Warning and safety instructions  
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-  
fied electrician.  
Read the operating instructions be-  
fore using this machine for the first  
time. They contain important infor-  
mation about the safety, use and  
maintenance of the machine. This  
way you will avoid the risk of acci-  
dents and damage to the machine.  
Keep these operating instructions in  
a safe place and ensure that new  
users are familiar with the content.  
Pass them on to any future owner of  
the machine.  
The electrical safety of this appli-  
ance can only be guaranteed when  
continuity is complete between the ma-  
chine and an effective earthing system  
which complies with local and national  
regulations. It is most important that this  
basic safety requirement is regularly  
tested by a qualified electrician.  
The manufacturer cannot be held re-  
sponsible for the consequences of an  
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-  
tric shock).  
Correct usage  
Do not connect the appliance to  
the mains electricity supply by an  
extension lead. Extension leads do not  
guarantee the required safety of the ap-  
pliance (e.g. danger of overheating).  
Only use the washing machine to  
wash items which are specified by  
the manufacturer to be machine-wash-  
able on the wash-care label, and tex-  
tiles composed of hand-washable wool  
or wool blend fabrics as well as satin,  
lace, silk and other hand-washable gar-  
ments.  
Any other applications may be danger-  
ous. The manufacturer is not liable for  
damage resulting from improper use or  
operation.  
The machine is built in accordance  
with current safety requirements.  
Unauthorised repairs could result in un-  
foreseen dangers for the user, for which  
the manufacturer cannot accept re-  
sponsibility. Repairs should only be un-  
dertaken by a Miele approved engi-  
neer.  
This appliance should not be oper-  
ated by children. Supervise its use  
by the elderly or infirm.  
Ensure current is not supplied to the  
appliance while maintenance or repair  
work is being carried out.  
The machine is only completely  
isolated from the electricity supply  
when:  
Technical safety  
Before setting up the machine,  
check it for any externally visible  
damage. Do not install and use a dam-  
aged machine.  
– it is switched off at the wall socket  
and the plug is withdrawn, or  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.  
Before connecting the machine,  
ensure that the connection data on  
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-  
quency) match the mains electricity

not be re-used. Check the hose regu-  
first time, check that the transit fit-  
ting at the rear of the machine has been  
removed (see section on "Installation").

and subsequent damage.  
still in place may result in damage to  
both the machine and adjacent furni-  
ture or appliances.  
Faulty components must only be  
replaced by genuine Miele original  
spare parts. Only when these parts are  
fitted can the safety standards of the  
machine be guaranteed.  
Turn off the stopcock if the ma-  
chine is to be left for any length of  
time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is  
no floor drain (gully) in the immediate  
vicinity.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infestation  
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
Flooding danger  
If hooking the drain hose into a  
particular attention to keeping the appli- wash basin, check that the water can

condition at all times. Any damage  
which may be caused by cockroaches  
or other vermin will not be covered by  
the appliance guarantee.  
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. Other-  
wise this will result in flooding.  
Use  
Take care to ensure that foreign ob-  
jects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper  
clips) do not find their way into the ma-  
chine with the washing. Foreign objects  
may damage components of the ma-  
chine (e.g. suds container, drum),  
which in turn can result in damage to  
the washing.  
This equipment is not designed for  
maritime use or for use in mobile  
installations such as caravans, aircraft  
etc. However, it may be suitable for  
such usage subject to a risk assess-  
ment of the installation being carried  
out by a suitably qualified engineer.  
Do not install your washing ma-  
chine 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 point.

Warning and safety instructions  
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 manufacturer’s instructions given on  
the packaging. If in doubt, contact the  
Miele Customer Service Dept. or your  
Miele Dealer.  
Accessories  
Accessory parts may only be fitted  
when expressly approved by Miele.  
If other parts are used, guarantee, per-  
formance and product liability claims  
may be invalidated.  
Disposal of your old machine  
Before discarding an old machine  
unplug it. Render the plug useless.  
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap-  
pliance to prevent misuse. This should  
be done by a competent person.  
Textiles which have been  
pre-treated in solvent-based clean-  
ing agents must be thoroughly rinsed in  
clean water before being washed in the  
machine.  
Never use solvent-based cleaning  
agents in this machine, as this may  
result in damage to component parts  
and create toxic fumes. Such deter-  
gents also pose a fire and explosion  
hazard.  
Only use dyes specified by the  
manufacturer as being suitable for  
use in a domestic washing machine. Al-  
ways observe the manufacturer's in-  
structions carefully.  
Colour run and dye removers con-  
tain sulphur compounds which can  
cause damage such as corrosion. Do  
not use these products in this machine.  
Always make sure the drum is sta-  
tionary before reaching in to re-  
move laundry. Reaching into a moving  
drum is extremely dangerous.

