age to both the machine and adjacent  
furniture or appliances.  
– if a fault has been identified, the ma-  
chine must be examined by a com-  
petent person before further use and  
repaired if necessary.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Use  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Washing environmentally and economically  
Washing environmentally and economically  
Caring for the environment means sav-  
ing water, energy and detergent when  
washing but without compromising on  
results.  
Economy tips  
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 take  
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.

operating sequence.  
Before washing  
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-  
arately in a delicates programme.  
1 Prepare the wash load  
Only wash textiles made from wool or  
wool mixtures if the textile care label  
states that they are suitable for ma-  
chine washing.  
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  
Empty all pockets.  
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,  
paper clips etc) can cause damage  
to textiles and components in the  
machine.  
Sort the washing  
Most textiles have a care label in the  
collar or side seam. Sort the washing  
by care label symbols. (See Symbols  
chart). Only wash items in this machine  
which are declared by the manufac-  
turer as being machine washable on  
the textile care label.

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:  
– Excessive foam.  
– Low level of agitation.  
– Poor washing and rinsing results.  
Water is taken in through compartment  
i in the pre-wash.  
Water is taken in through compartment

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  
3) 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 inter-  
vals. This minimises the danger of creasing, by avoiding sudden temperature changes.  
WOOLLENS:  
Wool is susceptible to damage from movement when it is wet. Drum movement times during the pro-  
gramme are shorter, and the drum rotates more slowly.

The following options are additionally  
available for certain wash programmes:  
pressed in to give an additional option.  
“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).  
– Soak duration: 2 hours.  
When the “Door” button is pushed in,  
all the other buttons spring out again,  
and the additional options are can-  
celled.  
Amount of detergent for "Soak"  
The amount of detergent recom-  
mended by the detergent manufac-  
turers should be distributed according  
to to the wash programme which is to  
be run after the “Soak” process.  
Programmes without pre-wash:  
Add the total amount of detergent to  
compartment j or directly into the  
drum on top of the laundry.  
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.

Additional options  
“With pre-wash”  
Spin  
– For heavily soiled and stained items.  
The final spin speed is selected by turn-  
ing the spin speed selector to the set-  
ting required, but also depends on the  
basic wash programme chosen.  
“Water plus”  
– This is recommended for particularly  
delicate fabrics, and  
“Without final spin”  
– if more water is required for dispens-  
ing the detergent.  
Interim rinse and spin is carried out in  
the relevant programmes.  
– the water level increases in all sec-  
tions of the programmes COTTONS,  
MINIMUM IRON and QUICK WASH  
40°C.  
Washing is not spun after the final  
rinse, but the water is drained away,  
and the machine goes straight into the  
anti-crease stage.  
“Short wash”  
“Rinse hold”  
– 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.  
Interim rinse and spin is carried out in  
the relevant programmes.  
At the end of the final rinse the washing  
remains suspended in water.  
This helps to reduce the possibility of  
creasing, if the washing is left for some  
time before being taken out of the ma-  
chine.  
– In the COTTONS and MINIMUM  
IRON programmes only two rinse  
cycles are carried out at high water  
level.  
To continue the programme:  
Turn the spin speed selector to the re-  
quired setting.  
The maximum spin speed is automati-  
cally limited according to the basic  
wash programme chosen.

Cleaning and care  
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.  
With normal cleaning approx. 2 litres of  
water run out.  
If the drain outlet is clogged, more  
water will be retained in the machine  
(up to 25 litres).  
Caution: if laundry has been  
washed at a high temperature,  
water draining out of the machine  
will still be hot!  
Open the flap  
Place a dish under the drain fixture.  
Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from  
behind the detergent drawer facia  
panel, (see illustration above).  
Turn the fluff filter lid round 2 - 3  
times. Do not take it right out.  
With large volumes of water when the  
dish is full, screw the fluff filter back  
into position and empty the dish before  
repeating the procedure.

The washing machine has two filters to  
protect the water inlet valves.  
Unscrew the threaded union con-  
necting the free end of the inlet hose  
to the stopcock.  
The accessible filter in the union in the  
open end of the inlet hose should be  
cleaned about every six months, or  
after an interruption 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  
reverse order and reconnect the

Installation  
Installation  
Installation surface  
Ensure that the machine feet and the  
floor are dry to prevent the machine  
from slipping during the spin cycle.  
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 recommend 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 of 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 slippage during spin using  
retaining clips (available from the  
Miele Spare Parts Dept).  
Installation  
Lift the machine from its packaging  
base and move it to its site. Please  
note:  
Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°.  
Do not lift the machine by the drum  
door.

