IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not wash articles that have
WARNING - To reduce the risk of
,
fire, electric shock or injury to
persons while using your appliance
follow basic safety precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric
current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
been previously cleaned, washed,
soaked or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable substances. These articles
give off vapors that could ignite or
explode. Do not add these items to the
washload.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot
water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several
minutes before using the washing
machine. This will release any built-up
hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time, the gas is
flammable.
Before the appliance is removed
for service or discarded, remove
the door.
Do not reach into the appliance if
the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance - if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
4
Do not tamper with
the controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically
recommended in these operating
instructions.

Before using for the first time
The appliance must be correctly
installed and connected before the
first use. Please see the "Installation
instructions".
For safety reasons, it is not possible to
run a spin cycle before the first use. A
program must be run without laundry
and without detergent to flush out any
residual water from the factory testing
process, as well as to activate the spin
cycle. Using detergent can cause
sudsing and ball valve activation,
resulting in the need to use the
maximum amount of detergent in the
future.
^ Turn on the water valve.
^ Press the "On/Off" button.
^ Select the "Extra White" program with
the program buttons.
^ Press the "Start/Stop T" button.
Once the program ends, the washer
can be used for laundry.

Page 7
Using the washer
1. Prepare and sort the laundry
Empty all pockets.
^
Foreign objects left in pockets
,
(e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.)
can cause damage to clothes and
the machine.
^ Sort the laundry.
Only wash items in the machine that are
labeled machine washable by the
manufacturer. Most garments have a
fabric care label in the collar or side
seam. Sort the laundry by care label
and color.
General tips
Dark fabrics often bleed the first few
–
times they are washed. They should
be washed seperately several times
before being included in a mixed
load.
Remove any lead weights or strips
–
from curtains before washing.
Loose undergarment underwires
–
should be removed or sewn in place
before washing.
Woolens and knitted garments
–
should be turned inside out.
– Close zippers and hooks and eyes
before washing.
– Comforter covers and pillowcases
should be fastened in order to
prevent small items from rolling
inside of them.
Do not machine wash items if it is not
recommended on the fabric care label.
^
Pretreat stains.
Tough stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee,
tea, etc.) or badly soiled areas (e.g.
collars and cuffs) should be penetrated
with a stain remover or a paste made
from powdered detergent and warm
water.
,
Do not use chemical solvents in
the machine.

2. Load the laundry
Turn on the washer using the "On/Off"
^
button.
Open the drum door using the "Door"
^
button.
Load the laundry into the drum. For
^
best results, wash mixed loads of
small and large items. This will
improve washing effectiveness and
help distribute the load evenly.
Note: Overloading the washer will
cause poor wash results and wrinkling.
^ Close the drum door.
3. Select a program
Press the "PROGRAMS" button e or
^
- until the desired program indicator
lights.
To prevent damage to the door seal
and clothing, make sure that there
are no clothes caught between the
drum door and the seal.

6. Add detergent
For optimum wash results, it is
important to use the correct amount of
detergent.
Too little detergent may cause:
Ineffective cleaning of laundry;
–
fabrics may become gray and stiff
over time.
Grease stains on the laundry.
–
Hard water deposits on the heating
–
element.
Too much detergent may cause:
– Oversudsing with minimal drum
movement; poor wash, rinse and
spin results.
– Higher water consumption through
an automatic, additional rinse cycle.
– Higher environmental burden.

formulated for front loading washing
machines.
For wool and wool blend fabrics, use a
detergent specially formulated for
woolens.
Follow instructions on the detergent
packaging for the correct use and
amount of detergent. Adjust the amount
of detergent if the load is smaller or
more or less soiled than normal.
Add detergent to the main wash

Detergent
If you are washing with liquid
^
detergent, use the liquid detergent
insert in the main wash compartment
j.
The liquid detergent insert helps to
measure the correct detergent amount.
It will prevent the detergent for the main
wash from being used during the
prewash when the "Heavy soil" option is
used.
A liquid detergent dispenser is
supplied with the machine.
Remove the insert from the
compartment j when powder
detergent is used.
,
Do not use chlorine bleach!

