Warning and Safety Instructions  
The electrical safety of this ma-  
Read the operating instructions be-  
chine can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between  
the machine and an effective earthing  
system which complies with local and  
national regulations. It is most import-  
ant that this basic safety requirement is  
regularly tested by a qualified electri-  
cian.  
fore using this machine for the first  
time. They contain important infor-  
mation about the safety, use and  
maintenance of the machine. This  
will avoid the risk of accidents 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 manufacturer cannot be held re-  
sponsible for the consequences of an  
inadequate earthing system.  
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  
responsibility. Repairs should only be  
undertaken by a Miele approved engin-  
eer.  
Correct usage  
Only use the washing machine to  
wash items which are declared by  
the manufacturer to be machine-wash-  
able on the wash-care label.  
Any other applications may be dan-  
gerous. The manufacturer is not liable  
for damage resulting from improper  
use or operation.  
The machine is only completely iso-  
lated from the electricity supply  
when:  
– it is switched off at the wall socket  
and the plug is withdrawn, or  
Technical safety

Warning and Safety Instructions  
The Miele "Waterproof system" pro-  
tects from water damage when:  
Turn off the stopcock if the ma-  
chine will be left for any length of  
time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is  
no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vi-  
cinity.  
– The machine is correctly plumbed in.  
If a fault has been identified, the ma-  
chine must be examined by a compe-  
tent person before further use.  
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. Other-  
wise this will result in flooding.  
Faulty components must only be  
exchanged for Miele original spare  
parts. Only when these parts are fitted  
can the safety standards of the ma-  
chine be guaranteed.  
Use  
Take care to ensure that foreign ob-  
jects (e.g. nails, needles, coins,  
paper clips, etc.) do not find their way  
into the machine with the washing (e.g.  
in pockets). Foreign objects can dam-  
age components of the machine, which  
in turn can result in damage to the  
washing.  
Do not install your washing ma-  
chine in rooms where tempera-  
tures below freezing may occur.  
Frozen hoses may burst under press-  
ure. The reliability of the electronic con-  
trol system may be impaired at tem-  
peratures below freezing point.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infesta-  
tion by cockroaches or other vermin,  
pay particular attention to keeping the  
appliance and its surroundings in a  
clean condition at all times. Any dam-  
age which may be caused by cock-  
roaches or other vermin will not be  
covered by the appliance guarantee.  
Before using the machine for the  
first time, check that the transit fit-  
ting at the rear of the machine has  
been removed (see section on "Installa-  
tion"). During spinning, a transit fitting  
which is still in place may result in dam-  
age to both the machine and adjacent  
furniture or appliances.

Washing environmentally and economically  
Caring for the environment means sav-  
Economy tips  
ing water, energy and detergent when  
washing but without compromising on  
results.  
To help you wash most economically,  
remember the following tips:  
– The automatic load control facility  
allows you to wash individual loads  
of between 1 and 5 kg. Ideally wash  
with the maximum load specified for  
each programme. This uses the en-  
ergy to the best advantage.  
The key to a good wash result is finding  
the best combination of amount of  
detergent, temperature, length of pro-  
gramme and the machine’s technology.  
If necessary, some programmes are  
longer to achieve this effect. With the  
"Hydromatic" system, the drum can re-  
volve at different speeds. Longer and  
slower action together with pauses for  
steeping, work towards a good result.  
– Only use the correct amount of deter-  
gent required for the water hardness  
level in your area, according to the  
detergent manufacturer’s recommen-  
dations.  
The automatic load control facility en-  
sures the correct water level for the  
type of fabric and laundry load being  
washed. Sometimes it even appears  
that there is no water in the drum.  
– If washing is not heavily stained, se-  
lect a lower temperature setting than  
indicated on the wash care label but  
do not additionally select "Short".  
– Use the "Short wash" option for wash-  
ing that is only very lightly soiled, but  
do not additionally reduce the tem-  
perature.  
Normally, main wash is sufficient for a  
clean result, so a pre-wash is not auto-  
matically included in the programmes.  
If it is wanted, a simple press on the  
pre-wash selector includes it.  
– Using the additional "Soak" option  
allows you to reduce the tempera-  
ture used in the main wash.

eral times before being included in a  
mixed load.  
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-  
arately in a delicates programme.  
Only wash textiles made from wool or  
wool mixtures if the textile care label  
states that they are suitable for ma-  
chine washing.  
Before washing  
1 Prepare the wash load  
Pre-treating the washing  
Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and  
cuffs, and water soluble stains can be  
pre-treated with bar soap, liquid deter-  
gent or detergent mixed into a solution  
or paste.  
With particularly stubborn stains ask  
your Dry Cleaner for advice.  
Do not use solvent based cleaning  
agents in this machine.  
2 Open the door and load the drum  
Unfold washing and load loosely in the  
drum. To achieve best results it is advis-  
able to make up mixed loads consist-  
ing of both large and small items.  
This improves the washing effect and  
helps distribute the load evenly to keep  
the machine stable and reduce the  
noise level during spinning.  
Empty all pockets.  
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,  
paper clips etc) can cause damage  
to textiles and components in the  
machine.  
Overloading reduces the wash result  
and causes more creasing.  
Sort the washing  
Maximum load weights are noted  
below:  
Most garments have a textile care label  
in the collar or side seam. Sort the  
washing by care label symbols. The  
symbols are explained on page 20.

are declared by the manufacturer as  
being machine washable on the textile  
care label.

