Warning and safety instructions
Warning and safety instructions
Read the operating instructions before using this machine for the first
time. They contain important information about the safety, use and
maintenance of the machine. This
way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine.
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.
This appliance should not be oper-
ated by children. Supervise its use
by the elderly or infirm.
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 (fusing, voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
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
regularly tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which the manufacturer cannot accept
responsibility. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved
engineer.
Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
The machine is only completely iso-
lated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
6
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 ma-
chine 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.
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
Do not install your washing ma-
chine 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 ma-
chine 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 washing. These
may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum),
which in turn can result in damage to
the washing.

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.
Accessories
Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability
claims may be invalidated.
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by
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 washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
Dye removers may contain sulphur
compounds which cause damage
such as corrosion. Do not use dye
removers in this 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.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
unplug it. Render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.
Always make sure the drum is sta-
tionary before reaching in to
remove washing. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Description of the appliance
Display
The following functions are shown in
the display:
– duration (Time remaining display)
– delay start
– programmable functions
Duration of the programme
If a programme without delay start has
been selected, the maximum duration
(wash time) of the programme in hours
and minutes will appear in the display
after the start of the programme.
In the:
– COTTONS
– MINIMUM IRON
– Mixed wash
programmes, the washing machine
measures the amount of water being
taken up by the laundry and uses this
to calculate the load during the first 10
minutes. If the machine recognises a
smaller load it will shorten the programme time by up to 60 minutes. The
shortened time is achieved by, for
example, reducing the number of
rinses.
Delay start
The delay start time selected will appear in the display.
After the machine has started, the
delay start time counts down. If the
delay start is over 10 hours, it will count
down by the hour. If it is less than 9
hours and 59 minutes it will count down
minute by minute.
Once the delay start period is completed the programme begins and the
actual programme duration shows in
the display.
Programmable functions
The programmable functions can be
used to tailor washing programmes to
suit your individual requirements. The
function selected is displayed in programming mode.
Soak
If a soak time has been selected, this is
added to the programme wash time in
the display to give a total running time.

Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time
Before using the machine for the
first time ensure that it is correctly installed and connected. See the relevant section under “Installation”.
Also check that the fluff filter is securely tightened. Otherwise there is
a risk of water leakage during use.
For safety reasons spinning is not
possible until the machine has been
prepared for using for the first time. To
activate the spinning function you must
run a wash programme
laundry.
This also activates the ball valve. The
ball valve prevents detergent escaping
from the suds container into the sump
during a wash programme, thus making maximum use of the detergent.
without any
The wash programme must be run
out detergent. Using detergent could
result in an excessive build-up of foam.
Turn on the stopcock.
Press the I-ON/0-OFF button in.
Turn the programme selector to

Washing environmentally and economically
Washing environmentally and economically
– Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load. Load to the maximum recommended for the programme selected.
– To save energy wash normally and
lightly soiled laundry at lower temperatures. The 95°C Cottons pro-
gramme is probably only needed in
exceptional circumstances, e.g. for
oil based stains or where a very hot
wash is required.
– Use the Mixed wash or the Quick
wash programme for smaller
amounts of laundry.
– A main wash (programme without
pre-wash) is sufficient for cleaning
normally soiled laundry.
– By using the additional option Soak
for heavily soiled laundry you can select a lower temperature in the main
wash.
– Use the Short wash option for nor-
mally or very lightly soiled laundry.
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent which may be recommended
by the manufacturer on the packaging.
– Reduce the amounts of detergent
with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half
load, approx. one third less detergent).
– Select the highest suitable spin
speed in the wash programme when
tumble drying afterwards.
– Load recognition and automatic rins-
ing can cause the duration of a programme to vary greatly. The main
wash may be shortened and a rinse
cycle omitted depending on the
amount of laundry.
– Use the additional option Soak in-
stead of Pre-wash with heavily soiled
laundry.
If Soak is followed immediately by a
main wash the same suds are used.

How to wash correctly
How to wash correctly
Before washing
1 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, e.g. collars and
cuffs, and water soluble stains can
be pre-treated with bar soap, liquid
detergent or detergent mixed into a
solution or paste.
With particularly stubborn stains ask
your dry cleaner for advice.
Do not used solvent-based cleaning
agents in this machine.
Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label symbol. Most garments
have a textile care label in the collar
or side seam. See the following
pages for information on which programmes to use for different fabric
types.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately several times before being included in a
mixed load.
Delicate textiles should be washed separately in a delicates programme (use
a washing bag where appropriate).
–
Curtains:
Remove lead weights and strips 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.

How to wash correctly
Selecting a programme
2 Switch on the washing machine
Press in the I-ON/0-OFF button.
3 Open the drum door
Press the Door button and open the
drum door.
4 Load the drum
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
in the drum. To achieve best results
it is advisable to make up mixed
loads consisting of both large and
small items. This improves the washing effect and helps distribute the
load evenly to keep the machine
stable and reduce the noise level
during spinning.
To save energy and water try to load
the maximum amount for the programme selected.
However, be careful not to overload the
machine. Overloading reduces the
wash result and causes more creasing.
6 Select a programme
Turn the programme selector to the
required programme.
The maximum duration for the programme will appear in the display.
7 Select a spin speed
5 Close the drum door with a gentle
swing.
Make sure that no garments are caught
between the drum door and seal.
20
Press the “Spin” button repeatedly
until the indicator light for the spin
speed you want comes on.
In some programmes the maximum
spin speed is limited. The machine will
not allow a higher spin speed to be selected.

quired.
Press the appropriate additional option button.
Soak
For heavily soiled and stained items
with dried-on stains, or ones which
cannot be bleached out, (e.g. blood,
fats and oils, cocoa).
A length of time of between 30 minutes
and 6 hours can be chosen, in 30
minute periods for the “Soak” process.
– When the Soak button is pressed for
the first time, the first 30 minutes of
the soak time are added to the programme time.
– Each further press of the button in-
creases the soak time in 30 minute
periods up to a maximum of 6 hours.
Deleting the soak time
Pre-wash
For heavily soiled and stained items.
Short
For lightly soiled items.
This shortens the programme running
time. In the COTTONS, MINIMUM
IRON, Silks and Mixed wash pro-
grammes only two rinses are carried
out. With the exception of the Silks programme, the rinses are carried out with
a higher water level.
Water plus
If you want to increase the water level
for a wash process you can choose
one of the four options for the Water
plus button. The options are explained
in the section on “Programmable functions - Water plus system”.
The machine is set at the factory so
that the water level in the main wash
and rinses will be increased if the
Water plus button is pressed.
Buzzer
At the end of the programme or when
Rinse hold is reached an audible tone
sounds repeatedly.
The buzzer will continue to sound until
the washing machine is switched off.
Once switched on, the buzzer remains
activated until it is switched off again.
Press the Soak button repeatedly
until the indicator light goes out.
