Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
~
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged washing machine.
Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the
~
connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be
~
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested, and
where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer 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
~
supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
~
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician.
If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a
~
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the
~
event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.
The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage
~
provided the following conditions have been met:
– the machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the
electricity supply.
– if a fault has been identified, the machine must be examined by a
competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.
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.
This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
~
on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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 and connection"). 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
container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

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 instructions on the packaging. A special
descaling agent is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
~
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being
washed 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
explosion hazard.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
~
benzine, to clean the outside surfaces of this machine. They can
cause damage to plastic surfaces.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
~
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the
manufacturer's instructions carefully.
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
~
thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek
medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label
for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should
avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.

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.
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
– Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load
recognition system will reduce the
amount of water, time and energy
used. This may mean that the time
left shown in the display is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.

Detergent
The correct detergent
All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable.
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 programmes with short durations.
Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk!
Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the
detergent packaging.
See "Optional accessories" at the end of this booklet for details of Miele
branded care products including detergents and fabric conditioner.

Installation and connection
Installation surface
Transporting the washing machine to
its installation site
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 front feet.
Please note:
,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 first.
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 spin using
retaining clips (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise
there is the danger of the machine
moving about and falling off the
plinth.
^ To remove the left and right covers
1. Pull on the attached stopper,

,The 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

Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level

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 counternut 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
counternut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then turn counternut 2 together with

The Miele Waterproof system
2) Electronic unit and washing
machine housing
The Miele Waterproof system protects
the washing machine from water
damage.
– 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 from
flowing into the machine and water in
the suds container is pumped away.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit and the washing
machine housing
– Overflow protection
3) the drain hose
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.
1) Inlet hose
– The inlet hose is fitted with an
additional electrical safety valve
which works like an automatic
stopcock and is housed in the inlet
hose connection box.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being
emptied completely.
– It is pressure tested to between
7,000 and 10,000 kPa.
– The inlet hose has a protective
sleeve.
Any leaking water from the inlet hose
is fed into the sump through this
protective sleeve. A float switches off
the safety valve, preventing any
more water from flowing into the
machine and water in the suds
container is pumped away.

Installation and connection
Maintenance and care
If you intend to unscrew the Miele
Waterproof system hose from the
stopcock it is essential to disconnect
the machine from the electricity supply
first.
Only use a Miele Waterproof system
hose should you need a replacement.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet
valve connection must not be
removed.
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 extension to the
water supply.
N.B. Using this hose renders the
Waterproof system safety valve on the
inlet hose ineffective.
