Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing materials
The packing materials protect the
washer from damage during shipping.
They have been selected with an eye to
environmental compatibility and
efficient disposal, and should be
recycled.
Returning packaging to the materials
cycle helps conserve raw materials and
reduces waste. The packing materials
can be returned to your dealer.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Old electric and electronic equipment
often contains valuable materials.
However, they may also contain harmful
substances that were necessary for
safe use. Improperly disposing of these
items in your household waste can be
detrimental to health and the
environment. This is why it is important
NEVER to dispose of your old
appliance with the regular household
garbage.
Instead, please contact your local
community waste collection point to
return and recycle electric and
electronic appliances. Your dealer
should be able to provide you with
details.
If the appliance is being stored for
disposal, please make sure it has been
child-proofed.

Important safety instructions
This washer complies with all
applicable safety laws and
regulations. Inappropriate use can,
however, lead to personal injury and
property damage.
Please thoroughly read these
instructions before first using the
appliance. They contain important
information on the safe installation,
operation, and care of your
appliance. They are intended to
help prevent personal injury and
damage to the appliance.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to
any future owner.
The W 1753 meets all CSA
requirements. This machine is not
approved for use in the United
States.
Individuals who are incapable of
~
using the appliance safely because of
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or because of a lack of
experience or knowledge, must not use
this appliance without supervision or
instruction by a responsible person.
Children around the appliance
Supervise any children in the vicinity
~
of the appliance. Never allow children
to play with the appliance.
Children must not use the washer
~
unsupervised unless they have
received sufficient instruction to
operate it safely. They must be able to
recognize the potential hazards of
improper operation.
Remember that high wash
~
temperatures will make the porthole
glass hot.
Teach children not to touch the glass
while the washer is in operation.
Proper use
The washing machine is designed
~
for household use only and only for
washing textiles whose fabric care label
states that they can be washed. Other
uses may be dangerous. Miele will not
be held liable for damage caused by
improper use or incorrect operation.
6
Important safety instructions
Technical safety
Check the washer for externally
~
visible damage before installation.
Do not install or operate a damaged
washer.
Before plugging in the appliance,
~
you must make sure that the electrical
rating (fuse amperage, voltage and
connected load in watts, indicated on
the data plate) matches the household
electrical supply. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
The washer can only be considered
~
safe if it has been connected to a
properly installed grounding system, as
per code.
It is crucial to have this essential safety
requirement tested, and to have the
household wiring checked by a
professional if there is any doubt.
Miele will not be held liable for any
damage or harm caused by a missing
or incomplete grounding system.
For safety reasons, do not use
~
extension cords (danger of fire from
overheating).
Use only genuine Miele replacement
~
parts to replace defective components.
Only these parts are guaranteed to
meet applicable safety requirements.
Unauthorized repairs may create
~
unforeseeable risks for the user, for
which Miele assumes no liability.
Repairs should be carried out only by
authorized Miele technicians otherwise, associated damage will not
be covered by the warranty.
If the power cord is damaged it
~
must be replaced by an authorized
Miele technician to prevent danger to
the user.
In the event of a fault, or for care
~
and cleaning, the washer is only
considered disconnected from the
power supply, when
– the plug is completed removed from
the socket, or
– the circuit breaker for the house
wiring system is completely shut off,
or
– the screw-out fuse in the house
wiring system is unscrewed and
removed.
Use only a new hose kit to attach the
~
washer to the household water supply.
Old hosing should not be re-used.
7
Important safety instructions
The appliance is not designed for
~
use in non-stationary locations (for
example, on ships). However, this use
may be possible if a qualified specialist
determines that the appliance can be
used safely in the location in question.
Make no modifications to the washer
~
that are not expressly authorized by
Miele.
Proper use
Do not place the washer in a room
~
where there is a risk of frost occurring.
Frozen hoses can split or burst, and the
reliability of the electronics can be
reduced below the freezing point.
Before using the washer for the first
~
time, remove the shipping rods on the
back of the appliance (see "Installation
and connection" under "Removing the
transport fittings"). Failure to remove the
shipping rods can damage the washer
and any surrounding furniture or
devices during spinning.
For extended absences (e.g., a
~
vacation), close the taps, especially if
there is no gully near the washer.
Danger of flooding!
~
Before hanging the drain hose in the
washbasin, make sure the water will
drain away quickly enough.
Secure the hose from slipping. The
force of the water exiting the hose can
cause an unsecured hose to pop out of
the basin.
Ensure that no foreign bodies (e.g.,
~
nails, needles, coins, paper clips) are in
the wash. Foreign bodies can damage
the appliance components (e.g., suds
container, washer drum). Damaged
components, in turn, can damage
laundry items.
Proper dosing of the detergent will
~
eliminate the need to remove lime
deposits. However, if heavy limescale
nonetheless forms on your washer, be
sure to select a special descaling agent
with corrosion protection. This special
product can be obtained from your
Miele dealer or from Miele Customer
Service. Closely follow the instructions
on the product package.
8
Important safety instructions
Textiles that have been pre-treated
~
with solvent-based cleaners must be
rinsed thoroughly in water before you
wash them.
NEVER use solvent-based cleaners
~
(e.g., benzine) in the washing machine.
The use of such products can damage
the appliance and generate noxious
fumes. Fire hazard and danger of
explosion!
NEVER use solvent-based cleaners
~
(e.g., benzine) on or around the
washing machine. Splatters can
damage the plastic surfaces of the
appliance.
Do not use dyes unless they are
~
recommended for use in washing
machines. Dyes are to be used in
reasonable (household) quantities only.
Closely follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Colour removers contain sulphur
~
compounds, which can lead to
corrosion. Therefore, do not use colour
removers in the washer.
Accessories
Only use accessories that are
~
expressly authorized by Miele.
If other parts are used, the appliance
warranty and any associated
performance and/or product liability
claims become null and void.
The manufacturer will not be held
liable for damage caused by failure
to comply with the safety instructions
and warnings.
If liquid detergent comes into
~
contact with the eyes, immediately flush
with copious amounts of lukewarm
water. If accidentally swallowed, imme
diately seek medical attention. Persons
with sensitive or damaged skin should
avoid contact with liquid detergents.

