Caring for the environment
Caring for the environment
Caring for the environment means sav-
ing water, energy and detergent when
washing. This machine is equipped
with the Hydromatic System and the
Ball Valve for economical use of re-
sources. These systems offer a variety
of technical innovations e.g. the drum
ribs, which are designed to enable
economical washing without compromi-
sing on results.
The automatic load control facility en-
ables loads of between 1 and 5 kg to
be washed using only as much water
and electricity as is required for an ef-
fective wash.
Spinning at the high speed of
1200 rpm reduces drying times and en-
ergy consumption if laundry is dried in
a tumble dryer after washing.
Economy tips
To help you wash most economically,
remember the following tips:
Always wash with the maximum
laundry load specified for each pro-
gramme. This uses the energy to the
best advantage.
Only use the correct amount of deter-
gent required for the water hardness
level in your area, as recommended
by the manufacturer.
If laundry is not heavily stained, se-
lect a lower temperature setting than
indicated on the laundry care label
(but when using a lower temperature
do not select the “short”-option).
Lightly soiled laundry can be
washed using a “short”-programme
(additional temperature reduction
not recommended).

Connection to water supply
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
standard regulations. The German auth-
orities do not require it to have a non-re-
turn valve as the washing machine has
been designed to comply with DVGW
regulations (German Association of
Gas and Water Engineers, see data
plate).
Connection to a mains water supply
should be carried out by a qualified
plumber and should incorporate a
mains stopcock with 3/4" thread
The 1.5 m long 3/8" pressure hose
should be connected to the stopcock
via the 3/4" threaded union.
This hose is not suitable for use for con-
nection to a hot water supply. Please
make sure that the washer sits correctly
in the union.
If connection is to be made to a stop-
cock with a short 3/4" thread, the extra
washers enclosed should also be in-
serted in the inlet hose union to com-
pensate.
The connection points are subject to
mains water pressure. Turn on the stop-
cock slowly and check for leaks. Cor-
rect the positioning of the washers and
screw unions if appropriate.
If replacing the inlet hose only use a
hose able to withstand pressure of up
to 70 bar. This also applies to all fittings
used. Miele original parts fulfil this con-
dition.
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available as optional extras.
The pressure hose and solenoid inlet
valve are designed for a water flow-
pressures of between 1 and 10 bar
(981 kilonewtons/m
2
). At higher water
pressures it is essential to fit a reducer
valve.
There is a minimum flow pressure of 1
bar pressure if 5 litres of water flow into
a suitable container in 15 seconds.
The two dirt filters, one at the inlet
point, one in the pressure hose
union, must not be removed.
