Caring for our environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally 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!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances /
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 appliance or machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.
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.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person.

Warning and Safety instructions
This washing machine is not
This washing machine conforms to
current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however,
lead to personal injury and damage
to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the washing machine,
please read these instructions
carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important
information on its installation, safety,
use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
This washing machine is for
~
domestic use only and can only be
used to wash items which are specified
by the manufacturer to be
machine-washable on the wash care
label, and textiles 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
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from incorrect or

toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not
allow children to play on or near it or to
play with its controls. Supervise
children whilst you are using it.
Older children may only use the
~
washing machine if its operation has
been clearly explained to them and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
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.
6
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
connected load) 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
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
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).
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
This washing machine may only be
~
used in mobile installations such as
ships if a risk assessment of the
installation has been carried out by a
suitably qualified engineer.
Do not make any alterations to the
~
washing machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
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"). 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.
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
Department or via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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, e.g. those containing benzene,
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.
Never use solvent based cleaning
~
agents, e.g. those containing benzene,
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.
Only remove laundry from the
~
washing machine once the drum has
stopped turning. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous
and could result in injury.
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.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.
If liquid detergent comes into
~
contact with the eyes, rinse them
thoroughly with lukewarm water imme
diately. 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 liquid detergent.

Operating the washing machine
Programme duration
After the start of a programme, the
estimated programme duration will
appear in the display in hours and
minutes.
When delay start is being used, the
programme duration will appear after
the delay start time has elapsed.
During the first 8 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.
Delay start
The delay start time selected will
appear in the display.
After the Start/Stop button has been
pressed, the delay start time will start
counting down. If the delay start time is
more than 10 hours, it will count down
by the hour. If it is less than 9 hours and
59 minutes it will count down minute by
minute.
Once the delay start time has elapsed,
the programme begins and the
estimated programme duration shows
in the display.
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.
11
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 water
leaks during use.
This washing machine has
undergone a thorough functional test
in 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.
Setting the language
You will be asked to select the
language you require for the display. It
is possible to change the language at
any time via the programmable
functions.
! deutsch
If the language shown is not the one
^
you want, select the language you do
want by turning the programme
selector. Confirm your selection by
pressing the Start/Stop button.
Reminder to remove transit bars
To avoid the risk of damage, the
transit bars must be removed before
the machine is used for the first time.
See "Installation and connection" for
instructions on how to do this.
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.
If the washing machine is being
switched on for the first time, the
welcome screen will appear.
The welcome screen will appear in
the display every time the washing
machine is switched on until a
programme lasting longer than
1 hour has been completed.
12
^ After removing the transit bars (if this
has not already been done by your
fitter), press the Start/Stop button.
Running your first programme
Run a Cottons 60°C programme without
any laundry and without detergent.
^
Open the stopcock.
^
Turn the programme selector
clockwise until the Cottons
programme indicator light comes on.
^
Press the Start/Stop button.
^
At the end of the programme switch
the machine off.
The machine is now ready for use.
Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption
Water consumption and energy
–
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
Use the Automatic and Express
–
programmes for small loads.
When smaller amounts of laundry are
–
washed using the Cottons hygiene
and Cottons programmes, the auto
matic 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.
– Using the Cottons 60°C programme
instead of the Cottons 95°C
programme will give energy savings
of between 35% and 45%. This is
sufficient for most levels of soiling.
Detergent
Do not exceed the amounts of
–
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
Adjust the dosage to the degree of
–
soiling of the laundry.
Reduce the amount of detergent with
–
smaller loads (approx.
1
/3less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
-
Choosing the correct extra option
(Short and Pre-wash)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Short extra option for light to normal
soiling where there are no obvious
marks.
– A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– The Pre-wash extra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,
sand).
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.

