been used for such a period, be-
fore using the washing machine,
turn on all hot water faucets and
let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas.
As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame dur-
ing this time.
2. Do not wash articles that have
been previously cleaned in,

Economical usage
Economical usage
The key to good wash results is finding
Economy
the correct combination of detergent
and temperature, and then allowing the
washing machine to optimize their
usage through its programming. Pro-
gram lengths can vary for this reason.
For optimum economical usage, re-
member the following tips:
– The automatic load control feature
will adjust the water level for loads
up to 11 lbs (5 kg). Washing with the
maximum load specified for each
program uses water and energy to
the best advantage.
With the “Hydromatic” system, the
drum can revolve at various speeds.
Faster and slower agitation speeds,
along with pauses for soaking, com-
bine to ensure excellent results.
– Use only the correct amount of deter-
gent required for the water hardness
in your area. Miele recommends the
use of powder detergents, as their
characteristics allow them to perform
better in this machine than liquid
detergents.
The automatic load control feature en-
sures the correct water level for the
type of fabric and load being washed
(even though it may appear as if there
is too little water in the drum!).
Because of the accurately balanced
drum and special sound insulation, ma-
chine noise is minimal while operating.
If the wash is not heavily stained, select
a lower temperature than indicated on
the wash care label.
The fully electronic controls offer a com-
bination of simple operation with many
optional features. For instance, since a
main wash generally gives good results
for a normal load, the pre-wash cycle
has been made a user selectable op-
tion, saving time,water and energy over
older full cycle machines.

show the operating sequence and can
be used as a brief guide.
Before washing
Delicate fabrics should be washed sep-
arately using a delicates program.
1 Prepare the wash load
Only wash wool or wool mixtures if they
are labeled machine washable on the
textile care label.
Pre-treat the laundry
Badly soiled areas (e.g. collars and
cuffs) and water soluble stains can be
pre-treated with bar soap, stain
remover, or detergent mixed into a solu-
tion or paste.
Do not use detergents containing sol-
vents in the machine.
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects left in pockets (e.g.
nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can
cause damage to clothes and the
machine.
Sort the laundry
Most garments have a Fabric care
label in the collar or side seam. Sort the
laundry by care label and color.
Only wash items that are labeled ma-
chine washable by the manufacturer.

to the Miele “Eco-System”, /3 to /2 the
manufacturer’s recommended amount
of detergent is generally sufficient for
excellent wash results.
...too little detergent can result in:
– gray laundry
– grease/stains not being removed
– lime deposits on the heater elements
and drum (in hard water areas).
Do not use chlorine bleach!
Water is taken in through compartment
j during the main wash. If your water
is extremely hard (above 400 ppm cal-
cium carbonate) and the capacity of
compartment j is insufficient for the
amount of detergent needed, a Service
Technician can reprogram the machine
so that water and detergent can also
be taken in through compartment i.
...too much detergent can result in:
– excessive foam
– low level of agitation
– poor cleaning and rinsing results.
Water Softeners
If you wish to use a water softener to
cut down on detergent usage in hard
water areas:
For small loads:
– Gradually reduce the amount of
detergent used with each small load.
– add the amount of detergent necess-
ary for a soft water area.
– Check the wash results and the con-
dition of the laundry.
– Add the specified amount of water
softener per the manufacturers re-
commendation.
Always add the detergent first, in com-
partments i and j followed by the
softener, to ensure that both are
properly dispensed.
– If the laundry is not clean or if it is
gray or hard to the touch, add
slightly more detergent the next time
you use the machine.

