Caring for the 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.
Recycling packaging materials saves
raw materials and reduces the amount
of waste produced. Rather than just
throwing these materials away, please
ensure they are 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.
Disposing 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 general waste.
Energy saving tips
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.
Detergent
Do not exceed the amounts of
–
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
– Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads.
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.
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.

6
It is the operator's responsiblity to
~
ensure that the standard of disinfection
in thermal as well as chemo thermal
procedures is maintained (in
accordance with local authority
regulations) by carrying out suitable
validation tests. Disinfection
programmes must not be interrupted,
as this can have a limiting effect on the
disinfection result.
If the machine is used in a publically
~
accessible room, it is the supervisor's
responsibility to ensure that suitable
measures are in place which enable
operators to use it safely.
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine,
~
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
machine.
The electrical safety of this machine
~
can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and
an effective earthing system which
complies with 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 on-site 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).
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
this is not done any resultant damage
will not be covered by the guarantee.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning
~
purposes, the 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 screw-out fuse is removed (in
–
countries where this is applicable).
This machine must only be
~
connected to the on-site water supply
using a hose that is in good condition.
Old hoses must not be re-used. Check
the hose regularly for signs of wear.
Change in good time to avoid the risk of
leaks and subsequent damage.
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.
Do not use force to open the drum
~
door. The door handle is fitted with a
safety device to ensure that the door
lock functions correctly.
Do not make any alterations to the
~
machine, unless authorised to do so by
Miele.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
If this machine is being used in a
~
commercial environment please ensure
that all relevant health and safety
regulations are obeyed.
This 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.
Correct use
Do not install your 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 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. Shake out
wash cloths before placing them in the
machine to ensure that any coarse or
harmful residues are removed. 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 your Miele dealer. Follow
the usage instructions on the
packaging carefully.
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 this
machine.
Never use solvent based cleaning
~
agents 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.
Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any
~
easily flammable liquid must not be
stored or used near this machine. Fire
and explosion risk!
Only use dyes specified by the
~
manufacturer as being suitable for use
in a 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.
Avoid contact of stainless steel
~
surfaces (front, lid, casing) with liquid
cleaning and disinfecting agents which
contain chlorine or sodium
hypochlorite. These agents can have a
corrosive effect on stainless steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine
bleach can also be corrosive. Do not
store open containers of these agents
near the machine.
Do not use a pressure washer or
~
hose to clean the machine.
It is particularly important to observe
~
manafucturer's instructions when using
a combination of cleaning agents and
special application products. Only use
the product for the application
described by the manufacturer, to
avoid any material damage or the
occurrence of strong chemical
reactions.
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.
Disposing of your old machine
Before disposing of an old machine
~
it is important to disable the door lock.
This way you will prevent the risk of
children accidentally locking
themselves in and endangering their
lives.
Miele cannot be held liable for

Tips
1. Sort the laundry
^ Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to textiles and to
components in the machine.
Removing marks
^ 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.
,
Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in this machine.
Sorting laundry
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.
–
See the separate booklet supplied
with the machine for further tips.
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label. (h symbol)

Tips
2. Load the drum
Switch the machine off with the K
^
On/Off button.
To open the drum door pull on the
^
handle.
Do not use force as it is fitted with a
safety device to prevent it being
opened by mistake. Forcing the door
handle can cause damage to the
locking mechanism (see "Problem
solving guide, The door will not
open").
^ 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 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.
3. Select a programme
Select the most appropriate
^
programme for the load being
washed.
See the separate booklet supplied with
the machine for an overview of which
programmes are available.
^
Close the drum door. Press the door
firmly to shut it and then lock the
handle in position. Do not slam the
drum door.
,
Make sure that no items are
caught between the door and the
drum.

Problem solving guide
An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Possible cause Remedy
Liquid detergent
does not give the
required result.
Grey, greasy
particles cling to
washed laundry.
White residues
which look like
powder detergent
are seen on dark
textiles after
washing.
Textiles have
particularly
greasy soiling.
Liquid detergents
usually contain no
bleaching agents.
They do not remove
fruit, coffee and tea
stains.
Insufficient amounts
of detergent were
used to break down
the particles of
grease in heavily
soiled laundry.
The detergent
contained
compounds (zeolites)
to aid water softening
which are not soluble
in water. They have
ended up on the
laundry.
–
Select a programme with pre-wash. Use a liquid
detergent for the pre-wash and a powder detergent for
the main wash.
The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in the
main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing. Consult
detergent producers for advice.
Use a general purpose detergent
–
containing a bleaching agent.
Pour stain removers into
–
compartment j of the dispenser
drawer and liquid detergent into
a dispenser ball.
Never put stain removers and
–
liquid detergent together in the
dispenser drawer.
Use more detergent.
–
– Before washing the next load run
a Cottons 90°C programme with
powder detergent but without a
load.
– Try and brush off the residues
with a soft brush once the laundry
is dry.
– Wash dark textiles using a
detergent which contains no
zeolites. Liquid detergents
usually contain no zeolites.

