IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
These articles give off vapors that could
ignite or explode. Do not add these
items to the washload.
,WARNING - To reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons while using your appliance,
follow basic safety precautions,
including the following:
Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot
water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several
minutes before using the washing
machine. This will release any built up
hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time, as the gas
is flammable .
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric
current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
Before the appliance is removed
from service or discarded, remove
the door.
WARNING - Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Do not reach into the appliance if
the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
Do not tamper with
the controls.
Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance - if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically
recommended in these operating
instructions.
Do not wash articles that have
been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances.

Detergent
The amount of detergent used
depends on the level of soiling:
Use only high-efficiency, low
sudsing laundry detergent
formulated for front loading washing
machines.
Light soiling
No soiling or stains are visible.
Normal soiling
Some visible soiling or a few light
stains.
For wool and wool blend fabrics, use a
detergent specially formulated for
woolens.
Heavy soiling
Follow instructions on the detergent
packaging for the correct use and
amount of detergent. Adjust the amount
of detergent if the load is smaller or
more or less soiled than normal.
Very visible soiling or stains.
The size of the load and the water
hardness level in your area have an
impact on the amount of detergent
necessary to obtain optimum wash
results. If you do not know the water
level hardness in your area, contact
your local water authority.
Add detergent to the main wash
compartment j at the beginning of
each wash program.
Only add detergent (1/4 total
recommended amount) to compartment
i if the "Heavy Soil" option was
selected.

select the "Heavy Soil" option, use the
liquid detergent insert in the main
wash compartment j. This will
prevent the detergent for the main
wash from being used during the
prewash.

Installation
Installation site
Installation
A concrete floor is the most suitable
surface for the washer. Concrete floors
are less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floors.
Use the front washer feet and the rear
excess end to transport the washer
from its shipping pallet to the
installation site.
Do not lift the washer by the drum
door!
Note:
– The machine must be levelled and
securely positioned.
,Ensure that the machine’s feet
and the floor are dry to prevent
slippage during the spin cycle.
– To avoid vibration while spinning, the
machine should not be installed on
soft floor coverings.
Remove the shipping struts
If the installation must be on a wooden
joist floor:
^ Install the unit on a
23 1/4" x 20 1/2" x 1 3/16" (59x52x3cm)
plywood base. Ideally the base
should be large enough to span
several joists and should be
anchored to the joists and not just the
floor boards.
It is best to install the washer in the
corner of a room, where the stability of
the floor is at its greatest.
,If the machine is installed on a
raised platform, it must be secured
with retaining clips. These clips are
available from your dealer or the
Miele Technical Service Department.

Level the washer
To ensure smooth operation, the washer
must be level.
^ Turn the locking ring, 2,
counterclockwise with the enclosed
combination wrench. Unscrew each
of the four feet as much as necessary
by turning both the foot, 1, as well as
the locking ring, 2, to the left.
Failure to level the machine can result
in increased water and energy
consumption, loud noise during the
spin cycle or "walking" across the floor
during use.
^ Check that the machine stands level.
^ Once level, hold the foot, 1, immobile
with a wrench. Turn the locking ring,
2, with the combination wrench
towards the machine.
Adjust the four leveling feet
The washer is levelled by adjusting the
four feet:
,All four locking rings must be
tight against the bottom of the
machine. In addition, check to see
that the feet were not inadvertently
unscrewed while tightening the
rings. Running a machine that is not
level or whose feet are not tight may
cause damage to both the machine
and its surrounding area.
^ Tip the machine slightly and place a
support, such as a block of wood,
underneath it.
^ Unscrew each of the four feet as
much as necessary by turning both
the foot, 1, as well as the locking ring,
2, to the left using a screwdriver.
,CAUTION: The washer is
extremely heavy. When tipping the
machine, be careful that it does not
slip.

Tips for a hot water connection
Connect the cold water intake hose
(blue mark) to the cold water valve and
the hot water intake hose (red mark) to
the hot water valve.
– The hot water temperature from the
hot water valve must not exceed
140°F; the ideal temperature is
130°F.
If the machine is being connected to a
cold water supply only, both the hot
and cold water intake hoses must be
attached to the cold water valve
through the use of a Y adapter
If there is no water pressure at the hot
water inlet, the unit automatically
switches to cold water after several
minutes.
(available at a hardware store). Both
hoses must be connected to a water
source, or the machine will not function
properly. Do not connect the washer
to hot water only.
Turn on the valve(s) and check for
leaks. The water pressure must be
within 15-145 psi (1-10 bar). If the water
pressure is greater that 145 psi
(10 bar), a pressure reducer must be
installed. If the water pressure is below
15 psi (1 bar), there will not be enough
water available for a complete fill.
The water intake hoses are equipped
with screen filters. Do not remove these
filters except for cleaning.

1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose
over the edge of the sink and secure
it firmly (e.g. by tying the hose to the
water faucet).
If desired, the drain hose may be
extended to run a maximum of 16 feet,
as long as the 4 feet height is not
exceeded. Hose extensions are
available from your dealer or Miele’s
Technical Service Department.
2. To a stand pipe: place the drain
hose into a 1 1/2" stand pipe and
secure it firmly.
3. To a floor drain: The machine is
equipped with an airgap/
anti-siphoning system so that no
minimum drain height is required.