Operating the washing machine
Program duration
Once a program starts, the estimated
program duration (in hours and
minutes) is displayed.
During the first 8 minutes of the
program, the washer calculates the
quantity and absorbency of the laundry.
This can cause an increase or
decrease in program times.
Programmable functions
The following functions are selected
from the display:
– wash temperature
– spin speed
– programmable functions
– program cancel
– childproof (safety) lock
The display also shows:
– program duration
–
program sequence
The programmable functions can be
used to adapt the washer to your
personal requirements. In programming
mode, the display will show the function
selected.
11
Before using for the first time
Before the washer is used for the
first time, it needs to be properly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection".
Setting the language
You will be prompted to select the
desired display language. You can
change the language at any time
through the programmable functions.
Because the washer was put through
a complete operational test in the
factory, there will be some water left
in the drum.
For safety reasons, the washer will not
spin until it has been prepared for use.
To activate the spinning function, you
will need to run a wash program without
laundry and without detergent.
If you use detergent, it will cause
excessive sudsing.
This preparation step also activates the
ball valve in the drain. Once activated,
the ball valve helps prevent detergent
escaping from the suds container into
the drain during a wash program, thus
ensuring maximum use of the
detergent.
^
Press the _ button in.
If the washer is being switched on for
the first time, the welcome screen will
appear.
The welcome screen will appear in
the display every time the washer is

longer than 1 hour has been
completed.
! deutsch
Turn the program selector to select
^
the desired display language. Use
the Start/Stop button to confirm your
selection.
Reminder to remove the shipping
rods

12
Environmentally friendly use
Energy and water consumption
To make the most out of each wash
–
load, load the maximum dry weight
for the program you have selected.
Use the Colours and Express
–
programs for small loads.
When smaller amounts of laundry are
–
washed using the Normal program,
the automatic load recognition
system will automatically reduce the
water, energy, and time for that load.
This may cause a correction in the
remaining time displayed for the
wash.
– To save energy, all wash programs
with a temperature setting of 40°C or
above will draw from the hot water
supply. The only exception is the
Wool program, which protects
garments by avoiding the use of hot
water.
Detergent consumption
Do not exceed the maximum
–
detergent dose listed on the
package.
Adjust the detergent dose to suit how
–
soiled the laundry is.
For smaller loads, reduce the amount
–
(approx.
1
/3less detergent for a half
load).
Choosing the right extra options
(Exended and Pre-wash)
Select:
– a wash program together with NO
extra option for lightly to moderate
soiled items with no obvious staining
– a wash program with Exended extra
options for moderate to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– The Heavy Soil extra option for
laundry with large amounts of dirt
(e.g., dust, sand).
When drying with a tumble dryer
To help save energy when using a
dryer, select the highest possible spin
speed for the wash program in
question.

