Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the washing machine from damage
during transportation. The packaging
materials used are selected from
materials which are environmentally
friendly for disposal and should 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 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 appliance.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

7
Page 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.
8
Page 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 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 100kPa and should not
exceed 1000kPa.
This washing machine must not be installed and operated in
mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
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 machine warranty.
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.

Page 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.
10
Page 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 8 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 www.miele-shop.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.
11
Page 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.

Before using for the first time
deutsch
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

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 use 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.
Press the button in.
The welcome screen will light up.

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 and energy used.
– Use the Express20 programme for
small, lightly soiled 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
machine, carry out a hot wash (above
60°C) using powder detergent at
regular intervals. Hygiene info will
appear in the display 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. 1/3 less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
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. Preparing the laundry
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.
If you use a solvent-based
cleaning agent (e.g. one containing
benzine) 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.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause damage
to garments and components in the
machine.
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.
Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in or on 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).

20
Page 21
3. Loading the washing machine
Opening the door
Reach under the door grip and pull
the door open.
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.
Please note the maximum load for the
different wash programmes. The
relevant programme load is always
shown in the display when you select a
programme.
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.
Closing the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.

Page 24
5. Adding detergent
There are several options for 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 1/3 to compartment and 2/3 to
compartment )
Detergent for the main wash

Final spin speed in the programme
When a programme is selected, the
optimum spin speed for that
programme will appear in the display.
For programmes marked with a * in the
chart, the optimum spin speed is not
the maximum spin speed.
You can reduce the final spin speed.
However, you cannot select a final spin
speed higher than that shown in the
chart.
Rinse and interim spin
There is a spin after the main wash and
between the rinses. A reduction in the
final spin speed will also reduce the
interim spin speed. If a spin speed of
less than 700 rpm is selected for the
Cottons programme, an additional rinse
is introduced.

Omitting the final spin (Rinse hold)
Use the Spin speed button to select
the setting (Rinse hold). The
laundry is not spun after the final
rinse and remains in the final rinse
water. This helps prevent creasing if
the laundry is not going to be
removed from the drum immediately
after the end of the programme.

The washing machine will display the
maximum spin speed possible. You
can select a spin speed lower than
this. Start the final spin by pressing

Detergent
The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic
front loading washing machines are
suitable. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions and dosage
recommendations on the packaging.
The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:
– The soiling level of the laundry.
– The quantity of laundry.
Detergent dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent,
particularly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent, buy refill
packs wherever possible. This helps
reduce the amount of waste packaging.
Fabric softeners and liquid starch
Fabric softeners
make garments soft to handle and help
prevent static cling when tumble drying.
Fabric shapers
are synthetic starches and give an even
stiffer hold.
Starch
stiffens and gives body to items of
laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed
linen.

An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Possible cause and remedy
Liquid detergent does
not give the required
result.
Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
White residues which
look like powder
detergent are seen on
dark textiles after
washing.
Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching
agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea
stains.
Use a general purpose powder detergent
containing a bleaching agent.
Use the appropriate capsule or add stain removers
to the compartment.
Never put stain removers and liquid detergent
together in the dispenser drawer.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break
down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
Use more detergent or liquid detergent.
Before washing the next load, run the Clean
machine programme using Miele dishwasher and
washing machine cleaner or a powder detergent.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid
water softening which are not soluble in water. These
have ended up on the laundry.
Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry.
Wash dark textiles using a detergent which does
not contain zeolites. Liquid detergents usually do
not contain zeolites.
Use the Dark garments/Denim programme.

remain in the washing machine.
Caution: If laundry has been
washed at a high temperature, water
draining out of the machine will still
be hot. Danger of scalding!
Procedure for draining the washing machine
When draining water from the
machine, do not unscrew the drain
filter completely or take it right out.
Place a suitable container, e.g. a
Miele universal oven tray, under the
access panel.
Slowly and carefully unscrew the filter
to let the water out. Be careful not to
release too much water at once. If the
flow of water is too strong, some
water can seep into the washing
machine base and activate the water
protection float switch. This will
prevent the washing machine from
functioning.
56
Tighten the drain filter back up again
if you need to interrupt the flow of
water.
Once the flow of water ceases:

Remove the drain filter completely.
Problem solving guide
Opening the door
Always make sure that the drum
is stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely
dangerous.
Use a screwdriver to unlock the door.
Pull open the door.
Clean it thoroughly.
Remove any foreign objects (e.g.
buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff from the
filter housing. Turn the impellers by
hand to check that they rotate freely.
Replace the drain filter correctly and
tighten it securely.
Make sure the drain filter is
securely tightened. Otherwise there
is a risk of water leakage during use.

