machine washable by the  
manufacturer. Most garments have a  
fabric care label in the collar or side  
seam.

color.  
General tips  
– Dark fabrics often bleed the first few  
times they are washed. They should  
be washed separately several times  
before being included in a mixed  
load.  
^ Empty all pockets.  
,Foreign objects left in pockets  
(e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.)  
can cause damage to clothes and  
the machine.  
– Curtains: Remove any lead weights  
or strips before washing.  
– Loose bra underwires should be  
removed or sewn in place before  
washing.  
Pre-treat stains  
^ Tough stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea,  
etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars  
and cuffs) should be pre-treated with  
a stain remover or a paste made from  
powder detergent and warm water.  
Dab stains with a damp light colored  
cloth. Do not rub!  
– Woolens, knitted garments, jeans,  
pants and sweat shirts should be  
turned inside out.  
– Close zippers, hooks and eyelets  
before washing.  
– Comforter covers and pillowcases  
should be fastened to prevent small  
items from rolling inside of them.

Cleaning and care  
Descaling the washer  
,Before cleaning or maintenance,  
disconnect the power supply by  
unplugging the unit or manually  
"tripping" the circuit breaker.  
If the correct amount of detergent is  
dispensed, the machine should not

^ If the washer needs to be descaled,  
use a descaling agent with corrosion  
protection. These special descaling  
agents can be purchased from Miele.  
Use as directed on the packaging.  
,Do not use a hose to wash down  
the washer.  
Cleaning the exterior and  
control panel

a mild solution of non-abrasive  
detergent or soap and water, and  
wipe dry with a soft cloth.  
^ Clean the drum with a stainless steel  
cleaner specially formulated for use  
in a washing machine, available from  
Miele.  
,Do not use chemical solvents,

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the water inlet filters  
The washer has two water inlet filters to  
protect each inlet valve. These filters  
should be checked and cleaned if  
necessary every 6 months. This may  
need to be done more frequently with  
some water supplies.  
^ Turn off the water supply.  
^ Unscrew the inlet hose from the valve  
by turning the connector counter-  
clockwise using a wrench if  
necessary.  
^ Remove the rubber seal, 1, from the  
connector.  
^ Using needle nose pliers, grasp the  
plastic filter, 2, and pull it out of the  
hose connector.  
^ Clean the filter under running water  
and carefully remove any large  
particles.  
^ Replace the filter and seal then  
reconnect the hose.  
^ Slowly turn on the valve and check  
for leaks. If water leaks, tighten the  
bolt.  
Both filters must be put back in  
place after cleaning.

drawer.  
^ Remove and clean the lint trap.  
^ Check that the impeller (in the back  
of the chamber) rotates freely by  
spinning it with your hand.  
^ Remove the tool.  
^ Press the "Door" button.

place.  
,If the lint trap lid is not tightened  
securely water will leak out when the

Installation  
Installation site  
Installation  
A concrete floor is the most suitable  
surface for the washer. Concrete floors  
are less prone to vibration during the  
spin cycle than wooden floors.  
Use the front washer feet and the rear  
excess end to transport the washer  
from its shipping pallet to the  
installation site.  
Do not lift the washer by the drum  
door!  
Note:  
– The machine must be leveled and  
securely positioned.  
,Ensure that the machine’s feet  
and the floor are dry to prevent  
slippage during the spin cycle.  
– To avoid vibration while spinning, the  
machine should not be installed on  
soft floor coverings.  
Removing the shipping struts  
If the installation must be performed on  
a wooden floor:  
^ Install the unit on a  
2 ft. x 2 ft. x 1 3/16"  
(61 x 61 x 3 cm) plywood base.  
Ideally the base should be large  
enough to span several joists and  
should be anchored to the joists and  
not just the floor boards.  
It is best to install the washer in the  
corner of a room, where the stability of  
the floor is at its greatest.  
^ Remove the left and right rotary  
protectors. Unhook, 1, the rotary  
protectors with a screw driver and  
remove, 2.  
,If the machine is installed on a  
raised platform, it should be secured  
with retaining clips. These clips are  
available from your dealer or Miele.  
If installed on a masonry or concrete  
½
base, the base should have a " to  
3/4" (12-20 mm) high rim. This is  
required to prevent the washer from  
vibrating off the stand during the  
spin cycle.

in increased water and energy  
consumption as well as the washer  
"banging" in the spin cycle or "walking"  
across the floor during use.  
^ Check that the machine stands level.  
^ Once level, hold the foot, 1, immobile  
with a wrench. Turn the locking ring,  
2, with the combination wrench  
towards the machine.  
Adjust the four leveling feet  
The washer is leveled by adjusting the  
four feet. The machine is boxed with the  
feet completely screwed in.  
,All four locking rings must be  
tight against the bottom of the  
machine. In addition, check to see  
that the feet were not inadvertently  
unscrewed while tightening the  
rings. Running a machine that is not  
level or whose feet are not tight may  
cause damage to both the machine  
and its surrounding area.

connected to a portable water supply.  
A non-return valve is not needed unless  
required by building code.  
The washing machine has ½" (13 mm)  
pressure hoses with 3/4" (19 mm) female  
hose thread connections. If there is no  
water hookup, contact a plumber to  
install a connection. Make sure that the  
sealing ring is seated properly on the  
hose connector.  
To protect the inlet valve, the two  
filters (one at the pressure hose /  
valve connection and one at the inlet  
connection to the solenoid valve)  
must not be removed.  
Replace the hose only with a genuine  
Miele hose, or with a hose able to  
withstand up to 145 psi (10 bar)  
pressure. The water valve connector  
must also be able to withstand 145 psi  
(10 bar).

Water connection  
Tips for a hot water connection  
^ Connect the cold water intake hose  
(blue mark) to the cold water valve  
and the hot water intake hose (red  
mark) to the hot water valve.  
The hot water temperature from the hot  
water valve must not exceed 140°F  
(60°C); the ideal temperature is 130°F  
(55°C).  
If the machine is being connected only  
If there is no water pressure at the hot  
to a cold water supply, both the hot and water inlet, the unit will automatically  
cold water intake hoses must be  
attached to the cold water valve  
through the use of a Y adapter  
(available at a hardware store). Both  
hoses must be connected to a water  
source or the machine will not function  
properly.  
switch to cold water after several  
minutes.  
Do not connect the washer to hot  
water only.  
^ Turn on the valve(s) and check for  
leaks. The water pressure must be  
within 15 -145 psi (1 -10 bar). If the  
water pressure is greater that 145 psi  
(10 bar) a pressure reducer must be  
installed. If the water pressure is  
below 15 psi (1 bar) there will not be  
enough water available for a  
complete fill.  
The water intake hoses are equipped  
with screen filters. Do not remove these  
filters except for cleaning.

Drainage  
The 5 ft (1.5 m) drain hose may be  
connected as follows:  
1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose  
over the edge of the sink and secure  
it firmly (e.g. by tying the hose to the  
water faucet).  
2. To a stand pipe: place the drain hose  
into a 1 ½" (4 cm) stand pipe and  
secure it firmly.  
3. To a floor drain: The machine is  
equipped with an air gap /  
anti-siphoning system so that no  
minimum drain height is required.  
^ The machine drains using a pump  
with a maximum delivery height of 4 ft  
(1.2 m).  
^ Make sure there are no kinks in the  
drain hose.  
If necessary, the drain hose may be  
extended to run a maximum of 16 ft  
(4.9 m), as long as the 4 ft (1.2 m)  
height is not exceeded. Hose  
extensions are available from Miele.
