Warning and safety instructions  
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-  
fied electrician.  
Read the operating instructions be-  
fore using this machine for the first  
time. They contain important infor-  
mation about the safety, use and  
maintenance of the machine. This  
way you will avoid the risk of acci-  
dents and damage to the machine.  
Keep these operating instructions in  
a safe place and ensure that new  
users are familiar with the content.  
Pass them on to any future owner of  
the machine.  
The electrical safety of this appli-  
ance can only be guaranteed when  
continuity is complete between the ma-  
chine and an effective earthing system  
which complies with local and national  
regulations. It is most important that this  
basic safety requirement is regularly  
tested by a qualified electrician.  
The manufacturer cannot be held re-  
sponsible for the consequences of an  
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-  
tric shock).  
Correct usage  
Do not connect the appliance to  
the mains electricity supply by an  
extension lead. Extension leads do not  
guarantee the required safety of the  
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).  
Only use the washing machine to  
wash items which are specified by  
the manufacturer to be machine-wash-  
able on the wash-care label, and tex-  
tiles composed of hand-washable wool  
or wool blend fabrics as well as satin,  
lace, silk and other hand-washable gar-  
ments.  
Any other applications may be danger-  
ous. The manufacturer is not liable for  
damage resulting from improper use or  
operation.  
The machine is built in accordance  
with current safety requirements.  
Unauthorised repairs could result in un-  
foreseen dangers for the user, for which  
the manufacturer cannot accept re-  
sponsibility. Repairs should only be un-  
dertaken by a Miele approved  
engineer.  
This appliance should not be oper-  
ated by children. Supervise its use  
by the elderly or infirm.  
Ensure current is not supplied to the  
appliance while maintenance or repair  
work is being carried out.  
The machine is only completely  
isolated from the electricity supply  
when:  
Technical safety  
Before setting up the machine,  
check it for any externally visible  
damage. Do not install and use a dam-  
aged machine.  
– it is switched off at the wall socket  
and the plug is withdrawn, or  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.  
Before connecting the machine,  
ensure that the connection data on  
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-  
quency) match the mains electricity

still in place may result in damage to  
both the machine and adjacent furni-  
ture or appliances.  
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.  
Turn off the stopcock if the ma-  
chine is to be left for any length of  
time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is  
no floor drain (gully) in the immediate  
vicinity.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infestation  
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
Flooding danger  
If hooking the drain hose into a

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. Other-  
wise this will result in flooding.  
Use  
Take care to ensure that foreign ob-  
jects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper  
clips) do not find their way into the ma-  
chine with the washing. These may  
damage components of the machine  
(e.g. suds container, drum), which in  
turn can result in damage to the wash-  
ing.  
This equipment is not designed for  
maritime use or for use in mobile  
installations such as caravans, aircraft  
etc. However it may be suitable for  
such usage subject to a risk assess-  
ment of the installation being carried  
out by a suitably qualified engineer.  
Do not install your washing ma-  
chine in rooms where temperatures  
below freezing may occur. Frozen  
hoses may burst under pressure.The  
reliability of the electronic control unit  
may be impaired at temperatures below  
freezing point.

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. If in  
doubt, contact the Miele Customer Ser-  
vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.  
Always make sure the drum is sta-  
tionary before reaching in to re-  
move washing. Reaching into a moving  
drum is extremely dangerous.  
Textiles which have been pre-  
treated in solvent based cleaning  
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in  
clean water before being washed in the  
machine.  
Accessories  
Accessory parts may only be fitted  
when expressly approved by Miele.  
If other parts are used, guarantee, per-  
formance and product liability claims  
will be invalidated.  
Never use solvent based cleaning  
agents in this machine, as this may  
result in damage to component parts  
and create toxic fumes. Such deter-  
gents also pose a fire and explosion  
hazard.  
Disposal of your old machine  
Before discarding an old machine,  
unplug it. Render the plug useless.  
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap-  
pliance to prevent misuse. This should  
be done by a competent person.  
Only use dyes specified by the  
manufacturer as being suitable for  
use in a domestic washing machine. Al-  
ways observe the manufacturer's in-  
structions carefully.

