Older children may only use the appliance when its operation hasbeen clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,recognising the dangers of misuse.

Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under thesupervision of an adult.

Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machineand 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 externallyvisible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.

Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that theconnection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage andfrequency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt,consult a qualified electrician.

Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only beassured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.


9

The electrical safety of this washing machine can only beguaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effectiveearthing system which complies with current local and nationalsafety regulations. It is most important that this basic safetyrequirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is anydoubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by aqualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for theconsequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electricshock).

Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricitysupply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These donot guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due tothe risk of overheating).

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance whenMiele replacement parts are used.

The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation sothat the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply ifnecessary.

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for theuser, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only beundertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise anysubsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by aMiele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.


10

In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washingmachine 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 circuit breaker.

The Miele Waterproof system protects from water damageprovided the following conditions have been met:

– The machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to theelectricity supply.

– If a fault or damage has been identified, the machine must beexamined by a competent person before further use, and repairedif necessary.

The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should notexceed 1000 kPa.

This washing machine must not be installed and operated inmobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised todo so by Miele.

This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to copewith particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemicalresistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lampmust only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is notsuitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be replacedby a Miele authorised technician.


11

Correct use

Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a riskof frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of theelectronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures belowfreezing point.

Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transitbars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see “Installationand connection - Removing the transit bars”). During spinning, atransit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both themachine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time(e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in theimmediate vicinity.

Flooding danger. If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water candrain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Makesure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowingout 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. sudscontainer, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.


12

Take care when opening the drum door after using the steamfunction. There is a danger of burning due to escaping steam andthe high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as theporthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until thesteam has dissipated.

The maximum load for this washing machine is 9 kg (dry weight).See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loadsfor individual programmes.

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machineshould not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descaleit, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent.Miele recommends using Miele descaler for washing machineswhich is available to order online at shop.miele.com (depending oncountry) or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on thepackaging.

Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaningagents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before beingwashed in the machine.

Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containingbenzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to componentparts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire andexplosion hazard.

Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containingbenzine, to clean the external surfaces of the machine. They cancause damage to plastic surfaces.

Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable foruse in a domestic washing machine. Always observe themanufacturer's instructions carefully.


13

Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds whichcan cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products inthis machine.

If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse themthoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seekmedical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label forreference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoidtheir skin coming into contact with detergent.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with thisappliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturersare used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot acceptliability.

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washingmachine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optionalaccessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Mielewashing machine and Miele tumble dryer.

Energy and water consumption– To get the most out of your machine,

load the maximum dry load for theprogramme you are using.The energy and water consumptionwill be the lowest in relation to thesize of the load.

– When smaller amounts of laundry arewashed, the Auto load control systemwill reduce the amount of water andenergy used.

– Use the Express 20 programme forsmall, lightly soiled loads.

– Modern detergents make it possibleto wash at lower temperatures (e.g.20°C). Using lower temperaturesettings will save energy.

– Washing at low temperatures and/orusing liquid detergents can causebacteria and odours to build up in thewashing machine. Miele thereforerecommends cleaning the washingmachine once every month.

The washing machine reminds you todo so with the following message inthe display: Hygiene info: Select"Maintenance" and start the "Cleanmachine" programme..

– Use the hot water connection to saveenergy.

Detergent consumption– For precise dispensing, use

automatic detergent dispensing.

– Adjust the dosage to the degree ofsoiling of the laundry.

– Do not exceed the amounts ofdetergent recommended by themanufacturer on the packaging.

Badly soiled areas and stains shouldbe cleaned as soon as possible,preferably whilst still fresh. Spillagesshould be carefully dabbed off usinga soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.

Useful tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg,coffee, tea) can be pre-treated usingsome handy tricks which can be foundin the Miele guide to laundry care.Please contact Miele to obtain a copyof this booklet.

Damage due to solvent-basedcleaning agents.Cleaning agents containing benzine,stain remover, etc., can damageplastic parts.When pre-treating garments, makesure that any plastic parts (e.g.buttons) do not come into contactwith cleaning agent.

Risk of explosion due to solvent-based cleaning agents.If solvent-based cleaning agents areused, an explosive mixture can form.Never use solvent-based cleaningagents in the washing machine.

General tips– Curtains: Remove lead weights first

or place in a laundry bag.– Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any

loose wiring in bras, shirt collarstiffeners, etc. should be removed orsewn in.

4. Loading the washing machine

32

Opening the door


Check the drum for pets or foreignobjects before loading it withlaundry.

The most efficient use of energy andwater is achieved when a full load iswashed. However, do not overload asthis reduces cleaning efficiency andcauses creasing.

Unfold the laundry and load loosely inthe drum.

Mixing both large and small itemsgives better wash results and alsohelps distribute the load evenly duringspinning.

Useful tip: The maximum load for theprogramme selected will appear in thepull-down menu.

Closing the door

Make sure that no items are caughtbetween the door and the seal.

Shut the door with a gentle swing.

5. Adding detergent

33

There are several options for addingdetergent.

TwinDosThe washing machine is equipped withthe TwinDos system.

TwinDos has to be activated asdescribed in “Before using for the firsttime”.

How UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2work

UltraPhase 1 is a liquid detergent whichdissolves dirt and removes the mostcommon stains. UltraPhase 2 is ableaching agent and removes stubbornstains. For the best washing result,these two agents are dispensed atseparate times during the washprocess. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2clean white and coloured fabricsthoroughly. UltraPhase 1 andUltraPhase 2 single use cartridges areavailable to order from Miele or via theinternet at shop.miele.com (see the endof this booklet for details).

Activating TwinDos dispensing

TwinDos dispensing is automaticallyactivated for all programmes in whichdispensing is possible.

Useful tip: The detergent dispensingquantities are preset. If too much foambuilds up, the dispensing quantity canbe reduced via the Settings /Programme sequence / TwinDos menu.

Changing TwinDos dispensing

You can change the suggested colourcomposition of the laundry.

Touch the TwinDos sensor and selectthe colour composition of yourlaundry.

Deactivating TwinDos dispensing

Touch the TwinDos sensor.

Touch the Off sensor.

Removing the detergent cartridges

Degree of soiling

The level of soiling in laundry is dividedinto three settings:

– LightNo visible soiling or stains

– NormalVisibly soiled and/or just a few slightstains

– HeavyHeavily soiled and/or stains clearlyvisible.

The dispensing amount for TwinDosand the amount of water required forrinsing is preset for the Normal levelof soiling.

Touch the TwinDos sensor to select adifferent level of soiling.

The amount of detergent and water willbe adjusted to suit the selected level ofsoiling.

Some programmes will not let you setthe level of soiling. These programmesare designed for lightly soiled laundryonly.

Using other methods to removestains

If you wish to use additional methods ofstain removal, you have the followingoptions:

– Using the Booster cap and activatingCapDosing.

– Add stain remover to the compartment.

5. Adding detergent

35

Detergent dispenser drawerAny detergent suitable for automaticfront loading washing machines can beused with this appliance. Pleaseobserve the instructions for use anddosage on the detergent packaging.

Ensure that TwinDos dispensing isdeactivated.

Filling with detergent

Pull out the detergent drawer and adddetergents to the compartments.

Detergent for the pre-wash (dividethe total recommended amount asfollows: add ⅓ to compartment and ⅔ to compartment )

Detergent for the main wash andsoaking

Fabric softener, liquid starch, orcapsules

See “Detergent” for further information.

Adding fabric softener

Add fabric softener or liquid starch tothe compartment. Do not exceedthe maximum level mark.

It will be automatically dispensed in thefinal rinse. At the end of the programmea small amount of water remains in thefabric softener compartment.

If starching frequently, thoroughlyclean the dispenser compartment,especially the siphon tube, regularly.

5. Adding detergent

36

Tips on dosing

Adjust the detergent dosage to the levelof soiling of the laundry and the size ofthe load. Reduce the amount ofdetergent with smaller loads (e.g.reduce the amount of detergent by ⅓when washing a half load).

Too little detergent results in:

– laundry not getting properly cleanand with time it may become greyand hard to the touch.

– a build-up of mould in the washingmachine.

– grease not being completely removedfrom the laundry.

– limescale deposits on the heaterelements.

Too much detergent results in:

– poor wash, rinse, and spin results.

– a higher water consumption as anextra rinse cycle is automaticallyactivated.

– a greater burden on the environment.

Using liquid detergent with a pre-wash

Liquid detergent cannot be used for themain wash if the pre-wash has beenselected.

Use TwinDos dispensing if you areactivating the pre-wash.

Using detergent tablets or pods

Always put detergent tablets or podsdirectly in the drum with the laundry.They cannot be added via the detergentdispenser drawer.

See “Detergent” for further informationon detergents and dosage.

5. Adding detergent

37

CapDosingIf you selected CapDosing when settingthe programme, detergent will bedispensed via the capsule for this washprogramme.

Three different types of capsule areavailable:

= Fabric care (e.g. fabricsoftener)

= Additives (e.g. detergentenhancers)

= Detergent (for the main washonly)

Depending on the setting selected, thedetergent, additive or fabric care agentwill be dispensed via the capsule.

Each capsule contains the correctamount for one wash cycle.

Caps are available to order from Mieleor from the Miele online shop (see theend of this booklet for contact details).

1. Clean machine for cleaning the washing machine.

2. Clean "TwinDos" for maintenance of the TwinDos compartments /. See“Cleaning and care – TwinDos maintenance” for more details.

Clean machine 85°C No load

With frequent washing at low temperatures there is a danger of a build-up ofbacteria in the washing machine.

Cleaning the washing machine will significantly reduce bacteria, mould, andbiofilm and prevent the build-up of unpleasant odours.

Notes – Optimum results can be achieved by using the Miele IntenseCleanmachine cleaner. Alternatively, a universal powder detergent canbe used.

– Dispense the washing machine cleaner or universal detergentdirectly in the drum.

– Do not load any laundry. The drum must be empty for thismachine maintenance wash.

Please note the following advice:

– Use liquid detergent

– Reduce the dosage to a maximum of50% of the amount quoted for a½ load

Pre-ironingIn order to reduce creasing, the laundryundergoes a smoothing process at theend of the programme. Reducing themaximum load by 50% will give a betterresult. Follow the instructions in thedisplay. Small loads give a better result.

The garments must be suitable fordrying in a tumble dryer andsuitable for ironing .

A duration of between 30 minutes and6 hours can be chosen for the soakprocess in 30-minute increments. See“Settings” for more information.

The factory default setting is30 minutes.

IntensiveFor hard-wearing laundry that is veryheavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency isincreased through more intensemechanical action and the applicationof more heat energy.

AllergoWashThis option should be used where highstandards of hygiene are required. Moreenergy is used to lengthen temperatureholding times and more water is used toincrease rinsing efficiency. The itemsmust be suitable for drying in a tumbledryer and suitable for ironing .

Extra gentleDrum rotation and wash duration arereduced. Lightly soiled fabrics arewashed more gently.

Extra quietThis option reduces noise levels duringthe wash programme. Use this if youwant to wash during quiet periods (forinstance when children are sleeping).The final spin is automatically reducedto (Rinse hold). The programmeduration is increased.

Rinse holdThe laundry is not spun after the finalrinse and remains in the final rinsewater. This helps prevent creasing if thelaundry is not going to be removed fromthe drum immediately after the end ofthe programme.

This washing machine has fullyelectronic controls with automatic loadcontrol. The washing machine takes inthe right amount of water required forthe programme depending on theamount of laundry and its absorbencyrate.

The programme sequences outlined inthe chart are based on the basicprogramme with a full load.

