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.

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.
7
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.
8
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 machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in good time and avoid the risk of any water damage.
The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should not exceed 1000 kPa.

9
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.
The maximum load for this washing machine is 7 kg (dry weight). See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.
10
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 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.

Touching the Start/Stop sensor starts the selected programme or cancels a programme that has already been started. The sensor flashes slowly as soon as it is possible for a programme to be started and then lights up constantly after the programme has started.
15
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 filters are securely tightened to prevent the risk of water leaks during use.
Removing the protective foil
and stickers
Please remove
–the protective foil from the door.
–any stickers from the front and the lid (Exception: warning labels must not be removed).
Please do not remove any labels (e.g. the data plate) which are visible when you open the door.
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.
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.
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.
16
Before using for the first time
Running the first programme
Turn on the tap.
Turn the programme selector to
Cottons.
The washing machine is now switched on and in the control panel, the temperature 60°C lights up.
Touch the Start/Stop sensor.
The programme will start and the symbol lights up in the control panel.
After 10 minutes, the indicators dim and the Start/Stop sensor lights up constantly.
After the end of the programme
At the end of the programme, the Anticrease function is switched on. The
symbol lights up in the control panel;
: appears in the time display and the drum occasionally rotates.

The washing machine is switched off and is now ready for use.
Useful tip: For safety reasons close the door. 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.
Energy savings
–10 minutes after the beginning of the anti-crease phase, the indicators dim and the Start/Stop sensor starts flashing.
–15 minutes after completion of the anti-crease phase, the washing machine switches off completely and the door lock is released.
17
Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water 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.
–To maintain the hygiene of the machine, carry out a hot wash (above 60°C) at regular intervals. The indicator will come on to remind you to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent consumption
–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. ⅓ less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct Extra option (Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
–a wash programme together with the
Short Extra option for light to moderate soiling where there are no obvious marks.
–a wash programme without any Extra options for moderate to heavy soiling with visible staining.
–a wash programme together with the
Soak Extra option for 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.
18
1. Preparing the laundry
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.
Check the laundry before washing and remove any such 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, stains etc. should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably while still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Useful tip: Stains can be pre-treated using some handy tricks, which can be found in "Miele's guide to laundry care". Please contact Miele to obtain a copy of this booklet.
Solvent-based cleaners (e.g. one containing benzine) 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.
Chemical (solvent-based) cleaning agents can cause severe damage to the washing machine. Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this 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).
19
2. Loading the washing machine
Opening the door |
Closing the door |
Reach under the door grip and pull the door open.
Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading it with laundry.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creases.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum.
Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.
Useful tip: Please note the maximum load for the different wash programmes.
Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.

4. Adding detergent
Detergent dispenser drawer
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.
–high water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in).
–a burden to the environment.
Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergent to the compartments.
Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the total recommended amount as follows: add ⅓ to compartment and ⅔ to compartment )
Detergent for the main wash, including Soak if selected
/
Fabric softener, liquid starch or capsules
See "Detergent" for further information.
23
4. Adding detergent
CapDosing
Three different types of capsule are available:
= Fabric care (e.g. fabric softener)
