• Page 14 - English - : Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing mater ial The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufactur ing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites Disposing of your old appli ance Electrical and electronic appliances of ten contain valuable materials They also contain specific materials com pounds and components which were essential for their correct function and safety These could be hazardous to hu man health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly Please do not therefore dispose of your old appliance with your household waste Please dispose of it at your local com munity waste collection recycling centre for electrical and electronic ap pliances or contact your dealer or Miele for advice You are also respons ible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal
• Page 15 - English - : Before using for the first time Damage resulting from incorrect installation and connection Installing and connecting the wash ing machine incorrectly will cause serious property damage See Installation Removing the open spanner Take out the open spanner for remov ing the transit bars from the bottom left of the transport packaging Removing the protective foil and stickers Remove Any protective film from the door Any stickers from the front and the lid Please do not remove any labels eg the data plate which are visible when you open the door Remove the drain hose elbow from the drum An elbow piece for the drain hose is stored in the drum Pull open the door Remove the elbow piece Shut the door with a gentle swing This washing machine has undergone a complete functional test at the fact ory and there will be some residual water in the drum from this process
• Page 16 - English - : Before using for the first time Running the first programme For optimum water and energy con sumption and excellent wash results it is important to calibrate the washing machine To do this the Cottonsprogramme must be run without laundry and without detergent Open the stopcock The washing machine is now switched on and in the control field the temper ature 40C lights up The programme will start After 10minutes the indicators dim except for theStartAdd laundry sensor control Opening the door at the end of the programme The door remains locked during the anticrease phase The control field lights up for the first 10minutes The control field then goes out and theStartAdd laundry sensor control flashes Turn the programme selector to the position appears on the timer display and the indicator light goes out The door unlocks Tip After the anticrease phase the washing machine will have switched off and the door unlocked automatically The control field will be completely dark Take hold of the door and pull it open Tip Leave the door slightly open to al low the drum to dry Initial commissioning is now complete
• Page 17 - English - : Washing environmentally and economically Energy and water consumption To get the most out of your machine load the maximum dry load size for the wash programme you are using This will keep the energy and water consumption to a minimum in relation to the size of the load Programmes that are more efficient with regard to energy and water con sumption generally have a longer run ning time By extending the pro gramme running time the wash tem perature that is actually reached can be reduced while still providing the same wash results For example the ECO 4060programme has a longer running time than the Cottons40C or 60C programme The ECO 4060programme is more effi cient in terms of energy and water consumption but has a longer run ning time Use the Express 20programme for small lightly soiled loads Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures eg 20C Using lower temperature set tings will save energy Hygiene in the washing ma chine Washing at low temperatures andor us ing liquid detergents can cause bacteria and odours to build up in the washing machine Miele therefore recommends cleaning the washing machine once every month When the indicator light appears in the control field the washing machine must be cleaned Information about subsequent tumble drying The spin speed selected affects the re sidual moisture in the laundry and the sound emissions of the washing ma chine The higher the spin speed the lower the residual moisture in the laundry However the sound emissions of the washing machine will increase Select the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme to save energy in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle Detergent Do not exceed the amounts of deter gent recommended by the manufac turer on the packaging Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads approx ⅓ less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load
• Page 18 - English - : 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 foreign objects Sort the laundry Sort the laundry by colour and by care label Most garments have a tex tile care label in the collar or side seam Tip 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 Pretreating stains Badly soiled areas and stains should be cleaned as soon as possible preferably whilst still fresh Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft colourfast cloth Do not rub Tip Stains eg blood egg coffee tea can be pretreated using some handy tricks which can be found in the Miele guide to laundry care Damage due to solventbased cleaning agents Cleaning agents containing benzine stain remover etc can damage plastic parts When pretreating textiles make sure that any plastic parts eg buttons do not come into contact with clean ing agent Risk of explosion due to solvent based cleaning agents When using solventbased cleaning agents an explosive mixture may develop Never use solventbased cleaning agents in the washing machine General tips Curtains Remove lead weights first or place in a laundry bag Underwiring and collar stiffeners Any loose wiring in bras shirt collar stiffeners etc should be removed or sewn in Close any zips attach velcro fasten ers fasten hooks and eyes etc be fore washing Fasten duvet covers pillow cases etc to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them Do not wash any items in this washing machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label symbol
• Page 19 - English - : 2 Load the washing machine Open the door Take hold of the door and pull it open Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading it with laun dry The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed However do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creases Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning Tip Please note the maximum load for different wash programmes Close the door Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal Shut the door with a gentle swing
