Before using for the first time  
Before using the machine for the first  
time ensure that it is correctly  
installed and connected. See the  
relevant section under "Installation".  
Also check that the fluff filter is  
securely tightened. Otherwise there  
is a risk of water leakage during use.  
For safety reasons spinning is not  
possible until the machine has been  
prepared for using for the first time. To  
activate the spinning function you must  
run a wash programme without laundry  
and without detergent.  
Using detergent could result in an  
excessive 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.

evenly to keep the machine stable  
and reduce the noise level during  
spinning.

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  
until 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  
selected.

Detergent  
All modern detergents produced for  
automatic washing machines are  
suitable, including liquid, compact  
(concentrated), tablets, liquid tablets  
and special application detergents.  
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 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  
hardness level in your area.  
Silk should be washed using a liquid  
detergent specifically designed for  
washing woollens. Do not use  
biological 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  
extremely hard water areas. Dispense  
according 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  
softener.

Cleaning and care  
Extra cleaning  
,Disconnect the appliance from  
the mains electricity supply and  
withdraw the plug from the socket  
prior to cleaning the machine.  
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  
unpleasant smells. If you have no  
reason to wash occasionally at this high  
temperature, then run a Cottons 95°C  
programme with detergent but no  
laundry at regular intervals.  
^ Clean the casing with a mild  
non-abrasive detergent 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.  
,Do not use solvents, abrasive  
cleaners, glass cleaners or  
all-purpose cleaning agents. These  
might damage plastic surfaces and  
other components because of the  
chemicals they contain.  
The washing machine must not be  
hosed down.  
E-Cloth  
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from  
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,  
Part number 98013530, which is  
suitable for cleaning surfaces such as  
stainless steel, glass, plastic and  
chrome without the use of chemicals. It  
can be washed 300 times.

Remove detergent residues regularly.  
^ Clean the siphon.  
1. Remove the siphon from  
compartment §. Wash under  
running warm water. Clean the  
siphon tube in the same way.  
^ Pull out the detergent dispenser  
drawer until a resistance is felt. Press  
down the release catch and at the  
same time pull the drawer right out of  
the machine.  
2. Replace the siphon.  
Over time, detergent residue can build  
up in the water jets in the top of the  
detergent drawer housing.  
^ Clean the detergent drawer with  
warm water.  
^ Before replacing the detergent  
drawer, use a bottle brush or similar  
to clean them out.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the filter in the water  
inlet  
^ First turn off the stopcock.  
^ Unscrew the threaded union  
connecting 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  
often if there are frequent interruptions  
to the external water supply.  
^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the  
recess.  
^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the  
plastic filter bar 2 and remove.  
^ Clean the plastic filter.  
^ Put the filter and seal back in the  
reverse 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.

Installation and connection  
Installation surface  
Installing the washing machine  
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 handle  
recesses at the front.  
Please note the following points:  
Please note:  
^ The machine must be level and  
securely 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  
machine 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  
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).  
^ 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.

,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  
machine 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  
direction. Then turn counter nut 2  
together with foot 1 to unscrew.  
^ Use a spirit level to check the  
machine is standing level.  
Incorrect installation may increase  
electricity and water consumption and  
may cause the machine to move about.  
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe  
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again  
using 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  
delivered.  
,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  
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 appliance. 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 proof to between 70  
and 100 bar.  
– 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  
Connection to the water supply  
The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. The Water-  
proof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be  
connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there is  
the risk of water or other liquids reaching it.  
The protective sleeve of the hose  
must not be damaged or kinked.  
Do not get wet.

If you intend to unscrew the Miele  
local and national safety regulations.  
The German authorities do not require it  
to have a non-return valve as the  
washing machine has been designed  
to comply with DIN regulations.  
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.  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a flow pressure of between 1 and  
10 bar. If it is higher than 10 bar it is  
essential to fit a reducer valve.  
In order to protect the water inlet  
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet  
valve connection must not be  
removed.  
Connection to the mains water supply  
should incorporate a mains stopcock  
with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should  
be fitted by a qualified plumber.  
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.  
,The connection point is subject  
to mains water pressure. Turn on the  
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.  
Correct the position of the washer  
and union if appropriate.  
This hose is tested to withstand  
pressures of up to 140 bar and can be  
used as a flexible extension to the wa-  
ter supply.  
The washing machine is not suitable  
for connection to a hot water supply  
and connection to a household wa-  
ter softener is not recommended.  
N.B. Using this hose renders the Water-  
proof system safety valve on the inlet  
hose ineffective.

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  
secure.  
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.  
Otherwise there is a risk of water  
overflowing or of some of the drained  
water being sucked back into the  
machine.  
If required, the drain hose can be  
extended to a length of 5 m. The  
necessary 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.  
* 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.  
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.  
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
