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.

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.
~In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine is
only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
–it is switched off at the isolator switch, or
–it is switched off at the mains, or
–the mains fuse has been withdrawn, or the screw-out fuse is
removed (in countries where this is applicable).
Warning and Safety instructions
8

~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 unit. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the machine (e.g. danger or overheating).
~The appliance may only be operated when the following
conditions are met:
– the ship’s hull is longer than 28 metres.
– the list of the vessel is not more than 2°.

Warning and Safety instructions
10

Correct use
~The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 6.5 kg. See
the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in
individual programmes.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~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.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~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.
~A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing
machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional
accessory).
~If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an
optional accessory), please make sure you order the right one for

1. Sort the laundry
^Empty all pockets.
,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to textiles and to
components in the machine.
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. With particularly stubborn
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
,Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in this 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.
Notes and tips on laundry care
17

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.
–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, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from
being rolled up inside them.
– Further tips can be found under
"Programme chart".
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label (hsymbol).
2. Load the drum
^Switch the machine on with the
On/Off button K.
The interior drum lighting will come
on.
^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 no items are
caught between the door and the
drum.
3. Select a programme
^Select the most appropriate
programme for the load being
washed (see "Programme chart").
Payment system
If your machine is connected to a
payment system, the amount of
payment required will appear in the
display.
Credit will be lost if, after the
programme has started, the door is
opened or the programme
cancelled.
