pose a considerable risk to the user
which is not covered by the
manufacturer. Repairs should only be
performed by a Miele approved
technician.
Save these instructions and pass
them on to any future user.
WARNING - To reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock or injury:
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or
repair work is being performed. The
machine is only completely isolated
from the electrical supply when it is
turned off at the main switch and the
plug is pulled or by tripping the circuit
breaker.
Technical Safety
Check the packaging, the washer
and accessories for any signs of
damage. Do not use a damaged
appliance.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (circuit protection,
voltage and frequency) match the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use
Do not wash articles that have
been previously cleaned, washed
soaked or spotted with gasoline,
organic substances dry-cleaning
solvents, or any other flammable
substances. These articles give off
vapors that could ignite or explode. Do
not add these items to the washload.
Only use the washing machine to
wash items which are specified by
the manufacturer to be machine
washable on the fabric care label. Any
other applications may cause
undesirable results. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damage
caused by improper use of the
appliance.
Before using the machine for the
first time, check that the shipping
struts at the rear of the machine have
been removed (see "Installation"). If the
shipping struts are still in place during
spinning, damage may result to both
the machine and adjacent furniture or
appliances.
This appliance is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as recreational
vehicles or aircraft. However, under
certain conditions it may be possible for
installation in these applications. Please
contact the Miele Technical Service
Department with specific requirements.
Turn off the water supply if the
machine is to be left for any length
of time (e.g. vacation).
Do not install this machine in rooms
where temperatures below freezing
may occur. Frozen hoses may burst
under pressure. The reliability of the
electronic control unit may be impaired
at temperatures below freezing.
Overflow hazard!
Check that the drain can
accommodate the water flow before
operating the washer.
Make certain the drain hose is secured
in the drain, otherwise the force of the
expelled water could cause the drain
hose to come out of the drain.
Be sure that foreign objects (e.g.
nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do
not find their way into the machine.
These items may damage the
machine, which may also cause
damage to the laundry.

Installation
^ 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.
The washer cannot be built-in.
,Do not install the machine
directly next to or over an open floor
drain or drain channel. Moisture can
penetrate the machine and damage
electrical parts.
,Ensure that the machine’s feet
and the floor are dry to prevent
slippage during the spin cycle.
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.
Removing the shipping struts
^ Remove the left and right rotary
protectors.
,If the machine is installed on a
masonry or concrete base it must
be secured with retaining clips to
prevent the washer from vibrating off
the stand during the spin cycle.
^ The machine must be leveled and
securely positioned.
^ To avoid vibration while spinning, the
machine should not be installed on
soft floor coverings.
In case the installation must be on a
wooden joist floor:
^ Install the unit on a 27 9/16" x 23 5/8" x
1 3/16" (70 x 60 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.
1. Unhook the rotary protector with a
screw driver.
2. Remove the rotary protectors.
It is best to install the washer in the
corner of a room, where the stability of
the floor is at its greatest.

Installation
,Movement of the washer without
the shipping struts in place should
be kept to a minimum. The shipping
struts should be stored on the back
of the washer for future use. They
must be reinstalled before moving
the machine.
Installing the shipping struts
^ Reinstall the struts by reversing the
installation procedure.
^ Close the holes with the rotary
protectors and their caps.
^ Fasten the shipping struts at the rear
side of the washer. Take care to insert
the drill holes, b, into the clamps, a.

Leveling the washer
Adjust the four leveling feet
The washer is leveled by adjusting the
four feet. The machine is boxed with the
feet completely screwed in.
To ensure smooth operation the washer
must be level.
Failure to level the machine can result
in increased water and energy
consumption as well as the washer
"banging" during the spin cycle or
"walking" across the floor during use.
^ Turn the locking nut, 2, counter-
clockwise with the enclosed
combination wrench. Unscrew each
of the four feet as much as necessary
by turning both the foot, 1, and the
locking nut, 2, to the left.
^ Check that the machine stands level.
^ Once level, hold the foot, 1, steady
with a wrench. Turn the locking nut, 2,
with the combination wrench towards
the machine.
,All four locking nuts must be
tight against the bottom of the
machine. In addition, check to see
that the feet were not inadvertently
unscrewed while tightening the nuts.
Running a machine that is not level
or whose feet are not tight may
cause damage to both the machine
and its surrounding area.