How to wash correctly
Brief instructions
The bold headings numbered(A, B,
C, ...) show the overall sequence of
steps, and may be used as short-cut
instructions.
A Prepare the laundry
^ Empty all pockets.
,
Foreign objects (e.g., nails,
coins, paper clips) can damage
garments and the washer itself.
Pre-treat stains
^
Before washing, treat fabrics to
loosen stains; it is best to do so while
the stains are still fresh. Blot stains
with a colourfast cloth to remove. Do
not rub.
When pre-treating fabrics with
,
solvent-based products (gasoline,
for example), make sure that the
product does NOT come into
contact with any plastic parts.
NEVER use solvent-based
,
cleaners (e.g., gasoline, cleaner's
solvent) on or around the washing
machine.
Sort the laundry
^ Sort garments by colour and care
requirements (see collar or side
seam for garment tags).
Dark items may bleed colour for the first
few washes. To avoid staining, take
care to wash light and dark items
separately.
General information:
– Curtains: Remove any curtain
hardware or weights, or tie the
curtains in a laundry bag.
–
Stitch down or remove any loose
underwires in bras.
–
Close any zippers, hooks and eyes
before washing.
Common stains (blood, egg, coffee,
tea, etc.) can typically be addressed
with the help of the Miele laundry care
guide. For a copy, contact Miele
directly, or visit the Miele Website.
14
–
Close duvet covers and pillowcases
to prevent small items from getting
inside.
Do not wash items that are labelled Do
not wash (Care symbol h).
How to wash correctly
B Switch the washer on
C Load the washer
Press theDoor button to open the
^
drum door.
Unfold the laundry and load it loosely
^
into the drum. Mixing both large and
small items in a load gives better
wash results and helps distribute the
load evenly during the spin cycle(s).
Loading to the maximum listed amount
helps keep energy and water
consumption as low as possible,
proportionate to other load sizes.
However, overloading diminishes wash
performance and leads to creasing.
Check that no items are trapped
between the drum door and the door
seal.
D Select program
^ Turn the program selector right or left
to select the desired program. A
program is selected when the
indicator light next to the program

Liquid detergents usually
do not contain bleaching
agents. They may fail to
remove fruit, coffee and
tea stains..
Not enough detergent
was used to break down
the grease in heavily
soiled laundry.
Some powdered
detergents contain an
insoluble mineral
ingredient (zeolites) that
acts as a water softener.
This can form a deposit
on fabrics.
Use powdered detergent that
–
contains bleach.
Load the detergent into the
–
compartment j.
Never load liquid detergent
–
and a stain remover together
into the dispenser drawer.
For heavily soiled laundry,
–
you can add more powdered

detergent.
– Before washing the next
load, run the 60°C wash
program with liquid
detergent, but no laundry in
the machine.
– Once the laundry is dry, try
using a brush to remove the
flecks.
–
In the future, use detergents
without added water softener
to wash your dark items.
Most liquid detergents do not

Installation and connection
Installation surface
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.
Please note:
The machine must be level and
^
securely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
^
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
^ We recommend a plywood base (at
least 59x52x3 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.
Transporting the washing machine to
its installation site
To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installation site hold
it by the edge of the lid where it
protrudes to the rear of the washing
machine as well as by the front feet.
Ensure that the machine feet and
,
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
Removing the transit bars
,
If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it has to be secured
against slippage during spin using
retaining clips (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise
there is the danger of the machine
moving about and falling off the
plinth.

