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 should 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!
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic 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 machine.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

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).
This washing machine must only be
~
connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hoses must
not be re-used.
In countries where there are 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 guarantee.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance must not be used in
~
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
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 and connection"). 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 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.
8
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. A
special descaling agent is available to
order from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com.
Textiles which have been
~
pre-treated with 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.
Colour run and dye removers
~
contain sulphur compounds which can
cause damage such as corrosion. Do
not use these products in this machine.
If detergent comes into contact with
~
the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with
lukewarm water immediately. If
swallowed, seek medical assistance
immediately and retain the packaging
or label for reference. Those with skin
problems or sensitive skin should avoid
their skin coming into contact with
detergent.
Only remove laundry from the
~
washing machine once the drum has
stopped turning. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous
and could result in injury.
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.
Only use dyes specified by the
~
manufacturer as being suitable for use
in a domestic washing machine. Always
observe the manufacturer's instructions
carefully.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

preparing the washing machine for use
and also in the Settings menu.
The display template makes this
second function visible.
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 Start button has been
pressed, the delay start time will start
counting down.
Once the delay start time has elapsed,
the programme will begin and the
estimated programme duration will
appear in the display.
Settings
The settings can be used to tailor
washing programmes to suit your
individual requirements. In the Settings
menu the display will show the function
selected.

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 leaks
during use.
This washing machine has
undergone a complete functional test
at the factory and there will be some
residual water in the drum from this
process.
Preparing the washing machine for use
is done in four stages. The washing
machine guides you automatically
through steps 1 to 3.
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.
1. Welcome screen
^ Place the display template on top of
the control panel as shown.
^ Press the K button in.
M
Willkommen
The welcome screen will appear in
the display every time the washing
machine is switched on until a
programme lasting longer than
1 hour has been completed.
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.

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.
– Using the Cottons 60°C programme
instead of the Cottons 95°C
programme will give energy savings
of between 35% and 45%. This is
sufficient for most levels of soiling.
For stubborn or old stains, use the
Soak extra option.
Detergent
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.
Reduce the amount of detergent with
–
smaller loads (approx.
1
/3less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct Extra options
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Short extra option for light soiling
where there are no obvious marks.
– A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak extra option for very heavily
soiled laundry.
14
–
The Pre-wash extra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,
sand).
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.
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.
How to wash correctly
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 or on 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.
–
Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.
–
Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent
small items from being rolled up
inside them.

How to wash correctly
H 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).
Pull out the detergent drawer and
^
place detergent in the compartments
as follows:
