Before using for the first time
The appliance must be correctly
installed and connected before the
first use. Please see the "Installation
instructions".
For safety reasons, it is not possible to
run a spin cycle before the first use. A
program must be run without laundry
and detergent to flush out any residual
water from the factory testing process,
as well as to activate the spin cycle.
Using detergent can cause sudsing
and ball valve activation, resulting in
the need to use the maximum amount
of detergent in the future.

^ Press the "On / Off" button.
^ Select the "Extra White" program with
the program buttons.

– Remove any lead weights or strips
from curtains before washing.
– Loose underwires should be
removed or sewn in place before
washing.
– Woolens and knitted garments
should be turned inside out.
– Close zippers and hooks and eyes
before washing.
,Foreign objects left in pockets
(e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.)
can cause damage to clothes and
the machine.
– Comforter covers and pillowcases
should be fastened in order to
prevent small items from rolling
inside of them.
^ Sort the laundry.

6. Add detergent
For optimum wash results, it is
important to use the correct amount of
detergent.
Too little detergent may cause:
– Ineffective cleaning of laundry;
fabrics may become gray and stiff
over time.
– Grease stains on the laundry.
– Hard water deposits on the heating
element.
^ Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer and add detergent to the
compartments.
Too much detergent may cause:
– Oversudsing with minimal drum
movement; poor wash, rinse and
spin results.
j = Detergent for the main wash
i = Only add detergent (1/4 of the
total recommended amount of
detergent) to this compartment
if the "Heavy Soil" wash option
is selected.
– Higher water consumption through
an automatic, additional rinse cycle.
– Higher environmental burden.

Detergent
Use only high efficiency, low sudsing
laundry detergent formulated for
front loading washing machines.
For wool and wool blend fabrics, use a
detergent specially formulated for
woolens.
Follow instructions on the detergent
packaging to ensure the correct usage
and dosage amount. Adjust the amount
of detergent if the load is smaller or
more or less soiled than normal.
Add detergent to the main wash

detergent (1/4 of the total recommended
amount) to compartment i if the
"Heavy Soil" option was selected.

amount of detergent. It also prevents
the detergent for the main wash from
being used during the Pre-wash when
the "Heavy Soil" option is used.

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
hardness level in your area, contact
your local water authority.
The detergent packaging should
indicate the correct amount to use in
your machine. Add the detergent, then
add the water softener. You can then
use the recommended amount of
detergent for water hardness level I.

Cleaning the water inlet filters
The washer has two water inlet filters to
protect each inlet valve. These filters
should be checked and cleaned if
necessary every 6 months. This may
need to be done more frequently with
some water supplies.
^ Turn off the water supply.
^ Unscrew the inlet hose from the valve
by turning the connector counter-
clockwise using a wrench if
necessary.
^ Remove the rubber seal, 1, from the
connector.
^ Using needle nose pliers, grasp the
plastic filter, 2, and pull it out of the
hose connector.
^ Clean the filter under running water
and carefully remove any large
particles.
^ Replace the filter and seal then
reconnect the hose.
^ Slowly turn on the valve and check
for leaks. If water leaks, tighten the
bolt.
Both filters must be put back in
place after cleaning.

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 leveled 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 performed on
a wooden floor:
^ Install the unit on a
2 ft. x 2 ft. x 1 3/16"
(61 x 61 x 3 cm) 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 Miele.
If installed on a masonry or concrete
base, the base should have a 1/2" to
3/4" (12-20 mm) high rim. This is
required to prevent the washer from
vibrating off the stand during the
spin cycle.

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 noises during the
spin cycle or "walking" across the floor
during use.
^ Check that the machine stands level.
^ Once level, hold the foot, 1, steady
with a wrench. Turn the locking ring,
2, with the combination wrench
towards the machine.
Adjust the four leveling feet
The washer is leveled 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.

switch to cold water after several
minutes.
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.
