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.  
Correct use  
Do not install your washing machine  
~
in rooms where temperatures below  
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may  
burst or split. The reliability of the  
electronic control unit may be impaired  
at temperatures below freezing point.  
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 container, drum), which in  
turn can result in damage to the  
laundry.  
Before using the washing machine  
~
for the first time, check that the transit  
bars at the rear of the machine have  
been removed (see section on  
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit  
bar which is still in place may result in  
damage to both the machine and  
adjacent furniture or appliances.  
If the correct amount of detergent is  
~
dispensed, the machine should not  
need to be descaled. If, however, you  
do wish to descale the machine only  
use proprietary non-corrosive descaling  
agents and strictly observe the  
instructions on the packaging. A  
special descaling agent is available to  
order from the Miele Spare Parts  
Department or via the internet on

Programme duration  
After a programme has started, the  
maximum programme duration (wash  
time) will appear in the display in hours  
and minutes.  
In the Cottons, Minimum iron and Auto-  
matic programmes, the machine

absorbed by the laundry and uses this  
to calculate the load during the first 10  
minutes. If the machine recognises a  
smaller load it will shorten the  
programme time.

Before using for the first time  
Before using the machine for the first  
time ensure that it is correctly  
installed and connected. See  
"Installation and connection". Also  
check that the drain filter is securely  
tightened. Otherwise there is a risk  
of water leakage during use.  
For safety reasons spinning is not  
possible until the machine has been  
prepared for using for the first time. To  
activate the spinning function you must  
run a wash programme without laundry  
and without detergent.  
Using detergent could result in an  
excessive build-up of foam.  
This also activates the ball valve. The  
ball valve prevents detergent escaping  
from the suds container into the sump  
during a wash programme, thus making  
maximum use of the detergent.  
^ Open the stopcock.  
^ Press the I-On/0-Off button in.  
^ Turn the programme selector to  
Cottons 60°C.  
^ Press Start.  
When this programme has finished turn  
the programme selector to Finish. Your  
washing machine is ready for using for  
the first time.

Energy and water consumption  
Detergent  
– Water consumption and energy  
usage are determined by the size of  
the load.  
– Do not exceed the amounts of  
detergent recommended by the  
manufacturer on the packaging.  
To make the most out of your  
machine, load the maximum dry load  
for the programme you are using.  
– Reduce the amount of detergent with  
smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than  
the amount recommended can be  
used when washing a half load).  
– Use the Automatic or the Quick wash  
programmes for small loads.  
Additional options  
– When smaller amounts of laundry are  
washed using the Cottons  
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)  
programmes, the automatic load  
recognition system will reduce the  
amount of water, time and energy  
used. This may mean that the  
programme duration is adjusted  
during the course of the wash  
programme.  
Select:  
A wash programme together with the  
Short option for light to normal soiling  
where there are no obvious marks.  
A wash programme without any  
additional options for normal to  
heavy soiling with visible staining.  
– Instead of using the Cottons 95°C  
programme, use the Cottons 60°C  
programme. This will give an energy  
saving of between 35% and 45%.  
This combination is sufficient for  
most levels of soiling. For stubborn or  
old stains, use the Soak option.  
A wash programme together with the  
Soak option for heavily soiled  
laundry.  
– Use the additional option Soak  
instead of Pre-wash. If Soak is  
followed immediately by a main wash  
the same suds are 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.

Detergent  
All modern detergents produced for  
automatic washing machines are  
suitable, including liquid, compact  
(concentrated), tablets, liquid tablets  
and special application detergents.  
Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these  
are supplied with the detergent. Tablets  
are suitable for full loads but note that it  
may be impractical to reduce tablets for  
smaller loads. Some tablets do not  
dissolve as rapidly as others and may  
not be suitable for Quick wash  
The right amount to dispense will  
depend on the following:  
– The quantity of laundry.  
– The soiling level of the laundry.  
Lightly soiled  
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly  
slight body odour.  
Normally soiled  
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight  
stains.  
Heavily soiled  
Stains and soiling clearly visible.  
– The water hardness level.  
Check with your local water supplier  
if you do not know the water  
hardness level in your area.

Washing with several  
components  
If you wash using several components  
(e.g. special application detergents),  
dispense them into compartment j in  
the following order:  
For programmes with a pre-wash you  
will need to purchase a special con-  
tainer from the Miele Spare Parts de-

from the jets inside the detergent  
dispenser drawer housing.  
2. Replace the siphon.  
Descaling the machine  
If starching frequently, thoroughly  
clean the siphon and siphon tube  
regularly. A build-up of starch will  
cause them to get clogged.  
If the correct amount of detergent is  
dispensed, the machine should not  
need to be descaled. If, however, you  
do wish to descale the machine only  
use proprietary non-corrosive descaling  
agents and strictly observe the

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the water inlet filters  
To clean the filter in the water inlet  
valve:  
The washing machine has two filters to  
protect the inlet valves.  
^ Using pliers, carefully loosen the  
ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve  
and unscrew.  
These filters should be checked every  
six months or so, or more often if there  
are frequent interruptions to the water  
supply.  
To clean the filter in the union in the  
open end of the inlet hose:  
^ First turn off the stopcock.  
^ Unscrew the threaded union  
connecting the free end of the inlet  
hose to the stopcock.

