Caring for the 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. Therefore,
please do not 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 the
appliance or the machine to prevent
misuse.

6
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.
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.
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 Department or your Miele
Chartered Agent.

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

stopped turning. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely
dangerous and could result in injury.
Check that all items have been
removed from the drum. Items left in
the drum could discolour other items
in the next wash or become
discoloured themselves.
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

drain away. Press the Door button
again to open the door.
