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and the plug is withdrawn, or  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– the mains fuse is withdrawn.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

both the machine and adjacent furni-  
ture or appliances.  
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.  
If the connection cable is damaged  
it must be replaced by a special  
Miele cable.

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, 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.  
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.

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 manufacturer’s instructions given on  
the packaging. Consult the Miele Cus-  
tomer Service Department if necessary.  
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.  
Textiles which have been pre-  
treated in solvent-based cleaning  
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in  
clean water before being washed in the  
machine.  
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.  
Only use dyes specified by the  
manufacturer as being suitable for  
use in a washing machine. Always ob-  
serve the manufacturer’s instructions  
carefully.  
Colour run and dye removers may  
contain sulphur compounds which  
cause damage such as corrosion. Do  
not use these products in this machine.  
Always make sure the drum is sta-  
tionary before reaching in to re-  
move laundry. Reaching into a moving  
drum is extremely dangerous.

age are determined by the size of the  
load. Load to the maximum recom-  
mended for the programme selected.  
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-  
gent which may be recommended by  
the manufacturer on the packaging.  
– The washing times can vary consid-  
erably due to the automatic load ad-  
justment feature. Depending on the  
amount of the load, the main wash  
may be shortened and one rinse  
omitted.  
– Reduce the amounts of detergent  
with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half  
load, approx. one third less deter-  
gent).  
– Select the highest suitable spin  
speed in the wash programme when  
tumble drying afterwards.  
– Use the Mixed Wash poly/cottons  
programme or the Quick Wash  
programme for smaller amounts of  
laundry.  
– To save energy wash normally and  
lightly soiled laundry at lower tem-  
peratures. The 95°C Cottons  
programme is probably only needed  
in exceptional circumstances, e.g.  
for oil based stains or where a very  
hot wash is required.  
– A main wash (programme without  
pre-wash) is sufficient to clean nor-  
mally 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.

Before using for the first time  
Water hardness reminder dial  
Several factors including the water  
hardness level in your area will affect  
how much detergent you should use.  
The small dial in the detergent dis-  
penser drawer can be set purely as a  
reminder of the hardness level.  
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.  
Flushing out the machine  
Any residual lubricants and water from  
testing still in the machine should be  
flushed out as follows:  
^ Turn on the stopcock.  
^ Do not load any laundry.  
^ Add detergent to compartment j ,  
however only add max.1/4 of the  
amount recommended on the pack-  
aging for a full load.  
^ Press the "I-ON/0-OFF" button in.  
^ Turn the programme selector to

How to wash correctly  
Brief guide  
Dark textiles often contain excess dye  
and should be washed separately sev-  
eral times before being included in a  
mixed load.  
The headings numbered (A,B,C,...)  
show the operating sequence and can  
be used as a brief guide.  
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-  
arately in a delicates programme (use a  
washing bag where appropriate).  
Before washing  
ASort the laundry.  
Do not wash any items in this machine  
which are specified by the manufac-  
turer as non-machine washable on the  
care label. (h symbol)  
Pre-treat the laundry  
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  
used solvent-based cleaning agents in  
this machine.  
^ Empty all pockets.  
– Curtains:  
Remove lead weights and strips or  
place in a laundry bag.  
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,  
paper clips, etc.) can cause dam-  
age to textiles and components in  
the machine.  
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:  
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar  
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or  
sewn in.  
Most garments have a textile care label  
in the collar or side seam. Sort the  
washing by care label symbols. (See  
"Programmes - Care symbols" for their  
explanation).  
– Knitted garments, trousers and  
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts:  
Turn inside out, if recommended by  
the manufacturer.  
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and  
eyes etc. before washing.  
– Fasten duvet covers to prevent  
smaller items rolling up inside them.