Installation and connection
Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washing
machine, being far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note:
The machine must be level and
securely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
We recommend a plywood base (at
least 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base
should span several joists and be
bolted to the joists and not only to the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
Useful tip: If possible, install the
machine in a corner, as this is usually
the most stable part of the floor.
Transporting the washing machine to its installation site
To manoeuvre the washing machine out
of its packing case to its installation
site, hold it by the front feet as well as
by the edge of the lid where it protrudes
to the rear of the machine.
Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
Removing the transit bars
Remove the left and right covers.
1. Pull off the transit bar covers and
2. then use a screwdriver to release the
catches at the top and bottom.
61
Page 62
Installation and connection
Using the spanner supplied, turn the
left-hand transit bar 90°, then
withdraw the transit bar.
Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,
then
withdraw the transit bar.
62
Page 63
To avoid the risk of injury, the
holes for the transit bars must be
covered after the transit bars have
been removed.
Fit the covers onto the two holes.
Installation and connection
Secure the transit bars to the back of
the washing machine. Make sure the
top catch is located above the holder.
The washing machine must not
be moved without the transit bars in
place. Store them as shown or keep
them in a safe place for future use.
They must be refitted if the machine
is to be moved again (e.g. when
moving house).
Refitting the transit bars
Refitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
63
Page 64
Installation and connection
Levelling the machine
The washing machine must stand
perfectly level on all four feet to ensure
safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase
electricity and water consumption and
may cause the machine to move about.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
The four adjustable screw feet are used
to level the machine. All four feet are
screwed in when the machine is
delivered.
Use a spirit level to check that the
washing machine is standing level.
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again
using the spanner supplied until it sits
firmly up against the housing.
All four counter nuts must be
firmly up against the housing. Please
also check this for the feet which did
not need adjustment. Otherwise
there is a danger of the machine
moving about.
Using the spanner supplied, turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then turn counter nut 2 together with
foot 1 to unscrew.

Installation and connection
The Miele water protection system
The Miele water protection system
protects all parts of the washing
machine and surrounds from water
damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
– the inlet hose
– the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
– the drain hose
Inlet hose
– Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressures up to 7000 kPa.
Electronic unit and washing machine housing
– Sump: Any leaking water is collected
in a sump in the base of the machine.
A float switches off the water inlet
valves, preventing any more water
from flowing into the machine and
water in the suds container is
pumped away.
– Overflow protection: This prevents
the washing machine taking in too
much water. If the water level
exceeds a certain level, the drain
pump switches on and pumps the
excess water away in a controlled
way.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being emptied
completely.
66
Page 67
Installation and connection
Connection to the water supply
The washing machine should be
connected to a mains water supply in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations.
IMPORTANT Australia and New
Zealand
This appliance must be installed
according to AS/NZS 3500.1. Backflow
prevention is already integrated in the
appliance.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 100
and 1000kPa. If it is higher than
1000kPa, it is essential to fit a reducer
valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains tap with 3/4"
threaded union. The tap should be fitted
by a qualified plumber.
The connection point is subject
to mains water pressure. Turn on the
tap slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement. These are
tested to withstand pressures up to
7000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filters (one in the
open end of the inlet hose, the other
in the inlet point in the machine)
must not be removed.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
67
Page 68
Installation and connection
Drainage
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre. The
drain hose must not be kinked as this
restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at
the end of the hose can be turned in
either direction, or can be detached if
required, with a sharp twist and pull.
If required, the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 5 m. The
necessary parts can be purchased from
Miele.
For a delivery head of more than 1 m
(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacement
drain pump will need to be fitted.
Please contact Miele for advice.
If necessary, the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 2.5 m. The
necessary parts can be purchased from
Miele.
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure.
– Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance.
Otherwise there is a risk of water
overflowing or of some of the
drained water being sucked back
into the machine.
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no
need to use a siphon.
Please note:

Installation and connection
Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug for
connection to a 230V mains supply. The
voltage, rated load and plug rating are
given on the data plate. Please ensure
these match the household mains
supply.
The accessibility of the plug
must always be ensured in order to
separate the washing machine from
the mains. Do not connect the
appliance to an extension lead or
multi-socket adapter as they do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
All electrical work should be carried out
only by a suitably qualified and
competent person, in strict accordance
with national and local safety
regulations. For extra safety, it is
advisable to install a residual current
device (RCD), with a trip current of 30
mA. Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance until after installation work
has been carried out. Connection
should be made via a suitable switched
socket.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE EARTHED
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must be replaced with a Miele cable of
the same type by a Miele approved
service technician only.