Tips for allergy sufferers
Fabrics
Wash fabrics which will be worn
–
directly against the skin, e.g.
underwear, baby clothes, socks etc.,
at a temperature of at least 60°C or
the maximum temperature indicated
on the garment care label.
A temperature of 60°C is required to
deactivate germs and household
dustmites.
The Cottons hygiene or Minimum iron
hygiene programmes effectively
deactivate germs and household
dustmites as these programmes
have a temperature holding time of
one hour in the main wash. During
the temperature holding time
Hygiene and Main wash will alternate
in the display.
– When buying garments, check that
they can be washed at a
temperature of 60°C.
– Wash new garments before wearing
them for the first time.
The First wash programme will
remove any chemical residues from
new garments.
Textiles which tend to run should be
washed separately. You may wish to
wash them several times before
wearing them for the first time.
Pillows
Use the Pillows hygiene programme
to remove household dust mites from
pillows. The temperature is held for
one hour in the main wash in this
programme. During the temperature
holding time Hygiene and Main wash
will alternate in the display.
Pillow and mattress covers should be
–
washed regularly, at least every 3
months.
Detergent
– Use detergents without added
fragrance.
– We recommend using detergents
which have been specially designed
for those with sensitive skins or
allergies.
– Detergent components will vary
depending on the manufacturer so it
may be a good idea to try out several
makes of detergent to find the one
which suits you best.
Number of rinses
–
The Hygiene programmes are
designed to rinse garments very
effectively.
–
Pressing the Rinse plus button
introduces an extra rinse.
14
–
The Cottons hygiene programme has
one more rinse than the Cottons
programme. This extra rinse is
carried out automatically.
Brief instructions
The headings numbered A, B, C,...
show the operating sequence and can
be used as brief instructions.
A Sort the laundry
^ Empty all pockets.
,
Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to garments and
components in the machine.
^
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!
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.
How to wash correctly
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.
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.
– 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.
–
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)

How to wash correctly
B Switch on the washing machine
C Load the drum
Press the Door button to open the
^
drum door.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
^
in the drum. Mixing both large and
small items gives better wash results
and also helps distribute the load
evenly during spinning.
The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is
washed. However, do not overload as
this causes creases and reduces
cleaning efficiency.
Make sure that no garments are
caught between the drum door and
seal.
D Select a programme
^ Turn the programme selector
clockwise or anti-clockwise to the
required programme. The
programme indicator light for the
programme selected will come on.
E Select a temperature / spin speed
The suggested temperature and/or spin
speed can be changed.

selected.
Not all the extra options are suitable for
use with every programme.
You can only select extra options which
are compatible with the basic
programme being used.
Short
For light to nomal soiling with no visible
staining.
The duration of the main wash is
reduced.
Rinse plus
This extra option introduces an extra
rinse.
You can also select other settings for
Rinse plus button. These are described
in "Programmable functions - Water
plus".
Pre-wash
For laundry with large amounts of dirt
e.g. dust, sand.
Buzzer
An audible tone sounds at the end of a
programme and when Rinse hold is
reached. The buzzer will sound
repeatedly until the machine is
switched off. The volume of the buzzer
can be changed, see "Programmable
functions".
G Select Delay start (if required)
The start of a programme can be
delayed from 30 minutes up to 24
hours, allowing you to make use of
night-time economy electricity rates, for
example.
See "Delay start" for more information.

How to wash correctly
H Add detergent
It is important to dispense the correct
amount, because...
. . . too little detergent results in:
Laundry not getting properly clean
–
and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.
Greasy particles clinging to the
–
laundry.
Limescale deposits on the heater
–
elements.
. . . too much detergent results in:
– Excessive foam which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
– Higher water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
– A burden to the environment.
Pull out the detergent drawer and
^
place detergent in the compartments
as follows:
i
Detergent for the pre-wash (divide
the total recommended amount as
follows: add
2
and
/3to compartment j)

Detergent for the main wash
18
§
Fabric conditioner or liquid starch
^
Close the detergent drawer.
See "Detergent" for further information.
I Start the programme
Press the flashing Start/Stop 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 no delay start time has been
selected) the estimated programme
duration will appear in the display.
During the first 8 minutes the machine
measures how much water is being
absorbed by the laundry. The
programme duration may be longer or

J Remove the laundry when the
programme has finished

and
0:00 Finish
^
Press the Door button to open the
drum door.
How to wash correctly
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.
-
^ Check the folds in the door seal for
any small articles, e.g. buttons, which
might be lodged there.
^ Switch the 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.

Remove the laundry.
