Warning and Safety instructions  
Technical safety  
Unauthorised repairs could result in  
~
unforeseen dangers for the user, for  
which Miele cannot accept liability.  
Repairs should only be undertaken by a  
Miele approved service technician.  
Ensure current is not supplied to the  
machine until after maintenance or  
repair work has been carried out.  
Before setting up the washing  
machine, check it for any externally  
visible damage.  
~
Do not install or use a damaged  
washing machine.  
Before connecting the washing  
~
machine, ensure that the connection  
data on the data plate (voltage and  
connected load) match the mains  
electricity supply. If in any doubt,  
consult a qualified electrician.  
If the connection cable is faulty it  
~
must only be replaced by a Miele  
approved service technician to protect  
the user from danger.  
In the event of a fault or for cleaning  
~
purposes, the washing machine is only  
completely isolated from the electricity  
supply when:  
– it is switched off at the wall socket  
and the plug is withdrawn, or  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the  
screw-out fuse is removed (in  
The electrical safety of this washing  
~
machine can only be guaranteed when  
continuity is complete between it and  
an effective earthing system which  
complies with current local and national  
safety regulations. It is most important  
that this basic safety requirement is  
present and regularly tested, and  
where there is any doubt the household  
wiring system should be inspected by a  
qualified electrician. The manufacturer  
cannot be held liable for the  
countries where this is applicable).  
The Miele "Water protection system"  
~
protects from water damage provided  
the following conditions have been met:  
– the machine is correctly plumbed in  
and connected to the electricity  
supply.  
– if a fault has been identified, the  
machine must be examined by a  
competent person before further use,  
and repaired if necessary.  
consequences of an inadequate  
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).  
Do not connect the washing  
~
machine 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).  
In countries where there are areas  
~
which may be subject to infestation by  
cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
particular attention to keeping the  
machine 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 machine guarantee.  
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.

Flooding danger.  
~
Do not make any alterations to the  
washing machine, unless authorised to  
do so by Miele.  
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.  
~
Correct use  
Do not install your washing machine  
~
in rooms where temperatures below  
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may  
burst or split. The reliability of the  
electronic control unit may be impaired  
at temperatures below freezing point.  
Take care to ensure that foreign  
~
objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper  
clips) do not find their way into the  
machine with the laundry. These may  
damage components of the machine  
(e.g. suds container, drum), which in  
turn can result in damage to the  
laundry.  
Before using the washing machine  
~
for the first time, check that the transit  
bars at the rear of the machine have  
been removed (see section on  
If the correct amount of detergent is  
~
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit  
bar which is still in place may result in  
damage to both the machine and  
adjacent furniture or appliances.  
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  
instructions on the packaging. A  
special descaling agent is available to  
order from the Miele Spare Parts  
Department or via the internet on

Brief instructions  
,If you use a solvent-based clean-  
ing agent (e.g. one containing ben-  
zene) to pre-treat a stain, make sure  
that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons)  
are protected, and that the cleaning  
agent is rinsed off before washing the  
garment in the machine.  
The headings numbered A, B, C, . . .  
show the operating sequence and can  
be used as brief instructions.  
ASort the laundry  
,Do not use solvent-based  
cleaning agents in this machine.  
^ Sort the laundry by colour and by  
care label. Most garments have a  
textile care label in the collar or side  
seam.  
Dark textiles often contain excess dye  
and should be washed separately  
several times before being included in  
a mixed load. Always wash whites and  
coloureds separately.  
^ Empty all pockets.

coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause

components 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, stains etc. should  
be cleaned as soon as possible,  
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages  
should be carefully dabbed off using  
a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!  
– Knitted garments, trousers and  
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn  
inside out, if recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated  
with liquid detergent, stain removers  
etc. first, following the manufacturer's  
instructions. With particularly stubborn  
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.  
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and  
eyes etc before washing.  
– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent  
small items from being rolled up  
inside them.  
Do not wash any items in this machine  
which are specified by the  
manufacturer as not washable on the  
care label. (h symbol)

Programme sequence  
This machine has fully electronic  
controls with automatic load  
Special features in the programme  
sequences:  
recognition. It takes in the right amount  
of water required for the programme  
depending on the amount of laundry  
and its absorbency rate. This means  
that programme cycles and durations  
can vary.  
Anti-crease:  
At the end of every programme, with  
the exception of the Woollens  
programme, the drum continues to turn  
at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help  
prevent creasing. The door can be  
opened and laundry removed at any  
time during the anti-crease phase.  
The programme sequences outlined in  
the chart are based on the basic  
programme with a full load. Extra  
options which can be selected have not  
been taken into account.  
1)  
Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse without  
detergent is carried out automatically  
to remove dust.  
The display shows the stage the  
programme has reached.  
2)  
Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is  
carried out before the wash process  
begins to deflate the pillows.  
Subsequent water intake for the main  
wash is through compartment j.  
3)  
A second rinse is carried out when a  
temperature of 60°C to 95°C has  
been selected. A third rinse is  
carried out when a temperature  
below 60°C is selected.  
4)  
A third/fourth rinse is carried out if:  
– there is too much foam in the drum  
– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has  
been selected  
No spin has been selected  
5) A third rinse is carried out if:  
No spin has been selected  
6)  
In the Outerwear programme,  
laundry is only spun after the main  
wash.