BPress the "Door" button.  
To start a programme  
CLoad the drum.  
GPress in the "I-ON/0-OFF" button.  
Unfold washing and load loosely in the  
drum. To achieve best results it is ad-  
visable to make up mixed loads con-  
sisting of both large and small items.  
This improves the washing effect and  
helps distribute the load evenly to keep  
the machine stable and reduce the  
noise level during spinning.  
– The programme selector should be  
pointing to Finish, the indicator light  
"Anti-crease/Finish" is lit up in the se-  
quence display.  
– If the programme selector is pointing  
to a programme, the programme  
time is shown in the display and the  
"START" button flashes.  
Overloading reduces the wash result  
and causes more creasing.

Adding detergent  
All modern detergents produced for au- Water Hardness  
tomatic washing machines are suitable,  
including liquid, compact (concen-  
trated), tablets and special application  
detergents. Use dispensing aids, e.g.  
balls, if these are supplied with the de-  
tergent.

Woollens and knitwear containing wool  
mixtures and hand-washable garments  
should be washed using a detergent  
specifically designed for washing  
woollens.  
It is important to dispense the  
correct amount, because . . .  
Silk should be washed using a liquid  
detergent specifically designed for  
washing woollens. Do not use biologi-  
cal detergents on silk as the enzymes  
will damage the silk!  
. . . too little has the following results:  
– Laundry will not be properly clean  
and will in time become grey and  
hard to the touch.  
– Greasy particles cling to the laundry.  
Add detergent according to the amount  
recommended on the packaging. The  
right amount to dispense will depend  
on the following:  
– Lime deposits on the heater ele-  
ments.  
. . . too much results in the following:  
– Excessive foam.  
– The quantity of laundry.  
– The soiling level of the laundry.  
– Low level of agitation.  
Lightly soiled  
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly  
slight body odour.  
– Poor washing, rinsing and spinning  
results.  
Normally soiled  
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight  
stains.  
– High water consumption (an addi-  
tional rinse cycle will automatically  
switch in).  
Heavily soiled  
Stains and soiling clearly visible.  
– Burdening the environment.  
– The water hardness level  
Check with your local water supplier  
if you do not know the water hard-  
ness level.

Adding detergent  
Adding detergent  
Water softeners  
A water softener can be used to cut  
down on the use of detergents in water  
hardness ranges II-IV. 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.  
If you wash using several components  
(e.g. special application detergents),  
we recommend always dispensing the  
agents into compartment j in the fol-  
lowing order:  
1. Detergent  
i = Compartment soak/pre-wash  
j = Compartment main wash  
2. Water softener  
3. Stain salts  
p = Compartment fabric conditioner  
This way the agents are distributed  
more efficiently.  
Water is taken in through compartment  
i in the pre-wash.  
Fabric conditioners,  
texturisers, liquid starch  
Water is taken in through compartment  
j in the main wash. If the capacity of  
compartment j is insufficient for the  
amount of detergent needed for a  
COTTONS programme (e.g. in very  
hard water areas), the machine can be  
programmed so that water and deter-  
gent can also be taken into the main  
wash through compartment i , see  
"Programmable functions", "Activating  
compartment i".  
Fabric conditioners make garments soft  
and fluffy to handle and help prevent  
static cling when tumble drying.  
Texturisers are synthetic starch formula-  
tions and give body to items e.g. shirts,  
tablecloths and bed linen.  
Starch gives body to items of washing.  
^ Dispense according to the amount  
specified on the packaging.

Top-up rinse (programmable):  
At the end of the main wash 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 thereby minimising crease formation.  
Rinse and interim spin:  
There is a spin between the rinses.  
Final spin:  
The maximum spin speed according to the programme can be selected with the Spin button. In the  
programmes MINIMUM IRON, DELICATES, WOOLLENS, Separate rinse and MIXED WASH the spin  
speed is automatically limited to the above stated maximum spin speed.  
Anti-crease, and loosen:  
The anti-crease action guards against the tendency for creases to set in when fabrics have been left in  
the drum for a long time. There is drum movement twice a minute.

