Warning and Safety instructions
6
Technical safety
~
Before setting up the washing
machine, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
washing machine.
~
Before connecting the washing
machine, ensure that the connection
data on the data plate (voltage and
connected load) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
~
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. The manufacturer
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 an extension lead. Extension leads
do not guarantee the required safety of
the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~
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.
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
~
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
~
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and the plug is withdrawn, or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, or
the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the
screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
~
This washing machine must only be
connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hoses must
not be re-used.
~
In countries where there are 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
~
This appliance must not be used in
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
~
Do not make any alterations to the
washing machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
Correct use
~
Do not install your washing machine
in rooms where temperatures below
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may
burst or split. The reliability of the
electronic control unit may be impaired
at temperatures below freezing point.
~
Before using the washing machine
for the first time, check that the transit
bars at the rear of the machine have
been removed (see section on
"Installation and connection"). 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 container, drum), which in
turn can result in damage to the
laundry.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
~
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. A
special descaling agent is available to
order from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com.
~
Textiles which have been pre-
treated with solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in
clean water before being washed in the
machine.
~
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents, e.g. those containing benzene,
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.
~
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents, e.g. those containing benzene,
to clean the outside surfaces of this
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.
~
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.
~
Only remove laundry from the
washing machine once the drum has
stopped turning. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous
and could result in injury.
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.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

cancellation of a programme
safety lock
The display also shows:
the programme duration
the programme sequence
Programme duration
After the start of a programme, the
estimated programme duration will
appear in the display in hours and
minutes.
During the first 8 minutes the washing
machine measures how much water is
being absorbed by the laundry and
uses this to calculate the load. The
programme duration may be longer or
shorter depending on this absorbency
rate.
Programmable functions
The programmable functions can be
used to tailor washing programmes to
suit your individual requirements. In
programming mode, the display will
show the function selected.
Operating the washing machine
11
Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection". Also
check that the drain filter is securely
tightened to prevent the risk of water
leaks during use.
This washing machine has
undergone a thorough functional test
in the factory and there will be some
residual water in the drum from this
process.
For safety reasons, spinning is not
possible until the machine has been
prepared for using for the first time. To
activate the spinning function you must
run a wash programme without laundry
and without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an
excessive build-up of foam.
This also activates the ball valve. The
ball valve prevents detergent escaping
from the suds container into the sump
during a wash programme, thus making
maximum use of the detergent.
^
Press the _ button in.
If the washing machine is being
switched on for the first time, the
welcome screen will appear.
The welcome screen will appear in
the display every time the machine is
switched on until a programme
lasting longer than 1 hour has been
completed.
Setting the language
You will be asked to select the
language you require for the display. It
is possible to change the language at
any time via the programmable
functions.
! deutsch
^
If the language shown is not the one
you want, select the language you do
want by turning the programme
selector. Confirm your selection by
pressing the Start/Stop button.
Reminder to remove transit bars
To avoid the risk of damage, the
transit bars must be removed before
the machine is used for the first time.
See "Installation and connection" for
instructions on how to do this.
^ After removing the transit bars (if this
has not already been done by your
fitter), press the Start/Stop button.
Running your first programme
Run the Cottons 60°C programme
without any laundry and without
detergent.

Press the Start/Stop button.
^
At the end of the programme switch
the machine off.
The machine is now ready for use.
Before using for the first time
12
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, time and energy
used. This may mean that the time
left shown in the display is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
Use the Express 20 programme for
small 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
washing machine carry out a hot
wash (60°C or above) using powder
detergent at regular intervals. The
Hygiene info message 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.
1
/
3
less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct extra option
(Short and Pre-wash)
Select:
A wash programme together with the
Short extra option for light soiling
where there are no obvious marks.
A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
The Pre-wash extra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,
sand).
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.
Washing environmentally and economically

Brief instructions
The headings numbered A, B, C,...
show the operating sequence and can
be used as brief instructions.
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.
^
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!
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.
,
If you use a solvent-based clean
-
ing agent (e.g. one containing ben
-
zene) 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.
^
Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
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.
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.
Knitted garments, trousers and
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn
inside out, if recommended by the
manufacturer.
Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.
Fasten duvet covers etc. 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. (h symbol)

B Switch on the washing machine
C Load the drum
^
Press the Door button to open the
drum door.
^
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.
The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is
washed. However, do not overload as
this causes creases and reduces
cleaning efficiency.
Make sure that no items are caught
between the drum door and seal.
^
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
D Select a programme
^
Turn the programme selector
clockwise or anti-clockwise to the
required programme. The
programme indicator light for the
programme selected will come on.

activating the Pre-wash option on its
own as well as a Pre-wash with an
additonal soak time of one or two hours.
Press the button:
x 1 = Pre-wash
x 2 = Pre-wash+1hsoak
x 3 = Pre-wash+2hsoak
x 4 = No options selected
Extra quiet
If using your washing machine during
quiet periods, you can reduce the noise
levels even more.
The machine will activate the Rinse
hold (e) option and not spin if the
Extra quiet option is selected. The
programme duration is longer.
To deactivate Rinse hold
^
Use the Spin speed button to select
the spin speed you want.
How to wash correctly
16
G Add detergent
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 deposits on the heater
elements.
. . . too much results in:
Excessive foam which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
Higher water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
A burden to the environment.
^
Pull out the detergent drawer and
place detergent in the compartments
as follows:
i
Detergent for the pre-wash (divide
the total recommended amount as
follows: add
1
/
3
to compartment i
and
2
/
3
to compartment j).
j
Detergent for the main wash,
including Soak if selected
§
Fabric conditioner or liquid starch
^
Close the detergent drawer.
See "Detergent" for further information.
How to wash correctly
17
H Start the programme
^
Press the flashing Start/Stop button.
The estimated programme duration will
appear in the display once the
programme has started. During the first
8 minutes the machine measures how
much water is being absorbed by the
laundry. The programme duration may
be longer or shorter depending on this
absorbency rate.
The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The washing
machine shows you when each section
of the programme is reached.
I Remove the laundry when the
programme has finished
In the anti-crease phase after the
programme has finished, the following
will appear alternately in the display:
0:00 Anti-crease
and
0:00 Finish
^
Press the Door button to open the
drum door.
^
Remove the laundry.
Check that all items have been
removed from the drum. Items left in
the drum could discolour other items
in the next wash or become
discoloured themselves.
^ Check the folds in the door seal for
any small articles, e.g. buttons which
might be lodged there.
^ Switch the machine off with the
_ button.
^
Close the drum door. Otherwise there
is the danger of objects being placed
inadvertently in the drum. If these
remained unnoticed and were
washed in the next load, they could
damage the laundry.
How to wash correctly

Final spin speed
You can reduce the final spin speed.
However, you cannot select a final spin
speed higher than that shown in the
chart above.
Rinse and interim spin
There is a spin after the main wash and
between the rinses. A reduction in the
final spin speed will also reduce the
interim spin speed. If a spin speed of
less than 700 rpm is selected for a
Cottons programme, an additional rinse
is introduced.
To omit the final spin (Rinse hold)
^
Select the Rinse hold (e) setting
using the Spin speed button. The
laundry will not be spun and will
remain suspended in the final rinse
water. This reduces creasing if the
laundry is not going to be removed
from the drum immediately after the
end of the programme.
To start the final spin
:
The washing machine will display the
maximum spin speed possible. You
can select a spin speed lower than
this. Start the final spin by pressing

The correct detergent
All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable.
Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets
are suitable for full loads, but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets for
smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others, and may not be
suitable for programmes with short durations.
Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk!
Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the
detergent packaging.
See "Optional accessories" at the end of this booklet for details of Miele
branded care products including detergents and fabric conditioner.

Liquid detergent
For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special container
from the Miele Spare Parts Department which sits in the main wash
compartment j. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and
to compartment i for the pre-wash
2)
Use powder detergent
* Specialist detergent
Detergent designed specifically for the wash programme or type of fabric.
** Only use proofing agents containing fluorochemical compounds which are
stated by the manufacturer as being "suitable for use on membrane textiles".
Do not use proofing agents which contain paraffin. Add proofing agents to
compartment §.
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
Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on
soiling.
The water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.

An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Possible cause Remedy
Liquid detergent
does not give the
required result.
Liquid detergents usually
contain no bleaching
agents. They do not
remove fruit, coffee and
tea stains.
Use a general purpose
detergent containing a
bleaching agent.
Add stain removers into
compartment j of the
detergent dispenser drawer
and liquid detergent into a
dispenser ball.
Never put stain removers
and liquid detergent together
in the dispenser drawer.
Grey, greasy
particles cling to
washed laundry.
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 a Cottons 75°C
programme with powder
detergent but without a load.
White residues
which look like
powder detergent
are seen on dark
textiles after
washing.
The detergent contained
compounds (zeolites) to
aid water softening
which are not soluble in
water. They 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.

Problem solving guide
41
Opening the drum door in the
event of a blocked drain outlet
and/or power failure
^
Switch the washing machine off.
There is a lever behind the detergent
drawer fascia panel.
^ Remove the lever.
^
Use it to open the access flap.
Blocked drain outlet
If the drain outlet is blocked, up to
25 litres of water will be retained in the
machine.
,
Caution: if laundry has been
washed at a high temperature, water
draining out of the machine will still
be hot. Danger of scalding!
Procedure for draining the machine
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 waterproof system float
switch. This will prevent the washing
machine from functioning.
^ Place a suitable container under the
access flap.
When draining water from the
machine, do not unscrew the drain
filter completely or take it right out.
^
Slowly and carefully unscrew the
drain filter to let the water out.
If you need to interrupt the flow of
water:
^
Tighten the drain filter back up again.
Problem solving guide
42
Once the flow of water ceases:
^
Remove the drain filter completely.
^ Clean it thoroughly.
^
Remove any foreign objects (e.g.
buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff from the
filter housing. Turn the impeller by
hand to check that it rotates freely.
Any foreign object causing an
obstruction should be removed.
^
Put the drain filter back in place and
secure.
,
Make sure the drain filter is
securely tightened. Otherwise there
is a risk of water leakage during use.
To avoid loss of detergent, pour
approx. 2 litres of water into the
detergent dispenser drawer after
cleaning the drain filter. Excess water
will be pumped out automatically
before the next wash programme.
Opening the drum door
,
Always make sure that the drum
is stationary before reaching into the
machine to remove laundry.
Reaching into a moving drum is
extremely dangerous.
^
Pull the emergency release
downwards (see illustration). The
drum door will open.

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 59x52x3 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 has to be secured
against slippage during spin using
retaining clips (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise
there is the danger of the machine
moving about and falling off the
plinth.
Transporting the washing machine to
its installation site
To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installation site hold
it by the edge of the lid where it
protrudes to the rear of the washing
machine as well as by the front feet.
,
Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
Removing the transit bars

Installation and connection
48
,
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.
^
Secure the transit bars to the back of
the washing machine. Make sure that
the top catch is located above the
holder.
,
The 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.
Installation and connection
49
Levelling the machine
The 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.
^
Using the spanner supplied turn
counternut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then turn counternut 2 together with
foot 1 to unscrew.
^
Use a spirit level to check the
machine is standing level.
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counternut 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 the danger of the machine
moving about.

The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system
protects the washing machine from
water damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit and the washing
machine housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.
2) 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 safety valves,
preventing any more water 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.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being
emptied completely.
Installation and connection
52
Connection to the water
supply
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
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 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a
pressure reducing valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with
3
/
4
" thread. 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.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement or
extension. These are tested to
withstand pressure of at least
7,000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filters - one in the
open end of the inlet hose, one at
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 the Miele Spare Parts Department
as optional extras.
Installation and connection
53
Connection to the drainage
system
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The
drain hose must not be kinked as this
restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at
the end of the hose can be turned in
either direction, or can be detached if
required, with a sharp twist and pull.
If required, the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 5 m. The
necessary parts can purchased from
the Miele Spare Parts Department or
your Miele dealer.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m
(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacement
drain pump will need to be fitted.
Please contact the Miele Spare Parts
Department or your Miele Dealer.
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note the following:
Hook the hose over the edge and
secure.
Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance.
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 non-return
valve.
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
Please note:
