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 liable  
for the consequences of an inadequate  
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).  
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).  
Correct usage  
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 liabilty.  
Repairs should only be undertaken by a  
Miele approved engineer.  
Ensure current is not supplied to the  
appliance while maintenance or repair  
work is being carried out.  
This appliance should not be oper-  
ated by children. Supervise its use  
by the elderly or infirm.  
The machine is only completely  
isolated from the electricity supply  
when:  
Technical safety  
– it is switched off at the wall socket  
and the plug is withdrawn, or  
Before setting up the machine,  
check it for any externally visible  
damage. Do not install and use a dam-  
aged machine.  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.  
Before connecting the machine,  
ensure that the connection data on  
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-  
quency) match the mains electricity

Warning and safety instructions  
This machine must only be con-  
Before using the machine for the  
nected to the on-site water supply  
using a new hose kit. Old hoses must  
not be re-used. Check the hose regu-  
first time, check that the transit fit-  
ting at the rear of the machine has been  
removed (see section on "Installation").  
larly for signs of wear and tear. Change During spinning, a transit fitting which is  
in good time to avoid the risk of leaks  
and subsequent damage.  
still in place may result in damage to  
both the machine and adjacent furni-  
ture or appliances.  
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.  
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.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infestation  
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
Flooding danger.  
If hooking the drain hose into a  
particular attention to keeping the appli- wash basin, check that the water can  
ance and its surroundings in a clean  
condition at all times. Any damage  
which may be caused by cockroaches  
or other vermin will not be covered by  
the appliance guarantee.  
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.  
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.  
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 sys-  
tem may be impaired at temperatures  
below freezing point.

Warning and safety instructions  
If the correct amount of detergent  
is dispensed, the machine should  
not need to be descaled. If, however,  
you do wish to descale the machine  
only use proprietary non-corrosive  
descaling agents and strictly observe  
the manufacturer’s instructions given on  
the packaging. If in doubt, contact the  
Miele Customer Service Dept. or your  
Miele Dealer.  
Accessories  
Accessory parts may only be fitted  
when expressly approved by Miele.  
If other parts are used, guarantee, per-  
formance and product liability claims  
may be invalidated.  
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.  
Textiles which have been  
pre-treated in solvent-based clean-  
ing agents must be thoroughly rinsed in  
clean water before being washed in the  
machine.  
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.  
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.  
Colour run and dye removers con-  
tain sulphur compounds which can  
cause damage such as corrosion. Do  
not use these products in this machine.  
Always make sure the drum is sta-  
tionary before reaching in to re-  
move laundry. Reaching into a moving  
drum is extremely dangerous.

Washing environmentally and economically  
– Water consumption and energy us-  
– Use the Short wash option for nor-  
mally or very lightly soiled laundry.  
age are determined by the size of the  
load. Load to the maximum recom-  
mended for the programme selected.  
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-  
gent which may be recommended by  
the manufacturer on the packaging.  
– Programme durations can vary con-  
siderably due to the automatic load  
adjustment feature. Depending on  
the amount of laundry, the main wash  
may be shortened and one rinse  
omitted.  
– Reduce the amounts of detergent  
with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half  
load, approx. one third less deter-  
gent).  
– Select the highest suitable spin  
speed in the wash programme when  
tumble drying afterwards.  
– Use the Mixed Wash programme or  
the Quick Wash programme for  
smaller amounts of laundry.  
– To save energy wash normally and  
lightly soiled laundry at lower tem-  
peratures. The 95°C Cottons  
programme is probably only needed  
in exceptional circumstances, e.g.  
for oil based stains or where a very  
hot wash is required.  
– A main wash (programme without  
pre-wash) is sufficient to clean nor-  
mally 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.

