Warning and safety instructions  
The electrical safety of this  
To avoid the risk of accidents and  
machine 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 important  
that this basic safety requirement is  
present and regularly tested and where  
there is any doubt the household wiring  
system should be inspected by a  
qualified electrician.  
damage to the machine please read  
these instructions carefully before  
using it for the first time. They  
contain important information on its  
safety, use and maintenance.  
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 manufacturer cannot be held liable  
for the consequences of an inadequate  
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).  
Correct usage  
Do not connect the machine to the  
mains electricity supply by an  
extension lead. Extension leads do not  
guarantee the required safety of the  
machine (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  
garments.  
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  
unforeseen dangers for the user, for  
which the manufacturer cannot accept  
liability. Repairs should only be  
undertaken by a Miele approved  
technician.  
Technical safety  
Ensure current is not supplied to the  
appliance until after maintenance or  
repair work has been carried out.  
Before setting up the machine,  
check it for any externally visible  
damage. Do not install and use a  
damaged machine.  
The machine is only completely  
isolated from the electricity supply  
when:  
Before connecting the machine,  
ensure that the connection data on  
the data plate (voltage and connected  
load) match the mains electricity  
supply. If in any doubt, consult a  
qualified electrician.

Warning and safety instructions  
The Miele "Water protection  
system" protects from water  
damage provided the following  
conditions have been met:  
Do not install your washing  
machine in rooms where  
temperatures below freezing may  
occur. Frozen hoses may burst under  
pressure. The reliability of the electronic  
control unit may be impaired at  
temperatures below freezing point.  
– the machine is correctly plumbed in  
and connected to the electricity  
supply.  
Before using the machine for the  
first time, check that the transit  
fitting at the rear of the machine has  
been removed (see section on  
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit  
fitting which is still in place may result in  
damage to both the machine and  
adjacent furniture or appliances.  
– if a fault has been identified, the  
machine must be examined by a  
competent person before further use,  
and repaired if necessary.  
Faulty components must only be  
replaced by genuine Miele original  
spare parts. Only when these parts are  
fitted can the safety standards of the  
machine be guaranteed.  
Turn off the stopcock if the  
machine 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 faulty it  
must only be replaced by a Miele  
approved service technician to protect  
the user from danger.  
Flooding danger  
In countries where there are areas  
If hooking the drain hose into a  
which may be subject to infestation wash basin, check that the water can

particular attention to keeping the  
machine and its surroundings in a  
clean condition at all times. Any  
damage which may be caused by

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.

covered by the machine guarantee.  
Take care to ensure that foreign  
objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,  
paper clips) do not find their way into  
Use  
the machine with the laundry. These  
may damage components of the  
machine (e.g. suds container, drum),  
which in turn can result in damage to  
the laundry.  
This equipment may only be used  
in mobile installations such as  
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk  
assessment of the installation has been  
carried out by a suitably qualified  
engineer.

Warning and safety instructions  
If the correct amount of detergent  
is dispensed, the machine should  
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.  
Safety with children  
This machine is not a toy! To avoid  
the risk of injury do not allow  
children to play on or near it or to play  
with the controls. Supervise its use by  
the elderly or infirm, and supervise  
children whilst you are operating 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.  
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  
detergents also pose a fire and  
explosion hazard.  
Accessories  
Accessory parts may only be fitted  
when expressly approved by Miele.  
If other parts are used, guarantee,  
performance and product liability  
claims will be invalidated.  
Only use dyes specified by the  
manufacturer as being suitable for  
use in a domestic washing machine.  
Always observe the manufacturer's  
instructions carefully.  
Disposal of your old machine  
Before discarding an old machine,  
switch it off at the wall socket and  
unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut  
off the cable directly behind the  
appliance to prevent misuse. This  
should be done by a competent  
person.  
Colour run and dye removers  
contain sulphur compounds which  
can cause damage such as corrosion.  
Do not use these products in this  
machine.  
The manufacturer cannot be held  
liable for damage caused by  
non-compliance with these Warning  
and Safety instructions.  
Always make sure the drum is  
stationary before reaching in to  
remove washing. Reaching into a  
moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Before using for the first time  
Before using the machine for the first  
time ensure that it is correctly  
installed and connected. See  
"Installation and connection". Also  
check that the fluff filter is securely  
tightened to prevent the risk of water  
leaks 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 laundry  
and without detergent.  
Using detergent could result in an  
excessive build-up of foam.  
This also activates the ball valve. The  
ball valve prevents detergent escaping  
from the suds container into the sump  
during a wash programme, thus making  
maximum use of the detergent.

^ Press the I-On/0-Off button in.

