Miele W 1614, Operating Manual

Page: 12 / 64

Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection". Also
check that the drain filter is securely
tightened to prevent the risk of water
leaks during use.
This washing machine has
undergone a thorough functional test
in the factory and there will be some
residual water in the drum from this
process.
For safety reasons, spinning is not
possible until the machine has been
prepared for using for the first time. To
activate the spinning function you must
run a wash programme without laundry
and without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an
excessive build-up of foam.
This also activates the ball valve. The
ball valve prevents detergent escaping
from the suds container into the sump
during a wash programme, thus making
maximum use of the detergent.

Press the I-On/0-Off button in.
If the washing machine is being
switched on for the first time, the
welcome screen will appear.
The welcome screen will appear in
the display every time the machine is
switched on until a programme
lasting longer than 1 hour has been
completed.
Setting the language
You will be asked to select the
language you require for the display. It
is possible to change the language at
any time via the programmable
functions.