Before using for the first time  
Water hardness reminder dial  
Several factors including the water  
hardness level in your area will affect  
how much detergent you should use.  
The small dial in the detergent dis-  
penser drawer can be set purely as a  
reminder of the hardness level.  
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.  
Flushing out the machine  
Any residual lubricants and water from  
testing still in the machine should be  
flushed out as follows:  
^ Turn on the stopcock.  
^ Do not load any laundry.  
^ Add detergent to compartment j,  
however only add max.1/4 of the  
amount recommended on the pack-  
aging for a full load.  
^ Remove the yellow spatula from in-  
side the dispenser drawer.  
^ Press the I-ON/0-OFF button in.  
^ Turn the programme selector to COT-  
TONS 60°C.  
Important!  
This programme must be selected in or-  
der to prepare the machine for spinning  
and to activate the ball valve.  
^ Press the Water plus button in. The  
indicator light next to it will come on.  
^ Press the "Spin" button repeatedly un-  
til the Without final spin indicator light  
comes on.  
^ Press the START button.  
^ Adjust the dial to the appropriate set-  
ting (1 = soft, 4 = very hard).  
^ When this programme has finished  
your washing machine is ready for  
using for the first time.

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

BPress the Door button.  
To start a programme  
CLoad the drum.  
GPress in the I-ON/0-OFF button.  
Unfold washing and load loosely in the  
drum. To achieve best results it is ad-  
visable to make up mixed loads con-  
sisting 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.  
– The programme selector should be  
pointing to Finish, the indicator light  
Anti crease/Finish is lit up in the  
sequence display.  
Overloading reduces the wash result  
and causes more creasing.

Adding 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.

It is important to dispense the  
correct amount, because . . .  
Woollens and knitwear containing wool  
mixtures and hand-washable garments  
should be washed using a detergent  
specifically designed for washing  
woollens.  
. . . too little has the following results:  
– Laundry will not be properly clean  
and will in time become grey and  
hard to the touch.  
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!  
– Greasy particles cling to the laundry.  
– Limescale deposits on the heater el-  
ements.  
Add detergent according to the amount  
recommended on the packaging. The  
right amount to dispense will depend  
on the following:  
. . . too much results in the following:  
– Excessive foam.  
– Low level of agitation.  
– The quantity of laundry.  
– Poor washing, rinsing and spinning  
results.  
– The soiling level of the laundry.  
Lightly soiled  
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly  
slight body odour.  
– High water consumption (an addi-  
tional rinse cycle will automatically  
switch in).  
Normally soiled  
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight  
stains.  
– Burdening the environment.  
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.

Adding detergent  
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.  
Dispense detergent as specified for  
soft water areas.  
Miele do not recommend connecting  
the machine to a household water soft-  
ener.  
If you wash using several components  
(e.g. special application detergents),  
we recommend always dispensing the  
agents into compartment j in the fol-  
lowing order:  
i = Compartment for pre-wash.  
This compartment is also used  
for starch formulations when  
starching separately.  
1. Detergent  
j = Compartment main wash  
2. Water softener  
3. Stain remover  
p = Compartment fabric conditioner  
Water is taken in through compartment  
i in the pre-wash.  
This way the agents are distributed  
more efficiently.  
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 for a  
COTTONS programme (e.g. in very  
hard water areas), the machine can be  
programmed so that water and deter-  
gent can also be taken into the main  
wash through compartment i , see  
"Programmable functions", "Activating  
compartment i".  
Fabric conditioners,  
texturisers, liquid starch  
Fabric conditioners make garments soft  
and fluffy to handle and help prevent  
static cling when tumble drying.  
Texturisers are synthetic starch formula-  
tions and give body to items e.g. shirts,  
tablecloths and bed linen.  
Starch gives body to items of washing.  
^ Dispense according to the amount  
specified on the packaging.

a small amount of water remains in the  
fabric conditioner compartment p.  
If starching frequently, clean the dis-  
penser compartment and especially  
the siphon tube and conditioner  
channel. (See section on the deter-

Top-up rinse (programmable):  
At the end of the main wash 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 inter-  
vals thereby minimising crease formation.  
Rinse and interim spin:  
There is a spin between the rinses.  
Final spin:  
The maximum spin speed according to the programme can be selected with the Spin button. In the  
programmes MINIMUM IRON, DELICATES, and MIXED WASH, the spin speed is automatically limited  
to the above stated maximum spin speed.  
Anti-crease, loosen:  
The anti-crease action guards against the tendency for creases to set in if laundry is not removed from  
the drum as soon as a programme has finished. There is drum movement twice a minute. The door  
can be opened and laundry removed at any time during the anticrease phase.

Interim rinse and spin is carried out in  
the relevant programmes.  
The options can be called up through  
one of the programmable functions,  
(see Water plus system in the Section

Washing is not spun after the final rinse,  
but the water is drained away, and the  
machine goes straight into the  
anti-crease stage.