Adding detergent  
All modern detergents produced for  
automatic washing machines are suit-  
able, including liquid, compact (con-  
centrated) and special application  
detergents. Use dispensing aids, e.g.  
balls, if these are supplied with the  
detergent. Woollens and knitwear con-  
taining wool mixtures should be  
washed using a detergent specifically  
designed for washing woollens.  
Amounts of detergent are recom-  
mended on the packaging. The right  
amount to dispense will depend on the  
following:  
...too much detergent results in the  
following:  
– Excessive foam.  
– Low level of agitation.  
– Poor washing and rinsing results.  
Water is taken in through compartment  
j in the main wash. If the capacity of  
compartment j is insufficient for the  
amount of detergent needed (e.g. in  
very hard water areas), the Customer  
Service Engineer can adjust the ma-  
chine so that water and detergent can  
also be taken into the main wash  
through compartment i.  
– the quantity of the washing  
– the water hardness level (check with  
your local water supplier)  
– the level of soiling  
Water Hardness  
Water Softeners  
A water softener can be used to cut  
down on the use of detergents in water  
hardness ranges II-IV. Dispense ac-  
cording to the amount specified on the  
packaging. First add detergent and  
then the water softener.

We recommend: if you wash using sev-  
eral components (e.g. special applica-  
tion detergents), dispense the agents  
in the following order into compartment  
j :  
It is important to dispense the  
correct amount, because...  
...too little detergent results in the fol-  
lowing:  
1. Detergent  
– The washing will not be properly  
clean and will in time become grey  
and hard to the touch.  
2. Water softener  
3. Stain salts  
– Greasy particles cling to the washing.  
This way the agents are distributed bet-  
ter.  
– Lime deposits on the heater ele-  
ments.

1) A 4th rinse automatically switches in if there is too much foam in the drum, or if a spin speed  
lower than 800 rpm has been selected.  
2) Increasing the water level:  
The water level can be increased from a low level to a higher level by pressing the “Water plus”  
button.  
Top-up rinse:  
Additional water flows into the drum, and the suds are cooled slightly. Hot water might damage  
plastic drain pipes.  
Graduated rinsing:  
The suds are cooled at the end of the wash cycle by water flowing in and being pumped away at  
intervals. This minimises the danger of creasing, by avoiding sudden temperature changes.  
WOOL:  
Wool is susceptible to damage from movement when it is wet. Drum movement times during the  
programm are shorter, and the drum rotates more slowly.

Final spin:  
The maximum spin speed according to the programme is held constant for a fixed period of time.  
In the programmes MINIMUM IRON, WOOL and SEPARATE RINSE the spin speed is automat-  
ically limited to 900 rpm and in the DELICATES programme to 600 rpm, even if the selector has  
been set to a higher spin speed. A lower speed can be selected.  
Anti-crease, spin and loosen:  
The anti-crease action guards against the tendency for creases to set in when fabrics have been  
left in water for a long time. There is drum movement twice a minute. The anti-crease phase can  
be cancelled by pressing in the “Door” button.  
Rinse hold:  
Interim rinse and spin is carried out in the relevant programmes.  
At the end of the final rinse the washing remains suspended in water, if the spin speed selector is  
set to “Rinse hold”.  
This helps to reduce the possibility of creasing, if the washing is left for some time before being  
taken out of the machine.  
Without final spin:  
Interim rinse and spin is carried out in the relevant programmes.  
Washing is not spun after the final rinse, but the water is drained away, and the machine goes  
straight into the anti-crease stage.

Additional options  
Each of the following buttons can be  
pressed in to give an additional option.  
Programmes with pre-wash:  
1/4 of the detergent should be added  
to compartment i for the soak and  
pre-wash, and 3/4 added to compart-  
ment j for the main wash.  
When the “Door” button is pushed in,  
all the other buttons spring out again,  
and the additional options are can-  
celled.  
“With pre-wash”  
– For heavily soiled and stained items.  
“Water plus”  
– This is recommended for particularly  
delicate fabrics, and  
– if more water is required for dispens-  
ing the detergent.  
The following options are additionally  
available for certain wash progammes:  
– the water level increases in all sec-  
tions of the programmes COTTONS,  
MINIMUM IRON and QUICK WASH  
40°C.  
“Soak”  
– For heavily soiled and stained items  
with dried on stains, or ones which  
can be bleached out, (e.g. blood,  
fats and oils, cocoa).  
“Short wash”  
– The length of the main wash is short-  
ened for lightly soiled items. An addi-  
tional reduction in temperature is not  
recommended as this may lead to  
poorer wash results.  
– Soak duration:  
2 hours.  
– The amount of detergent recom-  
mended by the detergent manufac-  
turers should be distributed accord-  
ing to to the wash programme which  
is to be run after the “Soak” process.  
– In the COTTONS and MINIMUM  
IRON programmes only two rinse  
cycles are carried out at high water  
level.  
Programmes without pre-wash:  
Add the total amount of detergent to  
compartment j or directly into the  
drum on top of the laundry.