^ Press the Start/Stop button.  
When this programme has finished,  
your machine is ready for using for the  
first time.

To make the most out of your  
machine load the maximum dry load  
for the programme you are using.  
– Reduce the amount of detergent with  
smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than  
the amount recommended can be  
used when washing a half load).  
– Use the Automatic or the Quick wash  
programmes for small loads.  
Choosing the correct Extra option:  
Soak, Pre-wash, Intensive  
– If smaller loads are washed using the  
Cottons programmes, the automatic  
load recognition system will reduce  
the amount of water, time and energy  
used. This may mean that the  
programme duration is adjusted  
during the course of the wash  
programme.  
Select:  
a wash programme without any  
Extras for light to normal soiling  
where there are no obvious marks.  
a wash programme with the Intensive  
Extra for normal to heavily soiled  
laundry with visible staining.  
– Instead of using Cottons 95°C, use  
Cottons 60°C and select the  
Intensive Extra. This will give an  
energy saving of between 35% and  
45%. The programme duration will  
be longer. This combination is  
sufficient for most levels of soiling.  
For stubborn or old stains, use the  
Soak Extra option.  
– Use the Soak Extra instead of  
Pre-wash. If Soak is followed immedi-  
ately by a main wash the same suds  
are used.  
When drying with a tumble dryer  
– Selecting the highest possible spin  
speed for the wash programme will  
save energy when drying in a tumble  
dryer afterwards.

Brief instructions  
^ Sort the laundry by colour and by  
care label. Most garments have a  
textile care label in the collar or side  
seam.  
The headings numbered A, B, C, . . .  
show the operating sequence and can  
be used as brief instructions.  
Dark textiles often contain excess dye  
and should be washed separately  
several times before being included in  
a mixed load. Always wash whites and  
coloureds separately.  
ASort the laundry  
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first  
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.  
– Knitted garments, trousers and  
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn  
inside out, if recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
^ Empty all pockets.  
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and  
eyes etc before washing.

coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause  
damage to garments and

components in the machine.  
^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should  
be removed as soon as possible,  
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages  
should be carefully dabbed off using  
a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!  
Do not wash any items in this machine  
which are specified by the  
manufacturer as not washable on the  
care label. (h symbol)  
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated  
with liquid detergent, stain removers  
etc. first, following the manufacturer's  
instructions. With particularly stubborn  
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

FSelect Delay Start if using  
HRemove the laundry  
Delay start allows you to delay the start  
of a programme from 30 minutes up to  
a maximum of 24 hours, allowing you to  
make use of night-time economy  
electricity rates, for example.  
The Anti-crease/Finish indicator lamp  
will flash at the end of the programme.  
^ Press the Door button to open the  
drum door.  
^ Remove the laundry.  
^ Press the Delay start button. Each  
press on the button increases the  
delayed time:  
Make sure that the drum is empty.  
Items left in the drum could  
discolour other items in the next  
wash or become discoloured  
themselves.  
– by 30 minutes up to 10 hours,  
– by 1 hour from 10 hours upwards.  
To cancel Delay start  
^ Press the Delay start button once  
when 24 ^ is showing in the display.  
To cancel Delay Start after you have

^ You will have to cancel the  
programme. See relevant section  
later in this booklet.  
GStart the programme  
^ Press the flashing Start/Stop button.  
The approximate programme duration  
will then show in the display. This will  
count down in one minute steps. During  
the first 10 minutes the washing  
machine measures how much water is  
being absorbed by the laundry. The  
programme duration may be longer or  
shorter depending on this absorbency  
rate.  
^ Check the folds in the door seal for  
any small articles, e.g. buttons which  
might be lodged there.  
^ Switch the washing machine off with  
the I-On/0-Off button.  
^ Close the drum door. Otherwise there  
is the danger of objects being placed  
inadvertently in the drum. If these  
remained unnoticed and were  
washed in the next load, they could  
damage the laundry.

Programme sequence  
This washing machine has fully  
electronic controls with automatic load  
recognition. It takes in the right amount  
of water required for the programme  
depending on the amount of laundry  
and its absorbency rate. This means  
that programme cycles and durations  
can vary.  
Special features in the programme  
sequences:  
Anti-crease:  
At the end of every programme, with  
the exception of Woollens, the drum  
continues to turn at intervals for up to  
30 minutes to help prevent creasing.  
The door can be opened and laundry  
removed at any time during the  
anti-crease phase.  
The programme sequences outlined  
below are based on the basic  
programme with a full load. Extras  
which can be selected have not been  
taken into account.  
1)  
A third rinse is carried out if:  
– there is too much foam in the drum  
The programme sequence display  
shows the stage the programme has  
reached.  
– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has  
been selected.  
Without spin has been selected  
2)  
Rinse and interim spin:  
There is a spin between the rinses.  
3)  
A third rinse is carried out if:  
Without spin has been selected