Option 2  
Increase in the water level in soak, pre-  
wash, main wash and rinses for Cot-  
tons, Minimum iron, Delicates, Quick  
wash, and Mixed wash particularly for  
fabrics that need special care, or where  
extra attention must be given to dissolv-  
ing detergent. This option is already set  
when the machine is delivered from the  
factory.  
The following programmable  
functions can be selected:  
P1 = Water level  
The water level for rinsing is automat-  
ically raised to the maximum level  
where rinse results are particularly  
important.  
Option 3  
An extra rinse cycle is introduced to the  
Cottons programme, e.g. when rinse re-  
sults are particularly important.  
Effective for the rinses in programmes:  
– COTTONS  
Option 4  
Is Option 2 plus Option 3, where this  
quality of rinse is required.  
– MINIMUM IRON  
– QUICK WASH  
P4 = Activating the i  
compartment  
– MIXED WASH - Poly/Cottons  
P2 = Water plus system  
For the first 10 seconds of the main  
wash cycle, water flows in through  
compartment i.  
The "Water plus" button offers four  
options, increasing water level and /  
or bringing in an extra rinse cycle.  
Compartment j may sometimes not  
be able to hold the total amount of de-  
tergent required:  
Option 1  
Increase in the rinse water level in the  
Cottons, Minimum iron, Quick Wash  
and Mixed wash - Poly/Cottons  
programmes, where for example rinse  
results are particularly important.  
– when the water is very hard (over  
3.8 mmol/l, water hardness level IV)  
and  
– the washing is heavily soiled.  
In this case compartment i can be  
used to flush in the extra detergent for  
the main wash.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the washing machine Extra cleaning  
^ Clean the casing with a mild non-  
abrasive detergent or soap and wa-  
ter. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.  
Carrying out a hot wash (70°C or  
above) with powder detergent approx.  
once every six weeks will help to en-  
sure that no deposits build up in the  
machine. These can occur when wash-  
ing is mainly done at low temperatures,  
and also lead to unpleasant smells. If  
you have no reason to wash laundry oc-  
casionally at this high temperature, then  
carry out a 95°C Cottons programme as  
a cleaning cycle with powder detergent  
and no washing, at regular intervals.  
^ Clean the facia panel and lid with a  
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.  
^ The drum can be cleaned using a  
suitable proprietary stainless steel  
cleaner.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners, glass  
cleaners or all-purpose cleaners.  
These might cause damage to the  
plastic surfaces because of the  
chemicals they contain.  
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.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter  
and pump  
Check the fluff (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 drain-  
ing 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.  
^ Open the door.  
With large volumes of water, when the  
dish is full, screw the fluff filter back into  
position, and empty the dish before re-  
peating the procedure.

Cleaning and care  
^ Clean the inside of the fluff filter hous-  
ing.  
Remove any deposits of lime scale and  
detergent or foreign objects from the  
thread of the filter housing and filter unit  
(as these objects can cause a leakage  
of water). Deposits of lime scale are of-  
ten a sign of underdosage of powder.  
^ Put the fluff filter back in place and  
secure.  
Make sure the fluff filter is securely  
tightened. Otherwise there is a risk  
of water leakage during use.  
^ Once the flow of water ceases, re-  
move the fluff filter completely.  
After cleaning  
^ Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the  
detergent dispenser compartment  
j to reactivate the ball valve which  
keeps detergent in circulation in the  
suds.  
^ Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.  
^ 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 ob-  
jects causing an obstruction should  
be removed.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the filter in the water  
inlet  
^ First turn off the stopcock.  
^ Unscrew the threaded union connect-  
ing the free end of the inlet hose to  
the stopcock.  
The washing machine has a filter to  
protect the water inlet valve.  
^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the  
recess.  
The accessible filter in the union in the  
open end of the inlet hose should be  
checked every six months, or more of-  
ten if there are frequent interruptions to  
the external water supply.  
^ 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-  
verse order and reconnect the hose.  
Turn on the stopcock and check the  
connection is watertight. If water drips  
out, tighten the connection.  
Never forget to put the filter back in  
place after cleaning it.

