Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
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.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
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
connected load) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
If the connection cable is faulty it
~
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning
~
purposes, the washing machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
– 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and the plug is withdrawn, or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– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the
screw-out fuse is removed (in
The electrical safety of this washing
~
machine can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and
an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety 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. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the
countries where this is applicable).
The Miele "Water protection system"
~
protects from water damage provided
the following conditions have been met:
– the machine is correctly plumbed in
and connected to the electricity
supply.
– if a fault has been identified, the
machine must be examined by a
competent person before further use,
and repaired if necessary.
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 appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
In countries where there are 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 machine guarantee.
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.

Flooding danger.
~
Do not make any alterations to the
washing machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
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.
~
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.
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.
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
If the correct amount of detergent is

"Installation"). During spinning, a transit
bar which is still in place may result in
damage to both the machine and
adjacent furniture or appliances.
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

order from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or via the internet on

Useful tips
Filling the container with a different
brand
The correct liquid detergent
Do not mix brands of liquid
detergent. This can give a poor
wash result and cause the detergent
to separate.
You can fill the container with any
brand of liquid detergent. However, it is
advisable to fill it with the brand you
tend to use most frequently.
^ Clean the container as described in
"Cleaning and care".
Make a note of the brand name of the
liquid detergent below to remind you of
the name when you need to buy some
more.
^ Make sure you alter the dosage level
if a different dosage to the previous
one set is recommended by the
manufacturer.
Brand name
Degrees of soiling
Light:
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight
body odour.
Normal:
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Refilling
If you want to continue using the same
brand of liquid detergent, you can
simply refill the container, in which case
it is not necessary to clean it out.
Heavy:
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
Very heavy:
Stains and soiling clearly visible which
have been there for a while and dried

How to wash correctly
Brief instructions
,If you use a solvent-based clean-
ing agent (e.g. one containing ben-
zene) 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.
The headings numbered A, B, C, . . .
show the operating sequence and can
be used as brief instructions.
ASort the laundry
,Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in 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.
^ Empty all pockets.
,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to garments and

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

Programme sequence
This machine has fully electronic
controls with automatic load
Special features in the programme
sequences:
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.
Anti-crease:
At the end of every programme, with
the exception of the Woollens
programme, 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 in
the chart are based on the basic
programme with a full load. Extra
options which can be selected have not
been taken into account.
1)
Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse without
detergent is carried out automatically
to remove dust.
The display shows the stage the
programme has reached.
2)
Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is
carried out before the wash process
begins to deflate the pillows.
Subsequent water intake for the main
wash is through compartment j.
3)
A second rinse is carried out when a
temperature of 60°C to 95°C has
been selected. A third rinse is
carried out when a temperature
below 60°C is selected.
4) A third or fourth rinse is carried out if:
– there is too much foam in the drum
– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has
been selected
– No u has been selected
5) A third rinse is carried out if:
– No u has been selected
6)
In the Outerwear programme,
laundry is only spun after the main
wash.

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.
Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufacturer for programmes
without a pre-wash.
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 of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add
liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and to compartment i for the pre-wash.

Detergent
The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in hard
water areas. Dispense according to the
amount specified on the packaging.
First add detergent and then the water
softener.
– 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.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft

soiling.
Washing with several components
– The quantity of the laundry (use
Automatic dispensing).
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment j in the
following order:
– The water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.
1. Detergent
2. Water softeners
3. Stain remover
This way the agents are distributed
more evenly.

Fabric conditioners and liquid starch
If starching frequently, thoroughly
clean the dispenser compartment,
especially the siphon tube and
fabric conditioner channel, regularly.
See "Cleaning the detergent
dispenser drawer". Do not use
powder starch formulations or
viscous liquid starch in the §
compartment as it will clog up. See
below.
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
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
before 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.
,The washing machine must not
be hosed down.
A range of Miele branded cleaning and
conditioning products are available to
order from your Dealer, the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet on
Cleaning the detergent
dispenser drawer
External casing and fascia
panel
Remove detergent residues regularly.
^ Clean the casing with a mild
non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap
and water using a well wrung-out
cloth. 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.
^ Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer until a resistance is felt. Press
down the release catch and at the
same time pull the drawer right out of
the machine.

2. Replace the siphon.
Descaling the machine
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.
^ Clean the fabric conditioner channel
using a brush and warm water.
If starching frequently, thoroughly
clean the siphon, the siphon tube
and the fabric conditioner channel
regularly. A build-up of starch will
cause them to get clogged.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the dispensing unit
Cleaning the dispensing tube
The container should be cleaned each
time you change brand of liquid
detergent.
It is not normally necessary to clean the
dispensing tube.
After refitting the container, sufficient
detergent for 2-3 washes will still be in
the system. After that the new detergent
will be used.
Cleaning the container and lid
,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.
However if you have had any problems
with the old detergent (e.g. you have
had to change brand because of an
allergic reaction), you will have to
dismantle the dispensing tube and
rinse it out thoroughly.
After cleaning, the dispensing tube
must be primed with detergent again
and the dosage level must be set. See
"Before using for the first time
- Priming the liquid detergent
dispensing system" and "Liquid
detergent dispensing - Dosage level".
^ Remove the container from its base.
^ Remove the lid.
^ Rinse the container with hot water to
remove any detergent residues.
^ Clean the container and lid with a
mild non-abrasive cleaning agent or
soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
^ Clean the valve in the bottom of the
container.
Remember to reset the detergent
dosage level if you change brand of
liquid detergent.

Cleaning the filter in the water
inlet
^ First turn off the stopcock.
^ Unscrew the threaded union
connecting the free end of the inlet
hose to the stopcock.
The washing machine has a filter to
protect the water inlet valve.
The accessible filter in the union in the
open end of the inlet hose should be
checked every six months, or more
often if there are frequent interruptions
to the external water supply.
^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the
recess.
^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar 2 and remove.
^ Clean the plastic filter.
^ Put the filter and seal back in the
reverse order and reconnect the
hose.
Turn on the stopcock and check the
connection is watertight. If water drips
out, tighten the connection.
Never forget to put the filter back in
place after cleaning.

Installation and connection
Installation surface
Transporting the machine to its
installation site
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 front feet as well as by the
edge of the lid where it protrudes to the
rear of the washing machine.
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 fittings
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 first.
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.

,The machine must not be moved
without the transit bars in place.
Store them as shown or keep 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).
^ Fit the covers onto the two holes.
Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the

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 counter nut 2 again
using the spanner supplied until it
sits firmly up against the housing.
,All four counter nuts must sit
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
counter nut 2 in a clockwise
direction. Then turn counter nut 2
together with foot 1 to unscrew.

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.

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.
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 (1-10 bar). 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.
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.