Detergent  
The correct detergent  
All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable.  
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 for  
smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others, and may not be  
suitable for programmes with short durations.  
Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk!  
Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the  
detergent packaging.  
Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufacturer  
for programmes without a pre-wash.  
For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special container  
from the Miele Spare Parts department which sits in the main wash compartment  
j of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent to this container for  
the main wash and to compartment i for the pre-wash.

Detergent  
The right amount to dispense will  
depend on the following:  
Water softener  
A water softener can be used to cut  
down on the use of detergents in hard  
water areas. Dispense according to the  
amount specified on the packaging.  
First add detergent and then the water  
softener.  
– The quantity of the laundry  
– The soiling level of the laundry  
Lightly soiled  
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly  
slight body odour.  
Miele branded water softening tablets  
are available from the Miele Spare Parts  
Department or via the internet on  
Normally soiled  
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight  
stains.  
Heavily soiled  
Stains and soiling clearly visible.  
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft  
water.  
– The water hardness level.  
Check with your local water supplier  
if you do not know the hardness level  
in your area.  
Miele do not recommend connecting  
the machine to a household water  
softener.  
Washing with several  
components  
If you wash using several components  
(e.g. special application detergents),  
we recommend always dispensing the  
agents into compartment j in the  
following order:  
1. Detergent  
2. Water softener  
3. Stain remover  
This way the agents are distributed  
more evenly.

Fabric conditioners and liquid  
starch  
If starching frequently, thoroughly  
clean the dispenser compartment,  
especially the siphon tube and  
fabric conditioner channel, regularly.  
See "Cleaning the detergent  
dispenser drawer". Do not use  
powder starch formulations or  
viscious liquid starch in the §  
compartment as it will clog up. See  
below.  
Fabric conditioners make garments soft  
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.  
Automatic dispensing of fabric  
conditioner or liquid starch to

a small amount of water remains in the  
fabric conditioner compartment §.  
^ Do not use colour run or dye  
removers in this machine.  
^ 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. Follow the  
manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Cleaning and care  
Extra cleaning  
,Disconnect the machine from the  
mains electricity supply and  
withdraw the plug from the socket  
before 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.  
,The washing machine must not  
be hosed down.  
A range of Miele branded cleaning and  
conditioning agents are available to  
order from your Miele dealer, the Miele  
Spare Parts Department, or via the  
Cleaning the detergent  
dispenser drawer  
External casing and fascia  
panel  
Remove detergent residues regularly.  
Clean the casing using a Miele E-Cloth,  
or with a mild non-abrasive cleaning  
agent or soap and water using a well  
wrung-out cloth. Wipe dry with a soft  
cloth.  
^ The drum and any stainless steel  
outer panels can be cleaned using a  
suitable proprietary stainless-steel  
cleaning agent following the  
manufacturer's instructions on the  
packaging.  
^ 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.  
,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.  
^ Clean the detergent drawer with  
warm water.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
drawer housing  
^ Clean the siphon.  
1. Remove the siphon from  
compartment § and rinse under  
warm running water. Clean the  
siphon tube in the same way.  
^ Use a bottle brush to remove  
detergent residues and limescale  
from the jets inside the detergent  
dispenser drawer housing.  
2. Replace the siphon.  
Descaling the machine  
If starching frequently, thoroughly  
clean the siphon and siphon tube  
regularly. A build-up of starch will  
cause them to get clogged.  
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  
instructions on the packaging.

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:  
,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  
securely positioned.  
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
Removing the transit bars  
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.  
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 spinning  
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  
,To avoid the risk of injury the  
holes for the transit bars must be  
covered after the transit bars have  
been removed.  
^ Secure the transit bars to the back of  
the washing machine. Make sure that  
holes b are fitted over retainers a.  
,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).  
^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.  
Then plug the holes as shown with  
the caps.  
Re-fitting the transit bars  
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the  
procedure.

Installation and connection  
Levelling the machine  
The machine must stand perfectly level  
on all four feet to ensure safe and  
proper operation.  
Incorrect installation may increase  
electricity and water consumption and  
may cause the machine to move about.  
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.  
^ Use a spirit level to check the  
machine is standing level.  
^ 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.  
,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.  
^ Using the spanner supplied turn  
counter nut 2 in a clockwise  
direction. Then turn counter nut 2  
together with foot 1 to unscrew.

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 machine. 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 tested to between  
7,000 and 10,000 kPa.  
– 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.

the mains water supply in accordance  
,The plastic casing of the safety  
valve contains electrical  
with 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.  
components. The Waterproof 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 machine is designed to operate  
with a flow pressure of between 100  
and 1,000 kPa (1-10 bar). If it is higher  
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a  
pressure reducing 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 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.  
Do not get wet.  
The washing machine is not suitable  
for connection to a hot water supply  
and connection to a household  
water softener is not recommended.  
The protective sleeve of the hose  
must not be damaged or kinked.

Installation and connection  
Maintenance and care  
If you intend to unscrew the Miele  
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.  
In order to protect the water inlet  
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet  
valve connection must not be  
removed.  
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.  
This hose is tested to withstand  
pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can  
be used as a flexible extension to the  
water supply.  
N.B. Using this hose renders the  
Waterproof system safety valve on the  
inlet hose ineffective.