Detergent  
All modern detergents produced for  
automatic washing machines are  
suitable, including liquid, compact  
(concentrated), tablets, liquid tablets  
and special application detergents.  
Use dispensing 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 for  
smaller loads. Some tablets do not  
dissolve as rapidly as others and may  
not be suitable for Quick wash  
The right amount to dispense will  
depend on the following:  
– The quantity of laundry.  
– The soiling level of the laundry.  
Lightly soiled  
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly  
slight body odour.  
Normally soiled  
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight  
stains.  
Heavily soiled  
Stains and soiling clearly visible.  
– The water hardness level.  
Check with your local water supplier  
if you do not know the water  
hardness level in your area.  
programmes.  
Woollens and knitwear containing wool  
mixtures and hand-washable garments  
should be washed using a detergent  
specifically designed for washing  
woollens.  
Water softeners  
Silk should be washed using a liquid  
detergent specifically designed for  
washing woollens. Do not use  
biological detergents on silk as the  
enzymes may damage the silk!  
A water softener can be used to cut  
down on the use of detergents 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  
softener.  
Instructions for use and recommended  
amounts for a full load are given on the  
detergent packaging.  
Liquid detergent  
Liquid detergent should be dispensed  
using a ball provided by the manufac-  
turer for programmes without a  
pre-wash.  
Washing with several  
components  
If you wash using several components  
(e.g. special application detergents),  
dispense them into compartment j in  
the following order:  
For programmes with a pre-wash you  
will need to purchase a special con-  
tainer from the Miele Spare Parts de-  
partment which sits in the main wash  
compartment j of the detergent dis-  
penser drawer. Add liquid detergent to  
this container for the main wash and to  
compartment i for the pre-wash.  
1. Detergent  
2. Water softener  
3. Stain remover  
This way the agents are distributed  
more efficiently.

Fabric conditioners and liquid  
starch  
If starching frequently, clean the dis-  
penser compartment and especially  
the siphon tube and conditioner  
channel. See "Cleaning the deter-  
gent dispenser drawer". Do not add  
startch formulations or viscous liquid  
starch to the § compartment as it  
will clog it up. See "Adding starch  
separately".  
Fabric conditioners make garments soft  
and fluffy to handle and help prevent  
static cling when tumble drying.  
Starch stiffens and gives body to items  
of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and  
bed linen.

Cleaning and care  
Extra cleaning  
,Disconnect the machine from the  
mains electricity supply and  
withdraw the plug from the socket  
prior to cleaning the machine.  
Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)  
with powder detergent approx. every 6  
weeks to help prevent deposits building  
up in the machine. These can occur  
when washing is mainly done at low  
temperatures, and also lead to  
unpleasant smells. If you have no  
reason to wash occasionally at this high  
temperature, then run a Cottons 95°C  
programme with detergent but no  
laundry at regular intervals.  
^ Clean the casing with a mild  
non-abrasive detergent or soap and  
water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.  
^ Clean the fascia panel with a damp  
cloth and wipe dry with a soft cloth.  
^ The drum can be cleaned using a  
suitable proprietary stainless-steel  
cleaning agent following the  
manufacturer's instructions on the  
packaging.  
,Do not use solvents, abrasive  
cleaners, glass cleaners or  
all-purpose cleaning agents. These  
might damage plastic surfaces and  
other components because of the  
chemicals they contain.  
The washing machine must not be  
hosed down.  
E-Cloth  
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from  
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,  
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces  
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic  
and chrome without the use of  
chemicals. It can be washed 300 times.

Installation and connection  
Installation surface  
Installing the washing machine  
A concrete floor is the most suitable  
installation surface for a washing  
machine, being far less prone to  
vibration during the spin cycle than  
wooden floorboards or a carpeted  
surface.  
To manoeuvre the machine out of its  
packing case to its installation site hold  
it by the edge of the lid where it  
protrudes to the rear of the washing  
machine as well as by the handle  
recesses at the front.  
Please note the following points:  
Please note:  
^ The machine must be level and  
securely positioned.  
^ Do not lift the machine by the drum  
door.  
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
,Ensure that the machine feet and  
the floor are dry to prevent the  
machine from slipping during the  
spin cycle.  
If installing on a wooden joist floor:  
^ We recommend a plywood base  
(at least 59x52x3 cm). The base  
should span several joists and be  
bolted to the joists and not only to the  
floorboards. Check for the presence  
of pipes and cables.  
Removing the transit fittings  
If possible, install the machine in a  
corner, as this is usually the most stable  
part of the floor.  
,If the machine is installed on a  
raised plinth, it has to be secured  
against slippage during spinning  
using retaining clips (available from  
the Miele Spare Parts Dept).  
^ To remove the left and right covers  
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the  
cover as illustrated.  
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

