Economy tips  
Caring for the environment means sav-  
ing water, energy and detergent when  
washing. This machine is equipped  
with the Hydromatic System and the  
Ball Valve for economical use of re-  
sources. These systems offer a variety  
of technical innovations e.g. the drum  
ribs, which are designed to enable  
economical washing without compromi-  
sing on results.  
To help you wash most economically,  
remember the following tips:  
Always wash with the maximum  
laundry load specified for each pro-  
gramme. This uses the energy to the  
best advantage.  
Only use the correct amount of deter-  
gent required for the water hardness  
level in your area, as recommended  
by the manufacturer.  
The automatic load control facility en-  
ables loads of between 1 and 5 kg to  
be washed using only as much water  
and electricity as is required for an ef-  
fective wash.  
If laundry is not heavily stained, se-  
lect a lower temperature setting than  
indicated on the laundry care label  
(but when using a lower temperature  
do not select the “short”-option).  
Spinning at the high speed of  
Lightly soiled laundry can be  
washed using a “short”-programme  
(additional temperature reduction  
not recommended).  
1200 rpm reduces drying times and en-  
ergy consumption if laundry is dried in  
a tumble dryer after washing.

Before using for the first time  
Water hardness reminder.  
Important:  
The amount of detergent will depend  
on various factors including the water  
hardness level in your area. Set the  
water hardness dial located in the  
detergent dispenser box as a reminder.  
the appliance must be properly in-  
stalled and connected to the water  
and electricity supply according to  
local and national regulations.  
For further information read the instruc-  
tions on pages 31 - 37  
Check that the transit fitting at the  
rear has been removed.  
Before using for the first time prime

Use the spatula supplied with the  
machine. It is located at the rear of  
the dispenser drawer facia (see  
page 23).  
Switch the machine off.  
The ball valve is operational.  
Any residual lubricants and water  
from testing still in the machine  
should be flushed out as follows:  
If you do not know how hard the water  
is in your catchment area, please con-

Warning and Safety Instructions  
This appliance is designed and in-  
quickly enough to prevent the sink from  
overflowing.  
tended only for normal household use  
in the U.K. It should never be operated  
by children. Supervise its use by the el-  
derly or infirm.  
Keep these operating instructions  
in a safe place.  
Read the operating instructions through  
before using this machine for the first  
time, as this is for your safety and the  
protection of the machine. They give  
notes on the safety, the use and the  
maintenance of the machine.  
...when using your machine  
Only wash items which are de-  
clared by the manufacturer to be  
machine-washable on the care label  
(textile care G.B. laundry care, AUS),  
(see Care labels on page 10).  
Further warning and safety instructions  
are given in the text as appropriate.  
Descaling agents contain acid.  
Only use proprietary non-corrosive  
descaling agents and strictly observe  
the manufacturer’s instructions. After  
descaling, always run several full rinse  
cycles to remove any acid residue and  
to protect component parts from corro-  
sion.  
...before using for the first time  
Do not install your washing ma-  
chine in rooms where sub-zero  
temperatures may occur. Frozen hoses  
may burst under pressure.  
The reliability of the electronic control  
system may be impaired at tempera-  
tures below freezing point.  
Never use detergents containing  
solvents in this machine, as this  
may result in damage to component  
parts and create toxic fumes. Such  
detergents also pose a fire and explo-  
sion hazard.  
Before using the machine for the  
first time, check that the transit fit-  
ting at the rear of the machine has  
been removed (see page 31).  
During spinning, a transit fitting which  
is still in position may result in damage  
to both the machine and adjacent furni-  
ture or appliances.  
Textiles which have been pre-  
treated in detergents containing  
solvents must be thoroughly rinsed in  
clean water before being washed in  
this machine.  
If the drain hose is attached to a  
wash basin or sink, make sure it is  
secure, (see illustration in the sec-  
tion“Guide to the machine”),  
Do not use dye removers as these  
contain sulphur compounds which  
may damage washing machines.  
so that the force of the water flowing  
out of the hose does not dislodge it, as  
this will otherwise result in flooding.  
If hooking the hose into a wash basin,  
check that the water can drain off

