Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the washing machine from damage dur‐
ing transportation. The packaging ma‐
terials used are selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur‐
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites. 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.
Disposing of your old appli‐
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of‐
ten contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐
tentially hazardous to human health and
to the environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance. Therefore, please do
not dispose of your old appliance with
your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com‐
munity waste collection / recycling cen‐
tre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being stor‐
ed for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
This washing machine complies with current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and dam‐
age 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 mainte‐
nance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future user.
Correct application
This washing machine is designed for domestic use and for use in
similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &
breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, mo‐
tels or bed & breakfasts.
The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.
It must only be used to wash garments which have been declared
suitable for washing by the manufacturer indicated on the garment
care label. Any other use is not permitted. Miele cannot be held lia‐
ble for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
This washing machine is not intended for use by persons (includ‐
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible
for their safety.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, rec‐
ognising the dangers of misuse.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine
and 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 externally
visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.
Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the connec‐
tion data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency)
matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali‐
fied electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaran‐
teed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earth‐
ing system which complies with current 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
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electri‐
cian. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inade‐
quate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity sup‐
ply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do
not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to
the risk of overheating).
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
Miele replacement parts are used.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation
so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply
if necessary.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washing ma‐
chine 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 machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the
condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in
good time and avoid the risk of any water damage.
The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should not
exceed 1000 kPa.
This washing machine must not be installed and operated in mo‐
bile installations (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 machine warranty.
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk
of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the elec‐
tronic 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 "Installation
and connection - Removing the transit bars"). 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 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 the imme‐
diate 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 contain‐
er, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam
function. There is a danger of burning due to escaping steam and
the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the port‐
hole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until the
steam has dissipated.
The maximum load for this washing machine is 8 kg (dry weight).
See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads
for individual programmes.
If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine
should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale
it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent.
Miele recommends using Miele descaler for washing machines
which is available to order online at www.miele-shop.com (depend‐
ing on country) or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on the
packaging.
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being wash‐
ed in the machine.
Do not 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 ex‐
plosion hazard.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine, to clean the external surfaces of the machine. They can
cause damage to plastic surfaces.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufac‐
turer's instructions carefully.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in
this machine.
If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thor‐
oughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical
assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for refer‐
ence. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their
skin coming into contact with detergent.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this ap‐
pliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are
used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liabil‐
ity.
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing
machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional
accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele
washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compli‐
ance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Before using for the first time
17
Before using the machine for the
first time, ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See "Instal‐
lation and connection". Also check
that the filters are securely tightened
to prevent the risk of water leaks
during use.
This washing machine has undergone
a complete functional test at the fac‐
tory and there will be some residual
water in the drum from this process.
For safety reasons, spinning is not pos‐
sible until the machine has been pre‐
pared for use for the first time. To acti‐
vate the spinning function, you must
run a wash programme without laundry
and without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an ex‐
cessive build-up of foam.
This also activates the ball valve. The
ball valve prevents detergent escaping
from the suds container into the sump
during a wash programme, thus making
maximum use of the detergent.
Press the button in.
The welcome screen will light up.

Before using for the first time
18
Running the first programme
The TwinDos unit needs to be activa‐
ted before running the first pro‐
gramme.
Please see "TwinDos".

TwinDos
19
The washing machine has an integrated
detergent dispensing unit.
The detergent dispensing unit can be
used with
1. the Miele 2 Phase System
or
2. any other liquid detergent and/or fab‐
ric softener
The Miele 2 Phase System
The Miele 2 Phase System uses a base
detergent (UltraPhase 1) and a deter‐
gent enhancer (UltraPhase 2). In order
to achieve optimum results, the agents
are dispensed separately during the
wash process. The 2 Phase System
cleans both white and coloured textiles
thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and
UltraPhase 2 single use cartridges are
available to order from Miele or via the
internet at www.miele-shop.com (de‐
pending on country).
Liquid detergent/Fabric softener
The washing machine is supplied with
two refillable containers which you can
fill with liquid detergent and/or fabric
softener.
How TwinDos works
Automatic detergent dispensing for a
wash cycle is activated via the Dos
sensor.
To use the TwinDos function, you need
to specify the following information for
the electronic unit:
1. The detergent type and/or fabric
softener with which the containers
are filled.
2. The dosage amount of the liquid de‐
tergent and/or fabric softener. The
dosage amount for Miele products is
preset at the factory.
Do not fill the containers with any
specialist detergents. Use cap dos‐
ing or the detergent dispenser draw‐
er for these.
Automatic dispensing cannot be selec‐
ted with some programmes, depending
on the detergent present in the TwinDos
system. For example, automatic dis‐
pensing cannot be activated for the
Woollens programme if the Miele 2
Phase System is being used. This pre‐
vents woollen garments being dam‐
aged by a detergent which is not suita‐
ble for washing wool.

TwinDos
20
Inserting cartridges/containers
Keep filled containers or car‐
tridges out of the reach of children.
Observe the instructions for use and
warning instructions given by the de‐
tergent manufacturer.
Press the TwinDos container access
panel.
The panel will spring open.
Drop the panel down.
Using cartridges
UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 are
supplied in single use cartridges.
Press the yellow release button (1.)
and pull the container out (2.).
Remove the cap from the cartridge.
