Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance 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 manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap-
pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons-
ible (by law, depending on country) for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed
of. Please ensure that your old appli-
ance poses no risk to children while be-
ing stored prior to disposal.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
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 mainten-
ance.
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 in-
correct 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 con-
sequences of incorrect operation.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
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-
supervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recog-
nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washing
machine unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine
and do not let them play with it.
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 qualified elec-
trician.
Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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 ori-
ginal 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 war-
ranty.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when
cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.
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.
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 warranty.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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 im-
mediate 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, pa-
per clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.
These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds con-
tainer, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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
washed 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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, warranty, performance and product li-
ability 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-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Washing environmentally and economically
19
Energy and water consumption
– To get the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load for the
programme you are using.
The energy and water consumption
will be the lowest in relation to the
size of the load.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load control
system will reduce the amount of wa-
ter 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). Using lower temperature set-
tings will save energy.
– Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergents can cause
bacteria and odours to build up in the
washing machine. Miele therefore re-
commends cleaning the washing ma-
chine once every month.
The washing machine reminds you to
do so with the following message in
the display: Hygiene info: run a pro-
gramme at min. 75 °C or the "Clean ma-
chine" programme.
Detergent
– 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. ⅓ 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.
1. Prepare the laundry
20
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause damage
to garments and to components in
the machine.
Check the laundry before washing
and remove any foreign objects.
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,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Tip: Badly soiled areas can be pre-
treated with liquid detergent, stain re-
movers etc. first, following the manu-
facturer's instructions. With particularly
stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for
advice.
Solvent-based cleaners (e.g.
benzine) can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g. but-
tons) are protected from cleaning
agent.
Chemical (solvent-based) clean-
ing agents can cause severe damage
to the washing 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, 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
22
Open the door
Reach under the door grip and pull
the door open.
Check the drum for pets or foreign
objects before loading it with laun-
dry.
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.
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.
Tip: Please note the maximum load for
the different wash programmes. The rel-
evant programme load is always shown
in the display when you select a pro-
gramme.

5. Add detergent
26
There are several options for adding de-
tergent.
Detergent dispenser drawer
Any detergent suitable for automatic
front loading washing machines can be
used. Please observe the instructions
for use and dosage on the detergent
packaging.
Adding detergent
Pull out the detergent drawer and add
detergent to the compartments.
Detergent for the pre-wash
Detergent for the main wash and
soaking
Fabric softener, liquid starch, or
capsules
Adding fabric conditioner
Add fabric conditioner or liquid starch
to the compartment. Do not ex-
ceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the
final rinse. At the end of the programme
a small amount of water remains in the
compartment.
If starching frequently, thoroughly
clean the dispenser compartment,
especially the siphon tube, regularly.
5. Add detergent
27
Tips on dosing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level
of soiling of the laundry and the size of
the load. Reduce the amount of deter-
gent with smaller loads (e.g. reduce the
amount of detergent by ⅓ when wash-
ing a half load).
Too little detergent:
– Results in laundry not being cleaned
properly and may cause it to become
grey and hard to the touch over time.
– Can lead to a build-up of mould in
the washing machine.
– Results in grease not being com-
pletely removed from the laundry.
– Can lead to limescale deposits on the
heater elements.
Too much detergent
– Causes poor wash, rinse, and spin
results.
– Causes higher water consumption as
an extra rinse cycle is automatically
activated.
– Is a greater burden on the environ-
ment.
Using detergent tablets or pods
Always put detergent tablets or pods
directly in the drum with the laundry.
They cannot be added via the detergent
dispenser drawer.
See "Detergent" for further information.
5. Add detergent
28
CapDosing
Three different types of capsule are
available:
= Fabric care (e.g. fabric condi-
tioner, proofing agent)
= Additives (e.g. detergent en-
hancers)
= Detergent (for the main wash
only)
Each capsule contains the correct
amount for one wash cycle.
You can order the capsules online at
www.miele-shop.com or from Miele
(see the end of this booklet for contact
details).
Keep capsules out of the reach
of children.
Activating CapDosing
Touch the sensor.
The following appears in the display:
OK
No Cap
Touch the  sensors until the cap-
sule you want appears in the display.

Open the lid of the / compart-
ment.
Press the capsule in firmly.
5. Add detergent
29
Close the lid and press it firmly shut.
Close the detergent dispenser
drawer.
The capsule is opened by the act of
inserting it in the detergent dispenser
drawer. The contents can run out of
the capsule if you then remove it
from the drawer before it is used.
In this case, dispose of the capsule
and do not re-use it.
The wash programme will dispense the
contents of the capsule at the correct
time.
Water intake to the compartment
is solely via the capsule.
No additional fabric conditioner may
be added to the compartment
when using a capsule.
Remove the empty capsule at the
end of the programme.
For technical reasons a small amount
of water will remain in the capsule.
Deactivating or changing Cap-
Dosing
CapDosing can only be deactivated or
changed prior to programme start.
Touch the sensor.
Select No Cap (deactivate) or a differ-
ent type of capsule (change).