Warning and Safety Instructions  
Dyes must be specified as suitable  
for use in washing machines. Al-  
ways observe the manufacturer’s in-  
structions.  
...in the event of faults  
Electrical appliances should only  
be repaired by suitably competent  
personnel. Incorrectly repaired ma-  
chines may pose a considerable risk to  
the user.  
If washing at very high tempera-  
tures remember that the porthole  
glass will be hot.  
Do not let children touch it during a  
wash programme.  
Disconnect the machine from the  
mains power supply by switching  
off at the wall socket, unplugging, or  
withdrawing the mains fuse.  
The machine should only be oper-  
ated unsupervised if there is a floor  
drain in the immediate vicinity.  
The best materials are used in the  
manufacture of this machine, and  
every care is taken to check all parts.  
However, with time, deterioration of  
parts can occur, especially with such  
components as hoses, giving rise to  
leaks. This should be borne in mind if  
operating the machine without supervi-  
sion. Check the hose regularly for signs  
of wear, and change in good time, to  
avoid leaks and subsequent damage.  
Always make sure the drum is sta-  
tionary before reaching in to  
remove washing. Reaching into a mov-  
ing drum is extremely dangerous.  
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,  
paper clips etc.) can cause dam-  
age to textiles and components in the  
machine. Take care to empty all  
pockets etc. so that these do not go  
into the machine.

Preparing the wash load  
Pre-treating the washing  
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 use detergents containing sol-  
vents in this machine.  
Loading the drum  
Unfold laundry and load loosely in the  
drum. To achieve best results it is advis-  
able to make up mixed loads consist-  
ing 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.  
Empty all pockets.  
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,  
paper clips etc.) can cause dam-  
age to textiles and components in  
the machine.  
It is advisable to weigh the load first to  
make best use of the machine’s capac-  
ity.  
Sort the laundry  
Most garments have a textile care label  
in the collar or side seam. Sort the  
laundry by care label symbols.  
Only wash items in this machine which  
are declared by the manufacturer as  
being machine washable on the textile  
care label.  
Dark textiles often contain“excess  
dye,” and should be washed separ-  
ately several times before being in-  
cluded in a mixed load.  
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-  
arately in a delicates programme.  
Only wash textiles made from wool or  
wool mixtures if they are declared as  
being suitable for machine washing on  
the textile care label.

Check the fluff filter initially after 3 - 4  
washes to ascertain how often it is  
likely to require cleaning.  
Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times.  
Do not take it right out.  
Approx. 2 litres of water will drain out  
of the hose.  
Take the flap opener from behind the  
detergent dispenser drawer.  
If the drain outlet is clogged, more  
water will be retained in the machine,  
(max. 25l). In this case, screw the fluff  
filter back into position and empty the  
dish before repeating the procedure as  
often as necessary.  
Caution: if laundry has been  
washed at a high temperature,  
water draining out of the machine  
will still be hot!  
Open the fluff filter flap.

Cleaning and Care  
The washing machine has two inlet filters to  
protect the inlet valve:  
the surface, or if it has been otherwise  
damaged.  
If replacing the inlet hose only use a  
hose able to withstand pressure up to  
70 bar. Miele’s own hoses meet this re-  
quirement.  
To clean the filter in the inlet hose:  
Close the stopcock.  
Carefully unscrew the knurled coup-  
ling connecting the inlet hose to the  
stopcock anti-clockwise, using pliers  
if necessary.  
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 from the re-  
cess.  
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the  
plastic filter bar and remove the filter.  
Clean under running water and care-  
fully remove any grit particles.  
Use water pump pliers to withdraw  
the plastic filter by the bar (see illus-  
tration). Clean and put back.  
The two filters - one in the pressure  
hose union and one in the inlet con-  
nection to the solenoid valve - must  
not be removed.  
Put the filter and seal back in the  
reverse order and reconnect the  
hose. Turn on the stopcock and  
check the connection is watertight.  
Inspect the inlet hose which is sub-  
jected to high pressure while the ma-  
chine is in operation. The hose should  
be replaced if there are small cracks in

The selected spin speed was too low.  
The machine was not able to distrib-  
ute the laundry load evenly. To pro-

Large items which tangle or roll up in  
the drum (e.g. bath mats) can cause  
an imbalance during the spin cycle.  
For safety reasons, the machine  
does not spin if this is the case. At-  
tempts to build up spin speed are re-  
peated, however, until the time allo-  
cated to spinning has expired.  
It is therefore important to make up  
mixed loads consisting of large and  
small items.  
The siphon tube is either incorrectly po-  
sitioned or clogged. Clean as de-