The washing machine programmesequence display shows which stage ofthe programme has been reached.

Special features in theprogramme sequenceAnti-crease:At the end of the programme the drumcontinues to turn at intervals for up to30 minutes to help prevent creasing.Exception: There is no anti-creasephase in the Woollens and Silks programmes.The door can be opened at any timeduring the anti-crease phase.1) If a temperature of 60°C or higher is

selected, two rinses are carried out. Ifa temperature of less than 60°C isselected, three rinses are carried out.

PowerWash 2.0PowerWash 2.0, a washing techniquedeveloped by Miele, is activated in thefollowing programmes with small andmedium-sized loads:

– Cottons

– Minimum iron

– Shirts

– Automatic plus

How it works

Conventional washing techniques washwith more water than the laundry canabsorb. This total volume of waterneeds to be heated.

The PowerWash 2.0 washing techniqueonly uses slightly more water than thelaundry can absorb. The water whichhas not been absorbed by the laundryheats up the drum and the laundry andis sprayed into the laundry over andover again. This reduces the amount ofenergy used.

Activation

The washing machine calculates theload at the beginning of the washprogramme. PowerWash 2.0 isactivated if the following conditions arepresent:

– There is a small to medium-sizedlaundry load in the drum.

– The temperature selected does notexceed 60°C.

An unsatisfactory wash result


Liquid detergent doesnot give the requiredresult.

Liquid detergents usually contain no bleachingagents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and teastains. Use the Miele 2 Phase System. The targeted

addition of UltraPhase 2 during the wash processremoves stains effectively.

Use a general purpose powder detergentcontaining a bleaching agent.

White residues whichlook like powderdetergent are seen ondark textiles afterwashing.

The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aidwater softening which are not soluble in water. Thesehave 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 does

not contain zeolites. Liquid detergents usually donot contain zeolites.

Use the Dark garments programme.

Grey, greasy particlescling to washed laundry.

Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to breakdown the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry. Use more detergent or liquid detergent. Before washing the next load, run the Clean

machine programme using the Miele IntenseCleanwashing machine cleaner or a powder detergent.

The inlet hoses

– The casing on the inlet hosescontains two solenoid valves ,which cut off the water intake directlyat the tap. These valves provide two-fold protection. In the event that oneof the valves is faulty, the other valvewill cut off the water intake.Blocking the water intake at the tapmeans that the inlet hoses are onlyunder pressure whilst water is beingtaken into the machine. For theremainder of the time, pressure onthe inlet hoses is negligible.

– Protection against the solenoidvalves bursting.The solenoid valves are pressuretested to between 7000 kPa and10000 kPa against bursting.

– The double-skinned inlet hoses have a pressure-resistant inner hoseand a protective sleeve. Any leakingwater is fed into the sump throughthis protective sleeve. A float switch closes the solenoid valves,preventing any more water flowinginto the machine and water in thesuds container is pumped away.

– Drainage protectionAny leaking water is collected in thesump in the base of the machine.A float switch closes the solenoidvalves , preventing any more waterfrom flowing into the machine andwater in the suds container ispumped away.

– Overflow protectionIf the water level exceeds a certainlevel, the drain pump switches inand pumps the excess water away ina controlled manner.Should the water level rise repeatedlyin an uncontrolled way, the drainpump will switch on continuously,the washing machine will indicatethat there is a fault and a tone willsound.

Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by aventilation system which prevents thewashing machine from being emptiedcompletely.

Connection to the water supply

Risk of electric shock!There are electrical wires in the waterinlet hose.The inlet hose must not beconnected in an area subject tospray water, e.g. in a bathroom orshower room.

The casing on the water inlet hosemust not get wet.

The protective sleeve must not bedamaged or kinked.


92

The washing machine must beconnected to a mains water supply inaccordance with current local andnational safety regulations.

IMPORTANT Australia and NewZealand

This appliance must be installedaccording to AS/NZS 3500.1. Backflowprevention is already integrated in theappliance.

