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
appliance (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
engineer.
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:

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.

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. These may
damage components of the machine
(e.g. suds container, drum), which in
turn can result in damage to the wash-
ing.
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.

you do wish to descale the machine
only use proprietary non-corrosive
descaling agents and strictly observe
the instructions on the packaging. If in
doubt, contact the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.
Always make sure the drum is sta-
tionary before reaching in to re-

treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in
clean water before being washed in the
machine.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee, per-
formance and product liability claims
will be invalidated.
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.
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.
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.

the door from being opened or the
programme cancelled during a wash
programme. The electronic programme
locking is automatically cancelled at the
end of the programme.
When, for example, new programmes
are developed or new fabrics are intro-
duced, a service engineer will be able
to modify existing programme cycles
accordingly.
Miele will provide information when
such possibilities become available.

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 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 "Spin" button repeatedly to
select Without spin.
^ Press START.
When this programme has finished turn
the programme selector to Finish. Your
washing machine is ready for using for
the first time.

– Water consumption and energy us-
age are determined by the size of the
load. Load to the maximum recom-
mended for the programme selected.
– Use the Short wash option for nor-
mally or very lightly soiled laundry.
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent which may be recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
– To save energy wash normally and

in exceptional circumstances, e.g.
for oil based stains or where a very
hot wash is required.
– Select the highest suitable spin
speed in the wash programme when
tumble drying afterwards.
– Use the Mixed wash or the Quick
wash programme for smaller
amounts of laundry.
– Load recognition and automatic rins-
ing can cause the duration of a
programme to vary greatly. The main
wash may be shortened and a rinse
cycle omitted depending on the
amount of laundry.
– A main wash (programme without
pre-wash) is sufficient for cleaning
normally 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.

How to wash correctly
Before washing
,Do not use solvent-based clean-
ing agents in this machine.
ASort the laundry
^ Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label symbol. Most garments
have a textile care label in the collar
or side seam.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately sev-
eral times before being washed to-
gether with other garments. Always
wash whites and coloureds separately.
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-
arately in a delicates programme (use a
washing bag where appropriate).
– Curtains:
^ Empty all pockets.
Remove lead weights and strips or
place in a laundry bag.
,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to garments and compo-
nents in the machine.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
^ 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.
– Knitted garments, trousers and
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts:
Turn inside out, if recommended by
the manufacturer.
With particularly stubborn stains ask
your dry cleaner for advice.
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.
– Fasten duvet covers to prevent
smaller items rolling up inside them.
,Do not wash any items in this
machine which are specified by the
manufacturer as non-machine
washable on the care label. (h

Selecting a programme
BSwitch on the washing machine
^ Press in the I-ON/0-OFF button.
^ Open the stopcock.
FSelect a programme
COpen the drum door
^ Press the Door button and open the
drum door.
DLoad the drum
^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely
in the drum. To achieve best results it
is advisable to make up mixed loads
consisting of both large and small
items. This improves the washing ef-
fect and helps distribute the load
evenly to keep the machine stable
and reduce the noise level during
spinning.
^ Turn the programme selector to the
required programme.
GSelect a spin speed
To save energy and water try to load
the maximum amount for the
programme selected.
However, be careful not to overload the
machine. Overloading reduces the
wash result and causes more creasing.
EClose the drum door with a gentle
swing.
Make sure that no garments are caught
between the drum door and seal.
^ Press the "Spin" button repeatedly un-
til the indicator light for the spin
speed you want comes on.
In some programmes the maximum
spin speed is limited. The machine will
not allow a higher spin speed to be se-
lected.

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!
Woollens and knitwear containing wool
mixtures and hand-washable garments
should be washed using a detergent
specifically designed for washing
woollens.
– The soiling level of the laundry.
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavily soiled
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
– The water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the water hard-
ness level in your area.
Silk should be washed using a liquid
detergent specifically designed for
washing woollens. Do not use biologi-
cal detergents on silk as the enzymes
may damage the silk!
Instructions for use and recommended
amounts for a full load are given on the
detergent packaging.
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.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
Miele do not recommend connecting
the machine to a household water soft-
ener.

Fabric conditioners and liquid
starch
If starching frequently, the dispenser
compartment and especially the si-
phon tube and conditioner channel
will need regular cleaning to remove
any residual starch. See "Cleaning
the detergent dispenser drawer".
Do not add starch formulations or
viscous liquid starch to the § com-
partment as it will clog it up. See
"Adding starch separately".
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
and fluffy to handle and help prevent
static cling when tumble drying.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items
of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and
bed linen.

specified on the packaging.