Grey greasy particles cling to  
washed laundry.  
Laundry washed with liquid deter-  
gent is not cleaned.  
The wash load was heavily soiled with  
greasy substances such as ointments  
or lotions, and the amount of detergent  
was insufficient to break down the par-  
ticles of grease.  
Liquid detergent does not contain any  
bleaching agents capable of removing  
stains, e.g. fruit, coffee and tea stains.  
To remove such stains, use a  
general-purpose washing powder  
which contains bleach or enzymes,  
or pre-treat laundry.  
In future, either add up to 50% more  
detergent to the main wash when  
washing loads of this nature or use  
liquid detergent in programmes up  
to 60°C.  
pour stain remover according to  
manufacturer’s instructions into com-  
partment j of the detergent dispen-  
ser and dispense the liquid deter-  
gent directly using a proprietary  
dispensing aid.  
Before washing the next load, run a  
Cottons 60°C programme with liquid  
detergent without a load to clean the  
machine.  
Never pour stain remover and liquid  
detergent into the same compartment.  
Brown stains appear on the laundry  
after washing.  
An excessively high manganese or iron  
content in the water supply can cause  
stains of this nature to appear on the  
laundry, in particular when low-phos-  
phate detergent is used.  
Have the quality of the water supply  
checked and take remedial action if  
necessary.  
After washing, knobbles (pilling) ap-  
pear on the fabric  
In normal everyday wear of certain fab-  
rics pilling may occur. The Gentle ac-  
tion function should be selected when  
washing these fabrics, or another pro-  
gramme with higher water levels and re-  
duced agitation to lessen the risk of fur-  
ther pilling.

Installation  
Ensure that the machine feet and the  
floor are dry to prevent the machine  
from slipping during the spin cycle.  
Installation surface  
Experience has shown that a concrete  
floor is the most suitable for a washing  
machine. Concrete floors are far less  
prone to vibration during the spin cycle  
than wooden floorboards.  
Removing the transit fitting.  
Please note the following points:  
The machine must be level and se-  
curely positioned.  
To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
If installation must be on a wooden  
joist floor: we recommend the use of  
a plywood base (at least  
59x52x3 cm). Ideally the base  
should be large enough to span sev-  
eral joists and should be bolted to  
the joists and not just the floor-  
boards. Check for presence of pipes  
and cables first.  
Using combination pliers, pull out  
the retaining clips on the right and  
left of the support plate.  
As a general rule, we recommend  
the installation of the machine (or  
washer/dryer stack) in the corner of  
a room where the stablity of the floor  
is at its greatest.  
If the machine is installed on a raised  
plinth, it must be secured against slip-  
page during spin using retaining clips  
(available from the Miele Spare Parts  
Dept).  
Using a pipe wrench turn the left-  
hand transit bar 90° anti-clockwise  
and the right-hand transit bar clock-  
wise.  
Installation  
Lift the machine from its packaging  
base and move it to its site. Please  
note:  
Do not lift the machine by the drum  
door.

Preparing the wash load  
Pre-treating the washing  
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 use detergents containing sol-  
vents in this machine.  
Loading the drum  
Unfold laundry and load loosely in the  
drum. To achieve best results it is advis-  
able to make up mixed loads consist-  
ing 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.  
Withdraw the two bars together with  
the support plate.  
Plug the two holes with the plastic  
caps supplied.  
Empty all pockets.  
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,  
paper clips etc.) can cause dam-  
age to textiles and components in  
the machine.  
The machine should not be moved with-  
out the transit fitting in place.  
The transit fitting should be stored  
in a safe place for future use. It  
must be re-fitted if the machine is to  
be moved again. Re-fitting is car-  
ried out by reversing the procedure.  
It is advisable to weigh the load first to  
make best use of the machine’s capac-  
ity.  
Sort the laundry  
Most garments have a textile care label  
in the collar or side seam. Sort the  
laundry by care label symbols.  
Only wash items in this machine which  
are declared by the manufacturer as  
being machine washable on the textile  
care label.  
Dark textiles often contain“excess  
dye,” and should be washed separ-  
ately several times before being in-  
cluded in a mixed load.  
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-  
arately in a delicates programme.  
Only wash textiles made from wool or  
wool mixtures if they are declared as  
being suitable for machine washing on  
the textile care label.

(see Care labels on page 10).  
WARNING  
All electrical work should be carried out  
by a competent person, in accordance  
with national and local safety  
regulations.  
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
EARTHED.  
Further warning and safety instructions  
are given in the text as appropriate.  
Descaling agents contain acid.  
Only use proprietary non-corrosive  
descaling agents and strictly observe  
the manufacturer’s instructions. After  
descaling, always run several full rinse  
cycles to remove any acid residue and  
to protect component parts from corro-  
sion.

