Warning and Safety instructions  
Technical safety  
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally  
~
visible damage.  
Do not install or use a damaged washing machine.  
Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the  
~
connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match  
the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified  
electrician.  
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be  
~
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is most important that this  
basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested, and  
where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be  
inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be  
held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system  
(e.g. electric shock).  
Do not connect the washing 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).  
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.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the  
~
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be  
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician.  
If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a  
~
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.  
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the  
~
event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.  
This washing machine must only be connected to the on-site  
~
water supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used.  
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or  
~
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its  
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which  
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered  
by the guarantee.  
This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.  
~
on a ship).  
Do not make any alterations to the washing machine, unless  
~
authorised to do so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Correct use  
Do not install your washing machine in rooms where temperatures  
~
below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The  
reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at  
temperatures below freezing point.  
Before using the washing machine for the first time, check that  
~
the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see  
section on "Installation and connection"). During spinning, a transit  
bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine  
and adjacent furniture or appliances.  
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.  
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.  
Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,  
~
paper clips) do not find their way into 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.

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. A special  
descaling agent is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts  
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning  
~
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being  
washed in the machine.  
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing  
~
benzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component  
parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and  
explosion hazard.  
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing  
~
benzine, to clean the outside surfaces of this machine. They can  
cause damage to plastic surfaces.  
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for  
~
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the  
manufacturer's instructions carefully.  
Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which  
~
can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in  
this machine.  
If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them  
~
thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek  
medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label  
for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should  
avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.

down by the hour. If it is less than 9  
hours and 59 minutes it will count down  
minute by minute.

Programme duration  
After the start of a programme, the  
estimated programme duration will  
appear in the display in hours and  
minutes.  
Once the delay start time has finished,  
the programme begins and the  
estimated programme duration shows  
in the display.  
When delay start is being used, the  
programme duration will appear after  
the delay start time has elapsed.  
Programmable functions  
The programmable functions can be  
used to tailor washing programmes to  
suit your individual requirements. In  
programming mode, the display will  
show the function selected.  
During the first 10 minutes the washing  
machine measures how much water is  
being absorbed by the laundry and  
uses this to calculate the load. The  
programme duration may be longer or  
shorter depending on this absorbency  
rate.

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 drain filter is securely  
tightened to prevent the risk of leaks  
during use.  
This washing machine has  
undergone a complete functional test  
at the factory and there will be some  
residual water in the drum from this  
process.  
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.  
^ Open the stopcock.  
^ Press the K button.  
^ Turn the programme selector to  
Cottons 60°C.  
^ Press the Start button.  
^ At the end of the programme switch  
the machine off.  
The washing machine is now ready for  
use.

Washing environmentally and economically  
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.  
– Reduce the amount of detergent with  
smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than  
the amount recommended can be  
used when washing a half load).  
– When smaller amounts of laundry are  
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.  
Choosing the correct Extra option  
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)  
Select:  
– Use the Express 20 programme for

where there are no obvious marks.  
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 without any extra  
options for normal to heavy soiling  
with visible staining.  
– A wash programme together with the  
Soak extra option for very heavily  
soiled laundry.  
– To maintain the hygiene of the

cleaning agent is rinsed off before  
washing the garment in the machine.  
ASort the laundry  
,Do not use solvent-based  
cleaning agents in or on this machine.  
^ Sort the laundry by colour and by  
care label. Most garments have a  
textile care label in the collar or side  
seam.  
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.

components in the machine.  
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:  
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar  
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or  
sewn in.  
^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should  
be cleaned as soon as possible,  
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages  
should be carefully dabbed off using  
a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!  
– Knitted garments, trousers and  
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn  
inside out, if recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
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.  
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and  
eyes etc before washing.  
– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent  
small items from being rolled up  
inside them.  
Do not wash any items in this machine  
which are specified by the  
manufacturer as not washable on the  
care label. (h symbol)

IStart the programme  
^ Press the flashing Start button.  
If a delay start time has been selected,  
then this will count down in the display.  
At the end of the delay start time or im-  
mediately after the programme has  
started (if a delay start time has not  
been selected) the estimated  
programme duration will appear in the  
display. During the first 10 minutes the  
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 K button and turn the  
programme selector to Finish.  
JUnload the drum  
When the programme has finished, the  
Anti-crease/Finish indicator light will  
come on.  
^ 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.  
The washing machine will switch off  
automatically 15 minutes after the  
end of the anti-crease phase. You will  
need to press the K button to switch  
it back on again.  
^ Press the Door button to open the  
drum door.  
^ Remove the laundry.  
Check that all items have been  
removed from the drum. Items left in  
the drum could discolour other items  
in the next wash or become  
discoloured themselves.

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.

The right amount to dispense will  
depend on the following:  
Refill packs of detergent  
When purchasing detergent buy refill  
packs wherever possible. This helps  
reduce the amount of waste packaging.  
– The quantity of laundry.  
– The soiling level of the laundry.  
Lightly soiled

No visible dirt or stains. Possibly  
slight body odour.  
A water softener can be used to cut  
down on the use of detergents in hard

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:  
,Ensure that the machine feet and  
the floor are dry to prevent the  
machine from slipping during the  
spin cycle.  
^ The machine must be level and  
securely positioned.  
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
Removing the transit bars  
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.  
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).  
Otherwise there is a danger of the  
machine moving and falling off the  
plinth.  
^ 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.

,The washing machine must not  
be moved without the transit bars in  
place.  
^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.  
Then plug the holes as shown with  
the caps.  
Store them as shown or keep them  
in a safe place for future use. They

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.

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:

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

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 flowing  
into the machine and water in the  
suds container is pumped away.

– Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length  
are available from your Miele dealer  
or the Miele Spare Parts Department  
as optional extras.  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a flow pressure of between  
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher  
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a  
pressure reducing 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.  
The washing machine is not suitable  
for connection to a hot water supply.

Only use a genuine Miele hose should  
you ever need a replacement or  
extension. These are tested to  
withstand pressure of at least  
7,000 kPa.