,
This machine is not suitable for
building under a worktop.
The machine must be permanently
connected to the electricity supply
so that the door can be opened. For
this reason it must not be connected
to items such as timers which could
switch it off automatically.

Installation
Installation surface
Do not install the machine near
,
or directly above an open gully or
floor drain. Moisture from these can
penetrate the machine and damage
the electric components.
Ensure that the machine feet and
,
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
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.
^ 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
^ Release the catch and turn the left
hand transit bar clockwise by 90°.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
^
We recommend a plywood base (at
least 69 x 77 x 3 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.
50
^
Then withdraw the transit bar.
Release the catch and turn the right
^
hand transit bar anti-clockwise by
90°.
Installation
To avoid the risk of injury the
,
holes for the transit bars must be
covered after they have been
removed. If they are not covered
there is a risk of injury.
^ Plug the holes with the plastic caps
supplied.
^
Then withdraw the transit bar.
,
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).
,
When moving the machine make
sure it is stable.
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
51
Installation
Levelling the machine
Ensure that the machine feet and the
floor are dry to prevent the machine
from slipping during the spin cycle.
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.
^
Using the spanner supplied, turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise
direction. Then turn counter nut 2
together with foot 1 to unscrew.
^ 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.

Installation
Plumbing
This machine is approved for all UK
applications as suitable for category 5.
The product is listed in the WRAS
regulations advisory scheme directory
and is suitable for direct connection to
mains drinking water. No special
plumbing arrangements e.g. break
tanks are required.
Three Water Council approved double
check valves are supplied in the
accessories pack provided with this
machine. They should be fitted in
between the stopcocks and the water
inlet hoses.
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 1 and
10 bar (100 kPa and 1,000 kPa). At
higher water pressures it is essential to
fit a reducer valve.
Connection to the water supply should
be carried out by a qualified plumber
and should incorporate a stopcock with
a 3/4" thread. The stopcock should be
fitted by a qualified plumber.
The machine is supplied as standard
with two hoses, for connection to a hot
and cold water supply.
Connection to the cold water supply
The cold water inlet hose (blue
stripes) must be connected to the
on-site cold water supply via a 3/4"
threaded union. It is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
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.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement. Miele
hoses are tested to withstand pressure
of at least 70 bar (7,000 kPa).
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filters - one in the
open end of the inlet hose, one at
the inlet point in the machine - must
not be removed.
Extension hose
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.
IMPORTANT Australia and New
Zealand.
This appliance must be installed
according to AS/NZS 3500.1. Back flow
prevention is already integrated in the
appliance.
53
Installation
Hot water connection
To keep electricity consumption costs
down this machine can be connected
to a (ring) piped hot water supply, max.
temperature 70°C.. It is not economical
to run it from an individual hot water
supply if it is not in continuous use, as
the water in the supply pipes cools
down and more energy would be
required to reheat the water. For hot
water connection the same conditions
apply as for cold water connection.
The inlet hose with the red stripes (hot
water hose) is connected to the
stopcock.
For operational reasons the machine
must not be connected to hot water
only.
If the machine is not installed for hot
water connection, the Main wash water
setting must be set accordingly and the
hot water inlet hose must be detached:

Water drainage
Drain valve version
A motorised drain valve is used to drain
the machine. The DN 70 angle hose
provided enables the machine to be
drained via an on-site gully (with odour
trap).
Machines with a drain pump
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The
drain hose must not be kinked as this
restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at
the end of the hose can be turned in
either direction, or can be detached if
required, with a sharp twist and pull.
Drain hose connection:
1.Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple. There is
no need to use a non-return valve.
2. Connected securely to a standpipe.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m
(up to a max. of 1.6 m) a second
duo-drain pump is available with the
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.
3. Connected securely to a floor gully.
If required, the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 5 m. The
necessary parts can purchased from
the Miele Spare Parts Department or
your Miele dealer.
