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
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the wash‐
ing machine unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the washing machine un‐
supervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recog‐
nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washing
machine unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine
and do not let them play with it.
Technical safety
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and "Technical data".
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.

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 9 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.

1. the Miele 2 Phase System
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.

Energy and water consumption
Detergent
– 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.

1. Prepare the laundry
Tip: Badly soiled areas can be pre-trea‐
ted with liquid detergent, stain remov‐
ers etc. first, following the manufactur‐
er's instructions. With particularly stub‐
born stains ask your dry cleaner for ad‐
vice.
If you use a solvent-based
cleaning agent (e.g. one containing
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
Sort the laundry
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
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).

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.

drawer and add detergent to the
compartments as follows:
– High water consumption (an addi‐
tional rinse cycle will automatically
switch in).

Options
Options are selected and deselected
via the relevant buttons and the display.
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.
Extra quiet
This option reduces noise levels during
the programme. Use this if you want to
wash during quiet periods (for instance
when children are sleeping). The ma‐
chine will activate the "Rinse hold" op‐
tion and not spin. The programme dura‐
tion is longer.
Press the button for the option you
want.
The relevant button will light up.
Not all options are suitable for use with
every programme.
AllergoWash
You can only select options which are
compatible with the programme being
used.
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
programme chart - ProgrammeMan‐
ager" for a list of suitable pro‐
grammes.
Intensive
For hard-wearing laundry that is very
heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is in‐
creased through more intense mechani‐
cal action and the application of more
heat energy.
54

Options
Water plus
Steam smoothing
The water level in the wash and rinse
stages is increased.
Steam is injected into the drum at the
end of the wash process. Reducing the
maximum load by 50% will give a bet‐
ter result. For steam smoothing to work
properly there needs to be a certain
amount of residual moisture still present
in the laundry and so the final spin
speed is adjusted accordingly.
You can select by how much the water
level is increased, see "Settings, Water
plus level".
Pre-wash
For laundry with large amounts of dirt,
e.g. dust and sand.
The garments must be suitable for dry‐
ing in a tumble dryer and suitable
for ironing .
Extra rinse
An additional rinse cycle is carried out
to give a better rinse result.
Short
Use this option for light soiling with no
visible staining.
Rinse hold
The laundry is not spun after the final
rinse and remains in the final rinse wa‐
ter. This helps prevent creasing if the
laundry is not going to be removed
from the drum immediately after the
end of the programme.
The wash duration is reduced.
Stains
In order to clean stained laundry more
effectively you can choose from a list of
various types of stains. The wash pro‐
gramme will then adapt to the types of
stains selected. You can select a maxi‐
mum of three stains per wash cycle.
Further options
Soak
For heavily soiled and stained items
with protein stains.
A duration of between 30 minutes and 5
hours in 30 minute increments can be
chosen for the soak process. See "Set‐
tings" for more information.
The factory default setting is 30 mi‐
nutes.

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

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.

Cleaning the detergent dis‐
penser drawer
Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergent can cause bacte‐
ria and unpleasant odours to build up in
the washing machine. Use the Mainte‐
nance wash programme to clean the
machine. Run this programme regularly
or at the latest when Hygiene info: Start a
programme with a minimum temperature of
60°C. appears in the display.
Washing at low temperatures and the
use of liquid detergent can lead to a
build-up of mould and bacteria in the
detergent dispenser drawer.

tervals for hygiene reasons, even if
you are using the TwinDos system
exclusively.
External casing and fascia
panel
Disconnect the machine from
the mains electricity supply before
cleaning or maintenance.
The washing machine must not
be hosed down.

Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or multi-pur‐
pose cleaning agents. These could
damage plastic surfaces and other
parts.

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:

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.
