Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing mate‐
rial
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.
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines often
contain valuable materials. They also
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 machine. Please do not therefore
dispose of it with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com‐
munity waste collection / recycling cen‐
tre or contact your Dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
This washing machine complies with current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and dam‐
age to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine, please
read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time.
They contain important information on its safety, use and mainte‐
nance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future user.
Correct application
This washing machine is intended for use in domestic households
and similar working and residential environments.
The washing machine is not intended for outdoor use.
It must be used only as a domestic appliance to wash items
which are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the
wash care label. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting
from incorrect or improper use or operation.
The washing machine can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequen‐
ces of incorrect operation.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the wash‐
ing machine unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the washing machine un‐

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 connec‐
tion data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali‐
fied electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be
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 correctly earthed.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any
doubt, please have the wiring system of the building tested 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 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 origi‐
nal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran‐
tee the safety standards of the machine.
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 the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guar‐
antee.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when
cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.
The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage
provided the following conditions are met:
– the machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the elec‐
tricity supply.
– if a fault or damage has been identified, the machine must be ex‐
amined by a competent person before further use, and repaired if
necessary.
The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should not
exceed 1000 kPa.
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 guarantee.
The machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
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 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 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. 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 dis‐
sipated.
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 descaling agent which is available to
order online at www.miele-shop.com 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 surfaces of the machine. They can cause dam‐
age 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
Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by
Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product
liability claims will be invalidated.
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.
If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an optional
accessory, depending on country), please make sure you order the
correct one for this washing machine.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compli‐
ance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Running the first programme
18
The TwinDos unit needs to be activa‐
ted before running the first pro‐
gramme.
Please see "TwinDos".
TwinDos
The washing machine has an integrated
detergent dispensing unit.
The detergent dispensing unit can be
used with
1. the Miele 2 Phase System
or
2. any other liquid detergent and/or fab‐
ric conditioner
The Miele 2 Phase System
The Miele 2 Phase System uses a base
detergent (UltraPhase 1) and a deter‐
gent enhancer (UltraPhase 2). In order
to achieve optimum results, the agents
are dispensed separately during the
wash process. The 2 Phase System
cleans both white and coloured textiles
thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and
UltraPhase 2 single use cartridges are
available to order from Miele or via the
internet at www.miele-shop.com (see
end of this booklet for contact details).
Liquid detergent/Fabric conditioner
The washing machine is supplied with
two refillable containers which you can
fill with liquid detergent and/or fabric
conditioner.
How TwinDos works
Automatic detergent dispensing for a
wash cycle is activated via the Dos
sensor.
To use the TwinDos function, you need
to specify the following information for
the electronic unit:
1. the detergent type and/or fabric
conditioner with which the contain‐
ers are filled.
2. the dosage amount of the liquid de‐
tergent or fabric conditioner. The
dosage amount for Miele products is
pre-set at the factory.
Do not fill the containers with any
specialist detergents. Use cap dos‐
ing or the detergent dispenser draw‐
er for these.
Automatic dispensing cannot be selec‐
ted with some programmes, depending
on the detergent present in the TwinDos
system. For example, automatic dis‐
pensing cannot be activated for the
Woollens programme if the Miele 2
Phase System is being used. This pre‐
vents woollen garments being dam‐
aged by a detergent which is not suita‐
ble for washing wool.

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 of your machine,
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
– For precise dispensing use automatic
detergent dispensing.
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter‐
gent recommended by the manufac‐
turer on the packaging.
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-trea‐
ted with liquid detergent, stain remov‐
ers etc. first, following the manufactur‐
er's instructions. With particularly stub‐
born stains ask your dry cleaner for ad‐
vice.
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 to components in
the machine.
Sort 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.
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, pref‐
erably whilst 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, 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
Take hold of the door and pull it
open.
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.
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.
Close the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