Installation and connection  
Levelling the machine  
The machine must stand perfectly level  
on all four feet to ensure safe and  
proper operation.  
^ Using the spanner supplied turn  
counter nut 2 in a clockwise  
direction. Then turn counter nut 2  
together with foot 1 to unscrew.  
^ Use a spirit level to check the  
machine is standing level.  
Incorrect installation may increase  
electricity and water consumption and  
may cause the machine to move about.  
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe  
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again  
using the spanner supplied until it  
sits firmly up against the housing.  
Screwing out and adjusting the feet  
The four adjustable screw feet are used  
to level the machine. All four feet are  
screwed in when the machine is  
delivered.  
,All four counternuts must be  
firmly up against the housing. Please  
also check this for the feet which did  
not need adjustment. Otherwise  
there is the danger of the machine  
moving about.

Installation and connection  
The Miele Waterproof system  
2) Electronic unit and washing  
machine housing  
The Miele Waterproof system protects  
the washing machine from water  
damage.  
– Sump  
Any leaking water is collected in a  
sump in the base of the machine. A  
float switches off the safety valves,  
preventing any more water from  
flowing into the machine and water in  
the suds container is pumped away.  
The system consists of three main  
components:  
1) the inlet hose  
2) the electronic unit and the washing  
machine housing  
– Overflow protection  
3) the drain hose  
This prevents the washing machine  
taking in too much water. If the water  
level exceeds a certain level, the  
drain pump switches in and pumps  
the excess water away.  
1) Inlet hose  
– The inlet hose is fitted with an  
additional electrical safety valve  
which works like an automatic  
stopcock and is housed in the inlet  
hose connection box.  
3) Drain hose  
The drain hose is protected by a  
ventilation system which prevents the  
washing machine from being  
emptied completely.  
– It is pressure tested to between  
7,000 and 10,000 kPa.  
– The inlet hose has a protective  
sleeve.  
Any leaking water from the inlet hose  
is fed into the sump through this  
protective sleeve. A float switches off  
the safety valve, preventing any more  
water from flowing into the machine  
and water in the suds container is  
pumped away.  
49

Installation and connection  
Connection to the water supply The machine should be connected to a  
mains water supply in accordance with  
local and national safety regulations.  
The German authorities do not require it  
to have a non-return valve as the  
washing machine has been designed  
to comply with DIN regulations.  
,The plastic casing of the safety  
valve contains electrical  
components. The Waterproof system  
must only be connected to its own  
stopcock. It must not be connected  
to mixer taps or similar and must not  
be fitted in areas where there is the  
risk of water or other liquids  
reaching it.  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a flow pressure of between 100  
and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than  
1,000 kPa 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 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.  
Do not get wet.  
The washing machine is not suitable  
for connection to a hot water supply  
and connection to a household  
water softener is not recommended.  
The protective sleeve of the hose  
must not be damaged or kinked.

Installation and connection  
Maintenance and care  
If you intend to unscrew the Miele  
Waterproof system hose from the  
stopcock it is essential to disconnect  
the machine from the electricity supply  
first.  
Only use a Miele Waterproof system  
hose should you need a replacement.  
In order to protect the water inlet  
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet  
valve connection must not be  
removed.  
Extension hose  
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose  
is available from your Miele dealer or  
the Miele Spare Parts Department as an  
optional extra.  
This hose is tested to withstand  
pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can  
be used as a flexible extension to the  
water supply.  
N.B. Using this hose renders the  
Waterproof system safety valve on the  
inlet hose ineffective.

Installation and connection  
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  
secure.  
The drain hose must not be kinked as  
this restricts drainage. The swivel elbow  
at the end of the hose can be turned in  
either direction, or can be detached if  
required, with a sharp twist and pull.  
– Make sure that the water can drain  
away freely without hindrance.  
Otherwise there is a risk of water  
overflowing or of some of the drained  
water being sucked back into the  
machine.  
If required, the drain hose can be  
extended to a length of 5 m. The  
necessary parts can be purchased  
from the Miele Spare Parts Department  
or your Miele dealer.  
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain  
pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no  
need to use a non-return valve.  
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m  
(up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a second  
duo-drain pump is available with the  
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare  
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.  
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.  
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
