Miele Wt 2670 Wpm Operating Instructions

							The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
–The soiling level of the laundry
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavily soiled
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
–The water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.
– The quantity of the laundry (add the
recommended amount of detergent).
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in hard
water areas. Dispense according to the
amount specified on the packaging.
First add detergent and then the water
softener.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
Miele do not recommend connecting
the machine to a household water
softener.Washing with several components
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartmentjin the
following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softeners
3. Stain remover
This way the agents are distributed
more evenly.

							Fabric conditioners or liquid starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
to handle and help prevent static cling
when tumble drying.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items
of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and
bed linen.
^Dispense according to the amount
specified on the packaging.
Automatic dispensing of fabric
conditioner or liquid starch to
laundry at the end of a programme
^
Add the fabric conditioner or liquid
starch to compartment§.Do not
exceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the
last rinse. At the end of the programme
a small amount of water remains in the
fabric conditioner compartment§.
If starching frequently, clean the
dispenser compartment and
especially the siphon tube and
conditioner channel regularly. See
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer. Do not add starchformulations or viscous liquid starch
to the§compartment as it will clog
up.

							Separate drying
The separate drying programme must
be used if the load in the wash
programme is greater than the
maximum load permitted for drying,
or if you only want to dry part of the
load that was washed.
^Before drying check the drying
symbol on the care label.
qDry at normal temperature
rDry at a low temperature
(select theLow temperatureextra
option)
sDo not tumble dry
If there is no symbol, dry at your own
risk applying the following principles:
– Cottons and minimum iron items
should be dried using the
appropriate programme.
– Delicate fabrics, e.g. acrylics, should
be dried at a low temperature (select
theLow temperatureextra option).
Tips on drying
Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Spin them thoroughly
after washing using the appropriate
spin speed.
–
Woollens and wool blends
tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can be partially
dried using theWoollensprogramme.–Down-filled garments
have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
They can be partially dried using the
Smoothingprogramme.
–Pure linen
should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may
otherwise tend to roughen. They can
be partially dried using the
Smoothingprogramme.
–Loopknit garments
(e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality.Do not over-dry these
textiles. When purchasing these
garments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
– Starched laundry
can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
– Minimum iron fabrics
and 100%
cotton shirts or blouses tend to
crease more, the larger the load. This
is particulary the case with delicate
fabrics. If in doubt, reduce the load or
use theShirtsprogramme.
–
New dark coloured garments
should
be washed and dried separately from
light coloured garments to avoid the
danger of colours running and
discolouring other garments. Dark
coloured fibres can also settle on
light coloured garments and vice
versa.

							DLoad the drum
^Open the drum door.
^Load the laundry loosely into the drum.
Do not overload the drum. See the
Programme chart in the Drying
section for recommended loads for each
programme. Overloading can cause
unnecessary wear and tear to the
laundry and give a disappointing drying
result.
EClose the drum door
Make sure you have removed any
detergent dispensing aids, e.g. plastic
dispenser balls, before drying. These
dispensers can melt during the drying
programme and cause damage to the
machine and the laundry.
Make sure that no garments are caught
between the drum door and seal.
The stopcock must be open even if you
are only using the machine for drying.
FStart the programme
^
Press the flashingStart/Stopbutton.
The estimated programme duration will
appear in the display. The electronics
continually assess the residual moisture
content of the laundry and adjust the
estimated time remaining for a more
accurate reading. Because of this the
time displayed can alter during the
course of a programme. The time
remaining will count down in one minute
steps. The programme sequence andthe drying level reached will also be
shown in the display.
The drum lighting switches off once the
programme has started.
GRemove the laundry when the
programme has finished
In the anti-crease phase after the
programme has finished, the following
will appear alternately in the display:
Anti-crease
and
i
Programme finished.
Remove laundry, then
switch the machine off.
^Turn the programme selector to the
Stopposition.
^Open the drum door.
^Remove the laundry.
Check that all items have been removed
from the drum. If items are left in the
dryer, they could be damaged by
overdrying when the dryer is next used.
Important:Always remove the laundry
before switching the machine off. This is
important to ensure that the load size
indicator works correctly the next time the
machine is used.
^
Switch the machine off.
