Environmentally friendly washing

Energy and water consumption

– Make use of the maximum load that the wash program can accommodate. This will keep the energy and water consumption to a minimum in relation to the size of the load.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the washing machine’s automatic load control system will reduce the amount of water and energy used.
– Use the Express program for small, lightly soiled loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures. Using the corresponding temperature settings will save energy.
– Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergents can cause bacteria and odors to build up in the washing machine. Miele therefore recommends cleaning the washing machine once every month. When the indicator light lights up on the control field and appears on the time display, the washing machine must be cleaned.

Detergent consumption

– Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended on the packaging.
– Adjust the dosage to the level of soiling of the laundry.
– Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (approx. less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).
– Only use highly efficient detergent with the following label:

When drying with a tumble dryer
Select the highest possible spin speed for the wash program to save energy in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.

1. Prepare the laundry

Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to garments and components in the machine. Check the laundry before washing and remove any such foreign objects.
Sort the laundry Only wash items that are labeled machine washable by the manufacturer. Most garments have a fabric care label in the collar or side seam. Sort the laundry by care label and
color.

Tip: Dark fabrics often bleed the first few times they are washed. They should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load.

Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should
be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably while still fresh. Stains should be carefully dabbed off using a soft cloth. Do not rub!

Tip: Stains (such as blood, egg, coffee, and tea) can be pre-treated using some handy tricks which can be found in the Miele guide to laundry care. Please contact Miele directly or submit a request via Internet page to obtain or view a copy of this manual.

⚠ Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts. When pre-treating a stain, make sure that plastic parts do not come into contact with cleaning agents.
⚠ Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents. When using solvent-based cleaning agents, an explosive mixture may develop. Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing machine.

General tips
– Curtains: Remove any lead weights or strips before washing.
– Loose bra underwires should be removed or sewn in place before washing.
– Close zippers, hooks and eyelets before washing.
– Comforter covers and pillowcases should be fastened to prevent small items from rolling inside of them.

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for this machine. It is 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.
  • To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings. If installing on a wooden joist floor:
  • Install the unit on a 2 ft. x 2 ft. x 1 3/16″ (61 x 61 x 3 cm) plywood base. Ideally the base should be large enough to span several joists and should be anchored to the joists and not just the floor boards.

Tip: If possible, install the machine in a corner. This is usually the most stable part of the floor.

⚠ Injury can occur if the washing machine has not been adequately secured. During installation, the washing machine must be secured on a raised plinth to be made available on site (concrete or brick), in order to ensure it cannot fall or slip. Secure the washing machine using a clamp/fastening bracket (MTS floor mounting kit ­ available from your Miele dealer or Miele Service).

Transporting the washing machine to its installation site

⚠ Danger of injury due to unsecure lid. The fixings at the back of the lid may become brittle due to external circumstances. There is a danger of the lid being pulled off when carrying the appliance. Before carrying the appliance, check that the lid is secure where it protrudes at the back of the appliance.

Carry the washing machine by the front feet and by the lid where it protrudes at the back of the appliance.

The water protection system

The Miele water protection system protects all parts of the washing machine and its surroundings from water damage. The system consists of the following main components:
– the inlet hose – the electronic module and drainage and overflow protection
– the drain hose Inlet hoses
– Protection against the hoses bursting
The inlet hose can withstand pressure of more than 1,015 psi (7,000 kPa).

Electronic module and washing machine housing
– Sump: Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the machine. A float switches off the water inlet 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 on and pumps the excess water away in a controlled way.

Water intake

⚠ Health risk and risk of damage due to contaminated incoming water. The quality of the incoming water must comply with the requirements for drinking water in the country in which the washing machine is being operated. Always connect the washing machine to the drinking water supply.

The washing machine can be connected to a portable water supply. A non-return valve is not needed unless required by building code.

The washing machine has ½” (13 mm) pressure hoses with ¾” (19 mm) female hose thread connections. If there is no water hookup, contact a plumber to install a connection. Make sure that the sealing ring is seated properly on the hose connector.

Replace the hose only with a genuine Miele hose, or with a hose able to withstand up to 145 psi (1,000 kPa) pressure. The water valve connector must also be able to withstand 145 psi (1,000 kPa).

The bolted connection is under water pressure. Open the water supply slowly to check for leaks. Adjust the rubber seal and the bolted connection if necessary.

Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has been tested to withstand pressure of at least 870 psi (6,000 kPa) should you ever need a replacement.

⚠ A filter is located in the open end of the inlet hose and another in the intake point to protect the inlet valve. Neither filter may be removed.

Water drainage

The suds are drained through a drain pump with a 3.2 ft (1 m) delivery head. For the water to drain freely, the hose must be installed free of kinks. If required, the hose can be extended to a length of up to 16.4 ft (5 m). Accessories are available from your Miele dealer or Miele Customer Service. For a delivery head of more than 3.2 ft (1 m) (up to a max. of 5.9 ft (1.8 m)) a replacement drain pump will need to be installed. Please contact Miele Customer Service for advice. For a delivery head of 5.9 ft (1.8 m) the hose can be extended to a length of up to 8.2 ft (2.5 m). Accessories are available from your Miele dealer or Miele Customer Service.

Drainage options:

  1. Direct into a sink or basin:
    Please note: ­ Hook the hose over the edge and secure! ­ If the water is pumped into a sink, be sure that it can drain away quickly enough. 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 floor drain.

  4. Connected securely to a sink with a plastic nipple.
