Miele W 2809 I Operating Instructions

							Matching the fascia panel to
the height of adjacent drawer
fronts
Spacer bars
The fascia panel can be aligned with
the drawer fronts by adjusting the
spacer bars.
^Using a socket spanner, turn
clockwise or anti-clockwise until the
required height is reached.
If necessary individual bars can be
removed or more added.
^
To do this, use the socket spanner to
loosen the nuts.
An adapter kit with spacer bars and
longer screws can be ordered as an
optional accessory. This can be used to
add spacer bars from below up to a
maximum of 25 mm.
After fitting the bars, cut or pinch off
any excess length from the screws.Removing the spacer bars
All the spacer bars can be removed if
the upper edge of the front panel needs
to be flush with the upper edge of the
machine front directly underneath the
fascia panel. See Fitting a front panel
made by another manufacturer.
^Open the door.
^Unscrew and remove the 3 screws
(see arrows).
^
Remove all the spacer bars.
The 3 holes which are now free should
be used to screw the front panel to the
machine front later on.

							Fitting the front panel
The machine front can be fitted with a
door panel to match other kitchen units.
If fitted in a Miele kitchen, the door
panel can be ordered pre-drilled with
the necessary fixing holes as an
optional accessory.
If fitted in a non-Miele kitchen, a
suitable panel will have to be drilled
to suit by a qualified kitchen fitter.
See Fitting a door front panel made
by another manufacturer for details
on preparing and drilling the fixing
holes.
Front panel dimensions
Width
: 592 - 596 mm
Thickness
: 17 to 19 mm (corresponding
to the thickness of the adjacent unit
door front panels)
Height

panel corresponds to the door height
(H) of the adjacent units.Fitting the front panel
^Open the door.
^Hold the front panel in the correct
position in front of the machine door.
^Screw the front panel to the machine
door.
If all the spacer bars have been
removed:
You can also make use of the 3 holes at
the top of the door plate to screw the
front panel to the door plate.

– without spacer bars:
(the front panel must be
correspondingly higher)BMark the two hinge holes and the
four smaller holes as shown in the
diagram.

15.5 mm deep) in the back of the
front panel.
DNext, drill the four smaller holes
(C7 mm/10 mm deep) in the back of
the front panel.
EShorten the front panel from the
bottom to heightH.
Preparing the fixing points
FHold the pre-drilled front panel in the
correct position in front of the
machine door.
GMark the fixing points on the back of
the front panel through the holes in
the machine door plate (see arrows
in the illustration).
HRemove the front panel.
INow drill holes (C2.5 mm/10 mm
deep) in the back of the front panel.

							Fitting a plinth facing
The gap between the lower edge of the
washing machine plinth and the floor
can be closed up using a suitable
kitchen furniture plinth facing.
The washing machine plinth has a
special groove in which a plinth facing
can be fitted.
Plinth facing dimensions
Length
: 592 - 596 mm
Thickness
: 8 mm
Height (
H): The plinth facing height
must be calculated after aligning the
height of the machine with the screw
feet or after fitting the raising kit(s).Installation
^Calculate height (H) from the floor up
into the groove (on the underside of
the washing machine).
^Cut the plinth facing to size.
^Slide it into the groove.
Useful tip:
If the machine is fitted on a raising kit,
you can use double-sided adhesive
tape on the back of the plinth facing to
secure it to the raising kit.

							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. A
float switches off the safety valves,
preventing any more water flowing
into the machine and water in the
suds container is pumped away.–Overflow protection
This prevents the washing machine
taking in too much water. If the water
level exceeds a certain level, the
drain pump switches in and pumps
the excess water away.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being
emptied completely.
Installation and connection
56
 
						

							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.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with
3/4 thread. The stopcock should
be fitted by a qualified plumber.
,The connection point is subject
to mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
The washing machine isnotsuitable
for connection to a hot water supply
and connection to a household
water softener is not recommended.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement or
extension. These are tested to
withstand pressure of at least
7,000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filters - one in the
open end of the inlet hose, one at
the inlet point in the machine must
not be removed.
Extension hose
–Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length
are available from your Miele dealer
or the Miele Spare Parts Department
as optional extras.
Installation and connection
57
 
						

							Connection to the drainage
system
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 be purchased
from the Miele Spare Parts Department
or your Miele dealer.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m
(up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a second
duo-drain pump is available with the
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.Drain hose connection:
1.Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note the following
–Hook the hose over the edge and
secure.
–Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance.
Otherwise there is a risk of water
overflowing or of some of the drained
water being sucked back into the
machine.
2.Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no
need to use a non-return valve.
3.Connected securely to a standpipe.
4.Connected securely to a floor gully.

							Electrical connection U.K.
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).
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance until after installation work
has been carried out.
The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable with moulded plug ready for
connection to a 230-240V mains
supply.
Please ensure the connection data
quoted on the data plate match the
household mains supply.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket which is easily
accessible after installation.
For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD), with a
trip current of 30 mA (in accordance
with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section
739).
Do not connect via an extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363
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. The
colour of the correct replacement cover
is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is
embossed in words on the base of the
plug (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).
Replacement fuses should be ASTA
approved to BS 1362 and have the
correct rating. Replacement fuses and
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical supplier.
