IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the operating instructions before using this machine for the first time. They contain important information about the safety, use and maintenance of the machine. Doing so will prevent injury and damage to the dryer.
Save these instructions and pass them on to any future user.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
Technical Safety
Check the packaging, the washer
and accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on the data plate (circuit protection, voltage and frequency) match the mains electrical supply. If in doubt contact an electrician.
The appliance must be grounded.
It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electrical supply with an extension cord. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user which is not covered by the manufacturer. Repairs should only be performed by a Miele approved technician.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or repair work is being performed. The machine is only completely isolated from the electrical supply when it is turned off at the main switch and the plug is pulled or by tripping the circuit breaker.
Connect the washer, to the water
mains. Do not use old hoses. Inspect the intake hoses regularly for damage. They should be replaced as needed to prevent water damage.
Faulty components must only be
replaced with genuine Miele spare parts to maintain safety standards.
If the power cord is damaged it
must only be replaced by a Miele Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use
Only use the washing machine to
wash items which are specified by the manufacturer to be machine washable on the fabric care label. Any other applications may cause undesirable results. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of the appliance.
This appliance is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.
Do not install this 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.
Do not wash articles that have
been previously cleaned, washed soaked or spotted with gasoline, organic substances dry-cleaning solvents, or any other flammable substances. These articles give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Do not add these items to the washload.
Before using the machine for the
first time, check that the shipping struts at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation"). If the shipping struts are still in place during spinning, damage may result to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the water supply if the
machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. vacation).
Overflow hazard!
Check that the drain can accommodate the water flow before operating the washer. Make certain the drain hose is secured in the drain, otherwise the force of the expelled water could cause the drain hose to come out of the drain.
Be sure that foreign objects (e.g.
nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine. These items may damage the machine, which may also cause damage to the laundry.
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the correct amount of detergent
is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If the washer needs to be descaled, use a descaling agent with corrosion protection. These special descaling agents can be purchased from the Miele Service department. Use as directed.
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine, this may result in damage and create toxic fumes. They will present a fire and explosion hazard.
Items which have been pre-treated
in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use in a washing machine. Use as directed by the manufacturer.
Dye removers may contain sulphur
compounds which cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use dye removers in this machine.
The stainless steel casing must not
come in contact with liquid cleaning or disinfection agents containing chlorine. They may cause corrosion. Do not store open containers of this agent next to the machine.
Children
Close supervision is necessary
when the appliance is used near children. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Using accessories
Accessories must only be installed
once approved by Miele. Installing unapproved parts may void the warranty and product liability.

Installation
Installation site
The washer cannot be built-in.
Do not install the machine
,
directly next to or over an open floor drain or drain channel. Moisture can penetrate the machine and damage electrical parts.
A concrete floor is the most suitable surface for the washer. Concrete floors are less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floors.
If the machine is installed on a
,
masonry or concrete base it must be secured with retaining clips to prevent the washer from vibrating off the stand during the spin cycle.
^ The machine must be leveled and
securely positioned.
Installation
Use the front washer feet and the rear
^
excess end to transport the washer from its shipping pallet to the installation site.
Do not lift the washer by the drum door.
Ensure that the machine’s feet
,
and the floor are dry to prevent slippage during the spin cycle.
Removing the shipping struts
^ Remove the left and right rotary
protectors.
^ To avoid vibration while spinning, the
machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.
In case the installation must be on a wooden joist floor:
^
Install the unit on a 27

Leveling the washer
To ensure smooth operation the washer must be level.
Failure to level the machine can result in increased water and energy consumption as well as the washer "banging" during the spin cycle or "walking" across the floor during use.
Adjust the four leveling feet
The washer is leveled by adjusting the four feet. The machine is boxed with the feet completely screwed in.
^ Turn the locking nut, 2, counter-
clockwise with the enclosed combination wrench. Unscrew each of the four feet as much as necessary by turning both the foot, 1, and the locking nut, 2, to the left.
52
^
Check that the machine stands level.
^
Once level, hold the foot, 1, steady with a wrench. Turn the locking nut, 2, with the combination wrench towards the machine.
,
All four locking nuts must be tight against the bottom of the machine. In addition, check to see that the feet were not inadvertently unscrewed while tightening the nuts. Running a machine that is not level or whose feet are not tight may cause damage to both the machine and its surrounding area.

Hot water connection
Connecting the machine to a hot water supply will lead to low electrical consumption during hot water operation. The hot water temperature at the water faucet must not exceed 158°F (70°C). The water in single water lines from the hot water source cools faster when not in constant use. To heat the wash water more electricity must be used. The same conditions for the hot water as for the cold water connection will then apply.
^ Connect the hot water intake hose
(red mark) to the water faucet.
The connection of the machine to a hot water line only, is not possible for functional reasons.
If the washer is not to be installed for hot water connection, the settings "Main wash", "Pre-wash" and "Rinse" must be adjusted respectively. The hot water intake hose must be removed.

Drainage
There are two drainage options for this machine:
Drain valve
The machine is drained with a motorized drain valve. A connection can be made to an on-site floor drain (gully with an air gap) on an angle.
Drain pump
The wash water is drained using a pump with a 3 ft (1 m) delivery height. Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose. The elbow on the end of the drain hose can be turned or removed if necessary.
Possible connections:
1. Directly into a sink: Hook the hose
over the edge of the sink and secure it firmly (e.g. by tying the hose to the water faucet).
If necessary the drain hose can be extended up to 16’ 5" (5 m). The hose extension can be purchased from your Miele dealer or Miele.
The drain pump must be replaced for drain heights over 3 ft (1 m). The maximum allowable drain height is 5 ft 11 in (1.8 m). A stronger pump for these heights can be purchased from your dealer or Miele.
2. To a stand pipe: Place the drain hose into a 1 and secure it firmly.
3. To a floor drain: The machine is equipped with an air gap/ anti-siphoning system so that no minimum drain height is required.
