The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance 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.
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, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
territory) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.

transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the
machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the stopcock 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
Page 12
Warning and Safety instructions
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam
function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high
temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass.

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 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 (60°C
or above) using powder detergent at
regular intervals. Hygiene info will
appear in the display to remind you
to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent
– 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).
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. Prepare the laundry
Tip: Badly soiled areas can be pre-
treated with liquid detergent, stain
removers etc. first, following the
manufacturer's instructions. With
particularly stubborn stains ask your dry
cleaner for advice.
Solvent-based cleaners (e.g.
benzine) can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g.
buttons) are protected from cleaning
agent.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause damage
to garments and to components in
the machine.
Check the laundry before washing
and remove any foreign objects.
Sort the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Tip: Dark textiles often contain excess
dye and should be washed separately
several times before being included in a
mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
Pre-treat stains
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. 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.
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, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from being
rolled up inside them.
Do not wash any items in this washing
machine which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label ( symbol).

3. Load the washing machine
Open 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.
Close the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum.
Mixing both large and small items
gives better wash results and also
helps distribute the load evenly during
spinning.

ProgrammeManager
The ProgrammeManager option can be
used to customise the washing
programmes to suit your requirements.
Intensive
For hard-wearing laundry that is very
heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is
increased through more intense
mechanical action and the application
of more heat energy.
ECO
This option reduces energy
consumption whilst maintaining
cleaning efficiency. This is achieved by
increasing the wash duration and at the
same time reducing the wash
temperature selected.
Extra gentle
This option decreases mechanical
action in order to reduce creasing.
Extra quiet
This option reduces noise levels during
the programme. Use this if you want to
wash during quiet periods (for instance
when children are sleeping). The
machine will activate the "Rinse hold"
option and not spin. The programme
duration is longer.
AllergoWash
This option should be used where high
standards of hygiene are required. More
energy is used to lengthen temperature
holding times and more water is used to
increase rinsing efficiency.
Not all ProgrammeManager options
are suitable for use with every
programme. Please refer to the "Wash
programme chart ProgrammeManager" for a list of
suitable programmes.
38
Page 39
Pre-ironing
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry
undergoes a smoothing process at the
end of the programme. Reducing the
maximum load by 50% will give a better
result. Please note the load information
in the display. Small loads give a better
result.
The garments must be suitable for
drying in a tumble dryer and
suitable for ironing .
Short
Use this option for light soiling with no
visible staining.
The wash duration is reduced.
Water plus
The water level in the wash and rinse
stages is increased and a second rinse
is carried out in the "Separate rinse /Starch" programme.
Options
You can select other functions for the
Water plus button. These are described
in "Settings".
Stains
In order to clean stained laundry more
effectively, you can choose between 7
different types of stain. The wash

Programme sequence
Cottons and Minimum iron
PowerWash 2.0, the washing technique
developed by Miele, is activated in the
Cottons programme with small and
medium-sized loads and in the
Minimum iron programme
How it works
Conventional washing techniques wash
with more water than the laundry can
absorb. This total volume of water
needs to be heated.
The PowerWash 2.0 washing technique
only uses slightly more water than the
laundry can absorb. The water which
has not been absorbed by the laundry
heats up the drum and the laundry and
is sprayed into the laundry over and
over again. This reduces the amount of
energy used.
Activation
The washing machine calculates the
load at the beginning of the wash
programme. PowerWash 2.0 is
activated if the following conditions are
present:
With some options (e.g. Pre-wash,
Water plus) PowerWash 2.0 is not
activated.
Special features
– Drenching phase
The washing machine will spin a few
times at the beginning of the
programme. During spinning, the
water discharged is sprayed back
into the laundry in order to achieve
optimum moisture penetration.
The optimum water level is set at the
end of the drenching phase. If
necessary, the washing machine will
pump water away or take in a little
more fresh water.
– Noises during the heating phase
Unusual bubbling noises can occur
while the laundry and the drum are
being heated.
– Detergent
Dispense the correct amount of
detergent (with smaller loads).
– there is a small to medium-sized
laundry load in the Cottons
programme and in the Minimum iron
programme.
– the temperature selected must not be
more than 60°C.
– the final spin speed selected must
not be lower than 600 rpm.
– CapDosing (, ) ) has not been
selected for the main wash.

The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic
washing machines are suitable. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
dosage recommendations on the
packaging.
For users in Asia:
please use a low foaming detergent
suitable for use in front-loading
machines
The right amount to dispense
will depend on the following:
– the soiling level of the load
– the quantity of the laundry
– the water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in areas
with water hardness levels II and III.
Dispense according to the amount
specified on the packaging. First add
detergent and then the water softener.
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 conditioner and liquid
starch
Fabric conditioner
makes garments soft to handle and
helps prevent static cling when tumble
drying.
Starch
stiffens and gives body to items of

An unsatisfactory wash result
ProblemCause 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.
Before washing the next load, run the Maintenance
wash using Miele 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
contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually
contain no zeolites.
Use the Dark garments / Denim programme for
dark coloured laundry.