Cleaning and care  
Place a dish underneath the drain fix-  
ture.  
Cleaning the fluff filter and  
pump  
Check the fluff filter initially after 3 - 4  
washes to ascertain how often it is  
likely to require cleaning.  
Turn the fluff filter lid round 2 - 3  
times. Do not take it right out.  
Approx. 2 litres of water will drain out  
of the hose.  
The opener for the fluff filter panel is on  
the side of the detergent dispenser  
drawer towards the rear.  
If the drain outlet is clogged, more  
water will be retained in the machine  
(max. 25 l). In this case, screw the fluff  
filter back into position and empty the  
dish before repeating the procedure as  
often as necessary.  
Caution: if laundry has been  
washed at a high temperature,  
water draining out of the machine  
will still be hot!

Installation  
Ensure that the machine feet and the  
floor are dry to prevent the machine  
from slipping during the spin cycle.  
Installation surface  
Experience has shown that a concrete  
floor is the most suitable installation sur-  
face for a washing machine. Concrete  
floors are far less prone to vibration dur-  
ing the spin cycle than wooden floor-  
boards or a surface with "soft" proper-  
ties.  
Removing the transit fitting  
Please note the following points:  
The machine must be level and se-  
curely positioned.  
To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
If installation must be on a wooden  
joist floor, we recomend the use of a  
plywood base at least 30 mm thick  
and 59 x 52 cm wide. Ideally, the  
base should be large enough to  
span several joists and should be  
bolted to the joists and not only to  
the floorboards. Check for the

presence or pipes and cables first.  
The most stable part of a floor is  
usually in the corner.  
If the machine is installed on a raised  
plinth, it must be secured against slip-  
page during spin using retaining clips  
(available from the Miele Spare Parts  
Dept).  
Using a pipe wrench turn the left-  
hand transit bar 90°clockwise.  
Installation  
Lift the machine from its packaging  
base and move it to its site. Please  
note:  
Do not lift the machine by the drum  
door.

caps supplied.  
The machine should not be moved with-  
out the transit fitting in place.  
The transit fitting should be stored  
in a safe place for future use. It  
must be re-fitted if the machine is to  
be moved again. Re-fitting is car-  
ried out by reversing the procedure.

To install this appliance under a con-  
tinuous worktop:  
A special conversion kit* is required.  
The machine lid must be replaced  
by a cover plate.  
To ensure electrical safety the cover

For installation under a work surface  
900/910 mm from the floor, a raising  
kit* is required.  
Incorrect installation may increase  
water and electricity consumption.  
Connections for electricity, water and  
drainage should be installed in such  
a way that they remain accessible  
when the machine is in place.

The water pressure must not exceed 10  
bar.  
Connection to water supply  
Fitting  
If the water pressure is higher than 10  
bar it is essential to fit a reducer valve.  
The machine should be connected to a  
mains water supply in accordance with  
standard regulations. The German auth-  
orities do not require it to have a non-re-  
turn valve as the washing machine has  
been designed to comply with DVGW  
regulations (German Association of  
Gas and Water Engineers, see data  
plate).  
The Miele "Waterproof system" con-  
nected between the stopcock and the  
machine offers the safest protection  
against water leaks.  
For the "Waterproof system" to function  
correctly, it may only be fitted in the po-  
sitions shown (see illustrations above).  
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 machine is designed to operate  
with a minumum water pressure of 1  
bar. There is a minimum flow pressure  
of 1 bar pressure if 5 litres of water flow  
into a suitable container in 15 seconds.

Protection in the event of a leaking  
water inlet hose  
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.  
Leaking water is fed into the sump  
through the protective covering which  
surrounds the inlet hose as a "second  
skin". The float switch switches off the  
water supply.  
The "Waterproof system" is NOT suit-  
able for connection to a hot water  
supply.  
Maintenance  
NB. If you intend to unscrew the "Water-  
proof system" unit from the mains water  
supply it is essential that the machine is  
first disconnected from the electricity  
supply.  
Only use a genuine Miele "Waterproof  
system" able to withstand pressure of  
up to 70 bar, should you ever need a re-  
placement.  
The protective sleeve of the hose must  
not be damaged (see illustration).  
In order to protect the water inlet valves  
the dirt filter in the solenoid safety valve  
connection must not be removed.  
The "Waterproof system" with a hose  
length of approx. 4.5 metres is avail-  
able as an optional extra.  
Function  
At the heart of this leak protection sys-  
tem there is an electric safety valve,  
which works like an automatic stop-  
cock. The Miele "Waterproof system"  
protects from water damage in the fol-  
lowing cases:  
Protection in the event of a leaking  
machine  
Any leaking water is collected in a  
sump in the base of the appliance. A  
float switch switches the safety valve  
off electrically, no more water will flow  
in.
