Caring for our environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
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!
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances / machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance or machine. Please do not therefore dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

Warning and safety instructions
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, use and maintenance. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine.
Correct usage
Only use the washing machine to
wash items which are specified by the manufacturer to be machine-wash­able on the wash-care label, and tex­tiles composed of hand-washable wool or wool blend fabrics as well as satin, lace, silk and other hand-washable garments. Any other applications may be danger­ous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install and use a damaged machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
when continuity is complete between the machine and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
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 technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

Warning and safety instructions
The Miele "Water protection
system" protects from water damage provided the following conditions have been met:
the machine is correctly plumbed in
and connected to the electricity supply.
if a fault has been identified, the
machine must be examined by a competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the machine guarantee.
Use
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Do not install your washing
machine in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. 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 fitting at the rear of the machine has been removed (see section on "Installation"). During spinning, a transit fitting which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the stopcock if the
machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
Flooding danger
If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Make sure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowing out of the hose does not dislodge it. Otherwise this will result in flooding.
Take care to ensure that foreign
objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

Warning and safety instructions
If the correct amount of detergent
is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale the machine only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. If in doubt, contact the Miele Customer Ser vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.
Textiles which have been pre-
treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such detergents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe 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 machine.
Always make sure the drum is
stationary before reaching in to remove washing. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.
Safety with children
This machine is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury do not allow children to play on or near it or to play with the controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm, and supervise children whilst you are operating the
­machine.
For machines with a ‘porthole’
door, remember that the porthole glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Do not let children touch it.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine,
switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non­compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Description of the machine
Your machine also has the following special programmes in addition to the standard Cottons and Minimum iron programmes.
Special programmes
Hygiene +
This programme kills germs and household dust mites. The holding time at a temperature of 60°C in the main wash is increased.
First wash

/
Woollens
/
Delicates and Silks / programmes
In these programmes, the laundry is washed and spun very gently to reduce creasing and the amount of ironing required, thus providing "easy care" for your laundry.
Load size indicator
The washing machine is equipped with a sensor which registers how much laundry is in the drum. This is displayed as a % figure.
Recommended detergent dose indicator
In certain programmes, when a minimum amount of laundry is loaded into the drum, the washing machine will indicate a recommended reduced amount of detergent, as a % figure. This is a % of the total amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer for a full load of laundry.

Before using for the first time
Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly installed and connected. See "Installation and connection". Also check that the drain filter is securely tightened to prevent the risk of water leaks during use.
Before using for the first time
The washing machine has a sensor which measures the amount of laundry in the drum. This determines the amount of detergent required. To allow the load size indicator to function correctly, you must first run a wash programme without any laundry without detergent

Programme sequence
This washing machine has fully electronic controls with automatic load recognition. It takes in the right amount of water required for the programme depending on the amount of laundry and its absorbency rate. This means that programme cycles and durations can vary.
The programme sequences outlined below are based on the basic programme with a full load. Additional options which can be selected have not been taken into account.
The programme sequence display shows the stage the programme has reached.

Detergent
All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable, including liquid, compact (concentrated), tablets, liquid tablets and special application detergents. Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets are suitable for full loads but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets for smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others and may not be suitable for Quick wash programmes.
Silks, woollens and knitwear containing wool mixtures and hand-washable garments should be washed using a liquid detergent specifically designed for washing woollens. Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk!
Instructions for use and recommended amounts for a full load are given on the detergent packaging.
Liquid detergent should be dispensed using a ball provided by the manufacturer for programmes without a pre-wash.
For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special container from the Miele Spare Parts department which sits in the main wash compartment j of the detergent dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and to compartment i for the pre-wash.
The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:
The quantity of laundry (follow the
machine’s dispensing recommendation and reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads as indicated on the display)
The soiling level of the laundry.
Lightly soiled Possibly slight body odour.
Normally soiled just a few slight stains.
Heavily soiled clearly visible.
– The water hardness level. Check with
your local water supplier if you do not know the water hardness level in your area.
No visible dirt or stains.
Visibly dirty and/or
Stains and soiling
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in extremely hard water areas. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener. Use a quantity of detergent as for soft water. Miele do not recommend connecting the machine to a household water softener.
Washing with several components
If you wash using several components (e.g. special application detergents), dispense them into compartment j in the following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain remover This way the agents are distributed more efficiently.
32

Fabric conditioners and liquid starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying.
Liquid starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen. N.B. Do not use liquid
starch for allergy sufferers.
Dispense according to the amount
^
specified on the packaging.
Automatic dispensing of fabric conditioner or liquid starch at the end of a programme
If liquid starch is used, it is extremely important to ensure that any liquid starch residues are removed from the machine before it is used to wash items for allergy sufferers.
After using liquid starch:

siphon tube and conditioning channel. See "Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer".