Opening the door in the event
of a blocked drain outlet and/
or power failure
Switch off the washing machine.
Open the drain pump access panel.
Blocked drain outlet
If the drain outlet is blocked, a large
quantity of water can remain in the
washing machine.
If laundry has been washed at a
high temperature, water draining out
of the machine will still be hot.
Danger of scalding!
Take care when draining the
machine.
Procedure for draining the washing
machine
When draining water from the
machine, do not unscrew the drain
filters completely or take them right
out.
Place a suitable container, e.g. a
Miele universal oven tray under the
access panel.
Slowly and carefully unscrew the
filters 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.
64
Tighten the drain filters back up again
if you need to interrupt the flow of
water.
Once the flow of water ceases:
Page 65
Problem solving guide
Remove the drain filters completely.
Clean them 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 filters correctly (on
the right and left) and tighten them
securely.
Water leaking from the washing
machine can cause damage.
Replace and tighten the drain filters
securely.
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.

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 joist and not only the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
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
Make sure the fixings at the back
of the lid are secure.
Otherwise there is a danger of the lid
being pulled off when carrying the
machine.
Before carrying the machine check
that the lid is secure where it
protrudes at the back of the
machine.
Carry the washing machine by the
front feet and the protruding lid at the
back.
Removing the transit bars
There is the danger of the
washing machine moving about
during spinning and falling off a
plinth.
For this reason, if the machine is
installed on a raised plinth (concrete
or brick), it has to be secured against
slippage using an MTS floor/plinth
mounting kit (available from Miele).
To remove the left and right covers
1. Pull on the attached stopper,
2. then use a screwdriver to release the
catches at the top and bottom.
69
Page 70
Installation and connection
Using the spanner supplied, turn the
left-hand transit bar 90°, then
pull the transit bar out.
Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,
then
pull the transit bar out.
70
Page 71
To avoid the risk of injury, the
holes for the transit bars must be
covered after the transit bars have
been removed.
Plug the holes with the plastic caps
as illustrated.
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 re-fitted if the machine
is to be moved again (e.g. when
moving house).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
71
Page 72
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 counternuts 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
Building under a continuous
worktop/ in a kitchen run
Building under kits* must only be
installed/dismantled by a suitably
qualified fitter in accordance with the
instructions supplied.
– A special building under kit* with a
cover plate to replace the machine lid
is required. It must be fitted by a
suitably qualified fitter to ensure
electrical safety. N.B. If there is space
to push the washing machine under
the worktop without removing the lid,
the building under kit is not
necessary. Otherwise it is essential.
– Connections for electricity, water and
drainage should be installed in such a
way that they remain accessible
when the machine is in its final
position.
Fitting instructions are supplied with the
conversion kit.
Washer-dryer stack
The washing machine can be combined
with a Miele tumble dryer in a washerdryer stack. The appropriate "WTV"
stacking kit* to match your dryer is
required.
All parts marked* are available from
your Dealer or Miele.

Installation and connection
The water protection system
The Miele water protection system
protects all parts of the washing
machine 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
pressure of at least 7,000kPa.
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 in and pumps
the excess water away.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being emptied
completely.
74
Page 75
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. The German
authorities do not require it to have a
non-return valve as the washing
machine has been designed to comply
with DIN regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 100
and 1,000kPa. If it is higher than
1,000kPa it is essential to fit a pressure
reducing valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with ¾" threaded union. The stopcock
should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
The connection point is subject
to mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement or
extension. These are tested to
withstand pressure of at least
7,000kPa.
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.
Extension hose
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from your Miele Dealer or
Miele as optional extras.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
75
Page 76
Installation and connection
Drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m delivery head. For the
water to drain freely, the hose must be
installed free of kinks. The elbow piece
supplied hooks onto the end of the
hose.
If required, the hose can be extended to
a length of up to 5m. The necessary
parts can be ordered from Miele.
For a delivery head of more than 1m
(up to a max. of 1.8m) a replacement
drain pump will need to be fitted.
Please contact Miele for advice.
If required, the hose can be extended to
a length of up to 2.5m. The necessary
parts can be ordered from Miele.
Drainage options:
1. Directed into a sink or basin:
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure it.
– If the water is pumped into a
washbasin, make sure that it can
drain away freely. 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).

Consumption data
Note for test institutes
*
Test programme in accordance with EN 60456.
Consumption data can vary from the nominal values given depending on water
pressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature, room temperature, type and
volume of load, fluctuations in the electricity supply and any options selected.
With the PowerWash 2.0 washing technique, during the heating phase, the
temperature measured by the sensor in the suds container is higher than the
actual temperature of the laundry.
The temperature measured there does not reflect the temperature of the
laundry.
The consumption data shown in the EcoFeedback display can vary from the
consumption data quoted here. The variations arise from component tolerances
and on-site conditions e.g. fluctuations in the pressure of the water supply,
mains voltage and fluctuations in the mains voltage.
