Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing mate‐  
rial  
The packaging is designed to protect  
the washing machine from damage dur‐  
ing transportation. The packaging ma‐  
terials used are selected from materials  
which are environmentally friendly for  
disposal and should be recycled.  
Disposal of your old machine  
Electrical and electronic machines often  
contain valuable materials. They also  
contain materials which, if handled or  
disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐  
tentially hazardous to human health and  
to the environment. They are, however,  
essential for the correct functioning of  
your machine. Please do not therefore  
dispose of it with your household  
waste.  
Recycling the packaging reduces the  
use of raw materials in the manufactur‐  
ing process and also reduces the  
amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure  
that any plastic wrappings, bags etc.  
are disposed of safely and kept out of  
the reach of babies and young children.  
Danger of suffocation.  
Please dispose of it at your local com‐  
munity waste collection / recycling cen‐  
tre or contact your Dealer for advice.  
Ensure that it presents no danger to  
children while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions  
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaran‐  
teed when correctly earthed.  
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any  
doubt, please have the wiring system of the building tested by a  
qualified electrician.  
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate  
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).  
Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity sup‐  
ply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do  
not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to  
the risk of overheating).  
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele origi‐  
nal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran‐  
tee the safety standards of the machine.  
The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation  
so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply  
if necessary.  
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the  
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs  
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician,  
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guar‐  
antee.  
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced  
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from  
danger.

Warning and Safety instructions  
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when  
cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.  
The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage  
provided the following conditions are met:  
– the machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the elec‐  
tricity supply.  
– if a fault or damage has been identified, the machine must be ex‐  
amined by a competent person before further use, and repaired if  
necessary.  
The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should not  
exceed 1000 kPa.  
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or  
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its  
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which  
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered  
by the guarantee.  
The machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.  
on a ship).  
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to  
do so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Correct use  
Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk  
of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the elec‐  
tronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing  
point.  
Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit  
bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation  
and connection - Removing the transit bars"). During spinning, a  
transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the  
machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.  
Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of  
time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the  
immediate vicinity.  
Flooding danger.  
If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can  
drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Make  
sure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowing  
out of the hose does not dislodge it.  
Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,  
paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.  
These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds contain‐  
er, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam  
function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high  
temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass.  
Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dis‐  
sipated.  
The maximum load for this washing machine is 8 kg (dry weight).  
See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads  
for individual programmes.  
If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine  
should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale  
it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent.  
Miele recommends using Miele descaling agent which is available to  
order online at www.miele-shop.com or from Miele. Strictly observe  
the instructions on the packaging.  
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning  
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being wash‐  
ed in the machine.  
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing  
benzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component  
parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and ex‐  
plosion hazard.  
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing  
benzine, to clean the surfaces of the machine. They can cause dam‐  
age to plastic surfaces.  
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for  
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufac‐  
turer's instructions carefully.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which  
can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in  
this machine.  
If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thor‐  
oughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical  
assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for refer‐  
ence. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their  
skin coming into contact with detergent.  
Accessories  
Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by  
Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product  
liability claims will be invalidated.  
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing  
machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional  
accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele  
washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.  
If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an optional  
accessory, depending on country), please make sure you order the  
correct one for this washing machine.  
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compli‐  
ance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

To use the TwinDos function, you need  
to specify the following information for

or  
2. any other liquid detergent and/or fab‐  
ric conditioner  
1. the detergent type and/or fabric  
conditioner with which the contain‐  
ers are filled.  
The Miele 2 Phase System  
The Miele 2 Phase System uses a base  
detergent (UltraPhase 1) and a deter‐  
gent enhancer (UltraPhase 2). In order  
to achieve optimum results, the agents  
are dispensed separately during the  
wash process. The 2 Phase System  
cleans both white and coloured textiles  
thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and  
UltraPhase 2 single use cartridges are  
available to order from Miele or via the  
internet at www.miele-shop.com (see  
end of this booklet for contact details).  
2. the dosage amount of the liquid de‐  
tergent or fabric conditioner. The  
dosage amount for Miele products is  
pre-set at the factory.  
Do not fill the containers with any  
specialist detergents. Use cap dos‐  
ing or the detergent dispenser draw‐  
er for these.  
Automatic dispensing cannot be selec‐  
ted with some programmes, depending  
on the detergent present in the TwinDos  
system. For example, automatic dis‐  
pensing cannot be activated for the  
Woollens programme if the Miele 2  
Phase System is being used. This pre‐  
vents woollen garments being dam‐  
aged by a detergent which is not suita‐  
ble for washing wool.  
Liquid detergent/Fabric conditioner

