It will be dispensed automatically in the last rinse.
Cleaning and care A range of Miele branded CareCollection products are avaialble to order from Miele. See "Optional accessories". Cleaning the drum (Hygiene info) Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergent can cause bacteria and unpleasant smells to build up in the machine. In order to clean the drum and also to prevent unpleasant smells building up, run a Cottons 75°C programme with powder detergent once a month or when the Hygiene info message appears in the display.
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. ^ Use a bottle brush to remove detergent residues and limescale from the jets inside the detergent dispenser drawer housing. If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the siphon and siphon tube regularly. A build-up of starch will cause them to get clogged.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the water inlet filters The washing machine has two filters to protect the inlet valves. These filters should be checked every six months or so, or more often if there are frequent interruptions to the water supply. To clean the filter in the water inlet valve: ^ Using pliers, carefully loosen the ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve and unscrew. To clean the filter in the union in the open end of the inlet hose: ^ First turn off the stopcock.

Installation and connection Installation surface A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing machine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface. Please note: ^ The machine must be level and securely positioned. ^ To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.
Installation and connection ^ Using the spanner supplied, turn the left-hand transit bar 90°, then ^ Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°, then ^ withdraw the transit bar. ^ withdraw the transit bar.
Installation and connection ,To avoid the risk of injury the holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed. ^ Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure that the top catch is located above the holder. ^ Plug the holes with the plastic caps as illustrated. ,The machine must not be moved without the transit bars in place. Store them as shown or keep them in a safe place for future use.
Installation and connection Levelling the machine The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about. Screwing out and adjusting the feet The four adjustable screw feet are used to level the machine. All four feet are screwed in when the machine is delivered. ^ Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level.
Installation and connection Washer and Dryer stack The fitting of building-under kits* and stacking kits* must only be undertaken by qualified and competent persons, in accordance with the instructions supplied with the kit. A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. A "WTV" stacking kit* is necessary.
Installation and connection The Miele water protection system The Miele water protection system protects the washing machine from water damage. The system consists of three main components: 1) the inlet hose 2) the electronic unit and the washing machine housing 3) the drain hose 1) Inlet hose The inlet hose can withstand pressure of more than 7,000 kPa. 2) Electronic unit and washing machine housing – Sump Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the machine.
Installation and connection Connection to the water supply The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with local and national safety regulations. The German authorities do not require it to have a non-return valve as the washing machine has been designed to comply with DIN regulations. The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a pressure reducing valve.
Installation and connection Connection to the drainage system Please note: The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The drain hose must not be kinked as this restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at the end of the hose can be turned in either direction, or can be detached if required, with a sharp twist and pull. If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 5 m. The necessary parts can purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer.
Installation and connection Electrical connection U.K. Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
