Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the machine 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. 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
potentially 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
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Caring for our environment

Do not let children touch it.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
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 frequency) 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 correctly earthed. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is observed 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 machine (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.
~
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and "Technical data".
~
The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to
disconnect the washing machine from the electricity supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
~
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.
~
If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
~
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the
event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.
~
The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage
provided the following conditions have been met:
the machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the
electricity supply.
if a fault has been identified, the machine must be examined by a
competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.
~
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.
~
This machine 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
~
The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 8 kg. See
the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in
individual programmes.
~
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.
~
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
dissipated.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
~
The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 8 kg. See
the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in

This washing machine is suitable for
operating with automatic detergent
dispensing unit AWD 10.
The detergent dispensing unit and the
washing machine work together via the
Automatic detergent dispensing option.
For this to function correctly you will
need to set some settings in the
washing machine's electronics.
How automatic detergent dispensing
works
If you select automatic dispensing for a
wash programme, the washing
machine will help you by selecting the
correct detergent container and
dosage of detergent. The washing
machine calculates the amount of
detergent required, based on the
dosage set, the amount of laundry it
measures in the drum and the level of
soiling entered for the load. The correct
amount of detergent will then be
dispensed automatically.
The automatic dispensing option may
not be available for some programmes,
depending on which type of detergent
is present in the containers. For
example, if the containers are filled with
a universal powder detergent and a
liquid detergent for coloureds, it will not
be possible to activate automatic
dispensing for the Woollens
programme. This prevents woollen
garments from being damaged by
being washed with the wrong type of
detergent.
Two of the settings in the washing
machine's electronics must be set.
1) The Detergent type present in the
containers.
The following options are available:
Universal powder detergent
Liquid detergent for coloureds
Liquid detergent for delicates
Liquid detergent for delicates and
woollens
2) The Dosage of detergent for
normally soiled laundry.
Do not add any specialist detergents to
the containers, e.g. proofing agent,
detergent for outdoor wear. Dispense
these types of detergents by adding
them to the detergent dispensing
drawer.
Automatic detergent dispensing

Setting the detergent type
The pre-set detergent dosage amounts are based on water

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.
For precise dispensing use the auto
-
matic detergent dispensing unit.
Choosing the correct Extra option
(Short, Soak, 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.
A wash programme together with the
Soak extra option for heavily soiled
laundry.
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.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to textiles and to
components in the machine.
Sorting laundry
^ 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.
Removing marks
^
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.
,
If you use a solvent-based
cleaning agent (e.g. one containing
benzene) 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 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, 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 machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label (h symbol).

programme chosen.
In addition to the load size percentage the amount of
detergent required is also shown as a % figure.
The load is shown in the display in 25% steps. Loads of less
than 25% or an empty drum are shown as
<25%. Drum
overloaded will appear if too much laundry is placed in the
drum.
^ 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.

of the detergent dispenser drawer are
not flushed through with water.
If you want to add stain remover, either
1. Fill a detergent dispensing ball with
stain remover and place the ball in
the drum with the laundry.
or
2. Deactivate Automatic dispensing.
Add both detergent and stain
remover to the detergent dispenser
drawer.
Adding fabric conditioner or liquid
starch
Add fabric conditioner and liquid starch
to compartment §. The agent will be
dispensed with the final rinse.
B. Detergent dispenser drawer
Please note:
The percentage amounts in the display
will help you to add the correct
percentage amount of detergent
recommended by the manufacturer.
The percentage shown relates to the
amount of detergent recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
50% = Add half the amount
recommended
60% = Add slightly more than half
the amount recommended
75% = Add three quarters of the
amount recommended
100% = Add the full amount of
detergent recommended
Take the level of soiling and water
hardness into account.
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 laundry.
Limescale deposits on the heater
elements.
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
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
A burden to the environment.

of a programme, the machine will always complete the
programme cycle assuming a full load which can lead to a
change in the programme duration shown in the display.
The door cannot be opened if:
the suds temperature is above 55°C.
the water is above a certain level.
the programme has reached the Final spin stage.
If you press the / button when the above conditions are

following will appear alternately in the
display:
Anti-crease
and
Programme finished. Unload the drum,
before switching off
,
Caution. After using the steam
function, there is 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
dissipated.
^ Press the / button to open the drum
door.
^ Remove the laundry.
The washing machine will switch off
automatically 15 minutes after the
end of the anti-crease phase. You will
need to press the K button to switch
it back on again.
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.
Important
Always remove the laundry before
switching the machine off. This is
important to ensure that the load size
indicator works correctly.
^
Switch the machine off with the K
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.
6. Programme end - unload the drum

Steam smoothing
At the end of the programme, the
laundry is dampened with steam in
order to reduce creasing. The
maximum load is 2.0 kg, as smaller
loads give a better result.
Soak
For heavily soiled and stained items
with protein stains (e.g. blood, fats and
oils, cocoa).
A duration of between 30 minutes and 6
hours can be chosen in 30 minute
increments for the soak process.
Extra quiet
If using your washing machine during
quiet periods, you can reduce the noise
levels even more.
If the Extra quiet extra option is
selected, the machine will activate the
Rinse hold extra option and not spin.
The programme duration is longer.
To deactivate Rinse hold
^
Call up the Extras sub-menu and
deactivate the Rinse hold extra
option.
The following will appear in the display:
Tip: Select "Start at" or "Finish at"
so that the final spin will take place
when it will not disturb you
Short
For light to normal soiling with no visible
staining.
The duration of the main wash is
reduced.
Rinse hold
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. See "Spinning"
for more details.
Pre-wash
For laundry with large amounts of dirt
e.g. dust, sand.
Water plus
The water level in the main wash and
the rinses will be increased.
Extra rinse
An additional rinse cycle is carried out
to achieve a better rinse result.

This machine has fully electronic
controls with automatic load
recognition. It takes in the right amount
of water required for the programme
depending on the amount of laundry
and its absorbency rate. This means
that programme cycles and durations
can vary.
The programme sequences outlined in
the chart are based on the basic
programme with a full load. Extra
options which can be selected have not
been taken into account.
The display shows the stage the
programme has reached.
Special features in the programme
sequences:
Anti-crease:
At the end of every programme, with
the exception of the Woollens
programme, the drum continues to turn
at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help
prevent creasing.
The door can be opened and laundry
removed at any time during the anti-
crease phase.
1)
A second rinse is carried out when a
temperature between 60°C and 90°C
has been selected. A third rinse is
carried out when a temperature
below 60°C is selected.
2)
A third or fourth rinse is carried out if:
there is too much foam in the drum
a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has
been selected
The spin speed has been
deselected.
3)
A third rinse is carried out if:
The spin has been deselected.
4)
In the Outerwear programme,
laundry is only spun after the main
wash.
5)
Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is
carried out before the wash process
begins, to deflate down-filled items.
Subsequent water intake for the main
wash is through compartment j.
6)
Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse without
detergent is carried out automatically
to remove dust.

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.

^
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 water protection 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
68
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

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 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 machine as
well as by the handle recesses at the
front.
,
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
74
,
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
75
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 Waterproof system
The Miele Waterproof 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 is fitted with an
additional electrical safety valve
which works like an automatic
stopcock and is housed in the inlet
hose connection box.
It is pressure tested to between
7,000 and 10,000 kPa.
The inlet hose has a protective
sleeve.
Any leaking water from the inlet hose
is fed into the sump through this
protective sleeve. A float switches off
the safety valve, preventing any
more water from flowing into the
machine and water in the suds
container is pumped away.
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 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.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being
emptied completely.
Installation and connection
78
Connection to the water supply
,
The plastic casing of the safety
valve contains electrical
components. The Waterproof system
must only be connected to its own
stopcock. It must not be connected
to mixer taps or similar and must not
be fitted in areas where there is the
risk of water or other liquids
reaching it.
Do not get wet.
The protective sleeve of the hose
must not be damaged or kinked.
The machine should be connected to
the 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
and 1,000 kPa (1-10 bar). 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.
Installation and connection
79
Maintenance and care
If you intend to unscrew the Miele
Waterproof system hose from the
stopcock it is essential to disconnect
the machine from the electricity supply
first.
Only use a Miele Waterproof system
hose should you need a replacement.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet
valve connection must not be
removed.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose
is available from your Miele dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Department as an
optional extra.
This hose is tested to withstand
pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can
be used as a flexible extension to the
water supply.
N.B. Using this hose renders the
Waterproof system safety valve on the
inlet hose ineffective.
Installation and connection
80
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
