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 safely and kept
out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these materi
als away, please ensure they are of
fered for recycling.

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.
This appliance should not be oper
ated by children. Supervise its use
by the elderly or infirm.
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali
fied electrician.
The electrical safety of this appli
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ma
chine and an effective earthing system
which complies with local and national
regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is regularly
tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec
tric shock).
Do not connect the appliance 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).
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which
the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Repairs should only be un
dertaken by a Miele approved
engineer.
-
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.

Technical safety
Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install and use a dam
aged machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre
quency) match the mains electricity
8
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and the plug is withdrawn, or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the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Warning and safety instructions
The Miele "Waterproof system" pro
tects from water damage provided
the following conditions have been met:
the machine is correctly plumbed in
–
and connected to the electricity sup
ply.
if a fault has been identified, the ma
–
chine must be examined by a com
petent person before further use,
and repaired if necessary.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.
If the connection cable is damaged
it must be replaced by a special
Miele cable.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the appliance 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 appliance guarantee.
-
Use
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use, or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However, it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assess
ment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
-
-
-
-
Do not install your washing ma
chine in rooms where temperatures
below freezing may occur. Frozen
hoses may burst under pressure. The
reliability of the electronic control sys
tem may be impaired at temperatures
below freezing point.
Before using the machine for the
first time, check that the transit fit
ting at the rear of the machine has 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 furni
ture or appliances.
Turn off the stopcock if the ma-
chine 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. Other
wise this will result in flooding.
Take care to ensure that foreign ob
jects (e.g. nails, needles, coins,
paper clips, etc.) do not find their way
into the machine with the washing (e.g.
in pockets). Foreign objects can dam
age components of the machine, which
in turn can result in damage to the
washing.

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 manufacturer’s instructions given on
the packaging. Consult the Miele Cus
tomer Service Department if necessary.
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 in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such detergents also pose a fire and explosion
hazard.
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
-
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee, per
formance and product liability claims
may be invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
unplug it. Render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap
pliance to prevent misuse.
-
-
Colour run and dye removers may
contain sulphur compounds which
cause damage such as corrosion. Do
not use these products in this machine.
Always make sure the drum is sta
tionary before reaching in to re
move laundry. Reaching into a moving
drum is extremely dangerous.

Washing environmentally and economically
Water consumption and energy us
–
age are determined by the size of the
load. Load to the maximum recom
mended for the programme selected.
The washing times can vary consid
–
erably due to the automatic load ad
justment feature. Depending on the
amount of the load, the main wash
may be shortened and one rinse
omitted.
Use the Mixed Wash poly/cottons
–
programme or the Quick Wash
programme for smaller amounts of
laundry.
– To save energy wash normally and
lightly soiled laundry at lower temperatures. The 95°C Cottons
programme is probably only needed
in exceptional circumstances, e.g.
for oil based stains or where a very
hot wash is required.
Use the "Short" wash option for nor
–
mally or very lightly soiled laundry.
-
-
-
Do not exceed the amounts of deter
–
gent which may be recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
Reduce the amounts of detergent
–
with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half
load, approx. one third less deter
gent).
Select the highest suitable spin
–
speed in the wash programme when
tumble drying afterwards.
-
-
-
– A main wash (programme without
pre-wash) is sufficient to clean normally soiled laundry.
–
By using the additional option "Soak"
for heavily soiled laundry you can se
lect a lower temperature in the main
wash.
–
Use the additional option "Soak" in
stead of "Pre-wash" with heavily
soiled laundry.
If "Soak" is followed immediately by a
main wash the same suds are used.

How to wash correctly
Brief guide
The headings numbered (A,B,C,...)
show the operating sequence and can
be used as a brief guide.
Before washing
A Sort the laundry.
^ Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause dam
age to textiles and components in
the machine.
Most garments have a textile care label
in the collar or side seam. Sort the
washing by care label symbols. (See
"Programmes - Care symbols" for their
explanation).
-
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately sev
eral times before being included in a
mixed load.
Delicate textiles should be washed sep
arately in a delicates programme (use a
washing bag where appropriate).
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the manufac
turer as non-machine washable on the
care label. (h symbol)
Pre-treat the laundry

B Press the "Door" button.
C Load the drum.
Unfold washing and load loosely in the
drum. To achieve best results it is ad
visable to make up mixed loads con
sisting of both large and small items.
This improves the washing effect and
helps distribute the load evenly to keep
the machine stable and reduce the
noise level during spinning.
Overloading reduces the wash result
and causes more creasing.

Adding detergent
All modern detergents produced for au
tomatic washing machines are suitable,
including liquid, compact (concen
trated), tablets and special application
detergents. Use dispensing aids, e.g.
balls, if these are supplied with the de
-
tergent.
Woollens and knitwear containing wool
mixtures and hand-washable garments
should be washed using a detergent
specifically designed for washing
woollens.
Silk should be washed using a liquid
detergent specifically designed for
washing woollens. Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes
will damage the silk!
Add detergent according to the amount
recommended on the packaging. The
right amount to dispense will depend
on the following:
– The quantity of laundry.
– The soiling level of the laundry.
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavily soiled
Stains and soiling clearly visible.

– Laundry will not be properly clean
and will in time become grey and
hard to the touch.
– Greasy particles cling to the laundry.
– Lime deposits on the heater ele-
ments.
. . . too much results in the following:
– Excessive foam.
–
Low level of agitation.
–
Poor washing, rinsing and spinning
results.
–
High water consumption (an addi
tional rinse cycle will automatically
switch in).
–
Burdening the environment.

i = Compartment soak/pre-wash
j = Compartment main wash
p = Compartment fabric conditioner
Water is taken in through compartment
i in the pre-wash.
Water is taken in through compartment
j in the main wash. If the capacity of
compartment j is insufficient for the
amount of detergent needed for a
COTTONS programme (e.g. in very
hard water areas), the machine can be
programmed so that water and deter
gent can also be taken into the main
wash through compartment i , see
"Programmable functions", "Activating
compartment i".
-
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in water
hardness ranges II-IV. Dispense ac
cording to the amount specified on the
packaging. First add detergent and
then the water softener.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment j in the fol
lowing order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain salts
This way the agents are distributed
more efficiently.

Fabric conditioners,
texturisers, liquid starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
and fluffy to handle and help prevent
static cling when tumble drying.
Texturisers are synthetic starch formula
tions and give body to items e.g. shirts,
tablecloths and bed linen.
Starch gives body to items of washing.

Dispense according to the amount
specified on the packaging.