– Water consumption and energy us‐  
age are determined by the size of the  
load.  
– For precise dispensing use automatic  
detergent dispensing.  
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of  
soiling of the laundry.  
To make the most of your machine,  
load the maximum dry load for the  
programme you are using.  
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter‐  
gent recommended by the manufac‐  
turer on the packaging.  
– When smaller amounts of laundry are  
washed, the automatic load recogni‐  
tion system will reduce the amount of  
water and energy used.  
When drying with a tumble dryer  
Selecting the highest possible spin  
speed for the wash programme will  
save energy when drying in a tumble  
dryer afterwards.  
– Use the Express 20 programme for  
small, lightly soiled loads.  
– Modern detergents make it possible  
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.  
20°C). Washing using lower tempera‐  
ture settings will save energy.  
To maintain the hygiene of the ma‐  
chine, carry out a hot wash (60°C or  
above) using powder detergent at  
regular intervals. Hygiene info will ap‐  
pear in the display to remind you to  
carry out a hot wash.

er's instructions. With particularly stub‐  
born stains ask your dry cleaner for ad‐  
vice.

benzine) to pre-treat a stain, make  
sure that any plastic parts (e.g. but‐  
tons) are protected, and that the  
cleaning agent is rinsed off before  
washing the garment in the machine.  
Empty all pockets.  
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,  
paper clips, etc.) can cause damage  
to garments and to components in  
the machine.  
Do not use solvent-based clean‐  
ing agents in or on this machine.  
General tips  
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first  
or place in a laundry bag.  
Sort the laundry  
Sort the laundry by colour and by  
care label. Most garments have a tex‐  
tile care label in the collar or side  
seam.  
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any  
loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiff‐  
eners, etc. should be removed or  
sewn in.  
Tip: Dark textiles often contain excess  
dye and should be washed separately  
several times before being included in a  
mixed load. Always wash whites and  
coloureds separately.  
– Close any zips, attach velcro fasten‐  
ers, fasten hooks and eyes etc. be‐  
fore washing.  
– Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases  
etc. to prevent small items from being  
rolled up inside them.  
Pre-treat stains  
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should  
be cleaned as soon as possible, pref‐  
erably whilst still fresh. Spillages  
should be carefully dabbed off using  
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.  
Do not wash any items in this washing  
machine which are specified by the  
manufacturer as not washable on the  
care label (symbol).

3. Load the washing machine  
Open the door  
Close the door  
Reach under the door grip and pull  
the door open.  
Make sure that no items are caught  
between the door and the seal.  
Unfold the laundry and load loosely  
into the drum.  
Mixing both large and small items  
gives better wash results and also  
helps distribute the load evenly during  
spinning.  
Please note the maximum load for the  
different wash programmes. The rele‐  
vant programme load is always shown  
in the display when you select a pro‐  
gramme.  
Shut the door with a gentle swing.  
The most efficient use of energy and  
water is achieved when a full load is  
washed. However, do not overload as  
this reduces cleaning efficiency and  
causes creases.

5. Add detergent  
Detergent dispenser drawer  
Too little detergent results in:  
– Laundry not getting properly clean  
and with time it may become grey  
and hard to the touch.  
– Greasy particles clinging to laundry.  
– Limescale deposits on the heater ele‐  
ments.  
Too much detergent results in:  
– Excessive foam which causes a low  
level of agitation and poor wash,  
rinse and spin results.  
Pull out the detergent dispenser  
drawer and add detergent to the  
compartments as follows:  
– High water consumption (an addi‐  
tional rinse cycle will automatically  
switch in).  
Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the

Deactivating/changing CapDosing  
Touch the Cap sensor and follow  
the instructions in the display.  
If a capsule is being used, fabric

ECO  
This option reduces energy consump‐  
tion whilst maintaining cleaning efficien‐  
cy. This is achieved by increasing the  
wash duration and at the same time re‐  
ducing the wash temperature selected.  
Extra gentle  
This option decreases mechanical ac‐  
tion in order to reduce creasing. The  
laundry also undergoes a smoothing  
process at the end of the programme.  
Extra quiet  
This option reduces noise levels during  
the programme. Use this if you want to

This option should be used where high  
standards of hygiene are required. More  
energy is used to lengthen temperature  
holding times and more water is used  
to increase rinsing efficiency.  
ProgrammeManager  
The ProgrammeManager option can be  
used to customise the washing pro‐  
grammes to suit your requirements.  
Not all ProgrammeManager options  
are suitable for use with every pro‐  
gramme. Please refer to the "Wash

Options  
Pre-ironing   
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry  
undergoes a smoothing process at the  
end of the programme. Reducing the  
maximum load by 50% will give a bet‐  
ter result. Please note the load informa‐  
tion in the display. Small loads give a  
better result.  
The garments must be suitable for dry‐  
ing in a tumble dryer   and suitable

