Warning and safety instructions  
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 ap-  
pliance can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between  
the machine and an effective earthing  
system which complies with local and  
national regulations. It is most import-  
ant that this basic safety requirement is  
regularly tested by a qualified electri-  
cian.  
The manufacturer cannot be held re-  
sponsible for the consequences of an  
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-  
tric shock).  
Correct usage  
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 dan-  
gerous. The manufacturer is not liable  
for damage resulting from improper  
use or operation.  
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).  
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  
responsibility. Repairs should only be  
undertaken 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 ap-  
pliance while maintenance or repair  
work is being carried out.  
Technical safety  
The machine is only completely iso-  
lated from the electricity supply  
when:  
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and the plug is withdrawn, or  
Before connecting the machine,  
ensure that the connection data on  
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-  
quency) match the mains electricity  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Before using the machine for the  
first time, check that the transit fit-  
ting at the rear of the machine has  
been removed (see section on "Installa-  
tion"). During spinning, a transit fitting  
which is still in place may result in dam-  
age to both the machine and adjacent  
furniture or appliances.  
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. Check the hose regularly for  
signs of wear, and change in good  
time, to avoid leaks and subsequent  
damage.  
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 vi-  
cinity.  
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.  
Flooding danger.  
If hooking the drain hose into a  
wash basin, check that the water can  
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  
Do not install your washing ma-  
chine in rooms where tempera-  
tures 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.  
Take care to ensure that foreign  
objects (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.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infesta-  
tion by cockroaches or other vermin,  
pay particular attention to keeping the  
appliance and its surroundings in a  
clean condition at all times. Any dam-  
age which may be caused by cock-  
roaches or other vermin will not be  
covered by the appliance guarantee.

tee, performance and product liability  
claims may be invalidated.  
Disposal of your old 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 ha-  
zard.  
Before discarding an old machine  
unplug it. Render the plug useless.  
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap-  
pliance to prevent misuse.  
Only use dyes specified by the  
manufacturer as being suitable for  
use in a washing machine. Always ob-  
serve the manufacturer’s instructions  
carefully.  
Dye removers may contain sulphur  
compounds which cause damage  
such as corrosion. Do not use dye  
removers in this 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.

Washing environmentally and economically  
Washing environmentally and economically  
– Water consumption and energy  
usage are determined by the size of  
the load. Load to the maximum rec-  
ommended for the programme se-  
lected.  
– Use the "Short" wash option for nor-  
mally or very lightly soiled laundry.  
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-  
gent which may be recommended  
by the manufacturer on the packa-  
ging.  
– The washing times can vary con-  
siderably due to the automatic load  
adjustment 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 pro-  
gramme for smaller amounts of  
laundry.  
– To save energy wash normally and  
lightly soiled laundry at lower tem-  
peratures. The 95°C Cottons pro-  
gramme 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”  
you can select 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  
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  
securely tightened. Otherwise there  
is a risk of water leakage during use.  
For safety reasons spinning is not  
possible until the machine has been  
prepared for using for the first time. To  
activate the spinning function you must  
run a wash programme without any  
laundry).  
This also activates the ball valve. The  
ball valve prevents detergent escaping  
from the suds container into the sump  
during a wash programme, thus mak-  
ing maximum use of the detergent.  
The wash programme must be run with-  
out detergent.  
Using detergent could result in an ex-  
cessive build-up of foam.  
Turn on the stopcock.  
Press the "I-ON/0-OFF" button in.  
Turn the programme selector to  
"COTTONS 40°C".  
Press the "START" button.  
When this programme has finished  
your washing machine is ready for  
using for the first time.

How to wash correctly  
How to wash correctly  
Brief guide  
The headings numbered (1,2,3,...)  
show the operating sequence and can  
be used as a brief guide.  
Dark textiles often contain excess dye  
and should be washed separately sev-  
eral times before being included in a  
mixed load.  
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-  
arately in a delicates programme (use  
a washing bag where appropriate).  
Before washing  
1Prepare the wash load.  
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.  
– Curtains:  
Remove lead weights and strips or  
place in a laundry bag.  
Empty all pockets.  
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.  
– Knitted garments, trousers and  
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts:  
Turn inside out, if recommended by  
the manufacturer.  
Sort the laundry  
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).

It is important to dispense the

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 eat 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.  
Add detergent according to the  
amount recommended on the packa-  
ging. The right amount to dispense will  
depend on the following:  
– Greasy particles cling to the laundry.  
– Lime deposits on the heater ele-  
ments.  
– The quantity of laundry.  
. . . too much results in the following:  
– The soiling level of the laundry.  
– Excessive foam.  
Lightly soiled  
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly  
slight body odour.  
– Low level of agitation.  
– 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).