Installation  
Please note the following:  
Adjusting the facia height  
– The machine should never be oper-  
ated without the front panel firmly in  
place.  
The adapter can be adjusted to match  
the machine facia to the height of an  
adjacent drawer by:  
– The electrical and water connection  
points should be close to the ma-  
chine and easily accessible.  
– altering the position of the nuts  
or  
– by removing one or more of the  
strips.  
– The skids provided with the machine  
are intended to prevent damage to  
floor coverings when manoeuvring it  
into position.  
Adapter strip adjustment range:  
– max. 10 mm upwards (see arrows il-  
lustrated),  
– Installation under a work surface 900-  
910 mm or 950/960 mm from the

Fitting the front panel  
The front of this appliance can be fitted  
with a door panel to match surrounding  
units. If the unit is fitted in a MIELE KIT-  
CHEN, a door panel with the appropri-  
ate dimensions and the necessary  
holes pre-drilled can be provided.  
If the kitchen is from a manufacturer  
other than Miele, it is recommended  
that the panel be cut to size and  
holes drilled by a specialist, accord-  
ing to Miele specifications.  
Front panel dimensions:

There are various ways of fixing the  
panel in position.  
The template provided serves to locate  
and drill the fixing holes for non-Miele  
kitchens.  
Example 1:  
Drill all fixing holes for the inner door  
panel to the specified depth. On  
chipboard fronts: inject silicon seal-  
ant (supplied) into the (= Ø 10 mm)  
free holes.  
Place the template on the lower  
edge of the rear of the door panel.  
There are four short parallel marks in  
all four corners of the template.  
Unscrew the lower screws on the top  
hinges on both the left and right  
hand side of the door (see illustra-  
tion.).  
Use these short markings to position  
the template correctly.  
Example:

Installation  
Before fitting the plinth facia, please  
note:  
Fitting a plinth facia  
The appliance plinth below the door  
can be partially concealed using a  
plinth facia.  
Under no circumstances must the  
flap(s) in the appliance plinth be  
stuck over.  
The height and return of the appliance  
plinth cannot be altered.  
Fitting the plinth facia:  
A taller plinth facia can only be in-  
stalled if the overall niche height is  
higher.  
Stick the velcro fasterner provided to  
the appliance plinth.  
For this the following procedure is rec-  
ommended:  
Plinth height 100 mm (standard)  
Niche height: 820 mm  
Match up the hooked side and the  
looped side of the velcro fastener  
lengthwise.  
Plinth height 150 mm  
Niche height: 870 mm - a spacer frame  
is required.  
Cut into 2 or 3 pieces.  
Peel off the protective backing from  
one of the velcro fastener pieces.  
Plinth height 200 mm  
Position the cut pieces along the ap-  
pliance plinth, at the left and right  
hand edge, and in the middle, avoid-  
ing the drain flaps. Press firmly into  
place.  
Niche height: 920 mm - two spacer  
frames are required.  
A plinth facia (600 mm long) can be or-  
dered from your kitchen Dealer or  
manufacturer. For Miele kitchens  
please quote the model number when  
ordering.  
Now peel the protective backing off  
the other velcro fastener piece.  
Address the plinth facia to the ad-  
hesive backing and press firmly into  
place.

Connection to water supply  
Fitting  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a minimum 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.  
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  
The static water pressure must not ex-  
ceed 10 bar. If it is higher than 10 bar it  
is essential to fit a reducer valve.

The Miele “Waterproof system” con-  
nected between the stopcock and the  
machine offers the safest protection  
against water leaks.  
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:  
For the “Waterproof system” to function  
correctly, it may only be fitted in the po-  
sitions shown (see illustrations).  
Connection to the mains water supply  
should incorporate a mains stopcock  
with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should  
be fitted by a qualified plumber.  
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.  
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.  
Protection in the event of a leaking  
water inlet hose  
The “Waterproof system” is NOT  
suitable for connection to a hot  
water supply.  
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.  
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.  
The protective sleeve of the hose must  
not be damaged (see illustration).  
Only use a genuine Miele “Waterproof  
system” able to withstand pressure of  
up to 70 bar, should you ever need a re-  
placement.  
The “Waterproof system” with a hose  
length of approx. 4.5 metres is avail-  
able as an optional extra.  
In order to protect the water inlet  
valves the two dirt filters, one in the  
inlet union, the other in the solenoid  
safety valve connection must not be  
removed.

Plumbing  
The “Waterproof system” must only  
be connected to its own stopcock. It  
must not be connected to mixer taps  
or similar.  
Important!  
The plastic casing of the water connec-  
tion contains an electric component.  
Do not dip into liquids!

Plumbing  
Connection to the drainage system  
Drain hose connection:  
The machine drains via a drain pump  
with a delivery head of 1 metre.  
Direct into a sink: Hook the hose  
over the edge and secure. Make  
sure that the water can flow freely to  
avoid flooding and to prevent water  
from being sucked back into the ma-  
chine.  
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.  
Connected to a standpipe.  
Connected to a plastic drain pipe  
with a rubber nipple. There is no  
need to use a non-return valve.  
Allow the water to drain off into a  
floor drain.  
If required, the hose can be extended  
to a length of 5 m. The necessary parts  
can be purchased from the Miele  
Spare Parts department.  
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.