Colour run and dye removers/
dyes
^ Add the fabric conditioner or liquid
starch to compartment §. Do not ex-
ceed the maximum level mark.
^ Do not use colour run or dye remov-
ers in this washing machine.
The conditioner or liquid starch is auto-
matically dispensed in the last rinse. At
the end of the programme a small
amount of water remains in the fabric
conditioner compartment §.
^ Dyes suitable for use in domestic
washing machines can be used.
However, please note that the salt
used in the dyeing process can
cause corrosion to stainless steel
components in the machine if you
dye frequently. Always observe the
manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)
with powder detergent approx. every 6
weeks to help prevent deposits building
up in the machine. These can occur
when washing is mainly done at low
temperatures, and also lead to unpleas-
ant smells. If you have no reason to

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter
and pump
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
draining out of the machine will still
be hot.
^ Use it to open the access flap.
^ Place a dish under the access flap.
There is a filter flap opener located be-
hind the detergent drawer facia panel
(see illustration).
^ 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.
^ Remove the opener.

Cleaning and care
Once the flow of water ceases:
^ Clean the inside of the fluff filter hous-
ing. Remove any deposits of
limescale and detergent or foreign
objects from the thread of the filter
housing and filter unit (as these ob-
jects can cause a leakage of water).
Deposits of limescale are often a sign
of underdosage of powder.
^ Put the fluff filter back in place and
secure.
,Make sure the fluff filter is se-
curely tightened. Otherwise there is
a risk of water leakage during use.
^ Remove the fluff filter completely.
After cleaning
^ Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.
^ Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the
detergent dispenser compartment
j to reactivate the ball valve.
^ Remove any foreign objects (e.g.
buttons, coins, etc) and fluff. Turn the
impeller by hand to check that it is
free to rotate. Any foreign object
causing an obstruction should be re-
moved.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the water inlet filters
The inlet hose should be inspected
regularly because it is subjected to
high pressure while the machine is
in operation. It should be replaced if
there are small cracks in the surface,
or if it has been otherwise damaged.
The washing machine has two filters to
protect the inlet valves.
These filters should be checked every
six months or so, or more often if there
are frequent interruptions to the water
supply.
If replacing the inlet hose only use a
hose able to withstand pressure of at
least 70 bar. Miele’s own hoses meet
this requirement.
To clean the filter in the union in the
open end of the inlet hose:
^ First turn off the stopcock.
^ Unscrew the threaded union connect-
ing the free end of the inlet hose to
the stopcock.
To clean the filter in the water inlet
valve
^ Using pliers, carefully loosen the
ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve
and unscrew.
^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the
recess.
^ Use water pump pliers to withdraw
the plastic filter by the bar (see illus-
tration). Clean, put back and secure.

Installation and connection
Installation surface
Installing the washing machine
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.
To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installation site hold
it by the edge of the lid where it pro-
trudes to the rear of the washing ma-
chine as well as by the handle recesses
at the front.
Please note the following points:
Please note:
^ The machine must be level and se-
curely positioned.
^ Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
,Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the ma-
chine from slipping during the spin
cycle.
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.
Removing the transit fittings
If possible, install the machine in a cor-
ner, 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).
^ To remove the left and right covers
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the
cover as illustrated.
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

Installation and connection
,The washing machine must not
be moved without the transit bars in
place.
Store the transit bars as shown or
keep them in a safe place for future
use. They must be re-fitted if the ma-
chine is to be moved again
(e.g.when moving house).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.
Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.
^ Secure the transit bars to the back of
the washing machine. Make sure that
holes b are fitted over retainers a.

Installation and connection
Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level
on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
^ Using the spanner supplied turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direc-
tion. Then turn counter nut 2 together
with foot 1 to unscrew.
^ Use a spirit level to check the ma-
chine is standing level.
Incorrect installation may increase elec-
tricity and water consumption and may
cause the machine to move about.
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again us-
ing the spanner supplied until it sits
firmly up against the housing.
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 deliv-
ered.
,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.

Installation and connection
Connection to water supply
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4 metres in length
are available as optional extras.
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.
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.
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. 1.5 m long 3/8" pressure
hose should be connected to the stop-
cock via the 3/4" threaded union.
There is a minimum flow pressure of 1
bar pressure if 5 litres of water flow into
a suitable container in 15 seconds.
The two dirt filters - one in the open end
of the inlet hose, one at the inlet point in
the solenoid valve must not be re-
moved.
This pressure hose is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
Please make sure the washer sits cor-
rectly in the union.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure. Turn on the stop-
cock slowly and check for leaks.
If replacing the inlet hose only use
genuine Miele hoses. These are
tested to withstand pressure of at
least 70 bar. This also applies to all
fixtures and fittings used.

Installation and connection
Connection to the drainage
system
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note the following
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre*.
– Hook the hose over the edge and se-
cure.
The drain hose 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.
– Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance. Other-
wise there is a risk of water overflow-
ing or of some of the drained water
being sucked back into the machine.
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.
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no
need to use a non-return valve.
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m
(up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a second
duo-drain pump is available with the
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
