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
This washing machine conforms to current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the washing
machine, please read these instructions carefully before using it
for the first time. They contain important information on its
installation, 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.
Correct application
This washing machine is not designed for commercial use. It is
~
intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and
residential environments.
The washing machine is not intended for outdoor use.
~
It must only be used as a domestic appliance to wash items
~
which are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the
care label.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from
incorrect or improper use or operation of the washing machine.
The washing machine can only be used by people with reduced
~
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Children 8 years and older may use, clean or maintain the
~
washing machine without supervision only if they have been shown
how to do so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
~
machine unless they are constantly supervised.
The washing machine is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do
~
not allow children to play with it or near it, or to play with the
controls.
For machines with a 'porthole' door, remember that the porthole
~
glass will be hot when washing at 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 frequency) 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 correctly earthed. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is observed 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 machine (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.
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.
If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a
~
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the
~
event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.
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 guarantee.
This machine 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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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 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 in solvent based cleaning
~
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being
washed in the machine.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
~
benzine, 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.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
~
benzine, 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.
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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by noncompliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Liquid detergent dispensing
How automatic liquid
detergent dispensing works
If you start a programme using auto
matic dispensing, the washing machine
will calculate how much detergent to
dispense according to the dosage level
set, the amount of laundry in the drum
and the degree of soiling specified.
This means that the correct amount of
detergent for the load will be dispensed
automatically.
If the Pre-wash extra option has been
selected, the washing machine will
automatically divide the amount of
detergent to be dispensed into the
correct proportions for the pre-wash
and the main wash.

Liquid detergent dispensing
Useful tips
The correct liquid detergent
You can fill the container with any
brand of liquid detergent. However, it is
advisable to fill it with the brand you
tend to use most frequently.
Make a note of the brand name of the
liquid detergent below to remind you of
the name when you need to buy some
more.
Brand name
Refilling
If you want to continue using the same
brand of liquid detergent, you can
simply refill the container, in which case
it is not necessary to clean it out.
Filling the container with a different
brand
Do not mix brands of liquid
detergent. This can give a poor
wash result and cause the detergent
to separate.
Clean the container as described in
^
"Cleaning and care".
Make sure you alter the dosage level
^
if a different dosage to the previous
one set is recommended by the
manufacturer.
Degrees of soiling
Light
:
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight
body odour.
Normal:
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavy:
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
Very heavy:
Stains and soiling clearly visible which
have been there for a while and dried
on.
22
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 make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g
20°C). Washing using lower
temperature settings will save
energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the
washing machine, carry out a hot
wash (60°C or above) using powder
detergent at regular intervals. The
Hygiene Info message will appear in
the display to remind you to carry out
a hot wash.
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.
Use Automatic dispensing.
–
Choosing the correct Extra option
(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 extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak extra option for very heavily
soiled laundry.
–
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.
23
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
,
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.
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.
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label. (h symbol)

Load
8 < 25%
The display shows the amount of
laundry loaded in the drum asa%(in
25% steps) of the maximum load
permissible for the programme
selected.
^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum. Mixing both large and
small items gives better wash results
and also helps distribute the load
evenly during spinning.
How to wash correctly
Make sure that no items are caught
between the drum door and seal.
^ Shut the door with a gentle swing.
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.

G Add detergent
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 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.
– High water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
– A burden to the environment.
