Miele W 1913, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 12 / 68

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
completed a comprehensive
functional test. A small quantity of
water remains in the drum as a result.
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.
