Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that
may be stored on the appliance being
disposed of. Please ensure that your
old appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

chine. Never allow children to play with the washing machine.
8
Warning and safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
visible damage. Do not set up or use a damaged washing machine.
The electrical safety of the washing machine can only be guaran-
teed when correctly earthed.
It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested and
in case of any doubt the on-site wiring system should be inspected
by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when
cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault:
- switch off at the wall and disconnect the plug from the socket, or
- disconnect the fuse at the mains circuit board, or
- unscrew the on-site screw-in fuse.
See “Installation – Electrical connection”.
9
Warning and safety instructions
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
The washing machine must only be connected to the on-site wa-
ter supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used.
Check the hose regularly for signs of wear. Replace it in good time to
avoid the risk of leaks and subsequent damage.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
For reasons of safety, do not connect the machine to the mains
electricity supply by an extension lead, multi-socket adapter, or similar. These can overheat and are a fire hazard.
In the case of commercial use, all relevant national provisions and
regulations (DGUV in Germany) relating to accident insurance are applicable to this machine. It is recommended to carry out testing in
accordance with national regulations (e.g. the regulatory framework
described in DGUV100-500/Chapter 2.6/Section 4). The test book
required for the documentation is available from Miele.
The machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical
data”.
If the washing machine is equipped with an electrical plug con-
nection, it must be easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.
10
Warning and safety instructions
If the appliance is hard wired, an on-site all pole circuit breaker
must always be accessible to disconnect the washing machine from
the mains.
Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be
assured if it has been correctly connected to the mains electricity
supply.
While the washing machine is under warranty, repairs should only
be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise
the warranty will be invalidated.
Correct use
The maximum dry laundry weight is 7.0kg. The maximum recom-
mended loads for individual programmes are given in the Programme
chart.
Do not install your washing machine in a room where temperat-
ures 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 washing machine have been removed (see “Installation – Removing transit bars”). During spinning, transit bars
which are still in place may result in damage to both the machine
and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Close the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of
time (e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully)
in the immediate vicinity.
11
Warning and safety instructions
Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin,
check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink
from overflowing. Hook the hose over the edge and secure. If the
hose is unsecured, the force of the water flowing out of it can dislodge it from the basin.
Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, pa-
per clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.
These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum). Damaged components can damage 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
it, only use special non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. Special descaling agent is
available from your Miele dealer or from Miele Service. Strictly observe the instructions for the descaling agent.
For textiles that have been treated with solvent-based detergents,
always check whether they can be washed in a washing machine. To
check whether this is possible, refer to safety notes, information concerning the product's environmental properties, and other information.
Never use solvent based detergents, e.g. those containing ben-
zine, in this machine. Doing so may result in damage to component
parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion.
Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not
be stored or used near the machine. Risk of fire and explosion
12
Warning and safety instructions
Only use dyes suitable for use in a washing machine. Always ob-
serve 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 washing machine.
Avoid contact between stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing)
and liquid detergents or disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or
sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on
stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine 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 washing ma-
chine.
It is particularly important to observe manufacturer's instructions
when using a combination of cleaning agents and special application
products. Products must only be used for applications approved by
the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of
strong chemical reactions.
If detergent has come into contact with the eyes, rinse out imme-
diately with plenty of lukewarm water. If detergent has accidentally
been ingested, seek medical advice immediately. People with damaged or sensitive skin should avoid contact with detergent.
When adding or removing laundry during the main wash, your skin
may come into contact with detergent, particularly if the detergent is
dispensed externally. Take care when placing your hands inside the
drum. If suds have come into contact with the skin, rinse off immediately with lukewarm water.

Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption
- To get the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load size for
the wash programme you are using.
This will keep the energy and water
consumption to a minimum in relation
to the size of the load.
- Programmes that are more efficient
with regard to energy and water consumption generally have a longer
programme running time. By extending the programme running time, the
wash temperature that is actually
reached can be reduced while still
providing the same wash results.
For example, the ECO40-60 programme has a longer running time
than the Cottons40°C or 60°C programme. The ECO40-60 programme
is more efficient in terms of energy
and water consumption.
- Use the Express programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible
to wash laundry at lower temperatures (e.g. 20°C). Using lower temperature settings will save energy.
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. ⅓ less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
Information about subsequent
tumble drying
The spin speed selected affects the residual moisture in the laundry and the
sound emissions of the washing machine.
The higher the spin speed, the lower
the residual moisture in the laundry.
However, the sound emissions of the
washing machine will increase.
Select the highest possible spin speed
for the wash programme to save energy
in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.
- Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergents can cause
bacteria and odours to build up in the
washing machine. To maintain the
hygiene of the washing machine,
carry out a hot wash above 60°C at
regular intervals.
24
1. Preparing the laundry
Emptying pockets
Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on
can cause damage to garments and
components in the machine.
Check the laundry before washing
and remove any foreign objects.
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry according to colour
and the garment care label.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should
be cleaned as soon as possible.
Spillages should be carefully dabbed
off using a soft, colourfast cloth.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based detergents.
When using solvent-based deter-
gents, an explosive mixture may develop.
Never use solvent-based detergents
in the washing machine.
General tips
- Do not machine wash items which
are specified by the manufacturer as
not washable on the care label ().
- Curtains: remove rollers and lead
weights or place in a laundry bag.
- Sew in or remove any loose underwiring in bras.
- Turn garments inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer.
- Zip up or close any jackets with Velcro or hook and eye fastenings before
washing.
- Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from becoming
rolled up inside them.
- Please refer to the Programme chart
for more tips and tricks.
Damage due to solvent-based
detergents.
Detergents containing benzine, stain
remover, etc., can damage plastic
parts.
When pre-treating textiles, make sure
that any plastic parts do not come
into contact with the detergent.
25
2. Loading the washing machine
Opening the door
Reach under the door grip and pull
the door open.
Check the drum for foreign objects
before loading it with laundry.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum.
Mixing both large and small items gives
better wash results and also helps to
distribute the load evenly during spinning.
Closing the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is
washed. However, do not overload as
this reduces cleaning efficiency and
causes creasing.

An unsatisfactory wash result
ProblemCause and remedy
Liquid detergent does
not give the required
result.
White residues which
look like powder detergent are seen on dark
textiles after washing.
Textiles with particularly
greasy soiling are not
properly clean.
Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching
agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee, and tea
stains.
Use a general purpose powder detergent contain-
ing a bleaching agent.
Pour stain removers into the drawer in the dis-
penser compartment and liquid detergent into a
dispenser ball.
Never put stain removers and liquid detergent to-
gether in the dispenser drawer.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid
water softening which are not soluble in water. These
have ended up on the laundry.
Try to brush off the residues with a soft brush once
the laundry is dry.
In future, wash dark textiles using a detergent
which contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain no zeolites.
Select a programme with pre-wash. Use liquid de-
tergent for the pre-wash.
Continue to use universal powder detergent for the
main wash.
Problem solving guide
Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in
the main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing.
Please seek advice from the detergent manufacturer.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The
laundry was heavily soiled with grease (oils, ointments).
Use more detergent or use liquid detergent with
this type of soiled laundry.
Before washing the next load, run a 60°C pro-
gramme with liquid detergent but without a load.

Water connection
Cold water connection
The washing machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with current local and national
safety 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.
In the U.K. both the hot and cold water supplies must be connected to
the mains water connection with the
provided double check valve. Hot
water temperature must not exceed
60 °C.
The flow pressure must amount to a
minimum of 100kPa and must not exceed 1000kPa. If the pressure exceeds
1000kPa, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
For the connection, a stopcock with a
¾" screw thread is required. If this type
of stopcock is not available, only a
qualified installer may connect the
washing machine to the mains 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 screw thread if appropriate.
Maintenance
Only use genuine Miele hoses that have
been tested to withstand pressure of at
least 7000kPa should you ever need a
replacement.
A filter is located in the open end of
the inlet hose and another in the intake point to protect the water inlet
valve.
Neither filter may be removed.
Hose extension
Longer hoses of 2.5m or 4.0m in
length are available from Miele or from
your Miele dealer as accessories.
Hot water connection
The washing machine can be connected to a hot water connection (up to a
maximum of 70°C).
This requires a special water inlet hose.
The hose can be ordered from a Miele
dealer or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
If the washing machine is connected to
a hot water point, you must configure
the settings Main wash water, Pre-washwater and Rinse water to hot (see “Supervisor level”).
The inlet hose for cold water is not
suitable for connection to a hot water
supply.

Drainage
Drain pump
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m delivery head. For the
water to drain freely, the hose must be
free of kinks. The elbow piece (accessory) can be hooked onto the end of the
hose.
Drainage options
1. Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple (there is no
need to use a siphon).
2. Connected securely to a washbasin
with a plastic nipple.
3. Connected securely to a floor drain

point of disconnection cannot accidentally be switched on again.
Make sure the isolator is lockable or
the point of disconnection is monitored at all times.
New connections, modifications to the
system, or servicing of the earthing
conductor, including determining the
correct fuse amperage, must be carried
out by a qualified electrician, as they
are familiar with the pertinent regulations and the specific requirements of
the electric utility company.
If converting the washing machine to
an alternative voltage, observe the
instructions in the wiring diagram.
Conversion must be performed by
Miele Service or by an authorised
Miele dealer.
If the machine is hard wired, an all pole
circuit breaker must be provided onsite. When switched off there must be
an all-pole contact gap of at least 3mm
in the isolator switch (including miniature circuit breaker, switch, fuses and
