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and the plug is withdrawn, or  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– the mains fuse is withdrawn.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.  
Faulty components must only be  
exchanged for Miele original spare  
parts. Only when these parts are fitted  
can the safety standards of the ma-  
chine 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.

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.  
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 sys-  
tem 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.  
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.  
Textiles which have been  
pre-treated in solvent based clean-  
ing agents must be thoroughly rinsed in  
clean water before being washed in the  
machine.  
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.  
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.  
Due to their chemical composition,  
dyes and colour run and dye re-  
movers can cause corrosion. Do not  
use these products in the machine.  
For machines with a ‘porthole’  
door, remember that the porthole  
glass will be hot when washing at very  
high temperatures. Do not let children  
touch it.

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.  
^ Remove the yellow spatula from in-  
side the dispenser drawer.  
^ Press the I-ON/0-OFF button in.  
^ Turn the programme selector to COT-  
TONS 60°C.  
Important!  
This programme must be selected in or-  
der to prepare the machine for spinning  
and to activate the ball valve.  
^ Press the Water plus button in. The  
indicator light next to it will come on.  
^ Press the "Spin" button repeatedly un-  
til the Without final spin indicator light  
comes on.  
^ Press the START button.  
^ Adjust the dial to the appropriate set-  
ting (1 = soft, 4 = very hard).

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. Always wash whites and  
coloureds separately.  
The headings numbered (A,B,C,...)  
show the operating sequence and can  
be used as a brief guide.  
Before washing  
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-  
arately in a delicates programme (use a  
washing bag where appropriate).  
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.  
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,  
paper clips, etc.) can cause dam-  
age to textiles and components in  
the machine.  
– Curtains:  
Remove lead weights and strips or  
place in a laundry bag.  
– 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.

Adding 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.

cal detergents on silk as the enzymes  
may damage the silk!  
– Greasy particles cling to the laundry.  
– Limescale deposits on the heater el-  
ements.  
Add detergent according to the amount  
recommended on the packaging. The  
right amount to dispense will depend  
on the following:  
. . . too much results in the following:  
– Excessive foam.  
– Low level of agitation.

Adding detergent  
Adding detergent  
Water softeners  
A water softener such as Calgon can  
be used to cut down on the use of de-  
tergents in extremely hard water areas.  
Dispense according 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.  
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:  
i = Compartment soak/pre-wash.  
This compartment is also used  
for starch formulations when  
starching separately.  
1. Detergent  
j = Compartment main wash  
2. Water softener  
3. Stain remover  
p = Compartment fabric conditioner  
Water is taken in through compartment  
i in the pre-wash.  
This way the agents are distributed  
more efficiently.  
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,  
texturisers, liquid starch  
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, and MIXED WASH, the spin speed is automatically limited  
to the above stated maximum spin speed.  
Anti-crease, 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.

Additional options  
Water plus  
Spin  
The water level increases in soak,  
pre-wash, main wash and / or rinses,  
and / or an extra rinse can be carried  
out.  
A final spin is carried out at the end  
of each of the basic programmes, if a  
spin speed had been selected.  
Without final spin  
You can choose between four options  
for the Water plus button.  
Interim rinse and spin is carried out in  
the relevant programmes.  
The options can be called up through  
one of the programmable functions,  
(see Water plus system in the Section  
on programmable functions).  
Washing is not spun after the final rinse,  
but the water is drained away, and the  
machine goes straight into the  
anti-crease stage.  
Switching off the additional options  
Rinse hold  
If an additional option is switched on  
(and the indicator light in the button is  
lit up), the option can be switched off  
by pressing the button. The indicator  
light goes out.  
Interim rinse and spin is carried out  
during the programme cycle.  
The washing remains suspended in wa-  
ter after the final rinse.  
This helps to reduce the possibility of  
creasing if the washing is left for some  
time before being taken out of the ma-  
chine.  
To continue the programme:  
Select the required spin speed with the  
Spin button.  
The maximum spin speed is automati-  
cally limited according to the basic  
wash programme chosen, (See  
Programme Survey section).

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the washing machine Extra cleaning  
^ Clean the casing with a mild  
non-abrasive detergent or soap and  
water. 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 deter-  
gent and no washing, at regular inter-  
vals.  
^ 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.  
^ Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times.  
Do not take it right out.  
Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from  
behind the detergent drawer facia  
panel, (see illustration above).  
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.

move the fluff filter completely.  
^ Clean the inside of the fluff filter hous-  
ing.  
^ Clean the fluff filter thoroughly.  
Remove any deposits of limescale and

Cleaning and care  
To clean the water inlet filters  
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 surface, or if it has been otherwise  
damaged.  
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.  
The washing machine has two filters to  
protect the inlet valves.These filters  
should be checked every 6 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.  
To clean the filter in the water inlet  
valve:  
^ Unscrew the threaded union connect-  
ing the free end of the inlet hose to  
the stopcock.  
^ Using pliers, carefully loosen the  
ribbed plastic nut on the inlet valve,  
and unscrew.  
^ Remove the rubber seal from the re-  
cess.  
^ 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, remove the fil-  
ter and clean.  
The two filters must be put back in  
place after cleaning.  
^ 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.

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).

Store the transit bars 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).

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 wooden wedge for ex-  
ample, to ensure stability.  
Make sure the machine does not slip  
as this could cause injury.

safety . However, if you wish to push  
your machine under a worktop and  
there is space to do this without re-  
moving the lid, the conversion kit is not  
necessary. Otherwise the conversion kit  
is essential.  
^ For installation under a work surface  
900/910 mm from the floor, a raising  
kit* is also required.  
^ To ensure electrical safety the con-  
version kit and raising kit must be fit-  
ted by a suitably qualified installer.  
^ Connections for electricity, water and  
drainage should be installed in such  
a way that they remain accessible  
when the machine is in place.

Installation  
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 a  
hose able to withstand pressure of at  
least 70 bar. This also applies to all  
fixtures and fittings used. Miele origi-  
nal parts fulfil this condition.

Installation  
Connection to the drainage  
system  
Drain hose connection:  
1. Direct into a sink or basin:  
The machine drains via a drain pump  
with a delivery head of 1 metre.  
Please note the following  
– 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.  
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.  
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