Washing environmentally and economically  
– Water consumption and energy us-  
– Use the Short wash option for nor-  
mally or very lightly soiled laundry.  
age are determined by the size of the  
load. Load to the maximum recom-  
mended for the programme selected.  
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-  
gent which may be recommended by  
the manufacturer on the packaging.  
– Programme durations can vary con-  
siderably due to the automatic load  
adjustment feature. Depending on  
the amount of laundry, the main wash  
may be shortened and one rinse  
omitted.  
– Reduce the amounts of detergent  
with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half  
load, approx. one third less deter-  
gent).  
– Select the highest suitable spin  
speed in the wash programme when  
tumble drying afterwards.  
– Use the Mixed Wash programme or  
the Quick Wash programme for  
smaller amounts of laundry.  
To save energy wash normally and  
lightly soiled laundry at lower tem-  
peratures. The 95°C Cottons  
programme is probably only needed  
in exceptional circumstances, e.g.  
for oil based stains or where a very  
hot wash is required.  
– A main wash (programme without  
pre-wash) is sufficient to clean nor-  
mally soiled laundry.  
– By using the additional option Soak  
for heavily soiled laundry you can se-  
lect a lower temperature in the main  
wash.  
– Use the additional option Soak in-  
stead of Pre-wash with heavily soiled  
laundry.  
If Soak is followed immediately by a  
main wash the same suds are used.

Before using for the first time  
Before using the machine for the first  
time ensure that it is correctly in-  
stalled and connected. See the rele-  
vant section under "Installation".  
Also check that the fluff filter is se-  
curely tightened. Otherwise there is  
a risk of water leakage during use.  
For safety reasons spinning is not pos-  
sible until the machine has been pre-  
pared for using for the first time. To acti-  
vate the spinning function you must run  
a wash programme without any laundry  
and without detergent.  
Using detergent could result in an ex-  
cessive 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.  
^ Turn on the stopcock.  
^ Press the I-ON/0-OFF button in.  
^ Turn the programme selector to  
COTTONS 40°C.  
^ Press the START button.  
When this programme has finished turn  
the programme selector to "Finish". Your  
washing machine is ready for using for  
the first time.

How to wash correctly  
Brief guide  
^ Sort the washing by colour and by  
care label symbols. Most garments  
have a textile care label in the collar  
or side seam.  
The headings numbered (A,B,C,...)  
show the operating sequence and can  
be used as a brief guide.  
Dark textiles often contain excess dye  
and should be washed separately sev-  
eral times before being included in a  
mixed load. Always wash whites and  
coloureds separately.  
Before washing  
ASort the laundry.  
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-  
arately in a delicates programme (use a  
washing bag where appropriate).  
– Curtains:  
Remove lead weights and strips or  
place in a laundry bag.  
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:  
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar  
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or  
sewn in.  
– Knitted garments, trousers and  
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts:  
Turn inside out, if recommended by  
the manufacturer.  
^ Empty all pockets.  
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,  
paper clips, etc.) can cause dam-  
age to textiles and components in  
the machine.  
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and  
eyes etc. before washing.  
– Fasten duvet covers to prevent  
smaller items rolling up inside them.  
^ Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and  
cuffs, and water soluble stains can  
be pre-treated with bar soap, liquid  
detergent or detergent mixed into a  
solution or paste.  
Do not wash any items in this ma-  
chine which are specified by the  
manufacturer as non-machine  
washable on the care label. (h  
symbol)  
With particularly stubborn stains ask  
your dry cleaner for advice.  
Do not use solvent-based cleaning  
agents in this machine.

^ Support both flaps and let them  
swing up.  
^ Open the inner lid.  
Load the drum:  
^ Unfold laundry and load loosely in  
the drum. To achieve optimum results  
it is advisable to make up mixed  
loads consisting of both large and  
small items. This improves washing  
efficiency and helps distribute the  
load evenly to keep the machine sta-  
ble and reduce noise during spin-  
ning. Overloading impairs wash per-  
formance and causes more creasing.  
DOpen the drum:  
Take care. The drum flaps are  
spring-loaded.  
^ Gently press your hand against the  
rear drum flap.

