Read all instructions before using the appliance. 2. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in or soaked in gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They give off vapors that could ignite or explode. 3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children. 4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment. 5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. 6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to weather. 7. Do not tamper with the controls. 8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published userrepair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. 9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode. 10. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Refer to the Electrical Connection Section for grounding and installation instructions. 5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Help protect our environment OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Help protect our environment Warning - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance. Disposal of your old machine Old machines contain materials which can be recycled. Please contact your recycling center or scrap merchant before disposing of the appliance, and render the machine inoperative as per the "Warning and Safety Instructions" Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing is mostly manufactured from the following recycled or recyclable materials: ­ corrugated paper/cardboard ­ polystyrene - CFC-free ­ polystyrene foil (transparent) ­ Untreated wood ­ Polypropylene (PP) strapping Rather than throwing these materials away, please take them to your community recycling center. 6 Economical usage Economical usage The key to good wash results is finding the correct combination of detergent and temperature, and then allowing the washing machine to optimize their usage through its programming. Program lengths can vary for this reason. With the "Hydromatic" system, the drum can revolve at various speeds. Faster and slower agitation speeds, along with pauses for soaking, combine to ensure excellent results. The automatic load control feature ensures the correct water level for the type of fabric and load being washed (even though it may appear as if there is too little water in the drum!). Because of the accurately balanced drum and special sound insulation, machine noise is minimal while operating. The fully electronic controls offer a combination of simple operation with many optional features. For instance, since a main wash generally gives good results for a normal load, the pre-wash cycle has been made a user selectable option, saving time,water and energy over older full cycle machines. Economy For optimum economical usage, remember the following tips: ­ The automatic load control feature will adjust the water level for loads up to 11 lbs (5 kg). Washing with the maximum load specified for each program uses water and energy to the best advantage. ­ Use only the correct amount of detergent required for the water hardness in your area. Miele recommends the use of powder detergents, as their characteristics allow them to perform better in this machine than liquid detergents. If the wash is not heavily stained, select a lower temperature than indicated on the wash care label. 7 Preparing the Laundry Preparing the Laundry The headings numbered (1,2,3,...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide. Dark fabrics often contain "excess dye" and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Delicate fabrics should be washed separately using a delicates program. Only wash wool or wool mixtures if they are labeled machine washable on the textile care label. Pre-treat the laundry Badly soiled areas (e.g. collars and cuffs) and water soluble stains can be pre-treated with bar soap, stain remover, or detergent mixed into a solution or paste. Do not use detergents containing solvents in the machine. Before washing 1 Prepare the wash load Empty all pockets. Foreign objects left in pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to clothes and the machine. Sort the laundry Most garments have a Fabric care label in the collar or side seam. Sort the laundry by care label and color. Only wash items that are labeled machine washable by the manufacturer. 8 Preparing the Laundry Preparing the Laundry 2 Press the "Door" button to open the door To start a program 3 1 Load the machine Turn the program selector to Finish / Start Press the "ON/OFF" button Press any additional option buttons desired Unfold the laundry and place it in the drum. For best results we recommend washing mixed loads consisting of both large and small items. This improves the washing effectiveness and helps distribute the load evenly to keep the machine stable and reduce noise during spinning. Recommended load sizes are noted below: COTTONS . . . . . . . . . . 11.0 lbs (5.0 kg) PERMANENT PRESS . . 4.5 lbs (2.5 kg) FINE/DELICATES . . . . . 2.0 lbs (1.0 kg) WOOLENS . . . . . . . . . . . 2.0 lbs (1.0 kg) FINE RINSE . . . . . . . . . 11.0 lbs (5.0 kg) With curtains: Remove lead weights and strips. Woolens and knitted garments should be turned inside out if recommended by the manufacturer. 2 3 (See the "Delay start" section if this feature is desired.) 4 5 Select spin cycle speed Turn the program selector to the desired program The program selector can be turned to the left or the right. 3 Close the machine door Make sure there are no clothes caught between the drum door and seal. 4 Add detergent See section "Adding detergent" for details. 9 End of Program End of Program After washing 4 Remove the wash. 1 2 3 Turn the program selector switch to "Finish/Start" Press the "ON/OFF" button. Press the "Door" button. Do not attempt to remove laundry from the machine if the drum is turning. You may seriously injure yourself. If the drum turns with the door open, contact the Miele Service Department. 5 Check the folds in the door seal for any small articles such as buttons or nails which may be lodged there. Make sure the drum is empty by manually turning it completely around or, during the next use, items may be damaged (e.g. shrink) or cause other laundry to discolor. 6 Close the drum door. 10 Changing the program sequence Changing the program sequence To cancel a program: Turn the program selector to "Finish/Start". To interrupt a program: Press the "ON/OFF" buttton. To continue the program, turn the machine back on. To change an incorrectly selected program: Turn the program selector switch to "Finish/Start". When only the "On" lamp is lit, a new program can be selected. To change a program which has been "locked" using the Child Safety feature, see the "Programmable functions" section. To omit a program stage: A program stage must first be reached to be omitted: Turn the program selector to "Finish/Start" As soon as the program sequence indicator lamp for the stage you wish starts flashing: Turn the program selector switch to the desired program. 11 Adding detergent Adding detergent Powder detergent should be added to compartment j (main wash) and compartment i (pre wash, if necessary) at the beginning of each wash cycle. Due to the Miele "Eco-System", 1/3 to 1/2 the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent is generally sufficient for excellent wash results. Do not use chlorine bleach! Water is taken in through compartment j during the main wash. If your water is extremely hard (above 400 ppm calcium carbonate) and the capacity of compartment j is insufficient for the amount of detergent needed, a Service Technician can reprogram the machine so that water and detergent can also be taken in through compartment i. For small loads: ­ Gradually reduce the amount of detergent used with each small load. ­ Check the wash results and the condition of the laundry. ­ If the laundry is not clean or if it is gray or hard to the touch, add slightly more detergent the next time you use the machine. It is important to add the correct ...
