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.
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 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
appliance (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
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.

Warning and safety instructions
The Miele "Waterproof 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
appliance 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 appliance 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 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
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, e.g. those
containing benzene, as this may result
in damage to component parts and
create toxic fumes. Such agents 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 may 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
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Brief instructions
The headings numbered A, B, C, . . .
show the operating sequence and can
be used as brief instructions.
A Sort the laundry
^ Empty all pockets.
,
Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to garments and
components in the machine.
^
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated
with liquid detergent, stain removers
etc. first, following the manufacturer's
instructions. With particularly stubborn
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
If you use a solvent-based cleaning
agent (e.g. one containing benzene)
to pre-treat a stain, make sure that
any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) are
protected, and that the cleaning
agent is rinsed off before washing
the garment in the machine.
Do not use solvent-based
,
cleaning agents in this machine.
Sort the laundry by colour and by

care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately
several times first. Always wash whites
and coloureds separately.
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
–
Knitted garments, trousers and
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn
inside out, if recommended by the
manufacturer.
–
Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.

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. Extras
which can be selected have not been
taken into account.
The programme sequence display
shows the stage the programme has
reached.
Special features in the programme
sequences:
Anti-crease:
At the end of every programme, with
the exception of
Woollens
, the drum
continues to turn at intervals for up to
30 minutes to help prevent creasing.
The door can be opened and laundry
removed at any time during the
anti-crease phase.
1)
A third rinse is carried out if:
there is too much foam in the drum

Detergent
All modern detergents produced for
automatic front loading washing
machines are suitable, including liquid,
compact (concentrated), tablets and
special application detergents. Use
dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are
supplied with the detergent.
Woollens and knitwear containing wool
mixtures and hand-washable garments
should be washed using a detergent
specifically designed for washing
woollens.
Silk 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!
Add detergent according to the
amount recommended on the
packaging. Detergent designed for
vertical axis top loading washing
machines are not suitable for use in
Miele washing machines as they
may cause oversudsing.
The soiling level of the laundry.
–
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavily soiled
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
Water softeners
A water softener such as Calgon 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.
Washing with several components
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)
30
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment j in the
following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain remover, e.g. Biotex
This way the agents are distributed
more efficiently.
Page 31
Fabric conditioners and liquid
starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
and fluffy to handle and help prevent
static cling when tumble drying.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items
of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and
bed linen.

^ The drum can be cleaned using a
suitable proprietary stainless-steel
cleaning agent following the
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
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.
Cleaning the detergent
dispenser drawer
Remove detergent residues regularly.
,
Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or
all-purpose cleaning agents.
These might damage plastic
surfaces and other components
because of the chemicals they
contain.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals. It can be washed 300 times.

^
1. Remove the siphon from
compartment § and rinse under
warm running water. Clean the

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filter in the water
inlet
The washing machine has a filter to
protect the water inlet valve.
The accessible filter in the union in the
open end of the inlet hose should be
checked every six months, or more
often if there are frequent interruptions
to the external water supply.
First turn off the stopcock.
^
Unscrew the threaded union
^
connecting the free end of the inlet
hose to the stopcock.
^ Remove the rubber seal 1 from the
recess.
^ Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar 2 and remove.
^ Clean the plastic filter.
^ Put the filter and seal back in the
reverse order and reconnect the
hose.
34
Turn on the stopcock and check the
connection is watertight. If water drips
out, tighten the connection.
Never forget to put the filter back in
place after cleaning.

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 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
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 handle
recesses at the front.
Please note:
Do not lift the machine by the drum
^
door.
Ensure that the machine feet and
,
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
Removing the transit fittings
,
If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it has to be secured
against slippage during spinning
using retaining clips (available from
the Miele Spare Parts Dept).
^
To remove the left and right covers
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the
cover as illustrated.
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

be moved without the transit bars in
place.
Store the transit bars 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).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
^
Secure the transit bars to the back of
the washing machine. Make sure that
holes b are fitted over retainers a.

