The packaging is designed to protect
the machine 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. 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!
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines
often contain valuable materials. They
also 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 machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Children 8 years and older may use, clean or maintain the
~
washing machine without supervision only if they have been shown
how to do so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
~
machine unless they are constantly supervised.

~
not allow children to play with it or near it, or to play with the
controls.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
~
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged washing machine.
Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the
~
connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be
~
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is observed 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).
Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity
~
supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
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.
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
~
and "Technical data".
The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to
~
disconnect the washing machine from the electricity supply.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
~
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician.
If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a
~
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the
~
event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.
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.
In 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 guarantee.
This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
~
on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the washing machine, unless
~
authorised to do so by Miele.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 5.5 kg. See
~
the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in
individual programmes.
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
~
bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation
and connection - Removing the transit bars"). During spinning, a
transit bar 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 that the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water
flowing out of the hose does not dislodge it.
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.
11
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
it, only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly
observe the instructions on the packaging. A special descaling
agent is available to order from Miele (see "Optional accessories").
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
~
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being
washed in the machine.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
~
benzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component
parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and
explosion hazard.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
~
benzine to clean the outside surfaces of this machine. They can
cause damage to plastic surfaces.
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.
If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them
~
thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek
medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label
for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should
avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing
~
machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional
accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the
Miele washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.
If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an
~

Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption
Water consumption and energy
–
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
When smaller amounts of laundry are
–
washed, the automatic load
recognition system will reduce the
amount of water, time and energy
used. This may mean that the time
left shown in the display is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
– Use the Express 20 programme for
small loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g
20°C). Washing using lower
temperature settings will save
energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the
washing machine carry out a hot
wash (60°C or above) using powder
detergent at regular intervals. The
Hygiene info message will appear in
the display to remind you to carry out
a hot wash.
Detergent
Do not exceed the amounts of
–
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
Adjust the dosage to the degree of
–
soiling of the laundry.
Choosing the correct Extra option
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
A wash programme together with the
–
Short extra option for light soiling
where there are no obvious marks.
– A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak extra option for heavily soiled
laundry.
– The Pre-wash extra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,
sand).
When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
25
1. Prepare the laundry
Empty all pockets.
^
Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to textiles and to
components in the machine.
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated
with liquid detergent, stain removers
etc. first, following the manufacturer's
instructions.
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.
General tips
Sorting laundry
^ 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 before being included in
a mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
Removing marks
^
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.
26
– 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.
–
Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.
–
Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from
being rolled up inside them.
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label (h symbol).
