Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
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 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.
Energy saving tips
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.
– If smaller loads are washed using the
Cottons programmes, the automatic
load recognition system will reduce
the amount of water, time and energy
used.
– Use the Quick wash programme for
small loads.
Detergent
– Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
– Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads.
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.

must be made aware of these
warning and safety instructions.
Pass them on to any future users/
owners of the machine.
Correct application
~Only use the machine to wash items
which are specified by the
manufacturer to be machine-washable
on the wash-care label, and textiles
composed of hand-washable wool or
wool blend fabrics as well as satin,
lace, silk and other hand-washable
garments. Any other applications may
be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage
resulting from incorrect or improper use
of the machine.
~This machine must be used as
described in these operating
instructions and must be checked on a
regular basis to make sure it is
functioning correctly. Maintenance
must be carried out when necessary.
~This 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 in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.
~This machine is not intended for
outdoor use.
~Keep children away from the
machine at all times. It is not a toy! To
avoid the risk of injury do not allow
children to play on or near it or to play
with its controls. Supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm, and supervise
children whilst you are using it.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

Technical safety
~Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
machine.
~The electrical safety of this 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 on-site 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).
~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
this is not done, any resultant damage
will not be covered by the guarantee.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
~Do not make any alterations to the
machine, unless authorised to do so by
Miele.
~The machine must be isolated from
the electricity supply in the event of a
fault and during installation,
maintenance and repair work.
~This machine must only be
connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hoses must
not be re-used. Check the hose
regularly for signs of wear. Change in
good time to avoid the risk of leaks and
subsequent damage.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
~Do not connect the machine to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead or a multi-socket adapter. These
do not guarantee the required safety of
the machine (e.g. danger or
overheating).
Warning and Safety instructions
7

~If this machine is being used in a
commercial environment please ensure
that all relevant health and safety
regulations are obeyed.
~This machine must not be used in a
non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
~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.
Correct use
~Do not install your 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 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.
~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 your Miele Dealer or the
Miele Spare Parts Department.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

~Textiles which have been
pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in
clean water before being washed in the
machine.
~Never use solvent based cleaning
agents, 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 explosion hazard.
~Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any
easily flammable liquid must not be
stored or used near the machine. Fire
and explosion risk!
~Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use
in a 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.
~Avoid contact of stainless steel
surfaces (front, lid, casing) with liquid
cleaning and disinfecting agents which
contain chlorine or sodium
hypochlorite. These agents can have a
corrosive effect on stainless steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine
bleach can also be corrosive. Do not
store open containers of these agents
near the machine.
~Do not use a high pressure cleaner
or hose to clean the machine.
~It is particularly important to observe
the manufacturer's instructions when
using a combination of cleaning agents
and special application products.
Products must only be used for
applications approved by the
manufacturer to avoid any material
damage or the occurrence of strong
chemical reactions
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.

Brief instructions
The headings numbered A,B,C,...
show the operating sequence and can
be used as brief instructions.
ASort the laundry
^Empty all pockets.
,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to garments and
components in the machine.
Removing marks
^Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be removed 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.
,Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in 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 (hsymbol).
How to wash correctly
13

BLoad the drum
^Switch the machine on with the K
button.
^Press the Door button and 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.
^Shut the door with a gentle swing.
Make sure that items do not get
caught between the drum door and
the seal.
How to wash correctly

CSelect a programme
^The wash programmes and
temperatures are selected with the
programme selector.
The programme selected will appear in
the display.
Cottons universal
The display will switch to show the
menu for the programme selected.
60°C 1400 rpm
Duration: 0:59 h
^You can then alter the spin speed
which is shown highlighted with the –
or +button. Confirm your selection by
pressing the OK button.
Pre-wash
^Select the Pre-wash additional option
for laundry with large amounts of dirt,
e.g. dust, sand.
Pre-wash is not available for using
with every programme.
Delay start
^Select Delay start, if required (see
"Delay start").
How to wash correctly
15

DAdd detergent
Take the level of soiling and water
hardness into account. 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 detergent results in:
– Excessive foam which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
– A burden to the environment.
See "Detergent" for further information.
^Pull out the detergent drawer and
add detergent to the compartments
as follows:
i= Detergent for the pre-wash
(1/4of the total amount
recommended).
This compartment is also used
for starch formulations when
starching separately.
j= Detergent for the main wash
§= Fabric conditioner or
liquid starch
^Close the detergent drawer.
How to wash correctly

Payment system
If your machine is connected to a
payment system, the amount of credit
required will appear in the display.
Credit will be lost if, after the
programme has started, the door is
opened or the programme cancelled.
EStart the programme
The Start button will flash as soon as a
programme can be started.
^Press the Start button.
The Start button will now light up.
If Delay start has not been selected, the
estimated programme duration will
appear in the display. This will count
down in one minute steps. During the
first 10 minutes the machine measures
how much water is being absorbed by
the laundry. The programme duration
may be shorter depending on this
absorbency rate.
The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The machine lets
you know which section of the
programme has been reached.
FUnload the drum
If the laundry is not removed immedi-
ately the programme has finished, the
anti-crease phase will begin and the
drum will turn at intervals to help
prevent creasing.
The machine will switch off
automatically 15 minutes after the
end of the anti-crease phase. You will
need to press the Kbutton to switch
it back on again.
^Press the Door button to open the
drum door.
^Unload the drum.
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.
^Turn the programme selector to
Finish.
^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.
^Switch the machine off with the K
button.