Adding detergent  
All modern detergents produced for  
automatic washing machines are suit-  
able, including liquid, compact (con-  
centrated), tablets, liquid tablets and  
special application detergents. Use dis-  
pensing 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 by  
proportion to suit smaller loads.

cal detergents on silk as the enzymes  
may damage the silk!  
– Greasy particles cling to the laundry.  
– Limescale deposits on the heater el-  
ements.  
Add detergent according to the amount  
recommended on the packaging. The  
right amount to dispense will depend  
on the following:  
. . . too much results in the following:  
– Excessive foam.  
– Low level of agitation.  
– The quantity of laundry.  
– Poor washing, rinsing and spinning  
results.  
– The soiling level of the laundry.

Water softeners  
A water softener can be used to cut  
down on the use of detergents in ex-  
tremely hard water areas. Dispense ac-  
cording to the amount specified on the  
packaging. First add detergent and  
then the water softener.  
Dispense detergent as specified for  
soft water areas.  
Miele do not recommend connecting  
the machine to a household water soft-  
ener.  
If you wash using several components  
(e.g. special application detergents),  
we recommend always dispensing the  
agents into compartment j in the fol-  
lowing order:  
i = Compartment for pre-wash.  
This compartment is also used  
for starch formulations when  
starching separately.  
1. Detergent  
j = Compartment main wash  
2. Water softener  
3. Stain remover  
p = Compartment fabric conditioner  
Water is taken in through compartment  
This way the agents are distributed  
more efficiently.  
i in the pre-wash.  
Water is taken in through compartment  
j in the main wash. If the capacity of  
compartment j is insufficient for the  
amount of detergent needed for a  
COTTONS programme (e.g. in very  
hard water areas), the machine can be  
programmed so that water and deter-  
gent can also be taken into the main  
wash through compartment i , see  
"Programmable functions", "Activating  
compartment i".  
Fabric conditioners,  
texturisers, liquid starch  
Fabric conditioners make garments soft  
and fluffy to handle and help prevent  
static cling when tumble drying.  
Texturisers are synthetic starch formula-  
tions and give body to items e.g. shirts,  
tablecloths and bed linen.  
Starch gives body to items of washing.  
^ Dispense according to the amount  
specified on the packaging.

Silk:  
In this programme to achieve the best washing results, the washing action is lower than in the  
DELICATES programme but higher than in the WOOLLENS programme.  
Wool:  
Wool is susceptible to damage from movement when it is wet. The wash action during the course of  
the programme is low.

Top-up rinse (programmable):  
At the end of the main wash additional water flows into the drum, and the suds are cooled slightly. Hot  
water might damage plastic drain pipes.  
Graduated rinsing:  
The suds are cooled at the end of the wash cycle by water flowing in and being pumped away at inter-  
vals thereby minimising crease formation.  
Rinse and interim spin:  
There is a spin between the rinses.  
Final spin:  
The maximum spin speed according to the programme can be selected with the Spin button. In the  
programmes MINIMUM IRON, DELICATES, WOOLLENS, Separate rinse and MIXED WASH, the spin  
speed is automatically limited to the maximum spin speed given above.

The water level increases in the  
"COTTONS", "MINIMUM IRON",  
" QUICK WASH" and "MIXED WASH"  
programmes.  
A final spin is carried out at the end  
of each of the basic programmes, if a  
spin speed has been selected.  
"Without final spin"  
You can choose between four options  
for the "Water plus" button.  
Interim rinse and spin is carried out  
during the programme cycle.

sponding button is lit up. The option  
can be switched off by pressing the  
button again. The indicator light goes  
out.  
Interim rinse and spin is carried out  
during the programme cycle.  
The laundry remains suspended in wa-  
ter after the final rinse.  
This helps to reduce the possibility of  
creasing if the washing is left for some  
time before being taken out of the ma-  
chine.  
To continue the programme with a  
spin:  
Use the "Spin" button to select the re-  
quired spin speed.  
The maximum spin speed is automati-  
cally limited according to the basic  
wash programme chosen. (See

To continue the programme without  
spinning:  
Press the "Lid" button. The water will  
then drain out of the machine. Once it  
has drained out press the "Lid" button  
again and open the drum.