Locking functions (programme lock-  
ing, system lock)  
Future updates (PC)  
The indicator or check light marked PC  
allows a service engineer to update  
your machine in future years.  
Electronic programme locking  
Electronic programme locking prevents  
the door from being opened or the  
programme cancelled during a wash  
programme. The electronic programme  
locking is automatically cancelled at the  
end of the programme.  
When, for example, new programmes  
are developed or new fabrics are intro-  
duced, a service engineer will be able  
to modify existing programme cycles  
accordingly.  
Miele will provide information when  
such possibilities become available.  
Electronic system lock  
The system lock prevents anyone from  
using the washing machine without  
your knowledge. When the system lock  
is activated :  
– the door cannot be opened with the  
door button  
– a programme cannot be started.

Before using for the first time  
Before using the machine for the first  
time ensure that it is correctly in-  
stalled and connected. See the rele-  
vant section under "Installation".  
Also check that the fluff filter is se-  
curely tightened. Otherwise there is  
a risk of water leakage during use.  
For safety reasons spinning is not pos-  
sible until the machine has been pre-  
pared for using for the first time. To acti-  
vate the spinning function you must run  
a wash programme without laundry and  
without detergent.  
Using detergent could result in an ex-  
cessive 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.

in exceptional circumstances, e.g.  
for oil based stains or where a very  
hot wash is required.  
– Select the highest suitable spin  
speed in the wash programme when  
tumble drying afterwards.  
– Use the Mixed wash or the Quick  
wash programme for smaller  
amounts of laundry.  
– Load recognition and automatic rins-  
ing can cause the duration of a  
programme to vary greatly. The main  
wash may be shortened and a rinse  
cycle omitted depending on the  
amount of laundry.  
– A main wash (programme without  
pre-wash) is sufficient for cleaning  
normally soiled laundry.  
– By using the additional option Soak  
for heavily soiled laundry you can se-  
lect a lower temperature in the main  
wash.  
– Use the additional option Soak in-  
stead of Pre-wash with heavily soiled  
laundry.  
If Soak is followed immediately by a  
main wash the same suds are used.

How to wash correctly  
Before washing  
,Do not use solvent-based clean-  
ing agents in this machine.  
ASort the laundry  
^ Sort the laundry by colour and by  
care label symbol. Most garments  
have a textile care label in the collar  
or side seam.  
Dark textiles often contain excess dye  
and should be washed separately sev-  
eral times before being washed to-  
gether with other garments. Always  
wash whites and coloureds separately.  
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-  
arately in a delicates programme (use a  
washing bag where appropriate).  
– Curtains:  
^ Empty all pockets.  
Remove lead weights and strips or  
place in a laundry bag.  
,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,  
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause  
damage to garments and compo-  
nents 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, e.g. collars and  
cuffs, and water soluble stains can  
be pre-treated with bar soap, liquid  
detergent or detergent mixed into a  
solution or paste.  
– Knitted garments, trousers and  
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts:  
Turn inside out, if recommended by  
the manufacturer.  
With particularly stubborn stains ask  
your dry cleaner for advice.  
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and  
eyes etc before washing.  
– Fasten duvet covers to prevent  
smaller items rolling up inside them.  
,Do not wash any items in this  
machine which are specified by the  
manufacturer as non-machine  
washable on the care label. (h

FSelect a programme  
COpen the drum door  
^ Press the Door button and open the  
drum door.  
DLoad the drum  
^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely  
in the drum. To achieve best results it  
is advisable to make up mixed loads  
consisting of both large and small  
items. This improves the washing ef-  
fect and helps distribute the load  
evenly to keep the machine stable  
and reduce the noise level during  
spinning.  
^ Turn the programme selector to the  
required programme.  
GSelect a spin speed  
To save energy and water try to load  
the maximum amount for the  
programme selected.  
However, be careful not to overload the  
machine. Overloading reduces the  
wash result and causes more creasing.  
EClose the drum door with a gentle  
swing.  
Make sure that no garments are caught  
between the drum door and seal.  
^ Press the "Spin" button repeatedly un-  
til the indicator light for the spin  
speed you want comes on.  
In some programmes the maximum  
spin speed is limited. The machine will  
not allow a higher spin speed to be se-  
lected.

