Detergent All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suit- able, including liquid, compact (con- centrated), tablets and special applica- tion detergents. Use dispensing aids , e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent.
Fabric conditioners and l iquid star ch Fabric conditioners make garments soft and fluffy to handle and help pre- vent static cling when tumble drying. Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging.

Installa tion surface A concrete floor is the most suitable in- stallation surface for a washing ma- chine, 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 se- curely positioned.
Turn the left-hand transit bar 90 ° . Withdraw the left-hand transit bar. Turn the right-hand transit bar 90 ° . Withdraw the right-hand transit bar.
Fit the covers on to the two holes. Then plug the holes as shown with the caps. Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure that holes E are fitted over retainers D . The washing machine must not be moved without the transit bars in place.
Levell ing the machi ne The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may increase elec- tricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about. The four adjustable screw feet are used to level the machine.
Building u nder a continuo us work- top / in a kitchen run – A special building under conversion kit* is required. The machine lid must be replaced by a cover plate.
Connection to the water supply The Waterproof system Funct ion At the heart of this leak protection sys- tem there is an electric safety valve , which works like an automatic stop- cock. The Miele Waterproof system pro- tects from water damage in the follow- ing cases: – Protection in the event of a leaking machine.
The plastic casing of the water connection contains an electric component. The Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not b e 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.
Maintenance If you intend to unscrew the Waterproof system unit from the mains water sup - ply it is essential that the machine is first disconnected from the electricity supply. Only use a Miele Waterproof system should you ever need a replacement or extension.
Connection to the drainage system The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The drain hose is 1.5 m long. It 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 U.K. All electrical work should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and compe- tent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. The appliance is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug for connection to a 230-240V mains supply.
