down by the hour. If it is less than 9 hours and 59 minutes it will count down minute by minute. Once the delay start time has finished, the programme begins and the estimated programme duration shows in the display. Programmable functions The programmable functions can be used to tailor washing programmes to suit your individual requirements. In programming mode, the display will show the function selected.

Tips for allergy sufferers

Fabrics

Wash fabrics which will be worn directly against the skin, e.g. underwear, baby clothes, socks etc., at a temperature of at least 60C or the maximum temperature indicated on the garment care label. The Hygiene +95C programme uses very high temperatures to deactivate germs and household dust mites rapidly. Check the care labels in garments before using it! The Hygiene + 60C programme has a longer temperature holding time in the main wash to deactivate germs and household dust mites. When buying garments, check that they can be washed at a temperature of 60C. Wash new garments before wearing them for the first time. The First wash programme will remove any chemical residues from new garments. Textiles which tend to run should be washed separately. You may wish to wash them several times before wearing them for the first time. Pillows Use the Pillows hygiene programme to remove household dust mites from pillows. Pillow and mattress covers should be washed regularly, at least every 3 months.

Detergent

Use detergents without added fragrance. We recommend using detergents which have been specially designed for those with sensitive skins or allergies. Detergent components will vary depending on the manufacturer so it may be a good idea to try out several makes of detergent to find the one which suits you best.

Number of rinses

The wash programmes are designed to rinse garments very effectively. Pressing the Rinse plus button, introduces a fourth rinse in the Hygiene +, Cottons Universal and Minimum iron programmes. You can also programme the washing machine (using the programmable functions) so that a fourth rinse is introduced in the Hygiene + and Cottons Universal programmes as standard. If a fourth rinse has been programmed into the washing machine, then pressing the Rinse plus additional option button will introduce a fifth rinse.

How to wash correctly

Brief instructions
The headings numbered A, B, C,. show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions. A Sort the laundry
,If you use a solvent-based cleaning agent (e.g. one containing benzene) to pre-treat a stain, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) are protected, and that the cleaning agent is rinsed off before washing the garment in the machine.
,Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in this machine. ^ Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately. Curtains: Remove lead weights first or place in a laundry bag. Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc. should be removed or sewn in. Knitted garments, trousers and jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer. Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing. Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them. Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label. (h symbol)

^ Empty all pockets.

,Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.
^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub! Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturer's instructions. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
B Switch on the washing machine C Load the drum ^ Press the Door button to open the drum door. ^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning. The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency. Make sure that no garments are caught between the drum door and seal. D Select a programme
^ Turn the programme selector to the required programme.
^ Shut the door with a gentle swing.
E Select additional option(s) F Select a spin speed
^ Press the appropriate additional option button. Not all the additional options are suitable for every programme. You can only select additional options which are compatible with the basic programme being used.
^ Press the "Spin" button repeatedly until the indicator light for the spin speed you want comes on. G Select Delay start (if required)
^ Press the Delay start button to set the delay start time.
H Add detergent It is important to dispense the correct amount, because. too little detergent results in: Laundry not getting properly clean and and in time becoming grey and hard to the touch. Greasy particles clinging to the laundry. Limescale deposits on the heater elements. too much results in: Excessive foam which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results. Higher water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in). A burden to the environment. ^ Pull out the detergent drawer and place detergent in the compartments as follows: i Detergent for Pre-wash (if selecting Pre-wash, add 1/4 of the total amount recommended). This compartment is also used for starch formulations when starching separately. j Detergent for the main wash, including Soak if selected Fabric conditioners or liquid starch ^ Close the detergent drawer. See "Detergent" for further information.
I Start the programme ^ Press the flashing Start button. If a delay start time has been selected, then this will count down in the display. At the end of the delay start time or immediately after the programme has started (if no delay start time has been selected) the estimated programme duration will appear in the display. During the first 10 minutes the washing machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate. J Remove the laundry Only remove laundry from the machine once the drum has stopped turning. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous and could result in injury. When the programme has finished, the Anti-crease/Finish indicator light will come on. ^ Press the Door button to open the drum door. ^ Remove the laundry. Check that all items have been removed from the drum. Items left in the drum could discolour other items in the next wash or become discoloured themselves.

Safety lock

The safety lock prevents the machine from being opened or the programme cancelled during a wash programme. To activate the safety lock ^ After the start of a programme, press the Start button for at least 4 seconds until the Locked check light (lower right on the control panel) comes on. The safety lock is now activated. The safety lock is deactivated automatically at the end of the programme. To deactivate the safety lock ^ Press the Start button for at least 4 seconds until the Locked check light (lower right on the control panel) goes out. Exception: If the programme selector has been moved and the Anti-crease/Finish indicator light is flashing in the sequence display. ^ First, turn the programme selector back to the programme chosen previously. The Anti-crease/Finish indicator light will go out. ^ You can now deactivate the safety lock.