Installation  
Installation surface  
Installation  
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 surface with "soft"  
properties.  
Lift the machine from its packaging  
base and move it to its site. Please  
note:  
^ Do not lift the machine by the  
drum door.  
^ Ensure that the machine feet and the  
floor are dry to prevent the machine  
from slipping during the spin cycle.  
Please note the following points:  
^ The machine must be level and se-  
curely positioned.  
Removing the transit fitting  
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
^ If installing on a wooden joist floor, we  
recommend a plywood base at least  
30 mm thick, 590 x 520 mm wide.  
The base should span several joists  
and be bolted to the joists, not only to  
the floorboards. Check for the pres-  
ence of pipes and cables first.  
The most stable part of the floor is  
usually in the corner.  
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).  
1. Turn the left-hand transit bar 90°.

Installation  
2. Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°.  
4. Plug the two holes with the plastic  
caps supplied.  
,The washing machine must not  
be moved without the transit bars in  
place.  
Store the transit bars as shown or  
keep them in a safe place for future  
use. They must be re-fitted if the ma-  
chine is to be moved again  
(e.g.when moving house).  
Re-fitting the transit bars  
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the  
procedure.  
3. Withdraw the two bars together with  
the support plate.

Installation  
Levelling the machine  
The machine must stand perfectly level  
on all four feet to ensure safe and  
proper operation.  
^ With a screwdriver loosen and turn  
the foot 1 together with the  
counternut 2 to the left, (see illustra-  
tion below) and screw out.  
^ Put the machine back on all four feet.  
^ 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 the foot 1 firm using a pipe  
wrench and turn the counternut 2 to  
the right firmly up against the housing  
with a screwdriver.  
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.  
Screwing out and adjusting the feet  
^ Gently tip the machine and prop it up  
using a solid wood wedge for exam-  
ple, to ensure stability.  
,Make sure the machine does not  
slip as this could cause injury.

Installation  
Aligning the door  
To align the door add or remove the  
spacers located underneath the door  
latch.  
Additional spacers are supplied in the  
accessory pack.  
The door must align so that it is flush  
with the control panel. If the door is not  
flush with the control panel it will not  
shut properly.  
Please note:  
Example of a flush door:  
If you use too many spacers the door  
will not provide a sufficient seal when  
shut.  
Example of a door which is not flush:  
If this is the case remove one or more  
spacers until the door shuts correctly.  
After aligning the door test it to make  
sure that the seal is adequate.

Installation  
Connection to water supply  
Fitting  
The machine should be connected to a The Miele Waterproof-System con-  
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.  
nected between the stopcock and the  
machine offers the safest protection  
against water leaks.  
For the Waterproof system to function  
correctly, it may only be fitted in the po-  
sitions shown (see illustrations).  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a minimum water pressure of 1 bar.  
There is a minimum flow pressure of 1  
bar if 5 litres of water flow into a suit-  
able container in 15 seconds. 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.

Installation  
Protection in the event of a leaking  
machine.  
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.  
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.  
Protection in the event of a leaking  
water inlet hose  
The "Waterproof system" is NOT suit-  
able 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 turns off the water  
supply.  
Maintenance  
N.B. If you intend to unscrew the "Wa-  
terproof system" unit from the mains wa-  
ter supply it is essential that the ma-  
chine is first disconnected from the  
electricity supply.  
The protective sleeve of the hose must  
not be damaged (see illustration).  
The "Waterproof system" with a hose  
length of approx. 4.5 metres is available  
as an optional extra from your Miele  
dealer or the Spare Parts Department.  
Only use a genuine Miele "Waterproof  
system" able to withstand pressure of  
up to 70 bar, should you ever need a  
replacement.  
Function  
To protect the filters in the water inlet  
valves the dirt filter in the "Water-  
proof system" connection must not  
be removed.  
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 following  
cases:  
62  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Installation  
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 any liquid!

Installation  
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 se-  
cure.  
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.  
– 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.  
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.  
. Connected securely to a floor gully.  
4
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.  
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 or your  
Miele dealer.