withdraw the transit bar.
45
Installation and connection
To avoid the risk of injury the
,
holes for the transit bars must be
covered after the transit bars have
been removed.
^ Plug the holes with the plastic caps
as illustrated.
Secure the transit bars to the back of
^
the washing machine. Make sure that
the top catch is located above the
holder.
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).
46
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
Levelling the machine
To ensure safe and proper operation,
the washer must stand perfectly level
on all four feet.
Improper footing may increase water
and power consumption, and may
cause the washer to wander across the
floor.
Screw out and adjust the feet
Use the four adjustable feet to level the
washer. The washer is delivered with all
four feet in the shortest (screwed in)
position.
Installation and connection
Use a level to check that the washer
^
is standing square.
^ Hold the foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Now use the combination
wrench to screw the counternut 2
firmly back up against the housing.
,
All four counternuts must be
tightened firmly up against the
housing. Be sure to also check this
on the feet that did not require
levelling. Otherwise, the washer may
wander about.
^
Use the combination wrench
provided to turn the counternut 2
counterclockwise. Then turn the
counter nut 2 together with the foot 1
to unscrew.

Installation and connection
The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system
protects the washer from water
damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the washer electronics and housing
3) the drain hose
1) The inlet hose
– Hose burst protection
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than 7000 kPa.
2) The electronics and housing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the washer. A
float then switches off the inlet
valves, preventing any additional
water inflow, and any water in the
suds container is pumped away.
–
Overflow protection
This feature helps prevent the
washer from taking in too much
water. If the water exceeds a certain
level, the drain pump starts and
pumps away the water.
3) The drain hose
Connecting to the water
supply
The washer is designed to comply with
applicable CSA standards, for
connection to a tap water line. It does
not require a non-return valve.
The flow pressure must be between
100 kPa and 1000 kPa. If the pressure
is above 1000 kPa, a
pressure-reducing valve MUST be
installed.
Two stopcocks with
required for connecting to the water
supply. If these are not available, you
will need to have a qualified plumber fit
the washer to the water supply.
The screw fittings are under
,
pressure from the water line. To
check that the connections are
watertight, slowly open the taps.
Correct the placement of the washer
and union as needed.
Maintenance and care
If the hose ever needs to be replaced,
use only a genuine Miele hose - it is
tested to withstand pressure of at least
7000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filter screens (one
in the open end of the inlet hose, the
other in the inlet point in the washer)
should not be removed.
3
/4" thread are
The drain hose is equipped with a
ventilation system that prevents the
washer from being emptied
accidentally.
Optional extension hose
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from your Miele dealer or
Miele Customer Service.
49
Installation and connection
This washer uses hot and cold
household water.
The washer must always be
connected to a tap water line (cold
water, inlet hose with blue tag).
Tap water line (cold water)
The tap water connection is established
using the inlet hose with the blue
marking.
If the washer is connected to this line
only, the appliance will need to be
re-programmed to cold water fill only.
Please contact your Miele dealer or
Miele Customer Service for
reprogramming instructions.
The second unused inlet hose, with the
red tag, will be attached to the rear of
the washer after re-programming.
Hot water connection
Tips for the hot water connection
The hot water temperature at the
–
stopcock must not exceed 60°C, and
the ideal temperature is 55°C.
If the hot water inlet is closed, the
–
washer will automatically switch over
to tap water mode after a period of
time. This safety feature is not
intended for long-term use. The
washer will continue to wash in hot
water mode, which can lead to a
poor wash result.
The hot water connection is established
using the inlet hose with the red
marking.
50
Drainage system
The appliance drains through a pump
with a 1m delivery head. For the water
to drain freely, the hose must be free of
kinks. The swivel elbow at the end of
the hose can be turned in either
direction, or removed as needed with a
sharp twist and pull.
If required, the hose can be extended
to a length of 5m. The necessary parts
can be ordered through your Miele
dealer or Miele Customer Service.
For delivery heads over 1m (up to a
max. of 1.8 m), contact your Miele
Customer Service for a replacement
pump and with a part # 1053992.
Drain hose connection:
1. Hang directly into a washbasin or
sink:
Installation and connection
Please note:
– Secure the hose over the edge so
that it will not slip.
–
Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance.
Otherwise, the water could overflow
or be sucked back up into the
washing machine.
2. Connect securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber sleeve (not-return
valve not required).
3. Connect securely to a floor gully.
4. Attach to a washbasin with a plastic
fitting.