Electronic system lock

The system lock prevents your machine being used without your knowledge. If the system lock has been activated it is not possible to start a programme. To activate the system lock Before you begin, first ensure that: The drum door is closed. The programme selector is at Finish. A Switch the machine on with the I-On/ 0-Off button. B Press the button for the Pre-wash additional option and keep it pressed in while carrying out steps C to E. C Slowly turn the programme selector clockwise stage by stage to Cottons Universal 60C. D Now slowly turn the programme selector anti-clockwise stage by stage to Finish. E Next slowly turn the programme selector anti-clockwise stage by stage to Delicates cold. The Locked check light (lower right on the control panel) will flash. F Then release the Pre-wash button. G Turn the programme selector to the Finish position. H Switch the washing machine off with I-On/0-Off button. To deactivate the system lock Repeat steps A to F. The Locked check light will go out.

The correct detergent

All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets are suitable for full loads but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets for smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others and may not be suitable for programmes with short durations. Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk! Instructions for use and recommended amounts for a full load are given on the detergent packaging. Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufacturer for programmes without a pre-wash. For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special container from the Miele Spare Parts department which sits in the main wash compartment j of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and to compartment i for the pre-wash. All purpose detergent for whites* Hygiene + Cottons Universal Minimum iron Delicates Silks Woollens Express First wash Pillows hygiene 1) Only use liquid detergent *Powder detergent, tablet detergent, liquid detergent and liquid tab detergent. X X X Detergent for coloured fabrics* X X X X Liquid detergent for machine-washable silks and woollens Liquid detergent for machine-washable woollens X X X

Detergent for delicates

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following: The quantity of laundry. The soiling level of the laundry. Lightly soiled No visible dirt or stains. Normally soiled Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains. Heavily soiled Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on soiling. The water hardness level. Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in hard water areas. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener. Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water. Miele do not recommend connecting the machine to a household water softener.
Washing with several components
If you wash using several components (e.g. special application detergents), we recommend always dispensing the agents into compartment j in the following order: 1. Detergent 2. Water softener 3. Stain remover This way the agents are distributed more evenly.
Fabric conditioners and liquid starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying. Liquid starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen. N.B. Do not use liquid starch for allergy sufferers. ^ Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. Automatic dispensing of fabric conditioner or liquid starch at the end of a programme If liquid starch is used, it is extremely important to ensure that any liquid starch residues are removed from the machine before it is used to wash items for allergy sufferers. After using liquid starch: 1. Clean the dispenser compartment, siphon tube and conditioning channel. See "Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer". 2. Run a Hygiene + 60C programme with powder detergent but without a load to flush out the machine.
^ Add the fabric conditioner or liquid starch to compartment. Do not exceed the maximum level mark. It will be automatically dispensed in the last rinse. At the end of the programme a small amount of water remains in the fabric conditioner compartment.
Cleaning and care ,Disconnect the machine from the
mains electricity supply and withdraw the plug from the socket before cleaning the machine. Extra cleaning Carry out a hot wash (70C or above) with powder detergent approx. every 6 weeks to help prevent deposits building up in the machine. These can occur when washing is mainly done at low temperatures, and also lead to unpleasant smells. If you have no reason to wash occasionally at this high temperature, then run a Cottons 95C programme with detergent but no laundry at regular intervals.

,The washing machine must not be hosed down.
External casing and fascia panel
^ Clean the casing with a mild non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap and water using a well wrung-out cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. ^ The drum can be cleaned using a suitable proprietary stainless-steel cleaning agent following the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove detergent residues regularly.
,Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaning agents. These might damage plastic surfaces and other components because of the chemicals they contain.
E-Cloth A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals. It can be washed 300 times. ^ Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer until a resistance is felt. Press down the release catch and at the same time pull the drawer right out of the machine. ^ Clean the detergent drawer with warm water.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing
^ Clean the siphon. 1. Remove the siphon from compartment and rinse under warm running water. Clean the siphon tube in the same way. 2. Replace the siphon. If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the siphon and siphon tube regularly. A build-up of starch will cause them to get clogged. ^ Use a bottle brush to remove detergent residues and limescale from the jets inside the detergent dispenser drawer housing.
Cleaning the filter in the water inlet
The washing machine has a filter to protect the water inlet valve. The accessible filter in the union in the open end of the inlet hose should be checked every six months, or more often if there are frequent interruptions to the external water supply. ^ First turn off the stopcock. ^ Unscrew the threaded union connecting the free end of the inlet hose to the stopcock.
^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the recess. ^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the plastic filter bar 2 and remove. ^ Clean the plastic filter. ^ Put the filter and seal back in the reverse order and reconnect the hose. Turn on the stopcock and check the connection is watertight. If water drips out, tighten the connection. Never forget to put the filter back in place after cleaning.