Installation and connection
Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level
on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
Using the spanner supplied turn
^
counter nut 2 in a clockwise
direction. Then turn counter nut 2
together with foot 1 to unscrew.
Incorrect installation may increase
electricity and water consumption and
may cause the machine to move about.
False values may also show in the
Load % and Detergent % display.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
The four adjustable screw feet are used
to level the machine. All four feet are
screwed in when the machine is
delivered.
^ Use a spirit level to check the
machine is standing level.
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again
using the spanner supplied until it
sits firmly up against the housing.
,
All four counternuts must be
firmly up against the housing. Please
also check this for the feet which did
not need adjustment. Otherwise
there is the danger of the machine
moving about.

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.
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
Fitting instructions are supplied with the
conversion kit.
All parts marked* are available from the
Miele Spare Parts or Sales Department.
The fitting of cover plates and
stacking kits must only be
undertaken by qualified and
competent persons, in accordance
with the instructions supplied with
the kit.
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:

,
A washer and dryer should
never be stacked without using the
proper stacking kit. Doing so is
extremely dangerous, as the dryer
may vibrate off of the washing
machine during use.

Installation and connection
The Miele Waterproof system
The Miele Waterproof system protects
all parts of the washing machine from
water damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hoses
2) the electronic unit and the washing
machine housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hoses
– The inlet hoses are fitted with
additional electrical safety valves
which work like automatic stopcocks
and are housed in the inlet hose
connection boxes.
– They are pressure proof to between
7000 and 10000 kPa.
– The inlet hoses have a protective
sleeve.
2) Electronic unit and washing
machine housing
Sump
–
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the appliance. A
float switches off the water inlet
valves, preventing water 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 on and pumps
the 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 the
protective covering which surrounds
the inlet hose as a "second skin". The
float switches off the safety valves,
preventing water flowing into the
machine and water in the suds
container is pumped away.

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. A flexible metal
extension hose, available from your
Miele dealer or the Miele Spare
Parts Department as an optional
extra, should be used if necessary.
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
Connection to a household water
softener is not recommended.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 100
and 1000 kPa. If it is higher than
1000 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 points are
,
subject to mains water pressure.
Turn on the stopcocks slowly and
check for leaks. Correct the position
of the washer and union if
appropriate.
Maintenance and care
Do not dip into any liquid.
The protective sleeve of the hose
must not be damaged or kinked.
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 14000 kPa and can
be used as a flexible extension to the
water supply.
53
Page 54
Installation and connection
Connection to the water supply
The washing machine must always
be connected to the mains water
supply (inlet hose with blue dots).
Cold water connection (mains water
supply)
The inlet hose with blue dots is used for
mains water connection.
Hot water connection
The inlet hose with red dots is used for
connection to the hot water supply.
Useful hints when connecting to the hot
and cold water supply.
The maximum temperature at the
–
stocpcock must not exceed 60C.
The ideal temperature is 55C.
When connected to the hot (and
–
cold) water supply, after some time
the washing machine will switch over
to the mains (cold) water supply if no
hot water is being supplied.
However, this can lead to a poor
washing result.
The conditions for connection are
described on the following pages.
This appliance incorporates
backflow protection complying with
AS/NZS 3500.1.2.
No further backflow protection
required for connection to the water
supply.

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.

Installation and connection
Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug for
connection to a 230-240V mains
supply. The voltage, rated load and
plug rating are given on the data plate.
Please ensure these match the
household mains supply.
The accesibility of the plug must be
always ensured, in order to separate
the washing machine from the mains.
All electrical work should be carried out
only by a suitably qualified and
competent person, in strict accordance
with national and local safety
regulations.
For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD), with a
trip current of 30 mA.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance until after installation work
has been carried out.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switching socket which is
easily accessible after installation, in
order to separate the washing machine
from the mains.
Do not connect via an extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