Settings /maintenance
Settings
You can use the settings function to alter the washing machine's electronics to suit
changing requirements. See "Settings" for more detailed information.
Maintenance
The washing machine has a maintenance programme.
Clean machine 85°C No load
With frequent washing at low temperatures there is a danger of a build-up of
bacteria in the washing machine.
Cleaning the washing machine will significantly reduce bacteria, mould, and
biofilm and prevent the build-up of unpleasant odours.
Notes – Optimum results can be achieved by using Miele machine cleaner.
Alternatively, a universal powder detergent can be used.
– Dispense the washing machine cleaner or universal detergent dir-
ectly in the drum.
– Do not load any laundry. The drum must be empty for the cleaning
programme.
Extra options

SingleWash
For efficiently washing a very small load
(<1kg) in a normal wash programme.
The wash duration is reduced.
Please note the following advice:
– Use liquid detergent
– Reduce the dosage to a maximum of
50% of the amount quoted for a ½
load
Pre-ironing
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry
undergoes a smoothing process at the
end of the programme. Reducing the
maximum load by 50% will give a better
result. Follow the instructions in the dis-
play. Small loads give a better result.
The garments must be suitable for dry-
ing in a tumble dryer   and suitable
for ironing  .
Water +

hours can be chosen for the soak pro-
cess in 30 minute increments. See "Set-
tings" for more information.
The factory default setting is 30
minutes.
Intensive
For hard-wearing laundry that is very
heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is in-
creased through more intense mechan-
ical action and the application of more
heat energy.
Extra quiet
This option reduces noise levels during
the wash programme. Use this if you
want to wash during quiet periods (for
instance when children are sleeping).
The final spin is automatically reduced
to (Rinse hold). The programme
duration is increased.
Extra gentle
Drum rotation and wash duration are re-
duced. Lightly soiled fabrics are
washed more gently.
AllergoWash
This option should be used where high
standards of hygiene are required. More
energy is used to lengthen temperature
holding times and more water is used to
increase rinsing efficiency. The items
must be suitable for drying in a tumble
dryer   and suitable for ironing
.

This washing machine has fully elec-
tronic controls with automatic load con-
trol. The washing machine takes in the
right amount of water required for the
programme depending on the amount
of laundry and its absorbency rate.
The programme sequences outlined in
the chart are based on the basic pro-
gramme with a full load.
The washing machine programme se-
quence display shows which stage of
the programme has been reached.
Special features in the pro-
gramme sequence
Anti-crease:
at the end of the programme the drum
continues to turn at intervals for up to
30 minutes to help prevent creasing.
Exception:
There is no anti-crease
phase in the Woollens and Silks
programmes.
The door can be opened at any time
during the anti-crease phase.
1)
If a temperature of 60°C or higher is
selected, and with and ,
two rinses are carried out. If a tem-
perature of less than 60°C is selec-
ted, three rinses are carried out.
2)
An additional rinse is carried out if:
– there is too much foam in the drum
– a spin speed lower than 700rpm has
been selected.
3)
An additional rinse is carried out if:
– Water + has been selected and the
options Extra rinse or Extra water +

PowerWash 2.0
PowerWash 2.0, a washing technique
developed by Miele, is activated in the
following programmes with small and
medium-sized loads:
– Cottons
– Minimum iron
– Shirts
– Automatic plus
How it works
Conventional washing techniques wash
with more water than the laundry can
absorb. This total volume of water
needs to be heated.
The PowerWash 2.0 washing technique
only uses slightly more water than the
laundry can absorb. The water which
has not been absorbed by the laundry
heats up the drum and the laundry and
is sprayed into the laundry over and
over again. This reduces the amount of
energy used.
Activation
The washing machine calculates the
size of the load at the beginning of the
wash programme. PowerWash 2.0 is
activated if the following conditions are
present:
– There is a small to medium-sized
laundry load in the drum.
– The temperature selected does not
exceed 60°C.
– The final spin speed selected is not
lower than 600rpm.
– CapDosing (, ) ) has not been se-
lected for the main wash.
With some options (e.g. Pre-wash,
Water +) PowerWash 2.0 is not activ-
ated.
Special features
– Drenching phase
The washing machine will spin a few
times at the beginning of the pro-
gramme. During spinning, the water
discharged is sprayed back into the
laundry in order to achieve optimum
moisture penetration.
The optimum water level is set at the
end of the drenching phase. If neces-
sary, the washing machine will pump
water away or take in a little more
fresh water.
– Noises during the heating phase
Unusual bubbling noises can occur
while the laundry and the drum are
being heated.
– Detergent
Dispense the correct amount of de-
tergent (with smaller loads).