fabric softener:
Starch
Open the lid of compartment p.
Starching can be done as a separate
cycle (see below) or can be included in
any wash program during the final rinse.
Never mix fabric softener and starch
together in compartment p. This can
cause the overflow system to malfunc-
tion.
If starch is used for shirts, blouses,
table cloths, napkins, etc., pour the
liquid starch into compartment p (use
the same procedure as for fabric sof-
tener).
Using the “Starch” program to dis-
pense liquid starch.
– Prepare the starch solution in accor-
dance with the manufacturer’s in-
structions and pour it into compart-
ment p.
Pour an amount of liquid fabric sof-
tener into compartment p according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not exceed the maximum fill level
marked inside the compartment, as
any excess will prematurely activate
the siphon and be wasted.
– Use the normal water level (Water
Plus button “out”) when starching so
that the solution will have the maxi-
mum effect.
Close the compartment lid and push
in the dispenser drawer.
“Without final spin” can be selected to
reduce fabric creasing.
The softener will automatically be dis-
pensed during the last rinse cycle.
At the end of the program a small
amount of water will normally remain in
compartment p. A high water level in
this compartment, however, may indi-
cate that the siphon is clogged or the

Graduated spin:
The speed is gradually increased, until the final spin speed is reached.
Final spin:
The maximum spin speed is held constant for a fixed period of time.
In the program PERMANENT PRESS, WOOLENS and Fine rinse the spin speed is automatically
limited to 900 rpm and in the FINE/DELICATES program to 600 rpm, even if the selector has been
set to a higher speed. A lower speed can also be selected.
Woolens:
Wool is susceptible to damage when it is wet. Agitation times during the program are shorter,
and the drum rotates slower.
“Without final spin”:
At the end of the final rinse the wash remains suspended in water if the SPIN SPEED SETTING is
set to “Without final spin”. This helps reduce creasing if the laundry will not be removed immedi-
ately at the end of the cycle.

Place a 2 quart capacity container
underneath the drain tube.
Occasionally small objects, (buttons,
coins, etc.), may find their way into the
lint trap. It is a good idea to occasion-
ally check the lint trap to ensure that it
is free of foreign objects.
Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise
2 - 3 times. Do not remove it. Ap-
prox. 2 quarts of water will drain out
of the hose.
If the main drain hose is clogged, more
water will be retained in the machine
(max. 6.5 gal/25l). In this case, tighten
the lint trap lid and empty the dish be-
fore repeating the procedure as often
as necessary.
To clean the lint trap, remove the tool
from behind the detergent dispenser
drawer.
Open the machine door.
Caution: If laundry has been
washed at a high temperature, the
water draining out of the machine
will still be hot! Stop and allow it to
cool before proceeding.
Open the lint trap door.

Cleaning the water inlet filters.
Inspect the inlet hose regularly. The
hose should be replaced if there are
small cracks in the surface, or if it has
been otherwise damaged or cut.
The washing machine has two water
inlet filters to protect each inlet valve.
If a replacement is necessary, use only
a genuine Miele inlet hose as other
hoses may burst under pressure.
To clean the filter in the inlet hose:
Turn off the valve.
Carefully unscrew the inlet hose from
the valve by turning the connector
counterclockwise using a wrench if
necessary.
To clean the filter in the inlet valve:
Using a wrench, carefully loosen and
remove the plastic hose connector
on the inlet valve.
Remove the rubber seal from the
connector.
Using needle nose pliers, withdraw
the plastic filter by pulling on the bar
(see illustration). Rinse under water
to clean, and then replace.
Using needle nose pliers, grasp the
plastic filter and pull it out of the
hose connector. Clean the filter
under running water and carefully
remove any large particles.
The two filters - one at the pressure
hose/valve connection and one at
the inlet connection to the solenoid
valve - must not be removed.
Replace the filter and seal and recon-
nect the hose. Slowly turn on the
valve and check for leaks.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation
Installation surface
Installation
Experience has shown that a concrete
floor is the most suitable surface for a
washing machine. Concrete floors are
far less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floors.
Lift the machine from its shipping pallet
and move it to the installation site.
Please note:
Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
Please note the following points:
Ensure that the machine feet and the
floor are dry to prevent slippage dur-
ing the spin cycle.
The machine must be level and se-
curely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
Removing the shipping struts
If installation must be on a wooden
joist floor, we recommend the use of
1
a plywood base at least 1 /4" thick
5
5
and 23 /8" X 23 /8" wide (30mm X
600mm X 600mm). Ideally the base
should be large enough to span sev-
eral joists and should be anchored
to the joists and not just the floor-
boards.
Using adjustable pliers, pull out the
retaining clips on the right and left of
the support plate.
As a general rule, we recommend
the installation of the machine (or
washer/dryer stack) in the corner of
a room where the stability of the floor
is at its greatest.
If the machine is installed on a
raised platform, it should be secured
using retaining clips (available from
the Miele Parts Dept.). If installed on
a masonary or concrete base, the
base should be provided with a rim
1/2" to 3/4" (12-20 mm) high.
Turn the left-side shipping strut 90°
counterclockwise.