Cleaning and care  
E-Cloth  
Disconnect the appliance from the  
mains electricity supply and with-  
draw the plug from the socket prior  
to cleaning the machine.  
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from  
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,  
Part number 98013530, which is suit-  
able for cleaning surfaces such as  
stainless steel, glass, plastic and  
chrome without the use of chemicals. It  
can be washed 300 times.  
Do not use solvents, abrasive  
cleaners, glass cleaners or all-pur-  
pose cleaning agents.  
These might damage plastic sur-  
faces and other components be-  
cause of the chemicals they contain.  
The washing machine must not be  
hosed down.  
Cleaning the washing machine  
^ Clean the casing, machine lid and in-  
ner lid with a mild non-abrasive de-  
tergent or soap and water. Wipe dry  
with a soft cloth.  
^ Clean the fascia panel with a damp  
cloth and wipe dry with a soft cloth.  
^ The drum can be cleaned using a  
suitable proprietary stainless-steel  
cleaning agent.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the detergent  
dispenser drawer  
^ Remove the detergent dispenser  
drawer.  
^ Wash under running warm water.  
^ Pull out the conditioner insert and the  
siphon tube and wash under running  
warm water.  
^ Replace the conditioner insert and si-  
phon tube and push the detergent  
dispenser drawer back into position.  
^ Also clean the channel over which  
the siphon tube is inserted.  
Extra cleaning  
Carrying out a hot wash (70°C or  
above) with powder detergent approx.  
once every six weeks will help to en-  
sure that no deposits build up in the  
machine. These can occur when wash-  
ing is mainly done at low temperatures,  
and also lead to unpleasant smells. If  
you have no reason to wash laundry oc-  
casionally at this high temperature, then  
carry out a 95°C Cottons programme as  
a cleaning cycle with a biological pow-  
der detergent and no laundry, at regu-  
lar intervals.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter  
and pump  
^ Place a dish under the drain spout.  
Check the drain filter initially after 3-4  
washes to ascertain how often it is likely  
to require cleaning.  
With normal cleaning approx. 2 litres of  
water run out.  
If the drain outlet is clogged, more wa-  
ter will be retained in the machine (up  
to 25 litres).  
Caution: If laundry has been washed  
at a high temperature, water drain-  
ing out of the machine will still be  
hot. Danger of scalding.  
^ Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times.  
Do not take it right out.  
With large volumes of water the dish will  
need to be emptied several times. Se-  
cure the fluff filter back into position  
and empty the dish before repeating  
the procedure.  
^ Use the (yellow) filter flap opener  
supplied with the machine to open  
the access flap.  
43  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Cleaning and care  
^ Clean the inside of the fluff filter hous-  
ing.  
^ Once the flow of water ceases, re-  
move the fluff filter completely.  
Remove any deposits of limescale and  
detergent or foreign objects from the  
thread of the filter housing and filter unit  
as they can cause water to leak.  
Limescale deposits are often a sign of  
using too little detergent.  
^ Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.  
^ Remove any foreign objects (e.g.  
buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff.  
^ Turn the impeller by hand to make  
sure it rotates freely. Any foreign ob-  
jects causing an obstruction should  
be removed.  
^ Put the fluff filter back in place and  
secure it.  
Make sure the fluff filter is securely  
tightened. Otherwise there is a risk  
of water leakage during use.  
After cleaning  
^ Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the  
detergent dispenser compartment  
j to reactivate the ball valve which  
keeps detergent in circulation in the  
suds.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the filter in the water  
inlet  
^ First turn off the stopcock.  
^ Unscrew the threaded union connect-  
ing the free end of the inlet hose to  
the stopcock.  
The washing machine has a filter to  
protect the water inlet valve.  
The accessible filter in the union in the  
open end of the inlet hose should be  
checked every six months, or more of-  
ten if there are frequent interruptions to  
the external water supply.  
^ Remove rubber seal a from the re-  
cess.  
^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the  
plastic filter bar, remove the filter b  
and clean.  
^ Put the filter and seal back in the re-  
verse order and reconnect the hose.  
Turn on the stopcock and check the  
connection is watertight. If water drips  
out, tighten the connection.  
Never forget to put the filter back in  
place after cleaning it.

