Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
This washing machine complies with 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 machine, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its 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 user.
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.
The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.
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 is not permitted. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
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.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine and do not let them play with it.
Technical safety
Please observe the instructions in “Installation and connection” and “Technical data”.
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.
Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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. Miele 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 a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the risk of overheating).
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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 circuit breaker.
The Miele Waterproof 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 or damage has been identified, the machine must be examined by a competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.
The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should not exceed 1000 kPa.
This washing machine must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be replaced by a Miele authorised technician.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see “Installation and connection - Removing the transit bars”). 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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam function. There is a danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated.
The maximum load for this washing machine is 9 kg (dry weight). See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.
If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent. Miele recommends using Miele descaler for washing machines which is available to order online at shop.miele.com (depending on country) or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on the packaging.
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 external surfaces of the 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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

6. Starting the calibration
programme
For optimum water and energy consumption and excellent wash results, it is important to calibrate the washing machine.
To do this, the Cottons programme must be run without laundry and without detergent.
No other programmes can be started until calibration has been carried out.
The following message appears in the display:
Turn on the tap and run the Cottons 90°C
programme without any laundry
Confirm with the OK sensor.
The display will then change to the standard display for the Cottons programme.

Reach under the door grip and pull the door open.
Useful tip: For safety reasons, close the door when the washing machine is not in use. Otherwise there is a danger of objects being placed inadvertently in the drum. If these remain unnoticed and were washed in the next load, they could damage the laundry. An open door is also a danger to pets and children.
Switch the washing machine off with the control.

Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption Detergent consumption
–To get the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using.
The energy and water consumption will be the lowest in relation to the size of the load.
–When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the Auto load control system will reduce the amount of water and energy used.
–Use the Express 20 programme for small, lightly soiled loads.
–Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Using lower temperature settings will save energy.
–Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergents can cause bacteria and odours to build up in the washing machine. Miele therefore recommends cleaning the washing machine once every month.
The washing machine reminds you to do so with the following message in
the display: Hygiene info: Select
"Maintenance" and start the "Clean
machine" programme..
–Use the hot water connection to save energy.
–For precise dispensing, use automatic detergent dispensing.
–Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry.
–Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
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.

1. Estimate
The estimated energy and water consumption levels will be displayed as a bar chart on the right-hand side.
The more bars visible, the higher the energy or water consumption.
The estimate will vary depending on the wash programme, temperature and any Extras selected.
You can view the actual amount of energy and water used by a programme both during and at the end of the programme.
The costs can also be displayed. See “Settings - Consumption” for more detailed information on costs.
The consumption will alter as the programme progresses.
If the door is opened or the appliance has switched off automatically at the end of the programme, the data will revert to the estimated consumption.
Useful tip: You can view the consumption data for the last wash programme and for total consumption (see “Settings - Consumption”).

1. Preparing the laundry
Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects. Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.
Check the laundry before washing and remove any foreign objects.
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.
Useful tip: Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash white and coloured items separately.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains 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.
Useful tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee, tea) can be pre-treated using some handy tricks which can be found in the Miele guide to laundry care. Please contact Miele to obtain a copy of this booklet.
Damage due to solvent-based cleaning agents.
Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.
Risk of explosion due to solventbased cleaning agents.
If solvent-based cleaning agents are used, an explosive mixture can form. Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing machine.
General tips
–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.
–Close any zips, attach velcro fasteners, 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 ( symbol).