Detergent  
All modern detergents produced for  
automatic washing machines are suit-  
able, including liquid, compact (con-  
centrated), tablets, liquid tablets and  
special application detergents. Use dis-  
pensing 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 by  
proportion to suit smaller loads!  
Woollens and knitwear containing wool  
mixtures and hand-washable garments  
should be washed using a detergent  
specifically designed for washing  
woollens.  
– The soiling level of the laundry.  
Lightly soiled  
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly  
slight body odour.  
Normally soiled  
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight  
stains.  
Heavily soiled  
Stains and soiling clearly visible.  
– The water hardness level.  
Check with your local water supplier  
if you do not know the water hard-  
ness level in your area.  
Silk should be washed using a liquid  
detergent specifically designed for  
washing woollens. Do not use biologi-  
cal 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.  
Water softeners  
A water softener can be used to cut  
down on the use of detergents in ex-  
tremely hard water areas. Dispense ac-  
cording to the amount specified on the  
packaging. First add detergent and  
then the water softener.  
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft  
water.  
Miele do not recommend connecting  
the machine to a household water soft-  
ener.

Detergent  
Fabric conditioners and liquid  
starch  
If starching frequently, the dispenser  
compartment and especially the si-  
phon tube and conditioner channel  
will need regular cleaning to remove  
any residual starch. See "Cleaning  
the detergent dispenser drawer".  
Do not add starch formulations or  
viscous liquid starch to the § com-  
partment as it will clog it up. See  
"Adding starch separately".  
Fabric conditioners make garments soft  
and fluffy 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.  
^ Dispense according to the amount  
specified on the packaging.

washing machines can be used.  
However, please note that the salt

Cleaning and care  
Extra cleaning  
,Disconnect the appliance from  
the mains electricity supply and  
withdraw the plug from the socket  
prior to cleaning the machine.  
Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)  
with powder detergent approx. every 6  
weeks to help prevent deposits building  
up in the machine. These can occur  
when washing is mainly done at low  
temperatures, and also lead to unpleas-  
ant smells. If you have no reason to  
wash occasionally at this high tempera-  
ture, then run a Cottons 95°C

dry at regular intervals.  
^ The drum can be cleaned using a  
suitable proprietary stainless-steel  
cleaning agent.  
,Do not use solvents, abrasive  
cleaners, glass cleaners or all-pur-  
pose cleaning agents. These might  
damage plastic surfaces and other  
components because of the chemi-  
cals they contain.  
The washing machine must not be  
hosed down.  
E-Cloth  
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from  
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,  
Part number 98013530, which is suit-  
able for cleaning surfaces such as  
stainless steel, glass, plastic and  
chrome without the use of chemicals. It  
can be washed 300 times.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
drawer  
Remove detergent residues regularly.  
^ Clean the siphon.  
1. Remove the siphon from compart-  
ment §. Wash under running warm  
water. Clean the siphon tube in the  
same way.  
^ Pull out the detergent dispenser  
drawer until a resistance is felt. Press  
down the release catch and at the  
same time pull the drawer right out of  
the machine.  
2. Replace the siphon.  
Over time, detergent residue can build  
up in the water jets in the top of the de-  
tergent drawer housing.  
^ Clean the detergent drawer with  
warm water.  
^ Before replacing the detergent  
drawer, use a bottle brush or similar  
to clean them out.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter  
and pump  
Check the drain 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 wa-  
ter 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.  
^ Use it to open the access flap.  
^ Place a dish under the access flap.  
There is a filter flap opener located be-  
hind the detergent drawer facia panel  
(see illustration).  
^ Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times.  
Do not take it right out.  
With large volumes of water the dish will  
need to be emptied several times. Se-  
cure the fluff filter back into position  
and empty the dish before repeating  
the procedure.  
^ Remove the opener.  
36

Cleaning and care  
Once the flow of water ceases:  
^ Clean the inside of the fluff filter hous-  
ing. Remove any deposits of  
limescale and detergent or foreign  
objects from the thread of the filter  
housing and filter unit (as these ob-  
jects can cause a leakage of water).  
Deposits of limescale are often a sign  
of underdosage of powder.  
^ Put the fluff filter back in place and  
secure.  
,Make sure the fluff filter is se-  
curely tightened. Otherwise there is  
a risk of water leakage during use.  
^ Remove the fluff filter completely.  
After cleaning  
^ Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.  
^ Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the  
detergent dispenser compartment  
j to reactivate the ball valve.  
^ Remove any foreign objects (e.g.  
buttons, coins, etc) and fluff. Turn the  
impeller by hand to check that it is  
free to rotate. Any foreign object  
causing an obstruction should be re-  
moved.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the water inlet filters  
The inlet hose should be inspected  
regularly because it is subjected to  
high pressure while the machine is  
in operation. It should be replaced if  
there are small cracks in the surface,  
or if it has been otherwise damaged.  
The washing machine has two filters to  
protect the inlet valves.  
These filters should be checked every  
six months or so, or more often if there  
are frequent interruptions to the water  
supply.  
If replacing the inlet hose only use a  
hose able to withstand pressure of at  
least 70 bar. Miele’s own hoses meet  
this requirement.  
To clean the filter in the union in the  
open end of the inlet hose:  
^ First turn off the stopcock.  
^ Unscrew the threaded union connect-  
ing the free end of the inlet hose to  
the stopcock.  
To clean the filter in the water inlet  
valve  
^ Using pliers, carefully loosen the  
ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve  
and unscrew.  
^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the  
recess.  
^ Use water pump pliers to withdraw  
the plastic filter by the bar (see illus-  
tration). Clean, put back and secure.  
^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the  
plastic filter bar 2, remove the filter  
and clean.  
^ Put the filter and seal back in the re-

