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-wash- able 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 operated 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 appliance 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 isolated 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–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or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–the mains fuse is withdrawn.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 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.
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infesta-
tion 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 machine in rooms where tempera-
tures 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 fit-
ting 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 washing. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the washing.
7
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.
Textiles which have been pretreated 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.
Always make sure the drum is stationary before reaching in to
remove washing. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.
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 unplug it. Render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

Description of the appliance
Special programmes
–Programme for hand-washable fabrics (Silks /)
Hand-washable fabrics which crease easily but do not contain wool can be washed in the Silks /programme.
–Programme for hand-washable fabrics (WOOLLENS /)
Hand-washable or machine-washable wool or wool blend fabrics can be washed in the WOOLLENS /programme.

–Rinse programme (Separate rinse)
Articles are only rinsed and spun in the machine.
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.
Water plus system
The water level for washing and rinsing is increased. For COTTONS programmes an additional rinse can also be selected.
9
Description of the appliance
Delay start h/mins
Delay start allows you to delay the start of a programme from 30 minutes up to a maximum of 24 hours.
Time remaining display
After the start of a programme, the duration of the programme selected will be shown in the display counting down in hours and minutes and finally in minutes.
Locking functions (programme locking, system lock)
Electronic programme locking
Electronic programme locking prevents the door from being opened or the programme cancelled during a wash programme. The electronic programme locking is automatically cancelled at the end of the programme.
Electronic system lock
The system lock prevents anyone from using the washing machine without your knowledge. When the system lock is activated :
–the door cannot be opened with the door button
–a programme cannot be started.
Future updates (PC)
The indicator or check light marked PC allows a service engineer to update your machine in future years.
When, for example, new programmes are developed or new fabrics are introduced, a service engineer will be able to modify existing programme cycles accordingly.
Miele will provide information when such possibilities become available.

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.
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.
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.

Description of the appliance
Important control panel features
Programme selector
The programme selector is used to set the basic wash programme and the temperature for that programme. The light ring will go out a few minutes after the end of the programme to save energy.
Additional option buttons
Additional options can be added to the basic programme.
Pressing the relevant button selects or de-selects the particular option. The indicator light comes on to show that the additional option has been selected.
If an additional option is chosen which is incompatible with the basic programme then the indicator light will go out when the button is released.
“Spin” button with indicator lights
The maximum spin speed which can be selected depends on the basic programme chosen.
Maximum |
Basic programme |
spin |
|
speed |
|
1600 COTTONS, Quick wash, Starch, Drain/spin
1200 WOOLLENS, Separate rinse
900 MINIMUM IRON, Mixed wash
600 DELICATES
400 Silks
Press the “Spin” button to select a different spin speed. However, you cannot select a spin speed higher than the maximum allowed for the basic wash programme chosen.
The indicator lights show the speed selected.
You can also select Without spin to omit interim spins and the final spin.
Press the “Spin” button to reach:
–Rinse hold
The laundry is not spun and remains suspended in the final rinse water. This reduces creasing if the laundry is not going to be removed from the drum immediately after the end of the programme.
To continue the programme:
Select a spin speed.
To finish the programme:
Press the Door button.
–Without spin
Laundry is not spun. Water is drained away after the final rinse and the machine goes straight into the anticrease stage.
13
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 without any 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.
The wash programme must be run without 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
COTTONS 40°C.
Press START.
When this programme has finished your washing machine is ready for using for the first time.
14
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 programme 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 additional option Soak instead of Pre-wash with heavily soiled laundry.
If Soak is followed immediately by a main wash the same suds are used.
–Use the Short wash option for normally or very lightly soiled laundry.
–Do not exceed the amounts of detergent 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 rinsing 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.

How to wash correctly
Before washing
1Sort 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.
–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.
Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as non-machine washable on the care label. (h symbol)

How to wash correctly
Selecting a programme
2Switch on the washing machine
Press in the I-ON/0-OFF button.
3Open the drum door
Press the Door button and open the drum door.
4Load 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.
5Close the drum door with a gentle swing.
Make sure that no garments are caught between the drum door and seal.
6Select a programme
Turn the programme selector to the required programme.
The maximum duration for the programme will appear in the display.
7Select a spin speed
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.

Additional options
8 Select any additional option required.
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 increases the soak time in 30 minute periods up to a maximum of 6 hours.
Deleting the soak time
Press the Soak button repeatedly until the indicator light goes out.
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 programmes 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.
