Miele Wt 2679 I Wpm Operating Instructions

							The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system
protects machine from water damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit and the machine
housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
– The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressure of more than 14,000 kPa.
– It has a protective sleeve which is
made from metal to protect the hose
from damage.
2) Electronic unit and 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 maching 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
machine from being emptied
completely.
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
washer-dryer 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
reducer 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.
This 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 which is
pressure tested to 14,000 kPa should
you ever need a replacement or
extension.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet
valve connection must not be
removed.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose
is available from your Miele dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Department as an
optional extra.
This hose is tested to withstand
pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can
be used as a flexible extension to the
water supply.
Installation and connection
72
 
						

							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 purchased 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
national and local safety regulations.
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.
The voltage and connected load are
given on the data plate. Please ensure
these match the household mains
supply. The fuse rating is quoted on the
plug.
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.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE EARTHED

							Gentle action
Activating gentle action reduces the
drum action and is suitable for
washing slightly soiled items more
gently. It should be activated for
garments with a single bar under the
care label and for articles which feel
too hard after they have been dried.
Gentle action can be activated for the
Cottonsand theMinimum iron
programmes.
If Gentle action has been activated the
wash rhythm will be gentle in all Cottons
and Minimum iron programmes.
The machine is delivered with the
Gentle action setting deactivated.
A tick will appear beside the option to
show that it has been set.
Suds cooling
When this is activated, additional
water flows into the drum at the end
of the main wash to cool the suds
down. Hot suds can damage plastic
drainage pipes.
Suds cooling takes place when a
Cottons 95-75°Cprogramme is
selected.
Suds cooling should be activated:
–
to prevent the danger of scalding if
the drain hose is hooked over the
edge of a sink or basin.
–
where the drainage pipes do not
comply with DIN 1986.The machine is delivered with Suds
cooling deactivated.
A tick will appear beside the option to
show that it has been set.
Door release
When this setting is activated the
drum door can be opened during a
drying programme at temperatures
up to 70°C.
If the Door release setting is
deactivated, the door can only be
opened at temperatures up to 55°C.
,Warning: High temperatures
can cause burning or scalding.
The machine is delivered with this
setting activated.
