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 to prevent misuse.

Correct application
This washing machine is designed for domestic use and for use
~
in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &
breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts. It must only be used to wash garments
which have been declared suitable for washing by the manufacturer
indicated on the garment care label.
Any other use may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or
operation.
The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.
~
This washing machine is not intended for use by persons
~
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety.
This washing machine must not be installed and operated in
~
mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Keep children away from the washing machine at all times. It is
~
not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow children to play on
or near it or to play with its controls. Supervise children whilst you
are using it.
Older children may only use the washing machine if its operation
~
has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it
safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

~
glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures.
Do not let children touch it.
8
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 rated 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.
Please refer to the information in "Installation and connection" and
~
"Technical data".
The accesibility of the plug must be always ensured in order to
~
separate the washing machine from the mains.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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 warranty.
Do not make any alterations to the washing machine unless
~
authorised to do so by Miele.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The maximum load capacity is 8 kg (dry laundry). See the
~
"Programme chart" for the specific load capacities of individual
programmes.
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. 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.
Be careful when opening the drum door after using the steam
~
function. There is the danger of burning due to escaping steam and
the high temperatures on the surface of the drum and door glass.
Step back and wait until the steam has dissipated.
11
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 Miele Descaler for washing machines and
strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. If in doubt,
contact Miele or your Miele Chartered Agent.
Fabrics that have been treated with solvent-based cleaning
~
agents must be rinsed out in water before washing in the washing
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.
Dyes need to be suitable for use in your washing machine and
~
can only be used in domestic quantities. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
Sulphur compounds in dye removers can cause corrosion. Dye
~
removers must not be used in the washing machine.
If detergent comes into contact with eyes, rinse out immediately
with lukewarm water. If swallowed, see a doctor immediately.
Persons with skin wounds or sensitive skin should avoid contact
with washing detergent.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
~

Automatic dispensing
This washing can be operated in
conjunction with the automatic
detergent dispensing unit AWD 10.
The dispensing unit and the washing
machine work together via Automaticdetergent dispensing. For a perfect
interaction, some settings in the
electronics of the machine need to be
affected.
How automatic detergent dispensing
works
If automatic detergent dispensing is
selected, the washing machine helps to
select the correct dispensing container
and detergent dosage. The washing
machine calculates the required
amount of detergent with the help of the
entered dosage, the laundry load
detected, and the specified level of
soiling. The amount of detergent will be
dispensed automatically during the
washing process.
Two settings in the electronics need to
be considered.
1) The type of detergent in the
containers.
The following types of detergent can be
selected:
Universal
–
Colour
–
Delicates
–
Delicates & Woollens
–
2) The amount of detergent for
normally soiled laundry.
Do not add special detergents, e.g.
proofing agent, outdoor clothing
detergent, to the containers. Add these
detergents to the detergent dispenser
drawer for appropriate programmes.
Depending on the detergent, automatic
detergent dispensing cannot be
selected in some programmes. For
example, if a universal detergent and a
colour detergent have been added to
the containers, automatic detergent
dispensing cannot be activated during
the Woollens programme. This prevents
woollen fabrics being damaged by the
wrong detergent.

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.
When smaller amounts of laundry are
–
washed, 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.
– Use the Express 20 programme for
small loads.
– Modern detergents enable washing
at reduced temperatures (e.g. 20°C).
Use appropriate temperature
settings for saving energy.
– To maintain hygienic conditions in
the washing machine, it is
recommended that you occasionally
run a wash with a temperature of at
least 60°C. The
message in the display reminds you
to do this.
Hygiene Info
Detergent consumption
Do not exceed the amounts of
–
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
Adjust the dosage to the degree of
–
soiling of the laundry.
Use the automatic detergent
–
dispensing unit for the precise
dosage.
Choosing the correct Extra (Short,
Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Short Extra option for light to normal
soiling where there are no obvious
marks.
– A wash programme without any
Extras for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak Extra option for heavily soiled
laundry.
–
The Pre-wash Extra option for
laundry with large amounts of dirt
(e.g. dust, sand).
–
Using the Cottons Eco 40°C
programme is recommended for a
normally soiled load and is the
programme used in energy/water
consumption tests in accordance
with AS/NZS 2040 (refer to
Consumption data).
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.
27
1. Preparing the laundry
Empty all pockets.
^
Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to garments and
components in the machine.
Sorting the laundry
^ 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.
Removing marks
^
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!
Stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea etc.) can
often be removed with brief tips, which
can be found in Miele's guide to
laundry care. You can order this guide
directly from Miele or from
www.miele.com.au.
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 or on this
machine.
General tips
– Curtains: Remove reels and curtain
weights or place in a 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 and pillow
cases 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).
