^ Only wash items that are labeled
machine washable by the
manufacturer. Most garments have a
fabric care label in the collar or side
seam.
^ Sort the laundry by care label and
color.
General tips
– Dark fabrics often bleed the first few
times they are washed. They should
be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed
load.
^ Empty all pockets.
,Foreign objects left in pockets
(e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.)
can cause damage to clothes and
the machine.
– Curtains: Remove any lead weights
or strips before washing.
– Loose bra underwires should be
removed or sewn in place before
washing.
Pre-treat stains
^ Tough stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea,
etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars
and cuffs) should be pre-treated with
a stain remover or a paste made from
powder detergent and warm water.
Dab stains with a damp light colored
cloth. Do not rub!
– Woolens, knitted garments, jeans,
pants and sweat shirts should be
turned inside out.
– Close zippers, hooks and eyelets
before washing.
– Comforter covers and pillowcases
should be fastened to prevent small
items from rolling inside of them.
,Do not use chemical solvents in
the machine.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the water inlet filters
The washer has two water inlet filters to
protect each inlet valve. These filters
should be checked and cleaned if
necessary every 6 months. This may
need to be done more frequently with
some water supplies.
^ Turn off the water supply.
^ Unscrew the inlet hose from the valve
by turning the connector counter-
clockwise using a wrench if
necessary.
^ Remove the rubber seal, 1, from the
connector.
^ Using needle nose pliers, grasp the
plastic filter, 2, and pull it out of the
hose connector.
^ Clean the filter under running water
and carefully remove any large
particles.
^ Replace the filter and seal then
reconnect the hose.
^ Slowly turn on the valve and check
for leaks. If water leaks, tighten the
bolt.
Both filters must be put back in
place after cleaning.

Installation

Installation
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.
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!
Note:
– The machine must be leveled and
securely positioned.
,Ensure that the machine’s feet
and the floor are dry to prevent
slippage during the spin cycle.
– To avoid vibration while spinning, the
machine should not be installed on
soft floor coverings.
Removing the shipping struts
If the installation must be performed on
a wooden floor:
^ Install the unit on a
2 ft. x 2 ft. x 1 3/16"
(61 x 61 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.
It is best to install the washer in the
corner of a room, where the stability of
the floor is at its greatest.
^ Remove the left and right rotary
protectors. Unhook, 1, the rotary
protectors with a screw driver and
remove, 2.
,If the machine is installed on a
raised platform, it should be secured
with retaining clips. These clips are
available from your dealer or Miele.
If installed on a masonry or concrete
½
base, the base should have a " to
3/4" (12-20 mm) high rim. This is
required to prevent the washer from
vibrating off the stand during the
spin cycle.

connected 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

2. To a stand pipe: place the drain hose
into a 1 ½" (4 cm) stand pipe and
secure it firmly.
3. To a floor drain: The machine is
equipped with an air gap /
anti-siphoning system so that no

If necessary, the drain hose may be
