IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read all instructions before installation or
use to prevent injury and machine
damage.
This washer-extractor is only intended for
laundry which has not come in contact
with flammable substances.
Dry cleaning solvents must not be used
in this machine. Such solvents could
cause a fire or explosion.
This appliance conforms to all uniform
safety codes and regulations. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible
for damage or injury caused by improper
use of this appliance.
All personnel working with this machine
must be fully trained in its use and safety.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND
REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
Correct usage of the washer
Do not wash articles that have been previously
~
cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, organic oils or other flammable
substances. These articles give off vapors that could
ignite or explode. Do not add these items to the wash
load.
CAUTION: Fire hazard!
~

substances or any easily flammable materials near
the machine. Do not use the top of the washer as a
storage area.
Do not store any chemicals (liquid detergents,
~
wash aids) on the top of the washer. The chemicals
could damage the surface. Spilled chemicals must
be immediately washed off with a wet sponge.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
~
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets
and let the water flow from each for several minutes
before using the washing machine. This will release
any built-up hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time, the gas is flammable.
Check the wash results when the laundry was
~
soiled with biological oils or grease. If the laundry is
not sufficiently cleaned, a spontaneous combustion
might occur when the laundry is dried in a dryer.
Use special detergents or wash programs.

To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance,
continuity must exist between the appliance and an
effective grounding system. It is imperative that this
basic safety requirement be met. If there is any
doubt, have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damages caused by
the lack, or inadequacy of, an effective grounding
system.
Before installation make sure that the voltage and
~
frequency listed on the data plate correspond with
the site electrical supply. This data must correspond
to prevent injury and machine damage. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Additional information
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often contain
~
chlorides (salts) which can cause steel surfaces to
rust. To protect the machine from rust damage, only
use chloride free disinfecting and cleaning agents for
washing/disinfecting and for cleaning the machine. If
you are not sure about an agent contact Miele’s
Professional Department. If you accidentally spill an
agent containing chloride on the machine it should be
rinsed off with water and dried with a soft cloth.
The manufacturer of the washer does not take
~
responsibility for the effect of the chemical on the
laundry or the machine when a chemical cleaning
agent is recommended on technical application
grounds. Please be aware that changes in formula
tion, storage conditions etc., which may not be
published by the chemical producer, can have a
negative effect on the cleaning result.
Keep the area around the machine clean and free
~
of debris.
Before the appliance is removed for service or
~
discarded, remove the door.
The interior of the machine should be cleaned
~
periodically by a qualified service agent.

Chlorine damage to components
How to handle chlorine bleach and
perchloroethylene (PCE)
Heavy use of chlorine products increases
the risk of damage to appliance
components.
Depending on the chlorine concentration,
the exposure time, and the temperature, the
use of liquid and powdered chlorine-based
bleaches can erode the stainless steel
protective layer and lead to corrosion of the
appliance components. Therefore, it is
recommended that these products not be
used. Instead you can use oxygen-based
bleaches.
If you still need to use chlorine-based
bleaches in special cases, you will need to
perform a neutralizing step each time.
Failure to do so can result in permanent and
irreversible damage to the washing machine
and the laundered items.
Using accessories
Only use genuine Miele accessories. If other parts
~
are used, guarantee, performance and product
liability claims may become void.
Ensure that any one operating this machine is
~
familiar with these important safety instructions.
Chlorine neutralization
Chlorine neutralization must be done
immediately following the use of a
chlorine-based bleach. For best results, use
hydrogen peroxide or an oxygen-based laundry
soap or bleach, without draining the tub.
If thiosulfate is used (especially with hard
water), lime deposits can form, leading to
residue on the laundered items or a build-up
in the washing machine. The preferable
alternative is to use hydrogen peroxide,
because it helps promote the neutralization
of chlorine.
The exact amounts to be used, and at what
temperature(s), should be selected based
on the recommendations of the neutralizer
manufacturer, then checked for efficacy. The
laundry will need to be tested to ensure that
no active chlorine remains behind after
neutralization.

^
solution of non-abrasive detergent or soap
and water, and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Wipe away any deposits from the drum
^
door seal with a damp cloth.
Clean the drum with a stainless steel
^
cleaner specially formulated for use in a
washer, available from Miele’s Technical
Service Department
Cleaning the drain pump and lint
trap
Occasionally small objects (buttons, coins,
etc.) may find their way into the lint trap. If
the machine does not drain completely, the
lint trap should be checked to ensure that it
is free of foreign objects.
To clean the lint trap, remove the tool from
^
behind the detergent dispenser drawer.
^ Open the lint trap door.
26
Place a 2 qt (2 l) capacity container under
^
the drain tube.
^ Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise 2- 3
times.
About 2 quarts of water will drain out of the
hose.
If the main drain hose is clogged, more
water will be retained in the machine (max.
7.5 gal [30l]). In this case, tighten the lint
trap lid and empty the container before
repeating the procedure as often as
necessary.
Washer care
Check that the drain pump impeller (in the
^
back of the chamber) rotates freely by
spinning with your hand. If not: remove
foreign bodies.
^ Clean the inside of the lint trap housing.
Remove any detergent deposits or foreign
objects from the threads of the filter
housing and filter unit before replacing the
drain filter.
^
To interrupt the water drainage: Tighten the
drain filter lid.
,
Caution: If laundry has been washed
at a high temperature, the water draining
out of the machine will still be hot! Stop
and allow it to cool before proceeding.
^
If no more water drains: Remove the lint
trap and clean.
^
Remove any foreign objects (buttons,
coins, etc.) from the lint trap.
27
Washer care
Cleaning the water inlet filters
The washer has two water inlet filters to
protect each inlet valve. These filters should
be checked and cleaned if necessary every
6 months. This may have to be done more
frequently with some water supplies.
Cleaning the inlet hose filters
Cleaning the filter in the inlet valve
Using a wrench, carefully loosen and
^
remove the plastic hose connector on the
inlet valve.
Using needle nose pliers, withdraw the
^
plastic filter by pulling on the bar (see
illustration). Rinse under running water.
^ Turn off the water valve.
^ Unscrew the inlet hose from the water
valve.
^ Remove the rubber seal,1, from the
connector.
^
Using needle nose pliers, grasp the plastic
filter, 2, and pull it out of the hose
connector and clean.
^
Reassemble the filter and seal.
The inlet hose filters should be cleaned
every 6 months.
Inspect the hose regularly. The hose must
be in good condition to withstand high water
pressure. The hose must be replaced if there
are small cracks in the surface or if it has
been damaged or cut.
Only use hose that can withstand a minimum
pressure of 70 bar. Original Miele hoses fulfill
this requirement.
^ Reassemble the filter and seal.
Both filters must be put back in place
after cleaning.
28
Cleaning the detergent drawer
The detergent dispenser should be
^
cleaned after each use to remove any
detergent residue.
The siphon tubes in the § and x
^
compartments should also be cleaned.
Washer care
^ Unscrew the siphon tubes.
^ Clean the siphon tubes with warm water.
Return the siphon tubes checking that the
are hooked in correctly.