Detergent
46
The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic
washing machines are suitable. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
dosage recommendations on the pack-
aging.
For users in Asia:
please use a low foaming detergent
suitable for use in front-loading ma-
chines
The right amount to dispense
will depend on the following:
– the soiling level of the load
– the quantity of the laundry
– the water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in areas
with water hardness levels II and III.
Dispense according to the amount spe-
cified on the packaging. First add deter-
gent and then the water softener.
You can then use the recommended
amount of detergent for water hardness
level I.
Water hardness levels

Dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent, particu-
larly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent buy refill
packs wherever possible. This helps re-
duce the amount of waste packaging.
Fabric conditioner and liquid
starch
Fabric conditioner
makes garments soft to handle and
helps prevent static cling when tumble
drying.
Starch
stiffens and gives body to items of laun-
dry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed
linen.

gramme.
Change the spin speed if necessary.
Activate the sensor if using a cap-
sule.
Touch the Start/Stop sensor.
Colour run and dye removers/
dyes
Colour run and dye removers
can cause corrosion in the washing
machine.
Do not use colour run or dye re-
movers in this washing machine.
Dyes suitable for use in domestic wash-
ing machines can be used. However,
please note that the salt used in the
dyeing process can cause corrosion to
stainless steel components in the ma-
chine if you use dye frequently. Always
observe the dye manufacturer's instruc-
tions carefully.
When using the machine to dye
fabric it is essential to select the Wa-
ter + option.

If clogged, the siphon in the /
compartment will not work and the
compartment can overflow.
Clean the siphon particularly thor-
oughly after using liquid starch a few
times.
1. Remove the siphon from com-
partment and clean under warm run-
ning water. Clean the siphon tube in
the same way.
2. Replace the siphon.

gent residues and limescale from the
jets inside the detergent dispenser
drawer compartment.
Replace the detergent dispenser
drawer.
Tip: Leave the detergent dispenser
drawer slightly open to allow it to dry.
Cleaning and care
52
Cleaning the water inlet filters
The washing machine has two filters to
protect the water inlet valve. These fil-
ters should be checked every six
months or so, or more often if there are
frequent interruptions to the water sup-
ply.
To clean the filter in the union in the
open end of the inlet hose:
First turn off the stopcock.
Unscrew the inlet hose from the stop-
cock.
Remove the rubber seal 1 from the
recess.
Using pointed pliers, take hold of the
plastic filter bar 2 and remove it.
Clean the filter.

Large amounts of deter-
gent residue remain in
the detergent dispens-
ing drawer.
The water pressure is too low.
Clean the water inlet filter.
Please note that the water pressure must be at
least 100 kPa (1 bar).
Powder detergent used in conjunction with water
softeners tends to become sticky.
Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and, in the
future, add washing powder to the dispensing
drawer first, and then add the water softener.
Fabric conditioner is not
completely dispensed
or too much water re-
mains in the com-
partment.
The siphon tube is not correctly positioned or is
clogged.
Clean the siphon, see "Cleaning and care - Clean-
ing the detergent dispenser drawer".
At the end of the pro-
gramme there is still li-
quid in the capsule.
The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer onto
which the capsule is placed is blocked.

An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Cause and remedy
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 the Maintenance
wash using Miele machine cleaner or a powder de-
tergent.
White residues which
look like powder deter-
gent are seen on dark
textiles after washing.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid
water softening which are not soluble in water. These
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 con-
tains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain
no zeolites.
Use the Dark garments / Denim programme for
dark coloured laundry.

Procedure for draining the washing
machine
When draining water from the ma-
chine, do not unscrew the drain fil-
ters completely or take them right
out.
Place a suitable container, e.g. a
Miele universal oven tray under the
access panel.
Slowly and carefully unscrew the fil-
ters to let the water out. 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 float switch. This
will prevent the washing machine
from functioning.
Tighten the drain filters back up again
if you need to interrupt the flow of
water.
Once the flow of water ceases:

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable in-
stallation surface for a washing ma-
chine, 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 se-
curely 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 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base
should span several joists and be
bolted to the joist and not only the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
Tip: If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
There is the danger of the wash-
ing machine moving about during
spinning and falling off a plinth.
For this reason, if the machine is in-
stalled on a raised plinth (concrete or
brick), it has to be secured against
slippage using an MTS floor/plinth
mounting kit (available from Miele).
Transporting the washing ma-
chine to its installation site
Make sure the fixings at the back
of the lid are secure.
Otherwise there is a danger of the lid
being pulled off when carrying the
machine.
Before carrying the machine check
that the lid is secure where it pro-
trudes at the back of the machine.
Carry the washing machine by the
front feet and the protruding lid at the
back.
Removing the transit bars
To remove the left and right covers
1. Pull on the attached stopper,
2. then use a screwdriver to release the
catches at the top and bottom.

