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 connected load) 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 continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety 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).
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 appliance (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.
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. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
If the connection cable is faulty it
~
must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning
~
purposes, the washing 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and the plug is withdrawn, or – it is switched off at the mains, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the
screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
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 machine guarantee.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
This washing machine may only be
~
used in mobile installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Do not make any alterations to the
~
washing machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
Correct use
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 washing machine
~
for the first time, check that the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see section on "Installation"). 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 tap if the machine is to
~
be left for any length of time (e.g. holi day), 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.

Description of the machine
Display
The display shows:
the programme duration (Time left
display)
delay start
the programmable functions
Programme duration
After the start of a programme, the estimated programme duration will appear in the display in hours and minutes.
When delay start is being used, the programme duration will appear after the delay start time has elapsed.
During the first 10 minutes the washing machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry and uses this to calculate the load. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate.
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 time is more than 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 time has finished, the programme begins and the estimated programme duration shows in the display.
Programmable functions
The programmable functions can be used to tailor washing programmes to suit your individual requirements. In programming mode, the display will show the function selected.
11
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.
This washing machine has completed a comprehensive functional test. A small quantity of water remains in the drum as a result.
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 laundry and without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an excessive build-up of foam.
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.
^
Open the tap.
^
Press the I-On/0-Off button in.
The indicator light for the Automatic programme will come on.
^
Press the H programme button to select the Cottons programme.
^
Press the Start/Stop button.
The programme will begin. When it has finished, your machine is ready for using for the first time.
12
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.
Use the Automatic and Express
programmes for small loads.
When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed using the Cottons programme, 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.
– Using the Cottons Normal 40°C
program is recommended for a normally soiled load and is the program used in energy/water consumption tests to AS/NZS 2040 (refer to Consumption Data)
Hot and cold water connection is standard on this machine. Hot water connection offers the following advantages: – decreased running time – increased energy savings with
greenhouse-friendly hotwater such as solar-heated systems
Detergent
Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx.
1
/3less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).
Degree of soiling
With most of the programmes you can specify the degree of soiling of the laundry. The washing machine will then adjust the programme to suit the degree of soiling.
Light
No visible dirt or stains.
Normal
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.
Heavy
Visible dirt and stains as well as soiling that has dried on or been left unwashed for a while.
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.
13
How to wash correctly
Brief instructions
The headings numbered A, B, C,... show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions.
A Sort the laundry
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.
^ 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.
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.
Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing.
Fasten duvet covers 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)
14
How to wash correctly
B Switch on the washing machine
C Load the drum
Press the Door button to open the
^
drum door.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
^
in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.
Make sure that no garments are caught between the drum door and seal.
D Select a programme
Press the e or - button repeatedly
^
until the indicator light for the programme you want lights up.
^
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
15
How to wash correctly
Specify the degree of soiling of the laundry
Press the top button to select the degree of soiling. Normal is the default setting.
Use the lower button to select the Water plus option.
^ Press the top button repeatedly until
the degree of soiling you want lights up.
^
Press the Water plus button if you want to activate this function.
You cannot select the degree of soiling or Water plus for every programme.
You can change the pre-set temperature or spin speed by pressing the Temperature or Spin button.
In some programmes the maximum temperature and spin speed is limited. The machine will not allow a higher value to be selected.
^ Press the Temperature or Spin
button repeatedly until the indicator light for the value you want comes on.
^
Press the Buzzer button if you want to be reminded when the programme is finished.
16
E Add detergent
It is important to dispense the correct amount, because...
. . . too little detergent results in:
Laundry not getting properly clean
and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch.
Greasy particles clinging to the
laundry.
Limescale deposits on the heater
elements.
. . . too much detergent results in:
– Excessive foam which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results.
– Higher water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in).
– A burden to the environment.
How to wash correctly
Pull out the detergent drawer and
^
place detergent in the compartments as follows:
i
Detergent for the pre-wash (if the
Degree of soiling has been set as Heavy, add
2
and
/3to compartment j).
j
Detergent for the main wash
1
/3to compartment i
§
Fabric conditioner or liquid starch.
^
Close the detergent drawer.
See "Detergent" for further information.
17
How to wash correctly

The estimated programme duration will then show in the display. This will count down in one minute steps. During the first 10 minutes the machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate.
H Remove the laundry when the
programme as finished
The Finish and Anti-crease Sequence indicator lights will come on when the programme is finished.
^
Press the Door button to open the drum door.
18
^
Check the folds in the door seal for any small articles, e.g. buttons which might be lodged there.

Programme sequence
This 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 in the chart are based on the basic programme with a full load. Extra options 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 the Cottons and Woollens programme, 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.

Detergent
The correct detergent
All modern detergents produced for automatic Front loading washing machines are suitable. 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 programmes with short durations.
Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk! Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the detergent packaging.
For programmes without pre-wash or time delay start, liquid detergent can either be dispensed placing a ball shaped container (commonly provided by the detergent manufacturer) straight onto the laundry load or alternatively dispensed through the detergent dispenser drawer. For programmes with pre-wash or delay start facility (where applicable), an additional liquid detergent dispenser insert (Material number 5077370) is available from the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Detergent
The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:
The quantity of laundry.
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.
– The water hardness level.
– Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the water hardness level in your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in 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
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.
30
Fabric conditioners and liquid starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft 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.
Automatic dispensing of fabric conditioner or liquid starch to laundry at the end of a programme
Detergent
If starching frequently, clean the dispenser compartment, especially the siphon tube, regularly. See "Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer". Do not use powder starch formulations or viscous liquid starch in the § compartment as it will clog up.
Colour run and dye removers / dyes
Do not use
^
removers in this machine.
^ Dyes suitable for use in domestic
washing machines can be used. However, please note that the salt used in the dyeing process can cause corrosion to stainless steel components in the machine if you dye frequently. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

^
non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap and water using a well wrung-out cloth. 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.
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.

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.
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.
45
Installation and connection
Using the spanner supplied turn the
^
left-hand transit bar 90°, then
^
withdraw the transit bar.
Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,
^
then
^
withdraw the transit bar.
46
To avoid the risk of injury the
,
holes for the transit bars must be covered after the transit bars have been removed.
^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.
Then plug the holes as shown with the caps.
Installation and connection
Secure the transit bars to the back of
^
the washing machine. Make sure that holes b are fitted over retainers a.
The washing machine must not
,
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.
47
Installation and connection
Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.
Failure to level the machine can result in the machine "banging" in the spin cycle or "walking" across the floor during operating.
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.
^
Using the spanner supplied turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.
48
Installation and connection
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: approx. 170 cm
,
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.
49
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 taps 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.
50
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 tap. 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 Chartered Agent 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 tap with thread. The tap should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
The connection points are
,
subject to mains water pressure. Turn on the taps slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the washer and union if appropriate.
Maintenance and care
Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement.
3
/4"
Do not dip into any liquid.
The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked.
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 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.
51
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 tap
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.
The conditions for connection are described on preceding pages.
This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS/NZS 3500.1.2. No further backflow protection required for connection to the water supply.
52
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 purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m (up to a max. of 1.8 m) a second duo-drain pump is available with the corresponding kit from the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Installation and connection
Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug for connection to a 230V 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).
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
