This document is the operating instructions for the Miele Automatic Detergent Dispensing Unit AWD 10.
The Miele Automatic Detergent Dispensing Unit AWD 10 is designed to automatically dispense detergent for washing machines. It consists of a base unit that holds two containers: one for liquid detergent and one for powder detergent. The unit connects to a compatible Miele washing machine, allowing for programmed automatic detergent dispensing during wash cycles. This system aims to simplify the washing process by ensuring the correct amount of detergent is used, thereby optimizing wash results and preventing issues related to under- or over-dosing. The unit is intended for domestic use with detergents designed for washing fabrics.
The unit features two distinct containers:
It includes indicator lights on the front panel:
Connections at the rear of the unit include:
The unit is designed to be positioned in various ways: on the lid of the washing machine, beside the washing machine (e.g., on a shelf), fixed to a wall with an optional wall bracket, or in a unit next to the washing machine. A positioning guide is supplied to secure the unit, especially when placed on the washing machine lid, to prevent movement during spinning. The positioning guide has specific dimensions: >94 mm in length and >32 mm in width, to ensure the dispensing unit does not protrude over the washing machine lid.
Installation and Connection: The unit can be positioned in multiple locations relative to the washing machine. A positioning guide is provided to secure the unit, particularly on the washing machine lid, to prevent movement during operation. The hoses connect to specific openings on both the washing machine and the dispensing unit, with different diameters to ensure correct connection. Screws are provided to secure the hoses. The electrical connection is made via a plug connector that attaches to a socket at the rear of the washing machine.
Adding Detergent: Users must ensure the correct type of detergent is filled into each container (liquid into the liquid container, powder into the powder container). Both containers have lids that should be closed after filling to prevent drying out, clumping (for powder), and foreign objects from entering. The liquid detergent container has a valve at the bottom that opens automatically when placed on the base. For optimal filling, liquid detergent bottles can be placed upside down over the container.
Preparing the Washing Machine: The washing machine needs to be programmed for automatic detergent dispensing. This process is detailed in the washing machine's operating instructions under the "Automatic detergent dispensing" section.
