Detergent

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 dosage amounts 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.

A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products are available to order from your Dealer, the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove detergent residues regularly.
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.
,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.
^ 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 siphon and conditioner channel Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing
1. Remove the siphon from compartment and rinse under warm running water. Clean the siphon tube in the same way. 2. Replace the siphon.
^ Use a bottle brush to remove detergent residues and limescale from the jets inside the detergent dispenser drawer housing.

Descaling the machine

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale the machine only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging.
^ Clean the fabric conditioner channel using a brush and warm water. If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the siphon, the siphon tube and the fabric conditioner channel regularly. A build-up of starch will cause them to get clogged.
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.

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing machine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface. Please note the following points: ^ The machine must be level and securely positioned. ^ To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings. If installing on a wooden joist floor: ^ We recommend a plywood base (at least 59x52x3 cm). The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joists and not only to the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first. If possible, install the machine in a corner, as this is usually the most stable part of the floor. Transporting the machine to its installation site To manoeuvre the machine out of its packing case to its installation site, hold it by the front feet as well as by the edge of the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the washing machine.
,Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the machine from slipping during the spin cycle.
Removing the transit fittings
,If the machine is installed on a raised plinth, it has to be secured against slippage during spinning using retaining clips (available from the Miele Spare Parts Dept).
^ To remove the left and right covers 1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the cover as illustrated. 2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.
^ Using the spanner supplied, turn the left-hand transit bar 90, then
^ Turn the right-hand transit bar 90, then
^ withdraw the transit bar.
Installation and connection ,To avoid the risk of injury the holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed.

^ Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure that holes b are fitted over retainers a.
,The machine must not be moved
^ Fit the covers onto the two holes. Then plug the holes as shown with the caps. without the transit bars in place. Store them as shown or keep them in a safe place for future use. They must be re-fitted if the machine is to be moved again (e.g. when moving house).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the procedure.

Levelling the machine

The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about. Screwing out and adjusting the feet The four adjustable screw feet are used to level the machine. All four feet are screwed in when the machine is delivered.
^ Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level. ^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again using the spanner supplied until it sits firmly up against the housing.
,All four counter nuts must sit
firmly up against the housing. Please also check this for the feet which did not need adjustment. Otherwise there is the danger of the machine moving about.
^ Using the spanner supplied, turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.
This washing machine is not suitable for building under a worktop.

The Miele Waterproof system
The Miele Waterproof system protects the washing machine from water damage. The system consists of three main components: 1) the inlet hose 2) the electronic unit and the washing machine housing 3) the drain hose 1) Inlet hose The inlet hose is fitted with an additional electrical safety valve which works like an automatic stopcock and is housed in the inlet hose connection box. It is pressure tested to between 7,000 and 10,000 kPa. The inlet hose has a protective sleeve. Any leaking water from the inlet hose is fed into the sump through this protective sleeve. A float switches off the safety valve, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away. 2) Electronic unit and washing machine housing Sump Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the machine. A float switches off the safety valves, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away. Overflow protection This prevents the washing machine taking in too much water. If the water level exceeds a certain level, the drain pump switches in and pumps the excess water away. 3) Drain hose The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied completely.

Connection to the water supply
The machine should be connected to the mains water supply in accordance with local and national safety regulations. The German authorities do not require it to have a non-return valve as the washing machine has been designed to comply with DIN regulations. The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1,000 kPa (1-10 bar). If it is higher than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a pressure reducing valve. Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
,The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. The Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it.
,The connection point is subject
to mains water pressure. Turn on the stopcock slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the washer and union if appropriate.
Do not get wet. The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply and connection to a household water softener is not recommended.
The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked.
Maintenance and care If you intend to unscrew the Miele Waterproof system hose from the stopcock it is essential to disconnect the machine from the electricity supply first. Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement. In order to protect the water inlet valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet valve connection must not be removed. Extension hose A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose is available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department as an optional extra. This hose is tested to withstand pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can be used as a flexible extension to the water supply. N.B. Using this hose renders the Waterproof system safety valve on the inlet hose ineffective.
Connection to the drainage system
The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The drain hose must not be kinked as this restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at the end of the hose can be turned in either direction, or can be detached if required, with a sharp twist and pull. If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 5 m. The necessary parts can purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer. * For a delivery head of more than 1 m (up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacement drain pump will need to be fitted. Please contact the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele Dealer. Drain hose connection: 1. Direct into a sink or basin: Please note the following: Hook the hose over the edge and secure. Make sure that the water can drain away freely without hindrance. Otherwise there is a risk of water overflowing or of some of the drained water being sucked back into the machine. 2. Connected securely to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no need to use a non-return valve. 3. Connected securely to a standpipe. 4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