Installation and connection  
Installation surface  
Installing the washing machine  
A concrete floor is the most suitable  
installation surface for a washing  
machine, being far less prone to  
vibration during the spin cycle than  
wooden floorboards or a carpeted  
surface.  
To manoeuvre the machine out of its  
packing case to its installation site hold  
it by the edge of the lid where it  
protrudes to the rear of the washing  
machine as well as by the handle  
recesses at the front.  
Please note the following points:  
,Ensure that the machine feet and  
the floor are dry to prevent the  
machine from slipping during the  
spin cycle.  
^ The machine must be level and  
securely 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 59x52x3 cm). The base  
should span several joists and be  
bolted to the joists and not only to the  
floorboards. Check for the presence  
of pipes and cables.  
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  
using retaining clips (available from  
the Miele Spare Parts Dept).  
^ To remove the left and right covers  
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the  
cover as illustrated.  
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

holes for the transit bars must be  
covered after the transit bars have  
been removed.  
^ Secure the transit bars to the back of  
the washing machine. Make sure that  
holes b are fitted over retainers a.  
,The washing machine must not  
be moved without the transit bars in  
place.  
^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.  
Then plug the holes as shown with  
the caps.  
Store the transit bars 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).

Installation and connection  
Levelling the machine  
The machine must stand perfectly level  
on all four feet to ensure safe and  
proper operation.  
Incorrect installation may increase  
electricity 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  
delivered.  
^ Use a spirit level to check the  
machine is standing level.  
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe  
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again  
using 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 the danger of the machine  
moving about.  
^ Using the spanner supplied turn  
counter nut 2 in a clockwise  
direction. Then turn counter nut 2  
together with foot 1 to unscrew.

Installation and connection  
The Miele water protection  
system  
– Overflow protection  
This prevents the washing machine  
taking in too much water. If the water  
level exceeds a certain level, the  
drain pump switches in and pumps  
the excess water away.  
The Miele water protection system  
protects the washing machine from  
water damage.  
The system consists of three main  
components:  
3) Drain hose  
1) the inlet hose  
The drain hose is protected by a  
ventilation system which prevents the  
washing machine from being  
emptied completely.  
2) the electronic unit and the washing  
machine housing  
3) the drain hose  
1) Inlet hose  
The inlet hose can withstand  
pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.  
2) Electronic unit and washing  
machine housing  
– Sump  
Any leaking water is collected in a  
sump in the base of the machine. A  
float switches off the safety valves,  
preventing any more water flowing  
into the machine and water in the  
suds container is pumped away.

Installation and connection  
Connection to the water  
supply  
In order to protect the water inlet  
valve, the two dirt filters - one in the  
open end of the inlet hose, one at  
the inlet point in the machine must  
not be removed.  
The machine should be connected to a  
mains water supply in accordance with  
local and national safety regulations.  
The German authorities do not require it  
to have a non-return valve as the  
Extension hose  
washing machine has been designed  
to comply with DIN regulations.  
– Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length  
are available from your Miele dealer  
or the Miele Spare Parts Department  
as optional extras.  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a flow pressure of between  
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher  
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a  
pressure reducing valve.  
Connection to the mains water supply  
should incorporate a mains stopcock  
with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should  
be fitted by a qualified plumber.  
,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  
and connection to a household  
water softener is not recommended.  
Maintenance and care  
Only use a genuine Miele hose should  
you ever need a replacement or  
extension. These are tested to  
withstand pressure of at least  
7,000 kPa.

Installation and connection  
Connection to the drainage  
system  
Drain hose connection:  
1. Direct into a sink or basin:  
Please note the following  
The machine drains via a drain pump  
with a delivery head of 1 metre*.  
– Hook the hose over the edge and  
secure.  
The drain hose must not be kinked as  
this restricts drainage. The swivel elbow  
at the end of the hose can be turned in  
either direction, or can be detached if  
required, with a sharp twist and pull.  
– Make sure that the water can drain  
away freely without hindrance.  
Otherwise there is a risk of water  
overflowing or of some of the drained  
water being sucked back into the  
machine.  
If required, the drain hose can be  
extended to a length of 5 m. The  
necessary parts can be purchased  
from the Miele Spare Parts Department  
or your Miele dealer.  
2. Connected securely to a plastic  
drain pipe with a rubber nipple.  
There is no need to use a non-return  
valve.  
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m  
(up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a second  
duo-drain pump is available with the  
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare
