Disposal 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 and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be disconnected from the
mains electricity supply by a competent
person. The cable should be cut off
directly behind it to prevent misuse.
See the "Warning and Safety" section of
this booklet for further details.
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.

To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine please read
these operating 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 new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner of the
machine.
Correct use
Only use this washer-extractor 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 is not liable for
damage resulting from improper use or
operation.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this
machine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the machine 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).
Do not connect the machine to the
mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
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 approved
technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
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 mains, or
–the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Warning and Safety instructions

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.
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
In countries where there are 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 machine guarantee.
Use
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Do not install this machine in rooms
where temperatures below freezing
may occur. Frozen hoses may burst
under pressure. 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
struts at the rear of the machine have
been removed (see section on
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit
strut 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.
If hooking the drain hose of a drain
pump machine 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. Otherwise this will result in
flooding.
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
7

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. If in
doubt contact the Miele Professional
Dept. or your Miele Dealer.
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 in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such
detergents also pose a fire and
explosion hazard.
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.
Safety with children
This machine is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury do not allow
children to play on or near it or to play
with the controls. Supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm, and supervise
children whilst you are operating the
machine.
For machines with a 'porthole'
door, remember that the porthole
glass will be hot when washing at very
high temperatures.
Do not let children touch it.
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.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
disconnect it from the electricity
supply. Cut off the cable directly behind
the machine to prevent misuse. This
should be done by a competent
person.
The manufacturer 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).

BLoad the drum
^Press the abutton and open the
drum door.
The interior drum lighting will come on.
^Unfold the laundry and load loosely
in 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 garments are
caught between the drum door and
seal.
CSelect programme
You can select a programme either by:
–using the appropriate short cut
button to select one of the four
programmes listed in the display
('favourites'), or
–by calling up the
Programme
selection
menu.
^If required, you can then select any
Extras and/or Delay start from the
relevant sub-menu.
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 the door is
opened or the programme cancelled
after it has started.

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.

EStart the programme
The
Start button will flash as soon as a
programme can be started.
^Press the
Start button.
The Start button will light up.
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 to let you know
which section of the programme has
been reached.
The drum lighting switches off once the
programme has started.
Once washing is in progress, you can
press one of the short cut buttons to
select or de-select additional options,
or call up other information as follows:
– Button D
Extras can be used to
select or de-select extras.
–Button E
Timer can be used to call
up the current time of day and to see
the estimated end time of the
programme.
–Button G
Cancel cancels the
current programme. The suds are
pumped away immediately.
FUnload the drum
Only remove laundry from the
machine once the drum has
stopped turning. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely
dangerous and could result in injury.
If laundry is not removed as soon as the
programme has finished, the
anti-crease phase will begin and the
drum will turn at intervals to help
prevent creasing.
Anti-crease will flash alternately with
Finish in the display to indicate that the
programme has finished.
^Press the abutton to open the
drum door.
^Remove the laundry.
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.
^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.