Short  
Use this option for light soiling with no  
visible staining.  
The wash duration is reduced.  
Water plus  
The water level in the wash and rinse  
stages is increased and a second rinse  
is carried out in the "Separate rinse /  
Starch" programme.  
You can select other functions for the  
Water plus button. These are described  
in "Settings".  
Stains  
In order to clean stained laundry more

Detergent  
The correct detergent  
Dispensing aids  
All detergents produced for automatic  
washing machines are suitable. Follow  
the manufacturer's instructions and  
dosage recommendations on the pack‐  
aging.  
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these  
are supplied with the detergent, partic‐  
ularly when using liquid detergent.  
Refill packs of detergent  
When purchasing detergent buy refill  
packs wherever possible. This helps re‐  
duce the amount of waste packaging.  
The right amount to dispense  
will depend on the following:  
– the soiling level of the load  
Fabric conditioner and liquid  
starch  
Fabric conditioner  
makes garments soft to handle and  
helps prevent static cling when tumble  
drying.  
– the quantity of the laundry  
– the water hardness level.  
Check with your local water supplier  
if you do not know the hardness level  
in your area.  
Starch  
Water softeners  
stiffens and gives body to items of  
laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed  
linen.  
A water softener can be used to cut  
down on the use of detergents in areas  
with water hardness levels II and III.  
Dispense according to the amount  
specified on the packaging. First add  
detergent and then the water softener.  
You can then use the recommended  
amount of detergent for water hardness  
level I.

Transporting the washing ma‐  
chine to its installation site  
To manoeuvre the washing machine out  
of its packing case to its installation  
site, hold it by the front feet as well as  
by the edge of the lid where it protrudes  
to the rear of the machine.  
A concrete floor is the most suitable in‐  
stallation surface for a washing ma‐  
chine, being far less prone to vibration  
during the spin cycle than wooden  
floorboards or a carpeted surface.  
Please note:  
The machine must be level and se‐  
Ensure that the machine feet and  
the floor are dry to prevent the ma‐  
chine from slipping during the spin  
cycle.  
curely positioned.  
To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
Removing the transit bars  
If installing on a wooden joist floor:  
We recommend a plywood base at  
least 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base  
should span several joists and be  
bolted to the joist and not only the  
floorboards. Check for the presence  
of pipes and cables first.  
Tip: If possible, install the machine in a  
corner, as this is usually the most stable  
part of the floor.  
If the machine is installed on a  
raised plinth, it has to be secured  
against slippage during spinning us‐  
ing retaining clips (available from  
Miele). Otherwise there is the danger  
of the machine moving and falling off  
the plinth.  
To remove the left and right covers  
1. Pull on the attached stopper,  
2. then use a screwdriver to release the  
catches at the top and bottom.

been removed.  
Secure the transit bars to the back of  
the washing machine. Make sure the  
top catch is located above the holder.  
The washing machine must not  
be moved without the transit bars in  
place. Store them as shown or keep  
them in a safe place for future use.  
They must be re-fitted if the machine  
is to be moved again (e.g. when  
moving house).  
Plug the holes with the plastic caps  
as illustrated.  
Re-fitting the transit bars  
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the  
procedure.

Installation and connection  
Levelling the machine  
The washing machine must stand per‐  
fectly level on all four feet to ensure  
safe and proper operation.  
Incorrect installation may increase elec‐  
tricity and water consumption and may  
cause the machine to move about.  
Screwing out and adjusting the feet  
The four adjustable screw feet are used  
to level the machine. All four feet are  
screwed in when the machine is deliv‐  
ered.  
Use a spirit level to check that the  
washing machine is standing level.  
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe  
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again us‐  
ing the spanner supplied until it sits  
firmly up against the housing.  
All four counternuts must be  
firmly up against the housing. Please  
also check this for the feet which did  
not need adjustment. Otherwise  
there is a danger of the machine  
moving about.  
Using the spanner supplied turn  
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direc‐  
tion. Then turn counter nut 2 together  
with foot 1 to unscrew.

Installation and connection  
Inlet hose  
The water protection system  
– The casing on the inlet hose contains  
two solenoid valves , which cut off  
the water intake directly at the stop‐  
cock. These valves provide two-fold  
protection. In the event that one of  
the valves is faulty, the other valve  
will cut off the water intake.  
The Miele water protection system pro‐  
tects all parts of the washing machine  
from water damage.  
The system consists of three main  
components:  
– the inlet hose  
Blocking the water intake at the stop‐  
cock means that the inlet hose is on‐  
ly under pressure whilst water is be‐  
ing taken into the machine. For the  
remainder of the time, pressure on  
the inlet hose is negligible.  
– the electronic unit and drainage and  
overflow protection  
– the drain hose  
The Waterproof System (WPS)  
– Protection against the solenoid  
valves bursting  
The solenoid valves are pressure tes‐  
ted to between 7,000 kPa and 10,000  
kPa against bursting.  
1
– The double-skinned inlet hose has  
a pressure-resistant inner hose and a  
protective sleeve. Any leaking water  
is fed into the sump through this  
protective sleeve. A float switch   
closes the solenoid valves, prevent‐  
ing any more water flowing into the  
machine and water in the suds con‐  
tainer is pumped away.

Installation and connection  
The electronic unit and drainage  
and overflow protection  
– Drainage protection  
Any leaking water is collected in the  
sump in the base of the machine.  
A float switch closes the solenoid  
valves , preventing any more water  
from flowing into the machine and  
water in the suds container is pum‐  
ped away.  
– Overflow protection  
If the water level exceeds a certain  
level, the drain pump switches in  
and pumps the excess water away in  
a controlled manner.  
Should the water level rise repeatedly  
in an uncontrolled way, the drain  
pump will switch on continuously,  
the washing machine will indicate  
that there is a fault and a tone will  
sound.  
Drain hose  
The drain hose is protected by a venti‐  
lation system which prevents the wash‐  
ing machine from being emptied com‐  
pletely.  
84  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Installation and connection  
The washing machine should be con‐  
nected to a mains water supply in ac‐  
cordance with current local and nation‐  
al safety regulations. The German au‐  
thorities do not require it to have a non-  
return valve as the washing machine  
has been designed to comply with DIN  
regulations.  
Connection to the water sup‐  
ply  
The casing on the water inlet  
hose contains electrical compo‐  
nents. It must not be connected in  
areas where there is the risk of water  
or other liquids reaching it, e.g. bath‐  
rooms.  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a flow pressure of between 100  
and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than 1,000  
kPa it is essential to fit a pressure re‐  
ducing valve.  
Connection to the mains water supply  
should incorporate a mains stopcock  
with a 3/4" threaded union. The stop‐  
cock should be fitted by a qualified  
plumber.  
The casing on the water inlet hose  
must not get wet.  
The connection point is subject  
to mains water pressure. Turn on the  
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.  
Correct the position of the washer  
and union if appropriate.  
The washing machine is not suitable  
for connection to a hot water supply.  
The protective sleeve of the hose  
must not be damaged or kinked.

Installation and connection  
Maintenance  
Only use a Miele Waterproof system  
hose should you need a replacement.  
Disconnect the machine from the elec‐  
tricity supply before unscrewing the wa‐  
terproof system inlet hose from the  
stopcock.  
In order to protect the water inlet  
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet  
valve connection must not be re‐  
moved.  
Extension hose  
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose  
is available from your Miele dealer or  
the Miele Spare Parts Department as an  
optional extra.This hose is tested to  
withstand pressures of up to 14,000  
kPa and can be used as a flexible ex‐  
tension to the water supply. N.B. Using  
this hose will render the Water system  
safety valve on the inlet hose ineffec‐  
tive.

Installation and connection  
3. Connected securely to a floor gully.  
4. Connected securely to a standpipe.  
Please note:  
Connection to the drainage  
system  
The machine drains via a drain pump  
with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The  
drain hose must not be kinked as this  
restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at  
the end of the hose can be turned in ei‐  
ther direction, or can be detached if re‐  
quired, with a sharp twist and pull.  
If required, the drain hose can be exten‐  
ded to a length of 5 m. The necessary  
parts can be purchased from your Miele  
Dealer or Miele.  
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m  
(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacement  
drain pump will need to be fitted.  
Please contact Miele or your Miele  
Dealer for advice. If necessary, the  
drain hose can be extended to a length  
of 2.5 m. The necessary parts can be  
purchased from your Miele Dealer or  
Miele.

Suds cooling  
When this is activated, additional wa‐  
ter flows into the drum at the end of  
the main wash to cool the suds down.  
Hot suds can damage plastic drainage  
pipes.  
Suds cooling takes place when a tem‐  
perature of 70°C or higher is selected  
for the Cottons programme.  
Suds cooling should be activated:  
– to prevent the danger of scalding if  
the drain hose is hooked over the  
edge of a sink or basin.  
– where drainage pipes do not comply  
with DIN 1986.  
Factory default setting: Suds cooling is  
switched off.

The anti-crease function helps prevent  
creasing if laundry is not going to be

The drum continues to turn at intervals  
for up to 30 minutes at the end of the  
programme. The door can be opened at  
any time.
