The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally 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. 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
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. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

businesses, care homes, sports clubs, hospitals and other similar
commercial environments. This machine may also be operated by
lay persons in public areas such as laundrettes, communal laundry
rooms or similar.
This washing machine is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety.
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before installing and operating the washing machine, check it for
any visible exterior damage. Do not set up or use a damaged
washing machine.
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, when there is 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 (e.g. electric shock).
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
must only be carried out by a Miele authorised 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.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washing
machine must be isolated from the electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated if:
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
– the mains fuse is disconnected, or
– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.
For further information 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 be connected to the water supply
using the new hose set supplied with the appliance. Old hose sets
should not be re-used. Check the hose regularly for signs of wear.
Replace it in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and water damage.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not
guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the
risk of overheating).
The machine must not be installed and operated in mobile
locations (e.g. on a ship).
Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical
data”.
If the washing machine is equipped with a mains plug, 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 dual circuit breaker must
be accessible at all times in order to disconnect the washing
machine from the mains supply. The means of disconnection must
be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring
rules.
This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be installed
by a Miele authorised technician or by Miele.
Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine is only
ensured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
Correct use
The maximum load is 7.0kg (dry laundry). See the “Programme
chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual
programmes.
Do not install your washing machine in a room where there is a
risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split, and 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 and connection – Removing the transit bars”). During
spinning, transit bars which are still in place can cause damage to
both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the tap 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
If the ventilation openings are in the base of the washing
machine, ensure that they are not obstructed by deep-pile carpet or
similar.
Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a laundry
washtub, check that the water can drain away fast enough to
prevent the laundry tub from overflowing. Secure the drain hose
against slipping. The force of the water flowing out of the hose can
dislodge it.
Make sure that no foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper
clips) find their way into the machine with the laundry. Foreign
objects can damage components of the machine (e.g. suds
container, drum). Damaged components can, in turn, 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
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. Strictly observe the
instructions for the packaging.
For textiles that have been treated with solvent-based cleaning
agents, 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 compatibility,
and other information.
Never use solvent-based detergents, e.g. those containing
benzine, in this washing machine. This may result in damage to
component parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion!
Gasoline, petroleum, kerosene, paraffin, or any easily flammable
liquid must not be stored or used near the washing machine. Risk of
fire and explosion!
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Only use dyes suitable for use in a washing machine. Always
observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Dye removers contain sulphur compounds which can cause
damage such as corrosion. Dye removers must not be used in the
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 cause corrosion 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 high-pressure cleaner or water jet to clean the
washing machine.
It is particularly important to observe the 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
immediately 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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
machine. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers
will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Miele tumble dryers and Miele washing machines can be installed
as a washer-dryer stack. This requires a Miele washer-dryer stacking
kit which can be purchased separately. Please ensure that the
washer-dryer stacking kit is suitable for your Miele tumble dryer and
your Miele washing machine.
If installing the machine on a Miele plinth (available as an optional
accessory), please make sure you order the correct one for this
washing machine.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

1. Preparing the laundry
Emptying all pockets
Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips etc.) can cause damage
to garments and to components in
the machine.
Check the laundry before washing
and remove any foreign objects.
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Pre-treating stains
Clean badly soiled areas and stains
on the textiles before washing.
Spillages should be carefully dabbed
off using a soft, colourfast cloth.
When pre-treating garments, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g.
buttons) do not come into contact
with cleaning agent.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents.
If solvent-based cleaning agents are
used, an explosive mixture can form.
Never use solvent-based cleaning
agents in the washing machine.
General tips
– Do not wash any items in this
machine which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on
the care label ( symbol).
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
– Remove or sew in any loose
underwiring in bras or shirt collar
stiffeners.
– Turn garments inside out, if
recommended by the manufacturer.
– Close any zips and Velcro fasteners
before washing.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being
rolled up inside them.
24
– Please refer to the Programme chart
for more tips.
2. Loading the washing machine
Opening the door
Reach under the door grip and pull
the door open.
Check the drum for pets or foreign
objects before loading it with
laundry.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely in
the drum.
Mixing both large and small items gives
better wash results and helps 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.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
