Caring for our environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your machine.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Energy and water consumption
Detergent
– Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
– Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
To make the most out of your
machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are Choosing the correct Extra option
washed, the automatic load
recognition system will reduce the
amount of water, time and energy
used. This may mean that the time
left shown in the display is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Short extra option for light soiling
where there are no obvious marks.
– A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– Use the Express 20 programme for
small loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g
20°C). Washing using lower
temperature settings will save
energy.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak extra option for heavily soiled
laundry.
– The Pre-wash extra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,
sand).
– To maintain the hygiene of the
washing machine carry out a hot
wash (60°C or above) using powder
detergent at regular intervals. The
Hygiene info message will appear in
the display to remind you to carry out
a hot wash.
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.

1. Prepare the laundry
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated
with liquid detergent, stain removers
etc. first, following the manufacturer's
instructions.
,If you use a solvent-based
cleaning agent (e.g. one containing
benzene) to pre-treat a stain, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g.
buttons) are protected, and that the
cleaning agent is rinsed off before
washing the garment in the
machine.
^ Empty all pockets.

General tips
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
Sorting laundry
^ Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
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.
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.
– Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from
being rolled up inside them.

3. Load the laundry
Load / Detergent
^ Press the / button to open the drum door.
The Load / Detergent sub-menu will appear.
The washing machine has a sensor which measures the
amount of laundry placed in the drum. The display shows
the percentage of the maximum load which has been
placed in the drum. The maximum load will depend on the
programme chosen.
In addition to the load size precentage, the amount of
detergent required is also shown as a % figure.
The load is shown in the display in 25% steps. Loads of less
than 25% or an empty drum are shown as <25%. Drum
overloaded will appear if too much laundry is placed in the
drum.
^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum. Mixing
both large and small items gives better wash results and
also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.
The load size will appear in the display.

detergent recommended by the
manufacturer.
– A burden to the environment.
The percentage shown relates to the
amount of detergent recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
50% = Add half the amount
recommended
60% = Add slightly more than half
the amount recommended
75% = Add three quarters of the
amount recommended

Detergent
The correct detergent
All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable.
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 programmes with short durations.
Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk.
Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the
detergent packaging.
See “Optional accessories” at the end of this booklet for details of Miele
branded care products including detergents and fabric conditioner.
1)
Liquid detergent
For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special container
from the Miele Spare Parts Department which sits in the main wash
compartment j. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and
to compartment i for the pre-wash
2)
Use powder detergent
* Specialist detergent
Detergent designed specifically for the wash programme or type of fabric.
** Only use proofing agents containing fluorochemical compounds which are
stated by the manufacturer as being "suitable for use on membrane textiles".
Do not use proofing agents which contain paraffin. Add proofing agents to
compartment §.

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 rear feet and by the handle
recesses at the front.
,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
securely positioned.
Removing the transit fittings
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
^ We recommend the use of a plywood
base (at least 59x52x3cm). 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 first.
^ If possible, install the machine in a
corner as this is usually the most
stable part of the floor.
^ To remove the left and right covers
^ 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). Otherwise there is a
danger of the machine moving and
falling off the plinth.
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the
cover as illustrated.
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

,To avoid the risk of injury the
holes for the transit bars must be
covered after the transit bars have
been removed.
Store them 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).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
^ Fit the covers onto the two holes.
Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.

Installation and connection
Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level
on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase
electricity and water consumption and
may cause the machine to move about.
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.
^ Use a spirit level to check the
machine is standing level.
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counternut 2 again
using the spanner supplied until it
sits firmly up against the housing.
,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.
^ Using the spanner supplied turn
counternut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then turn counternut 2 together with
foot 1 to unscrew.

Installation and connection
The Miele water protection
system
– Overflow protection
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.
The Miele water protection system
protects the washing machine from
water damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
3) Drain hose
1) the inlet hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being
emptied completely.
2) the electronic unit and the washing
machine housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
– The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than 14,000 kPa
– The inlet hose has a protective
sleeve which is made from metal to
protect the hose from damage.
2) Electronic unit and washing
machine housing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the appliance. A
float switches off the safety valves,
preventing any more water flowing
into the machine and water in the
suds container is pumped away.