The flow pressure must amount to aminimum of 100 kPa (1 bar) and mustnot exceed an overpressure of1000 kPa (10 bar). If it is higher than1000 kPa, a pressure reduction valvemust be installed.

Connection to the mains water supplyshould incorporate a water tap with a¾" threaded union. If this is notavailable, only a qualified installer mayconnect the washing machine to themains water supply.

The connection point is subject tomains water pressure.Turn on the tap slowly and check forleaks. Correct the position of thewasher and union if necessary.

Maintenance

Only use a Miele Waterproof systemhose should you need a replacement.

Damage caused by dirty water.This washing machine has a filter inthe hose connection to the casing toprotect the solenoid valve.This filter must not be removed.


93

This washing machine can beoperated with cold mains water and/orhot water.

Damage caused by incorrectwater connection.Connection to hot water only is notpermitted. The washing machinerequires a cold water connectionwhen operating with hot water inorder to control the temperature ofthe wash water.Always connect the washingmachine to cold mains water.

Programming the washing machine forhot water operation is described in“Settings - Water intake”.

Markings on the water inlet hoses

Cold water (coldmains water)

= Silver label

Hot water oralternative watersupply

= Red label

Cold water (default setting)

The washing machine will be operatedwith cold mains water only.

The other inlet hose is secured to theback of the washing machine.

Hot water

– The preferred temperature is 55°C.The temperature must not not exceed60°C. Consult a qualified plumber ifthe temperature exceeds 60°C.

– You can heat up your water withcheaper, primary energy sources, e.g.gas, solar power, oil.

– Before connecting to the mains watertap, check that the outflow of coldwater does not exceed 5 litres. Eachadditional litre of cold water reducesthe energy efficiency.

– If the hot water tap is turned off forsome time, the washing machine willautomatically switch to the coldwater connection. This safetymeasure is not intended for thepermanent operation of theappliance. The washing machinecontinues to wash using hot wateroperation, but washing results areworsened.


94

DrainageThe suds are drained through a drainpump with a 1 m delivery head. For thewater to drain freely, the hose must beinstalled free of kinks.If required, the hose can be extended toa length of up to 5 m. The necessaryparts can be purchased from Miele.

For a delivery head of more than 1 m(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacementdrain pump will need to be fitted.Please contact Miele for advice.For a delivery head of 1.8 m the hosecan be extended to a length of up to 2.5m. The necessary parts can bepurchased from Miele.

Drain hose connection options

1. Directed into a sink or basin.

Please note:

– Hook the hose over the edge andsecure it.

– Make sure that the water can drainaway freely without hindrance.Otherwise there is a risk of wateroverflowing or of some of thedrained water being sucked backinto the machine.

2. Connected securely to a plastic drainpipe with a rubber nipple (there is noneed to use a siphon).

3. Connected securely to a floor drain(gully).

4. Connected securely to a standpipe.

Please note:

a Adapter

b Nut

c Hose clip

d End of the hose

Attach the end of the hose to theadapter .

Use a screwdriver to tighten the hoseclip up close to the nut.


95

Electrical connectionThe washing machine is supplied with amains cable with moulded plug readyfor connection to a switched socket.

Risk of fire from overheating!Connecting the washing machine toa multi-socket plug adapter or to anextension lead can overload thecable.Do not use an extension lead ormulti-socket plug adapter.

The socket must be easily accessibleafter the machine has been installed.

All electrical work must be carried outby a suitably qualified and competentperson, in strict accordance withnational and local safety regulations.For extra safety, it is advisable to installa residual current device (RCD) with atrip current of 30 mA. Ensure power isnot supplied to the appliance until afterthe installation has been completed.Connection should be made via asuitable switched socket.

If the connection cable is damaged, itmust only be replaced with a specificconnection cable of the same type(available from Miele). For safetyreasons, such replacement may only becarried out by a qualified technician orMiele.
