Technical Safety
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the machine and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
regularly tested by a
qualifiedelectrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorized repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which the manufacturer cannot accept
responsibility. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved
technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
The machine is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–
it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install or use a
damaged machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and
frequency) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
–
it is switched off at the mains, or
–
the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Warning and Safety Instructions
The best materials are used in the
manufacture of this machine, and
every care is taken to check all parts.
However, with time, deterioration of
parts can occur, especially with such
components as hoses, giving rise to
leaks. This should be borne in mind if
operating the machine without
supervision. Check the hoses regularly
for signs of wear, and change in good
time, to avoid leaks and subsequent
damage.
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance 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.
Use
Do not install the machine in rooms
where temperatures below freezing
may occur. Frozen hoses may burst
under pressure.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
fitting at the rear of the machine has
been removed (see section on
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit
fitting which is still in place may result in
damage to both the machine and
adjacent furniture or appliances.
Avoid contact of stainless steel
surfaces (front, lid, casing) with
liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents
which contain chlorine or sodium
hypochlorite. These agents can have a
corrosive effect on stainless steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine
bleach can also be corrosive. Do not
store open containers of these agents
near the machine.
Turn off the water valves 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.
Otherwise this will result in flooding.
Take care to ensure that foreign
objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,
paper clips) do not find their way into
the machine with the washing. These
may damage components of the
machine (e.g. suds container, drum),
which in turn can result in damage to
the washing.
6
Warning and Safety Instructions
If the correct amount of detergent
is dispensed, the machine should
not need to be descaled. If, however,
you do wish to descale the machine
only use proprietary non-corrosive
descaling agents and strictly observe
the instructions on the packaging. If in
doubt contact the Miele Customer Ser
vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.
Textiles which have been
pre-treated in solvent based
cleaning agents must be thoroughly
rinsed in clean water before being
washed in the machine.
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such
detergents also pose a fire and
explosion hazard.
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a washing machine. Always
observe the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee,
performance and product liability
claims may be invalidated.

How to Wash Correctly
Brief Instructions
For brief instructions follows steps
(A,B,C ,...).
Before Washing
A Sort the laundry.
^ Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to garments and
components in the machine.
Most garments have a textile care label
in the collar or side seam. Sort the
laundry by care label symbols. See
"Textile Care Symbols" for an
explanation of the symbols.
Only wash items stated by the
manufacturer to be machine washable
on the care label.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately
several times before being included in
a mixed load.
Delicate textiles should be washed
separately in a delicates program (use
a washing bag where appropriate).
Only wash textiles made from wool or
wool mixtures if they are declared as
being suitable for machine washing on
the textile care label.
Pre-treating the washing.
^
Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and
cuffs, and water soluble stains can be
pre-treated with bar soap, liquid
detergent or detergent mixed into a
solution or paste.
With particularly stubborn stains ask
your dry cleaner for advice.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning
agents in this machine.
–
With curtains:
Remove lead weights and strips or
place in a laundry bag.
–
Bras:
Ensure any underwiring is securely
sewn in. If not remove it.

Detergent
All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are
suitable, including liquid, compact
(concentrated), and special application
detergents.
Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these
are supplied with the detergent.
Woollens and knitwear containing wool
mixtures should be washed using a
detergent specifically designed for
washing woollens.
Instructions for use and recommended
amounts are given on the detergent
packaging.
The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
– The quantity of laundry
– The soiling level of the laundry
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavily soiled
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
See "Problem Solving Guide" for
advice on how to deal with textiles
heavily soiled with oil or grease.
It is important to dispense the
correct amount, because...
...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 building up on heater
elements.
...too much detergent results in:
–
Excessive foam.
–
Low level of agitation.
–
Poor wash, rinse and spin results.
–
A burden to the environment.
–
The water hardness level in the area
If you do not know the hardness level
contact your local water authority
who will be able to advise you.

Adding Detergent
^ Open the detergent dispenser
drawer and add detergent, fabric
conditioner and starch to the correct
compartment as follows:
i = Detergent for the pre-wash
(if this option has been
selected)
j = Detergent for the main wash
p = Fabric conditioner, texturizers
or liquid starch
Water Softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in water
hardness ranges II - IV. Dispense
according to the amount specified on
the packaging. First add detergent and
then the water softener. Dispense the
detergent as required for soft water.
Washing with Several
Components
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
dispense the agents into compartment
j in the following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain removers
This way the agents are distributed
more evenly.
Fabric Conditioners,
Texturizers and Liquid Starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
and fluffy to handle and help prevent
static cling when tumble drying.
20
Texturizers are synthetic starch
formulations which stiffen items of
laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed
linen.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items
of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and
bed linen.

Cleaning and Care
Disconnect the machine from the
mains electricity supply and
withdraw the plug from the socket
prior to cleaning the machine.
Cleaning the Machine
Clean the casing with a mild
^
non-abrasive detergent or soap and
water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Clean the control panel with a damp
^
cloth and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
The drum and any other stainless
^
steel components can be cleaned
using a suitable proprietary stainless
steel cleaning agent. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, disinfecting agents or
solvents.
These can cause considerable
damage to the machine because of
the chemicals they contain.
Extra Cleaning
If you wash mainly with low tempera
tures it is a good idea to carry out a hot
wash approx. every six weeks. This will
help prevent deposits and unpleasant
smells building up in the machine
which can occur when washing is
mainly done at low temperatures. If you
have no reason to wash occasionally at
this high temperature, then run a
Cottons 95°C program with detergent
but no laundry at regular intervals.
-
Avoid contact of stainless steel
surfaces (front, lid, casing) with
liquid cleaning and disinfecting
agents which contain chlorine or
sodium hypochlorite. These agents
can have a corrosive effect on
stainless steel. Aggressive vapours
containing chlorine bleach can also
be corrosive. Do not store open
containers of these agents near the
machine.

^ Carefully unscrew the knurled
coupling connecting the inlet hose to
the check valve which is attached to
the water valve (see "Plumbing").
Put the filter and seal back in the
^
reverse order and reconnect the hose
to the check valve. Turn on the water
valves and check the connection is
watertight.
Inspect the inlet hose as it is subjected
to high pressure while the machine is in
operation. The hose should be
replaced if there is any sign of damage
such as stress cracks in the surface.
If replacing the inlet hose only use a
hose tested to withstand a pressure of
at least 70 bar. Miele original hoses are
tested to this standard.
^
Remove the rubber seal a from the
recess.
^
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar b, remove the filter
and clean.
30
To clean the filter in the water inlet
valve:

FaultPossible causeRemedy
There are white
residues which
look like powder
detergent on dark
coloured laundry.
Grey greasy
particles cling to
washed laundry.
Textiles have
particularly
greasy soiling.
The detergent
contained compounds
(zeolites) to aid water
softening which are not
soluble in water. These
have ended up on the
laundry.
Insufficient amounts of
detergent were used to
break down the
particles of grease in
heavily soiled laundry.
Try and brush off the residues
–
with a soft brush once the
laundry is dry.
Use a liquid detergent to wash
–
dark coloured textiles. Liquid
detergents usually contain no
zeolites.
Add more detergent.
–
Before washing the next load
–
run a COTTONS 95°C program
with powder detergent but
without a load.
– Select a program with
pre-wash.
Use liquid detergent for the
pre-wash.
– In the main wash use ordinary
powder detergent.
The use of heavy-duty detergent
is recommended in the main wash
for very heavily soiled work
clothing.
Consult detergent producers.

Problems with spinning.
FaultPossible causeRemedy
The laundry is
either not spun at
all or not spun
satisfactorily.
The machine
shakes during the
spin cycle.
The "No final spin" k button was pushed in.
The machine was not
able to distribute the
laundry load evenly. To
protect the machine,
laundry was either only
spun at a reduced
speed or not at all.
Large items which
tangle or roll up in the
drum (e.g. bath mats)
can cause an
imbalance during the
spin cycle.
The most likely cause is
that the four machine
feet are not resting
securely on the floor.
Weak floorboards not
only lead to excessive
noise but also to
shaking during the spin
cycle .
Problem Solving Guide
Always make up mixed loads
consisting of large and small
items.
For safety reasons, the machine
does not spin if this is the case.
Attempts to build up spin speed
are repeated, however, until the
time allocated to spinning has
expired.
Level the machine (see
"Installation" - "Levelling the
Machine").
See "Installation" - "Installation

Installation
Installation Surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
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 following points:
The machine must be level and
^
securely positioned.
Do not install the machine near
,
or directly above an open gully or
floor drain. Moisture from these can
penetrate the machine and damage
the electric components.
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden floor joist:
^ We recommend a plywoood base (at
least 70 x 60 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.
If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
If the machine is installed on a
,
raised plinth, it must be secured
using the butt straps supplied with
the machine.
Follow the installation instructions
supplied.
Installation
Lift the machine from its packaging
base and move it to its site.
Please note:
^ Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
,Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor area are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.

Installation
Removing the Transit Fitting
A Turn the left-hand transit bar 90°.
C Withdraw the two bars together with
the support plate.
B Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°.
44
D Plug the holes with the plastic caps
supplied.
The machine must not be moved
without the transit fitting in place.
The transit fitting should be stored in
a safe place for future use. It must
be re-fitted if the machine is to be
moved again (e.g. when moving
house). Re-fitting is carried out by
reversing the procedure.
Levelling the Machine
The machine must stand perfectly level
on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
The four adjustable feet are used to
level the machine. All four feet are
screwed in when the machine is
delivered.
Screwing out and Adjusting the Feet
^
Gently tip the machine and prop it up
using a solid wood wedge for
example, to ensure stability.
,
Make sure the machine does not
slip as this could cause injury.
Installation
Using a screwdriver loosen foot 1
^
together with counter nut 2 by turning
it anti-clockwise, and unscrew to the
required height.
^ Put the machine back on all four feet.
^ Use a spirit level to check the
machine is standing level.
^ Holding foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench use a screwdriver to turn
counternut 2 in a clockwise direction
until it is held firmly up against the
housing.
,
All four counternuts must be
tightened firmly up against the
housing. Please also check this for
the feet which did not need
adjustment. Otherwise there is the
danger of the machine moving
about.

Installation
Plumbing
The machine should be connected to
the water supply in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
Connection to the water supply should
be carried out by a qualified plumber
and should incorporate a valve with a
3/4" thread.
The machine is supplied as standard
with two hoses, for connection to a hot
and cold water supply.
Connection to Cold Water Supply
The approx. 1.5 m long
hose (blue stripes) should be
connected to the check valve on the
valve via the
3
/4" threaded union.
This hose is not suitable for connection
to a hot water supply.
Make sure that the washer sits correctly
in the union.
The connection points are subject to
water pressure. Turn on the valve slowly
and check for leaks. Correct the
positioning of the washers and screw
unions if appropriate.
3
/8" pressure
If replacing the inlet hose only use a
hose tested to withstand pressure of
at least 70 bar. This also applies to all
fittings used. Miele original parts are
tested to this standard.
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available as optional extras.
The pressure hose and solenoid inlet
valve are designed for a water flow
pressure of between 1 and 10 bar. At
higher water pressures it is essential to
fit a reducer valve.
There is a minimum flow pressure of 1
bar if 5 litres of water flow into a
suitable container in 15 seconds.
49
Installation
Connection to Hot Water Supply
To keep electricity consumption costs
down this machine can be connected
to a (ring) piped hot water supply. The
maximum temperature must not exceed
70°C.
It is not economical to run it from an
individual hot water supply if it is not in
continuous use, as the water in the
supply pipes cools down and more
energy would be required to reheat the
water.
For operational reasons the machine
must not be connected to hot water
only.
For hot water connection the same
conditions apply as for cold water
connection.
If the machine is not installed for hot
water connection:
^ Both inlet hoses can be connected to
cold water using an adapter piece,
without the machine being
reprogrammed.
or
^
unscrew inlet hose (red stripes)
^
plug the inlet connection with the cap
supplied.
^
The machine will have to be
reprogrammed by an authorized ser
vice dealer.

Connection to Drainage
Machines with a drain pump
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a max. delivery head of 1 metre.
The 1.5 metre long drain hose must not
be kinked as this would restrict
drainage.
The hook in the end of the drain hose
can be turned or taken off if required.
The drain hose may be connected as
follows:
Direct into a sink (drain pump version
–
LP).
Hook the hose over the edge of the
sink and secure. Make sure that the
water can flow away freely to avoid
flooding and to prevent water from
being sucked back into the machine.
– Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber seal. There is no
need to use a non-return valve.
Drain valve version
A motorised drain valve is used to drain
the machine. The DN 70 angle hose
provided enables the machine to be
drained via an on-site gully (with odour
trap).
– Directed securely into a standpipe,
(seal the hose into the pipe to avoid
flooding in case of the drainpipe
being blocked).
–
Directly into a floor drain (gully).
The drain hose can be extended to 5
metres.
The accessories required can be
purchased from the Miele Spare Parts
Dept.
For draining the water away with a
delivery head over 1 metre (and up to a
max. of 1.8 metres) a 2
pump" can be connected. Contact your
Miele Dealer or the Professional Sales