Installation and connection
68
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 the
top catch is located above the holder.
The washing 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
69
Levelling the machine
The washing machine must stand per-
fectly level on all four feet to ensure
safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase elec-
tricity 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 de-
livered.
Using the spanner supplied turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then turn counter nut 2 together with
foot 1 to unscrew.
Use a spirit level to check that the
washing machine is standing level.
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again us-
ing 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 a danger of the machine
moving about.

Building under a continuous work-
top/ in a kitchen run
Building under kits* must only be in-
stalled/dismantled by a suitably qual-
ified fitter in accordance with the in-
structions supplied.
– A special building under kit* with a
cover plate to replace the machine lid
is required. It must be fitted by a suit-
ably qualified fitter to ensure elec-
trical safety. N.B. If there is space to
push the washing machine under the
worktop without removing the lid, the
building under kit is not necessary.
Otherwise it is essential.
– Connections for electricity, water and
drainage should be installed in such a
way that they remain accessible
when the machine is in its final posi-
tion.
Fitting instructions are supplied with the
conversion kit.
Washer-dryer stack
The washing machine can be combined
with a Miele tumble dryer in a washer-
dryer stack. The appropriate "WTV"

The water protection system
The Miele water protection system pro-
tects all parts of the washing machine
from water damage.
The system consists of three main com-
ponents:
– the inlet hose
– the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
– the drain hose
Inlet hose
– Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressure of at least 7,000kPa.
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 water inlet
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.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ventila-
tion system which prevents the washing
machine from being emptied com-
pletely.
Installation and connection
72
Connection to the water supply
The washing machine should be con-
nected to a mains water supply in ac-
cordance with current local and national
safety regulations. The German author-
ities do not require it to have a non-re-
turn valve as the washing machine has
been designed to comply with DIN reg-
ulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 100
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 ¾" threaded union. 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
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been pressure tested to withstand at
least 7,000kPa should you ever need a
replacement.
A filter is located in the open end of
the inlet hose and another in the in-
take point to protect the inlet valve.
Neither filter may be removed.
Hose extension
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from your Miele Dealer or
Miele as optional extras.
Installation and connection
73
Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m delivery head. For the
water to drain freely, the hose must be
free of kinks.
If required, the hose can be extended to
a length of up to 5m. Accessories are
available from Miele or from 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 Miele for advice.
For a delivery head of 1.8 m the hose
can be extended to a length of up to 2.5
m. Accessories are available from Miele
or from your Miele dealer.
Drainage options:
1. Directed into a sink or basin:
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure it.
– If the water is pumped into a
washbasin, make sure that it can
drain away freely. 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 siphon).
3. Connected securely to a floor drain
(gully).
4. Connected securely to a washbasin

Directive 1061/2010
Consumption data can vary from the nominal values given depending on water
pressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature, room temperature, type and
volume of load, fluctuations in the electricity supply and any extras selected.
With the PowerWash 2.0 washing technique, during the heating phase, the tem-
perature measured by the sensor in the suds container is higher than the actual
temperature of the laundry.
The temperature measured there does not reflect the temperature of the laun-
dry.

sufferers as it achieves excellent rinse
results. The water consumption will be
increased.
The maximum rinse level is deactivated
as standard.
Suds cooling
Additional water flows into the drum at
the end of the main wash to cool the
suds down.
Suds cooling takes place when a Cot-
tons programme with a temperature of
70°C or higher is selected.
Suds cooling should be activated:
– to prevent the danger of scalding if
the drain hose is hooked over the
edge of a sink or basin.
– where the drainage pipes do not
comply with DIN 1986.
Suds cooling is deactivated as stand-
ard.
Low water pressure
If the water pressure is below 100kPa
(1bar), the programme will be can-
celled and a fault message will appear.
If the on-site water pressure cannot be
increased, activating this function will
prevent the programme from being can-
celled.
Low water pressure is deactivated as
standard.
Anti-crease
The Anti-crease function reduces
creasing after the end of the pro-
gramme.
At the end of the programme, the drum
continues to turn at intervals for up to
30 min. The washing machine door can
be unlocked at any time by touching the
Start/Stop sensor and then opened.
