M.-Nr. 06 006 850 3
The washer-extractor must be installed and
commissioned by an approved Customer
Service technician or authorised Service

Please read the operating instructions be-
fore using this machine for the first time.
They contain important information about
the safety, use and maintenance of the
machine. This will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the machine.
Appropriate use of the machine
This washer extractor is only intended for
items of laundry which have not been im-
pregnated with dangerous or inflammable
substances.
Only machine wash articles which pos-
sess a care label stating they are suit-
able for machine washing.
It is the operator’s responsibility to en-
sure that the standard of disinfection in
thermal as well as chemo thermal proce-
dures is maintained (in accordance with §
18 IFSG) by carrying out suitable validation
tests. These procedures should be checked
on a regular basis, either thermo-electrically
using loggers, or bacteriologically with bio
indicators. The operator must pay particular
attention to maintaining the correct parame-
ters in the procedure, including temperature
and with chemo thermal programmes the
chemical concentration used. Disinfection
programmes must not be interrupted, as this
can have a limiting effect on the disinfection
result.
On no account must solvents of the kind
used for dry cleaning be used in this ma-
chine. There may be the danger of fire or ex-
plosion.
Never use or store petrol or petroleum
based substances or any easily inflam-
mable substances near the machine. Do not
use the machine lid as a resting place.
Danger of fire or explosion
Technical and electrical safety
The electrical safety of this appliance
can only be guaranteed when continuity
is complete between the appliance and an
effective earthing system which complies
with local and national regulations.
It is most important that this basic safety re-
quirement is regularly tested by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of an in-
adequate earthing system.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety features and controls on the ma-
chine.
Where there is any damage to the ma-
chine or to the cable insulation the ma-
chine must not be used until it has been re-
paired.
Any removable outer panels must be in
place, and all moving or electrical parts
shielded before the machine is operated.
The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply either when
switched off at the wall isolator, or the mains
fuse is withdrawn from the socket.
Repairs to machines operating with elec-
tricity, gas or steam should only be un-
dertaken by a suitably qualified service en-
gineer to ensure safety. Unauthorized repairs
could be dangerous.
Faulty components should only be ex-
changed for Miele original spare parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can the
safety standards of the machine be guaran-
teed.
The very best materials are used in the
manufacture of this machine, and every
care is taken in its manufacture. However,
with time, deterioration of parts can occur,
especially with rubber components such as
hoses. This should be borne in mind if oper-
ating the machine without supervision.
Check the inlet hoses regularly for signs of
deterioration and replace in good time, to
avoid leaks and subsequent damage.
Warning and Safety Instructions
4 M.-Nr. 06 006 850

Local regulations regarding regular in-
spection and maintenance of this ma-
chine must be observed. (In Germany this
machine is subject to laundry regulations
UVV (VBG7y), Sections 36 and 37, which
stipulate that washer extractors with a kinetic
energy of more than 1500 Nm must be
checked once a year by a competent per-
son for their operational safety and the re-
sults entered in a test log (book) supplied
with the machine for the German market,
and which must be kept at the place of oper-
ation and be available for inspection.)
Use of the machine
Never allow children to play in, on or
near the washer extractor, or to operate it
themselves. Please supervise its use by the
elderly or infirm.
Remember that the door porthole glass
can become hot during the operation of
the machine. Do not let children touch it.
When washing with high temperatures
steam can be emitted from the venting
slot behind the machine.
Do not grip between the suspended
drum unit and the seal of the front panel
cut-out during spin.
Always make sure the drum is stationary
before reaching in to remove washing.
Reaching into a moving drum is extremely
dangerous.
Water used for washing and rinsing must
not be used as drinking water. It must be
discharged into a proper sewerage system.
The machine should only be operated
unsupervised when there is a floor drain
(gully) in the direct vicinity of the machine.
To avoid flooding:
If hooking the hose into a sink make sure
that the water can flow away freely to avoid
flooding.
Secure the hose against slipping. The pres-
sure of the water flowing out can push an
unsecured hose out of the sink.
Chlorine or agents containing chlorine
are corrosive, and can under certain
conditions lead to irreperable damage to
components.
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often
have compounds containing chlorides in
them. If these agents dry on to stainless
steel surfaces, the residual chlorides will at-
tack the steel and can cause rusting.
To protect your machine from rust damage,
we recommend only using chloride free dis-
infecting and cleaning agents for washing
and disinfecting programmes and for clean-
ing stainless steel surfaces of the machine
itself.
If you are not sure about a particular agent,
contact the manufacturer of that agent for
advice.
If you accidentally spill an agent containing
chlorides on the machine it should be rinsed
off with water and dried using a soft cloth.
Proprietary dyes, dye removers and
descaling agents may only be used in
this machine if the manufacturer expressly
states that they are suitable for use in a
washing machine. There may be the danger
of fire or explosion.
Always follow the instructions of the
chemical manufacturer when using
cleaning agents and special application
chemicals. Only use such chemicals for the
purpose and in the situation specified by the
manufacturer in order to avoid the danger of
adverse
chemical reactions and material damage.
If in doubt check the suitability of the prod-
uct for use in this machine with the manufac-
turer before using it.
Where a chemical cleaning agent is rec-
ommended on technical application
grounds, this does not imply that the manu-
facturer of the machine takes responsibility
for the effect of the chemical on the material
of the items being cleaned or on the ma-
chine.
Please be aware that changes in formula-
tion, storage conditions etc., which may not
be publicised by the chemical producer, can
have a negative effect on the cleaning result.
Warning and Safety Instructions
M.-Nr. 06 006 850 5

On no account use high pressure
cleaners or hose down the machine.
Use of accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when
expressly approved by Miele. If other
parts are used, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may be invalidated.
Disposal of old machines or appliances
When disposing of an old washer extrac-
tor first make it unusable. Disconnect
from all services, cut off the cable and the
plug from the cable.
Make the door lock inoperative, so that chil-
dren cannot accidentally shut themselves in.
Make appropriate arrangements for the safe
disposal of the appliance.
All personnel working with this machine
must be fully trained in all aspects of its
use and safety.
Keep these instructions in a safe place
Warning and Safety Instructions
6 M.-Nr. 06 006 850

Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has
been selected from materials which are envi-
ronmentally friendly for disposal and can
normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc.
are disposed of safely and kept out of the
reach of babies and young children.
Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these materials
away, please ensure they are offered for re-
cycling.

Operation
M.-Nr. 06 006 850 13

Before using for the first time
The first commissioning of the machine
should be carried out only by a Miele ser-
vice technician or an authorised Miele
Service Dealer.
It is essential that the machine is installed
and connected to power, water and drain-
age correctly.
Flushing out the machine
Any residual lubricants and water from test-
ing still in the machine should be flushed out
as follows:
^Open the on-site stopcock.
^Switch on the on-site mains switch.
^Turn the key switch to position "B" (Opera-
tion).
^Do not load any laundry in the machine.
^Add a little detergent to compartment j.
^Turn the programme selector switch to the
2COTTONS 60°C programme.
^Press the Start button X.
Preparing the wash load
^Empty all pockets
Foreign objects, (eg nails, coins, paper
clips etc) can cause damage to textiles
and components in the machine.
Sort the laundry
Most garments have a textile care label in
the collar or side seam. Sort the laundry by
care label symbols.
Only wash items in this machine which are
stated by the manufacturer to be machine
washable on the textile care label.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye, and
should be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed load.
Delicate textiles should be washed sepa-
rately in a delicates programme.
Loading the drum
Unfold laundry and load loosely in the drum.
For best results make up mixed loads of
large and small items. This improves the
washing effect and distributes the load
better for spinning.
Overloading reduces the wash result and
causes more creasing.

Adding detergent
Add detergent for the:
– Main wash to compartment j
– Pre-wash to compartment i
– Fabric conditioner to compartment p
–Liquid bleach to compartment y
Bleaching agents
Only use bleaching agents on textiles which
have the symbol yon the wash care label.
Liquid bleaching agents must only be dis-
pensed through designated dispenser com-
partment (4). The agent will then be dis-
pensed automatically during the 2nd rinse
(cold bleaching). Liquid bleaching agents
should only be used on coloured textiles
which have a wash care label stating that
they are colour fast and suitable for bleach-
ing.
For cold bleaching the 4th rinse must be
programmed into the machine (see the
Profitronic programming manual for fur-
ther details on how to do this).
Liquid detergent must not be filled higher
than the level marker, as otherwise it will get
through the siphon and into the detergent
dispenser drawer before it is needed.
Detergent dispensing
Avoid dispensing more than the required
amount as this can cause excessive foam-
ing.
–Only use low lather detergents.
–Dispense according to the detergent man-
ufacturer’s recommendations.
The amount to dispense will depend on:
–the amount of laundry
–the water hardness level in your area
–the type and amount of soiling

Rinsing with hot water
Rinsing with hot water is a benefit for ma-
chines connected to a hot water supply.
Standard programmes
1Cottons 95°C and
2Cottons 60°C
are programmed to rinse with hot water.
If a hot water supply is available it is an ad-
vantage to run the final rinse with hot water.
This reduces the residual moisture content of
the laundry after spinning and the laundry
retains heat.
If the laundry is then tumble dried or ironed
straight after the wash programme savings
will be made in the time it takes to process it
and in the amount of energy required.