Installation  
Installation surface  
^ Remove the transit fitting (next page).  
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.  
The appliance must be level to ensure  
safe and proper operation.  
^ Unscrew the feet until the machine  
stands level.  
^ Hold the foot tight using a pipe  
wrench.  
Please note the following points:  
^ The machine must be level and se-  
curely positioned.  
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
^ If installing on a wooden joist floor, we  
recommend a plywood base (at least  
60x45x3 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 first.  
^ If possible, install the machine in a  
corner, as this is usually the most sta-  
ble part of the floor.  
^ Tighten the counternut using a  
screwdriver as indicated.  
Levelling and adjusting  
Lift the appliance from its packaging  
base and move it to its installation site.  
Please note:  
^ Ensure that the machine feet and the  
floor are dry to prevent the machine  
from slipping during the spin cycle.

Installation  
Removing the transit fitting  
^ Plug the 4 large holes with the caps  
supplied.  
^ Unscrew the 4 outer screws marked  
A completely.  
The transit fitting together with  
screws should be stored in a safe  
place for future use. It must be re-fit-  
ted if the machine is to be moved  
again.  
^ Unscrew the 4 screws marked B.  
These screws must then be left on  
the transit bars.  
Re-fitting the transit fitting  
To refit the transit fitting reverse the pro-  
cedure described above.  
^ Remove the transit bars.

Installation  
Connection to water supply  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a water flow pressure of 1 bar mini-  
mum up to 10 bar maximum. The static  
water pressure must not exceed 10 bar.  
If it is higher than 10 bar it is essential  
to fit a reducer valve.  
The machine should be connected to a  
mains water supply in accordance with  
standard regulations. In Germany the  
washing machine is not required to  
have a non-return valve as it has been  
designed to comply with the relevant  
German DIN standard.  
There is a minimum flow pressure of  
1 bar pressure if, with the stopcock  
opened fully, 5 litres of water flow into a  
suitable container in 15 seconds.  
Connection to a household water soft-  
ener is not recommended.  
The dirt filter in the open end of the inlet  
hose must not be removed as it pro-  
tects the water inlet 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 approx. 2.5 m long 3/8" pressure  
hose should be connected to the stop-  
cock via the 3/4" threaded union.  
Please make sure the washer sits cor-  
rectly in the union.  
A longer hose of 4 metres in length is  
available as an optional extra.  
This pressure hose is not suitable for  
connection to a hot water supply. The  
connection point is subject to mains  
water pressure. Turn on the stopcock  
slowly and check for leaks.  
If replacing the inlet hose only use a  
hose able to withstand pressure of at  
least 70 bar. This also applies to all  
fixtures and fittings used. Miele origi-  
nal parts are tested to this standard.

Installation  
Connection to the drainage  
system  
Drain hose connection:  
^ Direct into a sink: Hook the hose over  
the edge and secure. Make sure that  
the water can flow freely to avoid  
flooding and to prevent water from  
being sucked back into the machine.  
The machine drains via a drain pump  
with a delivery head of 1 metre.  
The drain hose is 1.5 m long. It 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.  
^ Connected securely to a floor gully.  
^ Connected securely to a standpipe.  
^ Connected securely to a plastic drain  
pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no  
need to use a non-return valve.  
If required, the drain hose can be ex-  
tended to a length of 5 m. The neces-  
sary parts can be purchased from the  
Miele Spare Parts Department or your  
Miele dealer.

plug and suitable switched socket  
which is easily accessible after installa-  
tion. For extra safety it is advisable to  
install a residual current device (RCD),  
with a trip current of 30 mA (in accor-  
dance with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100,  
Section 739). Do not connect via an ex-  
tension lead.  
The wire which is coloured brown must  
be connected to the terminal in the  
plug which is marked with the letter L or

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363  
If this machine is fitted with a  
non-rewireable plug, the following infor-  
mation applies:  
If the socket outlets are not suitable for  
the plug supplied with the product, it  
must be cut off and an appropriate plug  
fitted. The fuse carrier and fuse should  
be removed from the old plug and dis-  
posed of.  
The plug cut from the flexible cord  
should then be disposed of and on no  
account be inserted into any socket  
elsewhere in the house (electric shock  
hazard).  
The fuse cover must be refitted when  
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover  
is lost, the plug must not be used until a  
suitable replacement is obtained. The  
colour of the correct replacement cover  
is that of the coloured insert in the base  
of the plug, or the colour that is em-  
bossed in words on the base of the  
plug (as applicable to the design of  
plug fitted).  
Replacement fuses should be ASTA ap-  
proved to BS 1362 and have the cor-  
rect rating. Replacement fuse covers  
may be purchased from your local elec-  
trical supplier or Service agent.