Installation and connection  
Installation surface  
Installing the washing machine  
A concrete floor is the most suitable in-  
stallation surface for a washing ma-  
chine, 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 pro-  
trudes to the rear of the washing ma-  
chine as well as by the handle recesses  
at the front.  
Please note the following points:  
Please note:  
^ The machine must be level and se-  
curely positioned.  
^ Do not lift the machine by the drum  
door.  
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
,Ensure that the machine feet and  
the floor are dry to prevent the ma-  
chine from slipping during the spin  
cycle.  
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.  
Removing the transit fittings  
If possible, install the machine in a cor-  
ner, 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).  
^ 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  
Levelling the machine  
The machine must stand perfectly level  
on all four feet to ensure safe and  
proper operation.  
^ Using the spanner supplied turn  
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direc-  
tion. Then turn counter nut 2 together  
with foot 1 to unscrew.  
^ Use a spirit level to check the ma-  
chine is standing level.  
Incorrect installation may increase elec-  
tricity and water consumption and may  
cause the machine to move about.  
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe  
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again us-  
ing the spanner supplied until it sits  
firmly up against the housing.  
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 deliv-  
ered.  
,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.

Installation and connection  
Connection to water supply  
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4 metres in length  
are available as optional extras.  
The machine should be connected to a  
mains water supply in accordance with  
standard regulations. In Germany the  
washing machine is not required to  
have a non-return valve as it has been  
designed to comply with the relevant  
German DIN standard.  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a water flow pressure of 1 bar mini-  
mum up to 10 bar maximum. The static  
water pressure must not exceed 10 bar.  
If it is higher than 10 bar it is essential  
to fit a reducer 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 approx. 1.5 m long 3/8" pressure  
hose should be connected to the stop-  
cock via the 3/4" threaded union.  
There is a minimum flow pressure of 1  
bar pressure if 5 litres of water flow into  
a suitable container in 15 seconds.  
The two dirt filters - one in the open end  
of the inlet hose, one at the inlet point in  
the solenoid valve must not be re-  
moved.  
This pressure hose is not suitable for  
connection to a hot water supply.  
Please make sure the washer sits cor-  
rectly in the union.  
The connection point is subject to  
mains water pressure. Turn on the stop-  
cock slowly and check for leaks.  
If replacing the inlet hose only use  
genuine Miele hoses. These are  
tested to withstand pressure of at  
least 70 bar. This also applies to all  
fixtures and fittings used.

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 se-  
cure.  
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. Other-  
wise there is a risk of water overflow-  
ing or of some of the drained water  
being sucked back into the machine.  
If required, the drain hose can be ex-  
tended to a length of 5 m. The neces-  
sary 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.  
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.  
* 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.  
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.

Installation and connection  
Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363  
If this machine is fitted with a non-  
rewireable plug, the following informa-  
tion applies:  
If the socket outlets are not suitable for  
the plug supplied with the product, it  
must be cut off and an appropriate plug  
fitted. The fuse carrier and fuse should  
be removed from the old plug and dis-  
posed of.  
The plug cut from the flexible cord  
should then be disposed of and on no  
account be inserted into any socket  
elsewhere in the house (electric shock  
hazard).  
The fuse cover must be refitted when  
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover  
is lost, the plug must not be used until a  
suitable replacement is obtained. The  
colour of the correct replacement cover  
is that of the coloured insert in the base  
of the plug, or the colour that is em-  
bossed in words on the base of the  
plug (as applicable to the design of  
plug fitted).  
Replacement fuses should be ASTA ap-  
proved to BS 1362 and have the cor-  
rect rating. Replacement fuse covers  
may be purchased from your local elec-  
trical supplier or Service agent.