If an additional option is switched on  
(and the indicator light in the button is  
lit up), the option can be switched off  
by pressing the button. The indicator  
light goes out.  
Interim rinse and spin is carried out  
during the programme cycle.  
The washing remains suspended in wa-  
ter after the final rinse.  
This helps to reduce the possibility of  
creasing if the washing is left for some  
time before being taken out of the ma-  
chine.  
To continue the programme:  
Select the required spin speed with the  
Spin button.  
The maximum spin speed is automati-  
cally limited according to the basic

Option 2  
Increase in the water level in main wash  
and rinses for COTTONS, MINIMUM  
IRON, DELICATES, QUICK WASH, and  
MIXED WASH particularly for fabrics  
that need special care, or where extra  
attention must be taken in dissolving  
detergent. This option is already set  
when the machine is delivered from the  
factory.  
The following programmable  
functions can be selected:  
A = Maximum water level  
The water level for rinsing is automat-  
ically raised to the maximum level  
where rinse results are particularly  
important.  
Option 3  
An extra rinse cycle is introduced to the  
Cottons programme, e.g. when rinse re-  
sults are particularly important.  
Effective for the rinses in programmes:  
– COTTONS  
Option 4  
Is Option 2 plus Option 3, where this  
quality of rinse is required.

C = Activating the i  
compartment  
– MIXED WASH - Poly/Cottons  
B = Water plus system  
For the first 10 seconds of the main  
wash cycle water flows in through  
compartment i.  
The "Water plus" button offers four  
options, increasing water level and/or  
bringing in an extra rinse cycle.  
Compartment j may sometimes not  
be able to hold the total amount of de-  
tergent required when:  
Option 1  
Increase in the rinse water level in the  
COTTONS, MINIMUM IRON, QUICK  
WASH and MIXED WASH programmes,  
where for example rinse results are par-  
ticularly important.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the washing machine Extra cleaning  
^ Clean the casing with a mild  
non-abrasive detergent or soap and  
water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.  
Carrying out a hot wash (70°C or  
above) with powder detergent approx.  
once every six weeks will help prevent  
deposits building up in the machine.  
These can occur when washing is  
mainly done at low temperatures, and  
lead to unpleasant smells. If you have  
no reason to wash laundry occasionally  
at this high temperature, then carry out  
a 95°C COTTONS programme as a  
cleaning cycle with powder detergent,  
but not laundry, at regular intervals.  
^ Clean the facia panel and lid with a  
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.  
^ The drum can be cleaned using a  
suitable proprietary stainless steel  
cleaner.  
Do not use solvents, abrasive  
cleaners, glass cleaners or all-pur-  
pose cleaners. These might cause  
damage to the plastic surfaces be-  
cause 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 suit-  
able for cleaning surfaces such as  
stainless steel, glass, plastic and  
chrome without the use of chemicals.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the detergent dis-  
penser drawer  
^ Remove the siphon from compart-  
ment p.  
Wash under running warm water and  
replace.  
^ Pull out the detergent dispenser  
drawer until a resistance is felt.  
Over time, detergent residue can build  
up in the water jets in the top of the de-  
tergent drawer housing.  
^ Press down the red release catch  
and at the same time pull the drawer  
right out of the machine.  
^ Before replacing the detergent  
drawer, use a bottle brush or similar  
to clean them out.  
^ Clean the dispenser compartments  
and conditioner channel.  
Regularly remove any detergent resi-  
dues.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter  
and pump  
Check the fluff (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 drain-  
ing out of the machine will still be  
hot.  
^ Open the flap.  
^ Place a suitable container under the  
drain fixture.  
^ Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times.  
Do not take it right out.  
Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from  
behind the detergent drawer facia  
panel, (see illustration above).  
With large volumes of water, when the  
container is full, screw the fluff filter  
back into position, and empty the dish  
before repeating the procedure.  
^ Open the door.  
37  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Cleaning and care  
^ Once the flow of water ceases, re-  
move the fluff filter completely.  
^ Clean the inside of the fluff filter hous-  
ing.  
^ Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.  
Remove any deposits of limescale and  
detergent or foreign objects from the  
thread of the filter housing and filter unit  
as they can cause water to leak.  
Limescale deposits are often a sign of  
using too little detergent.  
^ Remove any foreign objects (e.g.  
buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff.  
^ Turn the impeller by hand to make  
sure it rotates freely. Any foreign ob-  
jects causing an obstruction should  
be removed.  
^ Put the fluff filter back in place and  
secure it.  
Make sure the fluff filter is securely  
tightened. Otherwise there is a risk  
of water leakage during use.  
After cleaning  
^ Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the  
detergent dispenser compartment  
j to reactivate the ball valve which  
keeps detergent in circulation in the  
suds.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the filter in the water  
inlet  
^ First turn off the stopcock.  
^ Unscrew the threaded union connect-  
ing the free end of the inlet hose to  
the stopcock.  
The washing machine has two filters to  
protect the water inlet valves.  
One filter the open end of the inlet hose  
is accessible and should be cleaned  
about every six months, or after an in-  
terruption to the external water supply.  
^ Remove the rubber seal from the re-  
cess.  
^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the  
plastic filter bar, remove the filter and  
clean.  
^ Put the filter and seal back in the re-  
verse order and reconnect the hose.  
Turn on the stopcock and check the  
connection is water tight. If water drips  
out, tighten the connection.  
Never forget to put the filter back in  
place after cleaning it.

Installation  
Installation surface  
Installation  
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.  
Lift the machine from its packaging  
base and move it to its 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 the machine  
from slipping during 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 transit fitting  
^ If installing on a wooden joist floor, we  
recommend a plywood base at least  
30 mm thick, 590 x 520 mm wide.  
The base should span several joists  
and be bolted to the joists, not only to  
the floorboards. Check for the pres-  
ence of pipes and cables first.  
The most stable part of the floor is  
usually in the corner.  
,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).

Installation  
Levelling the machine  
The machine must stand perfectly level  
on all four feet to ensure safe and  
proper operation.  
^ Using a screwdriver loosen foot 1 to-  
gether with counter nut 2 by turning it  
anti-clockwise, and unscrew to the  
required height.  
^ Put the machine back on all four feet.  
^ 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 using a pipe  
wrench and using a screwdriver turn  
the counternut 2 clockwise until it sits  
firmly up against the housing.  
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 sit  
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.  
Unscrewing and adjusting the feet  
^ Gently tip the machine and prop it up  
using a solid wood wedge for exam-  
ple, to ensure stability.  
,Make sure the machine does not  
slip as this could cause injury.

Installation  
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 a  
hose able to withstand pressure of at  
least 70 bar. This also applies to all  
fixtures and fittings used. Miele origi-  
nal parts fulfil this condition.

Installation  
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 is 1.5 m long. It 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.  
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.  
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.  
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.  
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 conversion kit from the  
Miele Spare Parts Department or your  
Miele dealer.

non-rewireable plug and the socket out-  
lets are not suitable for the plug sup-  
plied or if the existing plug needs to be  
replaced by a new one, the old plug will  
need to be cut off and an appropriate  
plug fitted. The fuse carrier and the  
fuse should be removed from the old  
plug and disposed of.  
Ensure power is not supplied to the ap-  
pliance while installation work is being  
carried out.  
The appliance is supplied with a mains  
cable with moulded plug for connection  
to a 230-240V mains supply. The volt-  
age, rated load and fuse rating are  
given on the data plate. Please ensure  
these match the household mains sup-  
ply.  
The plug cut from the cable should then  
be disposed of and on no account be  
inserted into any socket elsewhere in  
the house (electric shock hazard).  
The fuse cover must be refitted when  
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover  
is lost, the plug must not be used until a  
suitable replacement is obtained. The  
colour of the correct replacement cover  
is that of the coloured insert in the base  
of the plug, or the colour that is em-  
bossed in words on the base of the  
plug (as applicable to the design of  
plug fitted).  
Connection should be made via a fused  
plug and suitable switched socket  
which is easily accessible after installa-  
tion.  
For extra safety it is advisable to install  
a residual current device (RCD), with a  
trip current of 30 mA (in accordance  
with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100, section  
739).  
Do not connect via an extension lead.  
Replacement fuses should be ASTA ap-  
proved to BS 1362 and have the cor-  
rect rating. Replacement fuse covers  
may be purchased from your local elec-  
trical supplier or Service agent.
