How to wash correctly Brief instructions The headings numbered A, B, C, . . . show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions. A Sort the laundry ,Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this machine. ^ Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.
How to wash correctly B Load the drum C Select a language ^ Press the a button and open the drum door. ^ Select the language you want. The interior drum lighting will come on. ^ 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. The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed.
How to wash correctly E Add detergent Take the level of soiling and water hardness into account. It is important to dispense the correct amount, because too little detergent results in: – Laundry not getting properly clean and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch. – Greasy particles clinging to the laundry. – Limescale deposits on the heater elements. too much detergent results in: – Excessive foam which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results.
How to wash correctly F Start the programme The Start button will flash as soon as a programme can be started. ^ Press the Start button. The Start button will light up. Check that all items have been removed from the drum. Items left in the drum could discolour other items in the next wash or become discoloured themselves.

Programme sequence This machine has fully electronic controls with automatic load recognition. It takes in the right amount of water required for the programme depending on the amount of laundry and its absorbency rate. This means that programme cycles and durations can vary. The programme sequences outlined in the chart are based on the basic programme with a full load. Extra options which can be selected have not been taken into account.
Garment care label symbols Washing The figure quoted in the bucket is the maximum temperature the garment can be washed at. The number of bars under the symbol indicate the level of agitation permitted.
Changing the programme sequence Altering a programme Please note: After the start of a programme it is no longer possible to select a different programme. You will need to cancel the current programme before you can select a new one. Once a programme has started the machine cannot recognise any adjustment to the load. Cancelling a programme You can cancel a programme at any time after it has started.
Detergent All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable, including liquid, compact (concentrated), tablets and special application detergents. 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 by proportion to suit smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others and may not be suitable for programmes with short durations.
Detergent Water softeners External dispensing system A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in hard water areas. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener. This machine is suitable for connecting to an external dispensing system. A conversion kit is required which must be fitted by a Miele approved service technician. Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water.
Detergent Fabric conditioners and liquid starch Fabric conditioners make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying. If starching frequently, clean the dispenser compartment and especially the siphon, the tube and conditioner channel regularly. See "Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer". Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.
Cleaning and care ,Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply. ^ Clean the casing and fascia panel with a damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive detergent or soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. ^ The drum and any other stainless steel components can be cleaned using a suitable proprietary stainless-steel cleaning agent following the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing ^ 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 get clogged. ,Do not use a hose to wash the machine down.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the water inlet filters The machine has two filters to protect the water inlet valve. These filters should be checked every six months or so, or more often if there are frequent interruptions to the external water supply. To clean the filter in the inlet hose: ^ First turn off the stopcock. Turn on the stopcock and check the connection is watertight. If water drips out, tighten the connection.
