Energy and water consumption – Water consumption and energy usage are determined by the size of the load. To make the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using. – When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the automatic load recognition system will reduce the amount of water, time and energy used.
Brief instructions The headings numbered A , B , C ,... show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions. A Sort the laundry ^ Empty all pockets. , Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.
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.
F Selecting Extra options ^ Select any Extra options by pressing the appropriate button. The relevant indicator light will come on to show which Extra option has been selected. Not all the Extra options are suitable for use with every programme. You can only select Extra options which are compatible with the basic programme being used.

H Start the programme ^ Press the flashing Start/Stop button. The estimated programme duration will appear in the display once the programme has started. During the first 8 minutes the machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate.
Final spin speed You can reduce the final spin speed. However, you cannot select a final spin speed higher than that shown in the chart above. Rinse and interim spin There is a spin after the main wash and between the rinses. A reduction in the final spin speed will also reduce the interim spin speed.

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. Possibly slight body odour. Normally soiled Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.
Fabric conditioners and liquid starch Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen. Fabric conditioners make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying.
Cleaning the drum (Hygiene Info) If you only wash at low temperatures or with liquid detergent over a long period of time, organic deposits and unpleasant odours can form in the machine.
^ 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 become clogged.
Cleaning the water inlet filters The washing machine has two filters to protect the inlet valves. These filters should be checked every six months or so, or more often if there are frequent interruptions to the water supply. To clean the filter in the union in the open end of the inlet hose: ^ First turn off the tap.
What to do i f... With the help of the following notes, minor faults in the performance of the machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put right without contacting Miele.

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 machine must be level and securely positioned.
^ Using the spanner supplied, turn the left-hand transit bar 90°, then ^ withdraw the transit bar. ^ Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°, then ^ withdraw the transit bar.
, To avoid the risk of injury, the holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed. ^ Fit the covers onto the two holes. ^ Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure that the upper hooks are above the retainers.
Levelling the machine The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Failure to level the machine can result in the machine "banging" in the spin cycle or "walking" across the floor during operation.
Building under a continuous worktop / in a kitchen run – A special building under conversion kit* is required. The machine lid must be replaced by a cover plate.
The Miele water protection system The Miele water protection system protects all parts of 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 can withstand pressure of more than 7000 kPa.
Connection to the water supply The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with current local and national safety regulations. The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 kPa and 1000 kPa. If it is higher than 1000 kPa, it is essential to fit a pressure reducing valve.
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.
Electrical connection The washing machine is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug for connection to a 230V mains supply. The voltage, rated load and plug rating are given on the data plate. Please ensure these match the household mains supply.