Plug the two holes with the plastic
caps supplied.
Movement of the machine without the
shipping struts in place should be kept
to a minimum.
The shipping struts should be
stored in a safe place for future use.
They must be reinstalled before the
machine is moved. Reinstallation
can be performed by reversing the
procedure.
Withdraw the two struts together with
the support plate.

place.
The height of the control panel can be
adjusted in one of two ways:
by tightening or loosening the nuts to
raise or lower the adapter strips as
needed, or
– The electrical outlet and water
faucets should be close to the ma-
chine and easily accessible.
by adding or removing adaper strips.
– The slides provided with the ma-
chine will prevent damage to the
floor while moving the washer into
position.
The attached adapter strips can be
3
compressed up to /8" (10 mm) by tight-
ening the 4 nuts located under the bot-
tom adapter strip. If the control panel
needs to be shortened by more than
/8" (10 mm), one or more adapter
strips can be removed.
– For installation under countertops

be required.
The control panel height can be ex-
tended an additional 1" (25 mm) by ad-
ding additional adapter strips and ex-
tension bolts. These parts are available
from your Miele dealer or the Miele
Parts Department.
– Spacer frames (with installation in-
structions) can be purchased from

Connection to the drain sys-
tem
(hose marked blue) to the cold water
valve and the hot water supply hose
(hose marked red) to the hot water
valve.
The 5 ft. (1.5 m) drain hose may be con-
nected as follows:
1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose
over the edge of the sink and secure
it firmly (e.g. by tying the hose to the
water faucet).
Turn on the valves and check for leaks.
The water pressure must be within
15-145 psi (1-10 bar). If the water
pressure is greater than 145 psi
(10 bar), a pressure reducer must be in-
stalled. If the water pressure is below
15 psi (1 bar), insufficient water may be
available for a complete fill.
2. Connection to a stand pipe: place the
1
drain hose into a 1 /2" (38 mm)
stand pipe and firmly secure it. (An
anti-siphoning device is not required
as there is one built into the ma-
chine.)
The water supply hoses are equipped
with filters; please do not remove these
filters.
3. To a floor drain: if desired, the drain
hose may be extended to 15 ft.
(4.5 m) maximum.
Special note
The machine drains using a pump with
a maximum delivery height of 4 ft.
(1.2 m).
If connecting the machine to a cold
water supply only, use the included Y-
adapter to connect both hoses to the
cold water valve, otherwise the cor-
rect functioning of the machine
could be impaired. The machine
should not be connected to hot
water only.
Make sure there are no kinks in the
drain hose.
The machine is equipped with an air-
gap/anti-siphoning system so that no
minimum drain height is required.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
This installation should be done by an
experienced and qualified person, in
most cases a licensed electrician, in ac-
cordance with local codes and regula-
tions.
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of a malfunction or break-
down, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment grounding con-
ductor and plug. The plug must be
plugged into an poropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordin-
ances.
The washing machine is supplied with
a 5 ft long, 4 wire cord, ending in a
NEMA 14-20 P plug, ready for connec-
tion to a 120 V/240V (208 V) 60 Hz, AC
power supply.
The proper outlet can be purchased
from any electrical supply dealer or
from the Miele Parts Dept. Ask for a
NEMA 14-20 R receptacle.