Cleaning and care
Disconnect the machine from the

Clean the casing with a mild non-
^
abrasive detergent or soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Clean the fascia panel with a damp
^
cloth and wipe dry with a soft cloth. The drum can be cleaned using a
^
suitable proprietary stainless-steel cleaning agent following the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
Do not use solvents, abrasive
,
cleaners, glass cleaners or all­purpose cleaning agents. These might damage plastic surfaces and other components because of the chemicals they contain. The washing machine must not be hosed down.
Extra cleaning
Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above) with powder detergent approx. every 6 weeks to help prevent deposits building up in the machine. These can occur when washing is mainly done at low temperatures, and also lead to unpleasant smells. If you have no reason to wash occasionally at this high temperature, then run a Cottons 95°C programme with detergent but no laundry at regular intervals.

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 following points:
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. If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable part of the floor.
Installing the washing machine

Building under a continuous worktop/in a kitchen run
A special building under conversion
kit* is required. The machine lid must be replaced by a cover plate. To ensure electrical
safety the cover plate must be fitted. N.B. If you wish to push your machine under
a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid, the conversion kit is not necessary. Otherwise the conversion kit is essential.
– For installation under a work surface
900/910 mm from the floor, a raising
kit* is required. – Connections for electricity, water and
drainage should be installed in such
a way that they remain accessible
when the machine is in place. Fitting instructions are supplied with the
conversion kit. All parts marked* are available from the
Miele Spare Parts or Sales Department.
The fitting of building under kits and stacking kits must only be undertaken by qualified and competent persons, in accordance with the instructions supplied with the kit.
Washer and Dryer stack
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. A stacking kit* is necessary and can be purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department.
Please note
a Safety distance to wall:
at least 2 cm
b Height:
Stacking kit with pull-out shelf: approx. 169 cm Stacking kit without pull-out shelf: approx. 170 cm
The load size sensor must be calibrated to zero after the washing machine has been installed and connected. See "Before using for the first time".
Replacing the lid
If the lid has been removed in order to fit a stacking kit or cover plate, ensure that, if the lid is replaced, it fits securely into the rear holders. Otherwise, it is not properly secure for transport.

Installation and connection
The Miele Waterproof system
The Miele Waterproof system protects the washing machine from water damage.
The system consists of three main components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit and the washing
machine housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
– The inlet hose is fitted with an
additional electrical safety valve
which works like an automatic
stopcock and is housed in the inlet
hose connection box. – It is pressure tested to between
7,000 and 10,000 kPa. – The inlet hose has a protective
sleeve.
2) Electronic unit and washing machine housing
Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the machine. A float switches off the safety valves, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.
Overflow protection
This prevents the washing machine taking in too much water. If the water level exceeds a certain level, the drain pump switches in and pumps the excess water away.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied completely.
Any leaking water from the inlet hose is fed into the sump through this protective sleeve. A float switches off the safety valve, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pumped away.
56
Page 57
Installation and connection
Connection to the water supply
The plastic casing of the safety
,
valve contains electrical components. The Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it.
Do not get wet.
The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with 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.
The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a reducer valve.
Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock
3
with
/4" thread. The stopcock should
be fitted by a qualified plumber.
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 union if appropriate.
The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply and connection to a household water softener is not recommended.
The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked.
57
Page 58
Installation and connection
Maintenance and care
If you intend to unscrew the Miele Waterproof system hose from the stopcock it is essential to disconnect the machine from the electricity supply first.
Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement.
In order to protect the water inlet valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet valve connection must not be removed.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose is available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department as an optional extra.
This hose is tested to withstand pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can be used as a flexible extension to the water supply.
N.B. Using this hose renders the Waterproof system safety valve on the inlet hose ineffective.
58
Page 59
Installation and connection
Connection to the drainage system
The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre*.
The drain hose must not be kinked as this restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at the end of the hose can be turned in either direction, or can be detached if required, with a sharp twist and pull.
If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 5 m. The necessary parts can be purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m (up to a maximum of 1.8 m) a second duo-drain pump is available with the corresponding kit from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note the following
Hook the hose over the edge and
secure. Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance. Otherwise there is a risk of water overflowing or of some of the drained water being sucked back into the machine.
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no need to use a non-return valve.
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
