Warning and Safety instructions  
Technical safety  
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 frequency) match  
the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified  
electrician.  
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be  
~
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is most important that this  
basic safety requirement is observed 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 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 machine (e.g. danger of overheating).  
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.

Warning and Safety instructions  
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.  
If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a  
~
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.  
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the  
~
event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.  
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.  
In 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 guarantee.  
This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.  
~
on a ship).  
Do not make any alterations to the washing machine, unless  
~
authorised to do so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions  
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.  
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 "Installation and connection"). During spinning, a transit  
bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine  
and adjacent furniture or appliances.  
Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of  
~
time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the  
immediate vicinity.  
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.  
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.  
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam  
~
function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high  
temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass.  
Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has  
dissipated.

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 instructions on the packaging. A special  
descaling agent is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts  
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning  
~
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being  
washed in the machine.  
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing  
~
benzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component  
parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and  
explosion hazard.  
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing  
~
benzine, to clean the outside surfaces of this machine. They can  
cause damage to plastic surfaces.  
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for  
~
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the  
manufacturer's instructions carefully.  
Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which  
~
can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in  
this machine.  
If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them  
~
thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek  
medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label  
for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should  
avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.

Energy and water consumption  
Detergent  
– Water consumption and energy  
usage are determined by the size of  
the load.  
– Do not exceed the amounts of  
detergent recommended by the  
manufacturer on the packaging.  
To make the most out of your  
machine, load the maximum dry load  
for the programme you are using.  
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of  
soiling of the laundry.  
– Reduce the amount of detergent for  
smaller loads. Use the Load/  
Detergent button.  
– When smaller amounts of laundry are  
washed, the automatic load  
recognition system will reduce the  
amount of water, time and energy  
used. This may mean that the time  
left shown in the display is adjusted  
during the course of the wash  
programme.  
Choosing the correct Extra option  
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)  
Select:  
– A wash programme together with the  
Short extra option for light to normal  
soiling where there are no obvious  
marks.  
– Use the Express 20 programme for  
small loads.  
– Modern detergents make it possible  
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g  
20°C). Washing using lower  
temperature settings will save  
energy.  
– A wash programme without any extra  
options for normal to heavy soiling  
with visible staining.  
– A wash programme together with the  
Soak extra option for very heavily  
soiled laundry.  
– To maintain the hygiene of the  
washing machine, carry out a hot  
wash (60°C or above) using powder  
detergent at regular intervals. The  
Hygiene Info message will appear in  
the display to remind you to carry out  
a hot wash.  
– The Pre-wash extra option for laundry  
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,  
sand).  
When drying with a tumble dryer  
Selecting the highest possible spin  
speed for the wash programme will  
save energy when drying in a tumble

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.  
See “Optional accessories” at the end of this booklet for details of Miele  
branded care products including detergents and fabric conditioner.  
1)  
Liquid detergent  
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. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and  
to compartment i for the pre-wash  
2)  
Use powder detergent  
* Specialist detergent  
Detergent designed specifically for the wash programme or type of fabric.  
** Only use proofing agents containing fluorochemical compounds which are  
stated by the manufacturer as being "suitable for use on membrane textiles".  
Do not use proofing agents which contain paraffin. Add proofing agents to

Installation and connection  
Installation surface  
Transporting the washing machine to  
its installation site  
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 machine as  
well as by the handle recesses at the  
front.  
Please note:  
,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 first.  
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). Otherwise  
there is the danger of the machine  
moving and falling off the plinth.  
^ To remove the left and right covers  
1. Pull on the attached stopper,  
2. then use a screwdriver to release the  
catch at the top.

,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  
the top catch is located above the  
holder.  
,The machine must not be moved  
without the transit bars in place.  
Store them 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).  
^ Plug the holes with the plastic caps  
as illustrated.

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 counternut 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  
counternut 2 in a clockwise direction.  
Then turn counternut 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.

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.  
The protective sleeve of the hose

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.

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.  
If required, the drain hose can be  
extended to a length of 5 m. The  
necessary parts can purchased from
