Programme duration  
After the start of a programme, the  
estimated programme duration will  
appear in the display in hours and  
minutes.  
During the first 10 minutes the washing  
machine measures how much water is  
being absorbed by the laundry and  
uses this to calculate the load. The  
programme duration may be longer or  
shorter depending on this absorbency  
rate.

Before using for the first time  
Before using the machine for the first  
time ensure that it is correctly  
installed and connected. See  
"Installation and connection". Also  
check that the drain filter is securely  
tightened. Otherwise there is a risk  
of water leakage during use.  
This washing machine has  
undergone a thorough functional test  
in the factory and there will be some  
residual water in the drum from this  
process.  
For safety reasons spinning is not  
possible until the machine has been  
prepared for using for the first time. To  
activate the spinning function you must  
run a wash programme without laundry  
and without detergent.  
Using detergent could result in an  
excessive build-up of foam.  
This also activates the ball valve. The  
ball valve prevents detergent escaping  
from the suds container into the sump  
during a wash programme, thus making  
maximum use of the detergent.  
^ Open the stopcock.  
^ Press the I-On/0-Off button in.  
^ Turn the programme selector to  
Cottons 60°C.  
^ Press Start.  
When this programme has finished turn  
the programme selector to Finish. Your  
washing machine is ready for using for  
the first time.

To make the most out of your  
machine, load the maximum dry load  
for the programme you are using.  
– Reduce the amount of detergent with  
smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than  
the amount recommended can be  
used when washing a half load).  
– Use the Automatic and Express  
programmes for small loads.  
Choosing the correct additional

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  
damage to garments and

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 washing machine has fully  
electronic controls with automatic load  
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.  
Special features in the programme  
sequences:  
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. Additional  
options which can be selected have not  
been taken into account.  
1)  
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.  
The programme sequence display  
shows the stage the programme has  
reached.  
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 u has been selected

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 amounts for a full load 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.  
See "Optional accessories" at the end of this booklet for details of Miele branded  
care products, including detergents and fabric conditioners.

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, the dispenser  
compartment and especially the  
siphon tube and fabric conditioner  
channel will need regular cleaning to  
remove any residual starch. See  
"Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
drawer". Do not add powder starch  
formulations or viscous liquid starch  
to 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.

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.  
Otherwise there is a danger of the  
machine moving about.

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.  
^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.  
Then plug the holes as shown with  
the caps.  
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).  
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 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 water protection  
system  
– Overflow protection  
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.  
The Miele water protection system  
protects the washing machine from  
water damage.  
The system consists of three main  
components:  
3) Drain hose  
1) the inlet hose  
The drain hose is protected by a  
ventilation system which prevents the  
washing machine from being  
emptied completely.  
2) the electronic unit and the washing  
machine housing  
3) the drain hose  
1) Inlet hose  
The inlet hose can withstand  
pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.  
2) Electronic unit and washing  
machine housing  
– 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 flowing  
into the machine and water in the  
suds container is pumped away.

Installation and connection  
Connection to the water  
supply  
In order to protect the water inlet  
valve, the two dirt filters - one in the  
open end of the inlet hose, one at  
the inlet point in the machine - must  
not be removed.  
The machine should be connected to a  
mains water supply in accordance with  
local and national safety regulations.  
The German authorities do not require it  
to have a non-return valve as the  
Extension hose  
washing machine has been designed  
to comply with DIN regulations.  
– Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length  
are available from your Miele dealer  
or the Miele Spare Parts Department  
as optional extras.  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a flow pressure of between  
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. 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.  
The washing machine is not suitable  
for connection to a hot water supply  
and connection to a household  
water softener is not recommended.  
Maintenance and care  
Only use a genuine Miele hose should  
you ever need a replacement or  
extension. These are tested to  
withstand pressure of at least  
7,000 kPa.

drain hose 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.  
If required, the drain hose can be  
extended to a length of 5 m. The  
necessary parts can purchased from  
the Miele Spare Parts Department or  
your Miele dealer.
