Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the washing machine from damage dur‐
ing transportation. The packaging ma‐
terials 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 manufactur‐
ing 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 appli‐
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of‐
ten contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐
tentially 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 com‐
munity waste collection / recycling cen‐
tre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being stor‐
ed for disposal.
6

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 guaran‐
teed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earth‐
ing 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 electri‐
cian. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inade‐
quate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity sup‐
ply 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 ma‐
chine 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 mo‐
bile installations (e.g. on a ship).

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.
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 elec‐
tronic 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 imme‐
diate 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 contain‐
er, 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 port‐
hole 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 (depend‐
ing 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 wash‐
ed 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 ex‐
plosion 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 manufac‐
turer'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 thor‐
oughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical
assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for refer‐
ence. 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 ap‐
pliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are
used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liabil‐
ity.
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-compli‐
ance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy us‐
age are determined by the size of the
load.
To make the most out of your ma‐
chine, load the maximum dry load for
the programme you are using.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load recogni‐
tion 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 tempera‐
ture settings will save energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the ma‐
chine, carry out a hot wash (60°C or
above) using powder detergent at
regular intervals. Hygiene info will ap‐
pear in the display to remind you to
carry out a hot wash.
Detergent consumption
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter‐
gent recommended by the manufac‐
turer 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.
– Use the hot water connection to save
energy.

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. but‐
tons) 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 tex‐
tile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Useful tip: Dark textiles often contain
excess dye and should be washed sep‐
arately several times before being inclu‐
ded 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, pref‐
erably while still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Do not use solvent-based clean‐
ing 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 stiff‐
eners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
– Close any zips, attach velcro fasten‐
ers, fasten hooks and eyes etc. be‐
fore washing.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being rol‐
led up inside them.
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the manufactur‐
er as not washable on the care label
( symbol).

Please note the maximum load for the
different wash programmes. The rele‐
vant programme load is always shown
in the display when you select a pro‐
gramme.
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.

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 laun‐
dry.
– limescale deposits on the heater ele‐
ments.
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 addition‐
al 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:
