Optimal 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. The fully electronic controls offer a combination of simple operation with many optional features.
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. Before washing Delicate fabrics should be washed separately using the FINE/DELICATES program. A Prepare the wash load 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.
Preparing the Laundry B Press the "Door" button to open the door C Load the machine 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 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 lbs (5.
End of Program After washing K Turn the program selector switch to "Finish/Start" L Press the "ON/OFF" button. M 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. N Remove the wash. O Check the folds in the door seal for any small articles such as buttons or nails which may be lodged there.
Changing the program sequence To cancel a program: To omit a program stage: ^ Turn the program selector to "Finish/Start". A program stage must first be reached to be omitted. When the sequence indicator lamp of the program stage you would like to omit illuminates: 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".
Adding detergent Powder detergent should be added to compartment j (main wash) and compartment i (pre wash, if selected) at the beginning of each wash cycle. Due to the design of the Miele 1/3 to 1/2 the manufacturer’s recommended amount of detergent is plenty for excellent wash results. It is important to use the correct amount of detergent, because... Do not use chlorine bleach! – lime deposits on the heating elements and drum (in hard water areas).
Adding fabric softener or starch If fabric softener is desired, it will work more effectively and be gentler on the clothes if it is dispensed in the final rinse cycle of the wash, rather than in the dryer with softener sheets. To automatically dispense fabric softener: ^ Open the lid of compartment p. At the end of the program a small amount of water will normally remain in compartment p.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation surface Installation A concrete floor is the most suitable surface for a washing machine. Concrete floors are less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floors. Lift the machine from its shipping pallet and move it to the installation site. Please note: Please note the following points: ^ Ensure that the machine feet and the floor are dry to prevent slippage during the spin cycle. ^ The machine must be level and securely positioned.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2. Turn the right shipping strut 90° clockwise. 4. Plug the two holes with the plastic caps provided. Movement of the machine without the shipping struts in place should be kept to a minimum. The shipping struts should be stored in a safe place for future use. They must be reinstalled before the machine is moved. Reinstallation can be performed by reversing the above procedure. 3. Withdraw the two struts together with the support plate.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Leveling the machine To ensure smooth operation, it is essential that the machine is level. ^ Unscrew each of the four feet as much as necessary by turning both the foot 1 as well as the locking ring 2 to the left using a screwdriver (see illustration). ^ Remove the supports, stand the machine on its feet and check to see if it is level. Repeat this procedure as often as necessary until the machine stands level.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Building in This machine can be installed under a countertop either with or without a lid. If the lid is removed, the protective cover located underneath must be left in place. An optional UBS spacer kit (Part #1542631) can also be used to raise the machine an additional 2", if necessary. The dimensions below show the machine being installed under the countertop, with the lid in place.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Replacing the decor panel Decor panel dimensions ^ Keep the door closed when replacing the decor panel. ^ Remove the edge strip from the hinged side of the door by unscrewing the 4 screws shown in the illustration. Three are on the side of the door and one is on the bottom. ^ Loosen the remaining 7 screws from the bottom and side strips until the decor panel can be bowed slightly and slid off of the door. ^ Install the new decor panel by reversing the above procedure.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installing a cabinet matching toekick A cabinet matching toekick can be installed over the machine toekick if so desired. The height and depth of the machine toekick however, can not be altered. The toekick must be installed so that it can be removed if servicing becomes necessary. Access to the emergency drain and door latch release located behind the small door in the machine toekick may be required. Velcro is recommended for the mounting of the toekick.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Any residual water left in the machine from the factory testing process can be flushed out as follows: ^ Do not put any laundry in the machine. Water hardness reminder The amount of detergent needed to wash clothes depends on various factors, including the water hardness in your area. You can set the water hardness dial in the detergent dispenser as a reminder. ^ Place 1/4 of the recommended amount of detergent in compartment j. ^ Turn on the machine.
Plumbing Connections Connect the cold water intake hose (blue mark) to the cold water valve and the hot water intake hose (red mark) to the hot water valve. Turn on the valves and check for leaks. The water pressure must be within 15-145 psi (1-10 bar). If the water pressure is greater than 145 psi (10 bar), a pressure reducer must be installed. If the water pressure is below 15 psi (1 bar), insufficient water may be available for a complete fill. The water intake hoses are equipped with screen filters.