Page 16
Detergent
The amount of detergent used
depends on the level of soiling:
Light soiling
No soiling or stains are visible.
Normal soiling
Some visible soiling or a few light
stains.
Heavy soiling
Very visible soiling or stains.
The size of the load and the water
hardness level in your area have an
impact on the amount of detergent
necessary to obtain optimum wash
results. If you do not know the water
hardness level in your area, contact
your local water authority.

Installation
Installation site
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.
Note:
The machine must be levelled and
–
securely positioned.
To avoid vibration while spinning, the
–
machine should not be installed on
soft floor coverings.
If the installation must be on a wooden
joist floor:
^ Install the unit on a
1
23
/4" x 201/2" x 13/16" (59x52x3cm)
plywood base. Ideally the base
should be large enough to span
several joists and should be
anchored to the joists and not just the
floor boards.
It is best to install the washer in the
corner of a room, where the stability of
the floor is at its greatest.
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.
Remove the shipping struts
,
If the machine is installed on a
raised platform, it must be secured
with retaining clips. These clips are
available from your dealer or the
Miele. If installed on a masonary or
concrete base, the base should
have a
rim. This is required to prevent the
washer from vibrating off the stand
during the spin cycle.

Installation
Level the washer
To ensure smooth operation, the washer
must be level.
Failure to level the machine can result
in increased water and energy
consumption, loud noises 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:
^
Tip the machine slightly and place a
support, such as a block of wood,
underneath it.
^
Unscrew each of the four feet as
much as necessary by turning both
the foot, 1, as well as the locking ring,
2, to the left using a screwdriver.
,
CAUTION: The washer is
extremely heavy. When tipping the
machine be careful that it does not
slip.
Turn the locking ring, 2,
^
counterclockwise with the enclosed
combination wrench. Unscrew each
of the four feet as much as necessary
by turning both the foot, 1, as well as
the locking ring, 2, to the left.
^ Check that the machine stands level.
^ Once level, hold the foot, 1, steady
with a wrench. Turn the locking ring,
2, with the combination wrench
towards the machine.
,
All four locking rings must be
tight against the bottom of the
machine. In addition, check to see
that the feet were not inadvertently
unscrewed while tightening the
rings. Running a machine that is not
level or whose feet are not tight may
cause damage to both the machine
and its surrounding area.

The washing machine can be
connected to a portable water supply.
A non-return valve is not needed unless
required by building code.
The washing machine has
hoses with
3
/4" female hose thread
connections. If there is no water
hookup, contact a plumber to install a
connection. Make sure that the sealing
ring is seated properly on the hose
connector.
Replace the hose only with a genuine
Miele hose, or with a hose able to
withstand up to 145 psi (10 bar)
pressure. The water valve connector
must also be able to withstand 145 psi
(10 bar).

Water connection
Connect the cold water intake hose
(blue mark) to the cold water valve and
the hot water intake hose (red mark) to
the hot water valve.
If the machine is being connected only
to a cold water supply, both the hot and
cold water intake hoses must be
attached to the cold water valve
through the use of a Y adapter
(available at a hardware store). Both
hoses must be connected to a water
source, or the machine will not function
properly. Do not connect the washer
to hot water only.
Turn on the valve(s) and check for
leaks. The water pressure must be
within 15-145 psi (1-10 bar). If the water
pressure is greater that 145 psi
(10 bar), a pressure reducer must be
installed. If the water pressure is below
15 psi (1 bar), there will not be enough
water available for a complete fill.
Tips for a hot water connection
The hot water temperature from the
–
hot water valve must not exceed
140°F; the ideal temperature is
130°F.
If there is no water pressure at the hot
water inlet, the unit automatically
switches to cold water after several
minutes.
The water intake hoses are equipped
with screen filters. Do not remove these
filters except for cleaning.