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, tex-  
turisers, liquid starch  
Fabric conditioners make garments  
soft and fluffy to handle and help pre-  
vent static cling when tumble drying.  
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”.  
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.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the washing machine Extra cleaning  
Clean the casing with a mild non-ab-  
rasive 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 pro-  
gramme as a cleaning cycle with pow-  
der detergent and no washing, at regu-  
lar intervals.  
Clean the facia panel and flap 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.

Cleaning and care  
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  
water 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.  
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.  
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  
often 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,  
remove 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  
Turn on the stopcock and check the  
connection is watertight.  
To clean the water inlet filters  
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 sup-  
ply.  
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.  
To clean the filter in the union in the  
open end of the inlet hose:  
First turn off the stopcock.  
Unscrew the threaded union con-  
necting 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 from the re-  
cess.  
Using pointed pliers, take hold  
of the plastic filter bar, remove the fil-  
ter and clean.  
Use water pump pliers to withdraw  
the plastic filter by the bar (see illus-  
tration). Clean, put back and secure.  
Put the filter and seal back in the  
reverse order and reconnect the  
hose.  
The two filters must be put back in  
place after cleaning.

Installation  
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  
presence 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).  
Turn the left-hand transit bar 90°.

Installation  
Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°.  
Plug the two holes with the plastic  
caps supplied.  
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.  
Withdraw the two bars together with  
the support plate.

Levelling the machine  
The machine must stand perfectly level  
on all four feet to ensure safe and  
proper operation.  
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 hous-  
ing with a screwdriver.  
The four adjustable screw feet are  
used to level the machine. All four feet  
are screwed in when the machine is de-  
livered.  
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  
example, to ensure stability.  
Make sure the machine does not  
slip as this could cause injury.

Installation  
Washer and Dryer stack  
Building under  
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked  
with the washing machine. A stacking  
kit* is necessary and can be pur-  
chased from the Miele Spare Parts De-  
partment.  
To build this appliance under a con-  
tinuous worktop / in a kitchen run:  
A special building under conversion  
kit* is required. The machine lid must  
be replaced by a cover plate. To en-  
sure electrical safety the cover plate  
must be fitted. **  
All parts marked* are available from the  
Miele Spare Parts or Sales Department,  
and must be fitted by a suitably compe-  
tent person according to the instruc-  
tions supplied with the kit.  
Fitting instructions are supplied with  
the conversion kit.  
N.B.**  
If you wish to push your machine under  
a worktop and there is space to do this  
without removing the lid, the conver-  
sion 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 required.  
Connections for electricity, water  
and drainage should be installed in  
such a way that they remain ac-  
cessible when the machine is in  
place.

Installation  
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4 metres in length  
are available as optional extras.  
Connection to water supply  
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 essen-  
tial 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.  
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 two dirt filters - one in the open  
end of the inlet hose, one at the inlet  
point in the solenoid valve must not be  
removed.  
The approx. 1.5 m long 3/8" pressure  
hose should be connected to the stop-  
cock via the 3/4" threaded union.  
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 orig-  
inal parts fulfil this condition.

Installation  
Drain hose connection:  
Connection to the drainage  
system  
The machine drains via a drain pump  
with a delivery head of 1 metre.  
Direct into a sink: Hook the hose  
over the edge and secure. Make  
sure that the water can flow freely to  
avoid flooding and to prevent water  
from being sucked back into the ma-  
chine.  
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.  
Connected to a floor gully.  
Connected to a standpipe.  
Connected to a plastic drain pipe  
with a rubber nipple. There is no  
need to use a non-return valve.  
If required, the drain hose can be ex-  
tended to a length of 5 m. The necess-  
ary 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.

Installation  
Where it is necessary to change plugs,  
if the colours of the wires in the mains  
lead of this appliance do not corre-  
spond with the coloured markings  
identifying the terminals of your plug,  
proceed as follows:  
Electrical connection U.K.  
All electrical work should be carried out  
only by a suitably qualified and compe-  
tent person, in strict accordance with  
national and local safety regulations.  
The appliance is supplied with a mains  
cable with moulded plug for connection  
to a 230-240V mains supply. The volt-  
age, rated load and fuse rating are  
given on the data plate. Please ensure  
these match the household mains sup-  
ply.  
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 col-  
oured green, or green and yellow.  
The wire which is coloured blue must  
be connected to the terminal in the  
plug which is marked with the letter N  
or coloured black.  
The wire which is coloured brown must  
be connected to the terminal in the  
plug which is marked with the letter L  
or coloured red.  
Connection should be made via a  
fused plug and suitable switched  
socket which is easily accessible after  
installation. For extra safety it is advis-  
able to install a residual current device  
(RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA. Do  
not connect via an extension lead.  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE  
MUST BE EARTHED  
Important

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363  
If this machine is fitted with a non-re-  
wireable plug, the following information  
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 disposed 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 ob-  
tained. The colour of the correct re-  
placement cover is that of the coloured  
insert in the base of the plug, or the col-  
our that is embossed 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.
