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.

Warning and safety instructions

This washing machine complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to per­sonal injury and damage to property.

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washing
machine. They contain important information on safety, installa­tion, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and
damage to the washing machine.

In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the washing machine as well as the safety in­structions and warnings.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.

When instructing other people how to use the washing machine,
they must be made aware of these safety and warning instruc­tions.

Appropriate use

 The washing machine is only suitable for washing fabrics with a

care label stating that they are suitable for machine washing. Any
other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or
operation of the machine.

 This washing machine must be used as described in the operating

instructions and must be checked on a regular basis to make sure it
is functioning correctly. Maintenance must be carried out when ne­cessary.

 The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.
 This washing machine may also be operated in public areas.

6

Warning and safety instructions

 This washing machine can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the con­sequences of incorrect operation.

 Children under the age of 8 must not be allowed near the washing

machine unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children over the age of 8 may only use the washing machine

without supervision if its operation has been clearly explained to
them and they are able to use it safely. Children must be able to un­derstand and recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect
operation.

 Children may not carry out cleaning or maintenance on the wash-

ing machine unsupervised.

 Always supervise any children in the vicinity of the washing ma-

chine. Never allow children to play with the washing machine.

7

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”.

8

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.

9

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.

 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 it is intended for. It is not suitable for
room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele au­thorised person or the Miele Service Department.

 Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be

assured if it has been correctly connected to the mains electricity
supply.

Correct use

 The maximum dry laundry weight is 7.0kg. 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.

10

Warning and safety instructions

 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. In
particular, shake out any metal swarf which could be in the cleaning
cloths before washing. 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

11

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.

12

Warning and safety instructions

Accessories

 Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by

Miele. If other parts are used, warranty, performance, and product li­ability claims will be invalidated.

 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 connection kit is suitable for the Miele tumble dryer
and the 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.

can cause damage to textiles and
components in the machine.

Check the mops or the laundry be­fore washing and remove any foreign
objects.

 Damage due to solvent-based

detergents.
Cleaning agents containing benzine,

stain remover, etc., can damage
plastic parts.

When pre-treating textiles, make sure
that plastic parts do not come into
contact with the detergent.

 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.

Sorting mops, cleaning cloths, etc.

 Separate the mops, cleaning cloths

and pads.

 Shake mops, cleaning cloths and

pads out well to get rid of coarse soil­ing before placing them in the drum.

Sorting the laundry

 Empty all pockets.
 Badly soiled areas and stains should

be cleaned as soon as possible.
Stains should be carefully dabbed off
using a soft, colourfast cloth.

 Sort the laundry according to colour

and the garment care label.

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 consumption is achieved when
a full load is washed. However, do not
overload as this reduces cleaning effi­ciency and causes creasing.

Problem solving guide

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Cause 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.

Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.

40

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.

General problems

Problem Cause and remedy

The machine shakes
during the spin cycle.

Large amounts of deter­gent residue remain in
the detergent dispenser
drawer.

Fabric softener is not
completely dispensed
or too much water re­mains in the com­partment.

The display is in a dif­ferent language.

The laundry has not
been spun properly. The
laundry is still wet.

The drum remains sta­tionary but the pro­gramme keeps running.

The machine feet are not level and not secured.
 Level the machine and adjust the feet correctly.

The water pressure is too low.
 Clean the filters in the water inlet.

Powder detergent used in conjunction with water
softeners tends to become sticky.

 Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and, in fu-

ture, add detergent into the drawer first, and then
add the water softener.

The siphon tube is not correctly positioned or is
clogged.

 Clean the siphon, see “Cleaning and care – Clean-

ing the detergent dispenser compartment”.

A different language has been selected.
 Switch the washing machine off and on again.

The selected operator language appears in the dis­play.

The operator language has been changed.
 Select the language you require (see “Language”

under “Supervisor level”).

The machine detected a high level of imbalance dur­ing the final spin and reduced the spin speed auto­matically.

 Include both large and small items in the load as

this will achieve better distribution.

 Switch the washing machine off and then back on

with the button.

 Note the message in the display.
 Touch the Start/Stopsensor control.

The drum continues to spin and the programme con­tinues.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

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 100kPa and must not ex­ceed 1000kPa. If the pressure exceeds
1000kPa, 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.

Switching to cold water operation

If the washing machine is not connec­ted to a hot water point, you will have to
configure the settings Main wash water,
Pre-wash water and Rinse water to cold
(see “Supervisor level”).

 Unscrew the hot water hose.
 Screw on the stopper provided.

Maintenance

Only use genuine Miele hoses that have
been tested to withstand pressure of at
least 7000kPa should you ever need a
replacement.

A filter is located in the intake point
to protect the water inlet valve.

Neither filter may be removed.

Hose extension

Longer hoses are available from Miele
or from your Miele dealer as accessor­ies.

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.

55

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Hot water connection*

The hot water temperature must not ex­ceed 70°C (60 °C in the UK).
To minimise energy consumption during
operation with hot water, the washing
machine should be connected to a suit­able hot water ring circuit. So-called
“transmission pipes” (single pipes to
hot water generators) can result in any
water remaining in the pipes cooling
down if not in constant use. More en­ergy would then be consumed to heat
the liquid up again.

The same connection requirements as
for cold water also apply to hot water.

The inlet hose is connected to the stop­cock.

The washing machine cannot only be
connected to a hot water connection.

* Some machine versions do not come
with a hot water hose.

Switching to hot water operation

If the washing machine is due to be
connected to a hot water point, you can
configure the settings Main wash water,
Pre-wash water and Rinse water to hot
(see “Supervisor level”).

 Unscrew the stopper from the hot

water valve.

 Screw on the hot water hose.

56

*INSTALLATION*

Drainage

Drain valve

The machine is drained using a motor­ised drain valve. A DN70 angle con­nector can be used for draining the ma­chine via an on-site floor drain (gully
with odour trap).

Drain pump

The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m 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).

Installation

2. Connected securely to a washbasin
with a plastic nipple.

3. Connected securely to a floor drain
(gully).

If required, the hose can be extended to
a length of up to 5m. Accessories are
available from Miele or from your Miele
dealer.

For a drain height of more than 1m (up
to a max. of 1.6m), a replacement drain
pump is available from Miele or from
your Miele dealer.

Installation

Electrical connection

This description applies to washing
machines both with and without a
mains plug.

The following applies to washing ma­chines with a mains plug:

- The washing machine is ready to be
connected.

- The electrical socket must be easily
accessible after installation so that
the machine can be disconnected
from the electricity supply if neces­sary.

 Damage caused by incorrect

supply voltage.
The data plate indicates the nominal

power consumption and the appro­priate fuse rating.

Compare the specifications on the
data plate with those of the mains
electricity supply and make sure that
they match.

The washing machine may only be con­nected to a permanent electrical system
that conforms to the national and local
codes and regulations.

Do not connect the machine to an ex­tension lead or multi-socket adapter as
they do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).

relays according to IEC/EN60947). This
connection process must be performed
by a qualified electrician.

The plug connector or isolator switch
should be easily accessible at all times.

 Risk of electric shock.

If the washing machine is disconnec­ted from the mains, protective meas­ures must be taken to ensure that the
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 3mm
in the isolator switch (including mini­ature circuit breaker, switch, fuses and