fused plug and a suitable switched  
socket which is easily accessible.  
...before using for the first time  
Do not install your washing ma-  
chine in rooms where sub-zero  
temperatures may occur. Frozen hoses  
may burst under pressure.  
For extra safety it is advisable to install  
a residual current device (RCD) with a  
trip current of 30 mA.  
The reliability of the electronic control  
system may be impaired at tempera-  
tures below freezing point.  
The voltage, rated load and fuse rating  
are given on the data plate. Please en-  
sure that these match the household  
mains supply.  
Never use detergents containing  
solvents in this machine, as this  
may result in damage to component  
parts and create toxic fumes. Such  
detergents also pose a fire and explo-  
sion hazard.  
Before using the machine for the  
first time, check that the transit fit-  
ting at the rear of the machine has  
been removed (see page 31).  
During spinning, a transit fitting which  
is still in position may result in damage  
to both the machine and adjacent furni-  
ture or appliances.  
Important  
The wires in the mains lead are col-  
oured in accordance with the following  
code:  
Green/yellow = earth  
Blue = neutral  
Textiles which have been pre-  
treated in detergents containing  
solvents must be thoroughly rinsed in  
clean water before being washed in  
this machine.  
Brown = live  
If the drain hose is attached to a  
wash basin or sink, make sure it is  
secure, (see illustration in the sec-  
tion“Guide to the machine”),  
so that the force of the water flowing  
out of the hose does not dislodge it, as  
this will otherwise result in flooding.  
If hooking the hose into a wash basin,  
check that the water can drain off  
As the colours of the wires in the mains  
lead of this appliance may not corre-  
spond with the coloured markings ident-  
ifying the terminals in your plug, pro-  
ceed as follows:  
The wire which is coloured green and  
yellow must be connected to the termi-  
nal in the plug which is marked with the  
letter E or by the earth symbol z or  
coloured green or green and yellow.  
Do not use dye removers as these  
contain sulphur compounds which  
may damage washing machines.

cock with a short 3/4" thread, the extra  
washers enclosed should also be in-  
serted in the inlet hose union to com-  
pensate.  
Connection to water supply  
Caring for the environment  
Economy tips  
The machine should be connected to a  
mains water supply in accordance with  
standard regulations. The German auth-  
orities do not require it to have a non-re-  
turn valve as the washing machine has  
been designed to comply with DVGW  
regulations (German Association of  
Gas and Water Engineers, see data  
plate).  
Caring for the environment means sav-  
ing water, energy and detergent when  
washing. This machine is equipped  
with the Hydromatic System and the  
Ball Valve for economical use of re-  
sources. These systems offer a variety  
of technical innovations e.g. the drum  
ribs, which are designed to enable  
economical washing without compromi-  
sing on results.  
To help you wash most economically,  
remember the following tips:  
Always wash with the maximum  
laundry load specified for each pro-  
gramme. This uses the energy to the  
best advantage.  
The connection points are subject to  
mains water pressure. Turn on the stop-  
cock slowly and check for leaks. Cor-  
rect the positioning of the washers and  
screw unions if appropriate.  
Only use the correct amount of deter-  
gent required for the water hardness  
level in your area, as recommended  
by the manufacturer.  
Connection to a mains water supply  
should be carried out by a qualified  
plumber and should incorporate a  
mains stopcock with 3/4" thread  
If replacing the inlet hose only use a  
hose able to withstand pressure of up  
to 70 bar. This also applies to all fittings  
used. Miele original parts fulfil this con-  
dition.  
The automatic load control facility en-  
ables loads of between 1 and 5 kg to  
be washed using only as much water  
and electricity as is required for an ef-  
fective wash.  
If laundry is not heavily stained, se-  
lect a lower temperature setting than  
indicated on the laundry care label  
(but when using a lower temperature  
do not select the “short”-option).  
The 1.5 m long 3/8" pressure hose  
should be connected to the stopcock  
via the 3/4" threaded union.  
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are  
available as optional extras.  
Spinning at the high speed of  
Lightly soiled laundry can be  
washed using a “short”-programme  
(additional temperature reduction  
not recommended).  
1200 rpm reduces drying times and en-  
ergy consumption if laundry is dried in  
a tumble dryer after washing.  
The pressure hose and solenoid inlet  
valve are designed for a water flow-  
pressures of between 1 and 10 bar  
2
(981 kilonewtons/m ). At higher water  
pressures it is essential to fit a reducer  
valve.  
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 at the inlet  
point, one in the pressure hose  
union, must not be removed.  
This hose is not suitable for use for con-  
nection to a hot water supply. Please  
make sure that the washer sits correctly  
in the union.

Connection to drainage  
The drain hose may be connected as  
follows:  
The machine drains via a drain pump  
with a delivery head of one metre. The  
hose must not be kinked as this re-  
stricts drainage. The hooked piece at  
the end of the hose can be turned in  
either direction.  
Direct into a sink: Hook the hose  
over the edge and secure.  
Make sure that the water can flow  
away freely to avoid flooding and to  
prevent water from being sucked  
back into the machine.  
Hose dimensions:  
Connected to a plastic drain pipe  
with a rubber nipple. There is no  
need to use a non-return valve.
