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

machine can only be guaranteed when  
continuity is complete between it and  
an effective earthing system which  
complies with current local and national – it is switched off at the wall socket  
safety regulations. It is most important  
that this basic safety requirement is  
present and regularly tested, and  
and the plug is withdrawn, or  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
where there is any doubt the household – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the  
wiring system should be inspected by a

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.  
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  
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit  
bar which is still in place may result in  
damage to both the machine and  
adjacent furniture or appliances.  
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  
Department or via the internet on  
www.miele.co.uk.

Programme duration  
After the start of a programme, the  
estimated programme duration will  
appear in the display in hours and  
minutes.  
During the first 8 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.

time ensure that it is correctly  
installed and connected. See  
"Installation and connection". Also  
check that the drain filter is securely  
tightened to prevent the risk of water  
leaks during use.  
^ If the language shown is not the one  
you want, select the language you do  
want by turning the programme  
selector. Confirm your selection by  
pressing the Start/Stop button.  
Reminder to remove transit bars  
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.  
To avoid the risk of damage, the  
transit bars must be removed before  
the machine is used for the first time.  
See "Installation and connection" for  
instructions on how to do this.  
Using detergent could result in an  
excessive build-up of foam.  
^ After removing the transit bars (if this  
has not already been done by your  
fitter), press the Start/Stop button.  
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.  
Running your first programme  
Run a Cottons 60°C programme without  
any laundry and without detergent.  
^ Press the I-On/0-Off button in.  
^ Open the stopcock.  
If the washing machine is being  
switched on for the first time, the  
welcome screen will appear.  
^ Press the Start/Stop button.  
^ At the end of the programme switch  
the machine off.  
The welcome screen will appear in

Washing environmentally and economically  
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 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.  
– When smaller amounts of laundry are  
washed using the Cottons  
programme, 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 and Pre-wash)  
Select:  
– A wash programme together with the  
Short extra option for light to normal  
soiling where there are no obvious  
marks.  
– Using the Cottons 60°C programme,  
instead of the Cottons 95°C  
– A wash programme without any extra  
options for normal to heavy soiling  
with visible staining.  
programme will give energy savings  
of between 35% and 45%. This is  
sufficient for most levels of soiling.  
– 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  
dryer afterwards.

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)

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.

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.

2. Replace the siphon.  
Descaling the machine  
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  
Department or via the internet on  
www.miele.co.uk.  
^ Clean the fabric conditioner channel  
using a brush and warm water.  
If starching frequently, thoroughly  
clean the siphon, the siphon tube  
and the fabric conditioner channel  
regularly. A build-up of starch will  
cause them to get clogged.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the water inlet filters  
To clean the filter in the water inlet  
valve:  
The washing machine has two filters to  
protect the inlet valves.  
^ Using pliers, carefully loosen the  
ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve  
and unscrew.  
These filters should be checked every  
six months or so, or more often if there  
are frequent interruptions to the water  
supply.  
To clean the filter in the union in the  
open end of the inlet hose:  
^ First turn off the stopcock.  
^ Unscrew the threaded union  
connecting the free end of the inlet  
hose to the stopcock.  
^ Use pointed nose pliers to withdraw  
the plastic filter by the bar (see  
illustration). Clean, put back and  
secure.  
The two filters must be put back in  
place after cleaning.  
^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the  
recess.  
^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the  
plastic filter bar 2, remove the filter  
and clean it.  
^ 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 it leaks,  
tighten the connection.

Installation and connection  
Installation surface  
Transporting the 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 front feet as well as by the  
edge of the lid where it protrudes to the  
rear of the washing machine.  
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 fittings  
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 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 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).  
^ Fit the covers onto 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 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.

Installation and connection  
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  
secure.  
The 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.  
– Make sure that the water can drain  
away freely without hindrance.  
Otherwise there is a risk of water  
overflowing or of some of the drained  
water being sucked back into the  
machine.  
If required, the drain hose can be  
extended to a length of 5 m. The  
necessary parts can be purchased  
from the Miele Spare Parts Department  
or your Miele dealer.  
2. Connected securely to a plastic  
drain pipe with a rubber nipple.  
There is no need to use a non-return  
valve.  
* 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 kit from the Miele Spare  
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.

Programmable functions  
Water plus  
Gentle action  
This programmable function is used  
to select the water intake setting for  
the Water plus extra option.  
Activating gentle action reduces the  
drum action and is suitable for  
washing slightly soiled items more  
gently. It should be activated for  
garments with a single bar under the  
care label and for articles which feel  
too hard after they have been dried.  
There are three different options:  
Water +  
(the machine is delivered with this  
option selected)  
Gentle action can be activated for the  
Cottons and the Minimum iron  
programmes.  
The water level is increased in the wash  
and rinse stages.  
The washing machine is delivered with  
the Gentle action setting deactivated.  
Extra rinse  
An extra rinse is introduced.  
Suds cooling  
Water+ & Extra rinse  
When this is activated, additional  
water flows into the drum at the end  
of the main wash to cool the suds  
down. Hot suds can damage plastic  
drainage pipes.  
The water intake is increased in the  
wash and rinse stages and an  
additional rinse is also introduced.  
Suds cooling takes place when  
temperatures of 95°C and 75°C are  
selected.  
Suds cooling should be activated:  
– to prevent the danger of scalding if  
the drain hose is hooked over the  
edge of a sink or basin.  
– where the drainage pipes do not  
comply with DIN 1986.  
The machine is delivered with Suds  
cooling deactivated.
