Disposing of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally 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.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are offered for recycling.
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 or 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.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person.
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.
Detergent
– Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
–Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads.

This machine conforms to current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage 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
maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that they are
made available to new users. They 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.

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 continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety requirement is present 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.
~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°.
– any external vibration is no more than 150 Hz at an amplitude of
0.35 mm.
The safe operation and correct functioning of the appliance can only
be guaranteed if the above conditions are met.
~The appliance may not be operated on an open deck.
~Appliances without the "CSA C/US"- safety certificate are built to
comply with european safety regulations.
They must not be used in the USA.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~A risk assessment of the installation must be carried out by a
suitably qualified engineer before this appliance is installed or used.
Installation must only be carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
~The appliance must be fixed in position when it is installed.
Failure to do this could result in personal injury and damage to
property.
~If this machine is being used in a commercial environment please
ensure that all relevant health and safety regulations are obeyed.
~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.
~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.
~For hard-wired machines, the all-pole isolator provided on-site

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
this washing machine.
