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.

6
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.
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.
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.
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.
10
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
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.

17
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 Express 20 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
1
smaller loads (approx. /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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
19
2. Selecting a programme
Switching on the washing
machine
Press the button.
Programme selection
Turn the programme selector to the required programme.
The load for the programme selected will appear in the display. This will then be replaced by the standard display.
20
3. Loading the washing machine
Opening the door |
Closing 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.
Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
21
4. Selecting programme settings
Degree of soiling
Lightly soiled
