Caring for our 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. Please do not therefore 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 it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, use and maintenance. Keep these 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.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.

when continuity is complete between the machine and an effective earthing system which complies with 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).
extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data on

Warning and Safety instructions
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 disconnected, 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.
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.
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches and 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.
Use
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
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 fittings at the rear of the machine have 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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 Service Dept. or your Miele Dealer.
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, e.g. those containing benzene, 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.
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents, e.g. those containing benzene, 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.
Always make sure the drum is
stationary before reaching into it to remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
This machine is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury do not allow children to play on or near it or to play with the controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm, and supervise children whilst you are operating the 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.
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.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine,
switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the machine to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Operating the machine
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 8 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 pressed, the delay start time will start counting 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.

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.
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.

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
programmes for small loads. When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed using the 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
instead of the programme will give energy savings of between 35% and 45%. This is sufficient for most levels of soiling.

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
^ 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.
If you use a solvent-based clean
,
ing agent (e.g. one containing ben zene) 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.
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.
– 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.
Knitted garments, trousers and jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer.
